7 Close Contact:

The boating trip began under Lang Lang’s proposal and ended at his command. Xiao Tu sat in a small corner holding tightly onto the railing, afraid the boat would destabilise and she would end up on top of him again.

After he had lifted her off him, he had grasped the steering wheel and skilfully separated from the other boats, and then drove back to the jetty smoothly. (Zuben: So, he pretended not to know how to drive it?)

Xiao Tu watching him and just had to admire him. Though he said he didn’t know, he had learned quickly how to drive the boat, and he looks so handsome. (Zuben: Xiao Tu, you need a smack)

🐺

Cunning thoughts of the Bad Wolf:

How could it be hard to drive such a simple boat? A relaxed turn left and right. Yup. You know how many years I’ve been driving? (Zuben: I can't decide: was he pretending not to know how to drive or did he not want to embarrass himself in the first place?)

 🐺

Lang Lang got off the boat and started walking ahead of her with his long legs. Of course, people with long legs walk fast, but he wasn’t considering Xiao Tu’s short legs. (Zuben: Lies! They don’t walk fast at all. Tutu just doesn't have strong leg muscles.)

Ugh, was he still angry? I didn’t mean for it to happen. Ah, old hatreds are still unsolved, and now another offence…Don’t tell me… (Zuben: Girl, the person that needs to be angry here is you!)

Xiao Tu quickly ran after him, ‘Lang…er Director, let’s go somewhere else. Somewhere more fun!’

But the beautiful man completely ignored her and took even bigger steps. Xiao Tu had to run after him and grab his arm to stop.

He looked coldly at her two small paws holding onto his arm and then looked up at Xiao Tu

‘Miss Xiao, I know that you may be very young and do not have a boyfriend at this stage. Even if you’re hungry and thirsty, you can’t harass me.’

What? Harass you?! Hungry and thirsty? I’ll have you know that you’re right: I am hungry.

But I can’t say it.

‘Who says I don’t have a boyfriend?! Who dares say I am hungry and thirsty? I will have you know that I have a date tonight!’ She declared pompusly.

Without warning, Lang Lang drew her close to him and held his arms around her waist so she was pressed against him, ‘Say that again; what are you doing tonight?’

Xiao Tu was stunned stupid. She didn’t hear a word he said, only that she watching his lips open and close and she could feel his heat. His black eyes almost sucked her in. All she could feel was his body against hers, and she broke out in goosebumps.

Lang Lang lowered his head even closer, ‘Tell me, what are you doing tonight?’

He was leaning so close the tips of their noses were almost touching.

Xiao Tu felt as though she was about to blush, she dared not breathe, ‘I…have a blind date. Zhen Zhen arranged it for me.’

Blind date? Did I allow it? Dare find another man behind my back? Seduce me during the day, and meet another man at night? If I don’t teach you a lesson, you wouldn’t know to be obedient, where his thoughts. (Zuben: Dude, the only person who knows you’ve staked your claim is you)

Lang Lang suddenly let go of Xiao Tu, who was now close to death, and strode ahead.

Xiao Tu patted her chest and she took deep breaths trying to get her heart and mind back in order; sooner or later, she was going to be killed by this handsome wolf.

‘Hurry up, didn’t you want to go elsewhere?’

Would you pity Xiang Xiyu?! Let me catch a breath!

‘Where are we going?’ she asked.

‘You’re the tour guide; I’m listening to you.’

I’m still the tour guide?! Thank you, Lord Longren.

‘Would you like to go to the amusement park? Then again, I don’t think you will be interested…’

‘Let’s go.’

Fuck! Last time she went there, she played until she vomited.

Rebelling is tantamount to looking for death, Xiao Tu gradually understood this. She led the way to the amusement park of nightmares.

As soon as they entered, Xiao Tu’s eyes went to her most hated rides. She tried to look away from the rapids, and saw the dragon boat, she closed her eyes, and when she saw the roller coaster, her face went pale.

Worse still, Lang Lang took her arm and dragged her straight in the direction of those three! No! There could not be such a coincidence.

