Chapter 178 Would Another Kiss Do

"Jacob?" Emily tentatively called his name. She continued,"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to look for
Tina without informing you, but I only reacted to the urgency of the moment... Jacob? Jacob, why aren't
you answering me?"

Displeased, Jacob gave her a cold look and made her contemplate her mistakes.

"I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay? Jacob? Mr. Gu..." she pleaded.

"You're always ready to apologise, but you're not willing to change," he said. Jacob gritted his teeth with
disappointment and said,"Do you always have to wait until it's too late for you to realize that you are
wrong?"

His words disheartened Emily, but she knew he was right. Jacob's unwavering concern for her safety
filled her heart with warmth and affection. She reached out to embrace him, but Jacob pushed her
away. "I know I was wrong..." assured Emily.

"Don't hug me. Go hug your parents," replied Jacob.

However, Emily ignored him. She reached out again for his arm. This time Jacob did not push her way.
"Don't be so mad at me. Why are you jealous of my parents? They gave birth to me and raised me. I
should care about them," said Emily.

"Then, what about me?" asked Jacob.

"You are different from them," she replied.

Jacob raised his eye-brows and looked at the little one in his arms with scepticism. He asked,"How am
I different from them?"



When Emily realized that Jacob's anger was dissipating, she pouted her lips and said,"You are my one
and only."

"..." Jacob's heart started beating like a drum in his chest. "Dong, dong, dong..." The beating was so
loud and vibrant. Jacob felt like his heart was going to pop out.

Damn, how could he be softened by this woman's sweet one-liners every time?

The next second, she slipped her arms around his neck, and pressed her pink lips against his. Her kiss
was soft and comforting in ways words couldn't express.

Sam who was in the driver's seat, was surprised by their sudden show of intimacy. He silently raised
the partition to give them privacy.

"Do you think this is enough?" he asked. Jacob was still stiff and expressionless, as Emily couldn't find
a single change in his facial expression.

Emily bent her head and thought for a moment, then she said,"Well, would another kiss do?"

She was just... so...cute!

Jacob felt weakened by her charms. He felt like his masculinity would be questioned, if he continued to
pretend to be a gentleman!

The next moment, he slammed his lips to Emily's, nearly knocking all the wind from her lungs. Emily
hardly had a moment to react, before he pressed his tongue to the seam of her lips and delved inside
her mouth. Her arms reached up and tangled around his thick, strong neck. She moaned to the contact
of his body heat against her own...

When they broke apart to breathe, Emily rested her head on his chest and asked,"Are you still mad at
me?"



"Of course, I am still angry," he replied.

Emily, put on a stern expression at once and said,"I feel like I am losing out."

"Losing out?" said Jacob, amused. He pinched her cheeks hard and said,"It is you who enticed me
first. But, if you feel like you are losing out, you can kiss me back if you like."

"I don't want to," she said. Emily flushed, having realized that her tricks were not going to help her this
time. In an act of desperation, she said,"I know I was wrong. I really do. From now on, I'll listen to
everything you say, okay?"

After a few second, Jacob responded in a low voice,"Everything?"

"Yes, yes," she replied, as she nodded, like a chicken pecking up rice.

"Okay," said Jacob. A glimmer of darkness flashed under his eyes, as Jacob lifted his thin lips lightly
and said,"If you ever put yourself in danger like this again, I will break your legs and lock you up for the
rest of your life. Perhaps then you wouldn't be able to go anywhere."

"Oh..." gasped Emily. Seeing the expression on Jacob's face, Emily concluded that... She might have
jumped into a big pit.

The first thing on their agenda after getting off the car was to go to the hotel and make Emily's parents
change into something less dirty and smelly. The second, was to go out for dinner with them.

After such a strenuous day, the Bai couple finally felt calm and relieved. Having spent such a hectic
day, and they had not been able to eat properly for a few days, as soon as they saw the food on the
table, their eyes lit up like hungry tigers.

However, they were intimidated by Jacob's towering presence in front of them. They were
subconsciously afraid of seeming unsophisticated, and were very cautious in doing everything,



including picking dishes.

Noticing their predicament, Emily decided to ease the tense atmosphere. She said,"Dad, Mum. Let me
introduce you to my boyfriend, Jacob Gu."

Mrs. Bai couldn't help her eyes from peeking at Jacob. She quickly retracted her eyes and asked,"Gu?"

Emily's mother had not forgotten about Emily's rich ex-boyfriend, Jack. Although, the man in front of her
seemed better than Jack, she was alarmed by the fact that they were both surnamed Gu. However, this
man had a daunting aura about him, that made people afraid to look at him for a long time.

Emily was somewhat embarrassed, but she didn't think she had to hide anything. So she said,"Well...
He is Jack's uncle."

"Oh... In this case..." Mrs. Bai didn't dare to pass any comments in front of Jacob. However, deep down
in her heart, she was happy that her daughter was lucky enough to meet someone better than her
previous boyfriend...

While Jacob was looking at Emily's parents expressionlessly. There were no emotions in his eyes. If
they had not been Emily's parents, he would not have given them another second of his time.

Addicted to gambling, always lying, driven by selfishness and greed, and they treated Emily like dirt...
The couple were so greedy. They only cared about themselves. How would they treat Emily with
sincerity? Only people like Emily would be innocent enough to fall for their treachery.

Astounded, Jacob wondered how a couple like them could give birth to such a pure and innocent girl
like Emily? As parents, they did not deserve a daughter like Emily. Evidently, they wouldn't even flinch
before putting Emily in danger to feed their selfishness!



During the whole meal, Jacob did not say anything to Mr. and Mrs. Bai. Although, he despised them
and found it hard to even sit through one dinner with them, he promised Emily that he would be nice to
them, even if it caused him displeasure.

In the end, Jacob still couldn't forgive them for putting Emily in danger!

In the middle of the dinner, Jacob went out to answer a phone call. Finally, The Bai couple breathed a
sigh of relief. Emily's father took the chance and devoured his food, as if he had never eaten food
before in his life.

"Dad, eat slowly. Nobody is going to take your food away from you," whispered Emily. She was afraid
that her father would choke on his own food.

"Do you know what kind of life we are living..." said Mr. Bai. Emily's father was on the verge of losing
his temper, but the thought of Jacob made him more conscious of his attitude. He restrained himself
and said,"Let me be!"

"Well, let him be," said Mrs. Bai. Emily's mother had had enough. She took Emily's hands into hers,
with tears in her eyes and said,"Emily, you don't know how Tina treated us..."

She told the story intermittently and deliberately concealed the truth behind Tina's real identity. Emily's
father wanted to get a word in, but Emily's mother stepped on his foot secretly to shut him up.

Emily's father mulled it over, and then decided to listen to Emily's mother first.

Emily's eyes widened with shock when she heard how Tina had tortured her parents. "How dare she
treat you like that! She's an animal! It's all my fault. If I had been more cautious, you would not have
suffered like that..." said Emily angrily.
