Less than ten minutes, TianTian was already in front of a luxury boutique in SunMall. SunMall was the largest department store which belonged by Li Company. It known for its exclusive and expensive shops for high-cla.s.s people ,in other word, a luxury mall for the rich people."Maybe he has some business in this mall and he ask me to come accompany him working?" She guessed "Well, it won"t be hard right, anyway I do need to follow the contact..." She sighed one more time before entering the boutique.
"Welcome ,Ms TianTian. Please come with us" Surprisedly, two lady employees dragged her to the fitting room and in the second, had taken off her clothes. It was so fast until TianTian couldn"t stop to ask.
By just covered with a shower jacket, TianTian was being pulled to a chair, and then in a minute, her face and her hair were being transformed beautifully. One last touch was helping her to put on the dress...a beautiful white purplish short strapless gown.
And there she is, in front of a big mirror in fitting room, she was stunned for her own appearance. Of course she ever dressed up herself but never could turned her like this. She was now looked like a fairy from a modern fairy tales.
"Beautiful..." A whispers came to her ear, a very familiar voice.
TianTian looked aware to the reflection of the voice owner in the mirror. Somehow she felt shy and nervous, to be seen by him in this look. Besides, its too close ...she wanted to stay away from him...but...
LiMingHu touched both of her shoulders,
"Don"t move! I want to enjoy seeing my beautiful girl for a moment." LiMingHu examined the reflection of TianTian, from her hair till legs,
"She is really beautiful...and She is mine."
And then he took out a silver necklace, it has tears shape with diamonds. It was put on her neck, as TianTian still admiring the necklace , LiMingHu kissed softly her right back shoulder.
"LiMingHu !!" He did it again...this time...
"Don"t worry...I won"t do anything else" He smiled to her and talked softly "It is just a small reward...for being beautiful..."
"Deg..deg..degdegdeg." TianTian could felt her heart started to beat fast. For a moment she felt being trapped in the beast"s eyes, they were soft but has a deep desire...desire of belonging her.
"Come..." LiMingHu smoothly hold her hands and walked her out.
"Wait...where are we going to?" asked TianTian , while she also noticed that every employee who pa.s.sed by them bowed politely to the king until they got in the car. Even though they didn"t comment anything about TianTian"s appearance, she felt shy but what Tiantian didn"t realize that after they were gone , many of those employees grabbed their smartphones and typed something on it. In the minutes, there was a new rumour in internet world that for the first time, LiMingHu, the President of Li Company has a girlfriend...the handsome monk maybe not a monk after all the time...
As the car moving, TianTian still tried to repeat the same question,
"Mr Li, would you kindly tell me where are we head to?"
"We are going to the party. You come to accompany me as my companion"
"Finally...the explanation...the party? a company party? Is it the one that WenWen mentioned before? Thanks G.o.d that WenWen isn"t go there, or.... wait ,why my hands feel warm?" Then TianTian realized that LiMingHu didn"t yet to take off her hand since they entered the car.
"Mr Li,...please let go my hand"
But LiMingHu just stared to his smartphone, pretended not hearing her.
"I missed her so much today. Actually I want to hug her, kiss her and more, but I can"t so at least I won"t let go this hand."
"LiMingHu !!" She scolded.
The king stared back to her, smiled evilly
"Ms TianTian , are you saying I am not allowed to hold my girl"s hand? What kind of girlfriend who doesn"t allow her boyfriend to hold her hand? Especially in the party later, I hope you can behave well as my girl."
"..." TianTian knew the act of LiMingHu was indeed still in a proper line. But already so long her hand wasn"t being held by a man, it made her felt uneasy and shy. Oh. well, she was indeed promised to behave as his girl so she became silent and try to keep her mind busy than just listening her heartbeat kept beating fast.
"Fine ,he wants me to behave as his girl, maybe its a good chance to ruin this image of his girl. By that, he will disappointing and then dump me...and I"ll be free...now...what should i do..."
