A Suitable Punishment?

Wei Yan's actions certainly made more sense now. He believed that he was truly in love with Xue Ning, but what he was in love with was besting Jingwei - and what better way to do that than to snatch the woman he loved from him right from his nose? 

Who that woman was wouldn't matter - if Jingwei had moved on to Chun Fei, Wei Yan would have stolen her too!

Xue Ning scowled. 

"You fucker! You have a lot of nerve treating me like a prize to be won!" Xue Ning hated it when she became an unwitting chess piece in someone else's game! Her foot flexed, itching to deliver another swift kick. 

"You're terrible!" Chun Fei agreed, nodding her head fervently. "I could still forgive you for making a fool out of me if you honestly loved Xue Ning, but it turns out, you don't even like her enough to respect her!"
