The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 114 Patrick's Cryptic Jokes

It was as if he really didn't see anything in the afternoon.

Shawn also took a shower, no longer smelling of food, feeling satisfied but still wanting to eat more.

However, he was very delighted, happily chatting with Patrick and Vera. "Patrick, what did you name Vera's phone in your contacts?" "Cat."

"You guys are so strange. Other people use terms like 'dear' or 'wife' in their contacts, but you two use 'Cat' and 'Big Tiger,' so trendy." Patrick turned to look at Vera snuggling up to him, a strong smile on his face. "Am I the Big Tiger?"

Vera, referred to as cat by Patrick, replied, "You are my husband, known to the outside world as the king of the business world. The king of the forest is the tiger, so, dear, do you like this nickname?" Patrick replied, "I prefer 'Darling' as the nickname."

"Then you should change mine to 'Darling' as well." Vera hugged Patrick's arm, acting coquettishly, almost burying herself in Patrick's embrace.

Patrick flicked Vera's nose and said, "You are like a child."

Shawn thought to himself, 'Are Patrick and Vera showing off their affection to me?'

Randall wondered, 'Why doesn't Patrick hit Vera?'

It was getting late, and Patrick led Vera back to the bedroom.

The door was locked, Patrick took off his coat, and Vera hung it up. As she tidied up Patrick's clothes, he suddenly embraced her from behind, bending down with his lips near Vera's ear, enveloping her in a masculine scent. His lips were close to her earlobe as he asked in a low voice, "Vera, have you ever lied to me?"

As Vera was held, she tensed up. The warm breath in her ear made her blush instantly, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Had she lied to him? Of course, she had.

She had just lied to him in the afternoon.

At this moment, she remained silent.

Patrick turned her around, looking at the conflicted Vera, their eyes meeting. He asked again, "Have you lied to me?"

Vera pursed her lips, lowering her head and nodding.

A smile appeared on his face; he only needed her answer.

"I already know about the incident in the elevator, no need to blame yourself."

Vera looked up in astonishment.

Patrick found an excuse for her. "You don't need to worry about that incident. Remember, in the future, be a bit more obedient and well-behaved. Whatever you do, I will forgive you." This included her lie this time. Patrick's words came too early and too full of assurance.

Little did he know that a few days later, she would be furious with him because of those words!

He went to take a shower, and Vera sighed in relief, thinking, 'Indeed, one cannot do wrong, or else it will weigh on the mind.'

In the middle of the night, Patrick once again teased the innocent Vera.

More accurately, it was Vera who made the first move.

It was already late at night, and Patrick, who had taken a shower, was sitting on the bed as usual, leaning against the headboard, reading a book.

Vera, who was used to sleeping with her head on Patrick's arm, felt uncomfortable.

Unable to sleep, she tossed and turned in bed, then rolled over to Patrick's side, grabbed his hand, and tried to take the book from him, saying, "Darling, don't read, the book is boring, let's sleep." Patrick lowered his gaze, looking at the playful Vera. "Should I hold you while sleeping?"

Vera nodded. "Don't I have any charm to keep you interested in me?"

In that case, Patrick closed his book.

After all, with Vera being so restless by his side, he had no interest in continuing to read.

He turned off the bedside lamp, and the bedroom was plunged into darkness.

Vera lifted her head, Patrick's arm dropped, she turned on her side, rolling into Patrick's embrace.

On the large bed, they only occupied a small corner.

"Do you know how a tiger treats a little cat?"

Vera shook her head in his embrace. "I don't know."

"The tiger eats it." Patrick suddenly rolled over, pinning her down, reaching to unbutton her pajamas, saying, "Like this."

He subtly conveyed to Vera what he wanted, needing only a nod from her for everything to happen that night.

However, Vera was too innocent, seemingly not understanding his intentions.

All Vera did was laugh beneath him; her laughter was clear, like a delightful musical note.

"Darling, you're not really a big tiger. Even if you were, and I'm a cat who married you. You wouldn't eat me. Otherwise, you'd be missing out. If you really ate me, marrying me would be meaningless." Patrick chuckled softly.

He leaned down, kissing her on her lips.

Patrick's subtlety was only understood at face value by her.

"Vera, as the wife of a big tiger, you need to bear little tigers for the big tiger, understand?"

Vera furrowed her brows again, refusing, "No, a cat's belly is so small, it can't fit little tigers."

"You won't know until you try. Look at how animal kingdoms work on TV. If a cat gives birth to little tigers, she won't even be able to feed them."

"We can hire a wet nurse," Patrick said.

"It won't work. I'd rather have my son drink formula than have him drink another woman's milk."

After saying that, Vera was stunned.

Patrick, lying on top of her, laughed.

It seemed that Vera understood his subtle sexual implications.

However, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Hearing his laughter, Vera shyly pushed Patrick on top of her, saying, "Get off, don't crush me."

Patrick's hand reached around Vera's back, pulling her close to him, lowering his head to kiss her lips again.

Vera blushed with anger, hitting Patrick a few times before feeling relieved.

In the night, she was still immersed in sweet love, unaware that a conspiracy about her was exploding on the school forum in the dead of night. [Shocking! Campus belle kept by an older man.]

[The campus belle of Evergreen University, secretly kept by a wealthy sponsor, seen dating on the street food alley.]

[Urgent report The scandal of the campus belle, part one.]

Under the forum, there were images and evidence of Vera's actions.

There were pictures of her getting into Shawn's car yesterday, eating at a restaurant with Shawn, and a video of Vera and Shawn laughing together.

Some people even turned the images into cartoons for everyone to read on the forum.

Late at night was when internet users who loved staying up were most active.

Until three in the afternoon, the situation was still fermenting.

In the dormitory, everyone stayed up, holding their phones, informing their friends.

[Check the forum quickly, there are pictures and videos, the campus belle is being kept.]

[Wake up, don't sleep, look at the woman you admire, you have a crush on Vera, right? She's definitely going to shatter your perception. Not only is she ambiguous with the campus heartthrob, but she's also having an affair with an old man.] [Students from other schools, just come and join the fun, the campus belle of Evergreen University is in a scandal.]

The comments below were all about making fun of the situation.
