Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 185

The sun has set. And from where they are, they can enjoy the sunset scenery. Evelyn’s pupil dilates as she watches the outside world with awe. She thought sunrise and sunsets are boring but seeing it with her own eyes had her realize she was so wrong.

At the height and inside the Ferris wheel, the scenery looks too beautiful and her eyes are glued outside the glasss pane.

She has rode on almost every ride present in this park and she hates to admit it but she loved it. The past weeks have been stressinh for her and coming here, it was a stress reliever. She has not laughed this loud coming here and not enjoyed to this extent.

Although she is busy watching the sunset, she is still aware of Junjie’s eyes on her. “It’s beautiful” she muses, trying to divert his attention but his eyes are still on her.

“It sure is” he agrees with her and she thought he is looking at the scene outside but he isn’t. When she turn to face him, he is looking at her with warm eyes which made her heart skip a beat and her cheeks flush.

She quickly turn back, wishing the ride to end soon. It is making her uncomfortable. Minutes later, she finally gets out of the ride and breathes out a sigh of relief. “That was fun. Thanks” she says with a smile, facing him.

Suddenly, two men comes from two direction and stops beside Junjie. She pinches her eyebrows together, confused of their sudden arrival. They aren’t with empty hands, one has a bouquet of white tulips and other has a two gift boxes in his hand.

Junjie takes the bouquet from the man and steps further. Evelyn heart starts to beat because the scene looks very similar when a man proposes to her love.

“Wh-what are you doing?” she blurts, looking at them cautiously.

“I am sorry for being such a dick to you. I was out of my line that day. We are business partners but I took it casually” he pauses, taking a breath. He is nervous. “I sincerely apologize to you, Evelyn Leng. Please forgive me.”

Evelyn is surprised. No one has ever apologized to her in such a grand way. Her heart flutters hearing his sincere apology and she do not realise that she is smiling. “Wow….your way of apologizing sure is grand.” She cannot even say anything without getting stuck. She is impressed, she sure is.

“So you forgive me?” he asks, nervous as hell because if she declines, he will devasted. His hard work wil all go in vain.

She scratches her head, taking her time to say. “I forgive you” she finally says and Junjie has never been so relieved. She is blushing and Junjie is too.

“Thank you so much” he breathes, taking a step ahead and hands her the bouquet. She takes it from his grip, her fingers touching on his hand lightly and the electric current runs to her body.

He whistles and the other man comes forward. He takes the gift boxes from his hold and hands it to Evelyn.

“Hey, they are heavy!” she complains when the boxes appears to fall. He takes it back and orders the man to keep them in the car.

It’s awkward when the both are alone and now that he apologized and she forgive him it’s more awkward. “Well…ummm” she speaks, trying to break this awkwardness. “Were you planning this for days?”

He chuckles and nods. Her eyes widens, “For real?”

“Yes, I know you don’t trust me at all so I had to come with something big and grand to show you I shitty I feel” he says.

She laughs under her breath, “Oh then you did well.”

She then looks at the sky and surrounding which has started to get dark. “We sure spent so big time here.”

“Let me send you home. May i?” he requests, his tone catious.

She takes a moment to think. The hatred she felt for him is now gone. Although she still cannot trust him, going with him is the only option she have. She came with him so it’s only reasonable to go with him back.

“Fine. Do the honours” she sighs and head forwards where the car is parked.

Like a happy puppy, he follows her to the car. This has been a great day for him.

“Why are you here?” Zichen asks, narrowing his eyes at her.

Shi Lian remains unbothered and demands to go inside. “I want to meet him. It’s very urgent.”

Zichen shakes his head, saying a complete no. “You aren’t. The man is dangerous and after what happened last time, you aren’t allowed to go near him.”

Shi Lia rolls her eyes, not caring if that pisses him off. “It’s urgent, Zichen. Please. I came out of the house anyhow without telling my father anything about this. Let me meet him” she urges, pretending to be innocent.

Zichen sighs, rubbing his forehead with his thumb and other fingers. “If I ask what is it, you won’t tell me” he says. She nods, a reluctant nod. “So allow me to come with you because I am no way in hell letting you meet him alone.”

She wants to talk to the man alone without anyone listening to them. If Zichen comes with her, he will know the secrets and he will demand answers from her which she do not want to deal with.

“Please Zichen. It’s between him and me. I cannot tell you right now but when I feel right, I will tell you everything. But for now, please trust me.”

He flexes his jaw, getting frustrated. “I don’t know when that time will come” he mutters.

“What?”

“Fine. You can meet him but I will be watching you outside the room through the glass” he tells her.

Smiling widely, she leans to give him a peck on his cheek. “Thank you. You are the best” she grins and heads forward.

Blushing, Zichen follows her, unable to contain the stupid smile off his face.

Zichen guides her to the creepy man’s room. She has thought about this carefully before making her decision to come here. After watching all the contents on the pen drive, there are questions which are jumbled in her head. Even if she asks her father about it, he will either snap at her making her shut or change the topic. He has never told anything on his own. She either got to know from sources or found out by her own.

Reaching his room, he opens the door. “Careful okay? Press this when you want to be out” he informs her, handing her a small remote button.

She takes it and braving herself, she steps in.

Nervousness wrecks her and she yelps finding the man glaring at her with his bloody eyes.

Upon seeing Shi Lian, the man growls at her. “What the heck you doing here?”

She sucks in air and Braves herself. Moving forward, she pulls the steel chair back and sits on it. She sits opposite to him and she is glad the table is long so that they both are in good distance.

“I am here for answers. You are going to provide me that” she states, not afraid of his looks. She doubts if anyone has washed his face. The blood on his forehead and near his lip is visible and it seems to be dried.

He laughs mockingly, his body shaking. “How are you so sure I answer all your fucking questions?”

“You have to” she says, unaffected. “If you want to stay alive, you have to.”

“Bitch, who are you to threaten me?” he bellows, getting aggressive in his expression.

“My one word can take away your life, so say wisely” she smirks, gesturing with her eyes to where Zichen is standing.

“So now you will complain to your stupid boyfriend?” he taunts sneering at her.

“Cut the crap” he fiercely cuts him off. “Answer the questions and I may think to reduce your punishments.”

He laughs. He do not believe a single word of her. She is good at tricks and he cannot trust her like last time.

“Is Chuanli your real brother?” she drops her first question. His eyes widen and his face twists into fury.

“What do you mean?” he growls.

“You know what I mean. I don’t like to repeat sentences” she retorts.

“Yes, he is my real brother!” he says fiercely in his defense.

“Then why is his surname different from yours, Tingyu Gu?” she bellows, throwing two pictures across the table.

His eyes widen in horror seeing the picture of Chuanli and him. They both are wearing the servant uniforms when they used to work in Mo household.

“How did you get this picture?” he asks, having no idea from where she got the picture.

“From the pen drive of yours” she says in a bitter tone, looking with displeasure.
