Chapter 317 - Charity Gala
On the other side.
Zhenyi was standing with her hands on her hips, scowling at the closet. She was tired and sore from the lovemaking. She couldn\'t believe her husband at all. She just agreed to a lunch date. But how did that lunch date end up with several rounds of lovemaking?
Ugh. He was impossible.
She swore that it was not her who took advantage of him this time, rather it was him.
Now staring at the closet, she had an urge to cry. Her husband was hellbent on dragging her to a charity gala when she didn\'t wish to attend. She hates these kinds of events. Why pretend to be something you weren\'t?
To add more to her problems, she had nothing to wear for tonight. Yes, she had a lot of clothes. But she had nothing to wear for tonight. The majority of the clothes in her wardrobe were white much to her husband\'s fetish with white.
"What\'s taking you so long, Wife?" Long Jie emerged inside the closet room. Freshly showered and a towel wrapped around his lower body, proudly exhibiting nail marks on his back and hickeys on his front body.
Not glancing at her husband, Zhenyi said, "I have nothing to wear for tonight."
"Don\'t worry. I have ordered a perfect dress for you," Long Jie said with an evil grin. He had specially picked that dress for her.
"Does it have white?" Zhenyi asked, her eyes still fixed on the clothes hanging in her closet.
Long Jie\'s grin froze as he heard her question.
"Well, a little--"
Before Long Jie could say anything, Zhenyi held up her hand to stop him from saying any further. She understood his obsession with white better than anyone. Her eyes stopped on one particular dress as she pulled out the hanger from the closet.
"I\'m wearing this dress," Zhenyi said as she turned to her husband, holding a hanger in one hand. "And you will maintain a distance from me until we reach the venue."
"That\'s not happening, baby," Long Jie said, an evil glint present in his eyes. Turning his eyes to the dress, he added, "And like hell, you will wear this dress."
Zhenyi stepped ahead, a smile intact on her face, and with her hands, she pushed him out of the closet room. "Try me, husband."
After an hour, Zhenyi came out of the closet wearing a red mermaid bodice gown. It was a strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline and completely backless. Not to forget the satin train which was giving an edgy look to the extremely sexy dress.
Her waist-length hair was styled in soft curls which were concealing her bareback, but it was enough to imply what lies behind those long curly hair. She didn\'t choose any jewelry for her neck, just a pair of earrings that matched the dress perfectly. Her makeup was done minimum as per her request because the blood-colored lipstick was enough to brighten up her whole face.
Zhenyi had a smirk on her face when she saw Long Jie pacing back and forth in their bedroom, still dressed in a towel.
"Why aren\'t you dressed yet?" Zhenyi asked him with innocent eyes. She behaved as if she wasn\'t the reason for his headache at all. Hmmph! Who asked him to tire her?
Long Jie gulped when he saw a goddess approaching him. Too bad this goddess was his cruel wife.
He saw her picking out a suit for him, matching tie, cufflinks, and so on. Once he changed into the suit selected by Zhenyi, she effortlessly adjusted the pocket square which was red in color matching her dress. As good a wife as she was, she even helped him in wearing cufflinks.
Of course, he knew what she was doing. She was torturing him. She was intentionally touching him at places where she knew he would die to touch her in return.
"Oh, sorry," Zhenyi said as she \'unintentionally\' caressed his hard-on. He groaned in reaction.
Long Jie leaned ahead, nuzzling her neck, "Put me out of misery, Cat eyes."
Zhenyi looked up with wide eyes. "I do not know what you are talking about." Next, she kissed his cheek as she went back to bring a comb, and then, she styled his hair as she saw him doing once. She even rubbed moisturizer on his face. "You look handsome, honey."
Long Jie grabbed her wrist which was about to stroke his cheek and pressed it on his heart. "You will pay for it later."
Zhenyi just blinked innocently in return and trotted away.
Long Jie let out a curse as she entered the closet space again to bring out her heels. He walked to her and helped her in wearing her shoes. He also kissed her beautiful feet.
"You are crazy, you know that?" Long Jie asked once they left their bedroom.
___
As their car stopped, Long Jie exited the car first. The media went into a frenzy seeing their favorite piece of news coming out of his car. He was looking extremely dashing today. Their eyes popped when he leaned and put forward a hand to escort someone. The Business Magnate was not alone. It was newsworthy of headlines!
A few seconds later, a smiling goddess appeared, holding Long Jie\'s hand. Snap. Snap. Snap. The media didn\'t know what possessed their bodies as they clicked picture after picture.
Someone shouted the question if the woman accompanying Long Jie was his wife as they noticed the wedding bands on their fingers.
"I hate attending such events, yet you brought me to one," Zhenyi grumbled to her husband while smiling sweetly at everyone else."Don\'t tell me you did this just to brag about your marital status to everyone?"
"What\'s wrong with telling everyone that I\'m off-limits now?" Long Jie whispered in her ear. "Moreover, I brought you here for your own benefit. This Charity Gala is organized by the Du family. You won\'t believe me if I say that Aria\'s case has links with Du Zheng."
