There laid her best friend curled in a ball, sobbing profusely. She was different from the Ying Yue she knew. She was more vulnerable and sad. Yu Yan clenched her jaw. Whoever caused this to her best friend would pay dearly.
Yu Yan climbed on the bed and Ying Yue jumped up in a state of fright.
"How long had you been here?" Ying Yue asked, her voice cracking slightly.
Yu Yan "...."
She didn't reply her but engulfed her in a warm hug and stroked her hair. Ying Yue burst into tears again. Yu Yan had come initially to get Ying Yue's laptop and do a bit of hacking, since hers wasn't as advanced as Ying Yue's but seeing the state her friend was in, she had totally forgotten about that.
"What is it? Tell me, you know you can always tell me anything. " She coaxed, her voice sounding like a mother in pain.
"It's just,... I know it's going to make you so mad." Ying Yue said, as Yu Yan released her. As if remembering what was the problem, she cried harder. Little did she know that what had happened to her would only make Yu Yan very happy.
"Me?... I feel hurt, you know I won't get mad at you. Xiao Yue, You're one of the few people that mean the world to me. "
" Why?...Why is it that you are the only one who loves me unconditionally? " Ying Yue sobbed harder. Hearing that made Yu Yan happy, does that mean she had broken up with Qing Qing?
"It's Qing Qing?" Yu Yan asked, sounding like a jealous girlfriend. Ying Yue nodded and Yu Yan felt so bad. Here she was happy that her friend had dumped or been dumped by that bastard, she had totally neglected how Ying Yue was feeling.
"How do you feel?"
"Very sad, Yu Yan, I love him." Ying Yue protested, crying harder.
" Hey, no problem, you'll get over him. I'm here for you, okay." Yu Yan whispered back at her friend.
" I can never get over him." Ying Yue whined, acting like a spoilt child. Yu Yan felt an ache deep in her heart. Why would Qing Qing mess up someone as beautiful and loving as Ying Yue? She was a pure angel, if anyone deserved to be hurt, it was none but her, the ice witch.
"You'll find someone better. Look at you, you're so beautiful. You're funny, smart, brave, independent. You're perfect. He's just a fool not to see that." Yu Yan avoided telling Ying Yue that she took herself for granted, probably why Qing Qing disrespected her.
"They've already found someone for me." Ying Yue wailed.
" Someone? They? Xiao Yue, please explain, I'm lost. " Yu Yan sat up and stared into the eyes of her best friend. Ying Yue sniffed and started talking;
"I went back home yesterday since Dad called for a family dinner. Apparently, they had sealed my engagement with some so called rich dude. I ran away in the middle of it. I love Qing Qing, I can't leave him." Ying Yue explained.
" Wait, is that why you were acting strange? Who is this dude?" Yu Yan asked. Still, she felt happy. All she had to do was make sure the guy was up to her standards, at least, Ying Yue would break up with Qing Qing.
"I don't know him. I ran away, Yu Yan. I'm scared, I love Qing Qing. " Ying Yue said again, not knowing she was just irritating her best friend.
"Ying Yue..." Yu Yan yelled out accusingly.
"What?"
"You tattooed Qing Qing's name on your body Where? Let me see it. " She yelled out as she started to pull off her best friend's night wear. She felt like a douche. She was able to persuade a random guy not to do what she knew he would regret. Meanwhile, she was waiting for Ying Yue whilst she was doing that same thing. She should just get the worst friend of the year award.
"I didn't do the tattoo." Ying Yue whispered softly, holding Yu Yan's probing hands.
"You didn't?"
"Yes,I spent the entire time arguing with the lady, she claimed Qing Qing was cheating on me. Can you imagine? "
" What? "
" When I said the name to be tattooed, she asked me about him and claimed he was her boyfriend. Can you imagine? She just didn't want to do her job? She stooped so low, we ended up arguing all night until you were reported missing. " Ying Yue's facial expression had morphed into that of anger.
Yu Yan couldn't care less, she was happy the tattoo wasn't on Ying Yue's body. She already knew Qing Qing was a lost cause. No matter what she tells Ying Yue, the latter won't believe her. She could only wait and support her fully.
"I think you should meet this new guy, what if he meets description of your love songs. " Yu Yan said, eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Aiya.... Qing Qing is the description of my love songs. " Ying Yue argued and Yu Yan snorted in a very unladylike manner.
"Just go to bed, everything will be fine." Yu Yan noticed that Ying Yue was still in a sour mood.
" Unless...." Ying Yue looked up.
"You want me to sleep with you." Yu Yan yelled, with a big smile making her eyes look brighter, her white set of teeth shining, hair flying wildly, she looked so beautiful.
"You...." Ying Yue yelled, grabbing a pillow and started hitting Yu Yan, when she noticed the sexual innuendo in her best friend's 'innocent' statement. Yu Yan chuckled as Ying Yue chased her around her room with a pillow.
"Just wait till I catch you, you pervert." Ying Yue screamed, whilst laughing loudly.
" Your boobs will make a soft pillow." Yu Yan screamed back and Ying Yue gasped.
"Wait till I catch you!" They both ended up sleeping off after their mini fight, the atmosphere in Ying Yue's room becoming adorably peaceful.
MEANWHILE,
Gu Jingze woke up with a disturbing headache. It was as though a musical concert was playing in his head. He felt so uneasy. What happened to him last night? He raised his beautiful hand on which lied long manicured fingers and placed it on his fore head.
Did he bring a woman home last night? Did she kiss him? She'd know better than to do that. He was sure she didn't, anyway. Despite being drunk, he'd always been smart enough to push them away. Why couldn't he remember anything from the previous night?
Was she so bad in bed that he couldn't even remember? He tried to get up but all his body ached terribly. It was as though he got into a gang fight.
He tried to stand up but his back ached and his leg throbbed. He was sure he was beaten last night. He felt so enraged. Who dared to beat him like this?
Why didn't he fight back? Last time when he got drunk in Chicago, he took down four men easily. Why didn't he....
He pursed his lips. Where were his godforsaken bodyguards when he was being assaulted? Did they plan it too? They should be prepared to kiss their jobs goodbye.
Mingyu.... why didn't he stop it? He tried desperately to remember what happened the previous night. He looked down and noticed he wasn't fully clothed.
Did he bring a woman home last night? Was it before or after his assault.? Did she help in it? He doubted that.
Why didn't he remember anything apart from going to a bar? Still in his briefs, he raised his hands elegantly and raked his fingers through his hair. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to remember but all he could see was a pair of light brown eyes.
He opened his eyes, his long eyelashes rising slowly and his cold gaze swept through his room? He was going to find out those that did this to him and show them what happens when you mess with President Gu!
He managed to get up and get some pain reliever. His whole body was on fire. He grabbed a first aid kit and headed back to his room. He was used to treating his wounds himself.
After he was done, he slept back, trying to get the drug kick in and do it's job.
