68 Break-up (1/2)

'Interesting… He is really doing it. There is no way she could fake it like that.' Shadow commented in his mind as he watched his Miss run towards the hospital, back to her apartment and Wuxing who started chasing after her.

With the way they behaved, it was almost impossible to fake it so Shadow quickly believed that Wuxing was serious about their deal. His feelings for Dongmei should also be real as Wuxing's chase after her didn't look like an act.

Shadow even started thinking that Wuxing actually loved Dongmei, but knowing he couldn't be with her, he decided to take the offer and end his relationship with her. He knew it was for the better, but he couldn't handle Dongmei's crying, chasing after her.

Unfortunately, Shadow didn't have too much time to contemplate on that topic as he had to rush after them. He already cursed himself enough for not taking too many tools for this mission. If he only took some bugs and hearing station with him, he would be able to listen to everything they talked in the house without needing to eavesdrop on the roof.

After taking the suitcase with the rifle, the guards also followed after them all and soon everyone was rushing after each other. When Dongmei ran into the hospital, she looked down, covering her face with her hair as she quickly reached the elevator, and pushing the button to call for it without hesitation. It just happened that the elevator was already stationed at the bottom floor which allowed Dongmei to quickly enter, setting her destination to the top floor.

Before the elevator doors closed, Wuxing entered the building as well with two guards following him and he dashed towards it while shouting her name once again, ”Dongmei!” When the guards saw her face, they noticed that there were a few new tear streams on her cheeks and they immediately felt anger, feeling like to beat Wuxing up.

He tried to reach the elevator before it closed but Wuxing was too late, missing it by less than a second. He hurriedly clicked at the button to call for the next elevator but it would take some time before it came. It would be long too late when he arrives at the top as Dongmei would already close herself in the apartment.

Wuxing was no longer acting according to the plan anymore but everything was spontaneous. The plan was to go to the jungle and shoot some targets before arguing once again over something. Their initial fight was supposed to just start everything but it led to the change of plans. Wuxing didn't know what Dongmei was thinking so he had to improvise.

”Let's use the stairs!” Seeing there was no other option, Wuxing dashed towards the staircase and planned to quickly rush towards the final floor in hope to see Dongmei again. He wanted some sign from her of what they were doing else they could easily mess this up.

Unfortunately, before he could even go up the stairs, he was caught by one of the guards who asked quietly, ”Why are you chasing after her so hurriedly? Wouldn't it be harder to make her dislike you if you suddenly start chasing after her like that?” Wuxing's main goal was to break up with Dongmei so the way he acted right now was definitely somewhat suspicious.

Wuxing shrugged his hand off and explained in a whisper, ”Obviously I know that. I am chasing after her so this scene doesn't leave a big impact in her mind. We don't want her to hate men because of me. You saw her just now. I didn't plan for any tears to fall. Dongmei is a strong woman. How hurt she has to be to shed a tear just because she fell?” They were still in the lobby so if they started shouting then the whole building would know and it would greatly ruin Dongmei's reputation.

Without waiting for their response, Wuxing dashed up the stairs and the guard without a suitcase followed after him while the other decided to take a lift. They couldn't just leave a rifle their Miss took on the ground and dragging it up to the last floor was not an option either.

When Wuxing reached the top, Dongmei just happened to be closing the doors of the apartment. He didn't wait and dashed forward with his heart beating madly from all the sprinting a moment ago. Before Dongmei could lock the doors, Wuxing opened it once again, only to have it blocked by the security chain on the other side which Dongmei managed to hook just as she entered.

'Smart…' Wuxing praised her in his mind for such a smart move but he didn't have time for that anymore so quickly called out apologetically while putting his shoe in between the doors and its frame, ”Dongmei, I'm sorry. Let me in so we can talk.” The guard also arrived at that time, standing closely behind Wuxing.

Dongmei who was leaning over the doors from the other side still had a bit painful expression but it wasn't because she was hurt by Wuxing's words but rather the fall which was quite painful. She could take Wuxing's slaps just fine and even liked it but such fall was just annoying. Since the moment she arrived in the apartment, she couldn't stop rubbing her butt cause of it, trying to ease the pain.

Hearing no response, Wuxing called out once again, trying to get some signal from her, ”Dongmei, say something. Just talk to me.”

The guard was just about to text Shadow so he could make help them in this situation when Dongmei finally answered with an upset voice, ”I'm not talking to you… It hurts...”

Wuxing sighed in relief, finally understanding why their plan changed. The guards would think it's her feelings that got hurt but hearing her words, Wuxing understood that it was her butt after all.
