Wanted to quit living

Wang Zhao was standing by himself on the rooftop of the Mansion. He was lost and he himself didn't know what he was thinking. He felt kind of stressed for some reason. Mi Chan's behaviour worried him slightly. Her actions were suspicious. He never felt that way but she was definitely acting super weird.

He raised his phone and clicked on a contact. The number was dialled. He raised the phone to his ear. Soon he heard a tired voice on the other end," who is it?" He smiled," I see, Young master Li, you have forgotten me." Just then the other end scoffed through the phone," Are you crazy Wang Zhao. Let me sleep in peace. I am tired. We just met yesterday! You even told me you had a family dinner."

Wang Zhao sighed," why are you asleep, It's 4 in the evening?!" The other end let out a deep breath," Had a long workout last night so..." wang Zhao shook his head," Mi Chan is back too. Are you sure you saw her in the hotel?" The other end fell silent for a few seconds.

"Are you there?" Wang Zhao asked confusingly. The other end cleared his throat," Ah Yes! I have a proof with me, I will try to contact the security and get CCTV recording if you don't believe me." Wang Zhao frowned," nevermind. I just wanted to say that I will come over at your place tomorrow." And he heard an affirmative answer.

A man with a naked torso was sleeping peacefully in his bed on one side. It might have seemed he was waiting for someone to be on the other side. He frowned when he heard his phone ring, he forgot to put it on silent. He raised the phone to his ear lazily," who is it?"

He heard the quick reply," I see, Young master Li, you have forgotten me." Li Zinhuo sighed and looked at the phone screen, Wang Zhao. He scoffed through the phone," Are you crazy Wang Zhao. Let me sleep in peace. I am tired. We just met yesterday! You even told me you had a family dinner." He was tired from last night's activity.

Raising himself he got up and walked to the window. The Man's feature shined in the golden sunlight that entered the room. He had a cold and stoic face but rather a charming personality. His hazel eyes shined under the sun. He ruffled his own hair as he was having a casual talk with his best friend. He heard Wang Zhao mention Mi Chan's name, he froze for a few seconds.

"Are you there?" He heard wang Zhao's voice coming back to his senses," Ah Yes! I have a proof with me, I will try to contact the security and get CCTV recording if you don't believe me." he waited for Wang Zhao's reply. He wanted to see what he reacts like.

Wang Zhao replied," nevermind. I just wanted to say that I will come over at your place tomorrow." Li Zinhuo shook his head side to side. He thought if Wang Zhao had trusted Sang Qian rather than Mi Chan back then, it would have been way better. But in the end he just voiced out a Yes and the call was ended.

Li Zinhuo had known Wang Zhao for years, he also knew, Zhao had serious issues with trust. Once broken, its hard to win it back, but he wondered how could Mi Chan win his trust so easily. He let out a deep breath.

As he walked by the bed, his eyes traveled to the small diamond earring shining near the pillow. He smiled and picked it up, raising it to examine it," seems like my little rabbit left it behind. I will keep it as a small present." His smile was very sincere and sweet. He was about to enter the bathroom, when his eyes examined the marriage certificate on the wall. It was rather a copy. In the next frame, was a picture of him and a girl wearing a mask. He felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at it.

He smiled to himself and walked out, locking the door with a small key. It was the room no one was allowed to enter unless it was to be cleaned. He turned around and saw his workers. He smiled awkwardly realizing he wasn't wearing anything on his torso. He ran upstairs as they all looked away instantly.

After ending the call, Wang Zhao decided to check on Mi Chan once before he headed back to work. He opened the door to her room. He saw her fast asleep. She was going to stay in the mansion for sure, she didn't have her family here. He walked to her and a smile appeared on his face. He took a seat beside her and caressed her hair very lightly," No doubt I am in love with you."

He stroked her cheek with his thumb and a sigh escaped his lips," why are you doing this now. We decided to never lie to each other. I hate lies Mi Chan. But I would believe it was for good. I will always wait for you to come and tell me the truth." He kissed her forehead and got up, walking out of the room.

