Didn’t hear you apologize

PRESENT TIME

Sang Qian's brain was numb. She never thought that this was when it all actually started. She had always loved him but he never actually considered her feelings to be true. Was she just a fool to fall for him?

She didn't want to think of the time he had made a fool out of her and she thought he liked her back. She let out a deep sigh and her eyes felt heavy. Closing her eyes, she dozed off to sleep. She just wished she won't repeat the same mistake again and this time, they both can end up on a good note.

Next Day,

Sang Qian woke up and she felt dizzy. Her vision was blurry. Slowly her eyes adjusted to the light and she could see clearly. After she was up, she pushed herself up to her elbows and eyed her surroundings. She was in bed, it was neat and clean all around. A frown was casted on her face.

According to her last night was a total mess. She sighed and looked down at herself and a gasp escaped her lips. What was she doing in a Shirt, she didn't even change. Her eyes bulged out as she checked. Her wounds were treated rather professionally. She cupped her face and her skin felt smooth.

She rubbed her eyes and checked her finger after, No mascara. Means her face was clean. She frowned, what was even going on? She heard a knock on the door, who was it? Her heart almost skipped a beat as she held the duvet closely to her body. The door knob turned and it creaked open.

She gulped but then her eyes met with a smiling lady," good morning Miss." Sang Qian frowned," Good morning, but Who are you?" The lady smiled," I will be attending you until your wound it treated. Young master Wang sent me here."

Sang Qian frowned," which one?" The lady smiled," I am uncertain if I can answer that." Sang Qian felt uneasy but she smiled," It's okay, well thank-you for whatever you're doing and you will do." The lady smiled," I will help you freshen up, and then you can have your breakfast."

Sang Qian was sitting in the bedroom, reading a book. She heard a knock on the door. She thought It was Miss Su, the worker so she didn't bother looking up. She was busy reading book and didn't notice the tall silhouette enter the room until the dark perfume reached her nostrils.

She looked up and her eyes met with Wang Zhao, her heart almost stopped. She looked at him with wide eyes. He smirked," You seem busy." She blinked, she was just surprised. Why can't he let her be? Why did he have to be here again.

She sighed regaining her calm expression and continued reading her book ignoring him. He clicked his tongue playfully and circled around the bed and stood by her side. Her grip on the book tightened. She looked up to meet his cold stare," why are you doing this? Why can't you leave me alone when I am being finally happy on my own."

He sighed," I am here to talk." Sang Qian scoffed," About what? If I may ask." He tapped her leg and she rolled her eyes shifting to one side slowly, not to hurt her wound. He took a seat on the bed. She held the book to shield her sweaty palms. He twitched his lips," Dad asked me to apologize to you personally. I gave him my word so I am here, keeping it."

She was relieved and crossed her arms over her chest," I didn't hear you apologize?" Wang Zhao pressed his lips in a thin line," Sorry." He looked down at his hands. It might have been his first time apologizing to her. She smirked," Sorry for what?" He clenched his jaw, she was doing this on purpose! Damn her!

"Sorry for behaving like that last night. I will try not to be rude unless I face you." He muttered lightly. Sang Qian smiled at the sarcasm in his tone. She nodded," It's okay, You had to vent on someone and you did last night. Just don't repeat it again. And, if You're done apologizing, leave."

He looked back up and saw her smirking at him. He wasn't bothered. He had expected her to react even worse. He clenched his fist and stood up," I will meet you soon, to discuss something. I am running late to fetch my fiancée from the airport."

She smiled," Sure. And the next time we meet, I hope you know how to behave." He passed her a smirk," depends on your performance." She squinted and he walked out. As soon as he left the room, Sang Qian placed a hand on her thundering chest," Shit! This Man almost scared me!" She let out a loud frustrating grunt.

