You Were My Only One

Chapter 18 Just Pretend To Be My Wife

Scarlet Song never thought the day when she would be stared in the spotlight by several business magnates at the same time, and she stood nervously, awkwardly in a dilemma.

The only person in the room she knew, and was even remotely familiar with, was Harry Shen, and she looked at him for help, hoping he would say something to ease the awkward situation. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Harry Shen, with a cigarette between his fingers, sat with his back to the light and the smoke all over him, unable to see his face clearly. He said nothing, but stared quietly at her. The eyes were deep and seemed to suck her in.

Scarlet didn’t expect him to turn his back on her, so she was angry and scratched her head,“I’m sorry to bother you. I want to take my bag and I’m leaving right away,”she says awkwardly.

Mr.Bi was anxious to see Harry ignore Scarlet or introduce her, and he was more sure they were havings. He winked so hard at Scarlet that his eyes almost cramped but she ignored him.

As she walked towards Harry, Yuntao Bi acted as a peacemaker, saying,“Scarlet, we are looking forward to meeting you, so don’t leave. Harry, say something.”

The other three looked at each other and knew that the two of them must have quarreled, and seeing Harry’s face as black as a pot. No wonder he just played cards with a absent-minded look.

“You understood, I’m not his wife.” Scarlet was honest, and she couldn’t let them understand her relationship with Harry.

Little did she know that, far from clarifying her relationship with Harry Song, her statement only added to the misunderstanding. It seemed to them that this was not a simple quarrel, a serious one between husband and wife, which might lead to a divorce.

Jing Yue quickly pulled Yuntao who wanted to stop the quarrel and shook head to him.

Scarlet walked over to Harry, who didn’t see her bag and was about to ask about it when Harry suddenly grabbed her wrist. He made a slight movement, and she fell down beside him. She sprang to her feet, a great strong palm clasped round her waist, so that she could not move.

Scarlet stiffened, subconsciously reaching out to push him away as the crisp masculine scent mingled with fresh cigarette smoke enveloped her.

“Still angry with me, eh? Harry was suddenly close to her ear, low enough for everyone in the room to hear.

Hearing the words, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The hot breath fell beside her ears, and Scarlet shivered. Her ears instantly flushed and a rush of shame came over her. She struggled, but no matter how much she resisted, he would not move. Instead, he held her closer.

“You let me go! They would be mistaken." Scarlet yowled with low voice. She looked up at him, and he was staring down at her, too.

Harry looked at her with a dull expression and a deep complex look, as if there was nothing wrong with them holding each other like this. Scarlet’s heart beat violently fast. He was too bold and reckless. If his friends knew that they were the relationship between uncle and niece, and in-laws, how was she ever going to be seen again?

Scarlet thought, struggling even harder.

Harry took a quite and casual look at the other four interested people in the room, and hold it close to her ear and threatened: “If you struggle again, I'll kiss you right here right now.”
