Possessiveness

The sudden appearance of Fu Nanli disrupted her plans and made her previous efforts go to waste. Now she had to begin her experiment again! Not only that, it meant she probably had to fabricate more lies…

Of course her first instinct was to run away.

She sheepishly turned back to face Fu Nanli. “I wasn’t… wasn’t running away.”

Fu Nanli sized up the guy behind her. Uncle Li had shown him Zhuang Yan’s photo before, so he recognized that guy to be the male classmate whom Wen Qiao had pursued in the past.

His gaze turned dark and gloomy, and his tight grip left a red imprint on Wen Qiao’s hand, making her gasp softly. “It hurts.”

Fu Nanli pulled her towards the central atrium. Zhuang Yan had wanted to follow then, but one of Fu Nanli’s bodyguards stopped him. “Sorry, our young master does not wish to be interrupted.”

The door to the opposite elevator opened, and Madam Zhuang walked out from it. Seeing Zhuang Yan getting into an argument with someone, she quickly held her son back. After casting a glance at Wen Qiao who was being pulled away by a tall and well-built man, she said in a hushed voice, “The concert is about to begin, let’s go in.”

A girl with a family history of mental illness wasn’t good enough for her son regardless of how outstanding she was. This Wen Qiao could forget about marrying into the Zhuang family.

…

In the central atrium’s resting bar area, next to the flowerbeds, the rippling sounds of water could be heard in the background as Wen Qiao cautiously gazed at the livid-looking man in front of her.

“Why did you run away when you saw me?”

“I… I was afraid you’d get the wrong idea about me and Zhuang Yan.” If she didn’t come up with a plausible excuse, this young master definitely wouldn’t let her off today!

“So you came here with Zhuang Yan?”

“Of course not! We merely bumped into each other at the entrance of the cruise. I came with Lu Youyou. If you don’t believe me you can ask Youyou…”

Lu Youyou had always declared herself to be a ‘Man of Steel’. Yet now that she was suddenly called upon, she trembled as she replied, “Mr. Fu, the summer camp was real. Qiaoqiao and I did go to summer camp together.”

Wen Qiao was speechless.

Whoever mentioned summer camp? Is she exposing herself without being asked?

Lu Youyou, what happened to your manly aura? Why did you turn into a wimp at the sight of Fu Nanli?

Fu Nanli looked towards Lu Youyou. “Sorry, I need to speak to my girlfriend in private. Can you please leave us?”

Wen Qiao widened her eyes and shot Lu Youyou a look pleading for her not to leave them alone. Lu Youyou, however, was like a little lamb and did whatever Fu Nanli told her to. She fled in a light-footed manner and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

“Let’s talk about this summer camp.”

Enough was enough. It had been six days, but still she didn’t show up to confess the truth to him. Today, when she saw him, the first thing that came to her mind was to run away. Fu Nanli was livid.

No matter how good a person’s upbringing was, it was inevitable that he would lose control of his emotions in such a situation.

The corners of Wen Qiao’s mouth twitched, and she was about to open her mouth when…

“Think carefully before you speak.”

Wen Qiao raised her head and closed her mouth again. With the crystal chandelier lights cast upon his face, she could sense him fuming inwardly.

By now, she was already regretting the decision to deceive him to begin with, and had the intention to extract herself from the situation. Yet now, she felt like she had sunk into a gigantic swamp and that it was no longer her call to end this.

“I did lie to you.”

“What about?” He grazed his fingers against her wrist, a deep glint in his eyes.

“I didn’t go to summer camp.”

“Why did you lie?”

Like someone walking on a tightrope, since Wen Qiao had taken that first step, she had no choice but to keep moving forward, to cover up one lie with another one.

It was beyond her control, and she was feeling increasingly guilty and sheepish about it.

“Because I keep feeling that our family backgrounds aren’t compatible. I feel that I’m not good enough for you. Being together with you gives me an immense sense of pressure.”

At her words, Fu Nanli’s large hand glided down from her shoulders down to her waist, his fingertips tracing her perfect curves.

The young woman’s figure was superb.

Lifting his large hand gently, Wen Qiao was forced to press against his chest, making her heart rate escalate together with her adrenaline levels.

This man was too dangerous.

It was crazy of her to be testing the boundaries of danger.

“Since you’ve agreed to be my girlfriend, you need to be responsible for me. You mustn’t have thoughts about escaping from me again, you hear me?”
