Chapter 104 I've always... (2)

-Continuation of Shi Xue's memory of her past-

When I woke up, I felt a sharp pain on my body. I was in an unfamiliar room that had a pleasant scent of Sweet Alyssum. Zhi Hei was by the bed looking extremely worried. He was so glad to see me awake and asked me if I felt any pain or hunger etc. He was very careful with me when I tried to sit up that he positioned three pillows behind me before I leaned on my back. I felt very happy that someone would care for me like this. I remembered that I was on my way to buy the steak for Ze Yang and I had to leave because he might go raging if I was gone for too long. When I tried to move, my body ached very badly and I realized I was shot by a bullet. After checking up on Zhi Hei that he was alright, I felt very relieved and hugged him. Thank goodness he was alright!

He asked me why I would dodge a bullet for him and I didn't know what to say. This was because I couldn't tell him that I had feelings for him, feelings that were strong enough that even my body acted before my mind did. But even so, I wouldn't allow myself to not do anything when I see him in danger. I probably won't have the chance to be with him, but I wish him well. I wanted to go home because Ze yang would go crazy if I was gone too long. Zhi Hei managed to persuade me to let him take care of me for a few days because I saved him. I couldn't reject him when he was this persistent and sincere. After I recovered, that was the last time I ever saw Zhi Hei. I remember hugging him one last time before we parted.

The reason was because when I got back to the apartment, Ze Yang had destroyed most of the apartment and torn things apart while I was gone. I found an excuse that I stayed over at a friends place because the friend was sick. Of course, he wouldn't give a fuck about my reason. He once again threatened me while holding onto my neck tightly, "Shi Xue, Don't forget that you have things you want to know from me. Only I know it and might tell you if you listen to me obediently. The real reason and cause behind your parent's death. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be an unfilial daughter right?" his laugh was so chilling that my body was frozen. When he first mentioned this as a threat, I thought it was a joke or something he made up to keep me with him. But then.. he showed me visible proof. He held onto my father's birthday present for me. It was a present that he never had the chance to give to me. My dad allowed me to peek once so I remembered how the necklace looked like. This necklace belonged to my mother and was custom made with her name imprinted behind it. Nobody would've been able to see it or know of it's existence. Afterwards, it was put away in his safe, even I didn't know the password to it.

He showed me undeniable proof and said that he knew how my dad really died and the person who did it. That's why he had access to the safe.. and he also used this necklace as a threat to me. If I didn't listen to him, he would destroy everything my dad had left me. As for my mom, everyone had told me that she died from an accident. Ze Yang told me that wasn't the case and he also knew the truth behind it. He refused to tell me unless I listen to him obediently until he gets what he wanted.... my dads company. This was the only thing that I would never let him have! Never!

-End of Shi Xue's past-

These events stacked up and led to the day of my planned assassin. Sigh... why did things turn out this way? I'm not too sure how to explain this. I only knew that my heart had long been empty towards Ze Yang and Qi Wing, that disgusting pair of garbage. I didn't get my chance to avenge myself in the past and almost lost my life in their hands. Now, everything is different.

Thanks to them, I get a second chance to live. Not only that, I get to stay by the person I've always loved. And ... he loved me back wholeheartedly...

Shi Xue tightened her arms around his neck and looked at him with misty eyes. She smiled like the flowers blossoming in Spring, and whispered to his ears, "I've always loved you..."

Zhi Hei woke up from her sweet confession to his ears. His blurred vision saw the loving girl staring at him with indescribable warmth. He stroked her hair and gave her a light peck on the lips. "Morning"

She chuckled and rested her face on his neck, "Morning~"

The spot where her breath touched on his neck, felt hot and his heart started to race.

"Ahhh, it feels so great waking up to you in the morning!."

"Mmm.. don't worry, from now on you'll be waking up to me even when we're old and wrinkly~"

"Hmm? Your mouth is this sweet in the morning already, we haven't even had breakfast yet."

Shi Xue chuckled and whispered, "Then... would you like to skip all meals and taste dessert first?"

She kissed him passionately leaving him in amusement.

After slurping each other's tongue and nibbling each other's lips, the couple remained in each other's embrace.

Zhi Hei smiled warmly, "Seems like I got myself a naughty wife."

She poked him playfully, "I learned from you!!"

"Oh? from me?" he gave a mischievous smirk and started tickling her

"ahhh ahh hahahhahaha !! I'm I'm wrong!! Kyaa you can't touch me there!!! I'll get you back!!" she laughed heartily while rolling around in bed with him...
