The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 156 You Have Been In Love With Me Since A Long Time Ago

Julian narrowed his eyes dangerously at Susan as he said, "Woman, don't forget that you're already my wife. Our wedding certificate is still sitting in the safe upstairs. Who else could it be if you don't want to marry me?”

"What's the point of asking me if that is the case then?" Susan lifted her eyebrow.

"You're not answering my question, woman, but I’ll take that as a yes," Julian said, rising to his feet. Then, he took the ring out of the box and put it on Susan's finger.

Observing the diamond embedded in the ring, Susan's eyebrows furrowed in distress. The diamond was huge and it stung her eyes. She said, "This thing is so big. It's like I'm yelling at a robber to come and rob me. Can I take it off?"

As she spoke, she tried to get the ring down from her finger.

"Don't you dare, Susan Shelby!" Julian snapped, his eyes burning into Susan.

Susan stuck her tongue out at Julian and stopped moving. "I'm just joking with you. By the way, this one seems different from the last one I had."

Julian gave her a wedding ring before, but she threw i t away in a fit of anger after she was provoked by Isla. After that, she did not know where the ring had gone.

Julian harrumphed, "You've got the nerve to talk about our wedding ring, huh. I thought you didn’t want it anymore since you threw it at a nonsense woman?"

"Nonsense woman? Have you forgotten that you're the one who wanted me to apologize to her? You even asked me to give her a birthday present! Julian Shaw, I can't believe that you can remember her birthday after knowing her just for a couple of days," Susan said indignantly.

"Who the hell knows her birthday? I only know that that day is your..." Julian suddenly stopped midway through his sentence.

Susan blinked her eyes, "Me? What is the thing that you know about me?"

"It's nothing," Julian dodged Susan's question, setting his jaw in a tight line.

Understanding suddenly dawned upon Susan when she saw that Julian refused to hold her gaze. She stared at him with bright eyes as she asked, "You know that day is my birthday, don't you?"

"I don’t know," Julian denied.

"You really don't know that my birthday is on October 20th?" Susan pressed on, a cunning grin crossed her face.

"I thought it was on the 30th of..." Julian replied subconsciously, then he suddenly realized something was amiss.

He turned his gaze towards Susan and saw a knowing smile on her face. His face turned rigid as he quickly replied, "I found out afterward. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about it.”

Susan did not believe in Julian. Holding the knowing grin on her face, Susan teased, "You were trying to make me angry that day, weren't you?"

"Nope."

"You're using Isla to make me angry, are you?"

"Nope."

"The present was for me, wasn't it?"

"You're delusional.”

"You've been in love with me for a long time, have you not?" Susan cut straight to the chase.

"That is impossible," Julian said with a blank expression, though the reddened tips of his ears betrayed how nervous he was.

This was something that he had never expected. He was proposing to Susan, so she should be the one blushing all over. He had no idea what had gone sideways, and now Susan was teasing him.

"Just admit it, Julian," Susan walked one step forward.

Julian took one step back.

"Admit it, Julian,” Susan advanced another step closer.

Julian recoiled another step back.

After a few times, Julian was backed into a corner.

Smiling like a Chesire cat and looking like a wolf that had caught a rabbit, Susan said, "Tell me, Julian. Have you been plotting this for a long time?"

Julian was filled with anger when he saw the brilliant smile on Susan’s face.

'This woman is getting more and more audacious around me. Does she really think that I’ll not punish her?' Julian squinted his eyes and thought inwardly,' Although she does look cute when she behaves this way and I’m willing to let her boss me around, she still needs to be taught a lesson.'

With that thought in mind, Julian lifted his eyebrow a s he held Susan's gaze. Suddenly, before Susan could d o anything, he bent over and scooped her up from the floor.

Susan was taken aback when she was lifted in midair. It was only now that she realized she had taken it too far and Julian began to retaliate against her. Be that a s it may, she was not going to yield to him just like that and struggled with all her might. "What are you doing, Julian? Put me down!"

When she saw where he was heading, her eyes widened in horror and she struggled even more.

However, Julian paid no heed to her struggle and secured her tightly in his steel embrace. As if he could read her thoughts, he said, "This will be a punishment for enraging me, woman. I'll let you know what is the consequence of trying to mess with me."

After a few hours, Julian stood by the bed, holding a bowl of soup in his hand, his face holding an apologetic expression.

"Susie, I've brought you some soup," he asked softly, helplessly looking at the mound on the bed.

"Go away!" Susan's muffled yell wafted out from under the blanket.

"Come out, Susie. It's not good to cover yourself underneath the blanket. You could suffocate."

"I’m not coming out," Susan replied exasperatedly.

"Be good, Susie. I know I might’ve gone a little too far this time. I promise you I'll listen to you next time," Julian said unctuously.

If the employees from Lanyard were watching the scene right now, their jaws would probably hit the floor. After all, they were under the impression that their boss was a cool, handsome, and despotic CEO who found pleasure in switching female partners from time to time. He was like a bird that would never perch on any tree, and they never expected that he would be so devoted to a woman.

"So you do know that you've gone too far, huh?" Susan pulled the blanket down and stared angrily at Julian,"

Do you know how painful it was? I was screaming at you to slow down, but you just kept on going faster and faster. It’s still hurting me right now!"

"It’s my fault. I'm sorry, Susie,” Julian apologized.

During that time, his emotions had gotten the best of him and he lost control. He did not notice that he was going too fast, and by the time he realized it, Susan was already crying. That was the reason Susan was mad at him right now. 1

"So how are you going to compensate me?" Susan asked grumpily.

Julian thought for a moment and then replied, "I'm thinking of spending a few months to prepare a big wedding for you, probably after the new year. How's that sound?"

Susan blinked her eyes, "Are you kidding me, Julian Shaw? I’m your wife. It's your responsibility as a husband to give me a wedding. You can’t just take it and label it as compensation. Try again."

Julian felt Susan was right. He found he could not refute her.

'If a wedding is a no-go, then what else can I do?

Money? But all my money belongs to Susie. How about jewelry? But Susie doesn't like jewelry..."

Julian thought for a long while, but nothing came to mind. He turned to Susan and pleaded, "Just tell me what you want, Susie. I can't think of anything right now."

A glint flashed across Susan's eyes. She waved at Julian and said, "Come closer."

Julian went nearer and he frowned after he heard what Susan had said, "Three months? No! I can't accept it. It’s too long!"

"Just three months!” Susan pouted, "I'm still hurt right now.”

She had no idea what had gotten into Julian today. He was so fierce and she was still in pain right now.

"Half a month," Julian bargained.

"No! Two months and a half!”

"Twenty days!"

"Two months!"

After some bargaining, they finally fixed the time for a month.

"That's a deal, then. You can't touch me for a month!" Susan's eyes shone brightly.

Lifting one of his eyebrows, Julian asked, "So you want to eat now?"

"Yes," Susan nodded.

Initially, Julian was feeding her. Then, it became a mutual feeding, and the atmosphere became more and more intimate.

If he had not agreed with Susan that he would not touch her for a month, he would have pounced on her

already.

At night, Julian held Susan in his arms.

The fragrance of her hair tickled his nostrils, and he once again regretted agreeing to such a condition with Susan. One month was just too long for him! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Forcing down the bolt of heat in his heart, Julian asked through a husky voice, "Susie, why didn't you go meet your childhood friend today?"
