Chapter 173 - They Met (3)
Chapter 173 – They Met (3)
Xu Nuan was sipping on her caramel frappe and cautiously peeked at Jia Fei who was glaring at her. Rather than Luo Dan's gentle gaze, she was worried about the deadly glare that she was getting from Jia Fei.
Han Liang who was sitting beside her nudged at her, and leaned closer, " Why is she glaring at you? Did you steal something from her?" he whispered in her ears.
She pursed her lips and glared at him which meant, 'Shut your crappy mouth before I sew it close.' She was already feeling annoyed at what happened a while ago and this stupid man was making it worse.
Yes!! The man who made a heroic entry by stopping the man from running away was none other than Han Liang. And she hated this fact. He did nothing other than stopping that man from running away by pushing the door open and gonna take the whole credit for that.
Show-Off!!
Although she had handed the man to the police, to prevent Luo Dan's name from getting into this, she stated that it was her whom that man was following. And the inappropriate photos and videos of girls became proof of his doings. Since it wasn't his first time, the police took care of him without any fuss.
However, she was still angry at the fact that the man dared to take photos of her baby girl. She adores Luo Luo and had always treated her like a baby and seeing him treating her like this ruined her mood.
Luo Dan insisted on buying them a meal to thank them but Xu Nuan declined the offer. However, Han Liang insisted too, and to keep her heart, she agreed on a coffee and cake. Han Liang didn't leave and stick to her till the end.
'Does this man have no work to do?' she wondered.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Jia Fei's question, " Why are you following us?"
" Huh?"
Jia Fei smirked and crossed her hands in front of her chest, " Don't act like you don't know me. I saw you in the elevator this morning. And you followed us to the cafe as well. Why are you following us? What do you want?" she asked in a low yet cold voice.
Xu Nuan was perplexed when she heard her question. She was indeed following them but being caught like this is embarrassing. And what is she gonna say? That she is Jiang Yue who has died but has been reborn?
" Ahem, Well, I wasn't exactly following you," she said hesitantly, looking away from her burdensome gaze.
" Then what is it? Do you know that you can be punished for stalking us? You even came to our residential place just to stalk us." Luo Dan pursed her lips seeing Jia Fei's attitude towards the girl who helped them.
" Ya, don't be like this. She is the one who caught that man." She nudged her but Jia Fei eyed her. She has seen many crazy fans who act to help but slowly started to invade their privacy. Luo Dan has always been gentle and gets fooled easily by the active crazy fans who later tried to harm her because of their so-called obsession.
'Everything was too suspicious to be called a coincidence.'
Han Liang was observing Jia Fei who was strong and bitter as black coffee whereas Luo Dan was gentle and warm-hearted, just like hot-cocoa milk in winter. 'I like hot cocoa more than black coffee.' he smiled and stared at her silently, while Xu Nuan was dealing with black coffee.
Xu Nuan was speechless when she heard Jia Fei's words. Hah! Does she even know with whom she is talking? How dare she talk to me like that? Her fighting spirit awakened with her provocative words.
'Ah, wait. She indeed doesn't know whom she is talking to. For her, I am just a young-strange girl who is following her.'
" If you're talking about seeing me at the elevator this morning, is it wrong for me to take an elevator of the building where I reside? Or is it exclusively reserved for you? Ms. Celebrity, you only own a unit, not the whole building and the elevator." Xu Nuan commented, making Jia Fei frown.
" You also live in Glory Building?" Luo Dan asked in surprise, interrupting Jia Fei's mood.
Xu Nuan simply nodded while staring at Jia Fei coldly, returning her cold gaze.
Jia Fei and was speechless at how the girl responded. " You!! You were making sarcasm, right?" She even called her Ms. Celebrity. This girl looks gentle and innocent but her tongue is sharp as a sword.
Xu Nuan smirked and shrugged, " Well, think as you like. Ms. Luo, thank you for the coffee. However, I think I have to leave. I am getting late for work." she politely said to Luo Dan and stood up to leave, leaving Jia Fei stupefied with her response.
As she walked away, she remembered something. When she turned around, she saw Han Liang was still sitting there and was looking at Luo Dan without saying anything. She gritted her teeth seeing his my-first-love kind of gaze and shouted, " Are you coming or not? Or do you intend to stay there forever and get humiliated even after helping others?" She said, at which Jia Fei turned around and glared at her bold words.
Jia Fei knew that she said those words for her to hear. She scoffed and looked at Han Liang, " Aren't you leaving? Your girlfriend is calling you!"
[WHO IS MY GIRLFRIEND?]
[WHO IS HIS GIRLFRIEND?]
Xu Nuan and Han Liang both reacted at the same time, startling her. Han Liang looked at Luo Dan earnestly and shook his head, " She is not my girlfriend. We aren't even friends. She is just a poor monkey whom I just helped today out of humanity. I 'really' don't have any girlfriend." He explained, trying hard to not make her misunderstand.
"…."
Xu Nuan was speechless seeing how strongly he denied it. She took a deep breath from anger taking her over. She must not lose her temper. Breathe in, breathe out.
" Ahaha, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about this." Luo Dan said politely, thinking that he was denying it strongly because he was afraid of the rumors. The dating rumors can be fatal and many people like to keep them secret. That's why she thought he was afraid of revealing his relationship with Xu Nuan.
Han Liang frowned as he was not sure if she understood his words clearly or not.
–
After leaving the cafe`, Xu Nuan glared at Han Liang and kicked him on the calves.
" Ya, why are you hitting me? Heartless woman!" He groaned in pain and rubbed his leg where she just kicked him.
" I was right. A dumbhead Prince can never change. Wear your mask properly. I don't want to be misunderstood because of you again. Aish! I don't understand why people think we can be a couple." she rubbed her arms as she felt creeps just thinking about its possibility.
" Other than your good looks, there is nothing good about you," she commented, making him scoff at her.
" At least, I have good looks, unlike someone I know." he retorted, earning another kick from her.
Even though she and Jia Fei weren't polite to each other and were rude while making comments, that's how their relationship is. They have a love and hate relationship which only they can understand.
They used to fight a lot, sometimes they tend to fight at the simplest thing of borrowing each other's clothes and makeup, but they tend to make up after that as well. They are both hot-headed and say whatever they want to say on people's faces rather than keeping it hidden, masked by their politeness.
There were times where they tended to be physical. Violent fights help to relieve their stress, this way they don't keep any grudges to themselves and end it with a final face-off.
Even though her face has changed, and their relationship is not the same as before, their attitude is still the same as before. She couldn't help but chuckle thinking how Jia Fei was ready to scratch her face when she talked to her in her same annoying tone.
" So they also live in the Glory Building. Hmm…interesting." she smiled and turned to look at the cafe behind her again.
