Union Of Enemies

Chapter 20

Translated by CatMeme6

Before Jia Shao had time to give a report to her good friend about her dynamic blind-date, she was dumbstruck by the huge poster placed in front of 'Golden Sunflower'.

'Golden Sunflower' is the best among the top-notch photo studios in the city. The décor is elegant and sophisticated and it is completely different from the inane luxury of a large studio. The endless personal service offered made it easy for a person to have a sense of superiority.

The strange thing is that 'Golden Sunflower' has never hung up any poster at the door as an advertisement which showed people tweaking themselves in similar postures and shoot thousands of photos from the same angles. Instead, the photographer would capture the movement of the subject at random and it was even possible for a shooting session to end in the middle of a casual chat.

Everyone is unique and each person's photo has her own individual characteristics flowing with a variety of beautiful movements. Perhaps this is the real reason why 'Golden Sunflower' is so popular.

But today a huge poster picture was hung on the front door of 'Golden Sunflower' which had never put up any form of advertisement. In the picture, the beauty had a mesmerizing gaze and her fingers were half covering the front of her chest. She was looking behind her with a timid and fearful look. The outline of her snow-white back curved all the way down to her slender waist ending at the curvaceous part of her body where people's eyes were most eager to admire. Her hair was spread over her shoulders, half covering and half exposing her flirtatious sexiness.

When passerby walked passed the studio, they could not help but halt their footsteps to admire and sigh endlessly. There were even many young girls who after looking at the poster, happily rushed into 'Golden Sunflower' with excitement.

While Jia Shao was rubbing the big swollen lump on her forehead walking to the studio to start work, from a distance she could see the crowd gathered in front of 'Golden Sunflower' admiring the huge poster picture. After confirming the face of the person in the poster, her face which originally had a half awake look instantly changed.......to a murderous expression.

"Fang - Qing - Kui!!!" Jia Shao roared and her legs were faster than the sound of her voice. When Fang Qing Kui lifted her head, she could only see the door cracking up similar to the web of a spider.

The shattered glass instantly fell to the ground and Fang Qing Kui was looking at her from the center of the crowd. It was indeed rare to see Fang Qing Kui without any expression but only laughing out slyly. "Haha......our leading lady is here."

The group of people turned around and almost in unison......."Yi........"

They looked at Jia Shao and then looked at the huge poster at the door, then looked at Jia Shao again. It seems their eyes were dragged by invisible hands moving back and forth.

"As everyone can see, this photo is a photoshoot taken in our studio 'Golden Sunflower' and the model is here. To commemorate our third-year anniversary, this is the first time our studio is offering a discount of 10% and tomorrow, our prices will return to normal........" Fang Qing Kui did not let go of the chance to push for sales. A lot of the women were already moved by the offer judging by the expressions on their faces.

The handsome woman ran her fingers through her hair and ignored the stares trained on her. She directly pushed into the crowd and pulled out Fang Qing Kui. Her furious eyes were shooting fire sparks.

"What the hell are you doing? You dare to take my picture sneakily while I was changing my clothes? And you even released the huge picture of me in my naked state?"

Fang Qing Kui shrugged her shoulders innocently. "I also don't know, ah..... Maybe that day while you were changing, you did not shut down your camera properly. When I saw it by accident, the photo was already in the camera. Anyway, the photo is very good. Look at the good response this advertisement had attracted."

"Take it down!" Jia Shao said fiercely.

Fang Qing Kui looked at the huge poster with eyes full of appreciation. "Do you know that the number of customers who came today had already surpassed the number of appointments gathered over the last three days? It is a loss to take it down. Allow me to put it up for three more days and I will give you an extra $30,000."

"If you don't take it down, I will destroy 'Golden Sunflower'!" Jia Shao's voice did not give her any room for discussion. Her eyes darted around the place and rested on the small tea table that Fang Qing Kui had recently bought. Her lips curved into a weird smile and lifting her legs, she rushed over to the small tea table.

The hem of her clothes was quickly grabbed by Fang Qing Kui and her fingers were raised in front of Jia Shao. "$50,000......three days......just three days!"

"He, he......." The smile on Jia Shao's face was extremely fake. She shook her head firmly under the gaze of Fang Qing Kui's shining eyes. "If you still won't take it down, you will lose more than a table and I will not be responsible for any compensation."

"One day!!! " Fang Qing Kui was unwilling to give up and held up her index finger in front of Jia Shao. "Only one day!"

"The camera is mine. Do you really think I am brainless? You even dare to set me up. I will settle with you later." Jia Shao raised the food box in her hand and said. "By the time I have finished my breakfast and if you still have not taken down the picture, I will help you to renovate 'Golden Sunflower."

Jia Shao held her food box and leisurely walked upstairs while Fang Qing sighed lightly. Her fingers flew over the keys of the calculator and muttered to herself. "There is a sudden increase of 20 orders and the profit earned is at least $60,000. If you don't allow me to hang up the picture then I will have to find ways to recover my loss."

However, Jia Shao did not get to hear this. While she was having her breakfast, she was massaging the big lump on her forehead distractedly.

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

*Dong!* A muffled sound and Jia Shao's face suddenly slammed on the windscreen.

"Ao!........" She held a hand up to her forehead and screamed.

A pair of hands quickly rested on her shoulders. "Let me take a look."

