11 Arc 1 chapter 9: Sinister Intentions

Zhang Fei was going in a bus towards Xia Ruo's house, the reason he was going in a bus was because a little while ago he had parked his newly bought luxury car outside of a café, he went in there to get a cup of tea, he also decided to eat some cake while he was at it. He took his tea and cake and went to a nice corner of the café and sat there and took a sip from the tea, a couple people were on the T.V in the café saying that since it was going to be a full moon tonight and the weather was going to be nice it would be a fine night to take out your family and loved ones to enjoy the night , he listened to the people on the T.V and took a sip, he looked at his watch and thought that he should probably head out in a bit and then took a sip, he took out his phone to check his schedule and he took a sip, he took a bite of the cake and took a sip , a truck came in speeding and hit his car from behind, he took a sip.

Zhang Fei remained seated in his chair without even looking at the scene of his car being destroyed by the seemingly out of control truck. Zhang Fei only sighed and continued drinking his tea. ' *sigh* and I liked the car too (T^T) '. Zhang Fei was already used to his terrible luck and didn't make such a big fuss out of it. And that's how Zhang Fei ended up going in a bus towards Xia Ruo's house instead of his car.

The bus ride went smoothly mainly because Coco wasn't there to bug Zhang Fei, he didn't know what the cube was up to but it would go away for a few hours for past few days and would then come back. IT wouldn't say where he went but would then always talk with a tone that said 'ha I know something and you don't'. Zhang Fei had first thought that Coco going away randomly would cause problems if he ever needed him, but Coco already told him that he just needed to say his name and he would come right away. But what is that little shit up to anyways. Zhang Fei had to admit he was intrigued about what the cube might be up to.

The bus dropped Zhang Fei near Xia Ruo's house and Zhang Fei thanked the bus driver after which he made his way towards the house. The house butler led Zhang Fei into the mansion and had a polite smile on his face although it turned into a frown as soon as he entered the mansion and neared Xia Ruo's room. "Mr.Zhang Fei, Ms.Xia is in her room." Zhang Fei nodded at the butler and went towards the room, he could hear arguing as he went nearer to the room, he looked back at the butler who only gave him an apologetic smile. Zhang Fei opened the door and immediately heard a loud shout from Xia Ruo.

"I already told, I don't want to do it that way, it's my company so I should do it however I want it."

"Women, for the last time that's not how business works, you have to look at the statistics, make calculations then take appropriate decisions-"

"I know that you four eyed jerk, I'm not a kid!"

"Well you certainly do act like one."

"Arrgh all I'm saying is that it wouldn't affect the sales at all, in fact it would even increase the profits"

"No it won't, you know why, because that's a stupid decision."

"Well yours is even worse, by the way who even offered you the position of a business manager in the company, or did you get it by sucking up to people"

"How dare you doubt my credentials!"

Zhang fei stood there at the door, listening to Xia Ruo and the young manager bicker, he also saw Coco excitedly switching looking at Xia ruo and the young manager whenever one of them would speak. Zhang Fei finally understood where Coco was all this time, he was busy being entertained here. Zhang Fei also liked Drama but not as much as Coco. Well he could understood why Coco would be excited about such things so much since he was trapped in a box for millions of years. The two of them continued bickering, spewing acid back and forth. "Could you two lovebirds stop bickering like children?"

The two immediately stopped and turned towards Zhang Fei looking a bit shocked. Although they both also appeared a little bit red from embarrassment when Zhang Fei mentioned the both of them as 'lovebirds'.

"Oh hello boss, when did you arrive?"

"10 minutes ago, I was standing right here."

The young manager was a little ashamed he didn't notice his boss because he was busy arguing with the devil. He sent a glare towards Xia Ruo and got the same in return. Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, he had read and wrote enough books to know where this was going.

"The party is in 2 hours, Xia Ruo you should get ready." Xia Ruo made an affirmative nod and started going towards another room to change her clothes and get ready but she also somehow managed to stomp both of her feet on the young managers feet who let out a muffled groan of pain.

When Xia Ruo went away, Zhang Fei talked to the manager about some things that he had asked for him to do in the dark, after which he took his leave.

After the manager left Coco flew towards his host.

[Well hello host]

"So this is where you have been the past few days."

[Yep, enjoying a live blossoming romance]

"Well didn't expect anything more from you"

[Well thank yo- hey are you insulting me again you dumb human.]

Zhang Fei ignored Coco who was mumbling angrily under his breath. After more than an hour of waiting much to the annoyance of both Zhang Fei and Coco, Xia ruo finally came out of the other room. She work a light pink dress which revealed a bit of her cleavage although she still appeared more of a delicate beauty than a tempting mistress. She had light make up and had curled up her hair. Zhang Fei had to admit Xia Ruo was beautiful, although uniquely annoying too. She had a slight smile on her face which enhanced her beauty even more and her beautiful eyes with her flawless face made one sigh in admiration. Xia Ruo came infront of Zhang Fei and did a twirl while asking "So? How do I look?"

"Beautiful." Zhang Fei honestly replied with what was on his mind with a slight smile, she really did look beautiful.

"Come on lets go, we are getting late for the party" Zhang Fei said this and then turned around going downstairs. Xia Ruo was stunned for a while because of how of how honest Zhang Fei was and stood there for a while. She blushed a bit when she recalled what Zhang Fei had said and shook her head and thought that with how awfully blunt Zhang Fei is and how cold his personality was that he was just messing with her .She then followed him downstairs and then laughed at him for one whole minute when he told her that his car got wrecked by a truck and he had to come in a bus. She naturally had to lend him his car keys. On the entire way to the party Zhang Fei had a darkened expression because Xia Ruo had a mocking smirk on her face and would occasionally let out a suppressed laugh while Coco was laughing at Full blast right from the moment he had mentioned the story. He seemed to enjoy his host's misery more than others.

They arrived at the venue where the college party was going to be held, it was an old and huge mansion with a lot of rooms and gardens, the owner had wanted to change it into a hotel for the elite and had already started making changes to the mansion, he had even already numbered the rooms by attaching number plates on them.

Most of the college kids had already arrived and were enjoying themselves even before the party had begun. Zhang Fei and Xia Ruo entered the main hall while interlocking their hands like a loving couple, their arrival caused a buzz to spread through the group of people present, they admired how the two of them looked so perfect together but some of the ladies naturally disagreed as they watched the hands holdings Xia Ruo's hands with envy and jealousy.

As luck would have it the duo of Xia Su and Mo Wenzi also came just after Xia Ruo and Zhang Fei, this couple also looked stellar but their beauty was foreshadowed by the Xia Ruo and Zhang Fei. The 2 couples noticed each other and looked at each other with animosity, one could feel the atmosphere becoming tense. The Duo of Xia Su and Mo Wenzi had a darkened expression whereas Zhang Fei had a mischievous smile and Xia Ruo had a mocking and insulting smirk. All four of them had plans for tonight, some simple and some very sinister, and no one knew who would come on top. It would be a very thrilling night.
