Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Chapter 218 - 196: Can I steal the groom when you get married?

She covered her eyes and waited for a while; the pain brought tears, causing her eyeliner to smudge and darken around her eyes, and her lipstick was all over her face.Once she rubbed her eyes and the pain eased, Shen Yiran said, "Go and wash off your makeup!"

Dudu immediately retorted, "Who do you think you are! You’re not anyone to me! I’ll do whatever I want!"

Shen Yiran’s voice turned severe, "Are you going or not?!"

Dudu immediately softened, pursed her lips, and said, "You have to wait for me outside then."

Shen Yiran simply looked down at her without nodding or saying no; Dudu knew his non-rejection was a reluctant agreement, so she hurried to the nearby girls’ restroom.

After she walked away, Shen Yiran faintly smiled, touched his neck, and found a bit of lipstick color on his fingers.

Facing her repeated [temptations] and [provocations], he really didn’t know how much longer he could hold himself back.

This girl, why is she so persistent? Even though he behaved so badly, to the point even he thought he went too far, yet she still insisted.

Sometimes he felt that he was not as good as her.

It’s because he loved her so much; that’s why he was so cautious, not wanting her to suffer even a bit, not even verbally.

"Su Bao!" She rushed over and hugged him from behind. Shen Yiran immediately put on a stern face and pulled her away.

Seeing her dress, he took off his jacket and threw it on her, "If you wear this kind of outfit next time, I’ll tell your dad."

"No way! I won’t wear it again next time!" If her dad knew, she probably wouldn’t be allowed out for a long time, and then she wouldn’t be able to find him.

Shen Yiran knew the best way to deal with her, watching her put on his jacket that just barely fit her.

Dudu shook the long sleeves, buttoning up while saying, "Su Bao, are you concerned about me?"

Shen Yiran ignored her question, turned around and said, "Be home before nine; I’ll call your father."

"Take me home!" Dudu ran up to him, grabbed his arm to stop him from leaving, "We still have unfinished business from this morning!"

Shen Yiran stopped, turned his head to look at her, and Dudu said, "It wasn’t my fault this morning! She was the one who cursed at me first! And I just lightly touched her; she fell on her own!"

He showed little change in expression upon hearing this, prompting Dudu to ask, "Don’t you believe me?!"

"I won’t pursue this matter."

"No way! You need to apologize! You were mean to me this morning."

Shen Yiran displayed impatience, looked fiercely at her, while Dudu sniffled, afraid he would again think she was troublesome. She murmured softly, "Fine, I won’t make you apologize this time, but next time, don’t be mean to me without knowing the facts..."

He didn’t respond, striding away with large steps. Dudu, unable to keep up in her high heels, tracked his path, identifying the location of his private room before sending him a text, "Remember to take me home."

Gu Qimiao saw Dudu enter, wearing a large men’s jacket, her heavy makeup removed, looking in good spirits, so she teased her, "What’s got you so happy after hanging out with your Su Bao?"

"Miaomiao, you’re so cheeky! By the way, will Brother Shen pick you up tonight?"

Gu Qimiao paused, "He probably will."

"Then tell him to come around nine; we need to leave by then."

Gu Qimiao nodded; she also needed to leave around that time, still adhering to her rule of sleeping by ten.

Nearing nine, Shen Yanchen did call, asked for the location and said he was driving over to pick her up.

Dudu couldn’t wait, said goodbye to Gu Qimiao and the others hastily, gave Shen Yiran a call, then stood by the door waiting for him.

The call didn’t go through; he hung up, but simultaneously came out, followed by several clients, exchanging pleasantries. Dudu curiously peeked into the private room, relieved to see no suspicious women inside.

As they descended, Shen Yanchen’s car hadn’t arrived yet. Dudu suggested waiting for Shen Yanchen to pick them up, but considering the rare harmony between Dudu and Shen Yiran, Gu Qimiao said, "It’s okay, he just called, he’ll be here soon, you guys go ahead."

Shen Yiran also saw the car approaching from a distance, said nothing, and pulled Dudu away gently; Dudu hopped away, waving goodbye to Gu Qimiao.

Worried Dudu might sprain her ankle in her high heels, Shen Yiran slowed his pace.

"Su Bao..."

Shen Yiran glanced at her, then looked forward again.

Dudu hooked her arm around his, kept looking up at him, "Will you marry her?"

"That’s not your business."

"Your business is mine; of course, it’s my business too. Can I crash your wedding?"

Shen Yiran’s face darkened; she continued with a light tone as if talking about something inconsequential, "When you get married, I’ll wear the most beautiful wedding dress to attend your wedding, just as if you were marrying me..."

"Su Yutong, you’re past the age of being unruly, you should grow up."

Dudu suddenly let go of his arm, lowered her head, and said softly, "I wish I never had to grow up, living in childhood forever would be so nice."

"You used to take care of me so well, I don’t understand why you’ve changed suddenly."

Shen Yiran exhaled through his nose, ignoring her sentimentality, quickened his pace toward the parking lot.

Dudu tightened her grip on the sleeves, watching his back, suddenly said, "I don’t want you to take me home anymore; I’ll go by myself."

Shen Yiran’s hand paused on the car door, he glanced at her, got into the car, started the engine, and drove away right in front of her.

Dudu’s eyes immediately welled up; she was foolish to think he would come back to comfort her...

Standing in the dark, eerie parking lot for a while, his car vanished from sight. She wiped away the tears, removed her high heels, bent down to carry them, and walked out barefoot.

Shen Yiran’s car circled around and stopped by the front door, he watched her as she came out.

The petite figure in his oversized jacket, walking along the street barefoot, looked like a child who snuck out in adult clothing and got lost.

He followed her, trailed a long distance behind, she wiped her tears as she walked, probably exhausted, she finally stopped at the roadside and hailed a taxi.

He followed her, watched her enter her home before he left.

Perhaps she feels sad now, but with time, she’ll forget him. She would have lots of boys around her who liked her, right?

Once she gives up, finds someone who loves her, marries and has kids, that’s the love and future she deserves.
