Chapter 315
Richard waved at Pearl. “I came because I missed you.”
Pearl, being skeptical, questioned his timing. She got into the car and stared at him intently as if she were trying to decipher something. “But why did you come right on time and wait for me at the door?”
Richard decided to be honest. “Okay, you got me. I caught a cold and came here to get some medicine.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Pearl frowned, feeling like she had failed as his girlfriend.
Although Richard was truthful, he sounded somewhat hurt. “It’s because you’re taking care of someone else, and I didn’t want to trouble you.” His underlying message was that he was jealous.
Hearing his bitter words, Pearl playfully walked over and pinched his cheek. “Okay, stop overthinking. That’s my cousin. How could you be jealous of him? You’re acting like a child, Richard.” She couldn’t help but wonder how the cold and emotionless president could turn into such a coquettish and clingy man.
“Yeah, I’m jealous. How are you going to console me?” Richard subconsciously licked his l*ps. and gazed at Pearl with amorous eyes, acting seductively.
“How?” Pearl was equally moved.
Richard pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, “Kiss me.”
Pearl turned beet red because of his warm breath and the amorous atmosphere. She shook her head a little, but when she saw Richard’s eyes, she couldn’t say no.
Richard kept on seducing her. “Kiss me, okay?”
Pearl gritted her teeth and raised her head to k*ss his face. Her abashed look was very attractive.
Richard drew her closer, about to lean in for a k*ss when suddenly someone tapped on the car window. Startled, Pearl immediately pulled away from Richard, her face still flushed.
Richard lowered the car window and glared at the security guard outside, his demeanor icy because the security guard had disrupted their moment.
Initially, the security guard wanted to remind them that parking was not allowed, but he swallowed his words under Richard’s intimidating stare. “Uh, you can’t park here…”
“I’m sorry. We’ll go now.” Pearl nodded apologetically.
Richard averted his gaze and stepped on the gas pedal to drive away. Pearl turned to look at him, laughing uncontrollably.
“Why are you laughing?” Richard was baffled.
Pearl couldn’t hold back her laughter as she continued, “Your expression… Hahaha! No wonder he was taken aback. He probably thought he had ruined our romantic moment.”
“Romantic moment? Do you want to continue it?” Richard glanced at her through the rear-
view mirror, where the bright k*ss mark on his cheek was quite conspicuous. Pearl suddenly stopped laughing and gazed at Richard with a shy expression.
“Okay, I’ll stop teasing you. Where are you headed? Are you going home?” he asked.
“No, I’m going to the black market,” Pearl replied, shaking her head, uncertain of how he would react.
As expected, Richard’s expression became stern. “What are you going to do there?”
“I need some herbs for Blake’s injury, so I’m going to the auction at the black market,” Pearl explained honestly, looking at Richard.
