"Touch me again and you'll die..." she warned. A handsome smile appeared on his face. He moved closed and pulled her into his arms. "If I touch you, then will you really kill me?" he inquired, his face inching closer to her. "You dare- Ummph!!!" Next moment, he kissed her hard, not caring about the dagger that was already piercing his chest. Blood began to spill but he didn't care. All he knew was that he wanted to kiss her and just so he did. Being the daughter of one of the most feared leaders in the underworld, she was trained to be cruel, merciless and powerful. Her life was not her own but it was perfectly controlled by her father. There was no place for love in her life until he arrived. Rong Yixuan never believed in love at first sight. He always thought that things like love and marriage were not made for someone like him; a cruel, cold-hearted, and cunning person. But meeting her changed everything for him. From the initial teasing, chasing, and wooing, he worked out a perfect plan to enter into her life thinking that he would spend a beautiful life with her. But how could he know that this was just the beginning of their destruction? From the start, their love was cursed. *** This is my discord link: https://discord.gg/KSNFUJD *** This cover art doesn't belong to me. All the credit goes to the original owner.
"I don't believe you," Su Yanruo said turning her gaze away from him.
"Trust me. I am not lying," he said with a victorious smile on his lips. His eyes shone with excitement as he tracked his prey falling into his trap slowly and steadily.
"When I saw you in that hallway with your sister, do you know what I was thinking at that time?" he asked. His voice dropping down an octave oozing out that low seductive manly voice.
"N-no," Su Yanruo shook her head.
Seeing her deep blushing cheeks, Ji Chenglang laughed. Wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him, he said, "I thought, what a wonderful creation of God you were!"
"You are lying." she accused. "You must have seen many prettier girls than me," she said in a sour tone.
Ji Chenglang chuckled, "Nope."
"You are the most prettier of them all." he complimented. "You know what; I know this might be a little sudden to you but I think that I am falling in love with you," he confessed.
Su Yanruo was stunned. This guy sure knows how to act. If she didn't know any better then she might have fallen into his trap.
Acting to be shocked and surprised, she glanced at him. "W-what did you just say?" she asked.
He shook his head. "Nothing. Just forget it."
"Y-you said you love me," she repeated with a shocked face.
Ji Chenglang nodded. Scratching his neck nervously, he confessed, "I know it might sound odd to you because it was so sudden but I am not lying. I like you. I feel like my heart doesn't belong to me anymore."
Saying this, he seized Su Yanruo's hand and placed it onto his heart. "See, just a single touch of your hand and my heart is going crazy," he said.
YUCK!
Su Yanruo groaned internally hearing his typical cheesy words. Every minute with this guy was like drowning yourself in a pool of mud and she hated every part of this. She was getting restless and couldn't take it anymore. Now, it was time for her to end this stupid drama and get into her real character. She wondered what kind of reaction would this guy give her when he realizes that this sweet innocent little lamb is not so sweet anymore.
Su Yanruo smirked secretly.
Seeing that she didn't give any reaction to his lovely words, Ji Chenglang frowned. Is she not moved by his words? He wondered anxiously with his palms starting to sweat a little. Every time, he used this kind of trick on such women; it always worked like a charm.
Just to get sure about her feelings, he asked, "What about you? What do you think of me?"
Su Yanruo acted to blush to hide her face in his arms. "I-I-I…." she stammered for a while unable to say anything.
A big smile formed on his lips knowing that his trick worked. This fish was already in his net and soon he was going to savor her thoroughly. He understood that she was too shy to speak, so he took the lead in asking her. Holding her chin, he made her look into his eyes and he asked, "Do you feel the same about me?"
Su Yanruo nodded shyly.
Ji Chenglang smirked. Moving closer to her, he leaned forward to kiss her but the moment when his lips were about to touch hers, Su Yanruo turned abruptly. Elbowing him lightly, she broke free from his arms and moved away from him.
He frowned on missing the chance to kiss her. An annoyed expression came over his face and he groaned internally. This is presumably the longest time he took to trick a woman and kiss her.
"What happened?" he asked trying to manage his irritation.
"It's just that…." she trailed off.
"What?" he asked impatiently. Taking a step towards her, he was about to grab her shoulder when suddenly he saw a dagger coming straight towards him followed by a sarcastic laugh.
"Before kissing me, why don't you kiss my dagger first," he heard her say.
Ji Chenglang was shocked to his core by her sudden change. Luckily, he had keen movements, and he quickly ducked to save himself. Jumping back, he moved away from her and he glared, "Are you insane?"
"Nice reflex," Su Yanruo commented.
Gripping her dagger, she lunged toward him again as he moved left and right to save himself from her. The dagger went slicking the air making a 'swish', 'slash' sound as she tried to get closer and closer to him. Just when she was about a few inches away from him, she kicked his knee making him fell forward towards her. At the same time, she swished her dagger towards him, but he moved back to avoid it.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to save himself this time from harm. The dagger sliced his right cheek and immediately a large amount of blood started oozing out from his wound. Grabbing the first thing that came into his hand, he threw it at her. It was a remote control. She quickly moved to her left avoiding the thing that was coming to her and then she lunged towards him.
"Who are you?" he roared at her angrily, jumping back to his feet, he lunged towards her with a small knife that was hidden in his clothes.
Swish!
Slash!
Swish!
Slash!
Her dagger and his knife went at each other and at their every move, more and more amount of blood started oozing out from his wounds. Mostly it was Ji Chenglang who was getting hurt. Every part of his body had big and small cuts made by her dagger. She was charging at him like an angry lioness, giving him no chance to attack. He could only deflect whenever he saw her dagger coming at him.
Su Yanruo had enough of this meaningless fight. Grabbing the bow-shaped ribbon on her dress, she twisted, and immediately the whole bow unfolded itself and the big ribbon came undone. With a smirk, she whirled the ribbon into the air and in one single shot, she swung it around Ji Chenglang's neck.
Startled, Ji Chenglang let out a scream as the ribbon tightened itself around his neck blocking his airflow and choking him in the whole process.
"Tsk…. Tsk…. you have nice reflex but that is just so-so in front of me," she sneered, pulling him back by yanking it back with full force. As he was coming towards her, she gripped her dagger, bending slightly she stabbed him right onto his knees.
"Ahh!!!!!!" Ji Chenglang let out a loud scream.
