The Reluctant Bride Book I Chapter 64.65

Sitting in a tree.

‘Why would I want to marry someone unethical as you?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.

‘Not a problem,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. He stood, and stepped in front of Tan Pan Ting. ‘If you go see my parents, your parents or my grandpa to tell them you don’t want to marry me then I’ll agree to call off the wedding.’

‘You!’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘Don’t think I wouldn’t dare.’

‘If you dare,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. He pointed at the door. ‘You can go and tell them. If you don’t dare then be prepared to marry me on the eighteenth of June.’

‘Gu Jiao Wen!’ Tan Pan Ting said. She pointed a finger at Gu Jiao Wen’s chest. ‘Why do you want to marry me? The truth is you can marry any woman you want. Why are your parents in a rush to marry you off? Is it because you’re impotent?’

‘Have you said enough?’ Gu Jiao Wen said in condescending tone of voice. ‘If you have, you can go.’

‘Are you really impotent?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.

Gu Jiao Wen gripped Tan Pan Ting’s waist, and he kissed her sweet lips. He captured her raised hand that was about to slap him then he pressed their bodies close together. He forced her tongue to play with his tongue when she bit hard, she bit her tongue instead of his tongue. His tongue licked blood off her tongue.

‘Mmm… mmm…’ Tan Pan Ting mumbled.

Tan Pan Ting wanted to tell the pervert to let go of her.

Gu Jiao Wen squeezed Tan Pan Ting’s bottom, and he pulled her closer to him so she could feel the proof against her stomach that he wasn’t impotent.

Gu Jiao Wen tasted salt on Tan Pan Ting’s lips, it was the taste of her tears. His lips released her lips, and he held her waist.

Tan Pan Ting raised her hand, and Gu Jiao Wen captured her hand again.

‘Don’t provoke me,’ Gu Jiao Wen warned.

Gu Jiao Wen’s thumb caressed Tan Pan Ting’s swollen lips, and she understood. She took a step back, turned around and she ran outside to hail a taxi.

Gu Jiao Wen gripped his desk, and he waited until the effect of kissing Tan Pan Ting wore off his stiff body. But remembering her sweet and salty lips made his body stiffer. He didn’t know when his self-control turned so feeble. He walked stiffly to the bathroom, and washed his face to cool off.

Outside the bathroom, Gu Jiao Wen b.u.mped into Shi Tu.

‘Boss, is Miss Tan the same woman from last time?’ Shi Tu asked. He was curious why Tan Pan Ting ran out of Gu Jiao Wen’s office like a ghost was chasing her. ‘Did she look for you because she wanted to get even with you for detaining her?’

‘She’s my fiance,’ Gu Jiao Wen said.

‘Boss, are you joking?’ Shi Tu asked.

‘Does it look like I’m joking?’ Gu Jiao Wen asked.

Gu Jiao Wen didn’t wait for Shi Tu’s reply, he walked stiffly back to his office.

In the taxi, Tan Pan Ting realised in her rush to escape Gu Jiao Wen, she left her bag and phone in his office.

‘Sir, I’m sorry,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘Can you turn the car around, and go to a different address?’

Half an hour later, Tan Pan Ting arrived at Zheng Jia Ju’s home. She borrowed Zheng Jia Ju’s money to pay the taxi driver.

In Zheng Jia Ju’s living room, Zheng Jia Ju couldn’t wait for Tan Pan Ting to confess.

‘Miss Tan Pan Ting, what got you all riled up?’ Zheng Jia Ju asked.

‘Jia Ju, can’t you see I need comfort from you instead of an interrogation?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.

‘Let me guess,’ Zheng Jia Ju said. ‘Did Mr Gu Jiao Wen kiss you?’

‘How did you know?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.

‘Why else would your lips be swollen?’ Zheng Jia Ju asked.

Tan Pan Ting touched her swollen lips, and she cursed the pervert.

‘Is he a good kisser?’ Zheng Jia Ju asked. ‘Is that why you’re angry?’

‘Do I look like I wanted him to kiss me?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.

‘Or are you angry because he kissed you senseless and you cooked rice with him?’ Zheng Jia Ju asked.

‘Whatever,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘I wouldn’t cook rice with a pervert like him.’

Zheng Jia Ju saw Tan Pan Ting’s caller ID on her phone, and she smiled at Tan Pan Ting.

Tan Pan Ting answered Zheng Jia Ju’s phone.

‘Gu Jiao Wen, what do you want?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.

‘Your parents called you,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘They want you home to eat dinner.’

‘Why did you answer my phone?’ Tan Pan Ting asked. ‘Did you say any nonsense to my parents?’

‘Where are you?’ Gu Jiao Wen asked. ‘I’ll come pick you up.’

‘Who needs you to pick me up?’ Tan Pan Ting asked. ‘Just drop off my bag and phone at my parents’ home.’

‘Your parents invited me over to eat dinner,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘I accepted their invitation.’

‘What?’ Tan Pan Ting asked. ‘Who gave you permission to accept my parents’ invitation? Who wants to eat dinner with you? You’re not allowed to eat dinner at my parents’ home.’

Gu Jiao Wen hung up.

‘Ah, the pervert!’ Tan Pan Ting said.

‘What did he do to provoke you this time?’ Zheng Jia Ju asked.

Zheng Jia Ju thought Gu Jiao Wen must be someone special to Tan Pan Ting if he could make Tan Pan Ting’s temper surface easily.

Tan Pan Ting held Zheng Jia Ju’s hands, and she looked pitifully at Zheng Jia Ju.

‘Jia Ju, the cop pervert wants to eat dinner at my parents’ home,’ Tan Pan Ting said.

‘Then go home and eat dinner,’ Zheng Jia Ju said. ‘He’s entering your territory. There is nothing for you to fear.’
