153 If You Canst Fight Them, Befriend Them (1/2)

”Chameleon, what took you so long?” Katherine was the first to ask when the sound of footsteps stopped in front of them. She observed Dongmei and didn't find anything wrong with her. Though, she knew there would be problems.

Just one look at Anna and anyone who knew her well would recognize that the air around her felt different. Katherine knew that Anna was fighting for Wuxing's graces yet Wuxing was already taken which hindered her case.

Instead of Wuxing replying, Dongmei spoke up on his stead, hugging tightly into his arm which showed how deeply affectionate they are towards each other.

”I still can't help but blame myself for that. I had no idea that he already arrived in Agos and after waiting for a while, I decided to leave to my hotel. Who would have thought that Chameleon saw me and actually ran all the way to the highway after my car? I only realised after more than two kilometers that someone was chasing after us. I couldn't help but cry a little.”

Dongmei wiped off the remains of her tears and one could tell she was crying a while ago from her reddened eyes. This story alone, made Anna change her strategy that she was building in her mind.

Wuxing seemed to love Dongmei too much for it to bring any effects.

”Okay, okay. You make it sound like I ran a marathon. I'm fine, okay?” Wuxing smiled and stopped her from saying anything else by rubbing her on her cheek yet Dongmei pouted, scolding him.

”Fine? You almost couldn't walk and I had to support you. What if something happened to you?” She looked at him with an obvious worry planted on her face as she caught his hand with both of her own.

'…' Anna was left speechless, finally not knowing what to do. Telling her how they kissed would make no sense as Wuxing could start hating on her and exposing everything else was also out of the question.

To top off her confusion, Dongmei continued with another breaking news.

”You are my soon to be husband. I don't want to lose you. Promise you won't unnecessarily risk your life.” Dongmei embraced him, falling into his arms and demanded softly while holding onto his chin.

Wuxing knew exactly what Dongmei was doing, yet he couldn't stop her. He had to play along for her sake.

”Okay. I promise.” He agreed after giving her a small kiss and Dongmei claimed another one before finally settling down with the corners of her mouth lifted.

”Anyway, this is Dongmei. My fiancee.” Wuxing announced it calmly as he held onto her waist, knowing it would make Dongmei shine even more.

Her heart indeed warmed up, glad that he didn't hide it from them and she immediately turned to the only person she knew from the three.

”Scarlet, long time no see!” Dongmei extended her arms for a hug and Scarlet happily dove into them, never rejecting any cuddles. She was still sleepy but she could manage for now.

”Dongmei~ I missed you…” Scarlet was a bit shorter so her head laid down directly on Dongmei's soft bubbles which Scarlet didn't want to let go.

She wasn't dumb, so she could clearly see what happened here. Knowing Wuxing's ability to transform and now the sudden affection between Dongmei and Chameleon, it wasn't hard to connect the dots.

”Liar,” Scarlet muttered as she turned her head to the side, glancing at Wuxing. She had the right to be upset. He lied to her many times already after all.

”I'm sorry, I had to lie before. The matter was too important.” Wuxing apologized as he scratched his head in a clumsy manner. She was a member of their team, yet he was hiding such an important thing from her.

”I wanted to tell you when we meet with Dongmei which happens to be now.” He patted her head, trying to pacify her but Scarlet still pouted.

”Humph, Scarlet doesn't talk to liars.” Although she said that, Scarlet pulled away from Dongmei and hugged him instead. ”But I can accept the apologies with hugs instead.”

”Okay, there, there.” Wuxing gave out a helpless smile to Dongmei rubbed Scarlet's back symbolically.
