The night before the party

The night before the party, Qiao Hua received a message from Gui Han.

[Hua Hua, I missed you. I haven't seen you for a week, can I go to you?]

- Brother Han <11:00 pm>

Qiao Hua smiled after reading the message. She could see how much Gui Han love and care about her. Gui Han is her ideal husband, a man with looks, backed by a wealthy and powerful family and a talented man. Gui Han at a young age showed his capability and she knew he will be successful in the future. Compare to others rich guys, Gui Han is loyal and he is loyal to her not anyone else.

She wanted to gloat on how she stole Gui Han away from Qiao Ning Xi. Well, he belonged to her in the first place so it's not stealing. She wanted to see Qiao Ning Xi jealous of her. Thinking about how will Qiao Ning Xi react she laughed and texted Gui Han.

[Brother Han, I miss you too. I'll go to you instead.]

- Hua Hua <11:01>

Qiao Hua stood up, wore a jacket and went outside her room. She came down the stairs and went to the nearest room to the stairs in the second floor. Her room is on the third room along with Qiao Ning Xi. While in the second floor, the Gui Family slept in there. The Gui Family arrived a day earlier before the party because they are going to help the Qiao daughters have a successful party. The reason for their help is because of the engagement between the two parties.

Qiao Hua knocked the door and the door instantly opened. Gui Han stood in front of her, looking at her passionately. He looked at her bare face and slowly went down to her neck, to her collarbone and to her night gown. He swallowed, he can feel his body's reaction, getting hotter. Qiao Hua noticed his hot stare towards her.

She smiled with her eyes and hugged him. Once her body touched his, Gui Han couldn't control himself and instantly pulled her inside then locked the door. Inside the room, their heat filled the air, and slowly they let their desire drown them.

Qiao Hua didn't resist Gui Han and that made him want her more. She didn't resist him because this was part of her plan but a lot earlier than she had expected.

On the other hand, Qiao Ning Xi was holding her phone and watching both of them from the start. Since when Qiao Hua appeared on the second floor until when Gui Han closed the door.

She wasn't sure if everything will go down to the same path like in the past so she installed a hidden camera. She felt relieved seeing that everything was the same, she put her phone down and set an alarm 3 hours later then she laid down on her bed and sleep.

3 hours later~

Qiao Hua and Gui Han was laying on the bed taking an hour rest when Qiao Hua remembered that she needs to go back. She looked at the clocked and saw that it was already 2:23 in the morning. She wore her clothes and bid goodbye to Gui Han. Even though he was unwilling but he understood that if anyone finds out what happened between them, it will cause both of them trouble.

Qiao Hua was having a hard time walking because that was her first time and she didn't think that Gui Han could last for more than an hour. The pain was nothing but she was delighted thinking that they already did it that means she became his woman and he also became hers. She clearly knows Gui Han'a attitude, he is disciplined and will be responsible of her. He finally became hers, she was sure that this time Gui Han and Qiao Ning Xi relationship will be impossible.

This time Qiao Hua took off her mask and smiled. Her smile was full of happiness and at the same time viciousness. She didn't care if she was letting her emotions out because she assume that everybody would be sleeping right now because of tomorrow's party. But in dark corner of the hallway, Qiao Ning Xi was watching her smilling contemptuously.

Qiao Ning Xi saw her having a hard time then tremble. She already could guess what will happen since she had experienced it before and she don't have the idea to change or prevent this accident because of her hatred from her past life and also because Qiao Hua never hesitate on hurting or scheming against her during the past 2 years.

Suddenly Qiao Hua's knees felt week, unable to hold into something and she fell down the stairs with a loud Thud.

"THUD!"

Qiao Ning Xi waited for a second then ran toward the stair where the focus of the hidden camera that her grandpa installed. Her expression was stunned and worried. When Qiao Ning Xi saw Qiao Hua state in pain because of the fall, her expression were completely full of worry. She learned how to properly act in the past 2 years and now she thinks that she made a great progress.

"Hua Hua!"

Qiao Ning Xi came down the stair, didn't care if she would slip and fall but was worried after seeing Qiao Hua. When Qiao Hua heard her voice, she was shocked, thinking if Qiao Ning Xi saw her come out of Gui Han's room. She nervously looked at Qiao Ning Xi's face reading her expression and all she could see was Qiao Ning Xi was worried about her that made her felt relieved and sighed of relief.

"Sister, I'm okay but what are you doing here?" Qiao Hua said patting the dirt in her night gown and legs. She couldn't help but to curse in her mind, remembering that this is the second time she fell down the stair. I guess these stairs are cursed.

"I was thirsty and saw that I forgot to refill the water inside my room. Are you sure you're okay? Hua Hua! You're limping! You might have hurt your legs! We need to go the doctor!" Qiao Ning Xi yelled full of worry when she saw Qiao Hua trying to walk but was limping.

Qiao Hua panicked after hearing Qiao Ning Xi's loud voice earlier, she covered her mouth and whispered. "Sister, don't wake anybody up. Tomorrow will a hard and busy day for them, let them rest, okay? Plus I'm reallt allright."

Qiao Hua didn't realize that Qiao Ning Xi made sure to yell loudly to make sure Gui Han heard her and it worked. Gui Han's door suddenly opened and anyone can see that his face was full of worry and distress toward Qiao Hua when he saw her.

He ran toward them and hold Qiao Hua's arm giving her support and making sure she won't fall again. "Hua Hua, What happened?" He asked but when Qiao Ning Xi appeared in his sight, he glared at her. "You pushed her again, don't you?" He pointed his finger toward Qiao Ning Xi and through his eyes his intention was obvious, he wanted to kill her.

" Brother Han of course not! I didn't pushed her before and now! She's my sister and why will I do that?!" Qiao Ning Xi yelled sounding be but not that loud because she didn't want to wake anybody up.

The more she denied it, the more Gui Han believed that she did it and his hatred was reaching his limit. "Of course, because you saw her come out--"

"STOP!"

Qiao Hua shouted stopping Gui Han from continuing what he was planning to say. She looked at Gui Han and said, " Qiao Ning Xi is right, I slipped and fell down the stairs."

The only reason why Gui Han thought that Qiao Ning Xi pushed her because he assumed that Qiao Ning Xi saw her leaving his room limping but when he saw Qiao Hua giving her signals to shut his mouth, he realized that he assumed wrong.

"I'm sorry, Ning Xi. I was just worried and blamed you." He apologized and hold Qiao Hua in his arm. "You should rest and sleep now. Don't worry about Qiao Hua, I'll take care of her." He said.

Gui Han saw Qiao Ning Xi staring at both of them feeling hurt and wanting to say somethimg, she opened her mouth and closed them again. " Okay." She agreed but she looked like she was the one in pain instead of Qiao Hua. Gui Han ignored her stare and carefully supported Qiao Hua toward his room leaving Qiao Ning Xi troubled.

Compare to her expression, her heart was celebrating when Gui Han escort Qiao Hua toward his room leaving his fiance behind. She's gonna use this incident to increase her reputation and gain sympathy. Many people might not like her ways but for revenge she doesn't care about other people's opinion.
