The Devil’s love

"I never said that, why are you purposely trying to pick up a fight with me?" This was supposed to be a beautiful night and Ziying was very excited about it. But things had taken a different turn. She wanted to spend some romantic quality time with him, not argue with him all evening.

"I am trying to pick up a fight with you? So you are trying to say that it's not your fault?" ​​

"How is it my fault? I didn't even know he would come here and behave like that. Last week when I met him, he was very happy with his fiancee and—"

Cutting her off, he frowned, "So you met him last week, when were you planning to tell me that?"

"I met him in the lobby of some hotel. I had a meeting there and he happened to be there as well," she explained before grabbing his hand. "It's nothing like you are thinking Chen—"

"And you did not even bother to tell me?"

"I thought it wasn't important—"

"Of course you would think so because I am not important," he snapped.

Letting his hand go, she frowned, "How can you say that?" When he looked away, she got up. "When have I ever made you feel not important?"

"Today in front of your ex-boyfriend who can't wait to get into your pants." Without waiting for her reply, he added, "You know what, do whatever you want to. I can't deal with this anymore. If you care about him so much, you should just go and be with him."

When he tried to walk away, she grabbed his arm, not willing to let go. She wanted to tell him how important he was and she needed him but couldn't. All she could do was look at him with teary eyes hoping he would understand.

Returning the gaze for sometime, Chen slowly removed her hand and walked out of the apartment.

"Chen wait—" she called him out while limping her way towards the door but before she could catch up, he was already gone.

Hugging her knees, she leaned against the door and cried her eyes out. He didn't want him to leave, he didn't want him to misunderstand. Why wouldn't he believe her? Ziying was heartbroken and angry at the same.

Just then the doorbell rang which forced her to get up. Wiping her tears and enduring the sharp pain of her sprained ankle, she opened the door.

When she saw Chen standing by the door, she pursed her lips, trying very hard not to cry. She then looked away and was about to walk away when he grabbed her wrist.

Without giving her a chance to say anything, he pulled her closer and pressed his lips on hers, making her gasp in shock.

When she pressed her hands on his chest, he immediately pulled away thinking she was trying to stop him. But to his surprise, Ziying slid her hands behind his neck and clasped her lips against his.

Gliding his hands all the way down her waist, he pulled her closer. Pulling away, he rested his forehead against hers. "I hated it when he approached you. I hated it when he hugged you. I hated it when he touched your hand. I hated the way he was looking at you. I was very jealous and I am still very jealous. Everytime I see him I will feel jealous, you can call me petty or whatever you want."

Slapping his chest, she complained, "You are very mean—"

"But you still love me," he grinned before scoping her in his arms. "Where did you keep the ointment?"

Pointing towards the couch, she sniffled, "It's there."

"Let's apply the ointment first and then I'll order your favourite food—"

Hooking her arms around his neck, she asked, "You are not mad anymore?"

"I just kissed the woman I love, what makes you think I am still mad?" After grabbing the ointment, he made his way towards the bedroom.

…..

Inside the bedroom.

Placing her on the bed, he gently lifted her foot and placed it on his lap. Gently caressing the swollen area, he frowned, "You don't even know how to walk." He then applied the ointment before resting her foot on a cushion.

Moving towards her, he kissed the back of her hand. "I shouldn't have shouted at you that way, I am really sorry."

"And I am sorry for making you feel that way, I really didn't want to hurt you and I had no idea he would create such a big scene." Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed, "We were supposed to have fun today but this—"

"It's alright, this is still special because we are together. And I am also ordering your favourite food for dinner."

Tightening her grip around his hand, she asked, "W—Will you stay here tonight?"

"Do you want me to stay with you tonight?" When she nodded her head, he added, "Okay, I will stay."

Wang Residence (Liying's grandparents place)

"Grandma, at least tell me who is coming?" Liying inquired. Her grandparents had been making arrangements since morning for someone's arrival but they did not tell her who it was.

"It's someone your father knows," Grandma Wang answered.

"And he did not tell us who it is but he told us to take good care of him while he is here," Grandpa Wang added.

Scrunching her brows, Liying wondered who it might be. Her father never told her about sending anyone over when she called him yesterday. Thinking it might be her father's friend, she said, "Alright, I am going out with Carl for a while."

"Okay, come home before dinner."

....

Entrance of the mansion.

"Where do you wanna go today?" Carl inquired.

Waving her phone at him, she said, "Somewhere I'll get some network to make a couple of calls." It had been quite some time since she had called Yitian and she really wanted to talk to him. But she was also afraid he might not be willing to talk to her.
