Chapter 120: Meeting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

April 28th was Huang Lihan’s birthday. Shangguan Ning went to the mall to choose a gift for him.

Mi Xiaoxiao proposed to keep her company. They spent the entire afternoon looking for something appropriate but still found nothing.

Firstly, Shangguan Ning didn’t want to buy her uncle something, just for the sake of it. She wanted to get him something that he would really like. Secondly, she really couldn’t think of anything that Huang Lihan didn’t already have.

When she lived abroad, some years ago,she would buy him local souvenirs or items of his choice and and post them to him. This year, she was in China and still had no idea what to buy him.

Mi Xiaoxiao wasn’t complaining, even though she was wearing a pair of high heeled shoes. She loved shopping and browsing through various shops at the mall. “Hey, Shangguan, there is a porcelain shop over there, let’s go and have a look. Maybe we find something suitable.”

Shangguan Ning followed her into the shop.

Her uncle liked tea so maybe she could get him a tea set.

The moment they entered the store, they saw two familiar faces.The man was tall and handsome. The girl next to him was elegant and beautiful.

It was Jing Yichen and Tang Yun.

Mi Xiaoxiao was startled at the sight of both of them. Shangguan Ning was indifferent. She didn’t blink an eyelid. She behaved as if she didn’t know them at all. She went to the glass shelf and started to check out the crystal-clear porcelain collection, at the store.

Mi Xiaoxiao nudged Shangguan Ning on her elbow. “Shangguan, pinch me! I suspect that I have a clear visual of them now.”

Shangguan Ning did as asked. She pinched Mi Xiaoxiao hard. Mi Xiaoxiao screamed in pain.

Jing Yichen, whose back was facing them, turned around and caught sight of his wife and Mi Xiaoxiao. His wife didn’t look at him. She appeared to be browsing through some tea sets while Mi Xiaoxiao massaged her arm.

Tang Yun was whispering to Jing Yichen, with her head low. She soon spotted Shangguan Ning and her companion.

She thought that Shangguan Ning was following them and intended to pick on her. Tang Yun then purposely went up to Jing Yichen and held his arm. She said in a charming tone, “Yichen, it is my fault. I will be more careful next time. For now, may I have this blue and white porcelain figure. Its only costs a few thousand yuans. Please pay for it and let’s get going. You can’t say no to me, can you ?”

Jing Yichen hated it when someone apart from Shangguan Ning, touched him. It could be a man or a woman, that didn’t matter. He flung his arm off as a conditional reflex, the moment Tang Yun held his arm.

Tang Yun knew of this quirk of his. She knew he didn’t like being touched, but she wanted to annoy Shangguan Ning. She wanted Shangguan Ning to know that Jing Yichen was her man, so she held on to Jing Yichen, as if marking her territory.

She felt quite embarrassed when Jing Yichen moved his arm away. What was worse, Shangguan Ning was a witness to all this. In order to save face, Tang Yun stuck by Jing Yichen’s side and refused to make eye contact with Ning.

Sensing Jing Yichen’s discomfort , Shangguan Ning saw that Jing Yichen was not in an easy position either. He was furious and was trying hard to control his temper. His expressions were easy to read.

She had not planned to speak with them, nor had she planned to fight with Tang Yun. She didn’t want to have any conflict with Tang Yun anymore, after she learnt that Tang Yun had saved Jing Yichen’s life. That made her Shangguan Ning’s saviour as well.

Shangguan Ning had been patient all this while but seeing Tang Yun behave so provocatively, Shangguan Ning couldn’t just be an innocent bystander and watch the show. She needed to do something about it. She was, after all, Jing Yichen’s wife.

Mi Xiaoxiao greeted them as soon as Jing Yichen turned to them. “Mr. President, it’s so nice to see you!”

The moment Mi Xiaoxiao finished saying this, Shangguan Ning came up to Jing Yichen, stood on the tip of her toes and kissed him on his lips.

When she saw this, Mi Xiaoxiao couldn’t believe her eyes. This scene was straight out of the movies. She didn’t even realise when she dropped her cell phone. She only snapped out of her reverie when the phone hit the ground.

