Chapter 1913: Dealing with the “Third Party”

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the beginning, Su Rui stayed here and pretended to be Xia Zhe’s kept woman. Later on, Xia Zhe felt that he did not want to be tied down by such a messy backstory. Even if they did not pretend to be a couple, it would not affect the mission. It was better not to do such unnecessary things.

Furthermore, he had come to realize that Su Rui had developed feelings for him. Su Rui seemed to want an actual relationship with him. In the beginning, Su Rui used the mission as a cover for her intentions, but when he gave her no reason to do so, she started doing things which were beyond the scope of the mission.

Xia Zhe could not expose the fact that he was already married. He could only endure Su Rui’s harassment and try his best not to have any form of interaction with her. When Su Rui realized that, she kept coming to look for him with all kinds of excuses.

They were mission partners, so they had to know each other’s location and whereabouts all the time. In the end, Xia Zhe could not stand Su Rui’s harassment anymore and he allowed her to stay in his house so that she would not call him every day to ask for his exact location.

I see. Then how are you going to deal with this person downstairs? Are you going to let her keep shouting like this? Won’t the neighbors read too much into it when they hear the noise?” Qiao Mei pinched Xia Zhe’s butt and asked with a smile.

Xia Zhe’s house was located in a villa estate. The houses here did not have much private land and were located quite close to one another. Although there was some distance between the houses, the neighbors would have a problem with Su Rui if she screamed outside all night.

“Did 1 not wait upon you well just now? Don’t move around, little girl,” Xia Zhe said in a low voice.

“The third party has already come knocking on our door. Can’t I even ask you for an explanation?” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Zhe aggrievedly.

“Nonsense. What third party? I’m faithful to you and I’m innocent. Don’t slander me casually. You don’t know the things I’ve done in order to protect my innocence!” Xia Zhe said matter-of-factly.

Qiao Mei chuckled. Su Rui was still yelling very loudly downstairs and Qiao Mei was starting to feel a little tired. She gave Xia Zhe a push and said, “Go and deal with that person downstairs. She’s giving me a headache.”

Xia Zhe put on the bathrobe quickly and walked downstairs. When Su Rui saw him, she calmed down. She thought that he came down because he could not bear to let her cry here for the entire night, but she did not expect that he was here to chase her away.

“Miss Su, why are you here asking for me? Are there any urgent matters?” Xia Zhe said unhappily.

“Is that woman with you! Is she upstairs! Fang Chen! How can you treat me this way!” Su Rui wailed like she was in pain.

Xia Zhe looked at Su Rui’s pained expression and felt nothing. He even thought that talking to Su Rui was a waste of time. It was such a rare opportunity for him to be with Qiao Mei, so why should he waste his time on useless people?

“What did I do to you? Miss Su, please don’t say anything that will cause misunderstandings,” Xia Zhe said.

“I’m your woman! You brought another woman back in front of me, and you even… you even slept with her! Where does that leave me! How am I supposed to face others in the future!” Su Rui said in agony.

“Miss Su, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. I’ve never said that you’re my woman. All this while, we’re just ordinary friends. Besides, what has my relationship with her got to do with you?” Xia Zhe asked her.

“If… if you don’t like me, then why don’t you have any other woman all this while!” Su Rui asked.

The four bodyguards were also curious about why Xia Zhe had suddenly brought back a woman tonight. In the past, no matter how beautiful a woman was, Xia Zhe was not interested. Could it be that Xia Zhe suddenly woke up from a stupor today?

“I’m a normal man and I have my needs. Do I need to report to you when I get my needs met? Besides, don’t you know very well why I don’t have any other woman by my side?” Xia Zhe said disdainfully.

Given Xia Zhe’s current status and his looks, there were countless people who would do anything to be with him regardless of the consequences. There were even rich married women who were willing to spend money on Xia Zhe just so that they could get in touch with him more often. There were also many women who waited at the lobby of the company’s office building with business proposals to get his attention..
