51 That's Not Fair

Hearing her question, Wang Yong didn't panic nor did he get flustered.

\" Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question now. \" Wang Yong mysteriously smiled.

\" What? \" Zhi Ruo was clearly pissed.

It took her so much effort to ask such an embarrassing question and in the end, he didn't even want to answer her.

\" That's not fair... \" Zhi Ruo sulked, \" Does time affect your response or what? \"

\" No. \" Wang Yong calmly replied.

\" Then why can't you answer it now? \" Zhi Ruo frowned.

\" Because it will affect your reaction. \" Wang Yong smirked as he pulled out another dessert from the box and took a spare spoon to dig into it.

Zhi Ruo was fuming, ' What the hell does that mean? Can't he just answer? That sly big boss...pretending to be mysterious and all...but wait! Does that mean that maybe the answer isn't no and that he actually likes me?! '

Seeing her confused eyes, Wang Yong chuckled and brought the spoon of crème brulée near her mouth, \" Don't be mad, eat your sweets, it will help you become happier. \"

Zhi Ruo opened her mouth by instinct and tasted the sweet dessert.

Wang Yong continued to feed her a few spoons before Zhi Ruo was finally done with her monologue and realized that she was like a little pet getting fed by her owner, \" What are you doing?! \"

Zhi Ruo swiftly evaded the spoon and glared at the laidback big boss, ' Isn't this big boss changing too fast?! Why do I feel like he is treating me like a pet? '

\" Feeding you. \" Wang Yong replied with an innocent voice like he did nothing wrong.

\" I can eat by myself. \" Zhi Ruo declared.

\" I know but you were deep in thought so I helped you. \" Wang Yong grinned happily at the grumpy cat.

' Sigh... my little princess is trying too hard to act cold when she is obviously so cute when she is childish and spoiled... '

\" Xiao Yong, I finished your food, I quickly made a bowl of stir-fried rice with a healthy salad on the other side. \" the chef walked near them and placed the plate in front of Wang Yong.

\" Thank you. \" Wang Yong amiably smiled and set down the spoon he used to feed Zhi Ruo.

The chef happily left remembering that he had won the bet and quickly left to brag about his win to his other coworkers.

\" I won't be able to help you eat. \" Wang Yong handed her the spoon.

\" I don't need you to. \" Zhi Ruo gave him a glance before grasping the spoon and eating her sweet.

Wang Yong laughed at her cute behaviour and stopped teasing her.

...

At night, after everyone ate together, they all sat down in the living room to watch some tv together.

After what happened with Zhi Ruo, Hui Yin thought that it would be better if, at night on the weekends, none of them worked and spent some quality time together.

\" What should we watch? \" Zhi Ruo flipped through the channels while hugging one of her bears.

\" Maybe we should watch a movie? \" Zhi Chao proposed.

Hui Yin, Zhi Duyi and Zhi Chao sat together on the central main couch while Wang Yong and Zhi Ruo sat on the side one with snacks on the sofa.

\" Sure. \" everyone agreed and so the conclusion was that they watched the Oscar-winning movie ' Parasite ' which was highly recommended.

Zhi Ruo covered her exposed long legs with her blanket while one hand was holding her bear and the other searching in the popcorn bag.

Zhi Ruo was completely absorbed by the movie and didn't notice Wang Yong moving closer to her.

The funny movie unexpectedly took a scary turn and Zhi Ruo closely-held her bear, ' Damn it, that's the reason I only read romance novels...I can't handle thrillers or horrors... '

Towards the end, a massacre began and Zhi Ruo was completely in utter shock and in a state a fear.

' Damn! Did the dude on the floor just convulsed?! ' Zhi Ruo gasped.

Like a totally naughty kid taking advantage of the girl he liked, Wang Yong found her little tense hand under the blanket and intertwined their fingers.

Zhi Ruo glanced at Wang Yong.

\" Like this, I will be less scared. \" Wang Yong smoothly lied.

\" Okay... \" Zhi Ruo answered like she was doing him a favour but it made her feel better to hold someone's hand.

' Wow...surprisingly the big boss can't deal with thrillers too huh... '

Right at the moment of climax, the doorbell rang.

The Zhi family was extremely shocked, it was already 10:30, who would come so late?

By then, the maids and butlers already left for their sleeping quarters so there was nobody to open the door.

\" I'll go open the door. \" Wang Yong proposed and stood up, his hand letting go of Zhi Ruo's one.

However, Zhi Ruo tightly held onto his and said, \" I'll go with you. \"

Wang Yong didn't say anything and just smiled. They headed to the door.

' It's just a door, do they both have to go while holding hands...? ' the rest of the Zhi family thought.

Wang Yong opened the door and at the same time, both Zhi Ruo and him frowned.

' Li Wei... '

Looking at the guest, Zhi Ruo was in disbelief, ' This dude really thinks he lives here huh? Why the hell is he always at our house?! Go away you annoying ice cube! '

\" Zhi Ruo. \" Li Wei exclaimed as soon as the door opened.

He promptly stepped in and hugged her, \" Are you okay? I thought you fainted. \"

Being suddenly hugged by the ice cube, Zhi Ruo felt extremely weirded out, ' What the hell is happening?! Stay in your character setting you damn ice cub! '

\" Let me go! What are you doing?! Who do you think you are?! \" Zhi Ruo furiously said.

Wang Yong was also momentarily shocked and he instantly regretted it. Regaining his senses, he pulled away Li Wei and frowned, \" She said to let go. \"
