Chapter 23: Get Lost...!
Both guys turn to look at Ai Mi walking towards them slower than expected.
"What are you doing here?"
"What else will I be doing here? I came to see you, Love"
Ai Mi gave him a small smile as she stood in front of Haoran who is frozen, wondering how she came and where she came from.
"Came to see me? Well, I must decline."
"Why?"
"Because you didn't really come to see me. You came to see him" Ai Mi says, pointing at Haoran with her jaw.
The guy stares at Ai Mi and she does the same for a short while before Ai Mi says "Leave"
"Not until I tell you what I came for"
Haoran stares at the guy and then at Ai Mi, a bit confused. Is all this about him and must he withness it?
"Haoran, you can leave now"
"What? I need him to-" Ai Mi looks up at the guy, shutting him up with her eyes.
Haoran looks at Ai Mi who diverts her gaze to him and then to the guy again.
This woman owes me an explanation.
Haoran slowly lifts his leg, hoping for Ai Mi to call him back, he takes three slow steps before finally walking the way normal people do, to his apartment.
When Ai Mi knew he had reached his apartment, she turns back to the guy with a sneering face on.
"Why are you here? And why do you have to talk like some blabbermouth?"
He doesn't say a word. Instead, he smiles charmingly. "Isn't that a little rude, sister?"
Ai Mi scoffs "I thought you were my boyfriend" Ai Mi passes him to her apartment with the guy following closely behind.
"You know you are not supposed to hang out with the Master" Ai Mi drops her purse on the beautiful couch in the seating room and head for the kitchen to get a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
"Really? Is that so?" She asked opening the cap of the bottle and gulping it down until only a few drops of water remained in the bottle.
"Last time I checked, a criminal as my big brother never cared about me or who I relate with" she says, tossing the bottle into the trash can.
The guy follows the movement of Ai Mi with his eyes. She has grown so much.
"Ai Mi..."
"What?! What is it, Haozi?!"
Ai Mi and her big brother, Haozi stares at each other. Ai Mi hot tempered, and Haozi staring at her calmly.
Ai Mi breathes in deeply, trying to calm herself down.
"You and dad are the same. Just go, I have nothing to say to you"
She picks up a bowl and walks towards the desk where her pots of cooked food rested.
She opens a pot and picks a long spoon and fetched three spoonful of soup into the bowl.
"What about me?"
"Get Lost. No one remembered me when they were taking four bowls of soup"
Haozi stares at Ai Mi before closing his eyes and letting out a sigh of distress.
Dealing with Ai Mi is a stressful thing, totally depressing.
Just as she raises the soup to her lips, the door to her apartment splits open, and Munchen walks in, his hands in the pockets of his trousers.
"Ahh... Who's taking soup?"
Ai Mi makes sure the last drop of soup passed through her throat before she banged the bowl on the table and turn to Munchen.
She didn't miss the hideous eyes Haozi passed to Munchen, glaring at him like he is a murderer.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh! Little bro is here!" Munchen walks to Haozi and traps his neck with his arm.
"Get off me!" Haozi struggles but with no victory.
"Leave him alone" Ai Mi says.
Munchen obeys, giving Haozi a light slap on his back.
"Are you guys now working together? Dad influenced you to work for Munchen and you are?"
"I will never work for Munchen!" Haozi hushes
"Too bad I don't believe you" Ai Mi says casually walking towards Munchen in a rather tardy manner.
"Leave my home, Munchen"
"Aw... Sweetheart, why? You don't wanna hear what I came for?"
"I bet the reason is as stupid as you, so leave. Stupidity can be contagious" Munchen and Haozi stares at the calm Ai Mi who attempts pass by them innocently.
But he doesn't allow her.
He grabs her hand with so much force, intending to pin her to the wall.
But seeing the way she stopped walking made him cringe.
The first posture she had when they first met...
She was barefooted that day. Her long hair was down to her waist level, one of her feet was on the ground, while the other was about to raised.
It looked more like a model's statue.
Her beautiful white feet made an impression indeed.
And here she is. That same beautiful posture of hers...
Ai Mi turns to him quietly.
"If you don't hand over the company, Haoran will be in danger"
Ai Mi says nothing, but just stares. So Munchen continues.
"You know what Xiao said when she met you. You should hand over the company when you have seen the Master. Don't do your own thing, Ai Mi"
He lets go of her wrist abruptly and walks pass her.
"There are two things Mr Bao told me before we departed"
Both Haozi and Munchen ears stood erect hearing 'Mr Bao'. What parable does she want to bring up again?
"Do things for the benefit of the people, be selfless and it will come back to you" Ai Mi stood there, staring out of the kitchen window.
She then diverts her eyes to look at Munchen as she speaks.
"And when someone has been forgiven, you have the right to have Peace of Mind by not relating with that person anymore"
Munchen brows furrows in confusion. Same with Haozi.
"I have forgiven you, Munchen. Allow me to have Peace of mind"
The tension in the air can be smelt even by insects.
An unknown wind of heat swept across Haozi and Munchen, bringing a rainfall of sweat even on their exposed parts.
"Plus, I am selfless. That's why I won't hand that company over to anyone"
It may take Haozi and Munchen eternity to figure out the full meaning of her wise speech.
But Munchen seem to have a clue.
"Leave my apartment. Both of you"
***
So... I know her?
Haoran pours some tea into a mug as he continues to think widely about Ai Mi and the guy in her house.
He said he's her ex boyfriend... What will an ex be doing in the house of someone who has moved on? Does this have something to do with the company? Or Zhi Ruo? Or...
Ai Mi wouldn't dare do what I think that guy came to do in her house... Right?
Should I head over?... It'll look a bit too... Cozy, right?
That guy will have a bad idea about what's going on between us.
Wait... What's hot like-
"Ahhh!" Haoran shrieks as hot tea spills on his toe fingers.
"No, no, no, no" he quickly pour a little tea back into the kettle.
Because of a girl, he spilled hot tea on himself! God!
Haoran remains silent as he stares at the tea.
What might they be doing?
....
"Okay, that's it!" He grabs a coat and quickly went outside, heading to Ai Mi's apartment.
A girl that makes him spill tea on himself must be a girl he should definitely keep!