The miserable person had a distorted expression. "Dead Vet! Do you know how to drive?" But because she trusted the professionalism of the person, she still turned her face to let him do a brief check.

Her hand which was covering her forehead was pulled down by him and he stretched out his index finger in front of her. "Tell me, how many is this?"

She glared at him and Jia Shao almost gave him a punch. "What do you mean? Do you think I am a kindergarten kid?"

In Zhen Lang's eyes, there were no teasing smiles and his eyes were flashing. "Answer me, how many?"

Rolling her eyes, Jia Shao answered reluctantly. "One."

The serious expression on his face finally relaxed a little and then he stretched out his fingers again. "How many is this?"

"V." Jia Shao smiled. "But I don't mind to twist them into S."

He let out a sigh of relief. "Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel nauseous and have the urge to vomit?"

"Yes!" Jia Shao answered seriously. Seeing Zhen Lang's taut expression, she slowly opened her mouth. "I am very full just after eating and you made me fall forward to hard, it would be surprising if I don't have the urge to vomit."

"This is the result of not fastening your seat belt." Zhen Lang placed his hand on her forehead. "I'll help you to rub it......just endure a little."

Just as he used strength to rub, Jia Shao gave a loud scream and she subconsciously shrank backward to attach her body tightly to the door.

"Don't dodge." Zhen Lang put up his hand. "Last time when you were practicing, you had hurt yourself numerous times. Are you telling me you can't endure this slight pain?

"I'm not afraid of pain. I'm just afraid you will take this opportunity to retaliate." Jia Shao looked at him and her body shrank again then unconsciously slid further down. "Hey, lighter!"

What is the biggest difference between a professional doctor and a non-professional's skill?

Jia Shao's answer is.......fast, accurate and deadly!

His action was quick, the position was accurate and his hand was deadly. His expression did not change the slightest and he kneaded the spot as if he was kneading the dough with force.

(This is a common practice for the Chinese. If someone is to fall or knock himself and as a result cause a lump or a swell, the swollen spot is normally massaged with force to disperse the blood clot so that the injury will heal faster. The swell can only be rubbed if the skin is not bruised.)

Jia Shao kept on withdrawing and Zhen Lang kept on moving forward. It was not known when the two people had created the situation whereby she had slid down the seat with the upper half of her body lying on the seat and his upper body was suspended over her. He supported himself with one hand to her side and the other hand massaged her forehead while breathing on her face, spraying hot air.

"Is it a little better?" Zhen Lang's face was just a few inches above her. From her point of view, there was a strange feeling in the situation.

His breath blew over her forehead and caressed her soft short hair. His black eyes were deep like pools and his faint male scent drifted into her nose. A scent she was familiar but with a little strangeness.

To say familiar is because she can clearly differentiate the male scent of Zhen Lang. To say strange is because at this moment she discovered that the scent of Zhen Lang is quite nice when he is close up.

"Vet, did you change your cologne?" She blinked her eyes with curiosity and sniffed.

"What?" Zhen Lang lifted his eyebrows out of habit and his sharp eyes looked more charming. His palms rested on her forehead and his movements became gentler.

A strand of hair fell in front of his forehead and swayed in sync with his movements. Jia Shao reached out her hand to push it away and her face showed a satisfactory expression. "Vet, pay more attention when you drive next time. Your driving skill really stinks."

Suddenly, he lowered his face that was suspended over hers and brought the distance between them closer to only three inches apart. Zhen Lang's smile became extremely ambiguous and his voice had turned hoarse. "What did you just say?"

Some invisible pressure made her breathing difficult and Jia Shao subconsciously shrank back but she could not retreat any further. Without any reason, her breathing quickened.

She poked a finger to his chest and pushed him away before she found her normal tone. "I said you're a bastard. Do you know how to drive? Do you want this old woman to teach you to drive a car?"

"I'm not asking you about this." He curved his lips into a smile. "Just now, did you ask me whether I am a virgin?"

"No!" Someone straightened her neck and would not admit. "You heard wrong."

"I heard wrong?" His voice was very magnetic and sounded very nice. Suddenly Jia Shao found her breathing had turned erratic and heavy.

A fist was swung straight to his face. "Move away. You are breathing in all of this old woman's air."

Her fist brushed past his face and only hit emptiness. Her sudden movement made her body lift and her forehead smacked into his hand again hitting the injured spot on her forehead. She screamed out in pain and fell back on the seat.

Zhen Lang smiled and used his palm to cover her injury then a rustle was heard.

Her legs quickly kicked out but space in the car was too confined. He quickly avoided her and then a muffled sound came from Jia Shao. Her knee had crashed against the glove compartment.

"Be honest." Zhen Lang pressed her knee down and he used his other hand to massage her forehead. This action made the two people glued to each other without any gaps and his upper body was now even closer to her.

She felt her breathing had become even more difficult. She opened her lips, sucked in her breaths and her chest was moving up and down.

Zhen Lang's eyes narrowed and his eyes became darker.

*Dong, dong, dong!*

Someone knocked heavily on the window three times and the two people looked up at the same time. They only saw a hand withdrawing and a note was immediately stuck to the window.........

~ The car is shaking, please go to your own garage. If it is really urgent, please move to the side. Thank you!

Jia Shao: "......!!!......"

Zhen Lang: "........."
