Da Tian Ting noticed Mac Kai An’s arrogance was missing, and she nudged Feng Kai Ze.
‘Hey,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘Did you play a dirty trick?’
Da Tian Ting was happy no one was going to hurt Feng Kai Ze. But his ability to destroy Mac Kai An’s life with one phone call meant he wasn’t an ordinary rich pretty boy. It also meant the chance of their relationship working out was slim. Her head ached thinking about the big difference between their social statuses. Was she overthinking things or was it inevitable?
‘Now do you believe me?’ Feng Ka Ze said. ‘All you need to do is always stay by my side, and let me deal with the threats. Look at how everything turned out in our favor.’
Feng Kai Ze didn’t want to see Da Tian Ting apologise to anyone who hurt her.
‘I can smell something on you,’ Da Tian Ting said.
‘What smell?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘Body odor,’ Da Tian Ting said.
Feng Kai Ze was disappointed Da Tian Ting didn’t praise his ingenuity.
‘But I love it,’ Da Tian Ting said.
‘Really?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘Yes,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘Don’t misunderstand. I love your ingenuity, not you.’
‘I don’t care what you love about me as long you love it,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
Mac Kai An was in no state of mind to be envious of Da Tian Ting having a man like Feng Kai Ze love Da Tian Ting. Mac Kai An called everyone on her phone, but no one told her why she was dumped by her agency and why all her film contracts were cancelled. Mac Kai An wanted to know why everyone treated her like the plague when a moment ago she was a star in their eyes.
‘What did you two do to me?’ Mac Kai An asked.
‘Now you know the price you have to pay, it’s too late,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘You…’ Mac Kai An said.
Mac Kai An held her tongue. Someone who made her lose everything overnight wasn’t someone she could offend.
‘Sir, who are you?’ Mac Kai An asked in a respectful tone of voice.
Mac Kai An didn’t know Feng Kai Ze’s ident.i.ty, but he taught her that he was someone who had the world at his fingertips.
‘You’re not worthy to know who I am,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘I gave you many warnings, but you didn’t listen. Now you know what happens if you offend me.’
‘You…’ Mac Kai An said.
Mac Kai An lost everything. She couldn’t express her anger like in the past. She needed to find a way to get Feng Kai Ze to forgive her.
‘Miss Mac, take a look at this…’ an a.s.sistant said.
Mac Kai An looked at the scandalous photos of her in bed with directors. The headlines attached to the photos were along the lines of starlet sleeps her way to the top, and falls from grace. There were also photos of her breast implants surgery.
Mac Kai An s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone, and stomped on the phone.
‘Who posted the photos online?’ Mac Kai An asked.
Mac Kai An wanted to know who hacked onto her laptop and found out all her secrets.
‘How did you do this?’ Mac Kai An asked Feng Kai Ze.
‘Didn’t you see me make a phone call?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
Feng Kai Ze turned to face a concierge.
‘She doesn’t have two million dollars to pay for all the rooms here,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘Bring my girlfriend’s suitcase to her room.’
The apartment hotel owner came to greet Feng Kai Ze.
‘Sir, since Miss Mac can’t afford to pay two million dollars then your one point eight million dollars count,’ the owner said.
‘Boss, Miss Mac won the bid so his bid doesn’t count,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘Boss, you can confirm with Miss Mac if she still wants to pay for all the rooms. If she wants to then we’ll leave. If she doesn’t want to then we’ll stay, and pay according to this apartment hotel’s fixed daily rates.’
Feng Kai Ze loved his frugal fierce apple. He wondered why Da Tian Ting didn’t use the same confidence to put down Mac Kai An earlier.
The owner knew Feng Kai Ze had no obligations to pay one point eight million dollars since Mac Kai An won the bid.
‘Miss Mac, will you be paying…’ the owner said.
‘Don’t dream about it,’ Mac Kai An said. ‘This dump isn’t worth two million dollars.’
‘If you don’t want to pay for my apartment hotel rooms then why did you chase away my guests?’ the owner asked.
‘Right now I’m in a bad mood,’ Mac Kai An said. ‘Don’t ask me nonsense.’
‘Bad mood?’ the owner asked. ‘It’s me who is in a bad mood. You have to compensate my loss.’
‘Boss, if you want compensation then get it from those two people,’ Mac Kai An said. ‘It’s their fault I lost everything, and can’t pay you two million dollars.’
‘Miss Mac, aren’t you scared of being struck by lightning?’ Da Tian Ting asked. ‘You chased away boss’ guests. It’s you who has to compensate for his loss. You won the bid, but now you’re backing out and pushing the responsibility onto an innocent party. Miss Mac, if you don’t have money then don’t act like a rich person and insult people. You should be scared your insanity will kill you.’
Mac Kai An wanted to insult Da Tian Ting, but she didn’t want to offend Feng Kai Ze.
‘In the future make up your mind before you walk outside your home,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘Decide whether you want to wear clothes or walk around naked. The transparent clothes you’re wearing are a public eyesore. Don’t go around flaunting your one dollar lopsided plastic breast implants. No one would even pay a cent to touch them. And don’t act like you’re a gangster. If you want to see what gangsters look like I can help you make a call to deliver gangster DVDs to your home.’
‘You…’ Mac Kai An said.
Mac Kai An was going crazy listening to Da Tian Ting’s insults.
Feng Kai Ze applauded Da Tian Ting’s confidence.
‘That’s my confident woman,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘I want to hear you insult her more.’
‘What are you doing?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
Da Tian Ting held Feng Kai Ze’s hands to stop him applauding. She only lectured Mac Kai An, because she didn’t want him to waste money compensating the owner’s loss when it was Mac Kai An who defaulted.
Da Tian Ting regretted lecturing Mac Kai An, because she wanted to avoid trouble like people taking revenge on her.
‘You deserve to be applauded,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘Can’t you see there are still a dozen strong men around us?’ Da Tian Ting asked. ‘What if they suddenly attack us?’
‘Gentlemen, if you don’t want to lose everything like Miss Mac then disappear right now,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
The goons immediately left the apartment hotel.
Mac Kai An was scared to stand alone in front of Feng Kai Ze and Da Tian Ting.
‘You two should wait, one day I’ll get even,’ Mac Kai An said.
Mac Kai An needed to rebuild her star status if she wanted to take revenge on Feng Kai Ze and Da Tian Ting.
Mac Kai An’s a.s.sistants followed her outside the apartment hotel.
The apartment hotel became a ghost town.
‘Boss, are you still accepting guests?’ Feng Kai Ze asked. ‘If you don’t want to serve us then we’ll go find a different place to stay.’
If Da Tian Ting wasn’t with Feng Kai Ze, he would have paid for all the rooms. He respected her frugalness, because he didn’t want her to leave him if he wasted money.
‘Of course,’ the owner said. He turned to a concierge. ‘Quickly bring the guests’ suitcase to their room.’
The concierge carried Da Tian Ting’s suitcase.
‘Boss, give me a room next to my girlfriend’s room,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘Right away sir,’ the owner said.
Feng Kai Ze smiled at Da Tian Ting.
‘Do you mind about us being neighbors?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘Would you change rooms if I mind?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
‘No,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
Wherever Da Tian Ting slept, Feng Kai Ze wanted to be nearby to watch over her. The next step he wanted to take was sleeping in the same room as her.
‘Then don’t ask pointless questions,’ Da Tian Ting said.
Feng Kai Ze walked side by side with Da Tian Ting to their rooms. That day she felt like her lowly status was elevated. It felt strange keeping her head high in front of someone like Mac Kai An. It was Feng Kai Ze’s love and support that helped her feel confident, and fall deeper for him.