Wang Zhao smiled to himself when he heard Sang Qian. She can change but her habits won't. She was sulking after an argument. He shook his head and tapped Wang Yuhan on the shoulder," Go and talk to her now. She is sulking. I apologized already." The latter looked up and stood up," She hasn't forgiven you. Don't take it easy. You will have to apologize sincerely again."

Wang Zhao smiled," you think I care? Anyways, I will go and pick up your sister-in-law." Wang Yuhan smiled and Wang Zhao walked out. As soon as he left, Wang Yuhan's smile dropped. He walked to Sang Qian's room and knocked on the door. He heard Sang Qian's voice filled with Irritation," who is it again?" Wang Yuhan smiled and walked inside.

A girl about 5'5 was wearing heels making her look a little taller than she already was. She eyed her beautiful face in the mirror as she applied lipstick. Wearing a cute summer dress with an overcoat, she looked perfect. Spraying a little bit of perfume she was ready. She was about to turn around when an arm snaked around her waist.

The girl gasped. The Man from behind kissed her neck and she pushed him away," are You kidding me? Get away, I have to leave." The man sighed," Oh c'mon Mi Chan, You know you will have to come back here because.." before he could continue she kissed his lips.

The man's lips turned into a smirk. He pulled away," I am not joking when I say I want you by my side for a lifetime." Mi Chan's expression turned dark," Please, Don't say this stuff right now. We both know that this, between us, is nothing but lust. You need to understand that I have someone I love."

The man clenched his fist but he didn't say anything. His face was half covered under the hat he was wearing. His jaw was clenched as he saw her leave the room putting on her shades and mask.

Mi Chan's heart was beating fast as she calmed herself down," What is wrong with me? When did my heart start beating around him? I don't even know anything other than his name." She complained to herself as she walked out of the hotel and headed to the airport. She could not possibly let Wang Zhao know she was already In the country.

She contacted her assistant to get her luggage to the airport and she drove an hour early. Once she reached the airport, she used the restroom to change her attire into a suit. She checked her makeup and made sure there weren't any marks visible from last night. Just as the thought crossed her mind the flashbacks kept hitting her about what happened between the Man and her.

Her phone ringed pulling her out of the daze, she blinked and looked at the screen to see who was calling. It was Wang Zhao. She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. Putting a smile on her face she decided to answer the call.

Wang Zhao was standing outside by his car, wearing a mask and shades. He didn't even understand why Mi Chan didn't like going public about their relationship. He sighed and checked the time, It was already five minutes above the given time. He dialled her number. After a few rings the phone was answered.

He heard her sweet voice," I am coming over, wait." And the call was cut. He couldn't even say anything but he smiled, she had always been like this. A few minutes later he saw a woman walking towards him. Her face was fully covered but her dressing was what made her stand out from the crowd. She walked straight towards him and hugged him.

He smiled beneath his mask," I missed you." A sense of relief washed over him. His heart was gushed with warmth. He was just so used to her being around. Mi Chan pulled away," I missed you even more." The guard loaded the car with her luggage and Wang Zhao whispered," I miss kissing you." She pushed him slightly," stop!"

She entered the car, Wang Zhao felt strange. She sounded irritated but he ignored it. He circled around and got in. Removing his mask and shades he looked at her. Mi Chan had also removed her mask and her beautiful face came in his view.

Wang Zhao smiled at her and tucked her hair behind her ear," You look tired, didn't you get enough sleep last night?" She smiled," Flight was long, remember?" Wang Zhao raised a brow," I thought you were back yesterday itself." Mi Chan froze. Her words were stuck. His face was calm, she knew that if she was caught in this web of his words, she will have to pay.

She simply ignored the remark," As I said, flight was really tiring, moreover, I was drained of energy, because I couldn't get any dose of love from someone." Wang Zhao laughed lightly," Oh I see. It's okay, we will be there shortly, then you can rest and get a doze." She smiled and pecked his cheek before resting her head on his shoulder hiding her nervous expression.

Wang Zhao on the other hand was simply thinking about her strange behaviour. He sighed letting it slide. There must have been something bothering her.
