-46 Chapter 70: Apology (2/2)

”Fei Fei, do you remember anything I told you last night?” Wu Chen was talking about the apology he made last night but seeing how Yi Fei panicked when he mentioned it, he knew that her mind must be wandering in the different direction. He couldn't afford to delay his apology. It's killing him.

”I am very sorry for bailing out on you. I didn't mean to. You are right. Li Wei used to be my girlfriend but we broke up. I don't know what she told you when you called but there's nothing going on between me and her” Wu Chen paused to check Yi Fei's reaction. When she was quiet, Wu Chen took it as his cue to continue explaining.

”You heard of the raping case in City L right? She called me saying that someone was tailing her. I went to save her. The rapist tailed her after seeing her walking alone in the dark parking lot” He paused again- still no reaction so he continued.

”I managed to catch the rapist before anything happened to her. I was in the police station when you called. She took the call” Wu Chen never took his eyes off Yi Fei.

”Whatever she told you, I just wanted to clarify that there's nothing going on between her and me” Wu Chen saw that Yi Fei scooted near him so he spoke slowly.

”I wanted to bring you along with me but it was dangerous. I don't want anything bad happened to you” Wu Chen paused to allow Yi Fei to scoot even closer to him.

”Let me off this time, alright?” By now, Yi Fei was a yard away from Wu Chen.

”Alright… You don't really have to explain much to me…” Yi Fei felt bad that Wu Chen explained so much.

YI Fei felt that she did not deserve much explanation since they were not together. Even if she was angry that she felt like killing somebody, she knew better that she did not have the right to demand an explanation. Like, on what basis could she demand an explanation?

”I want to…” Wu Chen stood up and sat on the edge of the bed beside Yi Fei. He tucked the wild tendril of hair to Yi Fei's ear. He seemed to like doing this thing to Yi Fei.

He looked at the messy face in front of him; still with a little bit of makeup and her hair reeked of hairspray. He caressed her cheek and spoke with all seriousness.

”Fei Fei, isn't it about time that we get together now?”
