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

Game

Susan asked, "Is this even drinkable?" 'These things are aphrodisiacs! Who's to know what happens if a girl drinks it?’

Julian looked at her with a smile. "What do you think?"

Speechless, she took a deep breath and said as if she was staring at death in the eye, "I’ll drink it!"

"Good!" Julian grinned widely and fed the entire bowl o f soup to Susan.

After drinking all of the soup, she slumped on the sofa, feeling like a piece of salted fish. She could not even turn her body!

Moreover, the medicinal herbs that Madam Shaw brought her were potent. She was feeling so energetic that she felt like running 3 kilometers outside.

Julian had already taken a cold shower by then. He looked at Susan, who was paralyzed on the sofa, and a trace of an evil smile flashed in his eyes. "Mrs. Shaw, how’s it? How do you feel?"

"I feel great!” she replied stubbornly.

"Really? I don’t think so." Julian revealed a devilish smile at the corner of his mouth. 1

He walked over and lifted Susan up and tossed her on the bed. Then, he turned around and started removing

his clothes.

"Wh-what are you doing?" She became nervous again.

He took off his bathrobe, clad only in his underwear. Then he took out a deck of poker cards.

"What are the cards for?" Susan was stunned. She thought...

He looked at her disgustedly. "Where do you want to g o? Susan, can you have purer thoughts?"

Susan wanted to cry but no tears could come out. She guaranteed that she was really pure. It was his actions that made her misunderstand him...

"Then, why did you take off your clothes?" She was still not satisfied.

"It's too hot, huh? Can I help dissipate some heat?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Okay..." She was annoyed. "Then, the poker...”

"Can you sleep?" He looked at her intensely.

"No!" She felt like her energy could last the entire night.

"So, let's play cards. Since there are 2 of us, let’s play 2 4 Game. The one who finishes calculating first wins. The one who loses the most times will have a little tortoise drawn on the back of their hand which cannot be erased or deliberately hidden!" Julian said calmly.

Susan was suddenly in high spirits."Don't blame me for not reminding you that I'm an expert in this. When I was young, I never lost to any of the other kids."

Speaking of 24 Game, Susan’s eyes subconsciously sparkled with a trace of memory. When her parents were still alive, they had stayed at Lin County. At that time, she got to know a childhood friend, a very skinny boy.

The boy's family was quite wealthy, so he stayed in a huge bungalow and had 4 or 5 bodyguards with him.

She had gotten to know him when she crawled through the bungalow's dog flap while playing.

Susan was a wild child when she was young. After getting to know this boy, she took him to steal eggs from a tree and catch fish in the stream, and they had tremendous fun.

24 Game was one of their frequent games. Initially, she was afraid that she would lose due to her stupidity. However, that boy had been even dumber than her. Therefore, she never lost a game to him.

It was a pity that after the boy moved, her parents had an accident which changed her life entirely. Then, she left Lin County. After that, they never saw each other again.

However, they made a promise to each other before separating. No matter where they were, they would go back to their secret base after 20 years.

When she thought about it carefully, the promised date was near.

As Julian saw her reminiscing, his gaze became gentle. His past memories were precious to him, and h e believed that they were precious to her too. 1

"Let’s start.” Julian raised his eyebrows expectantly.

"Okay, start.” Susan rubbed her palms together.

The rules of 24 Game were simple. Four cards would b e calculated by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them to achieve 24 points. The fastest person would win.

The cards for the first round were '5,5,5,6'.

Susan was just about to start calculating.

”(5-5/5)*6=24,” Julian said as though he did not even need the time to think.

That fast?

Susan looked at him with dissatisfaction. "You can’t b e cheating, can you?! Wait, I'll deal the cards."

"It's up to you.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Susan glanced cautiously at Julian a few times, then carefully drew four cards from the deck. This time, Julian would not be able to cheat. 2

The cards for the second round were '10,8,2,4’. It looked simple enough and Susan was delighted to answer.

"10+8+2+4=24.” Julian’s voice was heard.

"This one was simple. You had the advantage of fast speech!" Susan continued to be dissatisfied.

So, they played round after round. Every round, Julian answered in a split second.

Susan started to have doubts. She thought that she had been an expert when she won all the games played with the young boy. Now, she met Julian who was a real expert.

Julian looked at her pitiful face and smiled. 'Did this woman think she could beat me at this? I deliberately let her win the last time.'

"This has no meaning if we continue. I have a suggestion. Why don’t you hear me out?" Susan objected sternly.

"What's your suggestion?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Give me a handicap of ten seconds! If I can’t answer i n ten seconds, then you can answer." Susan looked at Julian fiercely.

She knew that that was...shameful! However, she did not want to draw a tortoise behind her palm. It was going to be so obvious!

Julian was about to reject her unreasonable request, but Susan was already holding onto his arm and looking at him with big watery eyes. "Julian, I'm only a girl. Are you really not going to give me a handicap?"

Her eyes contained a hint of guile and her red lips were moist as though they had been touched by dewdrops.

Julian looked at her as though he was bewitched and nodded.

"Oh, yay!" Susan immediately cheered.

Realizing what he had just promised, Julian sulked. That was a ten-second allowance for a game like 24 Game! Did he still have the possibility of winning?

However, looking at Susan’s rare vitality, he suddenly felt that losing a game was nothing.

Under the invincible ten-second handicap, Susan won all the way and she cackled until the end.

The sky was already bright when they called it a night.

Susan yawned. "I'm sleepy. I'll go to bed first. I'll personally draw a little tortoise for you tomorrow." She went to sleep right after that.

Julian looked at her sleepy face and felt helpless. He suddenly regretted it.

Why did he play this game? 1

Did he not know that women were born unreasonable? It was a trap!
