Chapter 200 - A deal with a monster (2/2)

Liam pressed her face into his hard chest. When she finally calmed down, Liam spoke.

”I'm so sorry….sorry.  You're hurting because of me, right? I was so selfish. I promised myself to protect you but I hurt you rather.”

Ying Sheng shook her head agressively and pulled away from him.

”No-no. I'm the one who is sorry. Sorry I can't be the perfect girl for you.”

”Sorry that I have hurt you, I never wanted to hurt you.” Ying Sheng continued.

A frown formed on Liam's face when he heard her. He cupped her face in his palms and kissed her forehead soothingly.

”What are you talking about?” Liam whispered.

”You falling in love with a monster like me, I'm sorry. I'm not worthy of love and you are so good you deserve someone better. No one deserves to fall in love with a monster like me.” Ying Sheng sobbed as she said.

”Ying Sheng….look at me.” Liam whispered, nudging her face up with a little while his thumbs caressed her wet cheeks.

Reluctantly,Ying Sheng looked up and meet his gaze.

”You need to stop loving me. Let me go. This isn't a fairy tale or teen fiction where the depressed bad girl falls for the good boy and tries to change for him then they live happily ever after. This is real life and well….life is f.u.c.k.i.e.d.”

Ying Sheng said, avoiding Liam's gaze, loneliness flickering in her eyes.

”But I-I won't ask you.. to change or want you to change. I just want you to be my bad girl. You --can tie me up in bed- and fu…ck me until I forget my name.” Liam stammered as he turned crimson red.

Ying Sheng heaved a sigh, ”Cutie, you're supposed to look for a trophy wife who can cook and do chores. Not a monster like me who will destroy your perfect life. Also, we can't be together.”

Liam's heart nearly stopped in his chest when he heard her. His shoulders hunched, and he took a deep breath.

'Why?” He queried.

”Because I love someone else.”

Ying Sheng blinked away her tears as she said.

”I know. And I don't care if you love someone else. I'm not letting you go.” Liam said firmly.

”You're stuck with me so bear with me.” Liam forced out a smile as he said.

”How...after seeing me at my worst, how can you love me? You should be disgusted with me. You should hate me for being weak. I'm a monster…..ugly monster with scars. I'm—”

”Stop it!” Liam bellowed as he pulled her into his arms.

”You can't tell me what to do with my heart. I love you and not anyone else. You're not an ugly monster. You're so beautiful….even at your weakest you're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. My baddie” Liam whispered.

Ying Sheng's ears rested on his loud heartbeat. She could hear how fast his heart was beating.  Hearing his heartbeat calm down Ying Sheng.

She felt an unfamiliar yet tingling feeling spread inside her.

She didn't know what it was but she knew she loved being in his arms. Ying Sheng has no idea why she was feeling this way.

”Please don't leave me....” Ying Sheng pleaded with her as she gripped his shirt tightly.

”I won't leave you. Never.”

Liam told her as he stroked her scalp, his fingers running gently through her hair.

”It's okay if you don't love me. I will wait for you patiently.”

”How long are you planning on waiting?” Ying Sheng asked quietly.

”Five months. Give me five months to chase you. If after five months I still haven't been able to make you fall in love with me. I will let you go.”

Ying Sheng stiffened. Was she ready to take on this challenge? Of course, she wanted to experience how it's like to be loved and pampered by someone.

”Alright.” She agreed.

Liam's lips curved into a smile. ” Do you promise to stay alive during this time? Please…..for me.”

Ying Sheng stiffened, she didn't know when she would snap but she was willing to try.

”I—I will try.”
