Because I Cannot Hurt You - Chapter 529 The secret

“Y-you! This is illegal! You have to compensate!”

Jack smiled that sent shivers down his spine. “Sure, I will compensate. How about by punching you in the face?”

He froze.

“I am sorry, but my compensation method works differently~ You should understand who you messed up with.”

His bluish-grey eyes felt like a storm about to arrive on a dark and cloudy day.

“You dare click pictures of the woman I love. Naturally, you will have to pay. And I don’t just mean by smashing your phone. How about sending you to the hospital? And good news~ I will be the doctor in charge of treating you. Isn’t that amazing?”

He broke into more cold sweat.

Jack grabbed him by his collar and was about to punch him on his face when he furiously broke into an apology. “I am sorry! I won’t do this again! Please don’t hit me!”

He narrowed his eyes. “Hm? I cannot let you go. If I did, then you would do the same thing at some other place, right?”

“N-No! I won’t click pictures ever again!” He sobbed.

“Are you sure?” Jack gave an evil smile. “Because I have ways of watching over you. I will get regular reports about you. If I find that you are up to no good, then you know what I can do, right? The ones on New York streets couldn’t get out of the hospital for six whole months.”

He shuddered and paled. “I promise! I won’t do this ever again…” he was on the verge of tears, “D-don’t hit me…”

Jack sneered and shook him away with a harsh push. “Fuck off.”

The man scrambled on his feet and ran for his life.

Jack raised his brow as he saw the smashed phone on the floor. He picked it up and threw it in the trash. Dusting off his hands, he turned to walk away but stopped upon seeing Shuang staring at him back with interest.

He coughed. “Yo, Shuang. Why are you outside?”

“Well, I thought you wanted to go to the washroom but seeing you head outside made me wonder that you are going in the wrong direction,” she folded her arms and cocked her brow, “So, I followed you.”

“How much did you watch?”

“Right from you grabbing that pervert out of the club.”

So pretty much everything, Jack thought.

He shrugged.

She curiously smiled and leaned towards him. “So is this Mr. Jack Si’s little secret?”

Jack tilted his head. “What little secret?”

“Hm, everybody has one, right? A little secret of their own. In your case, is it that the respectable and life-saving doctor was actually a delinquent in his younger days. Not that it matters right now, but it’s interesting~”

A smile formed on his lips. He took two steps forward, wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in his embrace.

She blinked twice.

He bent to her level and whispered, “So is Miss An curious to know more about me? I feel honored. It would mean that you are interested in me, isn’t it?”

She narrowed her eyes. “Is this how you cornered those mean adults back in New York.”

Jack pushed her to the wall with his body and trapped her within him as his eyes twinkled. “I pretty much cornered them, yes. But that cornering was lethal to them which would break a few bones here and there~ For you…” he lifted the top of her chin and hovered his lips over hers, keeping half an inch distance between them, “naturally, cornering you would mean that I want to do naughty things with you.”

At the back of her throat, Shuang felt an itch, his breaths softly fanning her face and fluttering her hair in front of her cheeks. Her heart was thumping and thudding faster in her chest.

It was a side she hadn’t expected to see in him. He always gave off a vibe of a responsible and wise doctor and a man. He was someone with whom you could instantly feel comfortable to hang around. His aura was casual and fun loving.

But watching the delinquent side of his taking over him tonight took her by shock.

Delinquent…

She imagined what Jack would have looked like in his teenage days.

A young boy with lots of tattoos on his skin? Or a young man riding on his bike and spreading terror in New York streets as he passed by?

She couldn’t help but chuckle.

Jack pouted his lips. “Why are you laughing? I am serious about doing naughty things with you,” he sighed, “Should I prove it to you…”

Shuang laughed and said, “Idiot. I was just wondering what you looked like in your younger days? Like a delinquent?”

He shrugged. “Pretty much normal.”

“Na. I want to know how you reigned terror. It’s so…Seriously, I never guessed you would be a delinquent. You behave so differently now.”

“Is it good different or bad different?” He grinned.

“Of course good different.”

“Even though you saw me threatening the man just now?”

Shuang brightened. “That was awesome different! Tsk. You let him go without beating him up. That pervert deserved one punch. I would have beaten him into a pulp.”

Jack laughed and pinched her nose. “That would have been interesting indeed.”

Shuang then asked, “By the way, does Xiaosi know about this? You two are best friends, after all.”

He hummed. “Yup. I did tell him about my glorious past, the way we share secrets between buddies. Though that’s as far as he knows.”

She blinked. “As far as meaning? Is there something else?”

His eyes twinkled. “Well, there was but it doesn’t matter anymore~”

“What?”

Jack narrowed his eyes. “If you are curious, then I can tell you. But how about you kiss me first? Then all my secrets are yours~”
