The Beauty's Comeback! What My Wife Says Goes 103 Chapter 103- I've Always...

Shi Xue woke up feeling much better after a good night's sleep. She forgot how she showered and dressed, but she still had a light rosy scent from her body, so she definitely bathed. She was in an extremely good mood because the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Zhi Hei. He was sleeping soundly with his arms around her waist. This was the second time that she had woken up first. She laughed gently when she remembered the make out session they had when he was sleeping on the couch a while back.

"Zhi Hei, I wonder what your reaction would be, if I told you that I've been in love with you since years ago." she whispered very lightly and softly while stroking the handsome man's sleeping face.

-Shi Xue thinking back to the past-

I was too young and innocent. Too naive back then... I should've known when Ze Yang would skip meals with me, not come home for several days, and say that he had business trips. Then, Qi Wing would send me texts of how her boyfriend stayed over coincidentally the same nights that he didn't come home. But I chose to believe this man because I loved him. Or so I thought that I had loved him. Nah, instead of loving Ze Yang, it felt more like I didn't want to be alone and he was my 'boyfriend.' I didn't have anyone or anything back then, so he was like a floating board to me. I wanted to wake myself up so I started to attend business events, surprisingly something great came out of it.

The first time I met Zhi Hei, he was the eye candy in the party. It was obvious that every girl was drooling over his looks and wealth. But I was having my sharp eyes on Qi Wing holding onto Ze Yang's arm intimately. My instincts told me that they were cheating behind my back, but I didn't catch them kissing or anything so this isn't much evidence. When Qi Wing wanted to embarra.s.s me in front of everyone, Zhi Hei walked over like a mighty king. He saved me from the awkward position I was in and claimed that I was his companion. After talking to him, I realized that he wasn't as scary as what the rumors described him to be. He was approachable and honest with me. Even though his pick up lines were cheesy, I could tell that he tried to cheer me up and his compliments were genuine. For the first time after my father died, I smiled wholeheartedly without restraint. I couldn't believe it either, that it wasn't Ze Yang who made me smile, but a stranger I had met less than half an hour ago. He gave me a sense of security that was unexplainable, but I was sure that he was a good person by heart.

Ever since that party, I've become more interested in joining events and dinners with business partners so that I could meet him again. Even I didn't realize it myself that I no longer cared much about Ze Yang's whereabouts. I sometimes even forgot that he lived with me because I always headed back to an emptied apartment anyways. Hah... right, his heart was never with me, so what would having his body being physically at the apartment do? Actually, my heart settled on ending the relationship with Ze Yang even before that business party because I'm not stupid enough to realize that my man's heart is not with me.

Honestly, I never thought about it detailedly enough. Ze Yang had changed his heart and feelings, but kept me by his side because I still had some use for him. I knew that he wanted power, but I never knew he would attempt to kill me for the power and wealth. In the past, I've always wondered maybe there was something that I didn't do correctly or completely that satisfied him... but now I take it back. Once greed controls someone's heart, they won't turn back again. Even if they do, it's useless to hold an empty heart. A relationship should be simple without any schemes and lies. Ze Yang and my relationship should've been finished long ago. His aggressiveness and behavior was already too much for me to handle. I knew myself clear enough that this relationship needed to end. I tried to end it with him, but that only led to my near death experience. I was very afraid after that time. The horrific bruised marks on my neck reminded me of what kind of monster I was actually dating. I was so glad that I didn't let him have me completely.

I probably realized it myself that once I find out about Zhi Hei attending the same event as me, I would purposely dress up. I would make myself presentable and be there in my greatest mood. Every time I see him, he would smile sweetly back at me. He treated me as a friend, but somewhere inside of me already thought of him as more than a friend. He knew I disliked these parties, so he would try to find an excuse to leave early and drag me along when others weren't looking. During these times, I would feel that it is our secret mini dates. Whenever I'm with him, I feel very relaxed and great about myself. All of the stress and pressure I had would be gone and I would be a much brighter person. My smile would be directly from my heart. I didn't have to hide my true self from him and he would listen to my randomness. It felt too great that I started wondering how great it would've been if i met him before Ze Yang. After a while, Ze Yang seemed to have heard rumors of me and Zhi Hei hooking up and going in and out of the hotel. These were false news spread by some person, even now I didn't care enough to find out. The trust between me and Ze yang had been this fragile that a stranger's words could easily break our trust. His aggressiveness really made me struggle and feel frightened for my own life, but I couldn't leave...for a certain reason.

No matter how many times I tried to keep myself from Zhi Hei, I couldn't help attending the parties and meetings. But soon, Ze Yang had prohibited me from attending the parties and dinners. Even though it was him who prevented my opportunities to see Zhi Hei, that fateful day brought us to meet by coincidence. It was a rainy day and Ze Yang told me to go out and buy his favorite steak. On my way to the supermarket, I met Zhi Hei, who was drenched in the rain without an umbrella. I forgot about my surroundings and happily called out to him until he looked towards my direction. When he greeted me with a smile, I hopped over to his side and offered to walk him to his car. It was raining so hard and he didn't even think of caring for himself to get an umbrella! When Zhi Hei wrapped his arms around me, I sensed the tension that he was emitting, so I quickly took caution and held onto him. I saw an a.s.sa.s.sin trying to kill him out of nowhere and he made sure to fight that man far away from me. While he was dealing with the a.s.sa.s.sin, I saw another man aiming towards Zhi Hei with a gun. At that moment, I didn't think of anything and ran in front of Zhi Hei to push him away. I didn't know what happened, but my world was twirling around me. I only heard Zhi Hei's voice calling out my name before everything turned black.
