I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 339 One shot, one kill

Completely astounded by Davi’s remark, Sei paused in a daze for a while. His surprised look was just like a beautiful summer’s day, soothing and heartwarming. He was like a puppy who finally saw the owner he’s been missing for hours now.

Looking at them, Zaki, who was still standing beside Davi, didn’t move back at all. Well, he was on a mission so he must observe them well to fulfill his task and report all the details back to the mastermind waiting in the car.

Of course, because Sei was already like an open book for Zaki, he focused his attention on Davi. He was curious about what she would do this time. Recalling what happened in the past, when Davi was jealous back then, she ran away sulking and hid at Hinari’s place. She was so emotional back then that she even got drunk. That was why, Zaki was curious. Will she sulk? Will she leave? Will she cry? Will she confront Lin Jingyi and tell her to leave her husband alone? Will she tell Sei she was jealous and that she didn’t like Lin Jingyi staying on as his secretary? Was he about to witness a bloody scene or some face slapping most women always do?

Thinking about these things, Zaki’s curiosity skyrocketed. However, just one line from Davi completely confused Zaki. Well, it was because not only did she remain calm, Davi was also sensible and level-headed unlike what he had expected.

He didn’t even feel any animosity coming from her. Her reaction was completely different from Hinari’s and there was no sign of any negative emotions oozing from her.

Instead, at that moment, she really was like a queen from the ancient times, dignified and calm yet there’s something in her that seemed to be terrifyingly intimidating.

"But of course, you can finish up what you need to do first. I can wait for you here." Davi then continued as she swiftly slipped her hand on Sei’s arm, causing the man to snap back to reality. She gripped his arm as she casually led him back to his desk.

Sei, who was a bit taken aback by Davi’s words and actions, looked overjoyed. He looked a bit curious and confused but his happiness overshadowed all other emotions in him and he let himself be led by his wife obediently.

"You sure you want to wait? I can just take these home if..." Sei said when Davi cut through his words.

"It’s alright, you should finish up here now so you can immediately rest when we get home." She said and Sei finally agreed.

"Okay, I will finish this quickly." Sei replied with enthusiasm. His impatience had vanished into thin air and he even looked like he was very enthusiastic about getting on with finishing up all his work so he could go home with Davi as soon as possible.

Upon Sei being seated on his chair, Davi let go of his arm.

"I’ll just look around, then." She said and Sei nodded as he immediately signaled Lin Jingyi who returned to her spot in front of Sei’s desk to continue her report.

Davi didn’t even ask who the woman was nor did she greet her.

Well, apart from that one meaningful look she threw at the woman as soon as their gazes met, Davi didn’t spare her another glance. She simply quietly looked around the office, which looked exactly like a presidential suite, as though she was enjoying herself.

Lin Jingyi on the other hand continued her reports. She seemed composed and she spoke like a competitively smart woman. However, even Zaki noticed how she was purposely trying to lengthen each report unnecessarily as though she was trying to tell the world how knowledgeable and skillful she was. She was obviously trying to show off. Well, this woman knew Sei hated anything that’s beating around the bush and yet she was suddenly acting like this, taking advantage for the fact that Sei was currently in a good mood. Because of that, even though Zaki didn’t particularly dislike Lin Jingyi before, he was starting to get really annoyed with her futile persistence. Well, since she clearly heard how Davi called Sei and she saw with her own two eyes how this ice man who never treated anyone softly before other than his son suddenly turned gentle and ecstatic upon seeing Davi, Zaki thought that with Lin Jingyi’s IQ, she would realize what was going and stop her delusions. But to his dismay, this woman seemed to have turned completely stupid, causing Zaki to shook his head.

What an idiot...

Time passed and Zaki, who was now leaning on the door with his hands crossed across his body, noticed that Davi seemed to be listening intently to every word Lin Jingyi was saying even though she looked like she was just looking around. But several minutes later, Davi suddenly turned her head towards Sei.

She looked at her husband who was looking at the paper in his hand with intense focus before she quietly moved her feet towards him.

Davi sneakily walked closer, not minding the widening eyes of Lin Jingyi until she reached him and stood behind him.

"Is your back hurting? Let me massage you while you listen to her report." Davi said and once again, Sei was stunned as he instantly turned to his wife. Well, Davi has learned to hide her presence so Sei was caught off guard.

That instant, Davi then finally looked at the secretary who paused and she could finally see the change in her expression. Lin Jingyi was obviously suppressing something within her and Davi could just tell with one glance. Of course, serving in the military, Davi’s observation skills were now topnotch, as though she had learned how to use the so called sixth sense.

"This won’t interrupt you from listening, right?" Davi asked without averting her gaze away from Lin Jingyi and Sei who was still a bit surprised to the core, finally spoke. Well, how could he ever reject a service from his dearest wife?!

"Mm. Of course it won’t." He replied with a bright smile and Davi’s lips suddenly curved up a little, causing Zaki to straightened his spine with surprise, looking like the question ’did she just smiled?’ was plastering in his eyes.

While Zaki was shocked, Lin Jingyi’s complexion was getting uglier. That faint smile was like a bullet that pierced through a part of her, causing a crack on Lin Jingyi’s calm and composed façade.

That moment, Zaki finally realized what was Davi trying to do from the very beginning. She never plan to attack Lin Jingyi with words voiced out loud nor some violent action. Davi was attacking silently without directly engaging with her, like a playfully savage sniper in the distance who doesn’t follow the sniper’s motto, "one shot, one kill". Instead, it was as if she was slowly targeting her arms and legs first before the letting the final bullet go.

Thinking about it, Zaki almost want to laugh out loud. Is Davi aware of what she was doing? Is she really doing this on purpose?

Feeling amazed that he almost raise his hands and give Davi a round of applause, Zaki looked at Lin Jingyi with pity as Davi’s hands landed on Sei’s shoulders.

And before she started, with a gentle and genuine tone, Davi finally spoke with Lin Jingyi.

"Please continue your report, miss. Don’t mind me."
