"I"m a busy man." Huang Li sighed.
"And I am a busy woman!" Fan Xiao Yao huffed.
Lately, Fan Xiao Yao"s schedule was full not just because of the miniseries she was in, it was also because of the invitations from different TV shows.
She has just started but she was gaining so much popularity already, because of that, she was considered a threat to other artists.
She was already considered as a gem by Director Gao. He was sure that her popularity would soar higher once the miniseries was out! He was even sure that she would be nominated as Rookie of the Year as long as she keeps up the good work.
"Ah, is that Huang Li?"
Huang Li turned and saw w.a.n.g Ansheng and w.a.n.g Nansheng walking towards him.
w.a.n.g Ansheng smiled, "My, my, what are you doing here?"
w.a.n.g Nansheng turned to Fan Xiao Yao. She was able to recognize her since her name has been circling around the entertainment industry. "Both of you seem close, are you dating?"
"No, Gege is my cousin." Fan Xiao Yao quickly replied.
"Is that so?"
Huang Li was quiet for a while. He never had any good relations.h.i.+p between the two sisters. He has always hated them.
During his childhood days, he was a fat kid who usually got bullied by them. They were spoiled and he was forced to get along with them by his parents.
Upon entering high school, he had lost weight already and he caught the attention of w.a.n.g Ansheng. She really was annoying and he hated her more.
w.a.n.g Ansheng: "Oh yeah, Huang Li, why don"t you drop us later? Our driver is sick, so how about taking his place?"
w.a.n.g Nansheng: "Yeah. Your father was once a driver in the w.a.n.g family. Driving should be easy, right?"
Fan Xiao Yao noticed Huang Li"s unusual quietness. She turned to look at him only to see a blank look on his face. Why was he so quiet? He should at least say something to decline them, right?
If he won"t speak up then fine! She"ll help him just this once!
Fan Xiao Yao held Huang Li"s arm and smiled at the two sisters. "I"m sorry but my cousin is not a viable right now."
w.a.n.g Nansheng raised a brow, "He looked pretty available to me." She turned to Huang Li, "You"ll drive us home, right, Huang Li?"
"I won"t." Huang Li finally spoke up.
"See?" Fan Xiao Yao stayed close to Huang Li, "Gege, let"s go greet Senior Zi Xuan. His mother is one of your patients, right?"
Fan Xiao Yao dragged Huang Li away from the two.
w.a.n.g Ansheng gritted her teeth as she glared at Fan Xiao Yao"s back. "That b.i.t.c.h."
"It looks like you have a rival in love, sister." w.a.n.g Nansheng smirked, teasing her sister.
"Shut up. She"s just his relative."
"Really now? Look at how close they are. The way his cousin looked at him is different too. There"s something off between them."
"Thank you."
Huang Li"s gentle voice was heard in the car.
Fan Xiao Yao turned to him, blinking a few times. "Huh? About what?"
"About earlier."
"Oh... That?" She chuckled a bit, "You don"t have to thank me just because of that."
The car was quiet again. Huang Li was currently driving and was looking straight on the road.
In the end, the two decided to leave early. Fan Xiao Yao noticed how Huang Li"s mood dropped after meeting the w.a.n.g sisters.
What could have happened? Fan Xiao Yao wanted to ask but she decided not to pry in his past. If he wanted to tell her about it, he would speak up.
Upon reaching her place, Fan Xiao Yao unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Thank you for dropping me."
"Hm."
"Goodnight, Gege. Take care on your way back." She leaned and kissed his cheek before she went out of the car.
Huang Li never expected her to give him a kiss on his cheek. He watched Fan Xiao Yao enter the building she was staying without looking back even once.
He touched his cheek. He could still feel the kiss that Fan Xiao Yao gave him. The warmth was still there.
What was that about?
Fan Xiao Yao"s face was in its deepest shade of red when she realized what she did. She walked in a hurry in embarra.s.sment.
Why did she suddenly do that? Was she going crazy?! Her body just acted on its own. How will she face him next time?! Thinking of what happened, she didn"t want to show herself in front of him ever again!
It was past 9 AM when s.h.i.+ Enxi woke up. She felt very sore on her lower region, she even has a hard time getting up.
When she realized that she was alone in the room, she gritted her teeth tightly. She never expected that their extreme active last night would result into this. "b.a.s.t.a.r.d! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
She tried to move to the side but it was no use, she didn"t have any strength, she felt so sore.
It was by then that Lu Mello entered their room with a tray filled with breakfast for her. With a sweet smile, he greeted, "Oh, you"re finally awake."
He placed the tray on top of the drawer that was beside the bed before he sat beside her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
If looks could kill, s.h.i.+ Enxi would have probably killed Lu Mello with her glare already.
"My body is so full of pain! It"s your fault!"
Lu Mello cleared his throat, averting his gaze from her. He was feeling a bit guilty for not being able to hold back. "I"m... Sorry for going overboard... I was just too happy."
"Too happy?! I"m going to kick your a.s.s!"
"Sweetheart, it"s not good to be this angry in the morning. I have already prepared a warm bath for you. It will help with your body"s soreness."
How she wished she could just choke him to death!
"Carry me."
Without delay, Lu Mello carried his naked wife toward the bathroom.
When she saw her body against the mirror in the bathroom, she saw purple marks on her body, especially on her neck and chest.
"You f.u.c.king d.i.c.khead! What"s this?!" She cried out. The marks that were on her body together with the soreness she was feeling was stressing her out. "I want a divorce! I don"t want to be with a beast like you!"
"You"re already married to me so I"m not accepting any divorce until the end of our days." Lu Mello calmly replied with a smile.
Upon placing her in the bathtub, s.h.i.+ Enxi splashed the warm water to him. She was like a child who was throwing a tantrum. "Get out! Get out!"
"Since you have wet me, let me join you in taking a bath. Oh well, I don"t mind taking bath again."
"..." s.h.i.+ Enxi became quiet. Her eyes went wide when she saw Lu Mello taking off his wet clothes.
"W-What are you doing?"
"I will join you." A sly smirk appeared on his lips.
