Chapter 213: The past haunting his present

Chapter 213: The past haunting his present

Jinhai warmly smiled at Nana. “Anything wrong?”

Nana said, “No. I was just curious about this room.”

He tenderly kissed her cheek. “It’s just an old archive room. We have kept some old company files dating to perhaps more than twenty years back. It’s dirty and messed up.”

Eh? A dirty room in this beautiful, clean lounge? Suspicious…

Nana teasingly said, “Are you purposely not letting me go inside? How should I believe you? Maybe you are hiding some secret?” She dramatically put her finger on her chin as if in deep thought. Then she widened her eyes. “Are you cheating behind my back? There must be some clues inside your affair with some woman. Tell me who she is!” She put her hands on her waist and glared at him.

Jinhai remained calm and merely smiled. He suddenly pulled himself to her and bit her below her ear, leaving a glaring red mark. He agonizingly flicked his tongue over it.

“My wife is doubting my fidelity. How can I bear this? I think I failed to make myself quite clear in the last two hours, who is the only woman in my life.”

Nana stiffened.

She nervously laughed. “What, did you take me seriously? I was joking. Of course, I believe you.”

A thin line of sweat formed on her forehead. She really cannot afford to have another round. She still felt the lingering ache in her waist.

“I-I need to leave now. I remember I got some urgent work!”

She took one step sideways, but he blocked her and picked her up like a sack on his shoulders.

She pitifully cried. “No, Jinhai, please! I realize my mistake. I shouldn’t have teased you. Please let me go.”

Jinhai sneered. “The damage is done, my wife. You have hurt my feelings by doubting my love for you. I need to punish you.”

He spanked her hard on her butt.

Nana was stupefied.

Did he just spank me?

She felt utterly shameful and hid her face in his neck.

While she was busy being embarrassed, she didn’t even realize when he undressed her. He softly threw her on the bed, parted her legs, and swiftly entered her.

“Ahnnn!!!”

He pinched her jaw, and his eyes carried a dangerous glint in them. “This time for sure, I will carve my love into you. You will never doubt me again even as a joke.” He smirked as he started mercilessly thrusting inside her.

Jianyu was cooking a delicious meal for his girlfriend.

Serena looked a lot worn out in these last few days. She must be tired of handling such a big project. The food will definitely cheer her up.

His lips curled into a doting smile.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of arms hugging him from behind.

“Hey, boyfriend.”

He put the spatula down and turned. “Hey, girlfriend.”

Her eyes brightened, seeing him cook. “Is this for me!?”

“Yes.” He pinched her cute nose.

She quickly tiptoed and pecked his chin.

“I want to say something.”

“I want to say something.”

Both said at the same.

Jianyu said, “You say it first.”

“Ah, no. You go ahead.”

Jianyu paused and nodded.

“I wanted to ask you about your career. What are you planning to do when the Chen Corps project is over?”

She smiled sheepishly. “I have not thought about it. Right now, I am applying for other interior design companies for a job.”

Jianyu said, “I have a suggestion.”

“Yeah?”

“Why don’t you try opening your own interior design company?”

Serena was stunned. “What?”

“Yes. Your designs are the best that I have seen until now. You are passionate and dedicated to your work. I’m sure your company will flourish in no time.”

She actually did think about opening her own company in the future. But, she was hesitant. She had no background in business management. Her confidence would shake just like a seesaw. Sometimes she felt like she could do it, other times, she felt like it’s no joke to open a company and have such huge responsibility.

Creating designs is a part, but handling the business is another.

“I-I have actually thought about it.”

Jianyu said, “Really? That is great!”

“But…” She pursed her lips.

“But?”

“I know only how to make designs. I know nothing about managing a business. Opening a company is more than just creating designs. There are so many things like investment, staff, marketing, competition…I don’t know anything about it.” She sulked.

He kissed her lips. “You can learn everything step by step. There is no hurry.” He furrowed his brows. “And I don’t like seeing you so hesitant. I like only my strong and confident Serena.”

