The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 37

Susan asked, "Is this even drinkable?" 'These things are aphrodisiacs! Who's to know what happens if a girl drinks it?’

Julian looked at her with a smile. "What do you think?"

Speechless, she took a deep breath and said as if she was staring at death in the eye, "I’ll drink it!"

"Good!" Julian grinned widely and fed the entire bowl o f soup to Susan.

After drinking all of the soup, she slumped on the sofa, feeling like a piece of salted fish. She could not even turn her body!

Moreover, the medicinal herbs that Madam Shaw brought her were potent. She was feeling so energetic that she felt like running 3 kilometers outside.

Julian had already taken a cold shower by then. He looked at Susan, who was paralyzed on the sofa, and a trace of an evil smile flashed in his eyes. "Mrs. Shaw, how’s it? How do you feel?"

"I feel great!” she replied stubbornly.

"Really? I don’t think so." Julian revealed a devilish smile at the corner of his mouth. 1

He walked over and lifted Susan up and tossed her on the bed. Then, he turned around and started removing

his clothes.

"Wh-what are you doing?" She became nervous again.

He took off his bathrobe, clad only in his underwear. Then he took out a deck of poker cards.

"What are the cards for?" Susan was stunned. She thought...

He looked at her disgustedly. "Where do you want to g o? Susan, can you have purer thoughts?"

Susan wanted to cry but no tears could come out. She guaranteed that she was really pure. It was his actions that made her misunderstand him...

"Then, why did you take off your clothes?" She was still not satisfied.

"It's too hot, huh? Can I help dissipate some heat?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Okay..." She was annoyed. "Then, the poker...”

"Can you sleep?" He looked at her intensely.

"No!" She felt like her energy could last the entire night.

"So, let's play cards. Since there are 2 of us, let’s play 2 4 Game. The one who finishes calculating first wins. The one who loses the most times will have a little tortoise drawn on the back of their hand which cannot be erased or deliberately hidden!" Julian said calmly.

Susan was suddenly in high spirits."Don't blame me for not reminding you that I'm an expert in this. When I was young, I never lost to any of the other kids."

Speaking of 24 Game, Susan’s eyes subconsciously sparkled with a trace of memory. When her parents were still alive, they had stayed at Lin County. At that time, she got to know a childhood friend, a very skinny boy.

The boy's family was quite wealthy, so he stayed in a huge bungalow and had 4 or 5 bodyguards with him.

She had gotten to know him when she crawled through the bungalow's dog flap while playing.

Susan was a wild child when she was young. After getting to know this boy, she took him to steal eggs from a tree and catch fish in the stream, and they had tremendous fun.

24 Game was one of their frequent games. Initially, she was afraid that she would lose due to her stupidity. However, that boy had been even dumber than her. Therefore, she never lost a game to him.

It was a pity that after the boy moved, her parents had an accident which changed her life entirely. Then, she left Lin County. After that, they never saw each other again.

However, they made a promise to each other before separating. No matter where they were, they would go back to their secret base after 20 years.

When she thought about it carefully, the promised date was near.

As Julian saw her reminiscing, his gaze became gentle. His past memories were precious to him, and h e believed that they were precious to her too. 1
