My Sexy Wife
Chapter 9 I Don’t Sell My Body (2)

"This is fine. I'll take this whole outfit. Go and try on another one." Jasmine sounded like she was scrutinizing a commercial product as she let Johnny spin around to show himself. She then nodded towards the saleswoman before muttering, "I didn't expect that he looks so good wearing decent clothes. He has a good figure."

"You don't say? I am one of the core members of the basketball team back in the day. I have all of it, height and strength." Johnny interjected as he went back to the fitting room once again.

He wasn't lying about that. During his university days, he indeed joined the varsity basketball team. He played the point guard position, and of course, as a point guard, his height wasn't that special from a basketball standpoint. However, for most people, his height was outstanding enough: one hundred and eighty centimeters. Although it wasn't shockingly tall, it would make him look big wherever he was. From the beginning until now, Jasmine had purchased three outfits for Johnny, which added up to one hundred and eighty thousand. Despite the staggering amount, Jasmine didn't even blink when she swiped her card.

"I've decided, you are going to wear this outfit now. You can throw away your old clothes!" After making the payment, Jasmine said to Johnny.

"Why should I throw it? It's not like they are torn or anything." Johnny put his old clothes into a plastic bag.

"You don't think your new clothes are good enough for you to replace your old ones? I have bought you three set of clothes, which are more than enough for you to last."

"I can wear my old clothes when I do the dirty work. These clothes still cost me a few dozen bucks, and it would be a waste to throw them."

"Can you not be that stingy? Do you really see money as something so important?" Jasmine couldn't take it anymore as she was getting more and more disgusted by Johnny's thirst for money.

Johnny raised his head and looked at Jasmine, then he said seriously, "Money is not the most important thing to me, but sometimes, money is even more important than a person's life.”

"Fine, if you want to take them with you so badly, then do it. Follow me." Jasmine resigned herself to his stubbornness. She then took Johnny to a shop selling timepieces. She bought a watch for him which cost her a few tens of thousands, and then she proceeded to buy him the latest iPhone.

"Jasmine, what are you doing now? I am here to work for you, not to sell myself to you. Why are you buying me all of these? Do you think you are having too much money or what? Let me make it clear to you: I am indeed lacking money, but I am not going to sell my body to you. I won't be a sell-out in any way." Johnny couldn't hold himself in anymore as he came clean with Jasmine.

"Sell yourself? You think you are worthy?" Jasmine was utterly amused by Johnny's proclamation.

"Why not?"

"You think I am going to keep you as a sugar baby? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?" Jasmine was very speechless now.

"Then, why are you doing all of these? Not only did you buy me clothes and watches, you even bought me a phone. All of these add up to a few hundred thousand. I am not related nor close to you in any way, so why are you buying these for me?"

"I have already told you. These are all needed for your work. From now on, whenever I summon you, you need to wear these before you see me. As for what you have to do, you will know naturally afterwards. You can be rest assured that I have no interest in you. I am not that desperate. Go do your hair in that shop there and shave yourself." Jasmine finally said to Johnny before dragging him into a salon.

By the time Johnny had a makeover of his hair, coupled with the expensive suit and shoes and watch, you could say that he now looked like someone who had a successful life. Jasmine examined him carefully before commenting, "Hmm, you don't look half-bad. I guess you finally fit my minimum requirement. Come on, hop into the car."

Jasmine finished saying that and got on the car first.

"Jasmine, you must tell me now what I am going to do later. Otherwise, even if you sue me in court, I won't do whatever you ask me to do. Let me be straightforward with you, I won't do anything that violates the law." Johnny demanded firmly as he got into the car too. After what happened just now,, he was completely clueless about what her intention was. He had never met someone who would spend so much on dressing someone up before hiring them to work. Besides prostitution and criminal activities, he couldn't think of anything else that made sense.

"What's wrong? You previously thought that I am going to be your sugar mummy, and now you are thinking that I am going to ask you to commit some crime?"

"Isn't that what this is leading to? Or do you think of me as a fool? There is no free lunch in this world. Have you heard of any employer who would spend tens of thousands of money to buy things for his or her employee? All the things you have bought me are here. I won't take any of them." Johnny remained cautious.

Jasmine shook her head, obviously irritated and speechless. She then announced, "Alright, let me tell you what you are going to do."

"Can you see that there? That is an international kindergarten, and my son is studying there. Your job is very simple. You just need to be the father of my son." Jasmine drove for ten or so minutes before reaching what looked like an expensive kindergarten catered to the rich.

"What? Be the father of your son? Shit, I have told you time and again that I won't sell myself to you." Johnny's eyes were bulging as he stared at Jasmine.

"You are thinking too much on that. I am merely asking you to be a father figure to him. My son is only five years old, and I have been telling him that his father is managing a company abroad, which renders him unavailable to come see him. It is easy to fool him when he is very young, but as he grows older, it is getting harder to continue with the lie. Besides, he feels that he doesn't actually have a father, which causes the other students to look down on him in the kindergarten. They bully him, which makes him more and more withdrawn. His teachers have talked to me about this for several times, and I have to come up with a solution. Or else, if his personality and character is set in stone, his life would be definitely ruined. I don't have any other way except for finding someone to play the role of his father." Jasmine glanced at Johnny while explaining.

After listening to Jasmine's explanation, Johnny finally understood what is going on. He then asked, "So he has never seen his real father?"

"No."

"Then where is his father?"

When Johnny raised this question, Jasmine suddenly shot a piercing gaze at him. Then, she answered coldly, "I have told you before. Never ask anything unnecessary."

In fact, Johnny was still very much intimidated by Jasmine, and after getting a glare from her, he obediently shut himself up. He then continued, "So, you are thinking to let me pretend to be your son's father and continue the lie, right?"

"You can put it that way, yes!"

"I'm sorry, but I decide that I don't want to do this job." Johnny announced while he tried to remove his watch. "Why is that?"

"Do you think lying to a child is a morally right thing to do? I'm sorry. I can't do it."

"Then let me tell you. He keeps asking me about his father, but where can I conjure one for him? Do you know how severe the repercussions are for a child to grow up without a father's love? I don't want him to have any defects growing up, and I certainly don't want to see him getting depressed or autism. I have consulted a psychologist on this method, and I have gained his approval. You are right, it is indeed not morally right to lie to a child, but it is in essence a white lie. He is still young now, without an understanding of the ways of the world, which means that he has limited mental faculties. When he becomes older and more mature, I will then tell him about the truth. As his mother, this is the only way I can think of." Jasmine continued to explain while her eyes started to redden.

Seeing Jasmine becoming emotional, Johnny suddenly felt his heart go soft.

"Besides, we have signed a contract. If you decided to forfeit now, that's completely fine. I will sue you in court, and then you would have to repay me that huge amount as compensation. In addition, all the things that I have bought you today is for your job. If you are going to default and not do your job, the cost of these items will be counted as my collateral lost too. You also need to compensate me for that. Not only do you need to pay back the amount after violating the contract, you also need to repay me everything I have bought you today." Jasmine said coldly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
