Chapter 118 - Why Would She Call Me? (1/2)

A rare gentle expression appeared on the man's face before disappearing like it was an illusion, ''Are those people here?” he asked, his voice laced with ruthlessness.

''Yes,'' The driver replied, noticing the sudden change in his expressions.

The man glanced at his wristwatch before looking at the dark sky, ”Their time is over. Drive,” He said almost in a whisper.

The next morning.

''Ahh….my head hurts,” Yu Mei squeezed her eyes shut as she rolled on the bed, ”Zixuan…get me coffee…” She shouted pressing the pillow on her face as fast as she could.

''Who is he? Are you talking about the man from yesterday?” Li Shuang asked in an aloof tone as she stepped inside the room with a bowl of hangover soup in her hand.

Yu Mei froze for a moment before throwing away her pillow. She opened her eyes and squinted adjusting her vision to the surroundings.

The bed she was sleeping on was not her usual king-sized bed, neither was the room extravagant and gaudy pink themed. It was just an ordinary small room.

''You…” It took her a moment to come to her senses as the memories of yesterday flashed in her mind.

Jun Zixuan, that scoundrel had kicked her out of the house.

She gently massaged her throbbing temples thinking about how many drinks she had yesterday. She even dreamt of her brother…Wait… ”What do you mean by the man from yesterday? And what am I doing here?”

It felt like someone has cut open her head.

Li Shuang kept the bowl on the bedside table and helped her up.

As Yu Mei leaned back on the headboard of the bed, she glanced at her questioningly.

''I had a date with my boyfriend yesterday but he could not be there so…”

”He stood you up? Unmanly!” Yu Mei scoffed as she continued to massage her forehead.

Li Shuang pursed her lips as she glanced at the woman coldly, ”When I was returning, I found you hugging a man in front of that club. Your condition looked unstable so I approached you. That man dropped us here. You were clinging to him all the way in the car.''

Yu Mei's gaze flashed slightly before she masked her expressions.

''It had nothing to do with you. Why would you approach me?”

Li Shuang appeared a bit uncomfortable with the question as she averted her gaze, ”You were drunk. I was not aware of your relationship with that man. I did not want you to be taken advantage of,” She should've ignored her but at that moment, she knew she might regret it if anything happened to her, ”Have the soup,” She said, standing up from the bed and turning around to leave the room.

''Wait!”

She paused and turned around to look at Yu Mei.

''Thank you,” Yu Mei smiled a bit as she continued, ”Li Shuang, I'll be saying this only once. You can avoid it if you want to.”

Li Shuang glanced at her with a hint of curiosity.

''Towards your boyfriend, I have no feelings. So, I won't mind it if you stop treating me like an enemy.''

”You almost kissed him,” replied Li Shuang in a low voice.

Yu Mei's lips twitched, ”It's in the past. You shouldn't think about it anymore. What has already happened won't change anymore…Besides, I have someone I love,'' she added the last sentence after contemplating a bit.

Lying was not good but she did not want to continue being at loggerheads with a nice person like Li Shuang for a man and the previous owner.

Li Shuang glanced at her, ”I…”

”Take your time. I am not asking you to be my friend. Let's just stop acting like enemies,” Yu Mei softly said, still massaging her head.
