Union Of Enemies Chapter 45

A group of guards escorted Zhen Lang and Gu Jing home.

‘Gentlemen you can guard downstairs. If you stay on this floor then you’ll scare my neighbours,’ Zhen Lang said.

The guards shook their heads.

‘Gentlemen, can I request you to go home?’ Zhen Lang asked.

‘Mr Zhen,’ a guard said. ‘Mr Xie instructed if you’re out of our sight for a second then we’re fired.’

‘I can’t be out of your sight for one second? Then what about me being intimate with my wife? Do you gentlemen want to stand by and watch?’ Zhen Lang asked sarcastically.

The guards were speechless.

‘I’ll talk to uncle Xie. Gentlemen, you can relax,’ Zhen Lang said.

Zhen Lang took out his phone and he called Xie Zhang. Then the guards went to guard outside the building.

Gu Jing sat on the sofa and she propped her ankle cast on the coffee table. ‘Did they leave?’

Zhen Lang laughed helplessly. ‘No. They’re guarding outside.’

‘Downstairs? Perhaps it’s better if they guard outside the door and they’ll only scare our neighbours. If they’re downstairs they’ll scare too many people,’ Gu Jing said.

Zhen Lang looked outside the windows and he saw the guards stood outside the building. ‘We have no other choice. Uncle Xie said if we don’t let them guard us then he’ll tell our family. If our family finds out they’ll send more guards to the city to drag us home.’

‘I don’t want to go back to our parents’ home. We just returned home. I don’t want to go back there!’ Gu Jing said.

‘I don’t want to go back there either,’ Zhen Lang said. He sat next to his wife on the sofa. He saw her torn dress barely covered her body and he smiled. ‘If we go back, there will be many people who’ll intrude on our private time together.’

The moment Gu Jing arrived home she took off Zhen Lang’s jacket and her torn dress exposed her long slender legs.

‘Are you certain uncle Xie won’t tell our family?’ Gu Jing asked.

Gu Jing laid her head on Zhen Lang’s shoulder, but like an electric shock she sat upright on the sofa.

Zhen Lang wrapped his left arm around his wife’s shoulder. ‘My left arm and shoulder are ok.’

Gu Jing couldn’t avoid Zhen Lang’s left arm so she laid her head on his left shoulder.

‘Don’t worry, I asked uncle Xie not to tell our family and I trust he’ll keep his promise,’ Zhen Lang said. He stroked his wife’s hair with his left hand. ‘No one is going to drag you to our parents’ home and imprison you.’

Gu Jing looked at her ankle cast. ‘It’s not much different than the state I’m in now.’

‘I’m here with you,’ Zhen Lang said. He propped his chin on his wife’s head. ‘I promise I won’t let you feel bored, ok?’

Gu Jing lifted her head. ‘Promise?’

‘Promise,’ Zhen Lang said. He kissed his wife’s cheek. ‘No one can separate us.’

‘Do you think I’m useless? In the past I didn’t think I would lose a fight and I didn’t think I would let anyone injure you,’ Gu Jing said.

Gu Jing looked pitifully at Zhen Lang. ‘Since I was a child I promised to protect you and I ate all your lollipops but-’

Zhen Lang laughed. ‘It’s nothing. I’m not going to sue you for not keeping your verbal promise. I’ll buy you as many lollipops as you want.’

Gu Jing scoffed. ‘I don’t want to eat anything sweet.’

Gu Jing realised Zhen Lang’s eyes were staring at her legs. She pulled his shirt collar. ‘Confess, what are you staring at?’

Zhen Lang saw the fury in his wife’s eyes and he laughed. He lifted her chin. ‘Don’t you know how seductive you look?’

‘Seductive?’ Gu Jing asked. She looked at her ankle cast. ‘Are you laughing at me because I can’t walk?’

Gu Jing waved her fists in the air but she didn’t dare to hit Zhen Lang in case she would hurt his right arm.

‘You do look seductive,’ Zhen Lang said.

Zhen Lang’s left hand slid down his wife’s waist and he caressed her thigh under her dress.

Zhen Lang’s hot hand that caressed Gu Jing’s thigh made her feel relaxed and she yawned.

‘Do you want to sleep?’ Zhen Lang asked.

Gu Jing shook her head. ‘I’m not tired.’

Gu Jing wrapped her arms around Zhen Lang’s waist. She realised recently he loved to touch her body.

