Chapter 173: Chapter 114: Sun Miao Goes All Out! Something Taboo?! (Subscribe Please!)_2

"Over there," Sun Miao pointed.

Following that, Gao Jun entered the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and looked inside.

Before long, he took out a cold egg.

"Applying ice reduces swelling. There’s no ice in the fridge, so I’ll use a cold egg to ice it for now," said Gao Jun as he approached Sun Miao with the egg and gently applied it to her face.

When the egg first touched Sun Miao’s face, she even hissed in pain with a soft whimper: "Sss..."

"Does it hurt?" Gao Jun asked.

Sun Miao nodded.

"Then I’ll be gentler," he said.

Looking at Sun Miao in this state, Gao Jun ventured, "Don’t you plan to leave him? Domestic abuse happens either once or countless times. With your qualities, you could find someone better."

Listening to his words, Sun Miao hesitated for a couple of seconds.

But in the end, she said, "Even if I did leave, I wouldn’t find someone I like. Who would want a thirty-something, twice-married woman?"

"Miao, you’re exaggerating. You’re so beautiful, as long as you don’t demand too much financially from a partner, I think there would be a line of people wanting to date you that could stretch from here to the community’s entrance," praised Gao Jun.

"You’re the one who’s exaggerating," Sun Miao laughed.

But she couldn’t deny that Gao Jun’s compliment lightened her mood somewhat.

"Feeling better now?"

"Yeah, my face doesn’t feel as burning hot," she replied.

"Good, I’ll keep icing it for a while longer," as Gao Jun said that, he gently moved closer to the swollen cheek of Sun Miao, carefully rolling the egg back and forth.

During the icing process, his hand inadvertently touched Sun Miao’s cheek.

That soft and tender sensation felt like touching the morning dew, fresh and delicate.

Sun Miao also felt the touch of Gao Jun’s fingers, stirring an inexplicable wave in her heart.

She turned her head slightly, and a faint blush spread across her cheek.

Yet, she stole a glance at Gao Jun coyly.

All she saw was his focus on icing her with the egg, his eyes expressing care and tenderness.

Perhaps because they were too close, Sun Miao’s heartbeat involuntarily sped up, as if a small deer was running amok inside.

She tried to calm her emotions.

But she found the blush on her face getting deeper.

However, Sun Miao noticed that Gao Jun didn’t seem to be aware of her expression.

She was secretly relieved; otherwise, she really didn’t know how she would face him.

In reality,

when Gao Jun saw her cheeks were as red as the other side, he realized something.

Then he offered, "I can provide 5 million for Miao, but I have one condition."

Upon hearing this, Sun Miao was somewhat hesitant: "Little Jun, go ahead."

"I want 20% of the shares in your company. What do you think?" Gao Jun proposed.

Sun Miao was surprised: "Are you saying 5 million for 20% of the shares?"

"Yes, I guess your company’s market value is also around 20 million, right?" Gao Jun replied.

Hearing this, Sun Miao hesitated.

This company could be said to be Gu Wenhua’s life’s work.

Though she is currently handling all the company’s affairs, when it comes to shares, Gu Wenhua is the one with the majority stake.

She was not in a position to make such a decision.

Seeing Sun Miao’s hesitation, Gao Jun said, "I’m worried that after this domestic violence incident, Mr. Gu will become less and less patient with you. If Miao decides to break up later and you two are dividing property, I can give these 20% shares back to you. Then you can just pay me back the 5 million."

Sun Miao did not expect Gao Jun to come up with such a proposal.

She was moved for a moment.

The thought of breaking up had long been on her mind.

After all, how could a woman just over thirty tolerate a man who spends his nights fishing and never comes home?

On the surface, Sun Miao might appear as a cool and aloof sister, but in reality, she was more starved for love than anyone else.

She desired love, and craved it.

But no one gave it to her.

No one nourished her.

If she broke up, she could look for someone she liked.

Would she then be happier than she is now?

So Sun Miao said, "I’ll ask him about it. Transferring company shares must be approved by him."

"Okay."

After that, Gao Jun took out his phone and sent Sun Miao a phone number: "When you talk to him, don’t mention that the 5 million came from me. Just say it’s from this Mr. Chen."

Looking at the phone number and the name Chen Haoran, Sun Miao asked curiously, "Who is this..."

"He’s my childhood friend. The funds will come from me, but it will be under his name," Gao Jun answered.

Sun Miao nodded as if she agreed to his suggestion.

Then, Gao Jun removed the egg and gently touched her cheek with the back of his hand: "It seems to have gone down a bit, Miao. Feel it yourself."

At that moment, Sun Miao looked up.

And realized that Gao Jun was cradling her face in his hands.

This perspective, as if from a boyfriend, caused her heart to race.

Even her breathing quickened.

Gao Jun, too, was looking at Sun Miao’s blushing face, and he couldn’t help thinking that a wounded woman sometimes exudes a pitiable charm.

After two seconds of eye contact, Gao Jun felt if he continued looking, things might get complicated.

So he suggested, "Since the egg has been used, should we throw it away?"

Coming back to her senses, Sun Miao replied hesitantly, "No, it’s fine. I’ll crack it and make some egg soup later. Little Jun, would you... like some?"

Her heart was in a complicated place.

She felt her offer was just politeness.

Yet, she wanted Gao Jun to taste the egg soup she would make.

So she was also conflicted about whether to offer the soup to Gao Jun.

Gao Jun then said, "You better rest. I’ll make the egg soup."

With that, he took the egg he’d just used into the kitchen.
