Don't Scare Me Like That!

They surrounded him and two of them even held his arm.

The man came forward and his deep, thundering look gazed on to the pervert deeply. He suddenly chuckled.

That chuckle wasn't any merry one, but a devil one. It was so dark and mysterious. The frightened man gulped and he felt like he was going to piss himself by the other man's mere look. He mustered as much courage as he could and spoke up: "Who are you and how did you do that to my men?,"

Hearing his words, the man looked at him like he heard the silliest thing ever. Smirking darkly, he ignored his question and instead said: "Patience."

He whispered in a faded tone. Turning around, he looked at the drowsing girl. Walking towards her, he felt like his head was hit somewhere hard. It was throbbing hard.

The only garment that was relatively intact on her body was her white vest and her visible undergarments. Her dress was torn and it was hanging on her lower body.

He immediately held her in his embrace and felt something moist and warm from the hand that supported the back of her head.

Pulling out, he noticed the red liquid that was dripping from her head. His eyes flashed and he quickly scanned other bruises on her body.

A lot of people were going to suffer from his hands. It had been long since he took over and personally punished one but tomorrow morning, he promised he was going to make their lives gloomy like the dusk.

He clenched his jaw and turned around. He couldn't take it anymore.

Walking towards the man, he punched him with all his might. The man fell back and hit his head at the cobblestone paved road. His jaws cracked and the man felt his jaws stuck in one direction. He couldn't move it at all.

His eyes flashed with gleam once more and he came towards the disgusting man in slow stead.

Bending now, he grabbed his chin and said: "We have a lot of things to discuss, say, would you like to come over to my place?," The man gurgled as he attempted to speak with his dislocated jaw.

Laughing at the state he put him in, the man flickered his index finger towards the burly men. The bodyguards understood his clue and grabbed his arms tightly. They put a mask on his whole face and after that his gurgling became vague in the alley.

The look on the man's eyes was so terrifying that Aizhe wondered where she saw such a look. She tried to sit up but the woman next to the man quickly stopped her. Taking a syringe from the back of her pockets, she inserted it in her arms and she let her lay like that for a while.

Wanting to know who were her helpers, she couldn't really see as her eyes were still blurred out by the drug earlier. Blinking rapidly, she reached out with her hands but at that moment, the man caught up with her. "I am sorry love, I came late.." Hearing his low murmur, Aizhe laid out as she looked at him.

His voice was enough to wake something up in Aizhe's throbbing heart. She immediately tightened their grasp as she hugged him. Her face relaxed as she smelled his usual, familiar scent. He was finally there with her and all the fear and panic left her body and mind. "Ah Si, it is you..you came.."

She subconsciously smiled. Her eyes cleared up a bit and her gaze locked up with his worried one. She tightened their embrace, seemingly afraid that something worse would appear again. She laid like that calmly in his embrace. Happy that Ah Si didn't question her, Aizhe remained in that position for a little while more until the woman next to them closed her eyes and questioned.

"Lover birds, totally ashamed to disturb you but we have to leave this place sooner. I think they might send more people to look after her. Hurry, Ah Si, " hearing that tone, Aizhe peeked up from Ah Si's chest and she realized that the fierce woman from before was none other than Chen Fiaso. How was that even possible? Wasn't she a dancer according to the people earlier?

Staying frozen in her place and looking at Chen Fiaso, Aizhe felt a pat at her head and she broke from her reverie.

When he saw her hair that was unkempt and face which was bloated, Ah Si couldn't help clenching his jaws in a habit. He saw her lips' corners which were bleeding constantly, and the blood that had created a scary red patch on her torn white vest-- he couldn't stop worrying over it.

Her flesh was red and in some part purple as if she was constantly beaten up. She had also been stripped away from most of her clothes. Taking off his blue sweater, he placed it on top of her.

How he wished he could never let go of her. He always wanted to just keep her tiny self in his pockets, in that case, she would be safe and next to him.

"Aizhe, let's go, I will take you back to the Ah Manor. "

Hearing that, she jolted back and looked up at him.

"No Si, I can't, I am already late. I have to be at home, my brother must be worried." She spoke up, with a droopy gaze and blood-smeared face. He held her arms as he stood her up. Pulling her closer to his embrace, he reprimanded her in a softer tone.

"Who dares to say anything? Stay tonight at the manor and I will take you back tomorrow or when your condition stabilizes, okay?, " Adding up to his support, Chen Fiaso looked at Aizhe and she said:

"Miss Li, I don't know you that much, but I am confident enough to say that staying in that household might not be good for you. The men earlier might have something to do with one of your family members, and there might be more troops sent later on when they realize that you are safe. That is why it will be better for you to get out of that place permanently or stay at my brother's house until you recover." She looked at her as she spoke in her deep, feminine tone.

The look in her eyes was cunning and calculating and Aizhe now realized why people called her Ice Queen.

Aizhe who already had a suspect in her heart by the coincidence of Li Na's call and the men's attack was not shocked or taken back by the news. She merely nodded her head and tugged her body in Si's embrace. Pulling his blue sweater closer to her naked parts, she nodded to him.

Catching sight of that, Ah Si felt relieved. He looked at Fiaso and nodded. She tapped her earpiece twice and soon a bolting flashlight was seen in the alley.

Aizhe who was drifting in and out of her senses jolted awake by the sound and light of the vehicle.

She felt scared and tried to look for her surrounding but Ah Si didn't allow her and he instead pulled her head back to his embrace. It took her by surprise when he bent over and carried her princess style.

She looked into his eyes and discovered the light warmth she had wanted to see ever since she was drugged. Hugging him till her little face was invisible, she finally gave up on her worries and collapsed in his embrace.

Noticing that, Ah Si felt frightened for a split second. He who never got worried about anything couldn't resist howling out loud at that moment.

He felt so many emotions going in and out of him.

He held her closer to him and brought her to the car.

The two placed themselves promptly in the car and soon the car picked its pace towards the Ah Manor.

"Lu Jung, you better come back here, how long will you hide from me?," Ai was running around the manor looking for Lu Jung. He was behind the sofa with his pajama set.

'Lord, was the purpose of my life to be stuck between these two siblings?' muttering under his breath, he dug himself more deeply behind the sofa.

Feeling a hand creeping up to his collar, he sighed and gave up.

He turned around and said in an exaggerated tone.

"Love, how beautiful you have become nowadays, no?, " With no change in her facial reactions, she stood there as if in expectant for something. With one hand in her waist, she looked like a scary tyrant.

Understanding her indication, he sighed once more and opened his mouth to speak when the two flaps of the main door opened. "Lu Jung, fast get the imperial doctor and make sure Elder is unaware of this matter.

"Also get some clothes and some wipes in a bowl of water." Ah Si came dashing with a woman laid out in his embrace. He looked at her delicately while carrying her towards his room.

Putting two and two together, Ai staggered back in her footsteps when she realized the girl was none other than Aizhe. Lu Jung immediately held her back.

He nodded his head and dashed to the room to call for help. She on the other hand ran to the kitchen to take a bowl of water and some clean wipes. Her heart felt heavy and she took the item, while jogging to the room rashly.

Upon reaching there,  she noticed her brother who was looking into Aizhe with warmth seeping from his eyes. You could also see the frown of lines forming in his forehead due to tension.

Reaching over, she gave the bowl to Fiaso and sat next to the girl in the bed.

Ai lifted Aizhe's scraped and bruised hands slightly as she kept calling her name in tears, "Aizhe, are you alright? Wake up, wake up! This is Ai, please don't scare me like that!"
