Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Plantation Plan 13_1

He Teng had just looked around. Although it was a two-bedroom, there was only one bedroom with a bed. The other room was likely used as a study by the previous occupant, filled with nothing but a bookshelf, a desk, and a chair unfit for sleeping.

"No way!" He Zhilan firmly opposed. She swiftly ran to grab He Teng’s luggage and clung onto it, saying, "This place is so large, and I’m unfamiliar with the surroundings. I’d be scared if I lived here alone!"

"What’s there to be frightened of? Even Jennifer is a woman, and she isn’t scared living alone downstairs," He Teng said. "I’ve looked around, and the environment here is pretty good. The residents here all work in offices."

"She’s her, and I’m me. I’m a scaredy-cat, and I’m terrified. If you’re not staying with me here, then I’m going with you to the guesthouse!" He Zhilan stubbornly insisted. She was joking; she finally had a chance to be alone with him. Would she be foolish enough to let He Teng go to the guesthouse alone and not see him for a long time?

Right now, in S Province, it was just her and He Teng. He Zhilan’s plan was to take advantage of this time to bond with He Teng. Even if she had to throw tantrums and act like a child, she wouldn’t let He Teng move into the guesthouse alone.

He Teng massaged his temples, "Zhilan, we’re divorced. Living together repeatedly will harm your reputation."

"No one knows us in S Province, what is there to fear? Besides, if I’m not worried, why are you? Anyway, you have to stay with me here!" As she spoke, He Zhilan carried He Teng’s luggage directly into the bedroom and hung all his clothes in the closet.

"I may not come back every day; perhaps I’ll only come back every three to five days, or once in ten days or half a month. Won’t you still be living here alone?" He Teng scratched his head. He wanted to snatch his things back, but as soon as he reached out, He Zhilan turned around and looked at him, her eyes wide and red.

"Anyway, I want you to stay. Even if you’re not here, seeing your things makes me feel secure! If you dare to object, I’ll tell dad you bullied me!" He Zhilan could cry at the drop of a hat. She began sobbing pitifully, "Isn’t it nice that we’re like this? Sleeping together, doing nothing wrong. Even after the divorce, I’m still your sister! Don’t I deserve your protection?"

He Zhilan’s trump card was her father. If she claimed that He Teng was bullying her, her father could capture He Teng without asking for any explanations and lecture him until he apologized.

However, He Zhilan was just saying these things; she wouldn’t seriously report him to her father who lived far away from home and cause worries between him and He Teng.

He Teng knew He Zhilan wouldn’t really rat him out, but he felt helpless when she gripped his belongings and refused to let go. Should he snatch them back? He suspected she could cry like a baby, and seeing her pitiful face, he couldn’t gather up the strength to do so.

He Teng felt more and more that he was entirely under He Zhilan’s control.

"Fine, have it your way." He Teng put his hands behind his back. "Go wash your face and rest early! I’ll get up before dawn tomorrow. If I’m not back by seven or eight in the evening, don’t wait up for me."

"Okay!" He Zhilan’s face changed in an instant; one second she was crying, and the next she was grinning. She fluttered over to the bathroom to wash her face, then rapidly ran back to the bedroom. After she changed into her pyjamas, she clambered onto the bed before He Teng.
