CHAPTER 73

When Mo Feng Yi stepped into the dining area, she was not so surprised but relieved that Liu Xueyi had gone.

Wasting no time, she lifted her chin and assumed her previous domineering pose as she sauntered her way back to her table.

Mr Ma Wan had been eagerly waiting for her return and was surprised when she came back without much touch-up to her face like she had said but broke out in cold sweat.

"Feng Yi, are you okay?" He inquired, lifting his hand to touch her arm.

A cold glare shot at him, forcing him to stop half-way through.

"Don't touch me."

Several stares were sent their way as everyone wondered what was happening between the two of them.

Ma Wan furrowed his brows at her. What was she acting up for when she clearly instigated this? If she did not want any of this, why did she agree to come for the lunch with him and even touched him?

Thinking she was playing hard to get, Ma Wan smiled cheekily and tried again. "Feng Yi, baby," this time around, he let his hand drop to her thigh.

She got extremely angry and irritated and smacked his hand away.

Wasting no more time, she stood up and picked up her bag and phone. "I am done."

"Done? Mo Feng Yi what is the meaning of that?" He questioned, ignoring the fact that his voice was raised.

She looked around a bit, aware of the eyes now fixated on them. This was not what she wanted but she was already irritated enough that she was with him while Liu Xueyi was with Andromeda.

And then he touched her. The nerve.

"I would tell you the meaning of this," she sneered. "Rather than trying to get into my pants, why not keep your old fingers to yourself."

"Mo Feng Yi??" His eyes dimmed at her, suppressing the rage she was trying to force out of him.

"Watch your mouth. Weren't you-" he did not get to finish his words before she interjected.

"Do not try to cause a scene, old man. I was doing you a favour coming on this date. Goodbye."

She turned on her heels, flipped her hair and walked out of the restaurant. To her, if she behaved that way and word got out still, it would not be to her detriment. However, the man she angered wasn't the least bit forgiving type.

'Mo Feng Yi, you think you can embarrass me like that and go scot-free huh? You may be angry but I am more dangerous when I am angrier. I would get you back.'

To Mo Feng Yi she may have escaped Mr Ma, but what she had not counted for was the fact that she would bump into her own doom.

Rushing as fast as her feet could take her down the stairs, she failed to look carefully and bumped into someone right at the base.

"Urrgh, watch where you are going, damn it," she cursed a complaint.

She took the next step down and placed her feet lightly on the ground like a model on a runway or a ballet dancer.

Before she got to move the next leg though, she felt a hand latch unto her shoulder and pull her back.

The force had been something she did not expect and she stumbled back, spraining her ankle in the process and her back slammed into the wall at the side.

"Ouch!" She cried out in a painful whimper.

Her head whipped up quickly to see the face of the bold person that had dared to do anything to her. She was ready to curse, threaten and do all manner of things to make that person pay.

His figure towered as he closed the gap between them, ensuring his every step made her heart beat faster in her chest.

By the time he lifted his head to look at her, the deadly aura that seeped out into their surrounding made her freeze in place as her jaw dropped.

"L-Li-u Xueyi," she stuttered.

"Mo Feng Yi, did I or did I not say you were never permitted to appear before me again?"

She gulped visibly and gave a slow nod of her head.

"Good, so what nonsense stunt did you try to play or did you think I would not notice your presence and cheap aphrodisiac perfume?"

She contorted her face into a frown at his words.

'Who's perfume is he calling cheap? Does he know how much I got it and the effort I put into it? I even had to bear with that old geezer to do get what I need and all he can say is... Wait, he noticed it was aphrodisiac!'

A thought formed in her mind at that point and she decided to carry it out.

'No matter how much of a man you are, inhaling this aphrodisiac too much would get your dick twitching.' she thought within her.

Taking this as her last chance to turn the tables on Andromeda, she limped forward and threw her hands on him, pretending to fall.

To her amazement, rather than catch her, Liu Xueyi evaded her completely, leaving her to hug the floor. "Ouch," she cried out again, hoping for some pity but got none.

His angry eyes bore into her back, watching her pitiful acting.

"Are you done?"

The same icy dread feeling she experienced earlier, spread over her body eating deep into her bones.

Her breathing hitched at the sight and she cowered in fear.

He did not give her any room for escape and squatted close to her. "Tell me one thing, Mo Feng Yi, what did you discuss with her in the restroom?"

"Nothing, I swear."

"Okay, let's try this again, shall we," he wore his brilliant smile and trailed his white-gloved finger down her leg to the ankle she sprained.

Her eyes widened in fear when she realized what he was going to do. "I am no gentleman, Mo Feng Yi. Now tell me, before I make you a screaming mess and mind you, no one would dare interfere."

"I swear it was nthing. I called her out."

"Go on," he pressed his pointy finger on her sprain, watching as cold sweat broke out on her forehead. "I am listening."

"I told her, you were mine but...." she looked into his eyes and faked the tears. "I really do like you, Liu Xueyi. Can't you see it?"

"No the answer I asked." He pressed on the sprain harder this time, watching her bit down on her lip to prevent herse;f from squealing.

"Answer again. What did she say?"

"She bullied me and said she was your girlfriend. I know it is a lie, Liu Xueyi. I do not believe her. You would never take a one-time thing like her as you girl..."

"Aaaahhh!"

She had not yet finished her words when he pressed down hard on her ankle and stopped suddenly.

"Yes, she is right. She is my girlfriend and you can never compare with her. And honestly, between you and her, you are the one-time thing with a cheap perfume who lacks the proper skills to seduce a man."

"Xueyi!"

"And know, neither you nor any woman has a right to hurt her or touch her. Understood? This time I would show mercy. Should you cross her part..." He leaned in close to her ear and whispered. "I would be your worst nightmare."
