บท 43: 43 Crazy Night

Ji An froze, 'Why am I like this. What is he doing? Does he still want me in his life? No! He said he's no longer interested.' Her heart thumped hard. She can smell him, his scent made her feel drunk. With her eyes shut, she anticipated Cheng Ze's next move. 'Any moment now I should feel his lips.'

Cheng Ze studied her face, he wanted to kiss those pink lips of her, they are so inviting. 'I have to resist this feeling. I cannot give in. She's married and she will just push me away again. This is driving me crazy, she is driving me crazy!' He stopped and swallowed his lust for those luscious lips and he moved away from her as far as he can and inhaled deeply, "Of course, I know your answer already."

Her lips were screaming for his, she wanted him to kiss her, her thoughts were trying to remember how his kiss felt before but his voice woke Ji An up. She opened her eyes only to find Cheng Ze was back near the window. 'What is he doing? He doesn't want to kiss me? Is he playing, teasing and testing me?' As she was trying to calm herself down, she shut her eyes for a minute. Cheng Ze suddenly appeared in front of her again and found herself leaning against the wall with his hands on her waist and the other is on the back of her neck.

She opened her eyes and found him staring at her, 'I'm losing it. What is wrong with me? I'm not normal when she's around me!' He was actually trying to fight the urge to kiss her.

"Cheng Ze..." She uttered, "What are you doing?" her chest was throbbing slightly, "Why are you doing this? You said you're engaged?" Her eyes were fixed at his.

They stared at each other's eyes for quite some time and she parted her lips a little. Cheng Ze couldn't take it anymore, he let go of her waist and punched the wall hard making his knuckles bleed then abruptly moved away from her. It didn't scare Ji An at all but it woke her up, her lustful thoughts suddenly crumbled.

"Are you staying at our house?" Without looking at her, he spoke as if he was angry.

"Yes! But if you want me to move—"

"I no longer live there. I think there is nothing to talk about. I'll take you home." His behaviour towards her has gone cold.

With her low and meek voice, she replied, "Okay. But your hand, it's... bleeding." However, her thoughts were confused, 'How can he do this to me?'

Cheng Ze completely ignored her and pulled the door open, Ji An followed him all the way to his car.

"Maybe it would be better if we don't see each other. Anyway, you'll be here for a week, right?" He spoke as if he doesn't care about what she will do in the future.

"No. I'm actually here for as long as I want to be here!"

'Is she planning to torture me mentally?' Cheng Ze swallowed his saliva. "Are you not going back with your husband?"

"He is not my husband! Can you please refrain yourself for calling him "My husband?" I divorced him a few years back." she turned her head and looked outside.

"You are divorced?" He was shocked to hear that but happy at the same time, "Why?"

"Hmm... let's leave it like that. Besides, you said it's better to avoid each other. So it's pointless." She closed her eyes, "I'm tired, wake me up when we arrive home."

As he felt happy hearing the information from her, he drove straight to his villa without realising it. Ji An awoke as soon as the car stopped.

Ji An was startled to see that they are on his villa. "Why are we here? What are you planning?"

Cheng Ze was also surprised, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take you here. I just got used to driving here from the office. I'm tired now and I can't drive you home, how about I drive you home in the morning before I go to work?"

"...." 'Is he expecting me to believe that? After making me feel—' she took a deep breath, 'He will drop me in cold water and now I'm here? No way!' "I'm not getting out of this car!" She declared.

"Don't be so stubborn, you are no longer a kid. But if you insist on staying there, well, it's up to you. Don't come running inside when you see something in the yard coz I'm not opening the door for you." He smirked and left heading to the door.

"Wait! Okay okay, I'm coming in." Immediately she hopped out of the car and run to him.

Though he knew she gets easily scared with words like that, he didn't expect that it will work because that was when she was young. 'So she 's still scared of ghost huh' he smiled 'So cute.'

As they got inside Cheng Ze went straight to his room to get changed. Ji An was left wondering where she's gonna park herself when Cheng Ze came out and shouted at her. "Aren't you coming up?"

"I'm okay down here. I'll sleep here on the couch. Can I just have a blanket?" She replied.

"Don't make me come down and get you." He teased her.
