Power and Wealth

Chapter 1321: I am getting the ropes

Noon.

Zhong Lizhen’s apartment.

Dong Xuebing could only use force since talking did not work.

Dong Xuebing carried Zhong Lizhen and kicked open the bedroom door. He carried China’s youngest female general in. She was a general because of her research. Her combat power is nothing compared to him. Zhong Lizhen could only stare at Dong Xuebing angrily. But he does not care. This was not the first time he carried her. He carried in Florida for a few hours.

Bedroom.

The room was the same.

A bed, a bookshelf, a study table, and nothing else. It was much better compared to the living room.

This should be Professor Zhong’s bedroom.

Dong Xuebing felt the softness of Professor Zhong’s body. He dared not carry her for too long and placed her on the bed. They had body contact on the plane, and he had touched her legs and thighs. He glanced at her breasts bouncing when he placed her on the bed. It’s so seducing.

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat.

Zhong Lizhen sat up and said. She tried to get off the bed. “Stay out of my business.”

“No!” Dong Xuebing pressed her shoulders and made her lie on the bed. He grabbed the blanket and covered her. “You must rest.”

“My work is not done.”

“You can do it tomorrow.”

“I need it tomorrow morning. Let go of me.”

“I can let go of you. But you must eat medicine, and I will prepare food. We will talk after you eat, or don’t even think of leaving this room.”

“How can you do this? You…”

“I am responsible for your health.”

“I don’t need you to be responsible for anything. I must calculate the data first.”

“You saw my combat abilities and should know what will happen. You cannot leave this room even if I cannot move one arm.”

Zhong Lizhen kept quiet. She was mad.

Dong Xuebing ignored her and looked around the bedroom. He found a thermometer and passed it to her. “Professor Zhong.”

Zhong Lizhen ignored him.

“Take your temperature first.” Dong Xuebing pushed the thermometer to her.

He felt awkward to call her Aunt Zhong and preferred to address her as Professor Zhong.

Zhong Lizhen did not move and looked at Dong Xuebing.

“We can wait if you don’t want to take your temperature.” Dong Xuebing sat on the bed with the thermometer. “My flight is tomorrow, and I got nothing to do today. I can wait for you. This is an order from my Mum, and I must complete it.”

Zhong Lizhen sighed a few seconds later and sat up.

“Hey, I said so much.” Dong Xuebing pressed her shoulders and said. “Why can’t you listen?”

Zhong Lizhen pushed his hands away. “I am still wearing my heels. I want to take them off.”

Dong Xuebing let go of her. He did not notice she was still wearing her shoes when he carried her to the bed and covered her with the blanket. Zhong Lizhen pushed the blanket away, showing her feet. Her heels had dirtied the blue bedsheets.

Zhong Lizhen took off her heels.

One heel…

Two heels…

The heels were thrown on the floor.

Dong Xuebing was sorry and patted off the sheets' dirt when Zhong Lizhen threw her heels off the bed. He lifted his head and looked up her skirt. She raised her legs to remove her heels, and her skirt was pulled up. She wore a knee-length skirt under her long gown. She was showing everything under her skirt to Dong Xuebing. He saw the top of her stockings, and it made him blush.

Zhong Lizhen put down her legs and looked at him.

Dong Xuebing quickly looked away, pretending not to see anything.

“Thermometer.” Zhong Lizhen extended her hand. “Hurry. I got work to do.”

“Ok.” Dong Xuebing passed the thermometer to her. The temperature indicated in the thermometer is around 35 degrees Celsius.

Zhong Lizhen opened her gown and unbuttoned the blouse's top button. She pushed the thermometer under her clothes.

Blue color…

She was wearing a blue bra.

Although Zhong Lizhen was fast, Dong Xuebing glimpsed her bra. He picked up her heels and placed them neatly by the bed.

Zhong Lizhen placed the thermometer under her armpit and closed her eyes to rest.

Dong Xuebing knew Zhong Lizhen was angry. After all, she is the country’s leading researcher, and the research center leaders must seek her opinions. She specialized in many fields and had been dealing with data all her life. These factors made her do whatever she wanted and seldom listen to others. Her life was only research and work. But Dong Xuebing forcefully interrupted her work and forced her to listen to him.

But Dong Xuebing had no choice.

This was for her health. Dong Xuebing cares for Zhong Lizhen. They had gone through life-and-death situations and were friends. He must do all he can to care for her.

One minute…

Two minutes…

Three minutes…

Zhong Lizhen reached for the thermometer.

Dong Xuebing quickly held her soft wrist. “Wait for five minutes. It might not be accurate now.”

“It’s done.”

“No. Wait a while.”

“I always take three minutes to take my temperature.”

“No. You must listen to me today.”

Dong Xuebing knew it was useless to reason with her. He must be firm with her. He saw Zhong Lizhen trying to take the thermometer, and he held both her hands.

“Let go!”

“Two more minutes…”

Zhong Lizhen inhaled deeply, and her lips were trembling.

Dong Xuebing ignored her. “Your hands are burning. You must have a fever. I need to know your temperature now.”

Five minutes is up.

Dong Xuebing let go of Zhong Lizhen’s hands.

Zhong Lizhen massaged her wrists and reached under her blouse for the thermometer. The collar of her blouse was opened, and Dong Xuebing saw her dark blue bra again. It has no lace or patterns. He sat down, afraid she would catch him peeping at her.

Zhong Lizhen looked at the thermometer and said. “37 degrees Celcius. I don’t have a fever.” She wore her heels. “I am going back to work.”

Dong Xuebing said. “Let me see.”

“I told you the readings. I don’t have a fever.”

“No. You must show me the readings.”

Zhong Lizhen refused and put on one heel.

Dong Xuebing stopped her from leaving and snatched the thermometer. He looked at the mercury line on it.

Damn!

37 degrees Celcius?

Dong Xuebing was speechless and waved the thermometer in front of her. “Do you think you can fool me? No fever? Your temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius!

“It’s not high.”

“Not high? You are burning right now.”

“It’s not that serious. It is not 39 degrees Celcius yet.”

“It will be if you don’t rest.”

“I did not say I am not going to rest. I got to calculate a set of important data. I will rest after I am done. You should go back.”

“You want me to leave?”

Zhong Lizhen puts on her second heel.

Dong Xuebing was mad. He bent over and took off one of her heels.

“What are you doing?” Zhong Lizhen protested.

Dong Xuebing ignored her and took off the other heel. “Nothing. You must listen to me today.”

Dong Xuebing threw the heels away from the bed.

He was kneeling before Zhong Lizhen and could smell her womanly scent from under her skirt.

But Dong Xuebing did not think much. He grabbed Zhong Lizhen’s legs and pushed them under the blanket.

“I will get some medicine for you.”

“I don't need anyone else to take care of me.”

“Fine. If you refuse to listen, I will get a rope to tie you up. Don’t force me to do that.” Dong Xuebing threatened.

Zhong Lizhen was mad, but she stopped struggling after a while.
