No Where To Run: Trapped With My Archenemy - Chapter 69

As per Wan Yi Jun’s order’s, Ming Yue waited in the central square of the imperial city, so that they can go to Wisteria gardens together.

Since Kousuke and Yojiro got to know about Ming Yue’s real identity, it was a bit easy for her to make them convince why she must move into Wisteria gardens. Even though they have volunteered to drop her at Wan Yi Jun’s house, Ming Yue said she would go alone so that her brothers won’t run into any police officers and create more trouble.

Although Yojiro has given Ming Yue’s contact number to the police officer, they haven’t contacted her yet, giving them a chance to keep their relationship hidden.

However, little did Ming Yue know that her brothers were secretly following her to ensure her safety.

After waiting for more than fifteen minutes at the regular spot where she used to wait for Wan Yi Jun, Ming Yue’s eyes fell on the familiar car that suddenly stopped in front of her.

In a glimpse moment, the car’s front door got open and Wan Yi Jun’s

“I hope I didn’t make you wait for so long.”

“No, not at all.”

“Oh, what happened to your hand?”

“It happened while I was doing something in Kitchen.”

“Did you go to the hospital?”

“Yes.”

“Give it to me.”

“No, no…I can carry it.”

“It’s alright.”

“Master, are you free today?”

“Huh, well, tomorrow is Sunday, so yeah…I’m free if there is no emergency.”

“Your house party is also tomorrow, Nah?”

“Yes. Shouldn’t we go grocery shopping?”

“What all things do you want to include in tomorrow’s menu?”

“You are injured, how will you cook with that hand?”

“It is not that bad, I still got one fine hand.”

“How about we make barbeque?”

“Barbeque for lunch?”

“Hmm. Still, we need to make other dishes.  How about fried scallops, pasta and something sweet?”

“Just keep it short, miss Ming. I don’t want to burden you.”

“This is not a burden for me, master.”

“Will you please not call me master in public?”

“Okay, Mr Wan.”

“Wow, that’s even worse…call me by my name.”

“You are older than me, master. But calling you gege would be even weirder.”

“What did you say? Gege.”

“Wan Yi Jun, should we get the big packet of rice or the small one?”

“Let’s take the big one.”

“What are you doing, Yue. Your hand is injured, let me do it.”

“Look at that couple, that young man doesn’t even let his wife carry the shopping cart and look at you,”

“They are in their honeymoon period, that’s why they are acting like that.”

“This is why we shouldn’t drop honorifics when we are outside.”

“Miss Ming, how about we have dinner somewhere and go home?”

“Didn’t you say that you never eat dinner?”

“I haven’t eaten anything, and I barely have the energy to drive.”

“Then, let’s go and eat.”

“Wait here, I will go and get the car.”

“Miss, your husband seems really nice…”

“No, ma’am, we are not married.”

“Why are you waiting then, men like him won’t find you anywhere. It is better to tie the knot.”

“That old woman, what’s she even saying? My Nechan is an engaged woman.”

“Why are you blaming her, look at Nechan, she could’ve denied it. But-”

“This is not going to end well.”

“Maximum five or six people are coming. Will you be able to manage it, or should I order food somewhere else?” Wan Yi Jun doubted for a minute when he thought about the hassle Ming Yue had to go through if he asked her to cook for everyone.

“How do you…”Chao Xiong couldn’t even hide his shock when he heard Ming Yue spilling the truth that he kept hidden from everyone. Not even his co-workers knew about his wife or his mother.

“I thought you were a bit more strong-willed, Chao Xiang.” Ming Yue flatly said as she leaned on the kitchen counter, judging the man who stood before him.

Chao Xiong, on the other hand, felt his limbs weren’t moving as per his wish, as if someone had tied his feet.

“So, Chao Xiong, who was it?” Ming Yue asked while looking directly into Chao Xiong’s agitated eyes. Even before Chao Xiong could figure out what was happening, he felt an ice-cold sensation on his neck.

It was the same knife she used a moment ago.

“Who taught you that women were nothing but gold diggers?” Ming Yue asked while keeping the sharpened edge of her knife on Chao Xiong’s neck.

“Father….it was…my father…” Chao Xiong answered in a broken voice as he even feared to take a breath.

“Ah…I thought so…” She gave an attentive nod and took the knife away from his neck,

The moment, she took the knife away from him, Chao Xiong quickly stumbled back and almost hit the cold wall.

“Were you scared, Chao Xiong?” Ming Yue jokingly asked while spinning the knife with her hands as if she was playing with it.

However, even after hearing her affirmation, Chao Xiong couldn’t move from the spot. How he wished to run away from this horrifying woman.

