UNION OF ENEMIES - Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Translated by CatMeme6

Today Jia Shao is very happy because after returning from Wang Enterprise, the house agent had called to say they had found a place for her.

The apartment is fully furnished, the facilities are perfect and the décor is first-class. The most important feature is that the place is only a ten-minute walk to ‘Golden Sunflower’. The owner had only lived in the apartment for two years and now he is going abroad to study for three years. So he is in a hurry and handed over the place to the house agent to rent out. As a result, Miss Jia had picked up a good deal.

After inspecting the place, Jia Shao expressed her satisfaction and immediately paid up a year’s rent. When she returned to pick up her bags, Fang Qing Kui was busy, so she wrote down her address and stuck it on the table top. Then she packed up her things and hurried away.

In a happy mood, she cleaned up the place while humming a song and pulled out all her things from her bag.

The apartment is very big and it was not any smaller compared to Zhen Lang’s apartment. The place is big enough for her to move around, especially the big bed in the room. When she looked at the bed, she had an urge to jump on the bed and roll on it.

She never had any high demands for food and abode. Her only dream is to have a big bed so that she will not fall off the bed in the middle of the night due to her bad sleeping habit. Last time, the place she rented was quite small which put a stop to her hopes but now it can be regarded as a dream come true.

Later she planned to go shopping in the supermarket to buy a carton of beer to fill her refrigerator and a whole lot of snacks. The thought made her eyes curved into little crescent moons with glee.

She was sweating and her body felt sticky which made her very uncomfortable. From the bag, she quickly pulled out a shirt and rushed into the bathroom to take a refreshing shower.

While happily washing in the shower, she could faintly hear the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Probably Fang Qing Kui had seen the address and came to pay her a visit.

The dripping wet Jia Shao grabbed a towel to dry herself and shouted out a response. “Wait! I’m coming!”

The moment she picked up the shirt at the side, Jia Shao felt something was not right. The quality of the material is superior and it feels very comfortable on touching but there is no lace, no bright buttons. The shirt is not hers!

Shaking out the shirt and as expected, it was clearly a man’s shirt.

How did she manage to sweep up Zhen Lang’s shirt?

When she thought of that name, she felt inexplicably guilty.

The morning’s incident had clearly told her that the matter was totally related to Wang Shao Guan and had nothing to do with Zhen Lang. She had so viciously wrecked his apartment and also pinned his photo on the door……it seems she was in the wrong.

However, she quickly suppressed her guilt and refused to admit it was her mistake. If it was not for the impact of her Jinx, how could she become someone’s target?

It is all his fault!!! She comforted herself with determination.

The doorbell outside the door sounded impatient and Jia Shao hurriedly pulled on the shirt before rushing out in her bare feet.

“Qing Qing……”

The enthusiasm in her voice instantly rose by 8 degrees when she saw the person standing in front of her. “Why are you here?!”

The person was leisurely standing outside the door with his fingers on the door frame and with one leg overlapping the other. The top button of his shirt was undone, his collar was wrinkled and his coat was draped over his arm. He stared at her and his gaze was deep and unfathomable.

“Someone wrecked my home and I came for compensation.” His impatience miraculously disappeared and he smiled when he saw her.

Zhen Lang leaned forward and Jia Shao subconsciously took two steps back. Then he walked in through the door without any hindrance.

“I didn’t!” She raised her head and said an unfounded lie.

Her body under the big shirt looked even slimmer and with her hair still dripping with water droplets, it appeared to weaken her momentum. The water dripped on her shoulders and wet the shirt making it stick to her arm revealing the white skin under the shirt. Due to the warm water vapor, her white cheeks looked pink and tender and her red lips were slightly opened. She stared at him…….raising her guard.

The hem of the shirt just covered her hips and her two bare legs were planted on the ground with a trail of watery footprints behind her.

He smiled with satisfaction and hooked a finger on the shirt. “What about my clothes? Why did you steal my clothes?”

She shrank back. “No……no, I didn’t steal.”

“The evidence is here.” His smile grew bigger and he smoothly closed the door. “I think, between us, there are a lot of scores we have to slowly settle.”

“There…….is none……..” When she spat out the words, she met his mischievous gaze and involuntarily shrank back a little. “You……you have to leave. I…..I’m going out to buy things.”

He took a step forward and Jia Shao retreated without any momentum while she watched as the door closed.

“Where are your slippers?” Although it was already the month of May, standing with her bare feet on the floor was exceptionally piercing to the eye.

When she heard his rather stern voice, she looked towards the side of the sofa and pointed in that direction.

“What is there to be afraid of? There is still one…….” Before she could finish speaking, she found that Zhen Lang had put his foot in her little baby bear slipper.

When she saw his big feet shoved into her small ladies slippers, her face turned dark.

Very naturally, Zhen Lang stretched out his hand and held up his coat in front of her. “Hold this.”

Jia Shao mourned for her own slipper and was absent-minded, totally unaware of her own actions. After she had taken the coat in her arms, she suddenly reflected on what she had done.

Suddenly she felt her body become light and realized Zhen Lang had picked her up horizontally with both his arms.

Hugging his coat in her arms, she asked. “What are you doing?”

“Take you to your slippers.” With two to three steps he had walked over to the sofa. He put her down and picked up the other baby bear slipper. Taking advantage of this break, Jia Shao climbed on the sofa and crawled to a corner while still clutching his coat. Holding the coat in front of her chest, the pupils of her eyes dilated into round circles showing an expression of vigilance.

Holding one of her slippers in his hand, he waved at her. “Come here.”

She shook her head and shrank back further.

