Chapter 83 - Cute (1/2)

”None of your business!” Ying Sheng said as she ran towards Liam.

”Hey”

Liam just nodded and started walking away. Ying Sheng followed him with her brows raised.

”What's wrong?”

”Nothing.” He replied bluntly.

They sat in the car in silence. Liam's heart was in turmoil when he saw the guy Ying Sheng was talking to. 'How am I going to compete with him?' He had thought bitterly. The guy was everything he was not with his piercings and bad boy vibe. 'Did she like guys like that?'

His heart fell in his stomach resulting in his grim mood. Ying Sheng felt the silence was too much for her to bear. Her forehead creased as she turned to look at him.

”Liam”

”….” She raised her brows when he didn't respond.

”Liam.” She called him again, but he was too wrapped up in his thoughts to even hear her.

”Okay, now I'm starting to freak out. Are you even paying attention to the road?”

Ying Sheng queried as she pinched his arms. Liam m.o.a.ned out in pain.

”Argh…what was that for?”

Ying Sheng's mouth set in a hard line.

”Did something happened at work? Will I be killing anybody soon for hurting you?”

The color drained from Liam's face when he heard her. 'Yeah, maybe you can kill that guy you were talking to you.'

”Nothing happened at work and you would be killing no one ever. Killing is illegal and you might get hung or sent to jail for it. Worst case scenario-”

”Okay, okay I get it! It was humor, Liam.”

Liam flushed, ”Oh..” he trailed off.

Liam gasped breaking the heavy silence in the car. Ying Sheng turned to look at him; okay something was definitely wrong.

”Liam.”

”Hmm.” He answered while keeping his eyes on the road.

”Look at me.”

Liam shook his head, ”I'm driving, I need to focus.”

Ying Sheng rolled her eyes, ”What's wrong?”

Liam kept quiet for a few seconds before he started blabbering, ”Well, nothing is wrong. I mean what can possibly go wrong and is not like I'm jealous of seeing you totally talking to a guy I can possibly not compete with.”

Ying Sheng stiffened for a second, then burst out into laughter.

”Oh my! You're in a bad mood because you saw me talking to Han Xin?”

'Han Xin, so that is his name.'

”No.” Liam retorted flatly.
