“Hello, sir. Your eyes are still sharper than ever, I see,” Wen He said gleefully in her black suit as she took off her sunglasses. She was surprised for Huo Chen being able to recognize her even under such camouflage. “Great nights don’t always last. So, where shall we go tonight?” She winked at Huo Chen through the rear mirror playfully.
Huo Chen pinched between his brows and took a deep breath, “Stop and get out of my car.”
Well, Huo Chen was no longer in that position to command somebody.
“Aw, sir. You were this pushy last time too. The good old days. Never once I thought you would end up in a soon-to-be bankrupt dumpster company like this. I feel the agony in you,” she replied, biting her lip, disbelieving that Huo Chen actually quit his military career just to stay in such a broken company.
Like seriously, when were you decommissioned? And why are you here in this crackpot company? Your position now isn’t helpful to my plan!
She sighed, “I suggest you go back and be that prospective general like you were in the past. Your nature isn’t meant to be contained in a concrete building like this. I’m serious!”
If I wasn’t a wanted criminal by the forces, I would really drive him back to the military right now!
Time seemed to have frozen the moment she felt something thrusting the back of her head—a muzzle, particularly.
“Hey, hey, big man. Calm down. Okay?” Her hands quivered.
“Stop the car.”
“Alright, alright.” She gulped and slowed down.
Jesus Christ, Huo Chen is still harsh towards women!
The car slowed down and eventually stopped under a huge tree where flocks of pedestrians passed by. It was a safe spot to halt as Huo Chen would not want to cause a commotion by executing her.
“Get out now.” He would not let Wen He go that easily if he was still in his uniform.
Wen He unfastened her seatbelt and turned slightly to feel the pistol on her neck.
“Oh, sir, aren’t we good old buddies? Do you have to be this worked up?” As she uttered her words, she made a quick turn at her wrist to wrap upon Huo Chen’s, pulled his arm to her and made a deep bite.
“Yeouch!” She snatched the gun away.
Okay, threat eliminated. All clear.
Wen He wiped her lips and confiscated the gun. She gave a friendly smile, “Really, calm down. I just want to treat you dinner tonight.” She fastened her seatbelt and ran the car down the road again.
Huo Chen, rubbing his aching arm, sat back cooperatively. Never once he expected Wen He to actually launch her fangs at him.
“Wen He, are you here for revenge? You don’t have to put up a show like this to kill me.”
She shook her head, “Don’t mistake it. I wouldn’t dare to even take out my gun. Nobody will cover for me if I killed you.”
“…”
I have no idea what this woman wants from me. Ugh, I’ll just keep quiet for the moment. If anything goes wrong, I’ll knock her out and send her to the police.
He was then brought to a rather exquisite-looking hotel. In bewilderment, Huo Chen exited the car and was going to flee yet Wen He seized his arm endearingly like a lover. “How sweet!” One of the strangers muttered by the road, when in reality Wen He was hauling the man into the restaurant.
They were then led to a spacious room carpeted in pink with a long rectangular table where they sat at each shorter end like a formal course. A pot of roses was placed at the center along with a row of lighted candles and courses. Everything felt uneasy under the flickering flame of candles.
Huo Chen hardly moved his fork, his eyes fixed upon her, “If you think seduction will work on me, you’re wasting your time. Don’t even think about it.”
“H-E-L-L-O, do you think I arranged these just to seduce you?”
For Pete’s sake, I just want a private room for the both of us. Nobody asked the receptionist to get us candles and roses!
For Lu Bai, Ol’ Jiu as well as my own future, I already planned to offer myself to get the deal done. And at this very crucial moment, you decided to leave the military. What now?