‘Are you having fun touching my body?’ Gu Jing asked.

‘Um. Your skin is soft and smooth to touch,’ Zhen Lang said.

Zhen Lang’s left hand stopped caressing Gu Jing’s thigh so she moved her body closer to his body. Then his left hand continued to caress her thigh.

Zhen Lang kissed his wife’s cheek. ‘Wife, on our wedding night you kicked me out of bed. Tonight’s our first night home, let’s make it a memorable night.’

‘Um, tonight’s a memorable night,’ Gu Jing said softly.

Gu Jing closed her eyes and Zhen Lang gently kissed her lips. His gentle kisses tickled her lips and she laughed softly.

‘Pay attention,’ Zhen Lang said and he bit his wife’s lips.

Gu Jing bit Zhen Lang’s lips. They nibbled each other’s lips like a bee’s body mingled together with pollen. Her hands moved from his waist to his neck. His left hand under her dress slid from her thigh to her waist. His lips released her lips and he kissed her neck. Her chest pressed against his chest, but she wanted their bodies to be closer.

Suddenly the doorbell rang like a bucket of cold water that extinguished Zhen Lang and Gu Jing’s hot bodies on the sofa.

‘Who is it?’ Zhen Lang asked.

‘Mr Zhen, Mr Xie instructed us to bring midnight meals and nutritious herbal soups for you,’ a guard said.

Zhen Lang gently patted his wife’s cheek. He got off the sofa, he walked to the front door and he opened the front door for the guards.

The guards brought many plates of food into Zhen Lang and Gu Jing’s home. They put the plates of food on the coffee table then they walked downstairs and guarded outside the building.

Zhen Lang closed the front door and he sat on the sofa next to his dazed wife. ‘Are you hungry?’

Zhen Lang heard his wife’s stomach rumbled and he pinched her nose. ‘Hurry up and eat.’

The aromas woke up Gu Jing’s appet.i.te. She grabbed a pair of chopsticks and she picked up a piece of meat. But when she opened her mouth she saw Zhen Lang’s arm cast and she didn’t want to eat.

Zhen Lang’s left hand stroked his wife’s hair and he smiled. ‘Hurry up and eat. Aren’t you really hungry?’

Gu Jing put the piece of meat in front of Zhen Lang’s mouth. ‘Let’s eat together.’

Zhen Lang ate the piece of meat his wife fed him. ‘Aren’t you really hungry? You can eat first.’

Gu Jing shook her head and she fed Zhen Lang rice. ‘I promised I’ll help you with everything. You can’t hold chopsticks with your left hand, let me feed you.’

‘Is this eating together?’ Zhen Lang asked.

Zhen Lang wrapped his left arm around his wife’s waist and he pulled her onto his lap.

Gu Jing held the bowl of rice under Zhen Lang’s chin and she slowly fed him rice with her shaky hand and some of the rice fell on his neck. Then she fed him herbal chicken soup and she smiled sweetly. ‘Eat more of the herbal chicken soup, it’ll help your right arm heal faster.’

‘You should eat the herbal chicken soup too,’ Zhen Lang said.

Gu Jing ate a spoonful of soup then she fed Zhen Lang another spoonful of soup.

‘Ah! I dropped the soup on your neck,’ Gu Jing said.

‘Don’t worry, I’m ok,’ Zhen Lang said.

‘Lucky the soup is warm and not hot,’ Gu Jing said.

Zhen Lang happily ate whatever his wife fed him and he didn’t care about his stained shirt.

Gu Jing let Zhen Lang kiss her and touched her body whilst she fed him.

Gu Jing and Zhen Lang didn’t finish their meals until the sun rose.

Gu Jing laid her head on Zhen Lang’s shoulder and she yawned.

‘Tired? Do you want me to prepare the bathtub?’ Zhen Lang asked.

‘Um,’ Gu Jing said in her dazed stated.

‘Later help me take off my clothes and wash my back,’ Zhen Lang said.

Zhen Lang got off the sofa and he walked toward the bathroom.

Gu Jing realised she had to face a naked Zhen Lang in the bathroom. After she washed his body, she would need to dry his body from top to bottom, left to right and front to back. That meant she would need to rub everywhere on his body. Thoughts about a naked Zhen Lang made her face flushed and her fingers and toes hot.
