Withered Spring.

Chapter 7 " Caught In the Act.

"I'm gonna tell her about us", Cherry Lu threatened and Chen Bo gave out a low laugh.

"Well, Nana already thought I was cheating on her even before I started seeing you, what more can possibly come between us?" he asked looking at her as his face turned ashen.

"Look Cherry, we've been good friends over the years and you wanted us to be friends with benefit with no strings attached. I disagreed and you pressed further. Now I've granted your wish right? You had better keep Nana out of this..."

"else what? Are you threatening me?" she asked standing on the bed. Just then, she spotted a figure by the window and gave out a shrieking shout. Chen Bo turned to the window and found Yei Kai standing there, not moving or flinching.

"Who are you?" He demanded and Yei Kai strode forward leisurely.

"How did you get in here?" Chen Bo added.

"If you love her so much, why would you even think of bringing another woman to an hotel?" Yei Kai asked calmly, his sunglasses shielding away his emotions.

"Did Nana send you to follow me?" He asked instead of answering Yei Kai's question and Yei Kai gave a low chuckle. He stopped squarely by the bed, picked up the cover on the bed and threw it over Cherry Lu.

"I've seen enough ma'am, I might go blind if I keep looking at you " He said and Cherry Lu turned red with embarrassment.

"Who the hell are you?" she yelled at the top of her voice.

"You are so desperate to steal another woman's husband, is it because you're so ugly and men can't bear to look at you or you're just naturally shameless?" He taunted curving his lips in a smile.

"Now, let's see what would become of the 'Lu Fabrics' when this footage comes out in public. He threatened, then turned away.

"How much do you want? Name any price, but please don't let my wife find out about this". Chen Bo pleaded and Yei Kai stopped.

"Oh! so you can still call her your wife?" He asked still backing the man.

"She's very fragile, I don't want her to..." Yei Kai cut him shut bringing out his phone from his pocket.

" You should've thought about that before you took another woman to bed". He said taking his phone to his ear.

"In the next two hours, make sure the 'Wang Group' suffers a minor setback. This is just a light punishment, if Nana suffers in the future, make them go bankrupt. As for the 'Lu Fabrics'..." Before he could complete his statement, there was random footsteps approaching. The flawless feel of high heel on the tiled floor outside the room was unmistakably intimidating. Before the door flung open, Yei Kai slipped behind the curtains.

Two lavishly dressed women stormed into the room, one of them locked the door from inside. Yei Kai peeped from behind the curtains and his eyes became wide with disbelief.

Tao Shen Chu and Yang Liu strode into the room, both dressed to the moon.

"Chen Bo Wang! You're caught in the act, do you dare to deny?" Tao Shen asked then they both turned to the woman on the bed. they were so shocked that they exclaimed in surprise.

"Cherry Lu?" They exclaimed simultaneously.

"Take that" Tao Shen swung her hand and it landed heavily on Cherry Lu's face. The woman fell numb on the bed, clutching tightly on the covers as she dragged it over her body to cover her nakedness.

"For coming between Nana and Chen Bo" Tao Shen added then turned to Chen Bo. she took off her heels and the man raised his two hands up as if surrendering to the women. His brows furrowed as he shook his head sideways.

"Okay ladies, this is no longer high school, you're all grown ups and should behave as one". he said taking a few steps backward.

"High school huhn? So that is why you made our Nana suffer?" Yang Liu said flinging her purse in the air as she advanced towards Chen Bo.

"No, I promise. I didn't make Nana suffer..." Chen Bo started and before he could finish, the two women attacked him, one beating him with her heels and the other with her bag. Cherry was so afraid, she began to cry on the bed, they beat Chen Bo to pulp then faced Cherry Lu. Yang Liu slapped Cherry Lu across the face with her bag and Tao Shen brought a pair of scissors from her purse, they dragged Cherry Lu's hair roughly and cut out a strand of her hair.

"This is for Nana''she said before they matched out. Yei Kai came out of his hideout and laughed loudly at thier bruised faces then walked out. Cherry Lu cried her eyes out.

Bu Lang Chu wasn't in the best of mood when he'd returned from school that Evening to hear about what happened to Blossom. He sat on the cough in the living room waiting for Tao Shen to return Snow Yei came down the stairs carrying her note book.

"Snow if it's about your assignment, meet Nanny Lau to help you, I'm not in a good mood " He said and the little girl went to seat close to him.

''I don't have home work , I just Miss Blossom already?" she said sadly and Bu Lang drew her into a warm hug.

"Blossom will be fine" He said and just then, Tao Shen and Yang Liu walked in.

"Mum!" Snow greeted with tears in her eyes.

"Snow Yei, what happened to you?" She asked with a frown as Snow began to sob.

"Blossom is gone and I miss her already. "she said hugging her mother. The woman looked at her sadly, then at Bu Lang who was now standing. Bu Lang held his little sister by the shoulder and she turned to look at him.

"come on, let's grab a cup of ice cream together, Blossom liked ice cream". He said and the girl looked at him then cleaned her eyes.

"Blossom will get jealous if she finds out we went to get ice cream without her" she said.

"Then she'll come back right?" he asked.

"Yeah , right ". She said offering an half smile. Bu Lang turned to Tao Shen and gave a wry smile.

"Aunt Tao, I'll take Snow to get an ice cream " He said then turned to Yang Liu.

"Hello ma'am " He greeted politely and Liu smiled at him.

"Lang, you're all grown already. I feel so old right now " She said and Tao Shen laughed lightly.

"Lang, seems you've forgotten Yang Liu, Summer's mother. It's been a long time though" Tao Shen said and Bu Lang's eyes grew wide.

"I'm so sorry Aunt Liu, I almost didn't recognize you" He said with a genuine smile.

"That's fine. How have you been?" She asked.

"Been good Aunt, just missed Summer a lot" He said and just then, Yei Kai wheeled his chair in.

"How's Summer doing? I imagine her all classy and bossy" Lang said excitedly and Yang Liu gave a sad smile. Lang stared at her blankly, confused.
