No Where To Run: Trapped With My Archenemy - Chapter 78

UNEDITED- PLEASE WAIT FOR 1 HOUR

“You want to spar with me?” Ming Yue’s voice sounded elated when she asked to confirm whatever Wan Yi Jun suggested was true or not. If it’s true then it would be the best ever thing that happened in her life.

Sparring with Wan Yi Jun was one among the things that she had looked forward to, from the very first day when she wore the boxing gloves.

Whenever someone tried to buzz of her will by quoting that women won’t be able to overpower the men in fights, she made sure to prove them wrong.

All these years, she sparred only with men so that no one can look down upon her just because she looked physically weaker than her contenders.

When Wan Yi Jun noticed the unknown happiness gleaming in Ming Yue’s face, he wobbled his head to confirm her assumption.

“We can spar…But only when your wounds get healed completely.” He suggested and unknowingly drifted his eyes onto her damp hair,

” By the way, did you take a shower?”

“Hmmm.” Ming Yue agreed without any delay. Of course, she took a shower, thanks to Wan Yi Jun’s extra care towards her injuries. Only she knew how she managed to stay in his bedroom, last night, holding onto the last bit of consciousness. After whatever happened to her in the mansion, she couldn’t fall asleep, wondering about the reason why the “ghosts” in the Wisteria gardens chose to attack her, even though she once lived in this place.

Once the dawn broke, she just went back to her room and slept there.

“What about your wounds? How will it get healed if you carelessly wash it every now and then?” Wan Yi Jun didn’t hesitate to scold Ming Yue who stood before him with an aloof face. Normally people tend to be careful when they get a wound. However, when it comes to Ming Yue, she just seemed to become careless.

“Uffo, master…it will be alright.” Ming Yue tried to cajole a sulky Wan Yi Jun, something she believed that she was bad at. Back at home, she was the one who needs to be cajoled every now and then, because of her austere and rigid personality. However, at Wisteria gardens, she just started to feel that she was taking care of a giant baby who is either sulky or utterly happy all the time.

“It…it… seems fine to me…master, why don’t you go and get ready? We are almost done.”

“Hmm. I will…Ming Yue, do me a favour… please don’t call me “master” while the guests are here.

“Hmm. I will take care of that.”

“Ring, ring.”

“Good afternoon captain-”

“Good afternoon…and please come in…”

“Ahhh thank you….miss-”

“Ming Yue. Yi Jun will be here in a couple- there he is.”

“Good afternoon everyone, and thanks for coming. I hope you didn’t have any trouble finding this place.”

“No captain. It was pretty easy to find out also there was no traffic in this route.”

“Your house looks exactly on the mansion in the game. You should ask for royalties.”

“Do you think he needs royalties to live?”

“Why did you carry it all the way? You should have called me.”

“Please, have it. We don’t have any house help here, it’s just me and Ming Yue and she just injured her hand last night.”

“It’s alright, captain. What’s the need for formalities between us?”

“Sir Lao, please tell me you are not thinking the same thing that was on my mind.”

“Just shut it, Bing Wen.”

“This time, I’m with Xiao Bing. I thought captain lives alone, Nah lives with his cook. But who is this woman?”

“What if she is the cook?”

“Have you ever seen a house owner treat his cook this dotingly and affectionately?”

“Yes. I just saw it.”

“Now, I understood why Captain is so interested to leave work as soon as possible. Miss Ming is living alone in this mansion…woahhh”

“What?”

“They are living alone in this mansion…It’s just them.”

“Good lord, when are you going to stop sticking your nose into someone else’s business?”

“I’m not sticking my nose into captain’s business. I’m just happy that he has finally decided to put his life before anything else.”

“10 dollars, if they are having an affair.”

“You are betting on your superior’s personal life do you know that?

“Of course, 50 dollars if just a house owner and servant.”

“Deal.”

“Don’t you dare to take part in this crazy fit, Senior Fei,”

“No…no…I’m out… I don’t care as long as Captain is happy.”

