Teach Me To Hate You - Chapter 19

Few hours later, Lu Yang woke up with a splitting headache and images of what had transpired earlier flashed in his head.

His heart squeezed when he remembered the fear in her eyes at his touch, he so much disliked that.

Sitting up he glanced at the woman by the desk working tirelessly even with glasses she looked stunning, his eyes fell on the blanket she had used to cover him and he smiled painfully, wishing she can care for him with an ulterior motive.

Walking up to her he went round and gave her a back hug startling Mei Ling.

“Thank you”he kissed her neck and this made Mei Ling jittery, he had kissed her neck multiple times before he had even kissed her on the lips whenever they went clubbing and a man kept insisting on being with her but now it felt different.

She knew he mistook her for the woman he liked but now that he had kissed her and the way he looked at her she felt like it was her but she wanted to believe it wasn’t.

Forcing a smile she looked at him ” it’s okay, what are friends for?” Then she scrunched her nose upwards “you reek move away” he chuckled and kissed her cheek.

“I’ll be going now okay?” She nodded.

“Don’t overwork yourself and eat well ok?” She nodded it seems she was wrong it wasn’t her he liked , that’s a relief.

“Lu yang!” He put on his sweater and looked at her while adjusting his hair.

“Hmm?”he mumbled puckering his lips.

“That woman you like……can I meet her?” She tested him and he saw right through.

“Of course pick up a date” he smiled at her and she smiled back, thoughts hiding behind that smile.

“Bye make sure you rest up before going to set , if the director is giving you issues tell me, alright?” He chuckled.

“Bye, I’ll text you!” She nodded and shooed him off before he finally left.

Once the door closed she released a breath she didn’t know she was holding, looking at her wrists they were slightly pink as they hurt from his hold on her, sighing again she glanced at the clock, Lee Ai Bao would be there soon it was a good thing Lu Yang woke up before then.

Right on cue the door opened and Ai Bao walked in with a smile on his face like he did not just postpone a crucial meeting to have lunch with her.

“You’re here!” He nodded and she smiled standing up with her purse he pulled her by the waist and kissed her letting out a sigh, he had been anticipating that since he left her.

“Let’s go…I missed you” he said gazing at her lovingly, she smiled at him.

“I know” he chuckled as he had already anticipated that reply, pulling her hand he was about to drag her along when she winced it was subtle and no one would notice but this was him, he noticed every little thing about her.

“What’s wrong?” In a panicked state she withdrew her hand in an attempt to hide it as the marks were still visible but he caught it in time , she was wriggling but he held her still it was strong but somehow it didn’t hurt her.

“Who did this? How did this happen? Answer me!” He barked obviously pissed that she was trying to protect whoever this was.

“It … its…it’s nothing I fell down the stairs” one thing about Mei Ling was that she was terrible at lying and sometimes even when the lie seemed believable you could easily see through.

“So you’re telling me you fell down the steps and instead of your palm to get hurt or feet it’s your wrist that got hurt instead?” He asked mockery lacing his tone.

“Well…you see… that’s not….well when I fell it got caught in the railings so when I pulled it out it became like this” she stammered finding out to even believe her own lies.

He scoffed”what do you take me for Mei Ling? A fool?” She shook her head.

“I didn’t say that” she replied hurriedly.

“But that’s what those lies mean, forget it…..” Pulling out his phone he called Mr Zhang ” I need all video recordings of the people that went in and out of Mei Ling’s office and every single place her feet stepped into , starting with her office check for someone that grabbed her wrist, I give you thirty minutes” this got Mei Ling anxious of course it was an office there was CCTV in every office including hers.

Infact hers had in every corner as there were important files kept there what if he did find it, he definitely wouldn’t let her inform the IT team to quickly delete she could only hope that she had the best team and no one would be able to hack into it.

She anxiously chewed on her lips praying within that he couldn’t find it , but to her misfortune his phone rang in exactly three minutes , she tried to grab the phone but he saw through and held her waist even if she struggled she wouldn’t be able to leave.

“Send it to my office I’ll check it out when I’m back” he ended the call and entwined his hands with hers walking out the door.

The drive was silent to and fro, dinner included, as Lee Ai Bao was so pissed that she tried to protect the person who did that to her, there was only three people he knew she’d protect that much and her parents were out if it leaving Lu yang.

He just hoped it wasn’t because God helping him….. His kiss was brief and this had Mei Ling worried.

Without a word he left her and zoomed off to the office, it seemed she still underestimated his love for her.

The employees felt chills down their back when Lee Ai Bao returned to the office with such a wicked expression, he oozed of blood thirst and this made the employees stay away, who had pissed him off this much?? Wasn’t he so happy when he left? The suspect was clearly their lady boss but what happened?

Getting into his office, he didn’t waste time to play the video and his expression changed when he saw what had happened, this woman knew how to test his patience so well.
