The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 270 - Late Night Visitor

Why the hell did he even call her? Even if he said that it was because of what she said back then, it didn't mean that he already has the right to step over her private space! 

A loud thunderclap startled Tian Ruyi. She placed a hand on her chest, her heart was pounding hard and loud. "Shit… that scared the shit out of me…" she mumbled.

She should probably go to sleep now. Yup! That was the sign of the universe for her to go to sleep.

Another rumble was heard, making her flinch. Was it going to rain hard? It seemed like it.

Ding! Dong!

"Mommy!" she curled in fright upon hearing the sound of her doorbell. She quickly got off the bed and closed her windows. She also locked the door of her balcony..

Ding! Dong!

Who was ringing the doorbell at this time of the night?

Just then, the first person who entered her mind was Si Guanlin. It must be him, right? He was the one who called her this late! He really turned into a stalker!

Chills ran down through her body just at the thought of that. She felt like she was in a horror film because of the doorbell and the thunderclap outside. Her place looked scarier than ever.

Tian Ruyi was no fool. She was not going to open her door no matter what but… she could check who the person was outside through the peephole on her door. She went out of her bedroom and peeked through the hole. There she saw a familiar face… 

Si Hongqi?!! What was he doing here?!! 

She quickly opened the door and shouted angrily, "What the hell is wrong with you brothers?!!"

Si Hongqi ended up blinking a few times in confusion at her sudden outburst.

Tian Ruyi was fuming even if the man before her was someone she liked. Just because she likes him does not mean that he had the right to disturb her at such an hour!

She inhaled deeply to keep in her anger before she exhaled. This time, with a rather calm tone, she asked him, "Si Hongqi, what time is it right now?"

Si Hongqi paused before he checked his wristwatch. "2:42."

"Ah-huh, 2:42 in the?" she urged him to continue.

"Morning," he finished.

She crossed her arms and looked at him with a raised brow. Instead of saying another word, she waited for him to tell her the excuse he had in mind.

Si Hongqi stared at her for a moment. He couldn't help but find her adorable with her bed hair. She was wearing an oversized shirt and he could easily tell that she was not wearing any bra at all. She didn't look like she just woke up so she was probably still awake from earlier. Her eyes were sparkling like diamonds even if she was looking at him with a glare. She was outing her plump lips and he couldn't help but find her alluring and at the same time, cute.

"I apologize for waking you up this late," he said with a helpless smile.

"..." Just like his brother, Si Hongqi didn't sound like he meant it when he apologized. They really were brothers. No need for a DNA test for them alright.

He was still wearing a tailored suit that made her think that he just probably came from his work. Guess he was like Bai Jingye, huh? A workaholic man who didn't care if he had to stay up late just so he could finish his job. "Why are you here, Si Hongqi?" 

"I was thinking of you."

Ba-dump!

She was caught off-guard by his words. "E-eh?"

"I wanted to see you?" A soft smile appeared on his lips.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

Her heart was just restless, her thoughts were. It even began pounding loud and fast when he took a step forward, closer to her. He placed his hand at the doorpost and leaned forward towards her level.

Tian Ruyi was staring at him with wide eyes as she saw his face slowly closing in the gap between their faces.

Was she dreaming? How could he easily say such words and affect her so greatly? 

Just when he was just an inch away, she quickly covered his mouth with her hand, blocking him, at the same time, stopping his lips from meeting hers. Her eyes went blank as she sternly looked at him. No, she was not going to be deceived by those sneaky eyes of his. 

That two-faced man… he probably has some kind of secret agenda by coming to her place and now? He was taking advantage of her! She was not going to allow it even if she liked him! She would not allow her heart to take control of her brain!

"I'm going to sleep. Go away." She pushed him away before she hurriedly turned away and shut the door behind her, locking it in the process.

Si Hongqi was bad for her heart. She may have looked calm earlier but her heart was weak. She was panicking inside so she rejected his advances.

She slumped against the door as she placed her hand on her chest. Her heart was thumping like crazy alright. She could feel her cheeks heat up. If she stayed outside for a second longer, she didn't know what would happen. He was about to kiss her, right? Or was that just another tease just like last time when he placed his mug on the sink?

What was that about? He came just because he was thinking of her without minding what time it was? He was such a crazy man!

Tian Ruyi couldn't help but wonder why he was suddenly acting that way to her. Did he need something from her? Was that it? She refused to believe that he came just because he wanted to see her!

She stood up and peeked at the peephole to check if he was still there. He was gone.

See? Did he come all the way from his workplace just to tease her? Unbelievable!
