Chapter 224: Literally a shock

Nana got alerted. “Who are you?”

The other voice chuckled. “Don’t delve into my identity, young woman. You should be worrying about your marriage, especially your husband.”

Nana was getting more and more confused. She turned serious. “Excuse me, whoever you are, please stop it. I don’t like such jokes.”

“Do you think this is some kind of a prank call? Sadly, it isn’t dear.”

Nana was trying hard to recognize the voice, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t even make out if it was a man or a woman speaking. The voice was altered.

“Your happy days are about to end.” It spoke like an ultimatum.

Nana was getting a little anxious. “What do you mean?”

“It’s time for you to compensate. And your compensation will be to lose your husband forever. Your retribution will be to live a life of loneliness until you breathe your last.”

Nana was becoming agitated. “Who are you? What do you want?”

The voice at the other end sounded lazy and relaxed. “What do I want? I want you to do exactly what I say from now on. I will give you instructions, and you would follow them like a puppet. If you fail to do as I say, then your husband will have to pay the price for that.”

Nana couldn’t understand from where did this stranger appeared so suddenly and was threatening her marriage.

And Jinhai will pay the price…

She got scared.

Nana tried to calm her nervous self. “Please stop doing this. Is it fun to trouble people like that? I don’t even know you, and I have never offended anyone.”

The voice chuckled. “The culprit always says the same thing – that they are innocent and they have never harmed anybody. Now enough of chit-chatting.” The tone of that person turned cold. “You will do as I say, and you won’t speak a word about our conversation to Liu Jinhai.”

Nana thought that this was a terrible joke. “I won’t do anything, you say. What do you take me for? A stranger calls me and says to follow his command, do you think I’m an idiot?”

Nana heard the other person laughing hysterically. She gripped the phone hard. “Oh dear, oh dear. You will soon realize that this is not a silly joke. And you will realize it when your husband will get the biggest shock of his life. Until then, ba-bye.”

“Hello? Hello?” But the stranger already hung up the phone.

Nana’s heart was rapidly palpitating. She didn’t want to take this call seriously, but she was still worried.

‘This must be really a sick joke.’

To reassure herself, she called Jinhai. That unknown person told her that he would harm him. She wanted to know if he was safe.

“Nana.” Jinhai warmly said.

She heard his voice and felt relieved. So, everything was fine at his end. She softly asked. “Where are you?”

“In the office. What happened? Are you feeling unwell?” He sounded worried.

“No, no, it’s nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice. I was missing you.”

Silence.

“Jinhai?” She got afraid again when she didn’t hear any response. “Jinhai, are you there?”

“En. I’m here.” He sighed. “My wife is missing me, but I cannot be there with you.” He sulkily said, “I want to cancel all meetings.”

Nana laughed. “It’s alright. Work is important.” Her heart was finally at ease now. “Now, don’t slack Mr. Liu and get on with your work.”

“Wait, don’t hang up the phone yet. Why don’t we talk like this while doing our work? This way, we won’t miss each other.”

“I’m not so talented that I can cook while talking to you, Jinhai.”

Jinhai chuckled. “Well, then, I have a better idea. How about you become my assistant? That way, we can work together…” His voice was seductive and hoarse.

Nana’s ears reddened. “I know what kind of work you are thinking about!” She muttered. “Shameless.”

“Don’t talk like that. In fact, I think I would be more productive if my wife would be beside me.”

“Alright, alright, stop with that sweet-talking. I know your evil intentions.”

“Really? What are they?” This time she felt a slight itch in her ear. She turned and gasped.

Jinhai was standing behind her with a naughty smile on his face.

She was dumbfounded.

“Jinhai? When did you come here?”

He pulled her into his arms. “When you were lost in talking to your beloved husband.”

“No, I mean, why?”

“Didn’t you say you were missing me? How can I let my wife be troubled?”

Then she understood.

Ah, so that was an excuse to keep her talking while he had already left for Natsukashi.

At Liu Corps, poor Xin was sobbing hard. Jinhai had mercilessly dumped all of his work upon him.