LiMingHu, in other side, also busy with his thought.
"Is it wise to do?" Taking this girl beside him to the party, is same like introducing her to the world as his girl; well it will make this girl can"t run away from him but.... It also means that he shows TianTian openly to other men,and he hated that idea so much..."
Actually he preferred to lock this girl in his room and never let her go at all. If it isn"t the demand from "Him"... To proof that LiMingHu was not serious with this girl, he must dared to bring her to every formal party where "He" was involved...
Then they arrived in SunHotel, a five-star hotel owned by Li Company of course, a luxury hotel for the high cla.s.s. Before they went out of the car, LiMingHu looked at her and warned her again,
"Remember you must stay with me all the time and don"t say or do anything else...and don"t smile to other men!!"
"So are you saying that I just have to act like your doll in the party?" TianTian spoke her mind, meaned to criticise him but LiMingHu took it with a smile...
"Exactly..." He said proudly, "as my beautiful doll..." The car door was opened and he pulled her out of the car.
And right at that moment, suddenly flashes of cameras stroke TianTian"s eyes. There were abundant reporters stormed LiMingHu with questions...but all of them sounded asking the same thing,
"Mr Li, who is the woman beside you?
"Mr Li, is she your new girlfriend?"
"Mr Li, which family does she come from?"
"Mr Li..."
As becoming a sudden celebrity, TianTian felt dizzy with a rush of light flashes from their camera. Without giving any words, the king kept holding TianTian"s hand, walk straight forwardly to the ballroom where having less reporters...
Noticing the attendance of LiMingHu, made all eyes searched him and then they looked to TianTian ,examined her.
Many whispers mostly came from the women guests. TianTian could felt admiration mixed with jealousy stares sharply aimed her.
"Who is that girl, she able to come with this cold king...?"
"She was not that beauty, only the necklace is gorgeous...I still more beautiful than her but why? She must be come from strong influence rich family!"
"unbelievable..."
"unacceptable..."
Since they entered the place, the king finally released her hand, but he put her hand around his arm, demanding her not to let go his arm as they walked to greet from one to another guests. "This beast really sticking like a glue"
And for the first time TianTian realized that LiMingHu was really a public figure.
She could see each people who greeted LiMingHu, were trying to lick his boots with their sweet talks. And the beast had already masked himself as the king of business, he was also didn"t give any chance for anyone to find out anything about her at all...as he always diverted any question about TianTian, or if anyone tried to ask TianTian directly, before she answered it, LiMingHu took a step and answered it for her so TianTian only could smiled as his order.
Not so far from them, YuFang, the Whitefox who looked managing the party busily, widened his eyes when he noticed TianTian. "The little bunny can be this attractive ,no wonder the lion couldn"t resist to catch her alive",
For a minute, he was raptured by TianTian"s appearance but then he managed to focus back to his job. YuFang walked forward to them and greeted TianTian politely with his gentle smile. TianTian was happy to see YuFang, she wanted to smile back to him but LiMingHu reminded her about his warning by purposely hold her wrist and dragged her closely to him,as he also want to warn YuFang, "This is my girl, stay away!"
YuFang pretended not to notice it, and reminded LiMingHu that it was the time for him to give the speech.
As LiMingHu"s name was called to give a speech; LiMingHu finally must let her alone.
"Stay where i can see you. Don"t go anywhere! I"ll be not long..."
LiMingHu then left her alone as he also dragged YuFang with him.
"Fiuuh, so tired" TianTian watched LiMingHu stepped up to the stage and started his speech. Some reporters below stage seemed not patience to gave him questions.
"I hope he stuck there..." Along the time, TianTian kept thinking how could she fade away his attention to her if she really acted like a doll here...
As a waiter walked toward her to offer the wine, she got an idea...
She took the wine and gulp down it at once...
"Maybe if she looked drunk enough, it would humiliated that beast...drinking three or four gla.s.ses should be enough..."
