Novel Bin Chapter 24 24
"And if I did bring you to my girlfriends? It's not like I invited you, Wang Zi Mo," said Liu Wei from behind me. The joyful hint that his voice always had came out this time, but he still did not relax his grip on my hand.
"You invited the Old Master and Wang Chao, why wouldn't I come?" replied Wang Zi Mo.
I relaxed a bit at that statement. At least he forced himself to be here, Wang Chao and Liu Wei didn't invite him. I knew that Liu Wie could feel me relaxing, but instead of letting go, he maintained his position.New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
Centering himself more behind me, as if to offer protection or comfort I didn't know, he introduced me to everyone around. "You've already met Wang Chao, but this is the Old Master, Wang Yi Chen, the oldest young master of the Wang family, Wang Zi Mo, and the third young master, Wang Zi Hao." I nodded my head in the direction of all of them and then once again, smiled up at Liu Wei.
"Can I speak to you in the kitchen... Sweetheart?" I asked, my voice dripping with honey. He simply smiled at me and led me towards my own kitchen leaving the Wang family and their bodyguards alone in my living room. To say that my skin wasn't burning in stress would be an understatement.
"Why is he here and what are you hoping to happen?" I demanded in a harsh whisper as soon as we entered the kitchen.
"Relax, Sweetheart," Liu Wei said with that easygoing smile of his. "The four of us will go into another room to discuss matters and the rest will stay in the living room."
"I am not leaving that man alone in my house unattended. It is bad enough that he now knows about this place, but he cannot have free reign to look around."
Liu Wei looked down at me, a serious look on his face. "You are really upset about this," he said, somewhat surprised.
"You just brought one of the men that I want to watch burn to ashes in my own flames into my house. To say that I am upset is an understatement. I am closer to killing every one of you and using your ashes as compost for my plants."
He reared back in shock, the sun from the kitchen windows reflecting off his glasses. The sensory overload was too much for me and pink and blue flames shot out of my whole body, completely encasing me in their protection.
It was probably a good thing that I had removed the fire alarm in this section of the house or I would be in trouble.
"Ok, Sweetheart," Liu Wei said as he cautiously held out his hand to my arm. "Just take a breath. I can create a situation with Sunset Corporation and have him called out," he continued as he frantically typed on his cell phone with one hand while still looking at me. Despite my anger, I was actually impressed by that feat.
I couldn't even text and walk at the same time in my first life.
"What about Wang Zi Hao, how do you want me to deal with him?" He asked, still staring at me. His hand had finally managed to touch my shoulder. But instead of being burned like I expected him to be, my pink fame wrapped itself around his hand, adding that small part of him to the protection it felt I needed.
"Wang Zi Hao has to go too," I said, taking a deep breath. I managed to tame back the blue flame, but the pink one was not ready to obey yet. "I don't know anything about him, but that means that he is not strong enough to stand on his own two feet. He can feed his older brother information if asked and I don't want him to have that information on me."
"Alright, I can do that," Lui Wei said, still trying to help get my emotions under control. "What else can I do?"
"Nothing, but those two need to leave," I said looking away from where my flame had engulfed his hand to his face. "I cannot deal with anything until that happens."
"Done," he said.
A few minutes later Wang Chao entered the kitchen, his eyes going to the two of us. I had managed to get the pink flame extinguished, but Liu Wei's hand was still on my arm. "You will explain your actions to me," he said, fully expecting a quick reply.
"Well, Bless your heart," I said with my best smile. I might be Canadian, but I could use 'bless your heart' like the best of them. "I will do no such thing to the man that brought uninvited guests into my house."
"They're gone now," he replied, not understanding what 'bless your heart' meant. It sounded like a good thing, but the expression on my face must have given it away. "Something about there being an issue with Sunset Corporation and the move to Country S." He looked at Liu Wei as if knowing that he had something to do with it.
Liu Wei simply shrugged his shoulders and escorted me back into the living room. Wang Chao followed after us.
"Does someone want to tell me what is going on?" Demanded the Old Master as soon as the three of us entered the room.
I raised my eyebrows looking at the man and then glanced around the room to see who had remained. Seeing no familiar faces, I looked back at Liu Wei.
"They are the same ones that were here last time for our little talk. I didn't think that what we needed to say should be done in front of a new audience."
I nodded my head happy at his consideration. If all assistants were like this, I might have to get my own. But then again, at the end of the world, there wasn't really a need for assistants anyways. I wonder how he was with a gun?
"I do not enjoy repeating myself," came the voice of a very ticked-off Old Master. Apparently, he was not used to fading in the background.
This might not work out after all.
