And there he was with a face sculpted by the best artists in heaven and a body designed to torture the most defying soul in hell, he looked like any male, she had fantasized about, while reading the romantic novels. But there was something in his impeccable beauty that cautioned her against him. As if it was the call of heaven asking her to reject him straight away. “Look for someone else, I am not interested.” She said and then turned away, finding his words meaninglessly arrogant. But just as she turned, his warning came teasingly, “Are you sure you want to defy me?” Her frown deepened as she turned to ask, “What’s so special about defying you? Are you a lord of some kingdom whom one can’t defy?” The man’s lips curled up in a devilish smirk that looked like a part of his nature. “Even better. I am the Prince of Darkness. The Devil of this universe.” *** She was a human... He was the Devil of the Universe! She was betrayed... He could be called anything that meant deceit! She was poisoned ... While his existence was on stake! Without their knowledge, their fates were intertwined. Making her, his only Survival choice!! ______________ Update Schedule: Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

Variation in perception.

Kuang Tianshi was taken aback for a moment. His eyes that were looking at Yun Meiyi before turned to look at the woman who appeared in front of him out of nowhere. His brows tugged in confusion as he asked, "Sorry, Miss. What do you mean?"

Liu Si Si scowled at his ignorance. "What do I mean? Mister, are you both blind and deaf? I clearly told you to watch your leg and you are still asking me what I mean? Impeccable! Aren't you?"

"Miss, are you deliberately looking for trouble? If not, you should know that slandering is still a punishable offense." Finding the woman a bit of trouble, it didn't take time before Kuang Tianshi got irritated. Getting on his foot, he stood up on his intimidating height. His secretary followed his suit as well.

But Liu Si Si was also not an easy one. She was known to be the arrogant beauty of the industry and she was not given that title for nothing. Even though her aura wasn't a match with the man's, still she took a step forward with confidence to challenge him. "And do you not know that harassing a girl is a more severe punishable offense?"

"You …" Kuang Tianshi couldn't believe it. This was his first time meeting such a hard-headed woman.

Feeling the tension building, the secretary was quick to step in to cool down the things. "Miss, you must have got my boss wrong. He had no such intentions. He just has not seen you coming this way. In his stance, I apologize. Please let this slide." He said and Liu Si Si just stared at Kuang Tianshi to say.

"Isn't that exactly what I am saying? Your boss is blind and as a plus point to it, he is also deaf. You better take an appointment from a good specialist and get him checked soon before his situation worsens." She said and her words further irked the man.

"You …" He was ready to argue but right at that time another voice interrupted from a close distance making him pause in his words.

"Si Si, what happened? Is everything fine?" When for a good moment of time Yun Meiyi didn't find Liu Si Si coming, she looked around only to find her standing at a distance and talking to some man. At first, she felt that it was an easy conversation but when she saw the tension between them, she could tell that something was wrong. So, she didn't stay idle for long and came to the aid of her friend.

Looking at Kuang Tianshi, her expression turned sharper as she continued to say, "You took a while to come back, so I came to look for you." Her words came out to let the people know that Liu Si Si was not alone, rather had someone protecting her.

Kuang Tianshi was quite entertained by her words. His lips curled up playfully when he looked at the woman. But before he could even get time to introduce himself or say anything, the corner of his eyes saw the woman turning into a cat before leaping into the arms of Yun Meiyi.

"Yi Yi, this man here was harassing me. He almost pulled up his leg to kick me. Luckily my reflexes are good and I was able to dodge it." Liu Si Si spoke none less than a kid complaining to his mother about the bully in the school.

Her act like that almost made two people's jaws drop. Both Kuang Tianshi and his secretary. It was just a moment ago that the woman was challenging and matching his intimidating aura, and now in the next second, she looked all timid like a scared kitten? Could there be someone who could change like that in a blink of an eye?

Kuang Tianshi has never seen one in the centuries. Realizing the trick the woman was pulling, he was ready to explain but something changed Yun Meiyi that made him hold his words back.

Her expression turned cold, almost making the air harder to breathe. Xue Wei felt the change and wasn't able to speak anything. Even Kuang Tianshi was taken aback. If told at the moment, he wouldn't believe that a normal human woman would have the ability to hold such an air of intimidation.

But here he was witnessing it with all his senses. How could he not believe it? Now he understood what he meant when he said that she was not some pet that was required to be looked after.

Seeing Yun Meiyi's eyes turning threateningly cold, it became tough for him to stay silent for long. So, he quickly tried to explain. "Miss, don't believe her words. She is portraying the situation wrongly. I meant no harm. It was just that I failed to notice her while …"

"So you are accepting that you are blind?" Liu Si Si was quick to interrupt, not missing the chance to make the man accept his mistake.

But Kuan Tianshi was also not a weak personality. Glaring at Liu Si Si with a smile, he continued to add without giving in to her set trap. "… while she failed to choose the right direction to walk."

He said, and Liu Si Si pouted. "You …"

Yun Meiyi pressed Si Si's hand, indicating her to stop while she turned to look at the man to say, "My friend isn't portraying the situation wrongly, mister. It's just there is a variation in perceptions. And it's very common. Since you accepted your mistake of not noticing her, the next time, I request you to keep your eyes open. So that the same thing doesn't get repeated with someone else."

"As for today, I would ask my friend to not hold a grudge. Please enjoy the rest of your evening." She said before turning to leave, without giving any chance to the man to speak.

Xu Wei was startled by her way of dealing. He looked at Kuang Tianshi, who looked equally dumbfounded at the turn of the situation. Then turning he left, following the two women back to the table.

Behind, Kuang Tianshi stared at the back of Yun Meiyi and Li Si Si leaving. It took a while to understand what the woman had actually said. Not because her words were tough to understand but because he never thought that she would push all blame on him so easily.

"Wu Sheng, did she really say that I was one solely responsible for everything?"

"President Kuang, that …" Before the secretary could even say anything, from the front Liu Si Si turned back to look at Kuang Tianshi, sticking her tongue out in tease.