“That means, he also thinks that

“Master, you said you like someone…” Ming Yue said as she gently covered her naked upper body from Wan Yi Jun’s sharp and curious eyes. “You said that no other woman than her matters to you…then why are you asking me such a thing?” Of Course, the first thing Ming Yue did to answer his counter question was to remind him about his girlfriend and escape from replying with a huge No. However, to her surprise, Wan Yi Jun responded to her reply without changing his aloof and cold demeanor.

“It’s my fault.” He quickly apologized.

“Ofcourse, it is your fault.” Ming Yue quickly agreed to his words as if she was very much interested to find a reason to neglect his demand.

“I do  understand that people tend to waver under the situation, but master, you have someone you like…please stay away from infidelity. It won’t bring you any good-.”

All of a sudden, Wan Yi Jun’s thick eyebrows arched in confusion when he interrupted her in the mid sentence. Well, it wasn’t a difficult task to figure out what Ming Yue was aiming at.

“Infidelity? Miss, please listen to me first.” He walked towards her, but the moment when he recalled the fact that she was half naked. “Well it would be even better if you wear something first.” He said and turned to the opposite direction as if he was giving Ming Yue some time to gather her clothes.

Well, she was being extra careful after watching the lustrous glint in Wan Yi Jun’s face. Ming Yue quickly wore her clothes and cleared her throat as if she was giving him a signal to continue from where he had left behind.

However, still he stood there, facing the white wall instead of turning around,

“Do you remember what I said when you started working here?” Wan Yi Jun gave a simple introduction, before he started explaining the reason for his odd request.

“You will take care of my responsibility.” Ming Yue recited like a parrot and made a vague effort to stand up from the bed, only to collapse again as soon as Wan Yi Jun repeated his intention to sleep with her.

“Yes, so listen to me and sleep with me.” He turned around to look at the girl sitting on the bed and relentlessly spoke without any hesitations.

“But, you said that you don’t have any ulterior motives.” Ming Yue coldly stated without showing the discomfort bubbling inside her mind. Well, she wasn’t expecting any of these conversations, that too with Wan Yi Jun who was once known as Mister Perfect.

“You are hurt, Ming Yue.  That’s why I am asking you to sleep in the same room as me. What if something happens while you are asleep?”

“Same room?” Ming Yue mumbled as she started to contemplate over the issues that she had to face if she shares the room with him. First of all, it would be a huge hassle to keep her lens and sleep. If she removes the lens, then there is no guarantee that she could keep her bi-coloured eyes a secret from him.

“Even if it’s so, I am not sleeping on the same bed as you.” Ming Yue stated as a matter of fact, only to raise a dubious look from the man who stood before her.

“Who said about sleeping on the same bed? I am just worried about you.” Wan Yi Jun corrected her, without emphasizing how she mistook his words, ” It’s the first time you are staying in this mansion and yet you got yourself into two accidents. So, it’s a bit difficult for me to leave you alone tonight and sleep soundly.”

Whether it is because of the honesty resounding in his voice or just because she felt it unsafe to stay alone in the room, after what she had experienced a few minutes ago.

“I agree.” Ming Yue finally made up her mind and asked Wan Yi Jun to lead her to his room, with no delay.

At this moment, Wan Yi Jun’s room was the safest place in the entire mansion and she had no other option, but to spend the night with him.

“You can take the bed, I will sleep on the couch.” Wan Yi Jun suggested as soon as he opened the door to his bedroom,

“You are not curious about the other scars?”

“You have told me that life wasn’t easy for you.”

“I asked someone to do it.”

“Why?”

“Beautiful ones were sent to courtesan houses, ugly ones were sent to brothels and scarred ones, they were sold as slaves.”

“Slave market in this country? When did this happen?”

“Did it make any difference?”

“I asked him to kill me but he just made a laceration to scare off the buyer.”

“Him?”
