Hunting For A Husband In A Vampire Apocalypse

Huang Qiuyan crosses her arms and frowns at the stone door . She"s been rejected a hundred and fifty-six times . She admits that it hurt a lot until she became numb to the rejection .  

How many times has this vampire king been rejected? Judging from his reaction, this must be the first time . The first time is always the hardest . She recalls the words that she said to him . She was quite harsh, wasn"t she? But then, it was he who asked her to push him away arrogantly . He ate his own medicine and now, he"s sulking inside a room .

She glances at Aiken and Han . Aiken is fiddling with his fingers nervously . Han appears calm, but the restlessness is clear in his eyes .

Her mother was never worried her that way whenever she was heartbroken due to rejection . Her mother would scold her until she would cry because her family was ashamed of her . That was one way to get over the rejection because of a man . By the end of the day, she would be heartbroken due to the words that her family said to her .

This king has people who care about him .

She looks at the door again and sighs . Though the king is always acting all high and mighty, he"s just a man who sulks inside a room when he gets rejected . Should she teach him how to handle rejection? She"s quite expert at this . She steps closer to the door and knocks .  

"Open the door . I have something to ask . "

No sound comes out . She waits for a long moment before she knocks again . "Aren"t you ashamed of yourself for locking yourself like this? You should be ashamed of yourself . Why are you making others worried about you? You are thousands of years old . You are a super old man . Have some shame and act your age . Fu Sheng, come out right now . "

She bites her tongue . Why is she using the same tone that her mother used to use on her? She lowers her voice when she speaks again, "Fu Sheng, I was a little harsh earlier . I am sorry . "

Someone used those lines on her once .  

"It"s not you . It"s me . I don"t think that I am right for you . "

Aiken coughs in the background . She ignores it .

"There are plenty of fishes in the sea . I am sure that you will find someone who is right for you . "

Han shakes his head slightly . Who else is right for him other than his true mate? It"s too embarra.s.sing to hear these things coming from a queen .

"We are just not compatible . Our hearts don"t match . I don"t feel anything when I hold your hand," She starts uttering all the common reasons for the rejections that the men had told her in the past . "My heart didn"t move . I want to feel b.u.t.terflies in my stomach . I am sorry, but your looks aren"t enough for me . You are a wonderful person, but I am just not good enough for you . "

Aiken can"t hold himself back anymore . "My queen, please stop . "

Please stop saying those things to their king . It"s insulting .

Huang Qiuyan is actually worried now .  What if this king kills himself because she rejected him? The world is already chaotic . Fu Mian will be fatherless . Who will protect that child? She presses her ear on the wall . "Fu Sheng, you can"t force someone to like you . You shouldn"t be acting like this . Think of Fu Mian . She"s waiting for you . "

Suddenly, the door slides away . She falls forward and hits a cold hard chest . Fu Sheng grabs her by her shoulder before pus.h.i.+ng her away, hard . She drops on the floor and cries out in pain . Aiken and Han step forward to help her, but a look from Fu Sheng freezes their bodies .

She turns around and looks up at him . Fu Sheng is watching her with cold and emotionless eyes . The pressure in the air is thickening by seconds . Her eyes scan him from the head to the bottom . He looks fine . Idiot Xiao Chun Dan! He made her believe that this man might be hurt because of the rejection .  

Xian Chun Dan responds immediately . [Elder Sister, I am new at this . It"s good that he"s fine . Now, you don"t have to feel guilty . ]

[Why do you think that I feel guilty? I did nothing wrong . If I go back in time, I would reject him again . ]

Fu Sheng"s gaze lingers on her for a moment . Her bruised arm doesn"t go unnoticed by him . He turns his unfeeling gaze toward Aiken . "Prepare a place for the esteemed guest . "

These words are enough to tell Aiken and Han about Huang Qiuyan"s new status in the castle .

Huang Qiuyan blinks her eyes . She"s suddenly an esteemed guest . Being a guest means living here . She has no intention of living here at all, especially after rejecting this king . Even a fool like her can feel the change in his att.i.tude .

She shouts, "I don"t want to be a guest . I want to leave this place . "

The king"s voice is quiet and low .  "Until the world is fixed, you will remain here as a guest . "

Huang Qiuyan opens her mouth to argue, but no words would come out . She realizes that her body is sinking lower on its own . There"s a heavyweight on the back of her, pus.h.i.+ng her down . The king steps toward her . He bends down on his one knee and looks into her eyes .

"Huang Qiuyan, I do not care how you lived when you were a human . You are a vampire now . You are one of my people . "  His unfeeling eyes make her shudder .  "I am your king . You will obey my commands . "
