C47. How Dare You?

In his coma he has a dream where Yu Fei tugs his sleeve to beg him not to leave. Her tearful face distresses him.

For several times Ko Chen tries to speak out his sorrowful secrets, but his words have changed when said. He hears his cold words, “Do you think I would believe a woman who sold her body for money?”

Yu Fei’s countenance has changed before his sentence is finished. When it is finished, her face has turned bloodless and her lips are trembling uncontrollably. She looks so miserable that one feels an impulse to hold her in arms.

The moment he stretches out his hand, his dream changes into another scene where Yu Fei lies in front of him with her eyes closed. There is plenty of blood under her body and its smell in the air, which makes him feel sick.

In panic he wants to check Yu Fei’s body, but no matter how hard he runs, the distance between them doesn’t change and he can never touch her.

“Fei!” He growls in grief and the sound echoes in his dream. He abruptly opens his eyes in the next second, staring at the ceiling with sweat on his forehead.

The bed lamp emits a warm yellow light. Ko Chen sits up from the bed to open the drawer of the night table, and takes a photo in which her smile is so beautiful that he can’t look away.

“Fei, Fei...” Stroking the album, Ko Chen murmurs Yu Fei’s name, and each of his call is full of affection, “What can I do to you?”

All photos of Yu Fei are found out by Ko Chen who spends a sleepless night examining them carefully. He is so preoccupied with them that he doesn’t realize it is already dawn.

Anyway, a new day comes. Ko Chen isn’t able to vent his feelings even in his dream, let alone in reality.

After he collects the photos, the ruthless and omnipotent boss of Ko Company comes back again.

Yu Yu goes to work with Ko Chen every morning. Today she gets up late and doesn’t have time to have breakfast. She gets on the car hurriedly. The moment she sits down she sensitively observes his mood that seems to be different from the usual one, so she shoots a glance at him on the sly, only to find him reading economic morning news with a poker face which seems to be the same.

But the sense of gloom in the car cannot be ignored.

It spreads to Ko Company. All staff are trembling with fear in the morning. The boss demands heads of several departments to state their work plans and he rains down curses on their heads with no exception.

Yu Yu is scared by his roars from time to time outside his office. She has never seen him in such a rage that she feels the whole building seems to be shaking.

Yu Fei comes just at this time. At first Yu Yu is surprised to see her, but when thinking about bad-tampered Ko Chen today, she can’t help tittering.

Yu Fei, you’re so unfortunate to pick a bad day this time .

When she is pleased with her thoughts, Yu Fei rushes to her and gives her a slap without a word.

She is stunned to be knocked down, and a red palm print immediately appears on her left cheek.

Yu Fei claps her hands like dusting them, as if she is not the one who has slapped Yu Yu.

With her face covered, Yu Yu stares at her with hostility, which squeezes her delicate facial features. She can’t believe it and screams, “How dare you?”

“Yes, I slap you. So what?” Yu Fei answers calmly with no emotion.

She would never slap Yu Yu in the past. Although Yu Yu is her step-mother’s child, Yu Fei thought Wang Feng treated her well. So Yu Fei treated her sister with sincerity, too, otherwise Yu Yu’s abortion event would never have happened three years ago.

But now she realizes that her sister seems to be unworthy of her kindness.

After the slap, much of Yu Fei’s anger accumulated in her immediately disappears. Taking a deep breath and tidying her clothes, she heads for Ko Chen’s office past Yu Yu.

At this time, her arm is dragged by Yu Yu. Yu Fei turns her head and Yu Fei asks her silently, “what else?”

It’s an utter provocation. Yu Yu is infuriated by Yu Fei’s expression and grasps her arm with more strength. Yu Fei frowns and struggles to get her arm free.

But Yu Yu doesn’t give her the chance. She doesn’t care about their sisterhood or her face at all. She stares at Yu Fei with hostility, “You slapped me and want to go? Go to hell!”

Then Yu Yu raises her hand high. Before Yu Fei reacts, her hand falls quickly.

It’s an equally clear slap.

But what’s the difference is that it is heard by Ko Chen who just opens the door to go out. He looks at the two women in front of him gloomily, and his sight is attracted by the palm print on Yu Fei’s cheek.

“What are you doing?” He roars at Yu Yu and strides to them. Yu Yu’s hand is dragged away relentlessly. Then he holds Yu Fei in arms with care, checking her face tenderly, and gently asks her whether it hurts.

Yu Fei is stunned. She can’t believe that Ko Chen cares about her with such gentleness.

Seeing Yu Fei doesn’t answer, Ko Chen thinks it is because Yu Yu slaps her too hard and he feels more raged. He doesn’t hesitate to go straight to Yu Yu and slaps her hard.

A woman is less stronger than a man, and Yu Yu is slapped so hard that she staggers back, almost falling on the ground.

“How dare you?”

Yu Yu covers her swollen face with her hands, tearfully. She looks at Ko Chen innocently, and then Yu Fei behind him. She doesn’t make sense why Ko Chen’s attitude changes towards Yu Fei. He not only speaks for Yu Fei, but also slaps her for Yu Fei.

Yu Fei is pretty angry and all of her anger is vented on Yu Fei. With hatred she stares at Yu Fei and runs away.

Yu Fei is scared by Yu Yu’s expression. But she doesn’t have time to think about it, because her whole being is attached to Ko Chen.

It’s not a dream? Pinching her arm, Yu Fei is pained and now she is sure that it’s not a dream. Both of Ko Chen’s fierceness and gentleness are true.
