110 Being A Bastard Again (1/2)

The man that is going to marry the woman he wants.

”Yes, finally, after the work, you put me through.” He said accusingly, as if he was joking, ”And I've been catching up with the news.” Zang Fang added carefully. 'Are you taking care of her properly, you one big piece of wood?' That was what he really wanted to ask.

”And?”

”What do you mean and?” He asked, annoyed, ”Why did you not call me you were engaged? Do you even know how to be romantic? Your bride will be very disappointed. I would have thought you a thing or two.” Zang Fang said, showing his disapproval at having to see that from the news. He was acting like a friend that was stood up by another friend when they agreed to go out.

Yet, he was the only one who knew it was more than that. He was the only one that was aware of how he was burying himself in torturous pain. Every piece of information in the news was like a knife being stabbed at him before it was taken out slowly.

There were parts of the news that praises the couple while the other was not talking shit about his girl.

Gold digger? For him, if money could take Han Mei away from Suzuki Kyou, then he would give up all his fortune. Any glimmer of hope was possible.

However, he seemed too late already to even offer. Even that time when she was helping him, Han Mei never showed any signs that she liked the same as he does.

”I don't anyone telling me how to woo my woman.” Suzuki Kyou said. He was not emphasizing anything, but it still hurts to hear that on Zang Fang's side.

Through clenched teeth, ”At least you should not have forgotten about inviting me.” Zang Fang stressed. ”Did you even think of me when you are deciding on the guest list?”

”I did not decide on the guest list. You can blame my assistant,” Suzuki Kyou said as if he could not be bothered explaining or defending himself. Putting Assistant Ye on the spot to explain was his usual habit when he was lazy technically.

Of course, Zang Fang knew this. ”Reall-” Zang Fang started knowing full well the guy on the other line was getting impatient and would never say sorry.

”What do you want?” Suzuki Kyou asked, sounding disgruntled. ”Spill, you are wasting time.” He added said in a voice that clearly stated that he wasn't joking. Zang Fang grinned.

”I want to talk to your fiancé. So give me Han Mei's phone number.” Zang Fang said without hesitation.

Suzuki Kyou was quiet for a while. Zang Fang waited for him to process what he had heard. 'Was I being so blunt? I should have just used my other connection to find it.' He thought to himself, but the idea that he was someone not a complete stranger with her was drilling his being.

”Why?” Suzuki Kyou asked, sounding genuinely confused.

Zang Fang grinned. Whoever would ever hear their conversations would not believe Suzuki Kyou could feel emotions. Let alone show it in the inflections of his voice. He was pleased the guy was letting his guard down.

'I am being a bastard again.' Zang Fang did not care. At least he wanted to talk to her and see how things were going between her and Suzuki Kyou.

If she was happy, he would just apologize regarding that night before he backs off completely.

”I missed he-I mean your engagement party, right? At least I can give her a gift.” Zang Fang said, quickly explaining himself.

Suzuki Kyou grunted before going silent. ”No.” He flat out refused.

”Huh? What do you mean, no?” Zang Fang was dumbfounded. Was his cover blown already because of his almost blurted out mistake from earlier?

”No, means no need to give her an engagement gift.” Suzuki Kyou said.

Zang Fang chuckled nervously, ”Why not? She deserves all the gifts from all business partners, right? Since she will be your wife.” He said forcedly.

”Fine. Send the gift here. I will give it to her.” Suzuki Kyou said before he hang up.

Zang Fang could only smile helplessly. 'Could you not show how much you care for being possessive?' He silently asked before he stood up and looked for the strongest alcohol in the house.
