Chapter 251 - Is She Really In Pains Or Just Pretending?
Chapter 251 - Is She Really In Pains Or Just Pretending?
"A steamy and pleasurable night is what I promised and that is what I will give you," Shui Shui said, pulling him closer, she kissed passionately afterwards. While kissing they slowly pulled off each others' clothes.
Back in Yang Zi's dressing room, she walked around the room searching for the perfect shirt that will complement the black trouser in her hands. She thought of choosing a gown instead but she instantly dropped that idea when she recalled the unforeseen battle ahead.
??"For tonight, I have to wear a trouser in case I have to throw a few kicks. I can't fight with ease if I am wearing a dress or skirt," Yang Zi mumbled, staring at the black shiny trouser she recently bought hoping to wear it to the club with Yifeng.
Within ten minutes, she freshened up and dressed up.
"I look chic and just perfect for tonight's outing," Yang Zi remarked, admiring herself in the huge dressing mirror. Her black shiny cropped top long sleeve jacket exposing her flat tummy complimented her shiny trouser perfectly. With her light makeup and jewellery on, she looked so charming.
She carried her shiny golden pouch and left her apartment. Since she was sure that she was gonna drink, she called a taxi instead of driving there.
Inside the rowdy club, Yang Zi slowly found her way to the table Zhao Liying booked with the help of a club hostess.
"Hi, you are here," Zhao Liying greeted, beaming the moment she sighted Yang Zi.
"Didn't you want me to come or don't tell me all those heartfelt words you sent to me were just an act of pretence?" Yang Zi asked, faking a smile at her. She didn't wait for her to reply before she sat down facing her.
"I meant everything I wrote in the text message. I know you might think that this is another one of my trap, but I am sorry to disappoint you, I mean every word I said. I sincerely want to apologise for all the wrongs I have committed against you, that is why I told you to meet me here," Zhao Liying said, her expression looking so sincere.
"Really?" Yang Zi asked with an indifferent expression. She did not believe a word that proceeded out of the mouth of the lady that had done nothing but caused her and Yifeng problems for the past two months.
"I admit I should not have taken out my anger on you when Feng was the one who did the wrong thing. I should have taken out my piled up anger on him alone for falling in love with another lady when he has such a beautiful fiancee," Zhao Liying said. Yang Zi could feel a hint of pain in her voice as she spoke.
"I just love him too much, that is why I couldn't accept the fact that I mean nothing to him again," Zhao Liying said, tears streaming down her face.
Is this all just an act or is she really crying because she is in pain?
Yang Zi thought, feeling slightly confused.
"I know you loved Feng way before I came into his life. I know it's quite painful to know that the person you love so deeply does not love you, but you don't have to destroy your life because of your love for him, right?" Yang Zi calmly asked, her gaze glued on the lady to see how she will react to her words.
"Yeah. You are right, he is not worth ruining my life for," Zhao Liying said, smiling painfully. Yang Zi was surprised to hear her agree to her words. This is the first time they have ever agreed on the same thing. She should feel pleased about this, but for some unknown reason, she didn't feel happy.
They both stayed silent for about two minutes.
"I am sorry for ruining your mood. Why don't we drink as we talk?" Zhao Liying suggested, staring at Yang Zi anxiously for her reply.
"Are you afraid that I might have poisoned the wine?" Zhao Liying asked when she saw the hesitant look on Yang Zi's face.
"It's understandable that you doubt me after everything I did to you, but today I really want us to settle our differences. I don't want us to keep on fighting when we work in the same office. I don't want our fight to hinder our work," Zhao Liying said meekly.
"I asked you to drink with me now because I know that drinking a bit of alcohol will elevate the excruciating pain I am feeling today. I just wish you will not deny me this first wish of mine," Zhao Liying said, forcing a smile on.
Yang Zi stared at the sad lady with keen interest. She found it hard that a lady who loathed her so much changed overnight. After about three minutes of contemplation, she decided to drink with her.
"What is the harm in drinking with you when you are asking me so sincerely?" Yang Zi said, forcing on a smile.
"Let's drink as we talk," Yang Zi said firmly.
She agreed! I didn't know she was this gullible.
Zhao Liying said, smiling inwardly.
Zhao Liying opened a glass of wine and passed the bottle of wine to Yang Zi while she carried another bottle and poured the content in her wineglass. She drank the entire content in the glass in one gulp.
"Yang Zi, I apologise for all the troubles I, my friends and family members may have caused you," Zhao Liying said, sounding so sincere.
"I am sorry for letting my love cloud my vision. I am sorry for venting out my anger on you; I am deeply sorry for everything. I hope you can find a place in your heart to forgive me," Zhao Liying said, sounding miserable as she gulped down yet another glass of wine.
"Zhao Liying, drinking the wine so hurriedly will harm your health. Drink it gently and you don't have to keep on apologising to me again. Although I haven't forgiven you, seeing how sincere you are in your apologies, I will no longer blame you for all you did. I will just consider all you did as the trials I had to overcome by choosing to be with Feng," Yang Zi said, smiling at her.
"I see why Feng fell in love with you after knowing you for just a few months when he has known me for half of his life. We are so different from each other," Zhao Liying said, momentarily focusing her gaze on Yang Zi. Yang Zi did not utter any words to her after hearing her utterances that were supposed to be a compliment.
Two hours later Yang Zi, who looked slightly tipsy, glanced at her wristwatch. She carried her handbag, which was on the couch afterwards.
"Zhao Liying, I would have loved to chat and drink with you some more, but I can't. I need to be at the office early and it is late already so I will take my leave now," Yang Zi said, standing up from the black couch.
"You want to go now?" Zhao Liying asked, standing up from her seat too.
"Hmmm...," Yang Zi trailed.
"How about I have my driver drop you off? He is waiting outside for my orders," Zhao Liying said, looking uneasy. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, Yang Zi could still see how anxious she looked.
"Don't worry about that, my driver is waiting for me outside. I have to go now," Yang Zi said, walking away before Zhao Liying could stop her. When the annoyed Zhao Liying turned around to persuade her into dropping her off at home, she was speechless when she realised that Yang Zi was not there.
"Where the hell did she run off to?" Zhao Liying asked, running her fingers through her hair as she tried to look for Yang Zi. With how rowdy the club was, her search for Yang Zi did not yield excellent results.
After her fruitless search, Zhao Liying went back to her table. Her expression looked murderous.
"Damn that b*tch!" Zhao Liying cursed furiously, as she let her eyes roam around the crowd one more time.
"Did you see her?" Zhao Liying asked the tall, handsome guy wearing a black suit who just surfaced from the crowd.
"I didn't see where she ran off to. Even our men waiting outside did not get a glimpse of her. I believed she must have used the back exit," the guy said, sitting down beside her.
"Zihua, why are you so useless? I thought you said you were certain that this plan would work, but how come she didn't get so horny after drinking the drugged wine?" Zhao Liying asked, throwing a murderous glare at him.
"And how could you be so foolish not to ask your men to watch the back exit in case she used it as her escape route? Why don't you always do anything right?" Zhao Liying shouted angrily, running her fingers through her slightly messy hair once again.