He was cursing at the moment he chose to ignore his friend’s words and come looking for this woman.

Isn’t it too much to ask for love?

After his wife left, Chao Xiang tried to restart afresh and live a new life, but he never imagine that things would take a different turn like this.

“Don’t worry. I will not kill you. I was just checking how brave you are,” Ming Yue took a few steps away from the man so that he could take a breath.

“Why are you silent, Chao Xiang?” She  said while aiming the knife at him with a face full of smiles,

“I…I…made a mistake… I won’t…” Chao Xiong immediately lunged down to the ground and rubbed his palms together as if he was praying for his life.

“Of course, people make mistakes, dear. But you are not allowed to generalize everyone with one person’s mistake.” She preached like a person who had seen enough world to advise others.

“I understand…I will never call anyone…bitch…I will never…”

“I know that you grew up in a problematic family, but that doesn’t mean that you have to follow it until your death…You can change…if you are willing…you can change.”

“I will change.” Chao Xiang assured while kneeling on the cold floor,

“But whatever you said about my young master was absolutely wrong.”

“I was wrong, miss…I apologize for spewing nonsense about your master.”

“What about cheating on my fiance?” She asked with a gentle smile adorning his gorgeous face, “My tiger might be a little possessive, but he never doubts me.”

“I’m sorry…sorry…please let me go…I won’t …I won’t follow you anymore…I will leave today, this moment itself.”

“Oh if you leave now, then who will complete the works, Chao Xiang? Stay and finish the work,”

“I will…I will.”

All of a sudden, the sudden voice of a car’s engine was heard from the outside.

“Huh, it seems like my master is here. So dear Chao Xiang, keep your secret with me, and I hope you do so.”

“I will…”

“I would know if you spill a word about me.”

“I won’t…”

“Leave!”

As soon as the moment he got permission, Chao Xiang almost jumped to his feet and ran out of the kitchen, holding his life in his hands.

However, unfortunately, the very instant he stepped inside the living room, he ran into Wan Yi Jun who just returned home after pulling out an all-nighter.

“Who are you?” Wan Yi Jun’s eyebrows knitted together in doubt when he saw a panicked man running out of the kitchen.

“He is on the electrical maintenance team, master.” Ming Yue’s voice was heard from behind, sending chills down Chao Xiang’s spine. She walked towards Wan Yi Jun as if nothing had happened over there and greeted him with a gentle bow.

“Oh…I thought the renovation works were over.” He replied while glancing across the giant stairway that leads to the first floor.

“Yes, it is over. There is some lighting and security system works are left to do. Other than that everything else is done and you are free to throw a housewarming party anytime.” Ming Yue spoke on the behalf of Chao Xiang who was left speechless at the sight of the young man who stood before him.

So this is the young master of this house,

Even though the master of the house was younger than he had imagined, the power and elegance that Wan Yi Jun owned was something that could justify the reason why Ming Yue was acting crazy.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Wan Yi Jun gave a gentle nod and allowed the other to leave the room,

“Master, are you going to wash up or should I make breakfast for you?” Ming Yue asked as soon as they were left alone in the living room,

“I will go and wash up, miss Ming.”  Wan Yi Jun said as he walked towards his bedroom,

And when he came after a quick shower, Ming Yue has already served hot breakfast in the dining room.

“Thanks for cleaning up the mess in my room, miss Ming.” He thanked her even before he sat down at the dining table.

“Master, actually, I want to ask if you want to shift to another room. As you have mentioned earlier, apart from one room on the first floor,  everything else was restored. So if you want to move, it’s the best time.”

“There is a room in the south side of the mansion, opening towards the Wisteria garden. I will take that room. What about you? Have you discussed with your house owner that you are moving out?” Wan Yi Jun inquired while taking a bite from the steamed buns.

“I have told my house owner that I’m moving out.”

“Hmm… Actually, I have a favour to ask.” Wan Yi Jun hesitated for a moment when he saw her tired eyes. When he came from work, he didn’t realize that she was looking a bit under the weather. However watching his room tidy than before, he understood that Ming Yue has worked hard to make into more habitable.

“I know you might be tired, but some of my colleagues want to come over for a party. If you are not feeling good, we can do it some other time.” Wan Yi Jun honestly said.

“Are you going to throw a winning party? Did you solve the murder mystery?” Ming Yue sounded excited when she heard him mention the party. If he had solved the mystery then that means her brothers are free from susception.

Ming Yue asked with a picture of a person in her mind,

Hearing her question, Han Ze Min’s face flashed in Wan Yi Jun’s mind all of a sudden.

“Don’t worry.. Someone with allergy won’t be joining on any party that happens in this house.”
