The CEO's Woman

Chapter 38 Be

Jiang Yue could feel herself coming out from her slumber. Her eyelids slowly opened. Her vision is a bit blurred. She waited for her eyes to focus and the first thing that she noticed is the large man sprawled in a large gray chair.

She looked at the person slouching while sleeping beside her. Jiang Yue was taken aback when she saw it was Fu Jin. His tall sleeping frame could barely fit the swivel chair. She even wondered how long the chair will last.

Jiang Yue was about to wake him up when she discovered the piece of clothing wrapped around her shoulders. She gripped it and notices that it is made of expensive wool. She thought it might belong to Fu Jin.

The thought of Fu Jin taking care of her somehow made her gaze softer. Fu Jin must have seen her sleeping. Speaking of which, she hasn’t been sleeping much lately.

She let out a long sigh then she studied him as he slept. His hair was splayed, full lips slightly parted. Somehow she wondered about the taste of those pink full lips. Then she shivered. Did she just think about kissing him? She shook the lewd thoughts in her mind as she continues staring at his face.

Fu Jin is undoubtedly handsome. Even more handsome than most western men that she saw abroad. What held her attention the most is his beautifully crafted eyelashes.

Long, thick and dark. Curled perfectly as if someone made them just for him.

She could not have used any mascara, right?

Feeling curious about her assumptions, she moved her face towards his. How can a man have such beautiful eyelashes?

Then his eyes suddenly opened, startling her. His black orbs stared back at her gray ones.

Now that their faces are inches apart, she couldn’t help but notice the gray streaks in his black eyes. So beautiful. So perfect.

Her breath hitched as her eyes traveled through his lips. She tried to concentrate, but her heart was beating so loudly.

"You know," Fu Jin said his voice almost a whisper."I badly want to kiss you. But If I start kissing you now, I don’t think I can bring myself to stop."

Jiang Yue looked at Fu Jin again. This time she was able to see the solemn emotions swimming in his eyes. She can see lust and desire, yet it was overcome with gentleness and somehow, she can see longing?

Jiang Yue looked away and awkwardly give him his jacket back without saying anything. Fu Jin’s satement could have made any other woman blushed, but Jiang Yue is already an experienced aunt ah. A simple teasing will not affect her.

Fu Jin accepted his jacket and give her a smile.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Yue asked him trying to avoid his gaze.

"I should be the one asking you that. Tomorrow is the National Exams. Why are you here trying to do everything by yourself?"He asked, his tone full of concern and gentleness."You...You could have asked me to help you." Fu Jin continued.

Jiang Yue leaned back and closed her eyes. She had been so busy these past few days that she had forgotten about the exams tomorrow.

Sensing her exhausted look Fu Jin gets up" Come, I’ll take you home. "

...

The drive home is wrapped in silence.

Fu Jin insisted to drive her home and have Wang Bolin drive Shen Rong.

Jiang Yue felt helpless and reluctantly agreed. She was too tired to argue.

When they arrived at the Wang estate, Jiang Yue immediately get herself out of the car. However, when she was about to walk towards the gate of the Mansion, Fu Jin called her.

"Here, take this." He said as he gives her a white gold necklace with a magpie shaped jade pendant.

"This is?" Jiang Yue asked.

"It’s for happiness. It’s my grandmother’s. My mother gave it to me when I turned 18. I would like you to have it."He answered.

"Fu Jin. I... This is too precious. I can’t accept this."She directly refused. Looking at the quality of the Jade, Jiang Yue knew that this is not some ordinary piece of jewelry. That- and this is an ancestral necklace passed down to his family. What could be Fu Jin’s intention in giving her a necklace as precious as this?

"My mother said..." Fu Jin reluctantly mumbled "that I should give it to someone I truly love, and that’s you. " What Fu Jin failed to mention is that this is one of the Fu Family ancestral necklaces that should be given to the future wife of the future head.

This comes with another white gold necklace with a magpie pendant. These two can be connected, and it will perfectly fit into one circular pendant. Of course, the second necklace is with Fu Jin. The future head of the Fu Family.

"Fu Jin, I can’t accept this. I’m sorry.’ Jiang Yue said. Her voice firm. She is still conflicted about Fu Jin’s feelings. You can’t just love someone because you always dreamed of them, can you?

"Can you at least give me a chance?’ He asked."You know... to prove that I like you?"

Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow as she looked at him. She honestly does not have time for any relationships for now. However, it is also not wrong to give it a try right?

After all, she really was not able to experience any true relationships from her previous life. But, she is still not clear of Fu Jin’s motives.

"How about we make a bet?" Fu Jin said. After sensing her reluctance.

"What bet?"

"I know you’re smart. So if I scored higher than you in tomorrows exam then... then we can be together. As lovers. Then I can prove to you that my intentions are pure. If you sense that I am insincere then you can always leave. "

"So you’re saying I will become your girlfriend then you will prove that you like me? Isn’t that the other around?"She scoffed. This guy is a little tricky ah. He wanted her to be his girlfriend first before showing how much he liked her.

"No, That’s what I want if I win the bet." He declared.

"And if I win?" Jiang Yue asked. She is confident that she will score higher than him.

In her previous lifetime, she heard that the Young Master of the Fu family is home schooled. He might be smart, but she knows she is smarter than him. After all, she not just any other woman. She already reincarnated and experienced a lot of things from her previous life.

"Then I will show you that I like you before you end up as my girlfriend."

Jiang Yue burst into laughter. This guy... she will still end up his girlfriend in both ways. Oh, how amusing!

"Do you dare to take this bet with me?" Fu Jin challenged while ignoring Jiang Yue’s giggles.

She tried to suppress her laughter as she stared back at the young man with a serious face in front of him. In all aspect, Fu Jin is a perfect man. If she became her girlfriend then it’s not her loss at all.

"Alright." She answered. Amusement is still apparent in her eyes.

"Really?" Fu Jin suddenly changed his serious expression into a very happy one. This change startled Jiang Yue.

"Yes."

"Okay, this necklace will serve as the token of this bet. If I lose, I will take it back no questions asked. If I win you keep it with you. For now, you need to wear this."Fu Jin said while tucking her hair so he could put on the necklace on her. Fu Jin immediately locked the necklace into her neck and give her a dazzling smile.

"..." Why does she feel like Fu Jin just tricked her?

"Alright, I’ll see you after the exams." He said, then turn his way towards his car. Leaving a speechless Jiang Yue standing at the gate of the mansion.
