While Lin Que and Chen Mu were bombarded by messages from different group chats, their hands were occupied with massaging Susu's arm. To be exact, Chen Mu was massaging her arm, and Lin Que was working with his fingers.
This was one of the instructions that Zi Yan left them before she had gone back to the hotel with Professor Luo Xia. Susu was texting with her left hand and the other two gals were busy editing the photos to make it appear more flirtatious.
Susu giggled and showed Chen Mu the group chat she had with his parents. He buried his head on her shoulder, "how did buying fruits get this... this curved??"
"You see.. your mom was shopping earlier, and she saw a huge melon. So she said the melon wasn't as firm looking as your ass in the picture. That's how it all started."
"At least yours is about your butt cheeks, Lily posted the photoshopped photo of me having a wolf tail and some paws on your hips."
"WAIT! Then... if you are a wolf then what am I?"
"A bunny!" Susu raised her left hand and showed her excellent skills in photoshopping.
"Bunny ears and a heart to seal the gap between your lips," she said and nodded.
Chen Mu gasped, "I am so much more masculine than this skinny stick is! How could I be the prey???"
Lin Que smirked and posed with his fingers making a check symbol against his pointy chin, "because I'm much cooler. You can only be bottom ahahahhahaa."
"Who says, huh? I can top you, however much I like!" Chen Mu raised his left brow.
"Buddy, it's good to have dreams." Lin Que mocked as he patted Chen Mu's back and sighed.
"Oh hell no! What's there to dream if it's already the reality?" Chen Mu lifted his head proudly as he rubbed Susu's arm.
"Look at me, guys~Say Yessssss" Everyone looked towards Lily's direction to realize that they were caught on camera again. This time, it was a video.
Lin Que was too familiar with his fiance's personality, so he made a victory sign towards the camera and smiled while his free hand forced Chen Mu's mouth to curve into a smile. The girls joked around and edited different versions of the video. Lily learned quite a bit from Susu when they hung out and worked on Susu's design.
This time, the video became a "He said Yes! Taking his hand for marriage" caption. Chen Mu's parents sent a huge laughing emoji and commented, "Looks like we have a new son. Welcome, my son in law!"
Ariana sent the cool emoji with the sunglasses and commented, "Am I invited to this wedding? Ho~ So our Susu is back to single? Wow! The market is opened again~"
Meanwhile, Chen Mu's lip twitched as he responded, "Hey!!! She's mine and where the heck did those flying heart balloons come from in that video? Who autotuned it?"
Lin Que played along and sent a follow up reply to Chen Mu's comment, "Oh baby~ Don't be so shy~ You just said Yes to me. Geez, are you shy now? Should we head back out to the counter?" Chen Mu sent a huge text of gagging emoji to that response as they continued teasing each other.
While the crowd laughed happily and slapped the other's back for fun, somebody is weeping in a dark alleyway with bandages all over her body. She still hadn't noticed the guards who were secretly following her.
After exiting the hospital with great difficulties, Kitty gasped for fresh air with her hand clenching her chest, "Haa.. Fooo... the drug is so toxic that I could barely move. Argh, it hurts so bad and so fucking itchy. Yin, Karen, I'm coming for you. I'll make sure you get your Karma!"
The guards found it hilarious how exaggerated she reacted when there was no drug in her system. For every ten snail steps that she took, the guards walked one step forward. Normally, it would take people around twenty minutes to reach the city center. At this rate, it would take her five hours to get there.
After a few more steps, Kitty used the wall for support and almost crawled her way to get to an alleyway that leads to an unlocked door to a storage locker. Using the key that was given to her by Zi Yan, she finds number 444 and opens it. A yellow package with unknown content was sitting there, and Kitty carefully stuffed it under her shirt.
She turned her head to her left and right to make sure nobody spotted her before locking the locker again. Once she successfully retrieved the package, the two guards reported back to Zi Yan and Professor Luo Xia about her progress.
"Took her that long? Damn, even that traitor limped faster than her and he was using crutches! Well, okay. Just continue watching her and make sure that she isn't running off." She instructed and hung up.
Professor Luo Xia sipped his tea, "we're giving Yin Zin Leung an early present. Although I wanted to do this later, his daughter dared to lay her dirty fingers on our Susu. So, consider this a slap to his pig head face."
"Haha, his daughter. Funny part is that he doted on the wrong person for all these years. Ah! I can't wait to see his reaction when he realizes that he's been played his entire life. I'll make him spit out Xiao Ling's whereabouts. His greedy ass can die in hell's fire for all I care about, but before anything happens to him, he better give me the information I want."