When he got to the ticket booth, Xiao Tu tried to pull him back, ‘That…Director…I’m really not taking advantage of you but…I really…cannot…go’

But he ignored her, and bought two tickets before dragging her to the dragon boat. (Zuben: I don’t go to amusement parks so I actually had to research what the hell this was, and the rapids- go figure)

As soon as Xiao Tu got on the seat she grasped the safety rail. She stared intently at the park worker, willing them not to press the button. But tragedy came, and the ship started to move.

It swung up, and then back, she grabbed Lang Lang’s arm. She was dizzy, her legs were soft. Her mind had been so focussed on the dread she didn’t realise Lang Lang had been hugging her the whole time.

As the boat swung higher and higher, she was hugging him like a koala.

Lang Lang had a self-satisfied smile over her head.

With this smile, he held her and took her to the roller coaster.

The effect was evident, Xiao Tu almost merged her body with him from holding on so tightly. (Zuben: And two become one~)

 🐺

Conniving wolf thoughts:

Dare not play? Then we must go to the amusement park! If you’re afraid of these three rides, we must ride them. Make you dizzy heh~

 

8 The Blind date

By the time Xiao Tu came to, she was at a table about to have lunch with Lang Lang in a nice restaurant. (Zuben: Lang Lang and Xiao Tu's first date)

It is also true that food solved Comrade Tu enmities, so she immediately forgot her grievances. (Zuben: This girl is too easy!)

I mean look at the spread, so delicious. Life is really different for rich people.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks to take a morsel, she stopped.

‘Director, being your tour guide all day, I am not tired to death. Is this meal on you?’ she asked. One really couldn’t blame Xiao Tu, with three months’ bonuses not coming, paying for that expensive western dinner, buying this dress, she really had no money to toss about anymore.

Lang Lang just stared at her, not saying anything.

Shit! Why? You have so much money yet you want poor old me to pay?!

After what seemed like an eternity staring at each other, he finally said, ‘Eat, don’t worry. It’s on me. You’ll be accompanying me in the afternoon.’

Th-the afternoon?! No! I’ll go crazy being tossed about, she moaned. She wanted to go home and beat her face; she needed to seduce her date with her best face.

But this meal…so tempting.

Seeing her torn expression, Lang Lang smiled, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take you to your date.’

Wow! Was there such a good thing? (Zuben: Tutu, you don’t learn)

This dead wolf suddenly turned nice. I can eat at ease.

She took a bite from the first plate, didn’t swallow it before she took another morsel from the next dish, and the other until her mouth was too full.

Lang Lang suddenly didn’t feel hungry, so he watched her instead.

Feeling the heated gaze of the best man, Xiao Tu realised she needed to behave. She swallowed the mouthful of food, and spoke with a mouth stained with oil, ‘Ha ha, I am so sorry. I forgot that you were eating too.’

Xiao Tu reluctantly pushed the dishes she had drawn towards herself to the middle of the table.

‘It’s fine, I’m not hungry, you carry on.’

Wow! You said it yourself and I’ll respectfully obey, she nodded as she quickly snatched the dishes back, scared he would suddenly get hungry and want to grab her food. (Zuben: save some for takeaway!)

Half an hour later, Xiao Tu belched as she leaned back in the chair in contentment rubbing her bulging belly.

She didn’t forget to thank her parents for food and clothing, ‘Thank you, Director. The food was delicious.’ With a laugh.

Lang Lang didn’t say anything, he just smiled the whole time. He must realise that his smile had taken Tutu’s soul away. She watched as he rose from his chair, and came round to her side. He leaned closer and closer.

Wha-what was he trying to do to her?

He raised his hand and wiped the roast duck sauce from the corner of her mouth with his thumb.

‘Good. Let’s go to the next scenic spot.’

And so, Comrade Tu was taken on a dizzying tour of the city. She didn’t come back to herself until they were in front of a restaurant.

‘We’re here, aren’t you going on a date?’

Oh! They were at the café!

‘Thank you dropping me off, Director. You must be tired after this whole day, please get some rest.’ She said with a polite bow. She wanted to leave a good impression, and so she smiled like a flower.

But to Lang Lang, the smile had a different connotation: Are you so happy to go on a date with another man?!

Xiao Tu got out of the car, fluffled her hair, straightened her skirt before entering the café.

