The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 10 Don't See Me If You Can’t Finish Spending

"Your elder brother seems to be coding." Julian raised his eyebrows.

"Coding?" Susan blinked. "I didn’t know he could do that."

"I'm not too sure about it. It just looks like it."

"Oh."

No matter what her elder brother was doing, it did his current condition good to have found something to distract himself.

Susan looked at Jacob for a long time.

After a long while, Jacob stopped and turned to look at Susan before breaking into a faint smile. "Susan."

"Brother." Susan could not help being excited. When h e was first diagnosed with schizophrenia, he could not even recognize her.

His condition improved recently. At least, he had not forgotten her.

"Susan,” Jacob repeated as he smiled. The only thing h e knew how to say was her name.

"Brother," she replied patiently.

"Susan."

"Brother." "Susan."

"Brother."

Both of them continued the meaningless conversation. Julian felt it was strange, but looking at how happy Susan was, he was reluctant to disturb them and just waited at the side.

Susan and Jacob conversed for a while like that, and after coaxing him to sleep, she walked over to Julian embarrassedly. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It’s good to know that you're sorry. How are you planning to thank me?" Julian suddenly closed the distance between them as the moonlight softened his stiff brows. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Susan felt her heart skip a beat. In a panic, she took a step back and said, "I...you...how do you want me to thank you?"

He looked at her intensely. "Let's accumulate the favors a couple more times before thanking me in one go."

After that, he turned around to leave. "Let's go home."

As Susan watched his back, a smile formed on her face subconsciously. Julian Shaw was not as frightening as she thought.

Once they were home, Susan looked at the enormous bed in the bedroom and felt slightly nervous. "Ju-

Julian, how are we sleeping tonight?" "What do you think?" Julian raised an eyebrow at her, deliberately lengthening his tone while Susan’s face became red. "Of course, we're sleeping together."

"Of course, you shouldn't overthink,” he continued," Just like yesterday, you'll sleep on your side, and I'll sleep on mine. I don't want my pure body to be tainted by yours." i

Susan was speechless. How could she not know about CEO Shaw's nickname and its purity?

Furthermore, tainting him? Was she the devil?

However, Julian's words made her relax. She changed into her pajamas and slipped under the blanket.

He frowned at her. "Why are your pajamas the same as yesterday’s? Don't you know how to change?"

She looked at him naively. "I only have two sets of pajamas, and today's weather wasn't that great, so the previous set that I washed hasn’t dried yet.”

Julian was speechless for a moment as he stared at Susan. "I remember giving you a card. The money in the card can buy you a few hundred sets of pajamas, can't it?"

What a joke!

Julian Shaw’s woman actually owned two sets of pajamas that needed to be cleaned every other day? If that news got around, it would greatly embarrass him!

"I have no idea how much this money this card has since I've never used it before,” Susan said, "My job in Lanyard Construction pays me monthly and that's enough for me."

Julian frowned even harder!

He suddenly had a thought. It was not just pajamas. Susan only had a few sets of daily clothes to change. H e also never saw her wear any jewelry.

One had to know that even his "good friends" were all draped in fine jewelry, yet his own wife was so simple.

Julian scowled as he opened her closet. The clothes inside were folded neatly and one could determine the number of clothes she possessed in one glance. "Do you only have two coats?"

"Yeah, and that’s enough," Susan replied naturally.

"What kind of brand is this? Why have I never seen it anywhere before?!"

"Don't look at the brand. It's actually pretty expensive and cost me a few hundred dollars." Susan seemed slightly anguished. If it was not for the sake of looking more presentable in the office, she would have rather saved those few hundred dollars.

Julian was speechless. He removed all of the clothes from the closet and dumped them into the trash.

"What are you doing?" Susan dashed over nervously.

"How can Julian Shaw's woman wear all this nonsense? Susan, don't embarrass me on purpose!" He stared at Susan in disgust.

"I'm not! Previously, I wore clothes that were tens of dollars. Now, every garment that I have costs more than a hundred dollars," she retorted.

Julian suddenly felt an itch between his teeth. Then, h e took out a black card and handed it to her. "Susan, I'm warning you, if you ever wear those kinds of clothes again, I'll slap you on the spot!"

His vicious tone made Susan shrink her neck. "Those clothes are good quality ones..."

Julian saw how reluctant she was. Inwardly, he thought that it was either funny or irritating.

After a while, he said in a gloomy tone, "Do you still remember that we have a family dinner in a few days?"

"I remember. I even set a reminder on my phone." Susan swiped her mobile phone to prove it.

"Were you planning to dress like that to visit your mother-in-law? Even if you aren’t ashamed, I will be!"

"But I've always dressed like this.” Susan had an innocent expression on her face.

For a moment, Julian was lost for words, and his self-esteem was rattled. Previously, he had deliberately forced himself to ignore everything about Susan, thus he had not realized this.

"That was the past, but this is the present! Didn’t my mother say to take care of me? If you dress like this, how can she believe that we're on good terms? I’ll let you take a day off tomorrow. Please go and buy some decent clothes. Each of them shouldn't cost less than $ 10,000! Also, go and get some jewelry,’’ Julian threatened, "I'll check the receipts tomorrow. If the total amount is less than $10 million, you're done for.” 8

"Ten...ten million!” Susan's jaw dropped at the sound o f the figure.

"Jewelry is important. Remember to buy something that will make me proud. If you embarrass me at the family dinner, you're dead.” Julian thrust the card to her in a threatening manner.

"Okay..." Susan struggled to accept the card. "But..."

"No buts. It's decided!" Julian cut her off.

"Then...what do I wear tomorrow morning?" Susan shot him an innocent look. "You dumped all of my clothes!"

Julian did not know what to say.

Consequently, Julian's personal assistant received a midnight mission to buy clothes for the CEO's wife.

The next morning before going to work, Julian reminded her, "Remember what I said. Don't see me if you can't finish spending $10 million. I've arranged for the chauffeur, Alfred, to follow you today, so you'd better spend the money!" 4 "Okay." Susan felt a headache coming on.

$10 million!

How could she finish spending all that within a day?
