Story for another day

(PRESENT)

Qin Si's fist curled up," Mi Chan did that to you. You never told anyone! Wang Zhao did that to you?! Why the fuck did you not tell me once! Why?! Are you stupid or what?!" She yelled angrily as Sang Qian sipped her coffee.

Sitting on the couch, In sang Qian's guest house. She

Sang Qian was calm," well, it's about a long time ago. Moreover, I didn't want to be fuel in the furious fire."

Qin Si clenched her jaw," That's ridiculously foolish Qian. He seriously does not deserve your forgiveness. But on the other hand, it's not his fault. Just like you were in love with him, blinded, to find out the complete truth; the same way, he was also blinded by his love for Mi Chan."

Sang Qian sighed," that is why I wanted to tell him always, he was being fooled. You know what I noticed today. I noticed doubt in his eyes for Mi Chan, for the very first time in my life. I wish, somehow he comes to realize how big of a mistake he is making."

Qin Si smiled lightly," well, have you given up already?" Sang Qian smiled," I just decided, I would not let him affect me anymore but deep down I still wish a happy ending for him. That's all I want. If Mi Chan can give him the happy ending, I won't touch her ever. She can stay by his side forever."

Qin Si sighed. Her friend was too romantic sometimes and completely forgot that she is meant to be a bad bitch for her whole life. Qin Si smirked when a thought of fuelling the fire of a Villainess within Sang Qian crossed her mind.

But for the time being she needed more answers to her questions," well, did it all just end there, it clearly didn't. What happened next?" Sang Qian sighed," that's a story for another day. Just know that after that incident I met someone who helped me find the truth about Mi Chan and Li Zinhuo."

Qin Si smiled," well who was that person?" Sang Qian sighed," I never found out." She clenched her jaw but she was grateful. Whoever helped her back then was a true helper and the person never asked for anything in return.

Qin Si nodded her head," well Qian, you know what?" Sang Qian looked up. "You always wanted a happy ending for Wang Zhao right? How come you never thought of becoming one."

Sang Qian raised a brow surprisingly. She wanted to say something, but when she thought about it, it made her realize, she never really thought about it. Qin Si walked to her," how come you call yourself a villainess if you didn't fight for what you want?"

Sang Qian sighed," Hey! That's not what I should think right now. I am so done fighting for what I wanted." Qin Si scoffed," did you really fight for him?" Sang Qian looked up and again realizations washed over her.

Mi Chan tapped her fingers on the small table in front of her. She was waiting for Li Zinhuo in his apartment. She was nervous and angered at the same time. She wanted to know a lot of things from him.

She was so confused by Sang Qian's words. She wanted answers to her never-ending questions. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the door know turn. Her eyes met with another pair of dark orbs. The lump in her throat grew when she noticed him dressed formally.

The expression on his face was calm," how are you?" She gulped lightly," I am doing good. I met with Sang Qian today. It wasn't a very pleasant meeting."

He removed his coat and threw it aside getting comfortable on the couch. She noticed his action and walked to the kitchen, pouring water for him," do you want something to eat?" He shook his head," I am having a headache."

She frowned," you haven't had anything since the morning?" He smiled lightly," you don't have to worry about me. You're getting engaged this weekend. Worry about Wang Zhao who is going to be prisoned for life."

Mi Chan didn't argue back. She simply started preparing omelet for him. He frowned and walked to her," what's wrong?" Mi Chan sighed as she worked side by side," nothing, as I said, meeting with Sang Qian wasn't very pleasant. She said some things I do doubt myself."

Li Zinhuo stroked her hair making her heart skip a beat," She spouts nonsense all the time. You don't have to worry about what she says. By the way, as I said earlier, you need to understand that I no longer can protect you against your father. It will be over once you get married. You will have to tell Wang Zhao the whole truth yourself."

Mi Chan nodded as she served him the omelets she prepared," I understand. You have been there for me always. I am so grateful." He looked at her and their was a strange tension between them. He took a step towards her and she stepped back.

He held the fork and smirked," I am still a bit overwhelming, ain't I? I am sorry. So tell me what did Sang Qian say?" MI Chan bit her lip," she knows everything about us. Almost, but she misunderstood it."

Li Zinhuo nodded," I know that. You don't have to worry. No matter what, Sang Qian can never be a threat to your wedding since she doesn't want to break you guys apart."

He chewed on the omelet and ruffled MI Chan's hair," Finally, you are a certified wife. I mean, you are trained good enough by me." She smiled at him. Her heart felt warmth. No matter what, Li Zinhuo was the closest person to her. Even closer than Wang Zhao.

She sighed when her mind drifted back to some old memories. How long had it been, since she had a casual conversation with him. Li zinhuo paused and looked at her," I am sorry for that day. Everything was going over my head. I was just worried."

Mi Chan stepped closer to him," you won't betray me right? You promised me you don't love me and you won't ever fall for me. Would you keep it till the end? You know I only have Wang Zhao in my heart right?" His grip on the fork tightened.

He looked back in her eyes. He was unable to reply. He felt bitter all of a sudden. His eyes turned cold as he stepped away," you don't have to remind me. Don't take seriously whatever I said. Well just know that, keep the engagement small, just in case your father finds out. He will crush your dreams in a mere second."

Mi Chan felt both disappointed and assured at the same time. She frowned," Don't turn into an iceberg now." She caught his wrist. He looked back with his calm eyes. His eyes traveled down on her lips. He looked back up again.

Sang Qian waved at Qin Si," I will come back tomorrow." Qin Si smiled at her," sure. Now go deal with your lover!" Sang Qian frowned," shut up! Bye now!"

She drove away. Little did Sang Qian know, something was awaiting her. As soon as she reached her apartment. She just wished Wang Zhao had already left. She wasn't ready to face him at all. If she did, he would again spoil her mood, asking annoying questions.

She opened the door to her apartment, and the aroma of food entered her nostrils. She would be damned if she lied that her stomach wasn't growling. She licked her lips and peeked inside. She saw no one. She tip-toed towards the kitchen. It was neat and clean, there was no one. She wondered where the aroma was coming from?

She saw a few bowls covered with lids. She lifted one of those and found noodles. She almost drooled on top of that. She covered it again hurriedly. She sighed when she found him nowhere in the gallery and living room. Did he leave just like that?

Just as she walked by the couch, her eyes landed on the gun, still intact. Her eyes widened when she was reminded of the picture on the table. Her forehead was covered in sweat as she started searching for the photograph. She found it under the couch. Her heart calmed down a bit.

She picked up her gun and hurriedly put it in her bag. She reached out for the box and found nothing special to arouse his suspicion. She was so grateful, that he didn't find anything.

Finally, her heartbeat returned to normal. She again walked to the kitchen. She couldn't help but smile," well, I deserve it for all the favours he gained." She lifted fork and started munching on the noodles. A light moan escaped her lips," Its so good. Oof, lucky Mi Chan."

She didn't realize how unbothered she was. She nodded her head in satisfaction," Well deserved." She placed the bowl back on the counter," Let's change before we enjoy!" She mumbled to herself.

She hurried inside the room and closed the door behind. But as soon as she turned around a gasp escaped her lips when she saw Wang Zhao laying on the bed. He had his back facing her. She placed her hand on her mouth, holding back her scream.
