Chapter 86 - No more that fragile Alice (1/2)
He checked the message, ”F*ck! Everything is messed up” Looking down at the little creature in his arms he shook his head in disappointment.
Before he could say anything to her, Xiu Mei tried to back kick him. He chuckled at his childish behavior, ”Mei, these silly tricks won't work on me. Don't forget who taught you self-defense. No matter how good a student is, he cannot overtake his master.”
Turning her face to the side she yelled at him, ”Then leave me you damned! You are hurting me… Let go of me”, she tried to wiggle break free from his strong arms.
”I'm not hurting you, you are hurting yourself. Stop struggling and it won't hurt anymore” he said it nonchalantly. Holding her up by her waist he dragged her back to the dining table. Putting her down he firmly said, ”Mei, I want to talk to you. Without finishing this topic you are not allowed to leave from here, Ok?” she turned her face resentfully, refusing to give him any reply.
”Ok?” Xion asked pressing his voice while he tightens his grip on her.
”Ahhhhhhhhh.....” Next second he automatically released his grip when Xiu Mei gave him an electric shock. Rubbing the right side of his waist he looked at her flabbergasted.
Xiu Mei flicked her hair back, giving him a smug look she mocked him, ”A student can never beat his master, but if a student is like me, then tables will definitely be turned” she waved a mini electroshock weapon that she pulled out from her bag earlier. ”Don't you dare do this again”
As expected of her, she will never back down. Xion smacked his fist angrily at the table causing both crystal vases to fall down, he cursed under his breath, ”F*ck”
Taking a few deep breaths he tried to control his anger and pulled the microphone on his collar discreetly so that grandpa won't get emotionally affected listening to their conversation. After switching it off he shoves it inside his pocket.
They both stare at each other indignantly, Xion moved forward aggressively to scold her, ”This time it's entirely your fault, you are being unreasonable. Without listening to me you tried to walk out on me.” he was fuming red and blue staring at her.
”I know! I know you never accept gifts, but is there a need to behave like this? We could have easily talked this matter out, but no! You chose to provoke me unnecessarily!”
Xiu Mei pressed her lips tightly, refusing to give him an answer. She knows that this is her fault this time, but when she opened the gift box her mind went completely blank, her body reacted itself subconsciously, warning her to run away from here.
Biting her lips she thought about the night 7 years back when Feng Jianyu gave her the diamond, saying he trusted her. Although it was not a gift, it changed her life forever. That gold box containing diamond turned out to be the box full of darkness for her. She is afraid of accepting any materialistic thing after that night, thinking she might end up losing more precious things in her hands.
Once bitten twice shy, being fearful of her past, she got scared whenever someone gives her any gift. She felt herself terror-struck that history might repeat itself, causing her to suffer the same pain once more. The moment she opened the box to take a look at Xion's gift, instead of bracelet her mind showed her the image of that very same diamond in its place.
