Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Can your husband make you so comfortable...
Another body full of marks.
While changing in the dressing room, Chen Zhuo noticed what looked like red spots of blood on the lower side of her round breasts. Squinting, she couldn't see clearly, so she leaned closer to the dressing mirror to confirm that they weren't the usual red, pinched marks.
This is what Shao Chengzhang slapped him like last night.
Like red sha.
Chen Zhuo thought for two seconds, then ran out to get his phone and turned on the camera. She crossed her arms across her chest, shielding her vital parts. She only took a single photo of the red blood spots. The deep crimson stains on her pale skin were a bit shocking.
Opening the photo editing software, Chen Zhuo turned the original image into black and white, and the blood-red spots turned into black and gray.
She sent it directly to Shao Chengzhang.
Chen Zhuo: "It's bleeding [grievance]." She deliberately said it as if it was serious.
Who had treated her so harshly last night? He'd ignored her cries for mercy and requests to stop, only to become even more agitated and aggressive. Most of her newly unpacked umbrella had been used up, and the gear she'd bought had been ripped and turned into disposable items. In the end, she was reduced to a puddle, unable to utter a single word.
Shao Chengzhang didn't see Shen Zhuo's message until he left the conference room after the meeting. He clicked on the chat box, glanced at the photos that Shen Zhuo seemed to have sent, which seemed very private, and quickly exited. He could only wait until he returned to the office to see it.
When he was almost at the office, he asked Chen Hang to bring him an iced American coffee in twenty minutes.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Shao Chengzhang couldn't wait to open the picture again. It was indeed a private photo, but when he saw Shen Zhuofa's words, his heart suddenly tightened. When he enlarged the picture, it was indeed a bit scary.
Did I hit too hard yesterday?
Shao Chengzhang made the video call without hesitation. A few seconds later, Shen Zhuo picked up the call and looked at him with a pout.
"Wife, does it hurt? Let me see." Shao Chengzhang frowned slightly.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Zhuo propped up his chin and pretended not to understand.
"chest."
"You're such a scoundrel," Chen Zhuo said deliberately, "Why would you let me show you this in broad daylight?"
Shao Chengzhang pursed his lips and said seriously: "Stop messing around, let me see if it's serious." He was really worried that he was too harsh.
Seeing that there was no smile on his face, Shen Zhuo quickly waved his hands and said seriously: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, I was just scaring you."
"Honey, I don't like you saying it's okay at all."
Chen Zhuo assured him, "It's really okay! If you don't believe me, come back and see for yourself tonight."
Shao Chengzhang breathed a sigh of relief this time, "I won't do that again."
Chen Zhuo let out a long and soft "hmm", "Actually, I quite like it, really." It was difficult for her to describe what that feeling was, but in fact she did not reject it, but rather enjoyed it a little.
When Shao Chengzhang heard her say this, he remembered how she cried last night and how hard he had nailed her. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice was a little deep. "You're provoking me again."
Chen Zhuo was unconvinced: "Who recruited you? It was you who called the video first to see that."
Shao Chengzhang asked back: "Who posted the photo first?"
Chen Zhuo: "My injuries don't count."
Shao Chengzhang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you're always right."
Shen Zhuo snorted: "I am right to begin with, don't put the blame on me if you can't argue with me."
Shao Chengzhang accepted everything and asked her, "What do you do at home?"
Shen Zhuo said: "I just contacted a few artists and I will go to the studio this afternoon."
Chen Zhuo's studio is located in an old office building in Xiangjing District. It is not large, with a total area of more than 40 square meters. It has a finance office, two offices, a small conference room and a reception area. However, even with such a small size, the monthly rent is more than 10,000 yuan.
She already had the basic tables, chairs, and sofas, so she only bought some Feng Shui-friendly items and daily and office supplies, which needed to be arranged.
Shao Chengzhang had a dinner party in the evening, and Chen Zhuo had dinner with Aunt Chen.
One thing Shen Zhuo liked about him was that Shao Chengzhang would always report in advance and take photos after arriving at the dinner party. She knew exactly how many men and women were at the table. Moreover, Shao Chengzhang didn't drink most of the time and didn't come back very late.
Today, halfway through his meal, he told himself that he had a few drinks. Shen Zhuo saw through his little tricks, but didn't expose them. He just followed his lead and asked, "Do you want me to pick you up?"
