Chapter 22 - INVITATION

Li Jie stood up and walked away calmly. He kept walking until he reached where he parked his car. He was still in the trance of what happened to him in past. Everyone around him were keeping a safe distance from him due his cold aura and his cold, emotionless eyes.

His gaze fell on a beautiful white fur scarf, Li Jie shook himself " I have Ying Ying now, I am not alone "Li Jie thought of Ying Ying who was waiting for him. " Today, I will prepare a delicious meal for him and i should go buy rabbit meat in large quantity for tonight " Li Jie thought to himself.

He sat in the driver seat with happy face and drove to the meat shop.

In Yang Le apartment

Mo Yichen looked at the fox who was scratching the door with his paws. The door was rattling due to force. He immidiately picked the fox " What are you trying to do " he said in cold voice.

Ying Ying tried to break free from the tight grip but all the efforts were fruitless. Ying Ying tried to reach the door again.

Mo Yichen looked at the fox trying to reach the door with his small paws. He looked at the fox's eyes which were full of tears.

" I will open the door but you are not allowed to move away from me " Mo Yichen said in a stern voice. He opened the door and looked down at the fox in his arms.

Ying Ying blinked his fox eyes at him trying to break free from Mo Yichen while acting cute.

He heard the voice of elevator opening, He was about to turn his head to look at the intruder. Suddenly, He heard a cold voice from behind" How Dare You ". Mo Yichen stiffen by the voice.

He could deal with the intruder but he also had to protect the fox in his arms. The intruder had surely killed someone today by the smell of blood on his bloody.

Mo yichen could feel the cold aura and also the killing intent overflowing from from the intruder. He stiffly turned his head to face the intruder only to look at the familiar face of the man from previous night.

Li Jie was in happy mood thinking about the food and ying Ying who was waiting for him at home. He stepped out of the elevator only to see Ying Ying struggling to break from an unknown man's clutches.

He almost killed the unknown man in rage. " How Dare You " Li Jie roared. He saw the ,man turn to face him, Li Jie was stunned looking at the familiar face of Mo Yichen.

He was looing at Mo Yichen in trance. So, He almost fell over when Ying Ying leaped on him. Before, He could stabilize himself. He felt Mo Yichen's hand on his lower back to support him.

Mo Yichen stayed rooted in the place with his hand on the man's lower back, He saw that the man was going to fall and supported him unintentionally. He saw the man stiffen up by his touch. He awkwardly retrieved his hand from his back.

Li Jie could still feel the warmth on his back. He hugged Ying Ying tightly in his arms due to embarrassment.

" I am sorry, I thought you were trying to kidnap Ying Ying " Li Jie said trying to dissolve the awkwardness between them.

Mo Yichen was shocked by the change in Li Jie. Earlier, He was like a devil from hell that was after his life and now he was like a lion whose mane was combed.

" Hello, I am Mo Yichen from the next door. Your pet came into our balcony " Mo Yichen tried to explain.

" Li Jie " Li Jie replied. Mo Yichen looked at the Li Jie's right hand in front of him, The skin of his hand was so white, it was almost glowing and his fingers were long and beautiful topped with neat cut nails. The only fault was the redness of knuckles, They were unusually red against the fair skin.

Mo Yichen narrowed his eyes and put his right hand forward in his hand. He could feel the cold and smooth skin of his hand. Mo Yichen's hand was bigger than Li Jie's . Their hands fitted against each other like they were made for each other.

" We are making dinner, Would you like to join us "Li Jie blurted out.

" Okay, I will be there by 8, Thank you " Mo Yichen answered instantly and went inside the apartment.

Mo Yichen snickered with his back on the door. The man from previous life was nowhere to be seen. He was like a rabbit in front of a big bad wolf getting all flustered and fidgeted. His were not purple like last time, He must be wearing contact lenses to cover his purple eyes.

He was thinking about about him when his mind drifted to the blood smell on Li Jie and his knuckles. A strange light flashed through his unfathomable eyes.

" It looks like you have many secrets, Li Jie " Mo Yichen said to himself and walked inside the apartment. He was looking forward to meet him.