What are you doing? You’re still ugly! Lang Lang thought staring at her back. (Zuben: Che! Dishonest fellow)

She looked around and her eyes met a solo gentleman.

She went over to him with a smile.

‘Are you Miss Xiao Tu?’

‘Yes, you must be, Mr Ji Tianyu?’

‘Yes. You’re just like your name, Miss Xiao. So cute.’

Xiao Tu covered her face and giggled; it was good she didn’t change her name.

‘Thank you. You’re also a charming man, Mr Ji. I hear you only just returned to China?’

‘Yes, I was studying abroad. Recently, a big company here took a fancy to me, so I returned.’

Wow! Little returnees, like Lang Lang…what was she thinking of him for?!

‘Ha ha, you must be really talented. I have always been just a clerk.’

‘Miss Xiao don’t say that, I am sure you must be a very hard-working person.’

Wow, an astute person, can see her qualities at a glance. Not like that stupid wolf that only liked to bully her. Ah! Why was she thinking of him again?!

‘Not at all, I just like to be happy everyday.’

‘You and I have the same idea. We have such a thing in common.’ Mr Ji said with a laugh. (Zuben: con artist)

Xiao Tu watching him smile thinking, if only his eyes were a little bigger, if only his eyes could be a bit more twinkly with mischief, if only his nose can be pointier, and his mouth more luscious…er wasn’t that the evil wolf?

Why was she thinking of him all the time?!

Rabbit, sober up!

‘Haha, Mr Ji is very kind.’

‘I don’t know, Miss Xiao…’

‘Honey? This was where you were. I have been looking everywhere for you! You worried me to death?’

Ho-honey?

What was going on? Xiao Tu gaped at Lang Lang, who suddenly appeared, in confusion.

Mr Ji jerked.

Lang Lang sat in the seat next to her and took her hand, ‘Honey, I know you’re still angry but I can’t help socialising for work.’

Xiao Tu giggled. Shitty Wolf must have eaten too much, right? No, he didn’t eat anything at lunch. So, he must be deliriously hungry!

‘Baby, don’t be angry. Too much anger is not good for the baby. You should think of the baby.’

Baby?! What a minute!

Was he mad? She looked at him, he looked like he was deeply in love with her. He was mad.

‘Mr Ji. I don’t know this man.’

‘Honey, it hurts when you talk like that. What do you want me to do? Kneel? I’ll kneel.’

His entry into the café had attracted the attention of the women. Hearing his loud declaration, they glared at Xiao Tu in envy. Seeing her disgusted expression, the women were gnashed their teeth.

‘This young lady, forgive your boyfriend.’

‘It is inevitable for men to socialise, don’t worry too much.’

‘He’s not angry when you go on dates with other men, so don’t be angry with him anymore.’

The peanut gallery cast their pleaded for him.

Fuck! Why was he making her look like a bad woman here?!

‘Thank you for speaking for me,’ Lang Lang said to the audience, ‘don’t force my wife. It was my fault for going out when she’s pregnant. It is also right that she doesn’t forgive me.’

The women were moved.

She wasn’t his girlfriend; she was his wife. Such a nice man…

Xiao Tu didn’t know what to do with this situation. She really wanted to slap him, but she felt that the saliva of these women would drown her.

She decided to exit. She bowed to Mr Ji in apology, and left the café in Lang Lang’s close embrace.

Once they were outside, she pushed him off.

‘Are you sick? What are you playing at?!’

He leaned against his car and crossed his arms looking pleased with himself.

‘I was trying to help you. That man looked weak, like a nerd.’

‘It so happens that I like nerds!’ (Zuben: ❌Red alert! Red alert! It's a catastrophe!)

‘Listen, as your boss, firstly, I care about my subordinates. Secondly, I don’t want my subordinates, especially a project leader to waste their time in love. I hope you work hard. Thirdly, our company needs creativity, if you talk to such boring people everyday if will have impact on your imagination.’ (Zuben: Aka "can't let any old joe poach in my preserves")

‘Fourth…’

You! You’re really ruthless! What else could she say?

When she got home that night, she changed his ringtone to the Imperial March.
