130 Promised Protection (2/2)
During their previous date, Ya Nuo texted and wrote on Huan Hei's hand, and questioned about Mei Ching's identity. She already had Huan Hei secretly take Mei Ching's used cups or any object that she was in contact with to an examination lab to match her fingerprints with Chen Ying Ying's.
The lab report came back positive, indicating that her fingerprint matched Chen Ying Ying's. Huan Hei told her the lab results during their engagement party.
Ya Nuo continued, ”You were the one who scared Gu Wing using those wall decorations, correct?”
NOTE: *** From this moment onwards, I am switching Mei Ching's name to Chen Ying Ying***
Ying Ying nodded, ”I prepared them and tricked my friend into thinking that there were missing plates for your party. I got engaged at the same place so when I knew that your occasion is set on that place, I couldn't help but test my luck.”
”Why did you risk it? Just for a prank? Did she find out that you were the one who made her into a joke so she hired people to come after you?” Huan Hei interrupted.
Ying Ying's body trembled and her dried lips were bit until the skin broke and blood stained her colorless lips red, ”I need to make her suffer. I want to see her crying and going crazy for all the stuff that she's done to me! She's only receiving a preview of a fingernail size of her retribution. You two can ask me, however many questions you want, but I can't tell you much about what really happened back then. I'm sorry, but I can't drag anyone else with me. You two are a great young couple and have a long way to go. My conscience wouldn't allow such risk.” She maintained her serious expression.
Ya Nuo nodded, ”You persuaded me to not continue asking about the story from years ago. I won't question why you are alive, yet hiding. For now, I am satisfied with your answers. I can tell that you aren't a scheming person, especially towards people who helped you. You have two options right now. Choose wisely.”
Ying Ying nodded and waited patiently for Ya Nuo to list out the two ideas. Ya Nuo knew that she had Ying Ying's full attention, so she resumed, ”First option is to tell your family that you got a new job, and from now on, you'll be living under my care. I will ensure your safety and protect you for until you decide you want to leave. The second option is to go back to your home and pretend whatever happened today never took place. If any attack happens again, you'll take whatever the heck those people want to do with you.”
Of course Ying Ying wasn't dumb enough to choose the second option, but she didn't want to go for the first option either. She was not optimistic about the first option because she had many secrets that she was afraid of accidentally slipping out. Out of the two, she couldn't choose a third route because she knew that she had no other choice, but to hide. Rather than trying her best to escape from the wraths of an evil monster, she might as well live under someone's protection.
After backspacing and retyping several times, she finally made up her mind, ”First option. I'll be in your care. But you also ahve to promise me a few things. I need to make this clear before anything else.”
