Chapter 617 - POOR JUDGEMENT (1/2)
The awkwardness between Wang Che and Shun continued through the next week. Wang Che occupied himself with work and checking up on his guards who were suffering under the hand of a man who claimed to be a housekeeper.
Not only did this man who called himself Housekeeper Li force his people through hellish exercise routines, but he also criticised them endlessly. He would compare them with Young Mistress Zhong, who could do the same exercise in a fraction of the time.
The guards did not dare to complain because they had seen Zev's condition and the video of him flying out.
In addition, Housekeeper Li made them go through etiquette lessons. Like a super mean headmistress, he carried a wooden ruler to punish his students. And he could find fault in everything, including tone of speech, improper use of honorifics and even posture.
Truthfully speaking, Zhong Feng told him that the guards had acted against Hu Lei. Therefore, Housekeeper Li was not only following orders. He was delivering punishment. To him, Hu Lei was the goddess who had brought life to everyone who worked for Zhong Feng.
Shun did not know about the strange activities happening in another part of the villa. He was conducting the house remodel with an almost maniacal concentration. And he refused help from anyone, including Wang Che.
On the following Friday, the two men left the villa. Shun was not as excited as Wang Che thought he would be about getting out of the house and going into the city. The calm and almost indifferent attitude made him worried.
He cursed himself again for his lack of self-control on that day. If he had not acted like a beast, things would have continued as they were. At least, Shun used to talk to him, even though it was mostly mischievously and childishly.
Now, he was just too calm. How could Wang Che not be scared?
”We do not have to have dinner with my friend if you do not want to.” Wang Che said after a while.
Shun did not look away from the passing scenery through the window. ”It is fine. I should not stay in the house all the time. I might as well see the city. It might trigger something in my memories.”
Wang Che hands tightened around the steering wheel. ”Shun, are you unhappy with me?”
Shun turned his head from the window and looked at Wang Che for the first time since they left the villa. Wang Che glanced at him and saw the fire in those familiar eyes. It was the first time Shun had shown real emotions since that night.
”Am I with you?” Shun asked sharply.
Wang Che looked back to the road. ”What do you mean?”
Shun scoffed. ”This is what I am talking about. Do you even truly care whether I am happy or unhappy? You claim that I agreed to be your boyfriend. The more time I spend with you, the more I doubt this. You probably just made it all up to fool me and my family.”
Wang Che's lips pursed in anger as he drove through the gate of the restaurant. ”I did not need to tell a lie. Even without that information, I still had the right to make the decisions about your medical care. Regardless of what you think, the truth will not change. You agreed to be with me.”
Shun laughed harshly. ”Great! Then, I can only blame myself for my poor judgement.”
Wang Che was frustrated. ”What do you want from me?”
”I might not have my memories, but at least, I am not an idiot and a complete ass. What I want is to be with someone who wants to be with me.” Shun said. ”I am tired of being in a house with someone who looks like they would rather be anywhere else.”
”You know that is not true, Shun.” Wang Che said.
