Chapter 9: There’s Nothing You Can’t Get by Acting Coquettishly. If There’s Anything, It’s That You Haven’t Had

“Come on, I just ate and I really want to sleep now.”

Seeing Ji Jinxian suddenly appear, Shen Wanwan lay on the sofa, unwilling to move. After eating and drinking her fill, all she wanted to do was be a lazy bum.

“Get up, don’t make me say it a third time.”

Ji Jinxian’s expression was serious. He did not fall for Shen Wanwan’s coquettishness at all. He was adamant and wanted Shen Wanwan to get up from the sofa.

“I don’t want to. Unless…”

Shen Wanwan’s big, bright eyes swiveled as she looked at Ji Jinxian. He instantly felt something was wrong.

However, before he could think of anything else, Shen Wanwan, who was lying on the sofa, reached out her hand to him and blinked her bright eyes.

“Unless you carry me up, I’ll just lie here.”

Shen Wanwan spoke and extended her hands to Ji Jinxian, hoping that he would pick her up. As she looked like a lazy bum lying there, Ji Jinxian took a deep breath.

Eventually, he bent down and carried her in a princess carry. Then, he turned around and went up to the second floor.

Shen Wanwan, who had not expected Ji Jinxian to really carry her, was stunned. When she was carried, she subconsciously reached out to wrap her arms around Ji Jinxian’s neck to avoid falling.

“Hubby, where are you taking me?” Shen Wanwan asked curiously, not understanding where Ji Jinxian was carrying her.

However, before Shen Wanwan could figure it out, Ji Jinxian had already brought her to the place he wanted to go. He carried Shen Wanwan and pushed the door open.

He carried her inside and set her down on a soft mat in the gym, then stood up and looked down at Shen Wanwan.

“You just finished eating, and I think you should exercise,” he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Jinxian turned to leave, but he was stopped in his tracks when Shen Wanwan grabbed his thigh.

“Hubby, why don’t you stay and exercise with me?”

Shen Wanwan looked up and smiled at Ji Jinxian. At that moment, their eyes met, and Ji Jinxian’s familiar voice echoed in the quiet gym.

[Why is this spoiled girl so clingy?]

[Forget it. I’ll just exercise with her. Otherwise, this spoiled girl will lie on the mat like a lazy bum when I’m not around.]

[Yes, I stayed here because I was afraid that this spoiled girl would lie on the mat like a lazy bum. It’s not because I want to exercise with her.]

After mentally psyching himself up, Ji Jinxian pretended to be aloof and agreed to Shen Wanwan’s request.

“Fine.”

“Hubby, you’re so sweet!”

Shen Wanwan praised with a bright smile. At this moment, she was completely unaware of the impending danger. Ji Jinxian unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, rolled them up to his arms, and crouched down.

He picked up Shen Wanwan, who was lying on the cushion like a lazy bum, and carried her towards the treadmill.

Although Ji Jinxian rarely exercised in the gym, but most of the equipment was complete.

The gym could be considered small, and before Shen Wanwan realized it, she was already in the jogging area.

“After dinner, jog for 20 minutes,” Ji Jinxian said as he stood on another treadmill, adjusting his time and speed to run alongside her.

“Don’t be in a daze, run faster.”

Ji Jinxian’s cool voice snapped Shen Wanwan back to reality. She glanced at him running on the treadmill and sighed.

She could not help but complain that Ji Jinxian was too straight and lacked empathy for others.

However, despite her complaints, she still adjusted her speed and started jogging. For a moment, the gym fell into silence.

The two of them ran at their respective speeds until the set time stopped. Then, they gradually slowed down.

After finishing their run, it was just eight o’clock. Shen Wanwan hurriedly urged Ji Jinxian to go to the study room to settle his work while she returned to her room. After washing up, she lay on the bed and surfed the Internet.

After two days of being unemployed, Shen Wanwan felt extremely comfortable. However, she would be forced to return to work the next day.

Thinking about the crazy shopping she had been doing for the past two days, Shen Wanwan had the urge to skip work.

As Shen Wanwan thought about her dwindling bank account balance, she could only work hard and take on more jobs.

After browsing through a shopping platform, Shen Wanwan lost interest in her phone. Coincidentally, she was thirsty, so she got up and went downstairs to get some water.

She walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Looking at the variety of drinks in the fridge, Shen Wanwan left her indecisive.

What should she drink?

Having too many drinks at home wasn’t a good thing, especially for those who had difficulty making choices.

In the end, Shen Wanwan closed her eyes and randomly picked a drink. She closed the refrigerator and looked at the empty kitchen. She recalled the CEO who was working seriously upstairs.

Eventually, Shen Wanwan still had a conscience and cut a plate of fruit for the CEO and brought it up to his study room. Cutting fruit was a simple task for Shen Wanwan.

She arranged the dish casually without making it look messy. She took her drinks and fruits, walked to the door of the study room, and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” said Ji Jinxian.

Shen Wanwan pushed the door open and entered. She carried the fruits and walked quickly to Ji Jinxian, who was sitting behind his desk. He placed the fruits on the table. Then she reached out to give him a shoulder massage.

As the saying goes, “Don’t be angry with the person who is smiling.” Other than feeling a little uncomfortable, Ji Jinxian did not say anything about Shen Wanwan’s solicitous attitude.

“Hubby, you’ve worked so hard. Please eat more fruits and relax.”

Shen Wanwan was very attentive as she massaged Ji Jinxian’s shoulders, and her smile was as ingratiating as could be.

“She came to him, presumably to ask for his help. So, what’s up?”

Ji Jinxian knew that when Shen Wanwan came over to deliver fruit, she had some ulterior motive.

“Hehe, hubby, I want to discuss something with you.”

Shen Wanwan giggled when she was found out, but she wasn’t embarrassed. She kept massaging Ji Jinxian’s shoulders while she spoke.

“If you have something want to discuss with me, just say it.”

“Then I’ll say it!”

Seeing that Ji Jinxian was so easy to talk to, Shen Wanwan became bolder. She stopped massaging his shoulders and moved closer to Ji Jinxian.

“Hubby, you have to go to work tomorrow. So why don’t you give me a ride? I want to go to Jincheng Entertainment, which is on the same street as your company.”

Shen Wanwan was planning to take a taxi, but she thought that it would be a waste not to hitch a ride. Perhaps it would increase their relationship during the ride.

“I have to go to work early tomorrow morning,” Ji Jinxian said, declining her request. But Shen Wanwan didn’t let him refuse her so easily.

She was a little spoiled girl who couldn’t even stand the CEO. How could she not be able to handle this chatterbox?

“Hubby, it’s okay. I can wake up earlier,” Shen Wanwan pleaded.

Ji Jinxian was speechless.

He released the mouse and stared expressionlessly at the computer screen in front of him. However, his inner thoughts betrayed him.

[Hmph, is this how a little coquette begs for help? Why did she stop massaging my shoulders?]

[I didn’t expect the little coquettish to be soft everywhere, even her little hands.]

Hearing this, Shen Wanwan quickly began massaging Ji Jinxian’s shoulders and coquettishly pleaded with him.

“Hubby, please say yes!”

“Okay,” Ji Jinxian finally gave the response she wanted.

In the end, Shen Wanwan’s persistence won, and Ji Jinxian agreed to give her a ride to work.
