Chapitre 115: 1.3.37: Silence is the Key
Xiao Yunhua was shocked to find him not wearing a shirt, his fit physique on display. Immediately, her face felt like it was on fire and she looked away. The night she wanted to forget appeared in her mind before she brushed it off and cleared her throat.
Zhou Ming was clearly amused with her reactions but crossed his arms, "I was just going to take a shower but you stopped me. What do you want?" It was like he completely forgot that he snapped at her beforehand. If he was going to act like it was nothing, Xiao Yunhua didn't want to drag it out either. Yes she was hurt, but she was in no position to feel the hurt.
"I..." her throat felt dry suddenly when she tried to bring up the topic. "I was wondering, will I go to jail?" She sounded so weak and just timid.
A brief silence followed her words. In the time that Zhou Ming had known her, he had never seen her so helpless. He didn't know she had her own method of saving herself and assumed that she was completely defenseless. He raised his hand to pat her head, but stopped himself. "You'll be fine. I have my own method of saving you. You just have to go and be silent."
Silence? That was what was going to save her? Silence was the key to her safety? She chuckled bitterly, "You know, if you don't want to help me, you don't have to do make up silly excuses like this." She turned around to walk away but he caught her hand. His whirlpools of black met with her honey-colored eyes. His stare intimidated her, but she didn't look away.
Slowly, he lowered his head and captured her lips with his. She was surprised and tried to resist, but he persistently continued to kiss her. What felt like eternity, he finally raised his head and looked at her flushed face and swollen lips.
"What are you..." Her question faltered and he answered it by repeating what he had told her earlier.
She clenched her firsts and slowly nodded. She had to take his word for it, otherwise, her mission in this world would be over. Whatever small sliver of trust she had in him, this was the time to believe in it.
When Xiao Yunhua left, Zhou Ming dialed a number he thought he would never call in his life. When the deep voice answered, Zhou Ming only uttered these words: "A meeting to discuss something we both want."
It didn't take long for the other party to recognize Zhou Ming's voice. He seemed amused when he replied, but Zhou Ming still sensed the anger that was laced underneath it.
"You finally contact me after all my attempts of reaching you. I guess today's events were the last straw." Zhou Ming hated the sarcasm and arrogance of the man talking to him, it reminded him of himself.
Instead of responding to him, Zhou Ming just nonchalantly arranged for a meeting that day. They were going to get something they both wanted; it was a meeting of benefits for each...
