On seeing Ming, she was froze like an ice statue. Her mind was totally blank. In just a moment her thoughts gone wild, 'Why is Paiming here?'
Her whole body was shivering and she put both her palms in front of her mouth to cover it. It was like her husband saw her while she was cheating on him with her lover.
'Will he get us wrong?'
But on the other hand, Jim was not shocked or surprised at all, the smirk on his face clearly telling that he was just waiting for this opportunity.
Ming's eyebrows frowned downward making an annoyed and pissed look. He was not angry because of Tina but his real anger was generating from Jim's smirk.
It's like his smirk telling Ming that, "Tina is only mine, you loser!"
He clenched his teeth and his fists were tight and was about to land on Jim at any moment. He was on the verge of exploding.
Tina was staring at Ming in shock but she suddenly felt a big hand on her shoulder forcing her to come closer and before she could react, she was already in Jim's embrace.
She started struggling with all her strength, "Jim! What are you doing? Let me go!" She was trying too hard but Jim's grip was just too tight at the moment.
Jim's eyes were totally focused on Ming's angry face, by holding Tina he wanted to get Ming more pissed and totally ignored that he is currently hurting Tina.
Seeing this Ming's mind gone blank. The person who was about to explode at any moment became senseless. He was in despair, in a world full of darkness and chilling coldness, like there was nothing but loneliness.
Finally Tina collected all her strength, pushed him and got free from his shackles.
"Do you hear me?" Tina yelled at the top of her lungs.
Finally listening to her loud yelling Jim moved his focus to her and Ming also snapped out of his despair and moved his gaze to Tina.
Jim's lips curled upward revealing a smirk, "I can let you go! But I won't give up!" The person who was hugging Tina with sadness just a minute ago has now regained his devilish charm.
And seeing this, Tina thought that she was again played by his hands and got more pissed, "You.."
"President Chin!" Ming couldn't control his legs from moving and stepped between Jim and Tina facing Jim Chin, "Please don't harass my girlfriend again!"
It was like a scene of a movie, where the heroine has being harassed by the villain and finally the hero came forward for her rescue.
Hearing the word girlfriend Jim's reaction was just like a little kid whose toy has been taken by other person, his mind was full of rage and frustration at the moment, frowning his brows he said inwardly, 'Your girlfriend? Hum!'
Ming moved his focus on Tina and said, "C'mon, Tina let me take you home."
listening to his word Tina was a little bit confused, she thought that Ming might have misunderstood her with Jim and might never even see her face again but seeing his current behaviour it doesn't feel like he was sad or angry, "Oh.. ok!" Words came out from her mouth with little bit hesitation.
And they just passed by without saying anything to Jim. But the smirk on Jim's face hadn't dissapeared it was like he took his first step towards getting Tina, 'Tina, is mine I'll get her back!'
Entering in the apartment's building the atmosphere between them were cold, Ming was radiating an stranger like feeling and Tina was embarrassed.
'Alas how can I explain it this time?'
'There's nothing I can do!'
Thinking this she sank her head between her shoulders.
She took a peak at Ming's cold face, 'Paiming... why is he so calm?' Her mind is having so much negative thoughts like, maybe Ming is angry that he couldn't wanna speak to her anymore or he was in a shock after seeing that.
Just when these thoughts are running wild inside her mind, Ming suddenly stopped while walking and Tina who wasn't paying any attention to her surroundings bumped into him.
"Ah.."
They reached to her apartment's door, she took out the keys and opened the door then Ming said in the same cold tone, "Tina, have a good rest!"
Although Ming's words are caring but there was no love and care in his tone, it seemed to her that he is emotionless for a moment and she felt totally guilty for this.
'No, Tina you must say something. You should explain to him!' She said in heart to herself.
And when Ming was about to leave she somehow gathered all her courage and immediately grabbed Ming's hand, "Ming, just now, I..."
Before she could say anything Ming seems to understand her intentions and ended the conversation by saying, "I see!"
But when Tina thought that Ming might be really angry and wouldn't want to talk to her, he suddenly turned around and put his hand on her head, started gently rubbing her head like she was some kind of kid who made a mistake and Ming is trying to cheer her up.
"It's okay, I know, sorry, I was too busy these days to pick you up from work!" Ming said in a sweet tone like he, himself made a mistake and is now apologizing. "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow?"
Tina could easily understand that Jim was just trying to avoid her explanation and brush off the situation. But she didn't had the courage to stop Ming from doing all this and just noded her head, "Okay!"
"Clap!" Tina got inside the house and closed the door.
Ming was still outside her door, some unspoken words are still in his mind,
'Tina, please forgive me for being selfish.'
'I know you love him but I still want to be with you.'
'Sorry, I can't let you go!'.
