Chapter 145 - Make you fall in love with me (2/2)

”See. That worked. Are you falling in love with me yet? You're blushing...” He smiled at Lena's flushed face.

”I am not blushing. I am angry. Angry from your nonsense.”

Ming laughed. ”I won't tease you anymore. Finish your food, I will leave first.” Ming stood up from his seat.

”Wait.” Lena called out. ”Why did you fall in love with Eva Wu?”

Ming turned around with a big grin. ”Lena, are you jealous already? We have not started dating yet. It's okay, I am faithful to one woman only.”

Lena put a hand on her forehead and looked down. This guy was giving her a headache. ”I am not jealous. I am very curious.” She looked back up to him.

”She makes me forget how ugly the world is. She makes me remember that there are still some good things in the world. She didn't need my money, nor my power. She accepted me regardless of my flaws. She was so delicate that you just want to protect every single hair on her. Her words make my day brighter.

But that is not her now. You can't always protect her. A parent will need to let go of their child someday. Eva was not made to be up here, she should have stayed in her perfect little world. Her white sheets are tainted with black and red. In her mind now, she competes with the rest of us for money, power, and love. Some people change for the good, others for the worse.”

Lena stayed silent and listened to him. Everything Ming said about Eva was true. She was a sweet gentle girl who is now possessed by a demon. It is too late for her to turn back now. Such a pity.

Ming opened the door and walked out. He turned around to face Lena again. ”And I am serious when I said I will make you fall in love with me. But I am not a desperate man. I'll give you a few weeks to think about it.”

Ming closed the door and left. Lena looked at the door and then back at the table where all the delicious food was left for her to eat.

Lena sighed and walked to the sink. Her eating room has a fridge and a sink. She splashed water on her face and looked at her reflection from a small mirror on the side of the sink.

Her cheeks were slightly pink. Her heart warmed up not because of Ming but what he said. As a young woman who always dreamed about her perfect prince charming saying ”I will make you fall in love with me,” it was romantic in her mind. But somehow, she did not expect such a thing to happen in reality.

So it did catch her off guard. Lena placed a hand on her heart. She felt that it was beating normal.

Lena once squealed over falling for the second lead. Ming Zhao was the second lead of Eva's story. At one point in time, she did consider him but through all the bumps she had experienced, love has not crossed her mind until recently.

But why would she choose the second lead of someone else's story... wouldn't it be the second lead in her story? But if she choose her second lead then wouldn't that be the male lead?

Lena pounded her head on the sink. This second lead syndrome was confusing. She looked back at the mirror. To hell with it... she will know when she falls in love again.