So even though she was not fond with alcohol drink but she continued drinking the second wine...the third...and then...
before she took the fourth gla.s.s of wine from another waiter, a familiar old voice called her name in gentle,
"Tian Er ?" The voice sounded surprised.
TianTian turned around to see the voice source, and she was also happily surpised,
"Uncle Sam...?" She looked to the old man in fifth who sit on the wheelchair accompanied by a beautiful lady.
"It is a surprise to see you here, TianEr..."
"Me too, Uncle Sam ,its been a long time and....your legs ,what happened, Uncle?" As the alcohol effect started to kick in, TianTian kneeled closely to the wheelchair of Uncle Sam, ignoring how odd it looked to others.
Uncle Sam seemed happy to see TianTian"s reaction, he patted her hand gently.
"Things happened, Tian Er....I lost my walking ability since 10 years ago...because of a car accident"
"Oooh, I am so sorry to hear it Uncle..."
She remembered when she was in elementary age, as one of the closest friend of her Grandpa; Uncle Sam often come visited Grandpa only to play chess with him. Sometimes he even brought his granddaughter with him, a shy little girl that TianTian loved played with. But at that time, Uncle Sam still could walk. It was really a long time. Since TianTian entered junior high school, she never saw Uncle Sam came to visit her Grandpa. "Now I know why..."
Now as she had drank three gla.s.ses of wine, the alcohol effect really influenced her actions. She started cry, unable to control her tears...coz seeing Uncle Sam, reminding her to her beloved Grandpa,
"I...hik hik...really sorry Uncle...hik hik"
"Now Now....don"t cry like that. It will ruin your pretty face...Ms Chen.." The lady beside him seemed understand what to do ,she gave TianTian a nice handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Thanks...." *sssnnoorttt..."hik hik..."
"Well, what is it that really make you sad, my dear? I know it must not only because my unfortunate legs..."
"I am sorry ,Uncle...I...remember my Grandpa...hik hik....I am...reallly misss himmm"
"Yeah...I miss him too..." Uncle Sam smiled sadly, but he appreciated TianTian for so doted on her grandpa, "I wish my granddaughter can be like her too.."
Then a man approached them in hurry, he bowed down to Uncle Sam, for coming late from the restroom.
"Why the back of this man lookssss familiar to me?" thought TianTian, and when the man turned back. They looked at each other and stunned a second. TianTian turned around and wishes to disappear at once from there but it was impossible, he saw her already...
"TianTian !!! What are you doing here???"
"Hiiii....brother Kang..."
"Oh sh*t , my brother here....whhyyyy ooh He works for Uncle Sam???.. Oh Nooo...i"m doomeddd. Brother Kang eill be sssoo angryy if he know that shee made a deall with thisss bea.s.ssttt? if they met...Waittttt...he seem not knowing it yet..." In her drunk, TianTian tried to keep her mind stay clear.
TianTian excused herself from Uncle Sam, but asked permission politely to speak with her brother for a while...
Then she dragged him to the unseen corner. TianTian absolutely forgot about the beast"s warning...
"Brother Kang, i cannn explainnnn..."
TianKang, the first brother of TianTian was a strict oldest brother who sometimes acts like their father to discipline them everytime they did wrongs. The problem is he"s also the most stubborn one if talking about morales. He smelled her mouth,
"You drunk??? Since when you love to drink, did you forget Dad"s teaching about alcohol hah?!! And this gown, dressing like this! Tell me the truth, with who you come to this place? outsiders supposed can"t come without special invitation. Are...you come with a man?"
"Sh***t Whatttt a hunchhh...Brootheer you are gooddd....."
"I comeeee...with a frienddd...?"
"Who?..WenWen? ..Don"t lie, I know she couldn"t attend this party. What"s really going on here?"
"I...I..."
"If you couldn"t answer then you go home with me right now!"
