94 Resist Him (1/2)
Soon after the man's lips landed on her lips, she suddenly felt her body quiver.
This man's scent, as well as the taste of his lips, carried too much nostalgia that she can't stop her tears from streaming down her face when her memories of him started to flood her head.
'Chenric...' Her heart whispered, but the whisper was too soft that it quickly drowned in her raging hatred.
She must not be fooled by this man again.
She must resist him.
She must end the kiss.
Strengthening her resolve, Wang Reiji gathered all her remaining energy to push Zhang Chenric away. As their lips got separated, she raised her right hand and slap the man's face
'Whack!'
The sound of the slap traveled across the hall and into Zhang Chenric's ears. Its impact was too strong that when Wang Reiji removed her hand from Zhang Chenric's face, his cheek was already red and swollen.
After slapping him, Wang Reiji thenlooked at Zhang Chenric's expression. She was hoping to see him hurt physically and emotionally. But much to her surprise, Zhang Chenric didn't look like he was hurt at all. Rather, he looked like he was actually expecting the slap from her.
”Don't tell me you were already satisfied with just one slap? Please, hit me as much as you want. Hit me until you feel better.” Zhang Chenric said calmly while staring straight at Wang Reiji's crying face.
Wang Reiji let out a cold chuckle before wiping her eyes dry.
”Does this face look like it's satisfied with just a single slap? Haha, You must be seeing things! But to tell you honestly, even if I shred you into bits and pieces in this lifetime or a thousand more, IT WILL NEVER MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!” Fueled by anger, Wang Reiji yelled at Zhang Chenric before dashing her way toward the building's fire exit.
The calmness in Zhang Chenric was instantly replaced by a strong feeling of guilt and sadness the moment he realized the depth of Wang Reiji's hatred.
No amount of justification can ever pacify the hate he saw in those eyes. Even if he wanted to unsay things and take back words, it was too late. The damage had been done. And it was all his fault.
But should he let things end like this?
Wasn't he supposed to apologize and explain why he was late that day? That someone had intentionally cut off his father's life support which left him with no choice but to rush to the hospital instead of their meet up place?
