Dire Consequences

Two nights ago, Chloe had told him about her plans to leave the country the following week. Their conversation had been deeper than what they used to have before.

Yang Mingze tried to get her to stay back by dropping hints regarding his intended marriage proposal to her but regardless of how he put his words, she remained adamant. 

Though he was upset, he asked her to go home and think about it again before giving him a reply, so it was only when he saw her again that he remembered the request he had made.

"Are you not…"

Before Yang Mingze could finish his next statement, Chloe hit him with her bag. "You scumbag!"

The first hit was acceptable, same as the second and the third as well. But when the pain intensified and the woman did not seem to be stopping anytime soon, Yang Mingze was forced to hold her wrists.

"What happened? What are you furious about?" he inquired as his face twisted in a deep frown. He didn't find her actions funny.
