The Fake Heiress's Husband Reborn

For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...

Chapter 61 When have I ever broken my word?

Xie Jing wanted to struggle: "I can walk by myself."

Zhou Jiyun weighed Xie Jing's body effortlessly: "But I just want to hug you."

Xie Jing instinctively hugged Zhou Jiyun's shoulders and hit him with her left hand: "You scared me!"

Zhou Jiyun smiled and even weighed it again: "Don't worry, you won't fall."

This was the treasure he had finally grasped in his life, so how could he possibly hurt Xie Jing in the slightest? Putting Xie Jing on the big bed, Zhou Jiyun was about to lean over and kiss her when Xie Jing rolled over and rolled to the inside of the bed.

She even grabbed a corner of the quilt and held it tightly to her chest, her eyes full of vigilance.

Seeing Xie Jing's defensive look, Zhou Jiyun was both angry and amused. He simply covered Xie Jing's eyes with his hands: "I won't touch you. Aren't you going to take a nap? I'll lie down with you for a while."

Xie Jing blinked uncomfortably: "I...I can do it myself. I've never seen you take a lunch break before."

Her eyelashes flickered in Zhou Jiyun's palm, as if they touched Zhou Jiyun's heart. Looking at her red lips opening and closing, Zhou Jiyun's eyes darkened and his breathing became faster.

As if she sensed something was wrong, Xie Jing's breathing involuntarily became lighter, and she dared not speak anymore. However, her knuckles turned white as she held the quilt, revealing that she was not at peace.

The room fell silent for a moment. All that filled this small space was ambiguity and the purest sexual attraction between men and women. Xie Jing seemed to feel her heartbeat getting faster and faster, and she felt slightly dizzy.

Seeing Xie Jing lying on the bed obediently, Zhou Jiyun's Adam's apple moved. He really wanted to kiss her regardless of anything, but he knew it was not the right time and would scare Xie Jing.

After a long time of calming down, Zhou Jiyun finally calmed down. He took back his hand that was covering Xie Jing's eyes and lay down beside her with his clothes on. "Either take a nap or kiss, you choose one."

Xie Jing pulled the quilt all the way to her head, obviously giving the answer with her actions.

Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes helplessly and smiled, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You don't have to be so... paranoid."

Xie Jing pulled down a corner of the quilt, her eyes still wary: "Really?"

"Really, although I always like to tease you, when have I ever broken my promise?" Zhou Jiyun looked at Xie Jing sideways with a serious look in his eyes.

"You said you were on a business trip for half a month," Xie Jing blurted out the truth subconsciously, "I'm not mentally prepared yet."

Finally, he stood in front of her. In fact, Xie Jing had been a little nervous since she saw Zhou Jiyun yesterday. She was still slowly preparing herself mentally, but...

But Xie Jing couldn't say anything. After all, Zhou Jiyun was so tired when he came back, and when he faced a Shura field like He Shiyu, the first thing he did was to defend her.

Zhou Jiyun was a little upset by Xie Jing's honest words. He simply turned over and faced Xie Jing: "Sorry, I missed you too much."

Xie Jing could no longer complain. She pulled the quilt up to her chin and said, "I'm not blaming you. I just think it's too fast. We were just holding hands before, and now..."

Thinking of Zhou Jiyun's occasional surprise attacks, Xie Jing's face began to flush. Zhou Jiyun particularly liked this kind of intimacy. He approached Xie Jing and asked, "How are you now?"

Looking at the handsome face so close to her, Xie Jing pushed away with her right hand: "Don't you know what it's like now? You hug me all the time and attack me from time to time..."

The more Xie Jing spoke, the more she felt that Zhou Jiyun was scheming. She turned her head and looked at Zhou Jiyun: "I think we need to plan a process, and proceed step by step. We can't..."

"Got it. I'll definitely ask for your opinion in advance next time." Zhou Jiyun patted her back gently: "You should take a nap. Are you really not sleepy at all?"

Xie Jing's eyelids drooped unconsciously: "I'm sleepy, you can't... change the subject..."

"Then we can talk about this topic after you wake up." Zhou Jiyun didn't want to discuss anything about step-by-step procedures with Xie Jing. How boring would it be to fall in love if it was so rigid?

After Xie Jing fell asleep, Zhou Jiyun placed a kiss on her forehead. He wanted to kiss other places, but that would require Xie Jing to be awake, and taking advantage of someone in distress was certainly not Zhou Jiyun's style.

Although he was now so anxious that he was almost abnormal, and wanted to completely possess everything of Xie Jing without any regard for others, at least there was still a layer of civilization and rationality restraining him.

"Jiyun, your grandpa is looking for you." Just as Zhou Jiyun closed his eyes for a nap, there were two gentle knocks on the door. Zhou Jiyun opened his eyes suddenly, and his first reaction was to see if Xie Jing had been woken up.

Seeing Xie Jing sleeping peacefully, Zhou Jiyun got up and went out.

In the study, Zhou Jiyun and Grandpa Zhou sat opposite each other. Grandpa Zhou looked at his most satisfied grandson, who had excellent character, means, ability and appearance, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You're married now, and it's time to shoulder your responsibilities. Your second uncle... he's overambitious and incompetent, and he's also overly ambitious and narrow-minded. He's not my ideal successor."

Zhou Jiyun just listened quietly without saying a word. His second uncle did have some abilities, but they were limited to minor incidents. As for what his grandfather said about being narrow-minded... Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes.

"I've been running the family company on your father's behalf for these years, and it's time to let go. This is the share transfer agreement. You need to make arrangements for your own company."

Old Master Zhou didn't care about Zhou Jiyun's silence. His eldest grandson was old enough to have a family and had gained experience. It was time for him to enjoy his retirement.

Zhou Jiyun slowly curled his lips: "Grandpa, I will arrange it."

Mr. Zhou was particularly happy: "Okay, the shareholders' meeting is on Wednesday, is there enough time?"

Zhou Jiyun had already made preparations: "It's still in time. I have capable subordinates in my company."

It's true that he wants the family company, but Zhou Jiyun won't just give up on his own company. During this business trip, Zhou Jiyun has almost adjusted. Even if he doesn't go to the company, the company will naturally have capable people to take over.

Old Master Zhou clapped his hands and laughed. "When your parents passed away, the company's shares came into my hands again. Your father held 15% of the shares. When you were born, I transferred 5% to you. When you came of age, I also transferred your father's shares to you. Now you hold 20%."

"This is 10% of the shares. With this, my support, and your achievements over the years, you will have no problem getting promoted."

Zhou Jiyun listened to his grandfather's plan, every detail of which was for his own good, fearing that he wouldn't be able to take over the company smoothly. He was touched by his grandfather's deep love for him, but he couldn't help but wonder if his grandfather's kindness to him was partly due to his guilt towards his eldest son and daughter-in-law.
