Wang Zhao frowned and looked up at Mi Chan who was staring blankly at the floor. Sang Qian had rather a cold but sad expression on her face. He could only make out one assumption," You're back at it again?" Sang Qian scoffed," You did this years ago, you're doing it again!" She pointed at Mi Chan," You too! You did this years ago and you're doing this again. Tell him the truth. I don't like wasting my time on jerks like him."
Wang Zhao was taken aback with the angered tone. He scoffed when she called him a jerk? Mi Chan looked up at him with teared eyes," why did you have to invade? Anyhow, I have somewhere I have to go. You can have the rest of talk with Sang Qian." She walked out mumbling," I will take the car. Sorry!"
He was dumbfounded, both of them had a heated debate on something for sure. No one gave a shit about him. He sensed Mi Chan sniffing as she walked away. Sang Qian on the other hand simply threw the gun on the couch folding her arms over her chest," I am all ears. You can accuse all you want."
Wang Zhao frowned," when did I accuse you?" She scoffed," When did you not?" He pursed his lips and closed the door behind and walked towards her. She looked at his cold face but she wasn't bothered a bit.
He invaded her personal space. She lifted her head up lightly to see his face clearly. He eyed her face," you know what Qian? You have always been senseless and you will always be. At least for me. Your words, your actions rarely make sense to me. But I want all the answers today."
Sang Qian scoffed," what do you mean.." he pulled her in and she gasped," what.." he held her shoulders in a tight grasp," You can't run from me Sang Qian, and not from the truth. Today I will ask; you will answer." She scoffed," get away from me first." He didn't let go and inquired in an angered tone," Why did you even ask Mi Chan to move in with you back then when all you wanted to do was hurt her?"
Sang Qian struggled in his hands," No I didn't hurt her. Ever!" She was annoyed. It wasn't Wang Zhao's fault. She never proved herself to him. It was her own fault. Her mind wandered back in time. The memories started taking over her brain.

Five years ago,
(Flashbacks continue)
A few weeks passed by. Sang Qian was sitting in her car by the road side in front of a small pub. She had a blank look in her eyes. She was really tired after work. It was almost midnight. The market was all closed at this point. She took a sip of beer in her hand, but not wanting to get drunk, she placed it down again and noticed a figure running in her direction.
Her brows furrowed," What the.." she couldn't even curse completely when she saw a few men following the figure. She focused and just then did she notice, It was Mi Chan. She frowned, getting down from the car immediately.
Mi Chan stumbled and fell against the car hitting her head. Sang Qian's eyes turned cold when her eyes swept across those men following her. She smirked," get away!" One of the men started laughing," oh lady, let us talk with Ma'am. She has been running away from us. We are not here to harm her."
Sang Qian looked at Mi Chan who had face flooded with tears," No! He is here to hurt me. He will kill me!" The man bowed," Please Ma'am we are here to take you home. Please don't make it troublesome for us."
Sang Qian scoffed," You're really bad at acting, Dumbhead." She kicked him in the face making him fall on his back. One of the man gasped as he stuttered," what was your name again?" He asked. Sang Qian scoffed yet again," It's Queen Sang Qian. Why? Are you not scared enough? Does name matter?"
All the men looked at each other and stepped away bowing in sync," Sorry Young Miss Sang. We will take our leave!" Sang Qian frowned," What?! Do you even know me?! Are you crazy?!" The group of men ran away without another word.
Mi Chan stuttered as she looked at Sang Qian with wide eyes," did you send them?" Sang Qian chuckled," what are you talking about? Are you out of your mind? Why would I do that?" Mi Chan gulped," Because I..." she blacked out and her body went limp.
Sang Qian squatted down and patted her cheek," Mi Chan, wake Up! Hey! Wake up!" But no avail. She lifted Mi Chan with all her strength and put her in the car before she drove straight to her apartment. If Wang Zhao was to know about this, he would definitely misunderstand her.

