No Where To Run: Trapped With My Archenemy

Chapter 44 - Starting With A Fight,



"Master, do you want to sleep with me?"

Ming Yue's unexpected question almost left Wan Yi Jun petrified as he stood there, staring at the enchanting beauty before him.

And it took a moment for him to regain his bearings and respond to such a blatant inquiry.

"What...what did you say?" His proud voice trembled a little as he spoke to the girl, who remained nonchalant as if she doesn't care much about the gravity of her question.

"Do you want to have sex with me?" Ming Yue cut the chase and directly asked the first doubt that surfaced in her mind. Well, it was never a new experience for her to receive sexual advances from men. Even when she was an unappealing maid in the courtesan house, some men approached her with obvious intentions of sleeping with her. However, it was a bit difficult for Ming Yue to see Wan Yi Jun among them.

"Do you-" She repeated once again and moved closer to Wan Yi Jun, only to startle the poor guy with her brazen actions.

"No..absolutely not." He quickly refuted while trying to keep his chaotic mind calm and tranquil. "You just have to do the house chores."

He explained without getting intimidated by her words, but Ming Yue on the other hand repeatedly questioned him as if she was testing his self restrain.

"Are you sure about it, master? You won't ask for some other services later?"

Though Ming Yue tried her best to stay idle, unfortunately, it seemed like she was just one step away from getting onto his nerves.

It was true that Wan Yi Jun had a soft corner for her, but it did not stop him from harshly retaliating to Ming Yue's impudent remarks.

"Some other services?" His dark eyes narrowed as he stared into Ming Yue's face, devoid of emotion. For a fraction of a moment, he couldn't help but think that she was indeed a human being or an android robot. Otherwise, how could she ask questions that women usually avoid?

"Miss Ming, Did I give you any false impression that I'm interested in you?" Wan Yi Jun asked in a tone that lacked its usual warmth. It sounded more like he was talking to a cold-blooded criminal.

"Yes. Master, all of your offers sounds like you have some ulterior motives," She honestly replied.

"Compensating your mortgage and paying your school fees? Is it what made you think that I'm interested in you?"

"I grew up in a courtesan house, master. If a stranger, a man who is willing to pay my expenses and try to engage more personally with, I have no other option to consider him like a courtesan's patron."

 

" I just said those things because...because...I...wanted...to help you." Wan Yi Jun struggled to find the correct word to express his feelings. Well, he felt pity towards a girl who was about to sell herself so that she won't be starved to death but saying that right at her face, however admitting that to her felt somewhat difficult for him.

  "Like a sugar daddy with ulterior motives?" She dropped a rude and heartless comment on Wan Yi Jun, only to make him explode in anger.

"What the hell!!!! I don't have any ulterior motives for you, and for god's sake, I don't even want to be anyone's daddy." He snarled in anger and disdain as if it was something he hated to his heart's core.

"Really master!!! You don't even want to become the father of your children?" Ming Yue asked in 

"Father and sugar daddy are two different things, miss Ming. But still, I'm not interested in becoming either of them." Wan Yi Jun harshly stated as if he was completely annoyed by her question.

He was a benevolent and affectionate gentleman who did so many good deeds and saved several lives. But when someone mentions fatherhood or even a great husband, he will become in the future, Wan Yi Jun had a hard time hiding his detest and disinterest.

"Young master Wan doesn't want to become a father?" Ming Yue couldn't help but wonder for a minute. She clearly remembered the beautiful woman whom she saw with Wan Yi Jun in the club, a few days ago. He had a girlfriend, and his family want him to get married, too. Then why did he appear so angry?

"Can I ask the reason for taking such a difficult decision?" Ming Yue asked without any second thoughts, only to pour oil into Wan Yi Jun's burning mind.

"You better not." Wan Yi Jun warned and crossed his arms over his chest as if he was putting high guards over him.

As soon as Ming Yue heard his answer, her shapely eyebrows knit together in confusion and blurted out something which Wan Yi Jun hated the most.

"Are you perhaps not interested in marriage-" 

Even before, Ming Yue could finish her question, Wan Yi Jun stopped him while trying his best not to get angry at her once again. It was human nature to be curious and poke their nose into others' personal lives. However, he wished that she would understand his intentions and stop discussing something personal and inappropriate at the same moment.

"Miss Ming, let's be civil and avoid these kinds of conversations." He made a conspicuous suggestion to put an end to their awkward discussion. "You don't have to worry about anything because you are staying in this house with a man. I can guarantee that I will never do anything that would cause any harm to you, physically or mentally."

Wan Yi Jun declared in a resilient and unflinching tone that clearly showed that he got no ulterior motives as Ming Yue claimed. He had already decided that there shall be no woman in his life by rejecting Zhi Lan, who relentlessly expressed her undying love to him. He was damn sure that he would never fall for this maid or any other woman. Having a loving partner and family was something that he had buried deep down in his heart.

Watching his agitated demeanour, Ming Yue finally realized that there was no need to bombard him with questions and agreed without any protests.

"Yes, sure. I'm sorry that I overstepped my boundaries. Please, take rest, master. I will start my work, then." She politely bowed her head and apologized,

"Hmm, please don't ever repeat it." He reminded the girl once again and extended his car key towards her.

  "I brought some groceries and other necessities, and it's in the trunk."

"I will get it, master." She took the car key from him and walked out of the mansion to pick up the groceries.

By the time she returned with plenty of grocery bags, Wan Yi Jun was nowhere to be seen.

"It seems like young master Wan didn't change much from his old self." She scoffed while looking at the closed door of the bedroom. "No matter how he pretends to be gentle and affectionate to fool others, his real aloof and forbearing personality will never leave him."

She mumbled in her head before storming towards the kitchen, carrying the groceries.

At the same time, Wan Yi Jun, who locked himself in the bathroom, stood under the cold shower to calm his fuming thoughts in his head. He never expected such an awkward and rude interaction with Ming Yue, although he was the one who offered her a job without discussing both of their terms. As someone who grew up in precarious living conditions, it was normal for Ming Yue to misinterpret his intentions, especially since no one has ever shown her kindness and love, a human deserved.

"I should apologize to her." Wan Yi Jun made up his mind and got out of the shower after spending a considerable amount of time in the name of cooling down his temper.

Also, it has been quite a few days since he had a proper bath as he was busy with his work. 

After deciding to rest up for a few hours and go back to work, Wan Yi Jun got dressed in a pair of loungewear, 

All of a sudden a faint knock was heard from outside, and obviously it was from his newly appointed maid.

"I have prepared some food. Why don't you eat it and rest, master?" Ming Yue said as soon as Wan Yi Jun opened the door and made eye contact with the girl who wore an apron over her dress.

"I don't eat breakfast."

"It's not the time for breakfast,"

"Just keep it there. I will eat later."

"Hmm."

"Wait a minute, I changed my mind."

"Why aren't you eating?"

"I never skip my breakfast."

"It is not the time for breakfast, so sit and eat with me."

"Master and maid never eat at the same table."

"One thing I hate is eating alone."

"It's delicious."

"Thanks, master."

"Miss Ming, can you stop calling me master? It's just two of us here."

"I'm sorry. I can't do that. This kind of title will remind us about the boundaries that both of us need to keep."

"Why do I feel that you are someone who likes to hold a grudge."
