Handsome Devil (2)

Chao Xing got angry with that threat, she put her both hands on her waist and looked at him with the same intensity he was looking at her. She was quite short of him so she had to look up while he was looking down at her.

"Do you think I am scared of you? Everyone might be stupid but I am not!" She gritted the last words out.

The man raised his eyebrows as he asked the little girl in front of him, "Why?"

He stepped a little forward toward Chao Xing as he asked with a smirk on his face, "You are not scared?"

"No! I am not!" She proudly replied looking up directly at him. She didn't step back nor did she even blink.

"You know you look like a devil, that's why people are afraid of you." She told him like it was obvious.

He was taken aback by that statement and felt lost for words. Being the deadliest prince out there no one was able to beat him in any argument or war.

No one had ever been able to say these types of words to him and that directly to his face. He was simply shocked by the little girl in front of him.

Wen Ting Hua gave a small smirk, somehow he liked the daring look of that girl.

He wanted to tease her some more, "Little girl!" He paused for a second as she gave him a deadly look, "Better watch out for your words. I can kill you right now and right here!"

"Kill?" Hearing the word kill, Chao Xing was taken aback. She just got the chance to live again and now the thought of dying again scared her.

Her expression softened just at the thought of her being killed. Her proud expression vanished, changed into a shocked one, and then to a scared one.

"You can't!" She took a step back, feeling scared now.

He knew his threat had worked on her. He was serious too if she had disrespected or threatened him a little longer he might have killed her.

He didn't like people disrespecting him and he will never allow someone to do this.

There was a cold expression on his face which scared her more, giving her a challenging look he replied, "Try me!"

'I just got alive again! I don't want to die again. It hurts.' Chao Xing thought and turned her face, looking at the path she came here from, planning how to run away from there.

Wen Ting Hua smiled a little at her cuteness. He also looked at the place where she was looking and realized she was thinking of running away from there.

He knew he had made the girl scared already but what's the harm in teasing her some more?

"Don't try to run! I will teach you a good lesson if you do so." There was some authority in his words and even though Chao Xing wanted to run away she felt her feet stuck in the same place.

Getting annoyed and angry a little, Chao Xing asked, "What do you want?"

Giving her a smirk he asked, "What's your name?"

"Why should I tell you my name?" She asked.

At this, Wen Ting Hua put forward a deal, "I can think about letting you go from here if you tell me your name."

Without thinking about it much she just blurted out, "Chao Xing!"

With that, she ran as fast as she could. Her dress was long so she pulled it up a little and held it tight in her hands so she wouldn't fall because of that dress. She sprinted away from there as fast as she could.

Nor did she look back once nor did she stop anywhere in the forest anymore, she was scared she might see a wild animal or a scary man again in the forest so she ran directly to that house.

'This place is too scary. I should just stay at that house and try to think of a way to get back to my home.' She said to herself while she was on her way back to the house.

Soon she reached the house. As soon as she entered the house she saw her stepmother just a little distance away from her.

But as her stepmother saw Chao Xing and her empty hands a frown appeared on her face as she came near her.

"Where are the sticks and what took you so long?"

Just then Chao Xing remembered why she went to the forest. She forgot about the sticks after she saw that man.

"I forgot!" Like she didn't care about anything Chao Xing blurted. 

Hearing that her stepmother's eyes narrowed and she got furious, "What do you mean by forgot?"

"I didn't send you there to play. You are getting more and bold day by day." She was getting angrier and angrier and ordered her.

Chao Xing was also getting angry by that woman's continuous words, "If I am not saying anything back doesn't mean you can insult me however you want."

"Oho! What are you going to do then?" Giving her a challenging look she asked.

"I suggest you don't mess with me otherwise I will make you regret it."

Gritting her teeth she gave Chao Xing a murderous glare and like she was enduring herself not to fight with her anymore she gritted out those words, "Go back to your room. You won't be getting any food today."

Chao Xing rolled her eyes and like she didn't care she moved to the other side to go back to her room when suddenly her arm was held by her stepmother in a tight grip not letting her go away from there.

"Don't be thankful that I let go of you like that. Today is your last day in this house so I will just let it pass. I just hope I won't have to see this useless face again...."