Sang Qian thought about the scene that took place a few minutes ago. The men chasing Mi Chan knew her. She blinked as she sipped her coffee. Her head was aching. She had to explain everything to Mi Chan. She herself didn't know about them.
But then a thought struck her brain. Only if the men belonged to Li Zinhuo, can they possibly know it was her. But Li Zinhuo and Mi Chan had no connection. She hissed in frustration," Something is missing here." She turned around to look at Mi Chan who was looking at her.
Sang Qian was surprised," Oh gosh! You scared me!" Mi Chan had a tired yet cold look in her eyes," why are you doing this to me?" Sang Qian walked to her side," What am I doing?" Mi Chan scoffed," first you try to harm me, then pretend like you saved me? Why?"
Sang Qian smirked," I never knew you could be so cold. Well I am not surprised. Also, I didn't send those men. Believe it or not. I don't care." Mi Chan sighed," Even if you're not doing this. I should get going. I am ok now."
Sang Qian laughed coldly," where? To the hotel? I know you don't have a place to live woman. I checked your records, it says that you live in a slum. How could Wang Zhao ignore that? He said he liked you? Why isn't he taking responsibility then? You were out on the streets, where is he? Where is his love?"
Mi Chan cut her off," I didn't tell him. I didn't tell him a single thing about Where I live, what I am going through. I fooled him to believe that I lived in a safe posh area." Sang Qian scoffed," Yes, true. And I also know you could afford one apartment easily, with that salary." Mi Chan gulped," there are some things a young miss from a big family won't understand."
Sang Qian's eyes turned cold," You don't have to decided that. Don't judge me, because you don't know me. And trust me Mi Chan, if one more time, I see you roaming on the streets all alone at night, you're dead. Who do you think you are? A superwoman? Could you fight those men if I wasn't there?"
Tears filled Mi Chan's eyes," I.. I don't have someone who can pick me up from the office and I have some issues in my life. I can't afford to live in an apartment like this." Sang Qian sighed," Aish! Stop crying! I am not good at consoling people. I'd rather cry with you than to comfort you. Also, I will take your responsibility if Wang Zhao doesn't. You can live here until you find another place to live. Another thing, I can pick you up after work unless he does."
Mi Chan was surprised," really?" Sang Qian smiled," Yes." She was all alone anyways," But you would have to cook dinner and breakfast."
Whimsical as she had always been, Sang Qian made Mi Chan chuckle," sure."

Sang Qian was about to sleep but her head was filled with a lot of things. Why didn't Mi Chan tell Wang Zhao about all of this? He will find out it sooner, they are almost neighbours. But vertically. She sighed and texted Wang Zhao 'Your girlfriend was on the street. I saved her..' she stopped typing and deleted the text.
But the notifications of typing was there. He was online! Shit! Surprisingly, He texted her,' what were you typing so late in the night? Aren't you asleep?'
She scoffed and decided to mess around with him,' Nothing much just wanted to say I love you.' He sent her an emoji with a cocked eyebrow. She laughed to herself knowing he would have that disappointed expression on his face. She loved even these small interactions with him.
She smiled and texted ,'good night.' And threw her phone aside. Diving in a deep sleep. The next day she got a text from him.
'why were you with Mi Chan last night?'
She ignored the text and decided to focus on getting dressed.
She stepped out of her room and looked at Mi Chan who was still not dressed. She frowned," why aren't you dressed yet? You don't have to go to work?" Mi Chan who was preparing the breakfast simply shrugged," I got nothing to wear. By the way its Sunday. So should we go and pack my luggage?"
Sang Qian smiled back at her," Ok sure. By the way I have something to attend. I am sorry but, I will join you after I am done. I will drop you off." Mi Chan nodded," by the way isn't it the same building where Wang Zhao lives. What if he finds out?"
Sang Qian walked to her stepping closer," are you worried, he may find out about it? You want to hide it? Is it illegal for two people liking the same person living in one apartment or are you BI?" Mi Chan stepped back," I don't mind him finding out. At most he can ask me why I did that. And I hope you will answer him then."
Sang Qian didn't miss the sudden change in Mi Chan'd behaviour. She was getting way too comfortable like she had always been ready for this. Sang Qian smiled awkwardly and nodded. She walked back to her room and pulled out a new suit, she had not once wore; and some undies.
She put them together in a bag and walked out," here you go. You can have these. These are new ones. Go and get ready, I will prepare the breakfast."
