Chapter 96 - What is Love? (1/2)

”Ling Feng! Open the door! Ling Feng!!” Ling Yue hit the door to her room many times. As soon as he dragged her home, Ling Feng put her under house arrest. Old Fu and all the servants were given instructions not to approach this room unless there was an emergency problem concerning life and death.

Ling Yue leaned her forehead on the door. She doesn't care if she has to be locked up. At least someone could told her what really happened. Just when she wanted to confirm her feelings, Ling Yue was thrown in another state. Ling Yue's chest was squeezed by an invisible wall. The back of her eye socket was burning hot, ready to form and drain her tears again. Xi Jian face was covered in blood earlier kept swirling in her mind. How are things now?

She hurried to find her phone, fortunately Ling Feng did not take her bag. She pressed Xi Jian's number which she found rather long in her trembled fingers. Every second the ring tone sounds without answer knocked her ear, her feel worse.

”Why isn't he picking up?”

Ling Yue tried many times. Still no answer. She then called Bai Xu. Xi Jian had just recovered from his injury, she didn't want to think what Ling Feng had done had made it worse.

”Hello?” Bai Xu's voice slightly made Ling Yue's anxiety fade.

”Mr. Bai, is Xi Jian with you?” Ling Yue went through all the formalities and immediately asked.

”Mr. Xi? No, of course not. Why am I with Mr. Xi at this time?” Bai Xu answered while frowning. He cast a briefest glanced at the clock which was past midnight. He hasn't slept yet so he can pick up the call from Ling Yue. But what made that young lady call him so late at night? his hunch said something had happened to his boss.

”I see ...” Ling Yue could not hide her disappointment. ”If ... if Xi Jian contacts you, can you please call me back?”

”Of course, Miss Ling.”

Ling Yue lay on her bed after said goodbye. Tonight was really a long night. Ling Yue won't be able to sleep. Certainly. Until everything were clear.

Xi Jian leaned in the driver's seat. His hand gripped the cellphone that was vibrating earlier. He won't pick up the phone now, even if he wants to. Xi Jian gazed to city border . Only the engine's sound of his car was heard in the middle of the abandoned basketball court.

From a distance, another car was seen entering this abandoned area. The car made a U-turn suddenly and stopped quite far beside his car. Xi Jian turned off the engine, opened the door and lowered his legs.

The other party stepped down too, but keep its engine on.

”Do not come close. I can barely maintain my emotions. I hate you now. You know? ”Ling Feng leaned back in his car and said immediately as he looked at Xi Jian who took a step forward.

Hearing Ling Feng's voice in the darkness of the night stopped him. ”I will not apologize for my actions. I only apologize for breaking my promise to you.” Xi Jian said in low voice, but it was clearly heard in Ling Feng's ears.

”I hate betrayal.”

”I know.” Xi Jian looked straight into Ling Feng's eyes. His best friend is very well trained in the dark. Compared to Xi Jian who had to squint a little at the sight but also because his face hurt, Ling Feng didn't need to. Thus if Ling Feng, who said 'hates' him, decided to do something, Xi Jian could only hope in his instincts. He was the one who asked Ling Feng to meet him and fix this problem, without knowing how.
