Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 91

Zi Mei had stormed off from two extremely good looking men while a group of curious onlookers whispered and gossiped. She doesn’t know how she’s going to face all these people in college tomorrow. They will surely be talking about the mediocre college girl who has two men trying to make her follow either one of them outside the college gates. She knows she is no stunning beauty but Thorin Loong is so handsome, he probably has a fan club of his own while the new guy, Damon King, is also good looking in a rugged, bad boy way.

After the initial surprise at her reaction, Thorin Loong snapped out of his surprise and chased after her, easily catching up to her due to his long legs. He grabbed her arm to stop her.

“Lil Zi, stop, stop,” he said softly but she was not about to stop. She flung his hand off her and continued speed walking away. She noticed a few of the curious onlookers have also followed suit so she sped up even more, half running.

Thorin Loong was unperturbed. He kept pace with her. Then she heard Damon King’s heavy footsteps coming close towards them.

“Hey, stop, why are you running off,” he called out. He is also getting quite close to her.

It was as if they are filming a drama. However, Zi Mei doesn’t intend to be the slutty female lead being chased down the street by two handsome male protagonist.

She stopped suddenly causing Thorin Loong and Damon King to almost crash into her. Damon stumbled to a stop while Thorin was just a mere few inches from her.

“Can both of you leave me alone? I am not interested okay?” she told them.

“Oh the nerve! I would have chosen Thorin Loong any second,” she heard a girl said out loud.

She turned to glare at the girl, whom she recognised as one of Damon King’s ‘fan club’ but she couldn’t remember her name. The girl  – she has long curly hair with pink streaks in it and a sexy figure 8 body – narrowed her eyes at Zi Mei and flipped her hair arrogantly. She stepped out of the crowd and boldly came up to Thorin Loong.

“Mister Loong, she is a loser, I will do anything you want me to do,” she offered, placing a coquettish hand on his lapel. She fluttered her eyelashes at him seductively. “I am Mia, I can do anything,” she whispered.

“Well, looks like you have your hands full,” Damon drawled, raising an eyebrow at Mia and then giving Thorin Loong a smirk. He turned to Zi Mei.

“Come, let me walk you home,” Damon offered, going up to her and offering her his arm.

Zi Mei stared at Damon’s arm as if it was diseased and shrank away from him.

“I told you I am not interested in you,” she told him coldly. From the corner of her eyes, she was trying to see how Thorin Loong was reacting to Mia.

He had cordially moved away from Mia and told her coolly that he is not interested. Zi Mei was relieved. For a moment, she thought he will take up Mia’s offer. She noticed Thorin Loong looking at her so she quickly turned and started walking away again.

“Hey Tan, I promise I won’t do anything you don’t like,” Damon is now walking alongside her. She can’t help but noticed that Thorin Loong is no longer following her. She was tempted to turn and look back to see if he had left but she controlled herself.

She was supposed to be avoiding him! And this Damon King too. Why is he following her?

“Look King, I can’t say this enough, go away, I am not interested,” she repeated. She felt like a broken recorder who kept repeating the same lines over and over.

“Well, he’s gone so you can stop running,” Damon King said, making no attempt to stop following her.

Before she could stop herself, she turned to look and sure enough Thorin Loong is no longer following her and his car was also gone. Disappointment rose within her. She tried to stop feeling upset about it. She did tell him to go away and he did exactly what she wanted.

“Oooooo…what’s that face…I thought you were avoiding him? Looks like you were making him chase after you,” Damon King remarked.

She glared at him.

“Why are you still following me?” she asked. They had reached the bus stand where she takes the usual bus back home. She stood behind a queue already forming there. Her bus should be here soon.

“What? I am here to take the bus, it’s not illegal to take a bus right?” Damon King replied. He stood behind her as if joining the queue.

Zi Mei knows he is lying. She has not seen him take this bus route yesterday. It can’t be a coincidence that he takes the same bus route as her. He is probably following her.

“Whatever. Just don’t talk to me,” she told him. She turned away from him and ignored him. She took out her phone and texted Jazzmine and Sheena through their group chat until the bus came.

She boarded the bus without looking at Damon King and she was glad that there were no available seats and it was rather crowded. At least he won’t try to find some excuse to sit next to her.

A few other girls from college takes this bus route too and they obviously recognised Damon King. A couple of them were giggling and one of them started talking him the moment they were squeezed together in the crowded bus. Zi Mei took that opportunity to move to the back of the bus, near the exit. She could see the girl giggling and flirting with Damon King while he had a long-suffering patient look on his face.

She almost giggled in glee while thinking ‘serve him right’. It will not be easy for him to get rid of the clingy flirtatious girl. She quickly got off, a few stops before hers, the moment she thinks his attention was on the girl. She doesn’t mind walking a bit more, as long as Damon King didn’t follow her home.

Zi Mei trudged back home, feeling as if she had fought in a battle. Why is it so tiring to avoid people? What is it that new guy wants from her? He had told her that he wasn’t interested in her and yet he had followed her and worse, took the same bus as her too.

When she walked up the street to her home, she was not even surprised to see Thorin Loong’s car and the man standing casually outside her home. She felt a thrill of excitement and pushed it down immediately. She was not supposed to be excited to see him! However, it looks like it will not be easy to shake him off.

Zi Mei walks up to Thorin Loong and stood before him.

“What do you want from me? I told you to leave me alone,” she said.

“I want you back, I think we can make it work,” he said without preamble.

“I told you I am not interested,” she replied although her heart tripping over itself was saying otherwise.

“How about you give us a chance?” he suggested. “How do you know it won’t work if you don’t even want to give us a chance?”

“Look, I didn’t say it won’t work…I just don’t want to…it is way too complicated for me…you, dragons, demons, the supernatural…I mean do I need to carry salt and a bottle of holy water with me everywhere I go??” she asked.

Thorin Loong threw his head back and laughed. He run his hand through his hair and somehow, that made Zi Mei want to do the same, bury her hands in his thick luscious hair.

“Lil Zi, let’s just date like normal mortals, I pick you up from college, we go on dates, dinner, movies, the works,” he said. He took a step towards her. She could feel his body heat and her traitorous heart is already flipping over itself.

“I promise, I will not do anything that you don’t consent to,” he murmured huskily, placing a gentle finger under her chin to tip her head up to his. He bent as if to kiss her and her heart almost stopped.

“Nothing you don’t like…” he whispered a mere few inches from her lips. Zi Mei could feel her eyes closing and her lips parting, ready to feel his lips on hers.

The kiss never materialised. He removed his finger and stepped back.

“I won’t kiss you if that is not what you wanted,” he said, amusement colouring his voice.

Her eyes snapped open and she looked at him aghast. Did she just lean over and wait for him to kiss her? Oh her traitorous body! She cleared her throat uncomfortably and stepped back from him. She smoothed her clothes unnecessarily, doing something with her hands to distract herself.

“Well?” he asked. For a fleeting moment, she wondered if he was asking her if she wanted him to kiss her then she realised he was waiting for her answer to his question about going on dates.

This is Thorin Loong, the handsome CEO and magical dragon. Surely dating him will not be all that bad?

“Okay, maybe we try dating for three months?” she conceded finally.
