Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 202 Hurt you

"I will be back soon with the ice cream for dessert once you finish the meal," the waitress said, "If you have any more concerns, do tell me, and we would do our best to satisfy our customers' needs."

Liam and Ying Sheng smiled at the waitress as Liam spoke for both of them, "No concerns at the moment. Thank you."

With that, the two had already begun eating their lunch. It was at this moment that Ying Sheng realized that she was hungry, making Liam grin as he watched her enjoy her meal with every bite she took.

He felt happy, and his heart in his chest felt warm to have finally seen the lifeless look in her eyes turn jovial.

"Wow! That meal was amazing!"

It was as if Ying Sheng wasn't lifeless a while ago. Liam's grin reached ear to ear as he saw how happy Ying Sheng was, her joy infectious as he couldn't help but feel ecstatic for her as well.

"That's great!" Liam reached over the table as he slightly pinched Ying Sheng's cheek playfully. "I enjoy anything as long as I'm with you."

"Oh!" Ying Sheng smiled, revealing her perfect white teeth. It was her smile that was completely different from earlier's fake smile. "Always sweet with your words. Thank you."

As the two still stayed in the restaurant while Ying Sheng ate her creamy, rich chocolate ice cream, what the front desk clerk of the hotel said had caught their attention, especially Ying Sheng.

"Thank you for staying over at Bevnowel Hotel, Mr. Han Xi. Please do choose our hotel again if you are considering any hotels to stay in!"

"Mr. Han Xi? Could it be?"

Liam and Ying Sheng's head instinctively turned to where they heard the voice. The moment they did, Ying Sheng's eyes landed on the familiar figure of the man she loved, making her abruptly stand up as she approached him, surprising the man.

"H-Han Xi!"

"Ying Sheng?"

Han Xi's eyes slightly furrowed as he did not expect her in the hotel's restaurant. The restaurant was near the front desk, so she couldn't miss him and noticed him right in an instant when he walked away.

"Wh-what brings you here?"

She suddenly felt shy, as if they weren't friends. She tucked some tendrils of her hair behind her ear as Liam watched in his seat, jealousy coursing through his body to see her react this way.

"Oh! I stayed here for the meantime since I had business here and couldn't get home right away," he answered, a smile appearing on his face. "I could see you're with someone. I hope you enjoy your day," he said, then he started to leave.

Ying Sheng felt a sudden rush in her blood as she saw his retreating figure. With always being stood up by him, she caught him by the wrist, stopping him in his tracks.

"W-wait," she said, stammering with her words. "Can we talk for a while, please?"

Seeing and sensing the urgency in her voice, Han Xi cocked his head to the side in wonder, yet he nodded, giving her a yes.

"Sure. Is it okay, though? Someone is waiting for you, so--"

"It will just be quick," she interrupted him as she turned to face Liam. "It will just be quick. I'll be right back, okay?"

As she was about to leave, Liam abruptly stood up from his seat as he grabbed her arm, making Ying Sheng wince as Liam tightened his grip. His eyes reflected jealousy and, at the same time, sadness as he looked at Han Xi and Ying Sheng back and forth.

Looking at Han Xi now, Liam felt cold as he started comparing himself to him. He began to feel insecure as the thought of Ying Sheng liking the other man lingered in his thoughts. He wondered what Han Xi could have that he doesn't--that's why she loved him.

"Liam." Ying Sheng had said his name, snapping him out of his thoughts. "It will be quick... I promise."

The man hesitated a bit before letting go, but Liam just nodded. He did not say a word as his lips turned into a tight line, his hands at the sides balling into tight fists as he watched Han Xi and Ying Sheng use the elevator to go to the rooftop for some privacy.

With Ying Sheng drowning in her thoughts as she thought to herself that it was now or never to confess her feelings towards Han Xi, the trip to the rooftop had ended rather quickly.

"We're here," Han Xi said, snapping Ying Sheng out of her thoughts. Ying Sheng smiled as the two walked out of the elevator, then out of the rooftop, the breeze instantly kissing their skin.

It was quiet for a few seconds. With Ying Sheng finally alone with the man she adores, she felt her heart pounding in her chest as if begging for its release. Breaking the silence, Han Xi talked once more, Ying Sheng holding her breath, nervous.

As Han Xi was scanning the woman who had only worn a black turtle neck sweater and blue fitted navy jeans that had accentuated her slender legs, the man's eyebrows furrowed when he noticed something different. He observed that Ying Sheng had her hands wrapped in a bandage, making him grab her arm in worry as he inspected it.

"What is this? What happened? Were you injured? Did that man with you hurt you?"

"No!"

Ying Sheng could sense the worry in Han Xi's voice, but when she heard from him that he thought Liam had hurt her, she had to stand up to him.

"Liam could never do that!"

Her voice came out strong, slightly surprising Han Xi as he blinked his eyes at her a few times in surprise.

"Then what about that bandaged hand? What is it about then if he didn't hurt you?"

Ying Sheng averted her gaze from him, not wanting to answer his question. She released a sigh as she ignored answering him, swaying Han Xi from the question thrown at her.

"I came here to talk about something else," she mumbled, enough for the man to hear.
