Chapter 189 False Pretenses (1)

Kerry Ye was silent for a moment and reached out his hand to embrace Venus Mu into his arms. “It’s
my fault. I can’t get rid of the monster in my mind.” Kerry said.

Venus knew what the monster he’s talking about. As Yan Chu’s role, she hurriedly said: “It doesn’t
matter. I can wait for you. If one day your wife comes back, I will turn around and leave. But during her
absence, I want to be there for you.”

“Thank you, Yan.” Kerry said dully. The only desire in his eyes faded.

Then Kerry and Venus returned to the private room one after the other. As soon as Xuan Chu saw
Venus, he found that her lips were abnormally red and somewhat swollen. Xuan knew at once what
they were going out for.

“I didn’t expect that Venus is so hot while she looks so pure. Good lenses, bad frames.” Xuan thought.

Venus noticed Xuan’s joking eyes and blushed. She pretended to bow her head to drink water to avoid
Xuan’s eyes.

After the guests and the host are thoroughly enjoying themselves, the banquet finally came to an end.

Kerry squeezed Venus’s hand secretly before letting her to get into the car.

After the car has moved off, Xuan teased Venus, “You are so reluctant to part with him. Shall I find an
excuse to send you back to Ye’s family again?”

Venus wanted to say “It’s none of your business”, but when she saw the driver, she didn’t say that.
“Brother, how can you say that about your sister?” Venus sharpened her voice and said.

Xuan drank a lot of wine and his mind was in a whirl. Xuan didn’t argue with her but just sat back lazily
in his chair. His stomach was full of wine and he felt terrible. “Look around to see if there’s anything to



eat. If there is, stop by and buy some for me.” Xuan said weakly.

“Haven’t you eaten anything?” Venus asked in surprise.

Xuan gave Venus a sideways look and said, “It’s because you said the wrong thing. I hate this kind of
sweet food.”

Venus laughed and said: “I really didn’t know what to say. And it’s the safest thing to say you eat
anything.”

“I am the son of Chu family. Am I so easily satisfied?”

Venus knew it’s her fault and she apologized immediately, “Well, it’s my fault. I remember there is a
congee restaurant with delicious food near the hotel. I’ll get you one later. What kind of porridge would
you like?”

Xuan preferred hot pot to congee. But he knew his stomach couldn’t take it anymore, so he had to
settle for the second best. “Anything that is not sweet. I still have a feeling of sweetness in my
stomach.” Xuan said.

“I see. I won’t buy sweet porridge.” Venus promised.

Sure enough, on the way back to the hotel, Venus saw the congee restaurant she had eaten there
before. Although it was close to midnight, the lights of the restaurant were still on and there were many
customers sitting inside.

Venus got off the car to buy porridge. Venus was afraid that what she bought was not to his taste, so
she bought three, porridge with shrimp, porridge with chicken and vegetables, and porridge with
preserved eggs and lean meat. She brought them back to the car in special insulated boxes.



When they arrived at the gate of the hotel, the driver went to park the car and there were only Xuan
and Venus. Driven by the alcohol, Xuan was a little unsteady on his feet. Venus had to help him to walk
into the hotel while carrying the bags of porridge.

“You don’t look fat. Why are you so heavy?” Venus muttered. Venus supported Xuan and walked
unsteadily into the hotel. After hearing what Venus said, Xuan deliberately leaned against her shoulder.

Finally they were outside the door of Xuan’s room and Venus was out of breath. “Where is your room
card?” Venus asked.

Xuan’s brain was not confused at that moment, but he wanted to tease Venus. “It’s in my pocket.” Xuan
said.

Without thinking, Venus reached into the nearest pocket. But it’s empty.

Summer clothes are very thin. Xuan felt the fingers of Venus through the clothes and a tingling came
over him. But as soon as he saw the face of Venus, he forced himself to close his eyes.

With the face of Yan, Xuan couldn’t think of anything. Xuan always had a sense of incest. Xuan
straightened himself up. He used his unoccupied hand to take out the room card and opened the door.

Venus helped him into the room and put down the porridge. Then she went to the water dispenser and
took a cup of warm water with a disposable paper cup.

“You have a stomachache. Take a sip of hot water first.” Venus said.

