"Little flower...." the man still stubbornly refused to call her by her actual name and stuck to the oddity of calling her a little....flower.
Feilan really felt like calling him his nick name too but rejected the idea immediately....
That nick name was too sentimental and the man might instead be pleased with it when what she wanted was to irritate him
Give him a taste of his own medicine.
'Baby' Feilan even shuddered at the thought...wondering where she had got the courage to call him that in the first place.
But she guessed desperate times called for desperate measures and she hadn't known the man's name so she had had to improvise.
"Stop fazing out little flower..." the man remarked and Feilan snapped out of her thoughts and said
"OK sir..what were you saying" she said with a harmless smile plastered on.
The man frowned ever so slightly before regaining his calm face and he said
"My name is Lushan....you should call me that"
The man calmly stated and Feilan narrowed her eyes 'So his name is Lushan...hmmm how interesting...though he hasn't mentioned his family name...he can't be someone simple with the way he carries himself
'I really wonder who he is'
Feilan wondered to herself but what Lushan next said left her dead silent
"You've rejected my first two proposals little flower.....you can't reject the third"
Lushan said in a firm tone that left no room for discussion.
It seemed like he'd finally come to a conclusion as he straight forwardly said
"You're gonna have to give me a month's of your time little flower and become my girlfriend within this time"
Feilan's jaw nearly hit rock bottom and she was absolutely speechless.
Despite mentally preparing herself for this strange man's request, she was still blown away by the absurdity of it.
Feilan pointed at herself with wide eyes "Me!...you're girlfriend" Feilan interrogated trying to find any traces of this being a joke.
But Lushan was dead serious and he seemed like he wasn't taking no for an answer this time round.
He nonchalantly nodded and said "I already told you that I don't do charity work...so if one billion dollars and one night with you won't do...then, your time and acting skills will have to foot the bill"
"Plus..it's not like I'm the one that told you to end up calling me your boyfriend"
"And you can consider this as me embracing your words and as you paying damage control"
Feilan was dumbfound 'Damage control...damage control...what damage had she caused"
She eyed Lushan planning on refuting his words but his next words cut her short
"Did you ever consider the fact that I might have a girlfriend...
"Imagine how terrible it would have been if she were to find out that a random girl had so vehemently called me her boyfriend
"Even if I didn't have a girlfriend...you still have to pay for implicating me in your falsehood"
Lushan sounded so self righteous and victimised that Feilan was wordless in her defence.
She even felt guilty and a tad of pity for the guy but she quickly realised that this was a manipulative trick Lushan was using to convince her...
Lushan could have easily rejected her and left her to the mercy of Rulong and his minions but he helped her nonetheless.
And looking at Lushan...he really didn't look like the guy to make a loss...or recklessly enter such a situation such as was hers.
So he must have already calculated the pros and cons of assisting her before meticulously helping her and seeming like the Knight in Shining Amour.
"No matter what's going through your head right now little flower....it won't help you..you have to agree to this...cause I can assure you that you can't afford to be in debt to me"
Feilan swallowed nervously but Lushan wasn't done yet
"I won't lie little flower....I'm a simple business man but I still understand the concept of paying debts as soon as possible...you wouldn't want to have to pay a hefty interest would you"
Feilan felt indignant but her mind was racing to find a loophole in this situation or atleast a much more convenient solution.
This man's requests were ridiculously unreasonable.
Feilan was really wondering if she had to repay this guy.
She nervously asked as she stared at Lushan "What if I refuse to repay you"
Lushan looked at Feilan and he tilted his head in amusement like he'd heard something funny.
He then cooly said "If you refuse, then I might have to become a little bit more rough with my little flower...worst case scenario will be you becoming my little servant with no freedom whatsoever for the rest of your unfortunate life"
Lushan's words weren't stated arrogantly or fiercely but his words left Feilan petrified.
She felt her mind go numb as her body repeatedly felt cold shivers surge through it.
The way Lushan spoke felt like he wasn't just making empty statements but rather stating a solid fact.
Feilan's heart was beating fiercely from fear 'Was she really about to enter an unconventional relationship immediately after her break up'
Feilan felt so confused and lost on what to do. She didn't know this strange man or what he would expect of her...but she didn't want to do this....
Suddenly, Lushan chuckled, his deep and sexy voice sending more shivers through Feilan.
"I know the problem here.." Lushan muttered softly to himself and Feilan was confused by his words but she had a bad feeling
'I should have never sought this strange man's help....he's far too mysterious and he seems too dangerous'
Feilan instinctively extended from him but she froze in place the next second.
Lushan's aura had suddenly turned cold and his face was as emotionless as he had been when Feilan had first approached with Rulong's group.
He sat there calmly and Feilan felt a different kind of fear and oppression for the first time in her life.
The kind you would get if you were the subject of topic or target for the devil.
Lushan, this strange and mysterious man was something else.
Feilan couldn't do anything other than sit there and watch as this man brought his face closer to hers..until they were inches apart and could feel each others gentle and warm breathing.