With a sweep of his long arm, her ankle was caught in his hand and he dragged her across the sofa. Jia Shao twisted her body and wanted to crawl back to the corner but her clothes had ridden even higher up her body with her movements.

Zhen Lang’s eyes darkened. “If you move anymore, I’ll spank your ass.”

Very naturally, he placed both hands on her hips and the brave Miss Jia suddenly lost her ability to resist as she was dragged over to Young Master Zhen’s side.

He helped her put on her slippers and picked up the towel on the coffee table to put it over her head.

“Have you recovered from your illness?”

“Yes.”

He helped to towel her hair until half-dry before he put down the towel. “Now that you are fine, it’s time to settle scores.”

“I didn’t wreck your apartment.” Ever since he had appeared, Jia Shao who was constantly in a state of high alert and nervousness and she blurted out the words without a thought.

When the words spilled out, she felt like biting off her own tongue. She is the perfect example of the saying ~ ‘telling others she does not have 300 taels of silver’.

(Telling others one does not have 300 taels of silver means to reveal what one intends to hide.)

“Then did you run away?” Zhen Lang countered. “The dishonest person who had a high fever did not even inform anyone and made me go round the city three times looking for her. I had not slept for two days, how will you settle that?”

He didn’t sleep for two days…….

Jia Shao felt a little guilty but her mouth still stubbornly said. “You can’t blame me. The phone fell into the water and it was not working.”

“You wrecked my home when you thought I sold your photo to Wang Enterprise to make fun of you, how will you settle that?” He stared into Jia Shao’s eyes and she shrank back……loss for words.

So he knew everything.

“I even helped you to bring your bag home, searched everywhere for you and you repaid me by using my photo as a target on the wall?” His accusing voice made Jia Shao unable to utter a single word in reply.

“Who told you to be my Jinx?!” She mumbled and was indignant.

Zhen Lang pulled out the cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “I’ll call Jia Ma and tell her you wrecked my house without any reason.”

“That……..” She flew over to him and tugged his arm. She raised her face and flashed a fawning expression. “I’ll pay for the renovation.”

“Where will I stay during this time?” Zhen Lang pinched his chin. “The renovation will take at least 2 months. You don’t expect me to stay in a hotel, do you? I have operations to perform and if I don’t get proper rest…….” n//𝐨.)𝗏-(𝖊)(𝑙..𝐛).I(-n

His voice stopped and his eyes wandered around. “This place seems not bad.”

“No way!” Jia Shao bit her lip indignantly. “Find another place to stay. This is my home.”

Zhen Lang pulled her hands away and lifted up his cell phone. “It’s better that I inform Jia Ma you wrecked my home and made me homeless.”

“Tell her if you want!” Jia Shao snorted.

This is her house and she will never stay with this Jinx again! This time, even if her old lady is to skin her alive, she will still not agree…….even if she dies, she will not agree.

“Ah, I forgot. At the same time, I will inform Jia Ma that you have agreed to get engaged with me.” Zhen Lang suddenly seemed to remember and casually slipped out the words.

Once again, Jia Shao flew into his arms and the powerful force knocked down Zhen Lang. She stretched out her arm to snatch away his cell phone but failed, and she simply pressed down his arm.

In the end, Jia Shao landed on top of Zhen Lang with their bodies glued intimately to each other in an ambiguous posture. Without any restraint, the little lady straddled him, sitting on his lower abdomen while she grabbed his arm trying to snatch his cell phone. “Don’t call!”

Letting her hug his arm, Zheng Lang asked lazily with his eyes closed. “Then, where will I stay?”

“You can stay here! Stay here!” Jia Shao nodded vigorously.

“Poor me……my home has been wrecked.” Zhen Lang let out a long sigh. “If I stay here, I will have to wait on you. It’s better for me to stay alone.”

What does he want? He wanted to stay here and now she had agreed to let him stay, he is not willing?!

“It’s still better that I tell Jia Ma. After all, I’ve never lied to them since I was a child.” His face showed a guilty expression and his tone was full of repentance.

“I will wait on you!” Without a thought, Jia Shao spat out the words and put on a fake smile. “You are living away from home, why should you report everything to the family?”

Zhen Lang’s eyes lighted up. “Will you sweep the floor?”

She nodded.

“Will you do the laundry?”

Her face stiffened and nodded.

“Will you accompany me to the supermarket every day to buy food?”

Her mouth twitched and nodded silently.

“Are you willing to get up earlier every morning and prepare a cup of coffee for me?”

Her face turned pale, thought for a long while and nodded hard.

“Do you agree to sleep on the sofa while I will sleep on the bed?”

Finally, the girl could not help but jump up. “Why should I sleep on the sofa?”

Her bed…….the bed she had coveted for so long. She had planned to lay a flowery bedsheet on the soft bed and roll on it……..

“I’m a doctor and I need a good rest. If you don’t agree, then I have to report to Jia Ma.”

The expressions of agony, struggle, confusion, sorrow, sadness and all kinds of emotions flashed across her face and finally, she still…….nodded.

“But……” Zhen Lang was still a bit hesitant. “I still feel that I have let down the elders.”

“Don’t think! It’s settled!” Jia Shao interrupted his words and grabbed the phone from his hand. “You can stay here. I will sleep on the sofa, I will sweep the floor and I will wash the dishes and do the laundry. Every morning, I will prepare coffee and at night, I will accompany you to the market to buy food.”

“Alright.” Zhen Lang nodded reluctantly and massaged his tired eyes. “I will take a nap now. Later we’ll go and buy food.”

After getting the answer she wanted to hear, Jia Shao nodded happily and did not notice the person that was pinned under her body had a slight smile on his lips.
