1167 Words
His eyes stared at me like I was a ghost. Yeah, a ghost from his past and so as he. Turning my back I blended in with the crowd.
Deep thoughts were circling me, and unexpectedly I bump into a wall of meat.
"Ai, Sorry," I apologized however when I raised my head my eyes nearly pop out.
"F-First Prince!"
His burning gaze of anger was aimed at me.
"Aiyo what a small world, how's the first prince?"
"Oh, surprisingly it was also you, Crazy bitter shrimp."
He felt his mouth still showered with a bitter taste when he saw her.
"Haha, then I will see First Prince next time or maybe not. Aiyo, I can see your face twitching and show your petty side," I said honestly which made him roar in laughter.
He held my wrist and pulled me out of the crowd. We entered a tea house finally settling on a seat, he started ordering a lot.
"Ahaha your highness is a real glutton and also is addicted to sweets?," I look at him fantastically.
"Just now, to wash off the bitter taste in my mouth. Because seeing you makes my tooth ache with bitterness."
In the whole afternoon, we were surprisingly getting along. Our conversation is of course filled with nothing but mockery and sarcasm to each other.
Bidding farewell I left the shop.
"Crazy shrimp, let this Darren accompany you," he said with finality and it seems like he doesn't take a no for an answer.
Upon reaching my manor he entered.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?"
"Your manor seems inviting. Tonight you are honored this prince is going to sleep in your humble abode."
Honorable my butt! Why didn't this crazy prince tell me directly he has no place to go.
"Okay, then Daren must pay me twenty gold coins per night in your stay!"
"What!? Are you a con! Your charge is higher than those inns!"
His spit flew into my face, using my robe to wipe it, I look at him like he was insane.
"Aye hold your spit, this young goddess is already letting you stay in my beautiful abode. You can make my servants make any adjustments in any way to make your stay comfortable."
Grunting he pulled out his pouch and threw it to me. I happily counted it.
"Show our young master his room. Be sure to let him settle in the hibiscus courtyard."
The servants bowed and ushered him.
However upon reaching my courtyard, I could hear rushing footsteps.
"Crazy Shrimp!/ Chu Qie!!"
The brothers were huffing and puffing while pulling each other's robes.
"You're letting my brother stay in here without pay!"
"You're letting this monster brother stay in here?!"
I sweatdrop forgetting that g*n Liuyun is staying in here.
"Now, now, isn't it a good idea so that you could cultivate your feelings as brothers."
"No way!!," they both shouted.
They were bickering and bickering that my ears are bleeding already. They were unstoppable that I and San'er were already pushing two handkerchieves in our ears, blocking our ears.
I am sleeping peacefully when a gentle breeze blew and made me shiver. I woke up and found the window open. Did I forget to... Nah who am I joking, looking around. I nearly jump in fright because beside me is a man lying down. His red orb eyes are staring at me.
"Oh, what is a stray cat doing in here?," I angrily kick him out of the bed.
"Brutal as usual," he stood up and held my chin. I rolled my eyes and stared at him angrily.
"Ex-husband should leave my humble abode. Or I'll brutally kick you out here with a sword!" I threw a punch in his face. Ladies, a slap is so yesterday, the new trend today is a punch!
He simply evaded my attack and caught my wrist.
"What do you want? Didn't we already agree that once we break the destructive effect of the ring? You would go left and I would go right!?"
This General is quite confusing that even I is confused on how his head runs.
"Ah, about that let me ask, what should we do if we are just running around circles?"
"Then let's straighten that stupid circle and make it into parallel lines!"
He roared in laughter catching me off-guard but this time I need to harden my heart.
"Hai, hai, hai, leave me alone I don't have time to play with you."
"A little tail told me," with every word he spoke I am starting to feel nervous. Unconsciously I held my tummy and glare at him.
"And base from your protective stance. You are indeed pregnant with my child. That means our story has yet to end."
Swiftly he tried to hit a pressure just near my neck to render me unconscious but being high alert from the start I saw through his motive.
Quickly I used my hand to intercept his move, I hit his wrist redirecting it to another direction. He was quietly surprised at my action.
Then nimbly freeing my other I hand, I used it to threw a strong punch aiming for his chest. However, he easily stopped my attack by blocking it using his palm. Surprising me and taking advantage of that, he captured my other arm then locking it behind my back, making our bodies closer and closing my chances of attacking him.
"Witch, I never knew you would pull a stunt back in the Soul City."
Oh, remember what I said about being able to hate but never will I take vengeance? I'll willingly eat those words! I am seeing the b****y color of red!
Secretly summoning a dagger from my hand being lock behind, I glared at him then used my left leg to kick his left rib. Caught off guard I freed my hand from his grip then swished the dagger with a killing intent.
How dare he! Did I ever plan to crawl on him? Nooo~~ It was I that has been crawled onto! I should be the one complaining!
Due to my sudden attack, he hurriedly let his body fell on the bed to avoid my attack. I am rejoicing at his retreat but then his eyes glinted with craftiness and he smiled deviously.
"Caught you," he said in a sing-song voice and before I realized it. He was waiting for me to lose my rationality then strike me back. It was already too late! In a timely manner when my dagger was near his neck he caught my wrist then forcefully he pulled me near him. Then using his free hand he strikes the pressure point just near my neck.
And all I could do is scream inside.
'Kidnap! Help!' But who could hear me? It will be only me right!
I felt my body slump on top of him. And before I lost conscious his smirking hateful face is the last thing I saw.
