53 Push Her Buttons (1/2)

”Um... What are you doing here?” she asked softly.

”Probably the same as you are?” Hue Chi replied.

'Tsch... What a pain! He asks me to sit but refuses to give me a proper answer when I ask him a question. Great.'

”I'm here because I can't sleep and need to walk off my wakefulness.”

In a low manly tone, Hue Chi replied, ”Same here.” It was true. He couldn't sleep after the dream so he decided to change the environment by walking around.

Yu Sha hated his way of talking. She found him hard to believe. What happened to that girlfriend of his? She thought, and her thought manifested. ”By yourself?”

”Should I be with someone else?”

”Um... well, why didn't you ask your girlfriend to walk with you?”

Somehow Hue Chi couldn't help but love seeing every part of her reaction. ”Which one?”

Yu Sha slammed her hand on the table. 'Bastard!' So, he had more than one girl? What did girlfriend mean to him anyway? She already did not like his attitude the last time, but she didn't think he could be an enemy of womankind.

”Pfft... hahaha.” Prince Hue Chi laughed aloud at an infuriated and annoyed Yu Sha.

He was supposed to get mad at her for calling him a bastard. No one had ever dared to call him names or raised their voice at him but somehow, her reaction amused him and made him forget everything else.

She was bewildered at the way he laughed. Was he kidding? Or was he being serious? She would have a hard time figuring out if she were to. She was very gullible in that area - talking to men and discerning what was real and what was not.

”You're... you're kidding right?” she stuttered as she attempted to get her answers directly from him rather than giving herself a headache in finding out on her own.

He finally stopped laughing and turned to her. ”Kao Sheng is just the daughter of my father's colleague. There is nothing more than that between us.” He quickly and swiftly cleared his relationship with Kao Sheng.

She leaned back in her chair. ”Hmm... it certainly didn't feel that way from her vibe.”

”Could you have fallen for me?” He looked at her as he inched his handsome face closer and winked at her. He implied that maybe she had fallen in love with him, at first sight, to be able to sense that vibe from Kao Sheng.

”Hmm... I see. I thought you are a shy person but you certainly don't talk like one.”
