"We all love in different ways. You can't expect me to fold my hands and watch my man get taken away by some ambitious woman who wants to climb social status. Don't expect me to be a fool like you because I will never be," Zhao Liying said fiercely, not able to mask her dislike towards him.
"Zi Er, is trying to climb the social status? You must out of your damn mind to have come up with that silly excuse to comfort your failure!" Shiyi scoffed.
If you know that it is Zi Er's designer clothes that you have always paraded yourself in, you wouldn't be spewing this nonsense you have just uttered from your mouth.
Shiyi thought, staring at Zhao Liying.
"If you say that Zi Er is trying to climb the social status then tell me as the chief's judge daughter, are you as pretty, intelligent, popular and wealthy as her? You should know who is trying to climb the social status without me, voicing it out, right," Shiyi mocked, beaming at her just to piss her off more.
"That Zi Er is working as a secretary, does not mean that she is someone of your social status, so stop comparing yourself to her or you will only end up getting hurt each time you realise that she is better than you," Shiyi said, not giving a damn about her feelings. Just then he turned around and stared outside, he was stunned to see the person whom he was waiting for. He instantly stood up from his seat when he saw the person turned back after seeing him.
"And don't you dare try to blackmail me into pairing up with you, because you will only be doing me a favour if you tell Zi Er about my feelings," Shiyi said, as he turned to leave.
"Luo Shiyi, just know that you are making the greatest mistake of your life by walking out on me. I will make you and her regret ever going against me," Zhao Liying furiously shouted after Shiyi, who was already at the glass door. Shiyi walked out of the restaurant pretending as though he did not hear her last remarks.
"How dare that coward treat me like a crazy person? I was just trying to help his wretched life, and he dared to threaten me?" Zhao Liying said, slamming her hands against the glass table. Her earlier loud words and her actions now garnered the attention of other customers.
"Lets see whether he will still be this confident after I play this to his beloved Yang Zi," Zhao Liying said, grinning wickedly as she played the audio of the conversation she just had with Shiyi.
Meanwhile, Shiyi abandoned his car in the restaurant and ran after the lady he just saw earlier.
"Wen Min, wait up!" Shiyi shouted, as he finally caught her hand after running for two minutes.
"Let go of me," Wen Min said, trying to wriggle her right hand out of his firm grip.
"I won't until you agree to talk to me," Shiyi said firmly, his grip around her hand tightened.
"What the hell do you want from me?" Wen Min asked. She did not have the confidence to stare at his face as she spoke.
"I want you to tell me why you have been avoiding me for the past two months. Since that day you confessed....,"
"Just let me go. I have nothing to say to you," Wen Min said, still struggling with Shiyi.
"If you don't, I do. Just so you know, I won't leave here today until you agree to talk to me. I can't let my effort go futile today again. If you still insist on fighting with me, trust me, I will cause a scene here. I will tell passerby who cares to listen that you refused to take responsibility after molesting me," Shiyi said, unwaveringly. He has set his mind on talking to her. There was no trick she would pull that could work on him.
"You know those words I said are not mere threats, right?" Shiyi asked, his gaze on the unwilling girl.
"You won't dare," Wen Min chided.
"That is where you get me wrong," Shiyi said, as he instantly coughed to clear his throat.
"Hello, everyone. I have a confession to make," Shiyi announced loudly, to the astonishment of Wen Min. For a second she couldn't utter a word to rebuke him.
"Everyone do you know that this beautiful lady beside me took advantage of me when I was drunk....," Wen Min instantly covered his mouth with her left hand. She glared daggers at the audacious Shiyi.
"What do you think you are doing? Are you crazy? Don't you know that our parents will force us to get married if you make up such an outrageous lie?" Wen Min reprimanded fiercely.
"I didn't think that far about my decision. All I know is that, I want to talk to you today. I know I might not get such an opportunity again if I let you walk out on me. We wouldn't be like this if I didn't let you walk out on me in tears that day," Shiyi said soberly.
"I wouldn't have had to call you a million times, send you text messages or drop by every day at places you always visited. You wouldn't be mad at me if I had insisted in dropping you off in the company that day," Shiyi added.
"You said you want to talk, right? Then let's find a place to do that, or you don't expect me to stand in the middle of this crowd you have gathered to listen to you, hmm?" Wen Min asked, signalling him to let go of her hand.
"Promise you won't run off if I release your hand?" Knowing Wen Min's temperament, Shiyi asked in doubts.
"I won't," Wen Min said, seriously. Shiyi let go of her hand after she promised to not to run away. Shiyi followed her as they headed back to the restaurant.
