FEI LONG SLOWLY TURNED AROUND with his lips pale, and his heart beating so hard. Half of it from fear, while the other was of excitement. Why?
Whenever Feng Mian intended to punish him, it was his lower half that would enjoy or suffer, whichever the case, he would be smothered with harsh love. Still, he did not like seeing her upset, so he stepped on the sexy woman's foot without even looking down.
He stepped on her with all his might, his eyes remaining on Feng Mian's beautiful face. Who can turn away from such an attractive person? He knew he cannot.
The sexy woman shrieked so hard, others might have thought her vocal cord snapped. Her foot was aching so bad, and a toe might be bleeding too.
With her scrunched up face, she looked up at Fei Long who wasn't even looking at her, nor the foot he just almost disabled. She was slightly hurt, but she needed to get a handsome man like him to love.
She had just broken up with her 7 years old relationship. Her boyfriend had told her that her younger sister was much better. So she had tried to dressed herself up today to hook up with a man and ask him to pretend as her boyfriend to make him jealous.
Who would have known that he'd be so hard to reel in. Not only that but violent to women as well!
She was about to complain when a punch to the face slammed the side of her face, throwing her off a few feet away from him. As she was blown away, she had fallen onto the marbled floor and rolled thrice before finally stopping with her face smooching the cold hard surface.
While she was thinking of more schemes to get him, a pair of shiny shoes stopped just before her line of sight. A lazy voice can then be heard, able to lure everyone's attention.
"What business did you have with that man?"
The woman's eyes brightened with hope as she spun her face upwards to look at the owner of such husky... v.. oice.. A mesmerizing beauty! Was what she thought instantly.
She tried hard to recover herself and hurriedly said, "I-I need a man to pretend to be my boyfriend... Can you help me?"
How can she miss this chance when another had come! Even when half of her face was swollen and blue, she flashed Feng Mian with a smile she thought was alluring enough.
Feng Mian did not mind. "Okay."
Fei Long's breathing hitched and immediately grabbed Feng Mian's hand that was tucked away inside her pants pocket. He laced his fingers with her's and planted his thin lips onto the corner of her lips.
When the sexy woman saw this delicious scene of two men acting intimate, she was immediately conflicted! But she had Feng Mian agree to her request!
All around, some of the crowd shook their head in sympathy. How can anyone not recognize the Emperor and the Empress? Even asking each one of them to be her date? Was she tired of living??
Of course, nobody wanted to interfere. After all, life was boring and they wanted to see some drama from time to time. It was unfortunate for the sexy woman to be the leading actress of the day.
"Where to?" Feng Mian curtly asked after kissing Fei Long back.
The sexy woman decided that beggars couldn't be choosers, and so she led Feng Mian and Fei Long inside a nearby cafe to meet with her ex-boyfriend and younger sister. It just so happened to be Buna Kafe.
Fei Long was like a chick to Feng Mian, sticking so close and always looking to her face, as if there was something on her face. She did not mind, the man was just anxious since she had not said anything to him after being caught.
She wasn't very nice as to say anything else now, but she gripped their intertwined hands anyway.
When she did this little action, Fei Long relaxed and could finally see in front of him. But he did not let go, his hand was still with Feng Mian's hand, inside her pocket. He had to bend his back a little because Feng Mian was a little shorter than him.
Even when they were sat at the table, their hands were still connected. The sexy woman kept staring at them and their intimacy. Did she just stumbled upon what many people consider the taboo relationship??
For inexplicable reason, her heart drummed with anticipation.
"H-hey, my name is Sonia. Thank you for helping me out today." She introduced herself, tucking some strands of hair behind her ear.
"It's fine. So what do we do?" Feng Mian went straight to the point.
"I-I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend... My ex of 7 years is coming with my younger sister.. and... I.." She was speaking smoothly at first, as if she wasn't troubled about her 7 years old relationship, but she cracked up eventually.
Stolen story; please report.
After all, 7 years was too long and only to be exchanged with her own younger sister. She was much too heartbroken, a line of tear escape her limpid eyes.
"Okay. So you need two boyfriends or one? We can share you for today." Feng Mian smoothly said, as if experienced with picking up girls.
Fei Long wasn't very happy but he kept himself quiet.
Sonia smiled in agreement, bobbing her head at the same time. "That would be nice. I work as an artist, oil painter to be exact.. And I'm an Arts Graduate, 22 years old."
"Feng Mian Zhao, 20 years old. Masters in Business Intelligence and Analytics."
Sonia's eyes bugled. What was Business Intelligence and Analytics supposed to mean? She supposed it just had something to do with corporations, so she didn't ask further.
"Fei Long Liu, 25 years old. Master of Business Administration."
This time, Sonia dutifully nodded her head, as if she understood Feng Mian and Fei Long's titles. She was an Arts Graduate, her interest lied elsewhere.
It did not take long for her ex-boyfriend and her younger sister to come in Buna Kafe hand-in-hand. They looked like a pair of sweet doves.
Sonia felt her heart rage at the sight, but she revealed a smile so pretty, one might think she was receiving her Christmas present early.
"Hey." The ex-boyfriend awkwardly greeted.
"Good afternoon, older sister..." Sonia's younger sister gently greeted, her eyes immediately sparkled at the sight of both Feng Mian and Fei Long, more specifically on Feng Mian.
