Chapter 9 Moving

The simplest tomato and egg noodles are both appetizing and nourishing, paired with a cup of hangover tea. A long time ago, Serena also used this set meal to take care of drunk James, but that time was different from now. She was not polite then. She angrily threw the noodles on the table, put her hands on her hips and complained that he did not take care of his body.

James ate his noodles while being scolded, and would tease her from time to time , not angry at all.

But now...James picked up two noodles and said disdainfully, "Is this how Chief Secretary Chen Yue treats the boss?"

"Mr. Forrest, it's time to get off work now ." Serena crossed her arms across her chest, "I didn't apply for overtime."

The subtext is that it’s good to have a stutter, if you like it, eat it, if you don’t, get lost.

James curled the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly and ate his noodles tactfully.

Serena now had time to look at him. His black shirt was buttoned casually with the collar open, and his waxed hair was still stubbornly scattered in front of his forehead, making his eye sockets look deeper and his nose bridge taller. He looked very dandy, wearing a leather jacket and riding a motorcycle.

Thanks to his genes, James has a good appearance.

His father, Shen Dechang, was a famous handsome man in Beijing when he was young, and was a romantic man because of his talent. His mother, Xue Nanyue, was a mainstay of the provincial drama troupe before she got married. The play "Thunderstorm" starring her still holds a legendary record.

The child born from these two people is naturally a favored child of heaven. He is valued by his father, loved by his brother, and his mother is the powerful Mrs. Shen. Before he met her, his life was brilliant.

Even William said that he envied James for living a free life.

"Shen Qingxiang is looking for you again?"

This time Serena learned her lesson and kept her mouth shut without answering. James finished his noodles, took out a tissue to wipe his noodles, and asked again.

"There's no need to disclose my private life to you, Mr. Forrest."

James stood up and walked in front of her. "Mr. Forrest is just curious. Chest muscles are 108. Secretary Xie has a very picky taste in men."

As expected, he heard it. Serena cursed Shen Qingxiang for not keeping her mouth shut, but she remained calm on the surface. "Married women are like this, they focus on practicality. Mr. Forrest can ask Miss Chen after they get engaged."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Serena regretted it and sounded a little jealous.

James raised an eyebrow, "It seems to be my fault for not satisfying Secretary Xie."

After saying that, he pushed one side of Serena's hair behind her ear and pinched her earlobe.

This is a sensitive area, and Serena knows that this action means James is in the mood.

She wanted to dodge immediately, but she hid in James' arms. The smell of alcohol and sweet aroma rushed into her nostrils. The man's hands were dishonest, and he brought an itch along his back. Serena pressed against him and said anxiously, "James, we're over!"

"You have no say."

As he spoke, his hands kept moving. Serena suppressed her emotions and said, "You... go find Chen Xiaoyu!"

"You can't look for her." James pinched the back of her neck, his expression gloomy.

"...Why?"

"I was drunk and didn't know how to control my strength. Of course I had to find you."

Serena's chest sank . It turned out that he didn't come to see her because he was jealous after hearing that she went out for a social event, nor did he accompany her into the dark alley because he was worried about her safety.

He had blocked the wine for the other person but was worried that the alcohol would hurt the other person, so he found her as a free bed partner.

She really didn't know when James became so considerate and caring. Oh, maybe he had always been considerate and caring, but she just didn't deserve it.

James' kiss came over him recklessly, sweeping across him like a prairie fire.

Serena's heart sank. She no longer hesitated and bit down hard.

"hiss!"

James opened his eyes in surprise. His lip was bitten . When he touched it, he found it was bleeding. He rubbed the bloodstain with his fingertips and slowly smiled.

"Sister-in-law has really good teeth. She bit herself last time and now she bites me. It's fair."

"Get out!" Serena pointed at the door, "Get out!!!"

James's answer was to pull her over and continue the kiss. He did not slow down his attack because of his injury, but became more presumptuous. The strong smell of blood was everywhere between their lips and teeth. Serena was forced to swallow his blood. The blood was so hot that it burned through her lungs. She didn't have the courage to bite again.

After the kiss, both of their lips were scarlet.

Serena's legs went weak and she sat down. James didn't stop her and let her collapse on the ground.

His cold eyes fell, "Since it's not working hours, I won't mind it, but Secretary Xie, think carefully before you yell at me next time. I'm your boss now, and you have to rely on me for food."

Serena said nothing but breathed.

It was not until the door was opened and then slammed shut that the loud sound of the door woke her up .

She looked blankly at the door, then at the empty bowl on the table, and finally touched her lips, revealing a hint of blush .

What a madman.

Once William died, no one would be able to stop James. She should have known that.

Serena slowly got up and put the dishes into the kitchen. Suddenly her cell phone rang. She picked it up mechanically. The pure black portrait of James in the pop-up window was very dazzling.

Click on the dialog box, and there is a red envelope inside.

The amount of the red envelope is two hundred yuan, and the blessing is three words: overtime pay.

has a natural talent for humiliating people .

Serena threw the phone back on the sofa and went into the kitchen to clean up. Three minutes later, she returned, picked up the phone, and answered it decisively.

Two hundred is still money, don’t waste it.

——Mr. Forrest is so generous!

After clicking send, Serena lay exhausted on the sofa. There was an extravagant fake crystal chandelier hanging in this old room. Most of the bulbs were broken, with only two remaining stubbornly standing, so the light was dim.

Serena counted the beads of the crystal chandelier for a while and decided to move.

Although it was a false alarm today, if things continue like this, problems will arise sooner or later. Now even the lights in the corridor are broken, as if God was giving her a warning.

James said something very well. There is no need to be picky about money. William’s was used, so why can’t James’s be used?

She was short of money, very short of it. The rent for this old, shabby house was two thousand eight hundred a month. If she could save it, she could accumulate tens of thousands in a year . Her self-esteem could not bring her mother back to life, nor revive her father, and she could not turn back time to change everything.

Then forget it.

When Sun Heng arrived, James was still on the second floor. He was leaning against the mottled white wall , rubbing his forehead. There was blood on his hands and the corners of his lips. Sun Heng knew that the boss was looking for Serena, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

“It should be around here.”

The boss pointed casually and Sun Heng bent down to look for it. Soon, he found the Bugatti car key on the rusty railing.

James loved playing with cars when he was in school. He had many cars to drive in rotation. He often used Maybach to work, and drove Bugatti more often in private. Today, he left Fanhuajin and drove away in Bugatti. Miss Chen stomped her feet and acted coquettishly for a long time but failed to keep him.

Sun Heng couldn't guess what happened to make James throw the car keys into such a mysterious corner, but it couldn't be a good thing after all.

"Mr. Shen, are we going back now?"

James glanced upstairs and said, "Go back."

Sun Heng followed behind him. The community was too small and the driver couldn't drive the car in. James was silent in the dark night until he reached the entrance of the community. He then spoke, "Sun Heng, check what's going on in the unlit alley ahead and the voice-activated lights on that building."

Which building? Sun Heng was confused for a moment before he understood. "Okay."

Before getting in the car, James paused. He looked back at the dark neighborhood and suddenly remembered that when they first met, Serena's home was in a similar old building.
