'She's definitely holding a grudge.'
"You want us to be friends?" Han Mingxia slowly walked towards Liu Zilong like a predator who wanted to torment her prey little by little.
"Well,.." Liu Zilong felt a bit alarmed. He knew she's up to no good but he's also curious what she was planning to do.
"Sure, but let me release my anger first." Han Mingxia might not be good in terms of sneaking in but she could fight in close combat especially if there's only one opponent.
Before Liu Zilong could react, he was hit! Spot on his wounds that was just in the process of healing.
'Shit! That was painful!' He staggered but was able to still maintain his standing position. The woman wasn't satisfied with only one kick. She hit him again and again and again.
"Tell Meixiu I'll see her again." She said after hitting him. Though she still wasn't satisfied, she knew that if she strike him more he might go back to the hospital.
"You're leaving?" He asked as he was trying to control his breathing. Sweat was starting to form on his forehead. Her moves were precise and strong. Normally, it's not a problem for him to receive those type of blows but he's not in good condition and he was hit on his wounds.
Han Mingxia didn't answer. She just walked towards the main gate. When she's about to step out she looked back and saw Liu Zilong unsteadily walking towards her.
"I'll use the proper entrance next time. Also, don't treat your benefactor like a plaything. You should show some gratitude. Ingrate!" She said and ran towards the direction where she left her motorbike.
For a good amount of time, Liu Zilong was speechless. He repeated her words over and over again as he connected the dots.
She's his benefactor?
"So it was you, huh." He said as he looked at the disappearing back of Han Mingxia. He managed to broke a subtle smile before the pain kicked in again making his face twist a little.
She knew where exactly his wounds were. It wasn't by chance that she hit those parts. It was intentional.
'Damn, couldn't she be at least a little gentle?' He murmured. He eventually needed to go back to the hospital tomorrow for a check up. He felt he needed to take a rest a little longer.
As he was about to go back, when he saw her walking towards him with a dark expression.
"Do I have to show my gratitude now or your retaliation wasn't enough?" He teasingly asked as he seductively smile to hide the pain his experiencing.
"My keys. You didn't return them to me." She remembered it was confiscated together with the old phone she used to contact Han Meixiu. She was clearly unaffected with his subtle flirting.
Her glorious exit was ruined by the mere fact the she forgot to get back her keys.
"Oh," He answered. He also forgot to return them. He called someone and within a few minutes Han Mingxia received both.
Without any other word, she turned around and left.
"We'll see each other again." Liu Zilong said when the woman disappeared from his sight. He didn't leave the gate right away. He was just there staring to the direction she took.
*
After quite some time, Liu Zijian started to worry. He felt some kind of moist on his chest. He tried to look at Han Meixiu's face but when he tried to distance himself a little, she would hug him tightly as if she didn't want him to see her face.
In the end, he just let her do what she wanted to do and waited for her to calm down.
He slowly bowed his head a little and kissed the top of her head as one of his hand was gently caressing the back of it while the other was wrapped around her body. It was as if he's telling her everything's okay, he's just here.
He didn't say anything. He felt she's definitely crying. The feeling of wetness got more and more evident by the minute.
Without lifting her head she called his name.
"Zijian..." The restlessness she felt earlier started to disappear little by little. Once her heart calmed down, she found her voice again.
"Hmm?"
"Will you leave me?" She gathered her courage to ask this question. Although she's afraid to hear his answer, she wanted to know. She braced herself for whatever answer he would give her.
"Why would I leave you?" He was surprised with her question. Where did this idea come from? What did the two women talk about?
"You won't?" She finally lifted her head to look at him wanting to be sure if she heard it correctly and not just a pigment of her imagination.
"I won't" He simply answered. Her eyes were red and a little swollen, clearly indicating that she indeed cried. Her fan like eyelashes were still wet. Probably because she buried her face on his chest, there was no evidence of tears on her cheek but his shirt was damped.
"Even if.." Han Meixiu couldn't continue her sentence as Liu Zijian gently kissed her.
"There's no if. I won't leave you." He simply whispered while cupping her face using both of his hands as his thumb was tenderly caressing her cheek covered with pink tinge.
"You won't go back on your words, right?"
"No, I won't" He answered and slightly shook his head while his eyes were looking intently at her.
"Thank you." She said and she quickly gave him a smack on his lips . She smiled and hugged him again enjoying his warmth and his scent that already grown on her.
'He won't leave me.' She happily said to herself. But then she remembered, what if there's another woman.
She lifted her head again and asked him.
"What if there's another woman?"
"What do you mean another woman?" He perplexedly asked her in return.
"Another woman who will be more suitable for you than me." She explained. Her eyes that were eagerly waiting for an answer were clouded with worry.
He didn't understand how could there be another woman who would be more suitable for him than his wife.
"Will you leave me then for her?" She continued her question since Liu Zijian didn't answer right away.
