MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 72

Adrian had slept with Henry’s fiancee, and the former friends became rivals in love.

The relationship between Mr. Shi and Vivian had been rekindled, and Mrs. Shi’s status was in jeopardy.

Two hot events instantly caught John’s attention. However, right now, he was not in the mood to pay attention to the matter regarding Henry and Adrian. He clicked on the news related to himself. John took a rough glance at the picture and saw that Vivian was wearing his coat. He frowned.

“Remove the news that is not in accordance with facts and ask the legal department to file charges against the media outlets responsible for spreading the rumor,” John instructed and gave the phone back to Richard. He was always efficient as he was in handling matters.

After a pause, John added, “Also, ask Vivian to buy the whole brand since she wore the coat.”

Richard was expecting the first two things that John mentioned. However, the third one shocked him.

The brand that John wore were all customized for him and only him. If someone wanted to buy the whole brand, at least hundreds of millions of dollars would be needed.

‘Is Mr. Shi trying to punish Vivian?’ he wondered.

The PR department of Time Group was tough and efficient. As soon as John gave the order, they announced on Weibo, “Congratulations, Miss Vivian Ye! You’ve bought the clothing brand that customized clothes for Mr. Shi at the price of 130 million dollars yesterday afternoon. Please make the payment as soon as possible.”

These words caused great uproar on the Internet.

This post became the new trending topic.

The online users were all stunned.

It seemed that John was asking his money on the Internet.

The netizens were busy expressing their opinions. As they discussed heatedly about the relationship between John and Vivian, Time Group sued the media outlets.

It was warning to the media who helped forward the news. The ones who spread the rumor, received calls from their bosses. They had to work overnight, busying deleting the rumors and apologizing to John.

John let his men deal with the matter, as he believed in them.

The most important thing right now was to see Nina.

Nina didn’t open the door when he knocked. If he kicked it, it would definitely make her angrier. He came downstairs and looked up at the balcony.

His eyes focused on the route he had previously climbed.

This time, he wasn’t so anxious. Instead, he thought of Noah’s reminder. “What time is it?” John asked Richard.

“11:54 p.m.” Richard glanced at his watch and reported the exact time.

As per his daily routine, John should have been having sex with Nina or sleeping in the bed.

For him, it was late.

But for young people, the night had just begun.

“When will no one pass by here?” John’s tone sounded a little impatient.

After thinking for a moment, Richard said, “Perhaps 2 or 3 a.m.”

“Two hours to go then,” John said in a deep voice.

Richard glanced at John in confusion. “Mr. Shi, what is it? What do we do?”

“We wait.” The two of them stood downstairs, waiting for two hours in the cold of the night.

Occasionally, someone passed by and stared at the two men with a strange look. Someone even tried to call the police.

But, John had learnt his lesson the last time. He would not let it happen again.

With just a glance, John scared the person who had taken out his phone to call the police. The man quickly fled.

There were also people who watched the two of them from afar and made a detour.

“When we were going out, we saw these two men standing there. Why are they still here?” Two girls walking by clutched their arms to their chest and discussed with each other.

“Exactly.” The other girl stared at the backs of the two men dressed in black. She couldn’t see their faces. She felt even more afraid since the night was dark and eerie. “Do they have some mental disorder?”

“Who knows? Let’s go!” The two girls were so frightened that they quickened their paces. They had been to a bar and were drunk. They stumbled and supported each other so that they could walk steadily.

John had overheard them and was speechless. “Mental disorder? Us?”

“Since there is no one else here, yes, they were talking about us.” Richard gave a straight answer as he was a straightforward man.

John’s face darkened and he turned towards Richard, still not believing what he had heard. “Us?”

‘Do I look like a lunatic?’

No, the women were lunatics.

If Henry were here, he would have gotten John’s point. But Richard didn’t. “Mr. Shi, I heard them clearly. They were talking about the two of us just now.” John was furious.

“I am deducting a month’s pay from your salary.” John’s face was as dark as the night. He turned around, his back to Richard, giving him the cold shoulder.

Noticing John’s anger, Richard glanced at his back. Without any complaint, he said, “Okay.”

John put his hand on his forehead and said nothing.

As the night grew darker and darker, a dead silence descended on them. There were no cars or pedestrians passing by. Then, John unbuttoned his cuff links, pulled off his tie from his neck, and threw it towards Richard.

“Turn around and cover me. Don’t look back when you hear any noise. Don’t let anyone approach.”

“Yes, sir.” Richard was obedient when John gave orders and never asked anything that he shouldn’t ask.

With his back to John, he looked at the three sides, front, left and right, trying to cover for him.

John had already done this before. Now, he was familiar with how to climb into the balcony. He gripped the protruding object on the wall, and his movements were as agile as a monkey.

Ten minutes later, there was sweat on John’s forehead. He spun around and jumped into the balcony. The sound of his footsteps touching the floor was heard.

Nina hadn’t been able to sleep well that night. She had had the strange dream again, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

After hearing the sound from the balcony, she suddenly woke up from her dream.

“I had the same dream again,” she murmured to herself. Nina sat on the bedside and wiped the sweat off her forehead. The wind from the balcony dispelled the haze of her dream.

And with the wind came John’s footsteps.

“Who is there?” Nina keenly sensed that there was someone. She vigilantly looked at the balcony and got out of bed.

Afraid of alerting the stranger by turning the light on, Nina fumbled for a slipper to use as a weapon. She walked quietly to the balcony and hid behind the door. She saw a tall figure in the dark of the night.

When John heard Nina’s voice, he stopped.

Since he had been noticed, he decided to just walk in.

John straightened up and strode towards her room. When he was about to make a sound, Nina, who was hiding behind the door, slammed her slipper against his head.

Thwack!

The sound of the slipper hitting something echoed in the night.

John had raised his arm to block the attack. His strong arm kept him safe from harm.

“Honey, it’s me.” John took ahold of Nina’s wrist and pulled her towards himself. His arms circled her waist, as he nudged her towards the room and shut the door.

Nina could feel her familiar scent.
