(Jia Li's POV)
I just don't get it...it should've worked..... I have known Xin for so long, he was the type of man who would think any girl who's polite to him, is actually in love with him..... I tried everything but still.....
(Flashback)
" um..... is that all....you have to say?"
"OH RIGHT!!"
" hope you have a great time with your fiance."
(flashback ended)
then why is he acting so cautious with me....he didn't act even once as the he did in the past!! instead he choose all the different options....what if he's.....
" what if he also regressed back in time!!"
'no....if that would've been true....he would've killed us all the moment he saw us....'
I had so many thoughts in mind but....as soon as I arrived inside the 5 star "Wang" restaurant and saw my beloved Ran's face, all my thoughts vanished...
"look at you, do you have any idea how long I had to wait?!"
look at him acting all tough.....maybe I should tease him a little bit.
"I'm just on time, but it feels like someone was just too eager to have a date with me."
"ah...wha....ye....yes of course!!"
it was only for a second but I clearly saw a blush on his face.
'hehe cute....ahem anyways I shouldn't get too into it..'
I am having such a great time ...but why hasn't he arrived yet....that Xin, I know him too well, he isn't the type of person who would let the girl he likes to go on a date with someone else.
as I was waiting for Xin to show up, so that I could kiss Ran in front of him..... but about half an hour, someone else showed up.
"well well, what a timely coincidence!"
as soon as she came to our table, she straight up hugged my beloved right in front of me....this woman!!
"oh!! I'm not disturbing you am I, Jia Li?"
"haha, not at all, sister Xie."
even Ran was surprised...
"huh?? what are you doing here?"
"oh dear brother, like I said it was just a coincidence..."
she said as she looked at me from corner of her eye, giving me a smug...
'bitch! how did she found out we were here....the date wasn't a secret but the location was!! then how?'
as I was deep in thoughts, she suddenly hugged me as well and whispered in my ear.
"did you really think I'll let you seduce my baby brother.....huh?"
" ....but....how?"
"I was the one who assigned the whole security team for Ran, so that they can give me every information possible."
"wha....?"
soon she broke the hug and sat close to Ran.
"well I was only here to enjoy a great cuisine but who would've known, I would also get to enjoy with great company."
I know how much she likes her brother but this is just too much!!
" sister Xie, I know how much you love your brother but you should also respect his private life."
"you're right dear Jia, but....you know how the world is these days....what if someone tried to hurt my dear brother."
I don't get it, no matter what I say this woman have a reply for all of it!! and all I could do was scream inside my head out of frustration.
I had to bear this situation for another half an hour but just as I was just about to ask Ran that we should now go, my phone showed a message.....that made this whole situation a little more bearable.
[Miss Zhen, just as you said Xin is here.]
' *sigh* finally, this son of a bitch is here..'
[but there's a little problem]
'hmm.... there's more..'
* * * * * * * * * * * *
(Xin's POV)
as soon as I arrived there, I noticed that there wasn't Just Ran and Jia Li but also Xie Xing, who was third wheeling.
"what is she doing here??"
'.....oh who am I kidding, I know that in the novel all of Ran's security guards as well as bodyguards were assigned by her, of course she would come here to ruin the date.'
soon I noticed the Jiang family security chief and went to him to warn him about the upcoming danger....
"So....make sure to check anything or anyone suspicious.."
"sure, thanks for the heads up."
" your welcome."
and with that I started leaving.
"alright I should get going, miss Zhen was kind enough to give me the rest of the day off."
' and miss my well deserved break, not a chance.....well I was only here to give the Jiang security a heads up about the situation.'
"no way I'm gonna help someone who wants to kill me."
and with that I decided to return to the Zhen mansion and spend rest of my free time to relax.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
(Jia Li's POV)
just as the message said, Xin did came to the restaurant but he wasn't here out of jealousy....he was here to warn the Jiang security about some suspicious people who might try to harm both me and Ran.
' I have to say for someone who only thinks from his lower body, he sure did helped out of courtesy.'
soon sister Xie interrupted my train of thoughts.
"what's the matter Jia Li, you've been quiet for a while now....is everything okay?"
"oh nothing, it's just Xin came just now."
just hearing his name made sister Xie's face dark but soon it went back normal.
"and what of it?"
soon Ran joined in the conversation.
"sister looks like you lover of a fool is here."
his remark made me a little surprised, I looked at Xie for some answers and she gestured me saying that it's a misunderstanding on Ran's part.
after this disaster of a date ended, Ran offered to escort me home which I agreed without a second thought.....if not in the restaurant, than atleast in the car I could have some private time.... atleast that's what I thought..
"sister Xie why are going with us, you have your own personal Limo.."
"oh dear Jia, I've sent it for service since it wasn't working well."
' lying bitch!! it's a brand new car, she just bought it and I know her personality, she would've bought a new one if there's even a little problem with her former car.'
Sitting arrangement were as such, driver was driving the car, Ran was on passenger seat and both me and Xie were at the back seat.
and here I thought it would be just me and Ran....
as we were on our way, I noticed how all of a sudden the Jiang security team wasn't with us anymore...more like they were no where to be seen.
I thought this is also one of Xie Xing's shenanigans but when I asked her this, she replied..
"what are you talking about??"
before I could reply, our car started getting filled with some strange gas.....no it was sleeping gas....as I looked at the driver, he was wearing an oxygen mask.....it didn't took long to realise we were being abducted.
After a while, I opened my eyes just to see all three of us were tied together inside an abandoned building...
"Ran!! sister Xie!! are you two Okay??"
soon, sister Xie replied.
"do we look okay to you!! in any case what the hell happened just now..."
I also noticed that Ran was still unconscious due the effects of that gas.....poor Ran.
"damn it I'm not gonna be the damsel in destress here!!"
sister Xie said as she easily broke through the rope, after which she helped me and Ran...
"who could do such a thing!! trying to abduct children of the most influential p-"
but a voice interrupted her.
"oh looks like they broke free from the ropes.....who was the one that tied them, I'm gonna make sure they'll never do things half heartedly."
soon I noticed a group of men, there were total 37 of them and they didn't look like any ordinary thugs at all.
' shit!! Xin tried to warn the chief of security about this....but I didn't think this would actually happen!'
one of them came towards us but before I could think of anything, Xie punched his face, making him fall back.
"what the fuck!!! this bitch!!"
before he could try attacking, Xie did two more jabs on his face and finally used a back kick as a finisher.
"ARGH!"
and with just that we were able to defeat one of them....
"Jia Li, they're not stronger than us, we can easily take them down if we work Together!!"
with that we both started fighting with all of them and surprisingly we were doing well.
"*scoffs* I can't believe you guys are getting beaten up by two girls!! shame on you all!!"
A big guy with a beard, who looked like their leader jumped in and not only blocked our attacks but also countered them.
"argh!!"
"sister Xie you alright?"
but sister Xie did not answer, instead she went back to him trying every attack possible but somehow he was able to dodge all of them.
" too feisty aren't ye?"
saying that he grabbed sister Xie by her neck.
" guess I have to teach you a lesson!!"
but just as he was going to slam her on the ground... someone jumped in the air and stomped that beard guys head, while also saving sister Xie.
"no way....."
"I have to say, miss.....how come everytime we meet, you're always in trouble?"
seeing this guy I was more than relieved...
" you guys must be exhausted, Don't worry you can rest now...."
As he was talking to us, sister Xie also asked me.
"Jia Li....who is this guy? do you know him??"
"him?"
I looked at him one more time as my smile became wider.
"he's the hero of this city, Grey Knight!!"