“Do you like my surprise?”

Nana nodded furiously. After that strange call, Jinhai’s physical presence assured her even more. Now she was sure that somebody made a bad joke.

“En.” She hugged him and buried her face in his chest.

Jinhai saw a strange sense of relief in her expression. He slightly furrowed his brows. He looked at her tender smile, and his gaze softened. He couldn’t help but duck his head and kiss her lips.

Nana hit him in the chest. “The staff is still on duty.” She whispered.

He raised his brow and gripped her chin with his finger, pressing on it. Nana opened her mouth in surprise, and he quickly took this chance to insert his tongue inside.

Nana widened her eyes. He was passionately swirling and mingling his tongue with hers while sucking on her lower lip. She felt a familiar giddiness surge inside her.

Jinhai was so expertly leading the kiss that Nana was forced to respond to it. She closed her eyes and let Jinhai take the lead.

“Mam, I have checked-” Meiling was stupefied watching the scene before her. Her mouth was wide open.

Nana snapped out of the kissing trance and saw Meiling looking at them speechlessly.

“I-I am so sorry! I came at the wrong time. Please c-continue!” She ran away.

“Mmphf!”

Jinhai finally let go of her. Her pink lips were swollen.

“Oh no, Meiling saw us.” She was thoroughly embarrassed. What face would she show her from now on?

“So?” He lazily said.

She glared at him. “It’s all your fault!” She wanted to cry but lacked tears to shed.

Jinhai pinched her cute nose. “Forget about her. Your husband is starving.” He made a cute, pouting face.

She softly said, “En. Wait for ten minutes. I will cook you a delicious lunch.”

“My wife is the best.”

—

Jinhai reluctantly left after having lunch. Nana had to push him out of Natsukashi literally and force him into his car.

The bodyguards saw this scene speechlessly.

It was the first time somebody was pushing away their boss. And the boss wasn’t even offended.

Nana saw him drive away, and her restless heart calmed down.

In the evening, Grandma Liu got hungry a little earlier than usual. She was tired of sitting in the room, so she went into the kitchen.

She was surprised to see Nana cooking.

Nana said in delight. “Grandma! Are you hungry?”

Grandma Liu cleared her throat. “What are you doing here?”

“Oh, I just had the urge to eat some fish soup, so I’m making a bowl for myself. Do you want some?”

“Then tell the maid to cook for you. Why are you doing it yourself? Hmph! Do I need to tell you such a simple thing?”

She smiled sheepishly. “I’m used to doing everything on my own so…”

Grandma smelled a lovely fragrance coming from the pot of soup. She could tell that the soup must taste delicious. Now she was even more hungry. But she wouldn’t accept it.

She snorted. “You do whatever you want. I just came for some fresh air. I am definitely not hungry.”

Nana had the urge to laugh.

The soup was ready, and Nana took a serving. “Mmmnnn, so tasty!”

Grandma Liu was sneakily watching her. She wanted to have some soup as well! Nana’s expression showed that it was indeed delicious!

After some time, Nana was satisfied. She put the lid over the pot and went out.

Grandma Liu quickly entered and opened the lid. She was mesmerized by just it’s aroma alone.

She tasted it and couldn’t help herself crave for more. In no time, the pot was empty and her belly full.

She mumbled. “That girl does have some merits.” She looked here and there and arrogantly left as if she had nothing to do with the soup thievery.

Nana saw everything, hiding in the corner and giggling and patting herself for a plan that went perfectly.

 When Jinhai returned at night, Nana’s sight went onto his right hand that had a dressing on it.

“Jinhai! How did you hurt your hand?” She asked worriedly.

He smiled. “Silly, it’s just a minor thing. There was a loose wire, and I accidentally got zapped by it.”

“But…”

“It’s fine.” He patted her head. “I’m going for a shower.”

Nana’s phone buzzed with a message.

Her heart thudded loudly.

It was the same unknown number.

‘Liu Jinhai got a ‘shock,’ right? Now, do you realize that I’m not joking?’
