Chapter 629 - WHAT AN IDIOT! (2/2)
Wang Che felt at rock bottom as he drove through the gate of his estate.
He was worse than his father who suggested that he keeps Shun's properties and money. He was worse because he wanted to take Shun's time, thoughts, body and soul without giving anything in return. He just wanted to keep him.
Wang Che pulled his car to a sudden stop, his hands holding the steering wheel tightly. He took a deep breath. Then, just as suddenly, he reversed the car through the gate and made a sudden turn before getting back on the road.
He did not dare think too much about his actions. If he did, he knew that he would just turn back and go home. And he would not gain the guts to do what he was about to do again. If he did not, he was afraid he would never have what he wanted.
So, at that moment, he became a racecar driver again. In those days, he never thought of anything else when he was at the wheel. He just emptied his mind and focussed on the road ahead. As long as he got to the end, he would win.
Behind him, Oren watched the vehicle disappear. He was going to report an important piece of information he just found out. He had been waiting for Wang Che for an hour because he did not think it was something to report over the phone.
Now, his boss just turned and drove off. What a strange man!
Wang Che drove to Azure Woods without wasting time.
The night was dark, but Azure Woods turned into an enchanted land of fairy lights once darkness set in. However, Wang Che did not spare a moment to admire the beautiful spectacle. He did not want to waste even a single second.
For a moment, he thought that Zhong Feng and Hu Lei would not let him into the property. But as soon as he got to the gate, the barrier opened without questions. He took it as a good sign that there was still hope.
But that made him even more apprehensive.
Still, he drove in and parked his car in front of the house. When he stepped out of the car, he intended to walk directly to the house, find Shun and speak his mind. But now that he was so close, he realised that he did not have the words.
He had never spoken from his heart before. All his words were always carefully weighted. He needed to think for a moment so that he would not make a fool of himself. Or even worse, before he said something that drove Shun further away.
Without realising it, he began pacing between his car and the house.
Inside the house, Hu Lei was looking through the window with a weird smile on her face. She looked like she was enjoying a strange spectacle, and the glee was immeasurable.
”Ah-Feng, come over.” She beckoned to Zhong Feng, who was drinking tea.
”Is it Wang Che?” Zhong Feng asked.
”Yes, I told Housekeeper Li to make sure he can come in freely. He took his sweet time before coming. I thought he would come over after three days at most. What an idiot!” Hu Lei pouted with dissatisfaction.
Zhong Feng walked over to the window and looked at Wang Che. ”You should not have let him in so easily then. With his background and personality, I am surprised that he came at all.”
”You know you could tell Shun that you do not support his relationship with Wang Che.” Hu Lei said with twinkling eyes.
”Stop trying to cause more trouble.” Zhong Feng tapped Hu Lei's nose. ”My opinion does not matter. Anything I had to say to Shun, I already said it. He is an adult who can make his own decisions.”
Hu Lei could still see the slight dissatisfaction on Zhong Feng's face. ”What are you worried about? Even with his background, he is not such a bad guy. I know he is not the best, but I think he deserves a chance.”
Zhong Feng looked at the pacing Wang Che who seemed ready to get into his car and leave. His beautiful eyes were narrowed and their sharpness was like a sword.
”He is too calculating and diplomatic.” Zhong Feng said. ”He counts his profits and losses, and he never let go of his façade. Otherwise, he would have expressed his feelings to Shun long ago. And Shun is the kind of person who needs to be showered with affection.”
”They were fine for years. And Wang Che has always given Shun all the attention he needs.” Hu Lei said.
”It is different now.” Zhong Feng rubbed Hu Lei's head. ”Think about it. If Shun accepted that level of affection and still believed they were pure friends, consider the closeness he would expect as lovers. This situationship could end up blowing up in everyone's faces.”
”Look who is using words like situationship! I thought you were against slang?” Hu Lei chuckled.
Before Zhong Feng responded, Shun walked into the living room.
”I am going back to Japan..” He declared.