She chuckled emotionally. “Are you that confident in me?”

“I have seen your designs myself. I’m more than just confident. Don’t worry. I will teach you everything about business management. Leave it to me.”

She was surprised. “You know about it?”

Jianyu coughed.

Can he tell that he is the CEO of Chen Corps managing his family business?

“A little…”

Serena jumped into his arms. “You are the best!”

She just needed a push in that direction, and Jianyu gave her that. Now with his support, she was really excited about it.

Jianyu asked, “What were you going to say?”

She was about to say when her phone rang from the living room.

He said, “Wait, I will get it for you.”

But the call was cut off when he took her phone. He was about to keep it back, but then his finger accidentally touched an app, and it opened many photos.

He glanced at it and froze.

There were many pictures of Serena standing and laughing with a girl.

He blinked his eyes many times to see the girl beside her.

Serena came and saw him looking at the photos.

“Peeping Tom!” she laughed. “You are invading my privacy.” She jokingly said.

Jianyu slowly raised his head to meet her eyes. He was still in disbelief. He didn’t want this to be true.

“T-this girl…” His voice was trembling. There was a hint of fear in it.

Serena looked at it and exclaimed. “Ah, She is my best friend. Remember, I would sometimes talk about her? She is her. Her name is Nana.”

The phone fell from his hands.

“Hey! You will break my phone!” She pouted and looked at her phone in grievance.

Jianyu felt as if a thunderbolt struck him out of nowhere. He never imagined in his wildest dream that Serena and Nana knew each other and what’s more they were even best friends.

The memories of his injustice to Nana came flashing by.

How he left her all alone at that shed, injured and bleeding, how she was plotted against by Suyin just because he forgave her, how she had to bear so much humiliation in front of the media…

Serena saw him in a trance. She didn’t understand why he suddenly turned silent. She gently patted his shoulder. “What happened?”

His eyes turned misty, reminiscing the past, not only his unfairness but also feeling a new fear.

It was apparent how much Serena liked Nana and valued their friendship. If she comes to know the truth, then will she…hate him? Will she leave him forever?

His chest constricted at the thought. He suddenly felt difficulty in breathing.

After so long, he had finally found hope in love. He had genuinely fallen for Serena. It was impossible for him to live without her.

Now the thought of losing her terrified him.

“Are you okay?” Serena was getting worried. “You are sweating. I will bring water-“

“I remembered I have some work. I have to go.” His heart was messed up, and he needed some time alone to figure things out.

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“Yeah…”

“Do you have to go now? Actually, I wanted to say something important…”

His hands were shaking as he patted her head. “Later, okay? Please? Let’s talk about it in the evening.”

He didn’t give her any chance to talk further and left the house taking huge strides.

“Ah, wait for Jianyu-“

But he was already gone.

She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. She wanted to share this good news with him and celebrate quickly. She couldn’t wait to see his dumbfounded, shocked, emotional, and happy expressions all at once.

She caressed her belly and giggled. “Your daddy is really bad. He totally ignored us. Let him come back and see how I will teach him a good lesson. I will give him a nice beating.”

Silver Star villa.

Chen Liling was absentmindedly going through Jianyu’s photo album. It had his pictures from childhood until now.

She touched one of the photos. It was of the day when he first took the CEO seat. He was smiling brightly, showing his determination to become a great leader, just like his father.

A tear dropped on it.

“I miss you…”

She came out of her trance as her phone rang. She took a glance at it and was shocked.

Jianyu…

She quickly answered it. The line was silent for a few moments.

She broke the silence and softly said, “Jianyu…”

No response.

“Jianyu…”

“…Mom.”

Her heart ached. It was so long hearing his voice.

“Mom…”

She could hear him sobbing softly and panicked. “Jianyu, what happened? Are you crying?”

“Mom…I messed it up. I don’t want to lose her. Please help me.” He broke down in tears.