Just as he was about to step down the stairs, he heard his mother call him. He turned to look at her. She had a big smile on her face," Come with me." Mrs.Wang pulled him with his arm and he quietly followed her knowing she was excited and she won't listen to him. Moreover he loved it when she was happy and cheerful.

After they were in her room, she pulled out a card. It seemed liked an invitation card for something. He frowned," what is this mom?" Mrs. Wang smiled," invitation for your engagement party!" He smiled," oh! You already prepared them?" She nodded her head," Yes, why not? It's next week and we have to send it to everyone. So do you like the design?"

He held the invitation card, a mild smile was on his face as he read the words written in it. The card had a peach shaded base and a pastel floral pattern on the borders.

Was he really going to get engaged to the one he had always wanted by his side? Everything he once thought was coming to reality. He nodded his head looking up," yes these are beautiful." Mrs. Wang's face lit up," Ok now, here are a few invitations that you got to keep and will hand over to your friends."

He nodded," Ok, Sure." He held the bunch she had just passed him. Just then Mrs. Wang's voice turned a little serious," is something wrong?" He frowned," No, why?" She shrugged," I can feel the low vibrations you are releasing." He sighed, his mother was really spiritual, he couldn't help.

He looked down," Nothing just, from last night, I have been a little down." She nodded her head," oh yes! You have to hand the card to Sang Qian yourself. You were the one who started everything yesterday. I know you have already helped her enough last night too." He froze and looked away," I didn't mom. I did that just out of my conscience."

Mrs. Wang smiled," it doesn't matter what you say, but I know deep down, you are guilty for what you did to her. Even back then, and now too." He gulped, nothing could be hidden from his mother. He was quiet and she continued," I have always known she had liked you. Ever since she was a kid, she did. But it's not your fault you didn't like her back. It's natural who we are attracted to. But, the biggest mistake that you did was to have blind trust on your partner and not even try to ask Sang Qian about her opinion every time you misunderstood her."

" I know everything that happened back then, I can just say that, Mi Chan is perfect for you. But Sang Qian wasn't that bad either. She had honest feelings for you, you hurt so bad back then that she wanted to quit living." He frowned and looked up. His face held a surprised expression.

Mrs. Wang patted his shoulder," I know its hard but now that you have perceived the truth. I hope you will not think about her the same way." He was left their alone as Mrs. Wang walked out leaving the confused Wang Zhao behind. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Wang Zhao walked inside his apartment with a blank look on his face. He was lost yet again, the happy news didn't help this mood of his. Every bit of information he was learning, slowly became some sort of frustration which wasn't easy to get rid of. He gulped down the lump in his throat and removed his coat.

He loosened his tie slumping himself on the sofa. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. What was this mood? why was he so confused all of a sudden? Why was he so blank? Why was he getting frustrated with his thoughts? Was Sang Qian really serious when she confessed? Was she never wrong? Did she never hurt Mi Chan? Was Mi Chan the one fooling him?

But this couldn't be possible. Mi Chan might have been bad, but he saw her feelings for him. He had seen her innocence. He had caught feelings for her, only because of her attitude. She was so nice and sweet. He had definitely run a check on her. Then why did his mom say that he trusted her too much?

He let out a deep breath closing his eyes," What am I even thinking?" Whatever is going on might have been because he caught Mi Chan lying. And that is not what he should believe in so quickly. He gulped the lump down his throat, that's seriously the biggest mistake he could do.

But he was really tensed. He was feeling depressed. He walked to his room, opened the closet and then he picked up his medicine hidden in one corner. His head was aching from the pain. He hid himself from the world, what would someone think if they find out he was used to taking medicine for stress.

Swallowing the pills without water, he gulped down the nauseous feeling. He walked back to the bed, and chucked down the glass of water. Sang Qian's crying face and Mi Chan's tired smile ignoring him, was the only thing flashing in his brain.

He slumped himself on the bed. It wasn't even night time and he was tired. He closed his eyes and another sigh escaped his lips. Just then his phone vibrated. He turned around on his back taking it out from his pocket, he switched it off and closed his eyes again. His mind trailed back in time.
