Chapter 302: Chapter 302: One Day as Husband and Wife Leads to a Hundred Days of Grace [7 Updates]

"Going at this time? Isn’t that just a warm face to a cold butt?"

Xiao Zheng’s head shook like a rattle-drum as he shrank back a bit, continuing to eat his meal with a creaking sound.

"What kind of bodyguard are you? Look at you, can’t even understand your boss’s psyche?" Chu Xiaoran scolded him with her hands on her hips, reproachfully and cutely angry, as if she was upset that iron wouldn’t turn into steel.

Good grief, since when was I supposed to be a worm in my wife’s stomach, understanding psyches?

Xiao Zheng puckered his lips and offered a wry smile, "Xiao Ran, a bodyguard is just a bodyguard, not a psychologist."

"I don’t care, you have to go check on my cousin. I’m afraid she might do something rash."

"Why don’t you go? Isn’t that perfect, given your deep sisterly bond?"

"Hey, you servant, how dare you talk back! Watch as the Princess beats the crap out of you." Chu Xiaoran got even more fired up, angrily tugging Xiao Zheng’s ear and punching him like raindrops falling, sparing no effort.

Xiao Zheng, annoyed and without any appetite, grabbed her collar and pulled her in front of him, their gazes meeting, and with an evil grin, he chuckled, "Little girl, keep making a fuss and see if I don’t eat you up."

"You...." Chu Xiaoran was terrified, feeling the intense masculine scent, her heartbeat erratic, her face blushing furiously, both humiliated and angry. She tried hard to kick back, trying to break free from his control.

Suddenly, "rip" went the light fabric of her dress at the neckline, revealing her pale, creamy skin glowing with a soft pink.

"Ah! Indecency!" Chu Xiaoran screamed, quickly covering herself, her face as red as an apple, looking extremely adorable.

What the heck did I just see?

She was going commando underneath?

For a moment, Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded, and he hurriedly let go, not just gently, but outright released his grip.

With a "thump,"

Chu Xiaoran landed on the ground, looking dazed for a second before clutching her waist and bursting into tears.

"Waaa, you broke me...."

"Hey... Xiao Ran, don’t cry, let me check you out," Xiao Zheng pulled her up in a hurry, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and gently patting her, trying to comfort her.

Darn it, check her out?

"Er... what are you trying to do?" Chu Xiaoran’s crying stopped abruptly, her hands guarding her chest, moving aside, eyeing him suspiciously.

Xiao Zheng noticed she was walking unsteadily, almost as if she couldn’t stand properly, could it be she damaged her coccyx?

"Girl, where does it hurt? Tell me."

"Everything hurts, especially there," Chu Xiaoran was like a startled kitten, dodging his gaze.

Damn, this girl, what’s with these antics?

She’s usually so mischievous it drives people nuts, but now she’s acting scared, must’ve been quite a fall.

Ignoring her protests, Xiao Zheng pulled her over and pressed down on her lower back, asking, "Does it hurt here?"

"Ouch, get your paws off me!" Chu Xiaoran, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, slapped his hand away, her face flushed and eyes full of fury.

Xiao Zheng figured it couldn’t be too serious; otherwise, she would have been in unbearable pain by now.

"Can you go upstairs?"

"Help me up, but stay away from me," Chu Xiaoran wiped away her tears, still pettishly angry.

Good grief, you want help but also want distance? What kind of rule is that?

Such a princess, always so dramatic.

His confusion was fleeting as Xiao Zheng picked her up and carried her upstairs.

"Don’t move, and don’t make a sound! I’m taking you to your room!"

"Put me down, how dare you take advantage of me!"

And so, amidst playful scuffling, they went upstairs.

Suddenly, Leng Rubing walked out from her study and witnessed this bizarre scene, her gaze turning icy, her thin lips pressed tight.

"What are the two of you doing? Can’t you act properly?"

"Umm..."

Xiao Zheng and Chu Xiaoran exchanged glances, both feeling embarrassed.

"Cousin, this guy bullied me, you need to fire him!" Chu Xiaoran played the victim, her face flushing red as she leaned against the wall and returned to her own bedroom.

Leng Ruobing looked at Xiao Zheng expressionlessly, nodded her head, and turned back to her study.

"Hey, wife, listen to my explanation!"

Xiao Zheng hurriedly followed her into the study, only to see Leng Ruobing reading a book, paying him no attention.

He slouched on the desk, chuckling sheepishly, "Wife, it’s the vixen Xiao Ran’s fault, I didn’t take advantage of her."

"Is it interesting to say these things? Once the three months are up, we’ll return to dust, to earth, never intersecting again, and never seeing each other."

Leng Ruobing ignored his presence, flipping through business books slowly.

Xiao Zheng came up behind her and gave her shoulders a squeeze, yet surprisingly, Leng Ruobing didn’t voice any objection.

"Wife, don’t be so heartless, a day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace, a hundred days as husband and wife and one enters the old tomb together."

"Tomb your spirit, aren’t you worried I’m not annoyed enough?" Leng Ruobing’s eyes twinkled, she glanced at him and then propped her delicate arm on the table, covering her exquisite little face and sighed.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng sensed something unusual about her and whispered in her ear, "Kiss-kiss, wife, if there’s anything, just tell me. While the contract is in effect, I’m still your husband, legally binding."

"Is that so? What can you help me with?"

Leng Ruobing retorted.

But Xiao Zheng grinned shamelessly, "Ask for anything you want, I’d agree to it, even if it means you on top and me below."

"Go to hell, dream on!" Leng Ruobing dodged his gaze, feeling a bit of delight but not showing it.

Suddenly, she stood up, gazed seriously into Xiao Zheng’s eyes, and smiled faintly.

"Would you be willing to be my boyfriend?"

"...." Xiao Zheng was stupefied.

Holy grass cutting, the ice queen actually smiled, and it was as if spring filled the room.

It was a rare sight, and even Xiao Zheng, who lived with her day in and day out, seldom saw it.

"Would you be willing to be my boyfriend?"

Isn’t that bullshit? We’re already married legally, and now you want to start as boyfriend?

There’s something fishy about this situation, it’s bewitching!

Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment then complained, "I’m already your husband, why should I be a boyfriend? Is this a downgrade?"

"Just answer if you’re willing or not?" said Leng Ruobing with a gleam in her eyes that suggested a successful small plot, shining brightly and full of allure.

"Well, this husband was not willing, but since we’re an old married couple, and you want to revisit some romance of the past, I suppose I could reluctantly role-play for you."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes gleamed with sleaziness, both saucy and cheap.

Yet Leng Ruobing chuckled mockingly, "Since you’ve agreed, from now on, just play the role of my boyfriend, and put on a play with me!"

WTF, play a role? Put on a play?

Fine, treating me like an actor, are you aiming for an Oscar or what?

Xiao Zheng was puzzled, "Put on a play? For whom?"

"My older male cousin, Song Xiaoji!"

"What? Send a little chick? If your older cousin sends you a little chick, just accept it. What’s with the play?"

"Idiot! His name is Song Xiaoji."

Finally, Leng Ruobing lost her temper, glaring at Xiao Zheng with fiery eyes, driven to the brink by his idiotic logic.