Fei Long was dazzling too, but Feng Mian's frost-cold eyes were preferable to her than electric blue. Don't ask her why.
So as they finally took their seat, her eyes would wander from the table to Feng Mian. Her actions were immediately noticed by Fei Long, because how could he not?
"I really am sorry for breaking up with you Sonia. I just like your sister more. No offence, but you are not really getting anywhere and that makes me really worried. I just can't think about us in 5 years time." In one breathe, the ex-boyfriend said in his hypocritical apologetic voice.
Feng Mian deemed the man's self-esteem must have shot high from having two women fall on his hands. However, she merely glanced at Sonia, whose eyes masked so much hurt, but smiling anyway.
All the while, Fei Long's eyes flickered between Feng Mian's face to the sneaky younger sister of Sonia. His heart sharpening all sorts of knives.
In her most confident tone, Sonia replied, "It's okay. I already found someone to love. Actually, I am dating these two gentlemen right now. We all met by chance three months ago and just sort of clicked!"
She explained their meeting like it really happened. But nobody knew of her curled up fists that were growing white and cold as she restrained the wrath and jealousy in her heart.
And although she mentioned having two lovers at once, the ex-boyfriend could care less.
Feng Mian dutifully nodded her head. "Nice to meet you. Sonia's a really good woman, so I must thank you for breaking up with her and choosing someone just as deserving as you. After all, lowlives can only be attracted to their own kind. When is your wedding?" She smoothly said, not bothering how ugly the ex-boyfriend's face changed.
"Ha.. Ha..! That's very good! I was worried how Sonia was gonna take our 7 years old relationship, but since you took her after me, then I must congratulate you as well! Sonia's a really good painter too. She used to paint me a lot, in public and in private." His pride as a man was hurt, so he chose to intimidate Feng Mian after what she had said. He also deliberately ignored the last question.
Instead of what he expected, he only saw Feng Mian smirk and for a moment, he thought of a devil, his breathe hitched for the briefest moment.
"That's right. Her paintings are beautiful that I was willing to pay her $1 million dollars for one. She kindly refused of course, but what to do, her hands are just like god's blessing I'm willing to keep her by my side. After all, a treasure must not be lost, even once."
The ex-boyfriend's face paled. Was Sonia that skillful? $1 million dollars was not a small sum!! He looked down at his current girlfriend who was currently working as a manager to a certain restaurant, feeling a little sense of lost.
Then he turned to Sonia and finally noticed the bruise on her face. "What happened to you?! You have a big bruise. Who was the dumbass that did this?! Tell me and I'll make him suffer through hell!" He angrily exclaimed, as if Sonia was someone he cherished the most.
His girlfriend who should be feeling sad over his overreaction was not even looking at him, but was now staring intently at Feng Mian. She had heard very carefully what Feng Mian had just said. She had money! Handsome and rich, thinking of these, she was about to lose her soul. She must get acquainted with the man right after!
Fei Long could totally read her mind, and had also planned a devious way to make her life a living hell for even dreaming about his Feng Mian. Although he had full trust that Feng Mian will never look at another person aside from him, he still did not like people who only saw her external factors and love her from there. That was not giving respect to his Feng Mian!
Feng Mian was almost laughing at the idiot of an ex-boyfriend. Looking for the person who punched her? He was sitting at the same table!
But contrary to her devious thoughts, she calmly said, "She was waiting for us around here when there was a conflict between a couple who was breaking up. The guy couldn't handle it and intended to punch the girl, but Sonia kindly and selflessly interfered. We came too late."
Sonia was almost gaping from the lies Feng Mian was spouting, her eyes briefly flickered to Fei Long, only to find him glaring at her younger sister. She turned to look at her younger sister and found her heart-shaped eyes throwing love hearts at Feng Mian who didn't seem to notice at all.
"Sanya?" She called.
"Oh yes, older sister? You called?" Sanya batted her limpid eyes, her voice gentle like water. She really tried her best to appear like an angel.
Unfortunate for her, both Feng Mian and Fei Long had already enough of green teas.
"How are you and your job at Maja Restaurant?" Sonia asked, trying to avoid her ex-boyfriends hands that wanted to touch her face. Her bruise hurt so much, why touch?!
[Maja Restaurant was also one of Feng Mian's establishments.]
Sanya's smile widened, revealing a toothy mouth. "I'm doing wonderful and work has been kind to me! Thank you for asking, sister." She paused, her eyes quickly glanced at Feng Mian who was busy staring at the bacteria in her water, and asked, "C-can you introduce us to these fine gentlemen, sister?"
Fei Long wanted to flip the table but he wanted to see how far along the bitch was gonna carry her act. While Caesar, the sala-- ex-boyfriend, was finally back to staring at the supposed 'new' lovers of Sonia.
"That's right. If you can bring up $1 million, you must be working in a very good job." His mind was still on the money, and the regret of breaking up with Sonia.
Sonia didn't really know what to say. After all, she was only told of their University achievements. What was she supposed to tell?
It was then that Feng Mian handed two business cards.
When Caesar and Sanya looked down, their jaws almost slammed on the floor. Sonia really had no idea why her ex-boyfriend's and younger sister's eyes were about to roll on the floor. But she deduced, Feng Mian and Fei Long were definitely no ordinary people.