Xuan’s mouth was dry and he drank up the water in one gulp.

“I don’t know which porridge you like so I bought three. If you have an upset stomach, eat the porridge
before you go to bed.” Venus said. As she spoke, she took the porridge out of the bags and laid them
side by side on the table in front of him.



“I see. Just go back to your room.” Xuan said. Xuan was uncomfortable when he saw her face. His
sister wouldn’t be so polite to him and he felt out of place.

Venus was eager to leave. After hearing that, she hurried to the door. As soon as Venus opened the
door, Xuan thought of something and stopped her. “You guessed right at noon today. In the afternoon,
Kerry asked me what you like to eat. Maybe he is still suspicious of you. Be careful not to give yourself
away.” Xuan said.

Venus’s heart did a flip. She said “I know” and left.

She just said that out of the blue and she didn’t think it’s true. Kerry is too suspicious. Yan’s brother has
testified for Yan, but Kerry still didn’t believe that. Kerry is too confident in his instincts.

But Kerry had no proof. As long as Venus refused to admit it, there was nothing he could do.

No sooner had Kerry got home than he got a phone call from Henry.

“Sir Kerry, Miss Chu and Mr. Chu have arrived at the hotel. On their way back, Miss Chu went into a
congee restaurant and bought three porridge, and nothing else happened.” Henry said.

Kerry remembered that Xuan hadn’t eaten anything tonight. He felt weird. Didn’t Yan say Xuan likes
eating anything? The food in that restaurant is very good and why he just ate so little?

“Henry, go to find out what kind of food Xuan likes. Remember to do that secretly and not to be noticed
by others.” Kerry said.

“Yes, Sir Kerry.” Henry said.

Then Kerry dropped the phone and went into the bathroom. He took a shower and went to lie in bed.

Kerry also drank a lot of wine, but there was some sobriety in him.



Yan is the daughter of Chu family. She has a high status and she met all kinds of men. In addition, she
has had several boyfriends when she was abroad and each of them is excellent. How could she be so
devoted to Kerry? Kerry is very confident about his appearance and wealth, but they’re not enough to
attract Yan and make her willing to be a mistress.

It’s too ridiculous.

After thought about Yan, Venus and his child for a while, Kerry fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, dazed, Kerry picked up his phone to check the time and he saw a message that Henry
had sent in the wee hours of the morning. It says, Sir Kerry, I asked a lot of people in Hong Kong and
they said that Xuan likes to eat spicy food. Every time he goes out for hot pot, he orders the hottest.

After reading the message for at least three times, Kerry fell back on the bed with a smile.

All Xuan’s friends know that Xuan likes spicy food, but Yan doesn’t know that. That’s strange.

After smiling for a while, Kerry’s face clouded. If Yan is a fake, then what’s the purpose of her coming to
Kerry’s side? What’s the real reason that Chu family made so much effort to hide that and even sent
Xuan to testify her?

What is it about the Ye family that attracted their attention?

After much thinking, Kerry only thought of the damaged treasure map.

In fact, if someone wants to trade Venus for the treasure map, Kerry will agree without hesitation. He is
not interested to the treasure map.

……



After having breakfast in the hotel, Venus met the men of Xuan. Venus nodded to greet them. She
couldn’t help wondering why Xuan hasn’t got up yet.

Judging from the way he works, he doesn’t seem to be a man hates to get out of bed. Did he drink too
much wine last night and he couldn’t get up?

Confused, Venus came to Xuan’s room and knocked the door. There was no response.

Was he really not up yet?

Venus didn’t want to care about that and went back to her room. Venus played her phone for a while
and the sun rose higher and higher. Then there came the call of Shixuan Tang and Venus got it
through.

“Miss Chu, have you seen Mr. Chu?” Shixuan asked tentatively.

“No. He drank a lot of wine last night and he might still be sleeping.” Venus said.

“Well, there were some key issues that were not resolved at the meeting yesterday, and today the
supplier will come to negotiate. The appointment is at ten o’clock. It’s half past nine and Mr. Chu have
not come yet. I just called him, but his phone is powered off. Miss Chu, can you go to Mr. Chu’s room to
see if he is there? Usually, he can go back to normal the next day no matter how much wine he drinks
the day before…”Shixuan said anxiously.