Shao Chengzhang replied: "Yes." After that, he sent the restaurant location.
"When will it end?" She looked and saw that it would take more than twenty minutes to get there by taxi.
Shao Chengzhang said: "We will end it if you come."
“…” Chen Zhuo got up, went into the house, changed into pajamas, and took a taxi to pick him up.
She went to the lobby and told Shao Chengzhang that she had arrived, and he said he would be down right away.
"Wife." Shao Chengzhang saw Chen Zhuo when he walked into the lobby and waved at her with a smile. Chen Zhuo looked over and saw four or five men of the same age around him.
As he got closer, a man next to him said, "Is this my sister-in-law? She's so beautiful. No wonder my senior got married secretly without letting us know."
Another person joked, "When we were in school, he rejected many girls in school. At that time, the cheerleading captain of another school made a bet with our school's captain to see who would get him first, but he didn't even look at them."
"If I had known earlier, my sister-in-law should have come over to have dinner with us tonight."
"No wonder he was looking at his phone all night. He was anxious to get home."
Only then did Chen Zhuo realize that Shao Chengzhang was having a dinner with his schoolmates today, and she came out casually wearing a tracksuit and framed glasses, not at all formal.
She smiled awkwardly at everyone and said hello.
Shao Chengzhang stopped their banter in time, said goodbye, and left with Chen Zhuo. He handed the Cayenne's keys to Chen Zhuo, who got in the passenger seat without hesitation. Shao Chengzhang had long legs and sat closer to the back, so Chen Zhuo adjusted his seat before driving off.
It was her first time driving a Cayenne, and she wasn't very familiar with the car, so she drove slowly all the way for fear of bumping into it.
The streetlight cast a dim light, which reflected on her body in a flickering manner as she passed by. Shao Chengzhang kept tilting his head to look at her, and while looking at her he did not forget to say, "Wife, you are so beautiful."
Finally, when the light turned red, Chen Zhuo slowly stopped and turned to meet his sullen gaze. She reached out and pushed his face to look straight ahead. "You said we've been driving all the way. Can you please stop looking at me and focus on the road?"
Shao Chengzhang held her hand and turned his head back: "I'm not driving today, I just want to see you." Then he pinched her hand again and interlocked their fingers.
He acts like a scoundrel when he drinks, so Chen Zhuo gave up arguing with him and let him watch all the way home.

After taking a shower, Shao Chengzhang went straight to the bed, hugged Chen Zhuo around the waist, and rested his head on her belly. His nose was filled with the milky white tea scent of Chen Zhuo's body and the floral scent of laundry detergent.
He nudged her body hard like a big dog, and his whole face seemed to be imprinted on her body. Shen Zhuo felt itchy from his nudging, and patted his back to tell him to stop.
Shao Chengzhang thought of what happened during the day, raised his head, rubbed his forehead against the little tip, and said, "Let me see what's going on." Before Shen Zhuo could say anything, he had already raised his hand to unbutton his shirt.
Shen Zhuo smiled and asked, "Are you a doctor? Just take a look?"
"Yes, I am." Shao Chengzhang blinked and said very calmly.
Shen Zhuo straightened his body and lowered his head to meet his gaze: "Then please ask Doctor Shao to help me take a look."
"Okay." She hadn't worn anything underneath after taking a shower, so he saw it when she unbuttoned it. The blood spot was dark red. He pressed on it and poked it, pretending to ask, "How did it get like this?"
Shen Zhuo suppressed his laughter, thought for a moment and said, “Well… my husband beat me.”
Shao Chengzhang's Adam's apple rolled: "Then I'll rub it for you, okay?"
"Okay." Shen Zhuo said.
Shao Chengzhang kneaded and pressed her in a serious manner, while asking her, "Does it hurt?"
Shen Zhuo shook his head one by one: "It doesn't hurt."
"How about this?" He simply covered it and wrapped one side.
"Hmm... This feels better." His lower back began to feel numb again, and Shen Zhuo took two quick breaths. "Doctor, am I seriously injured?"
"It's not serious. I'll massage it for you every day and it will be fine."
"How long do I have to massage it every day? My husband... ahem... doesn't let me come out often."
"There's a faster way, do you want to try it?"
"What?"