Jing Yichen didn’t expect that Shangguan Ning would kiss him in front of so many people. She was usually very shy and didn’t take the initiative out of her own accord. It was always Jing Yichen who took the effort and he always felt like he was forcing her .

Seeing Jing Yichen reciprocating to Shangguan Ning’s kiss, Tang Yun was annoyed and crazily jealous. Wasn’t this the same Jing Yichen who didn’t like it when someone touched him. How could he allow this bitch to kiss him? What happened to all his intimacy issues now? Where did they disappear?

After Shangguan Ning finished kissing him, she stretched out her hands to adjust his suit and collar, in a flirtatious manner. She then said, “Honey, don’t work too hard. Come home early tonight. I happen to like a tea set. Will you please pay for it? Also, please get it home for me, will you? I should be going now. There’s so much I need to get done.”

Jing Yichen smiled. He pulled out a golden card from his wallet and handed it to Shangguan Ning. “Of course I’ll pay for it and get the set home for you. Here. Keep my card. Now go shop but come home soon.”

Without even glancing at the card, Shangguan Ning took it and kept it in her purse. Then she said to the salesman, who was completely confused, “Sir, please pack up this tea set and give it to this gentleman here. Thank you.”

Having said this, she turned around and pulled an already astonished Mi Xiaoxiao away from the store. “Let’s go, Xiaoxiao, didn’t you just say that you wanted to buy a dress? Let’s go have a look at it. I’ll come with you.”

Mi Xiaoxiao who was still bewildered, followed her out quietly. After they had left the store, Mi Xiaoxiao realized that she had left her cell-phone in the store. She ran back to the store to pick it up.

When they walked away a little further and Mi Xiaoxiao was certain that Jing Yichen couldn’t hear them, she hugged Shangguan Ning tightly, amidst giggles and peals of laughter, as she rambled on excitedly, “Shangguan, you... you are married... to... him ?”

Shangguan Ning smiled her widest smile and said jovially, “Let go of me, you silly girl. I will die of suffocation, if you don’t.”

Mi Xiaoxiao let go of her instantly and then planted a huge kiss on Shangguan Ning’s face. She then said, laughing crazily, “Hahahaha, I just kissed the woman who kissed the President. Hold on.. I kissed the woman who the President kissed!”

Shangguan Ning wiped off the saliva on her face. She couldn’t help smiling at Mi Xiaoxiao, who was simply overexcited.

She had thought that Mi Xiaoxiao would get annoyed with her for not telling her about her being married to Jing Yichen. Instead, Mi Xiaoxiao was so happy and excited that she couldn’t get over this huge piece of news. She was so happy for Shangguan Ning.

“Xiaoxiao, I didn’t try to conceal the truth on purpose. I just...”

“It’s alright, really. I don’t blame you. You weren’t in a position to share the truth with everyone. The women at the office would be so jealous of you. You would soon be done away with.” She made a playful gesture of her throat being cut.

Shangguan Ning laughed.

Mi Xiaoxiao patted Shangguan Ning’s shoulders and said with a smile, “So, Shangguan, you are the one who has charmed the President. So what I say to you every day is just a waste of time, eh! I even tried to persuade you to get divorced. Thank God, you didn’t listen to me. Oh God, I feel so awful for saying that.”

“Well... Xiaoxiao, you’d better not tell others about it. I don’t want our colleagues at the company, to know about it yet.” Shangguan Ning had to remind her friend. She knew Mi Xiaoxiao was excited but she didn’t want her to have a slip of tongue in all this excitement.

Mi Xiaoxiao pinched her neck and made a promise, with exaggerated expressions. “Don’t worry. I am a woman of my word. Your secret is safe with me. No one will be able to worm anything out of me.”

Shangguan Ning nodded and they continued with their shopping expedition, happily.

In the meanwhile, at the porcelain store, Jing Yichen was already in the midst of a heated discussion with Tang Yun. He said seriously, “If you run out of money next time, tell the guards around you. I have a running account with them. I’ll pick up the tab. Please don’t expect me to go shopping with you. I don’t even keep my wife company, when she goes shopping.”
