QT: Against My Will

86 2.72 – Oysters – Mr. and Mrs. Jelly

Xuan Mu placed another oyster on top of her plate while taking a shrimp in exchange, “She is not poor. A horny virgin would be more correct. With her brain and school, she could apply for high position posts, but why would she always choose a CEO’s assistant post? She is not a golddigger; neither would she sell herself for money; that’s what she keeps telling herself. Mia is an attention seeker. She likes to stand out from the crowd, and with her beauty, it’s easy. You never noticed because you never attend parties with me.”

“Oh, I’m not an attention seeker, but I’m a golddigger, and I like to sell myself for money,” Bing Shi grinned and gulped down the oyster, “Xuan Mu, how about two Bing Shies for one million?”

“So cheap?” Xuan Mu raised his eyebrow.

“A summer sale, buy one get one free,” she reached out her little hand.

“Bing Shi, my wallet is in your Doraemon,” said Xuan Mu with amusement. Yes, he called Bing Shi’s purses Doraemons as she had everything in them. His Bing Shi had a very mild case of OCD, but she refused to acknowledge it.

“Ooh,” Bing Shi opened her purse, taking out wet tissues she placed them on the table.

“Bing Shi what if I had no money?” finishing his shrimp, he asked with a tender smile.

“You have your smiles to pay me with,” she said while checking the content of her purse.

“Can I pay you with a kiss?” Xuan Mu placed another oyster on Bing Shi’s plate.

.....

“Hm? I’m not that expensive. A smile is enough,” Bing Shi closed her purse with a satisfied smile. While eating the third oysters, she looked up to meet up with a gawking pair of black irises. Seeing him bitting and licking his lips, she giggled, “Xuan Mu, no PDA.”

“Wait until we get home,” Xuan Mu pouted and placed another oyster on her plate.

“No more oysters, I want to eat something else.” She returned the oyster and picked up the crab leg.

Xuan Mu peered at Bing Shi with anguish, “Bing Shi, they are good for your health.”

“Like everything else on my plate,” Bing Shi ignored his pitiful eyes, “What are you going to do with Zhu Cai?”

“Use him, then toss him,” Xuan Mu’s mood dropped, “Bing Shi he likes you.”

“Does he? I never glanced at him after that,” Bing Shi shuddered awkwardly, “You are not jealous?”

“No, who wouldn’t like my Bing Shi? As long as you don’t like or get close to anyone else besides me, I’m fine,” Xuan Mu said with a faint smile.

Bing Shi picked all the oysters and started to eat them with gusto, proud of his progress.

“What are you doing?” asked Xuan Mu.

“Trying to drug myself with aphrodisiac food.” Aphrodisiac food didn’t work on Bing Shi. The act above was him, making fun of her. In the end, she went along with his joke.

Xuan Mu laughed, his mind and body overflowed with happiness, “Well, good luck.”

Without noticing, he scratched his chest inconspicuously.

After dinner, Xuan Mu and Bing Shi went for a tour around the yacht; they appreciated the warm sight of the sunset while listening to the quiet whooshing sound of the ship moving through the water.

Seeing nobody around, Bing Shi decided to take a photo. Wiring her camera around the metal railing, she set the timer and motioned for Xuan Mu to stand next to her.

‘I need a picture of the elephant bandage.’

Instead of the camera, Xuan Mu glanced down; the sight built up a fluttering sensation in his belly. While the sun created a warm halo around her silhouette, the warm breeze tangled with his beloved’s smooth long hair.

Bing Shi tugged the hair behind her ear, but the disobedient wind kept whipping them against her cheek and mouth. “...”

Hearing his low chuckle, she gave up with a grin, letting her hair fly around freely.

Counting the time, Xuan Mu hooked her by the waist, tugging her hair behind the ear, he leaned down and pecked her lips.

*Sounds of the shutter*

As if the moment ago was just an illusion, Xuan Mu let go of her waist and stood next to her like a statue.

Bing Shi was baffled at his timing. Her lips curled up into a thoughtful smile. Placing her hand on his chest, raising her head, she kissed his chin, resulting in Xuan Mu showing his infamous sly smile.

*Sounds of the shutter*

Continuing on their tour, Xuan Mu asked with concern and bemusement, combined, “No motion sickness?”

Bing Shi went through the photos happily, “There is none. The sea is so calm today.”

Walking through the desolate area, in the corner of their eyes they saw Mia outside arguing with a man, Bing Shi opened her eyes and mouth wide, Xuan Mu tugged her chin up, closing her mouth. They quickly avoided the arguing duo.

“Wasn’t she with Lu Ren a while ago? How did she end up arguing with the CEO of SuTech industries?” Bing Shi whispered with interest, “That slap must have hurt. Your PA is rather feisty.”

“Did you forgot? The first time we met, she wanted to pour a cup of hot tea on me. If I didn’t catch it in time, I’d end up in the hospital.” To gain his girlfriend pity, Xuan Mu behaved like a victim who suffered great injustice.

“Poor you,” Bing Shi played the role of the holy mother and patted his head in sympathy. Taking out a sour candy out of her purse, unwrapping the wrapper, she placed it near his lips, “Here, to forget the traumatic event.”

Xuan Mu, with a pitiful expression, opened his mouth to accept the candy. Moving the candy to his cheek, he spoke while sucking on the candy, “A new flavor?”

“Kiwi flavor,” Bing Shi gulped down her saliva with a sour face and continued with the topic, “I’m used to Mia behaving like a scared kitten around you that I forgot she had this side to her. How did you do it?”
