Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 88

After walking along the riverside for more than ten minutes, Wendy noticed that he always kept a distance from the river.

Thinking of that she had once taken him out of the river, she tilted her head to look at him and ask, "You really don't know how to swim?"

"Yes." Charlie nodded. He kept silent for two seconds and added, "When I was a child, I got drowned by accident."

So it left him a shadow?

"Where did you get drowned?" Wendy blinked with curiosity.

"The bathtub." Charlie said in a deep voice.

Wendy wanted to control her expression, but she failed.

Although he was a child at that time, he had been afraid of water since he was drowned in the bathtub, which was so inconsistent with his current role, the CEO of a big company.

Charlie narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth, "Stop laughing!"

Wendy tried hard to hold back her laughter, but she was totally out of control. He pulled her into his arms with a dark face and kissed her deeply, swallowing all her laughter, "I said stop."

"Okay, okay..." Wendy kept nodding her head and looked around to see if there was anyone else who noticed them.

Here was different from the city. If anyone saw their intimate behaviors, they could not go out for the next few days, because people would gossip about them.

After letting go of her, Charlie stood still. The cigarette in his hand was almost burnt to the end of the sponge, but he didn't smoke it again. He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Uh, what are you looking at?" Wendy was puzzled.

Charlie glanced at her lazily and said slowly, "I'm researching a good place to s*x outdoors."

"..." Wendy almost jumped up.

"But no good place here." Charlie said with a slight pity in his tone.

Why this man always thought about s*x!

Wendy couldn't talk with him anymore. Looking at the smoke rising from the bungalow not far away, she changed the topic in a hurry, "Let's go back. We’ ve been out for a long time. I’m worried about grandma when she was alone at home!"

When they returned home, grandma had taken medicine and fallen asleep.

Wendy looked at the time and began to prepare lunch. She brought two kinds of vegetables from the kitchen to the yard and started to deal with them.

She carried a small stool and sat on it. She always felt that someone was moving at the door. It seemed that he was secretly looking inside. Wendy frowned, but she didn't think much about it. Most of the people in the countryside were familiar with each other. Maybe they just looked around curiously when passing by, especially when there was a big car parked in front of the door, which was really attractive.

After dealing with the vegetables, she washed them up and went to the kitchen.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

When she looked up inadvertently, she saw Charlie leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen. He was very tall and it seemed that he would reach the doorframe if he raised his head a little higher.

Wendy cut all the vegetables and looked up, only to find that his eyes were still fixed on her.

It seemed that because there were only the two of them in the kitchen, his eyes were completely focused on her.

Under his gaze, Wendy really couldn't be herself. She almost put the wrong seasonings into the pot several times. Finally, after frying the vegetables, she added some water and covered the pot with a wooden lid. She checked the cabinet and said, "There's no soy sauce. I'm going to buy one!"

But when she got up, she was worried again. The wood- burning stove, unlike the gas or electric cooker, needed someone to add firewood from time to time.

"Charlie, can you help me look at the stove?" Wendy had to turn to the only living thing in the kitchen.

"Okay." Charlie didn't refuse and walked over.

Wendy handed him a fan, brought a small stool for him, pointed at the stove and said, "You can sit here. If the fire begins to die down, you can fan like this, and then add some firewood..."

"Got it." Charlie nodded.

Wendy stepped out of the kitchen and couldn't help looking back.

Charlie was tall and big. He needed to stoop when he was sitting on a small stool. Wearing a suit and holding a fan, he looked a bit funny. He frowned slightly and fanned the stove like an obedient boy.

She couldn't believe that she dared to let a CEO do such kind of thing!

Wendy worried he would be unhappy, so she walked quickly. There were many people in the grocery. She took a bottle of soy sauce and went to the checkout. Before she could get the changes back, someone patted her on the shoulder, "Wendy? You're grown up. I haven’t recognized you just now!"

"Yes, it's me, Aunty Chiu." Wendy smiled.

"I heard that you have a boyfriend in the city. Is the car parked at your door his?"

Wendy was a little embarrassed. Aunty Chiu asked loudly, so many people in the grocery stared at them.

She nodded and answered, "Uh, yes..."

"Wendy!" Aunty Chiu paused and continued, "I have taken care of you for a few days when you were a child. I must remind you that that you can't do what the girl of the Cheung family has done..."

"She must find a sugar daddy, just the same as the girl of the Cheung family!" Before Aunty Chiu could finish her words, other voices from the villagers came over.

Wendy had no choice but to explain, "No, I didn't..."

However, it seemed that no one listened to her, and they had their conclusions. Someone added, "You’re right. I have seen the big car which costs at least one million! How can an ordinary person afford it!"

"Why must she learn from the girl of the Cheung family? Her so called ‘boyfriend’ must have been married and had kids!"

"Nowadays, girls are willing to get what they want without doing any hard work. She doesn’t care about whether you have a family or not. She can accept a boyfriend at her father’s age. The only thing she cares about is money!"

In the countryside, any trifle could cause a stir.

The speed of the gossip spread was as fast as the weed grew. People liked to gather together to gossip. Wendy tired of their sarcastic words and wanted to leave silently, but they were so excited. How could they let her leave? They all wanted to teach her how to be a ‘good’ girl.

"You should break up with your boyfriend right now. The Cheung family still feels shameful nowadays!"

"That's right. Have you thought about your grandma’ s feeling?"

Wendy heard more and more critical words which made her ears buzzing.

Even if she told herself not to take their words seriously, her mood would inevitably be affected. She clenched her hands tightly. As the soy sauce bottle was about to explode, a quiet male voice suddenly came from behind, "Why do you take so long to buy a bottle of soy sauce?"

He didn't raise his voice intentionally, but no one could ignore him.

Everyone in the grocery was silent and looked at him.

The sunlight shined through the window onto Charlie's face. His well-built figure was wrapped in a suit. He looked like a towering mountain, steady and unflappable. He had an imposing aura, and he automatically turned everything around him into his background.

Charlie walked straight to her and took the soy sauce bottle from her hand.

"What's wrong?" He asked with a frown when he noticed that she didn’t look good.

Charlie's appearance stopped the gossips. No one could say a word now.

All of a sudden, Wendy didn't want to waste time here anymore. She got closer to him, reached out one hand to hold his arm, and said in a soft voice, "It's okay. Let's go home for lunch!"

She ignored everyone else and led him out of the grocery.

Charlie raised his eyebrows in silence. He lowered his head and looked at her hand. They were intimate, and she was sweet.

Just like... his wife.
