Chapter 6

"Who are you people? Do you know who I am?" Guo Sheng resorted to pathetically screaming as his arrogant face morphed into a scowl.

Zhuo Li crouched near him, grabbing his chin, the butterfly knife in his right hand. "Should I just cut off your tongue?"

Guo Sheng visibly trembled as he looked up at the eyes of the crazy man, whose unique color hid the depths of malice in them.

Just as Zhuo Li was about to grab the tongue of Guo Sheng, the door flung open and a young woman sauntered in. Her air of arrogance made all people in the room, take in unintended sharp breaths. Zhuo Li looked up to see the woman glaring down at him.

"Mother will surely bound you here forever if she hears what you are doing in stead of recovering." She said as she headed towards one of the sofas in the hospital room, her heels clicking with every step she took.

Zhuo Li sighed as he stood up and handed the knife to his right hand man whilst removing his gloves.

"Leave." He flicked his wrist and all the people in the room left. "Oh right. You're lucky today. Should I see you again, I will come for you and slice that damned throat of yours." He added as he looked at Guo Sheng who instantly fled the room.

He sat across from his sister, Zhuo Fei, as he poured a glass of water for himself. "What are you doing here in Beijing?"

"Shouldn't you pour your guest a glass of water?" She asked as she watched him down it.

"I'm the patient here."

Zhuo Fei rolled her eyes at her younger brother. "To answer your previos question, I'm here to visit my sweet younger brother."

"Sweet? Mother must have forced you to come otherwise you would not even bat an eye even when I would be in the ICU." Zhuo Li mumbled.

"You brat, I'm taking time from my busy schedule and that is what you are to say?"She sighed before continuing. "Anyway, who was the guy you were trying to murder earlier?"

"He harmed my friend so I wanted to give it back to him tenfold. "

"Your friend? You...have a friend here?"

"Is it that hard to believe?"

"Uh yeah. You only have three friends and they are your siblings."

"Enough talk about friends. I am going to see her." He said as he stood up.

"Her? HER? You sure have lost it after the accident. I want to see this person that you are willing to cause chaos for." Zhuo Fei said as she followed her brother.

They stopped in front of Tang Li Na's room and Zhuo Li knocked before a weak voice answered.

They went inside and found Tang Lina seated on her bed, as she ate a bowl of porridge. Two female bodyguards stood near the door and Tang Lina asked them to leave.

"Thank you for earlier, Zhuo Li." She smiled up at him and he removed some of the silver locks framing her face, tucking them behind her ear.

"No problem. I'm just glad that you are okay. "He answered and Zhuo Fei cleared her throat, instantly destroying his little bubble.He rolled his eyes before turning to her. "This is my elder sister, Zhuo Fei."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tang Li Na" She said as she extended her hand for a shake.

"The pleasure is all mine. Wait, Tang Li Na? The Tang enterprises president?"

"Yes, you know me?" Tang Li Na smiled.

"Of course, you're quite famous across the country."

Until now, Tang Li Na had not realised the extent of her popularity and the power she held.

"That's enough." Zhuo Li suddenly said as he slightly shoved his sister away from Tang Li Na.

Zhuo Fei was about to lash at him but she remembered that Tang Li Na was present and this was not their home where he could whoop his ass.

"Oh look at the time. Didn't you have an appointment with your manager, Zhuo Fei?" Zhuo Li asked as he smiled at her, a gesture for her to fuck off.

Zhuo Fei gritted her teeth as she smiled. "Oh, I forgot about it." She turned to Tang Li Na, plastering a genuine smile. "It was nice meeting you. I hope we can be friends."

"Of course." Tang Li Na said and Zhuo Fei left but not before glaring at her brother.

"Your sister looks familiar. Is she perhaps a celebrity?"

"Yes, she is an actress. " Zhuo Li answered her as he cleated the table for her. He peeled an apple for her and handed it to her after cutting it into smaller pieces.

"How are you feeling?" He asked as he examined her neck, noticing some bruises on it.

'Should I just kill that moron?' He soliloquized.

"I'm still kinda shaken up but I will feel better soon. I'm sorry you had to see that earlier."

"It's okay, you shouldn't apologise because of that ba-...I mean man. Who is he anyway?"

"My fiancé. I'm planning to call off the engagement though."

He nodded in understanding. "Oh by the way, we have to postpone our outing to another day."

"That's okay, we have plenty of time. Do you have something to do right now?" She asked.

He raised a brow before answering. "No."

"The let's watch a movie together." She suggested as she patted the space beside her on the large bed.

Zhuo Li panicked a bit before composing himself. However,his heart was beating too fast as he calmly walked to the bed and sat beside her. "Sure."

Tang Li Na smiled as she chose a movie to watch.

Zhuo Li, on the other hand was having an internal war.

'It's just a movie. Nothing else. But why is she so calm while I'm finding it hard to compose myself. No, let's be calm. But I've never sat this close to a woman. Well except my mother and sister. It's just a movie. She only sees you as a friend, so calm down you bastard...'

His wild thoughts were interrupted when a tiny hand patted his arm. "Are you okay?Your face is red." She asked innocently.
