After Being Cheating novel Chapter 277

"... I don't know how to put it to you. They still had a heart. When I mentioned that I was pregnant, they let me go!"

Daniel remained silent for a while after she finished speaking, and just stared at her.

Janet couldn't tell how he felt from the complicated look in his eyes.

She wasn't even aware that he had furiously clenched his fists inside his pockets.

She gently called out to him, "Daniel..."

'What is he thinking about? It's been too long since he uttered another word!'

The man held Janet into his arms so tight that it was difficult for her to breathe.

Daniel rested his eyes on her, and in a coarse voice, said, "Don't ever leave me again."

He regretted that he hadn't been there to breathe soothing words in her ear when everything came flooding in, and that he hadn't been there when anger and frustration had gotten the best of her.

Janet should not have put up with the pain and sufferings that had ensued for her because of his stone cold heart.

It was Janet who had made Daniel feel the most indebted to.

From now on, Daniel decided that he would not allow anyone in the world to boss around Janet or make her suffer ever again.

He wasn't a true man if he ever failed in doing that again.

He felt her heart beating faster, and she felt it against his own heart, throbbing inside his chest.

She followed his overbearing dictation, with no resistance, and said, "Fine."

"Janet, " he rumbled.

The girl in his arms suddenly looked up to him, tight-lipped and aggrieved, and finally said, "Daniel."

"Yes?"

"You don't love me any more. You used to call me Jane!" She accused him of this, because she liked it the most when he called her "Jane". That simple word, when he spoke it out loud, aroused an orgasm in her ears.

The man burst out laughing, holding her face, and touching his forehead to hers.

"Jane, I love you, " he said.

Janet was now overwhelmed with sweet joy, and put on a happy smile back on her face.

Under the tree, a lovely scenery could be seen, two lovers tenderly embracing each other.

Janet could even hear whispers around them. "The guy looks like Daniel; you know, the bossy CEO."

"Well, he does, indeed. Cute boys like him are rare to see nowadays."

"Rumour has it that he also has a daughter. The girl he's hugging should be the mother of the kid, shouldn't she?"

Daniel was just about to kiss the girl before he heard the gossips around them. Suddenly, he looked back at the gossiping girls, and affirmatively shouted, "Yeah, she's the mother of my child."

Suddenly, there was an outburst of screams, attracting even more attention. The girls wanted to approach them, but when they thought better, they decided not to.

"Wow! He really is Daniel!"

"I can't believe that Daniel really talked to us. Oh my god, he's so cute. My heart... Oh my god, I need a CPR."

"You're stupid. Take a pic of him!"

...

They were one step behind them, and they could only see their backs.

Daniel didn't seem be bothered by those who followed them and took snapshots, because he had intended to announce to the whole world that Janet was his girlfriend.

There were too many people who had wanted to take a frontal picture of the two.

The bodyguards had to step in and keep the crowd at bay away from the couple.

Janet frowned a little at the sight of so many girl fans taking their pictures, and said, "Mr. Si, how about starting out a new career?"

"And what career would that be?"

"A movie star, like Joseph. You'll be shining in the spotlight as never before." She thought that she could then be his manager, spending all of her day counting his cash. Ha ha ha.

The man frowned, and said, "I'm shining as never before even when I'm not a movie star. "

"Mr. Si, you're putting on your airs and graces now, aren't you? asked Janet, with doubt.

He proudly answered, "I'm awesome."

...

Janet sighed within herself, and thought, 'He's proved himself to be.

As a matter of fact, under his title of CEO, Daniel has tens of millions of followers on Weibo.'

Halfway on their way, they passed by a milk tea shop. Janet got rid of Daniel's hand, and said, "I'm gonna have a cup of milk tea."

Every time, they had a cup of milk tea before having their cold noodles.

Daniel called Spark when she went inside the shop to buy the tea, and said, "I need information on a guy..."

The crowd of fans that had followed him from behind could feel the coldness in his tone. A few of them actually walked away in terror when they heard him.

Janet, while she waiting for her milk tea, was now making eye contact with the others. Then, someone asked her, "Are you Mr. Si's girlfriend?"

Janet looked back and smiled at them, but she didn't utter a word.

She didn't admit, nor deny it.

When she came to Daniel after she purchased the milk tea, Daniel was glaring at her, which puzzled her.

"Next time anyone asks you that question, I hope that your answer will be 'yes'."

Downing her milk tea, she gingerly responded, "Not yet, you are not courting me."

She held the cup of milk tea to his lips before Daniel had the chance to reply.

Daniel decided not to resign himself to the cup of milk tea that Janet had brought for him. Nonetheless, he forced himself to take a sip out of it, because he saw that its straw had been touched by her lips.

"I thought we've made peace; haven't we?" The sweet milk tea wasn't to Daniel's liking. He had no clue as to why on earth she would enjoy such a sugary thing.

Janet held his hands and then walked into a small shop with him. She pretended to deny it while they were waiting in line, and asked, "When did I ever promise you that?"

To her surprise, the man lowered his head and approached Janet, who leaned back her body in terror. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Daniel looked at her red lips, and severely asked, "Did you, or did you not, promise me?"

The look in his eyes was... She nodded in a hurry, "Yeah, sure, I remember, bad memory. Yes, I did promise you. Hee hee."

The man was now looking satisfied with her answer, and said, "Go and order then."

Their turn to order had come. Janet came forward to order the food, and said, "Hey, boss, two bowls of cold noodles, one large and the other one small. Don't forget to add peppers to it. And a portion of marinated tofu, plus a portion of fish meatballs and one of conch meatballs."

"There you go. Anything else?"

The owner was smiling at the regular customer, who ate cold noodles every time she passed by Ginkgo Road in Z Country.

"Daniel?" She turned around and called out to the slightly frowning man.

While pointing towards the menu board, she asked, "What else do you want?"

He shook his head.

After they left the counter, the two sat facing each other in a corner. Janet placed her milk tea on the table, and said, "Oops, have I brought the wrong guy here? "

Daniel's eyebrows stretched immediately, and he complained, "The sanitation here is grossly unqualified. Aren't you afraid of going to hospital after lunch?"

Janet looked around the fully-seated shop and observed the cleanly-mopped tables and chairs, and said, "It's not that bad."

Daniel fired several cases quickly, as if it were demanded by his social upstanding, and said, "Although the bowls and chopsticks are stored in a disinfection cabinet, it isn't turned on. The waiters aren't wearing masks or clean uniforms, and neither are the windows, nor the floor, clean."

Janet looked at the disgruntled man in surprise, and she felt that Daniel was there to conduct an hygiene inspection, rather than to have and enjoy lunch with her.