TianKang looked really upset, besides that he realised how attractive her sister right now, it"s danger to leave her here, especially drunk like this. Any beasts among the rich man in this party could easily eat her up. He pulled TianTian"s hands and planned to ask permission to Mr Sam for taking his sister home.
" I...I..can"t....wait..." TianTian sudden remembered the cold anger look of LiMingHu.
At that moment,
"Bukk..." Unprepared, a hit laid down on TianKang"s face very hard...making him felt down on the floor.
"No one allowed to hold my girl"s hand except me"
"Noooo...!!" TianTian so shocked, she wanted to check TianKang"s condition, but LiMingHu immediately hold and dragged her closely,
"And you.... YOU HAVE DISOBEY ME!!"
"Let me gooooo, noooo...I want to see him..." Following her instinct, she bit LiMingHu"s hand hardly.
"AAKH" His hand was bleeding, but what did hurt him more was seeing TianTian caring another man in front of him.
"Are you okayyy?" TianTian helped TianKang to stand up.
Angried with TianTian"s act, the king finally lifted her body up, shouldered her like a thing and out of the room, witnessed by the reporters and other guests who then made it as the top hot gossip for a week. Some reporter successfully captured the moment ,but YuFang, who followed him just now did his job without being instructed, he made sure that no pictures or any bad reports came out from that room.
"Really a troublesome jealousy lion..." he just could complaint in his mind.
Meanwhile TianKang just stood freezely.
"Was... LiMingHu just now shoulder my sister out from this room?" he asked to himself, unbelieving what just happened.
Uncle Sam who witnessed everything just now just sighed...looked sadly to the door where TianTian and LiMingHu got out from.
"What a poor TianEr..."
While dragging TianTian, LiMingHu instructed to open a room for him. When they entered a room, a vip room.which usually be used several times by LiMingHu to take a rest; the king threw TianTian harshly on the bed.
Before TianTian protested, LiMingHu had climbed up on her and stared angrily to her. They stared to each other so closely, it made TianTian"s heart beat so fast again...
Then the king bit her neck harshly but also sensually.
"Nooo....you can"t touch me! GO AWAY!" TianTian only could screamed as she felt dizzy to fight back.
And the king let his anger controlled him, he didn"t stop,..no he won"t stop...
"ITS YOUR FAULT TO MAKE ME ANGRY!"
"What do you mean...WHAT DID I DO WRONGGGG?"
"YOU SMILED AND TALKED WITH ANOTHER MAN!"
"But he is Uncle Sam, an old mannn?"
"YOU LET OTHER MAN TO HOLD YOUR HANDS!"
"But he is brother Kang, my own brotherrrr?....this beast is irrationally jealousssss to themmm....!!!"
"AND YOU BIT MY HAND, SO I BITE YOU BACK NOW!"
He continued bit her neck, her collarbones...he started put his hands inside her under gown...
"STOP...STOPP.....I"M SORRY...I"M SORRY OKAY....STOP...stop, please...hik hik" TianTian cried, she so scared.... she couldn"t resisted now coz the alcohol weakened her, but even though she wasn"t drunk, she doubted that she could fight back this beast...
Seeing the tears come again from TianTian"s eyes. LiMingHu sudden taken off his hands and got out from the bed, silently he entered the bedroom and showered him in full cloth with cold water.
"Sh**t!" He cursed himself,
"This girl always gets him out of control... An anger to see her with other men, an uncontrollable desire to touch her....this girl has make him mad"
At the bed, TianTian was so scared, she kept crying...she want to run from the room, but the alcohol mixed with crying made her so sleepy.
A couple minutes later, LiMingHu finished the shower and got out from the bedroom with just a towel covered his underbody. He found out TianTian had in a deep sleep. He laid beside TianTian, noticing TianTian was talking in her sleep,
"I" ..m so...ry..."
LiMingHu gently touch her face, wiped the tears and then kissed her eyes softly.
"I forgive you, little girl...lets just sleep..."
Then he slowly closed his eyes while his hand patted TianTian"s shoulders several times before finally stop.