Shao Chengzhang propped himself up with his hands and laid his whole body on her, with his big hands on her waist and back. He stretched out his tongue and rolled it, then covered it with his mouth.
Chen Zhuo closed his eyes, his nostrils flared, and he exhaled an unstable breath through his slightly open lips.
One course of treatment ends and another begins.
Shen Zhuo wanted to push his face away: "No, doctor... well... I need to go home. My husband will get suspicious if I'm out for too long."
Shao Chengzhang held it in his mouth, raised his eyes and asked her incoherently: "Can your husband make you so comfortable? Hmm?"
"No...I don't know..."
"I don't know?" Shao Chengzhang opened his mouth, propped himself up, and looked at her with raised eyebrows. "You'll know in a moment."
Immediately, Shen Zhuo was completely defeated and collapsed into a puddle, but Shao Chengzhang was still in the act.
"Who is better, the doctor or my husband?"
Shen Zhuo used up his last bit of consciousness and trembled as he said, "Doctor..."
Shao Chengzhang hit him hard, and Shen Zhuo, who was whimpering, changed his words again: "My husband is so powerful..."
"Who is it?" Shao Chengzhang explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, so quickly that Shen Zhuo had no time to think.
Amidst a series of interrupted whimpers, Shen Zhuo finally called out Shao Chengzhang's name in a broken voice.

The messages she sent to the artists only received a few replies, all of which politely stated that they were not considering signing with a company for the time being, and some even suggested that Chen Zhuo work for the artists. Although Chen Zhuo wasn't that optimistic, she only then realized that she had overestimated herself.
She used to work with Sister Hua, but after she left, she leaned on Jingxi. Both Sister Hua and Jingxi were drawn to her resources. Now, she's striking out on her own. To be frank, even if she once won Best Actor and Best Actress, it was only because of her ability to choose the right projects.
This is based on the premise that she has the choice, but now she has no artists. Whether it is the platform or the producer, who will give her projects for her to choose from?
Shen Zhuo spent two days accepting this cruel result, and then found himself confused.
What would she do if she couldn't sign an actor? And what would she do with the high monthly loan payments?
Shao Chengzhang clearly felt that Chen Zhuo was in a very low mood these days, and he could probably guess something.
He was still brooding over Shen Zhuo's loan, so he finally found a time to pull Shen Zhuo aside and said he wanted to settle the score with her. In fact, what he wanted to express was very simple, that is, Shen Zhuo used his money.
The interest rate on bank loans is not low at all. Chen Zhuo has to pay both the mortgage and the loan every month. These alone cost more than 30,000 yuan a month, not to mention the pressure of studio rent and other expenses.
The extra 200,000 yuan that Ms. Chi gave her would not last her long.
"So?" Shen Zhuo asked.
"So the loan should be repaid, and I'll give you the money." Shao Chengzhang hugged Chen Zhuo and let her sit on his lap.
She knew it herself, but she just couldn't use Shao Chengzhang's money to start a business directly. However, she was anxious because she had no income at the moment.
Shen Zhuo thought for a while and said, "I don't want your money, but I can lend it to you. Please give me a lower interest rate."
Shao Chengzhang said: "I am not short of money, and I can pay the interest in other ways."
Shen Zhuo glanced at him helplessly, and she asked again: "Aren't you afraid that if my business fails, all your money will be wasted?"
"Starting a business means both losses and gains. If you lose, we won't lose anything, but you'll gain entrepreneurial experience. If you make a profit, it means you made the right decision to quit your job and start over. No matter how you look at it, this money isn't wasted."
"Okay, I'm convinced." Chen Zhuo held his face and looked into his eyes. "Actually, I said I could do it myself, but the reason I dared to resign was because of you. I believe you are my strength, so I dared to challenge Yang Ruize so firmly."
Shao Chengzhang smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm glad to hear you say that. But you resigned because you have confidence and self-recognition, so you're not worried about not being able to find a job after resigning. Besides, you have your own ideas, so starting your own business is only a matter of time."
"Well, that's partly true." Chen Zhuo laughed as he heard him say, "I was clearly expressing my feelings to you seriously, how did it become a commercial boast?"
Shao Chengzhang raised his chin and kissed her forehead, comforting her: "Wife, no matter what happens, I will always be the man behind you."
