chapter Nine: mother in law problems

"Uhm... Brother Hanchen let's take it as it never happened, I know you were trying to help me, I won't hold it against you"

"What if I don't want to?? What if I want to make you mine?"

I showed her the ring. "Don't take it off"

I got up from her.

"This is-"  she looked at me, the expression saying it all.

I bent down and kissed her.

She was shocked. "You-" I kissed her again, this time I lingered and tasted her.

"You're mine eventually, you see, I'll just give you 3 strikes, if you end up liking me, then you're mine, but if you don't, I'll step back"

"Then.. then you must keep to your word" she pointed at me and I nodded fully confident that she won't be able to resist.

"I should be going to work"

"I don't want you going to work"

"Why?"

As she got down from the bed she fell to the floor.

I laughed, then stood up and carried her up, I was only on brief so my chest was exposed.

She started blushing.

"I wasn't too gentle last night, so you may not be able to really walk"

I struggled not to laugh.

"You pervert" she looked away.

I carried her downstairs.

The moment the bodyguard saw me they looked away immediately.

"I think your bodyguards are really shy"

"Really?" I said absentmindedly.

Unaware that it was because of my character this past few days that caused a wave of surprise.

I dropped her on the chair and sat down as food was served.

"Uhm... Brother Hanchen, what about uh.. junting"

The moment I heard that name the killing intent in me rise higher and I squeezed the fork I was holding.

I looked at her, "if you want to know then eat up, after you're done I'll take you to see him"

****

Nian Junting's pov

           I just laid there, groaning, after receiving several beatings and pokes, I opened my eyes.

The sunlight was too extreme so I winced a bit, I was feeling woozy and my throat was parched.

"You're lucky you're alive" unheard that voice. Opening my eyes again, I saw that handsome, sculptured face that came straight out of a painting.

"You know you're the first person to ever escape from my hand alive, all thanks to Little xi"

I looked behind him and saw Ning xi, wearing a white shirt I knew was for men, she was looking at me with disgust and also pity.

"You- you guys" I tried to say.

"Oh you mean the drug? Yeah it's been neutralized, must thank you, you paved the way for me"

"Brother Hanchen" Ning xi's face turned red.

"Ning- Ning xi is mine, I'll take her away from you"

"It's the persistent one like you I like the most, I'd like to see you try though, don't worry I'll be setting you free"

"Nian Junting" Ning xi called my name.

"I don't know what led you to think I still like you, but you're wrong and the next time, I promise you I won't take this lying down"

"I know you still love me, you're just playing hard to get and you think you can fool me by bringing this man?"

"Then I'm afraid you're too short sighted"

She showed me a ring, it's luster glowing so brightly and I could see the initial on it,hers and his. An engagement ring.

All the while Li Hanchen was busy smiling.

"Your mother has been throwing a serious tantrum outside of our gate since morning, which is pretty annoying so I'll release you, but be careful, I don't bite twice"

He signaled to his men and they immediately carried me up and led me out of the room.

"Junting! My son" I could hear my mom's voice.

"You bastard, I'll definitely report you to this Police, I'll make sure you rot in jail"

"Go ahead then, let's see what the police will have to say about your kidnapping case, especially when there's evidence"

My countenance changed, "let's get out of here"

After we got home, my mom immediately ordered the servants to prepare a hot bath.

"Brother junting?"

I heard shin Jia Yi's voice.

Shit I didn't want her to be around as I didn't want to bother explaining what had happened.

"Jia Yi" I turned to look at her.

"What happened to you? Who-"

"It's that Ning xi girl" my mom shouted.

"Ning xi boyfriend, he beat me up without any reason, because of that his girlfriend"

"What?"

"Jia Yi I'm really tired right now"

"You can go rest okay" I nodded my head.

Ning xi, If I can't have you no one will...

Thinking back to the engagement ring, I clenched my fists as I soaked in the hot water. I could visibly see some hickey mark. Knowing they did it I couldn't help but be mad.

Now that they had already done it, it would be hard to separate them, as it was Ning xi's first time.

Why hadn't I touched her all this while she was married to me?

She was so good at hiding herself, she greatly irritated me at that time, but now she was like a shining ember, a distant star I couldn't get my hands on no matter how hard I tried.

I needed more power, more reinforcement of I needed to get her back, that assets, that money was mine.

After resting, I ate, my face was really bruised, I answered a certain call as I ate.

Xuelo was sulking.

"Even if you guys are divorced it's really cruel enough for her to do this to your face, brother at least tell me you guys did it"

"Xuelo, it's enough"

Shin Jia Yi came into the picture.

"Brother Junting, I'll be going on a business trio in two days time"

"Really? Do you want me to follow you?"

"No, don't worry, I'll e back safe and sound okay"

She Kissed me as she went upstairs.

Unlike Ning xi, shin Jia Yi was more resourceful and broad minded, unlike the docile Ning xi, doing everything I wanted. But now I knew it was all just a sham, and she was doing it for me at the time.
