618 A Love For Thorns (1/2)

Ying was dumbfounded to hear everyone around her. What lover's quarrel? That word didn't even exist in her dictionary! But only because she never had a lover before.

Han Bohai found her expressions so amusing that he grew a little more brazen as he slyly moved behind her and his arms wrapped around her waist. Ying only felt his presence when his chin was propped on her shoulder and his hot breath hit directly at her ear making her body stiffen.

”If it's a lover's quarrel, I gladly bow my head before you,” his whispering made her breath harsher.

But the surprising thing was how she wasn't trying to escape his touch at all. In fact, her back slowly eased up and leaned into his embrace.

”It's not a lover's quarrel. I'm still not over the fact that you didn't call me.”

The side of his face brushed against her ear as he said, ”My dear tsundere girlfriend, don't forget you didn't call either.” He exhaled a heavy breath as he said in disappointment, ”While I was yearning to hear your voice, you're actually planning a party. How cruel of you!” His voice got deeper as he added, ”I believe you're turning me into a masochist. Because even if you hurt me, I feel like I can't stop myself from loving you.”

Ying bit her bottom lip. She completely didn't think of the fact that while she was waiting for his call, she could have called herself. It was safe to say that whatever urgent matter he had to solve in the Capital, he had done his best to finish it as soon as possible just so he could fly back to her side to pester her again.

From the teasing voices to laughter, the surrounding people decided to leave the pair alone. Besides, it was obvious that this pair wasn't looking for third-wheelers. Or more like, they were blatantly disregarding the third-wheelers' presence as they were in their own world.

”By the way, why did you throw this party?”

Ying didn't hesitate before answering, ”It's for my best friend. His one and only bachelor party.”

”Where is your best friend? I should say hi.”

”I didn't invite him.”

Once again, there was another person who was left dumbstruck to hear that.

”Are you serious?” Han Bohai couldn't help asking.

”Ying Jie is very serious,” came the reply, and Han Bohai had to look up. He saw Ah-Si walking over with Nora. ”As my Ying Jie said, she didn't invite the man of the night.”

Han Bohai pressed his lips together and Ying tilted her head to look at him as she asked, ”You have anything to say?”

He immediately shook his head saying, ”Nope! I'm just suddenly very happy to know that I was not the only person who wasn't invited.” Then he shifted his eyes to Ah-Si and smiled politely, ”It's been a while since we last met Xiao Si. I thought you wouldn't come back from New York.”

”Ah-Si, how do you know him?” Ying asked as she heard the exchange of words between them.

”We studied together from kindergarten to Junior High,” answered Ah-Si. ”Although we can't be called the best of friends, we still are pretty familiar.”

”And here I thought you're just a good assistant,” came the voice of Dylan who also followed Ah-Si. His eyes shifted to Han Bohai as he went on, ”You hid your identity well. Deceiving people.”
