A god's rival II

7:15pm > 

"Mr Fu!" Mrs Qin welcomed her favorite individual, and they walked side to side until they got to the dinning hall where everyone but Lijuan was.

"I was expecting my precious Lijuan to be the first person who welcomes me," His frown showed his disappointment.

"Is she not home?"

"She's not willing to come downstairs. I tried dragging her, but she stayed glued to her bed and kept saying she's not hungry," Lijuan's brother spoke as he served himself salad and black beans.

"I see. She was told I would stop by but I seem to be none of her concern like I used to. It hurts me. I figure I should leave," He turned away but Miss Qin quickly stopped him.

"No, Mr Fu, I figure you ought to go chat with her. I'm certain she's not occupied."

"Okay" He agreed and walked up the stairs leading to her room. 

"Precious Lijuan" He knocked on the door, but no answer. He tried opening it, but it was locked. As expected.

"Can we talk?" He asked, but he didn't get an answer. He went back down without Lijuan by his side, and it steered her mother's anger.

 "Don't worry, Mrs Qin. I'll have dinner, maybe Lijuan and I will see some other time" He smiled as he took his seat "Thanks for the meal." 

The next day…

"What are you doing here, Mr Fu?!!" Lijuan was stunned to find the man she hated the most on her office chair, casually moving around on the seat behind the desk. 

"Aren't you happy to see me, my love?" He got up from his seat, a smirk plastered on his face as he approached her, slowly invading her personal space.

"Don't come near me!" she commanded, but Hong didn't care. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and pulled her close. 

"It's been long since I inhaled your beautiful scent." She shoved him away before he'd take advantage of the situation and do something she wouldn't like.

"What's wrong, baby?" 

"ENOUGH WITH THE SWEET TALK AND GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!" 

Fu raised his hands, gesturing his surrender as he slowly walked past her, but stopped once he got close to the door. Then in that instant, his lips split into a malicious grin.

"You've forgotten I'm with the key." 

"Don't you dare touch me!" 

"Or what? Who's going to believe you? Besides, you're my woman…" 

"I am not your property. I know how badly you want to objectify me like those other girls you sleep with." 

"But you're not like them, sweetheart. That's why I'm madly in love with you" 

Lijuan didn't move despite their closeness. She was showing him she was no longer afraid of him, and she's not the same seventeen-year-old girl from before. She was now a woman with brains, and she wouldn't let a man like Fu do as he pleases.

"Get out of my office, Mr Fu!" 

"Your office?" He jeered "Everything here is mine. You included. My most valued belonging" He ran his fingers around her jaw however she slapped his filthy hands away. 

"I said don't touch me Mr Fu" 

"And I asked you a question... what will you do about that?"

"I'll scream. You locked the door."

"I haven't even done anything to you yet. You want to frame me as a harasser. Is that how low you're willing to stoop Qin Lijuan?"

"We both know that's what you are!" 

He rolled his eyes ``I don't know what you're talking about. All I want is a kiss from my future wife and suddenly that is a problem. You didn't even come down to have dinner with me. If we keep having misunderstandings, how will we survive in our marital home"

"I'm not getting married to you!" 

Fu burst into laughter, hugging his stomach as tears formed at his ducts "And you think your mother will let that happen? This new Lijuan is a jokester. I miss the same seventeen-year-old that was head over heels for me. I still remember how good you were for your first time." 

"That Lijuan is dead whether you like it or not." 

"I'm aware. This Lijuan is a feisty woman, and I'm dying to ride her like I used to." 

"You're disgusting. I'll never let you take advantage of my weak moments. You're a cheat and deceiver. You only care about me now because of what my family's wealth and yours combined can give you."

Hong clapped "You're such an intelligent woman." 

"Too bad for you, I said it once and I'm saying it again, I'm not marrying you!"

The man rolled his eyes "Oh please. What can you do to stop that?" 

"I made an agreement with my mother. If I can bring a man better than you, I have a chance to call off the wedding. And for your information, I've found your replacement."

Hong laughed "Impossible. Someone can bare your shitty crudity?" 

"Excuse me?"

"You're probably didn't know this, but no man wants to ask you out because of how strict you are. No one wants that kind of woman, honey."

"How dare you!" 

"And I'm very sure you haven't changed your robotic character. That's asking the impossible from you." 

Lijuan was speechless.

"You don't know how many men you saved by walking out on your date with them."

"That's not true"

"Ask around my dear. Having a date with you is stressful because you're so uninteresting. But, I overlooked everything and I'm still willing to spend the rest of my life with someone so boring." 

"How can I marry you when you say these types of things!" 

"Isn't it enough that I'm pitying you by making you mine when millions of women are dying to be in my bed, and you have the golden pass to it." 

"Get out Fu!"

"I can promise you this Lijuan, your new lover will leave you and you'll come running back to me." 

"That will never happen."

"How are you so sure? Men can't even spend a second with you." He jeered.

Lijuan covered her ears and repeated to herself, "He's only saying this to make you feel bad! He's only saying this to make you feel bad!! He's only saying this to make you feel bad!!!" 

"I'll see you soon, love" He winked before he left, adjusting his tie. 

Lijuan pulled out her phone and texted Wu, "Hi, where and when can we meet? There's something important I want us to discuss."
