Words I Was Afraid To Hear 152 Gone

As the skirt of her black gown turned, Ming Rushi was stunned to find the woman with her gone.

She gulped, a worried look flashing on her face.

She walked past several guests with still no sign of that woman. Her delicate features started to contort in annoyance. Where did that crazy woman go?! If more people recognize her, they will all be in big trouble.

She almost b.u.mped into a waiter with a tray of drinks in panic. She abruptly halted, losing her balance.

Suddenly, a pair of hands supported her shoulders, stabilizing her.

She managed to stand properly in her platform pumps as she turned towards the force who saved her face.

"Who are you looking for?" Young Master Ji flashed a teasing smile.

"No one." she lied.

"Oh. I thought you lost your cousin." He shifted his expression to a pursed lips smile, revealing a one-sided-dimple as he turned his head, as if looking around.

Ming Rushi was irritated by his teasing. She shrugged his hands off and stomped away.

Young Master Ji took out a pocket sanitizer, squeezed a small amount, and rubbed his hands.

He looked at the retreating back full of mockery and with a dangerous glint of his eyes.

Earlier when he came from the restroom, he saw his bestfriend dragging his wife out into the hallway, straight into the elevator.

Even though it was surprising for him to see Agatha Yang in a new name, he knew that the situation is complicated. He also knew how ruthless Masaichi Xiu can be if someone crossed the line. He will wait and see how the story will unfold.

When Masaichi Xiu finally let go of her lips, they were both breathing heavily.

As the woman regained her senses, she slapped him hard with all the force her hand could gather.

Her long nails even scratched his skin with such a great and swift force.

Masaichi tasted blood on his lip, while his cheek burned from the slap.

However, instead of getting angry, he laughed. He laughed heartily at first, then he transitioned to mimick a mad man. Then, his eyes filled with grief.

"It's you. It's really you!" His voice cracked on the last syllable as tears fell from his eyes.

She has been crying the moment her lips met his, and tears poured even more as she bit her lip and shook her head at him.

"I...I would've given up everything to see you again!" His expression was so sincere that her knees almost gave up. At this point, he has thrown all his doubts on her. He does not care anymore if she had forsaken him, as long as she is truly alive.

Her face was not popular in City S as he kept his family under the protection of the Igarashi clan in City T. Even their wedding was held in City O, where his grandmother was originally from. XCG just knew that the heir to the company and CEO is married with child. Some female employees did not even believe this and kept their hopes on him.

However, he had at least introduced her to his close friends so they knew her face. He had to remember to thank Ji Shengde for peeling his eyes in that event.

"No! Please don't!" She struggled to free herself from his embrace once again.

She did not intend to reveal herself to him, at least, not this soon. She just wanted to see her son. She knew that if he found out about what she did, he could never forgive her. She was even prepared to face her real death when that day comes.

"Please...no more lies! Please!" The tall man pleaded over and over. He held her like he would never let go.

He was afraid that if he let go even for a second, that she would be gone and dead again, like his previous reality.