Zi Yan tapped her fingers against the clear glass that she had finished using. With a light squint in her eyes, the glass shattered to pieces in front of her. "Zi Yan, don't forget to hide your identity even if we are alone."
He reminded her not to act recklessly as people could be eavesdropping from anywhere nowadays. "Oh? But with your ability, dad, those devices would've been-"
BAM
The picture frame from the wall fell down from the wall. "Like this? Of course, but impatience is a flaw in this game. It's just a matter of time, so why not wait for the preys to show themselves? Shall we?"
"Heh. You're right."
"Oh, about Susu's surgery. Are you going to tell her?" He asked her while looking concerned.
"I don't think she realized it yet, but soon she will. Once we are behind doors, it'll be much easier to do what I need to do." Zi Yan folded her arms and sat on the couch.
At the same time, her phone vibrated and a video file was sent to her from an unknown number. She smiled and opened it.
Text message: "After the package was placed in front of the door and she rang the bell."
When she clicked into the next file, she was directed to a hidden camera that was set by one of her secret guards from a few days ago. The video loaded, and she linked the live view to their huge screen in the hotel room.
Currently, in the apartment that Tian Yuo prepared for Karen and her parents, Zin Leung answered the door and saw a package on the floor. He picked it up, went inside, and found various reports from famous hospitals with pictures and other documents in there.
Curious, he went through the first few reports. His eyes widened to the point where his eyeballs nearly popped out of his face as he reviewed the reports with shaking hands. At first, he was shocked to see DNA reports showing up at his door. Then, he figured that it might be for the wrong person. Since the package didn't have a name and he was a nosy person by nature, he opened it.
Perhaps it would have been better for him if he hadn't been that nosy because the reports revealed that Karen Yin and Yin Zin Leung's DNA's result do not match. They were not daughter and father! His heart raced as he shuffled through the reports from various hospitals and every lab test came out with the same conclusion.
"I'm not... the father?!!!!" He slammed the pile of reports on the wooden table and looked through the rest of the package content. Not only was she not his daughter, pictures of his wife's affair that is still going on today were delivered to him!
He slammed his fist against the wall, startling Liang Yu Qing, who was taking a nap. "What's with the damn fuss? I do all this work and cleaned for people during my day shifts just to get this type of treatment?!" She screamed and got out of bed to find papers scattered all over the place.
"What the fuck is wrong with your fucking mind? How dare you make this mess?" Her voice was similar to oil touching fire. His face turned red, and hands formed a fist. "Explain this! What is this?"
He slapped the evidence of her affair to her face. When she saw the familiar faces in the photos, she snapped and shouted, "you checked up on me?! How much money do you have in your account, huh? You say that you're broke, but here you have these high ass quality pictures from private investigators?! Yeah, I wasn't satisfied with your fucking dickhead because your teeny weeny mushroom doesn't feel like shit even when erected! I love large cocks!"
"What? You want to hit me? Great! I'll claim domestic violence and file a divorce. Split your damn savings in another half of a half with the money I get from all the men I go out with!"
His arms stretched and hands clenched her thin neck within his palms. He tightened around it as if he could break her neck any second, "Tell me the truth. Is she my daughter?! Or some fucking bastards?!!!"
"Hahaha, what? Can't deal with doting on someone else's sperm creation? You don't have the guts to kill me. If you kill me, then you'll never figure out shit about THAT project. You think I know nothing, but I have known from the start. Did you think I would marry you without calculating the pros and cons? Well, this is the pro when your anger outbreaks like a hooligan."
She coughed tremendously as his fingers wrapped even tighter around her neck, blocking air from entering her body. Her feet left the cold floor and slippers laid sloppily across the room as her legs swung in every direction during the struggle. Just when she was about to black out, Karen arrived home and witnessed the craziness.
Liang Yu Qing used her last strengths to say, "Go! Run! He found out." Zin Leung let her go after she fainted and decided to deal with Karen, himself. Petrified by his murderous aura, she threw her bag at him to buy herself at least an extra minute to escape the building. She forgot to take her phone from the bag before throwing it, so she had nothing with her when she left the building.
It was a cold night and her breaths were leaving clouded forms as she exhaled heavily. She kept turning back to make sure he wasn't following her while quickening her pace. She didn't know how long she had ran, but she knew where she was headed to. Her boutique.
If she would have known that she was bringing herself to the grim reaper, she probably would have chosen a different route. Even then, she wouldn't have been able to escape.
:3 Finally, meeting the grim reaper. For those who are new to my novel, Xiao Ling is the FL's mother from my first novel who appears later on (Sorry for the early spoilter if you haven't read it.) In this story, her mysterious background will be revealed.
XD
It was a last second change of mind for the plot but :3 let's see how well this plots out~
