The Hater and the Player

Chapter 39

| A test that nearly cost our life |

It was just a test and with that, the two of us exchanged relief looks before sighing once again.

We're currently sitting in my bed on my room, of course the door is opened pertaining to what my brother ordered us.

I really thought I'll die from fear and anger after that episode, turns out it's just a test on our relationship.

Thankfully, our relationship didn't weaken but instead it got more stronger and I finally had the chance to look at a vulnerable Ming Chen.

For some reason, the warmth in my heart continued to spread all over my body and before I knew it, I was snuggled up on Ming Chen's embrace.

"Eh? Is our family's Feng-er wanted some pampering? How cute" he said gently as he wove his hands to my waist before embracing me tightly.

His two hands were stuck on my waist while his cheeks rubbed on my hair. His warm firm body serves as a big cuddly teddy bear to me, besides, he smell divine which made me furrow my head into his neck.

We settled on that position for what feels like a day but it was only half an hour before my brother decided to break the warm atmosphere.

"Hey, hands off to my sister! I just left you for a minute or two and you decided to take advantage of my sister with your salted pig hands!

Great brother, I wish you can see yourself in the mirror and relearn about your three views again.

I could only scowl in response and get away from Ming Chen's warm embrace dispirited. He patted my back before he took his hands off of mine and proceeds to pay himself to be more...presentable into everyone's eyes.

"Gege... I think you should really get a girlfriend, don't worry. I'll introduce you to someone, you'll surely like her" Ming Chen said in passing before my brother acted like a hyena who was starved for meat.

"Really?! You promised!" He said like a kid who got his present for Christmas.

Hmph, what a paper tiger!

...

Soon, Ming Chen went out but of course not without having a talk with my mother. Honestly, I'm more inclined to worry about my mother and Ming Chen meeting rather than with my father.

If mother became an actress, she will surely become an A-list actor, without a doubt.

"Don't worry, your mother isn't someone who can rebuke heaven and earth, relax"

"Mmm"

How ironic, I once said the word relax to Ming Chen and laugh loudly at his expression. Now I can only imagine the anxiety in his face and relate to it. Just freaking great.

We can only wait at the door of my father's office before deciding to seat at the living room. But I couldn't sit still and stand to the wall, a few steps away from my father's office.

"Don't worry, my Meifu will be fine. He survived in the entertainment world, he can use his glib tongue to sway mom but mom is a bit....strong"

Strong is an understatement to describe my mother. I look side glance at my brother, his expression serious but his eyes held his true feelings.

"Meifu?" My father questioned while I glare at my brother and stomp him in his feet without father's notice.

"Yeah, he's just joking" father doesn't look like he believes me yet he nodded and continued.

"I also wanted to ask, are the two of you engage? I mean he called me-"

"No"

"Yes"

Two different answers overlap as I blink in confusion before looking behind me. There he is, his face more haggard than even but his eyes were high and full of spirits as he match towards my direction.

"We will, of course with Feng-er's confirmation" he smiled towards my father before winking at me.

"What do you-"

"He already told me of his plans and.... I admit I'm pleased with them. Don't worry, you have my permission" my mother said making me appalled at the situation.

We're engaged?! How come I didn't know that? Where in the hell did that decision come from?!

I glared at Ming Chen, my hands on his waist as I pinched them in wish of a bruise before turning to my father's bewildered face and the smug expression of my brother.

"Yeah, I still wanted some time between us before we decide to.... marry"

Oh, I truly wish to pummel Ming Chen's head with a cane. Now, I can only act cordially to him and decided to eat our unfinished dinner with a pleasant mood.

"Good bye Ming Chen, take care of yourself" my father said as he stand at the door.

"Take good care of yourself and.... remember your promise" my mother mysteriously states which made me look at the two of the in burning curiosity.

"I will take care of myself Yuefu, I hope Yuefu too" he bow to my father before he turned to my mother. "Yuemu, you also take care of yourself and... I will remember them"

After that, they close the door and urged me to take care of Ming Chen and send him off which I did.

Of course I will, this is my chance to settle him and this is the perfect time to execute it. So I turned to Ming Chen and was suddenly spun to the back of his car and before I knew it, I was kissed.

I fell so deeply in his gentle kisses that my knees turned soft. Thankfully, he was holding me, if not I bet that I would become a puddle in here.

And because of his overflowing affection, my brain just crashed and my plan has already left my head.

Turns out, it was just as the saying goes, What appears beautiful is not always good for you.
