The Assassin’s Enemy Lover - Chapter 564
564 Ming Ming, the little swindler
AN: I have been writing these family chapters to compensate you for the pain and suffering from the several separations before. I truly hope you like them. Happy reading.
Zi Han peeked through the thick hedge and saw that Leo Lin wasn’t officially out of the game yet so he chuckled softly before throwing the water balloon over the hedge.
Like a bomb dropping from the sky, it descended upon him and with a loud pop he was out immediately. Grandpa Lin blew the whistle and shouted, “Leo, you are out.”
“Damn,” he cursed while looking at the maze with resentment.
Zi Han was about to get up and run because he knew someone would find him soon when saw a someone standing behind him. His heart jolted as he cursed, “Fuck… where did you come from?”
Behind him was Ming Ming standing there like a creepy girl in a horror movie. His senses were sharp but for some odd reason, he failed to sense her presence. Zi Han nervously glanced at the blue water balloon in her hand and asked, “Why didn’t you end me?”
The answer was obvious of course. “Because I want saozi to win. I can tell you where dage is if you like?” she said ready to sell out her entire team.
Zi Han squinted his eyes with some suspicion. The Yi kids were nice but nice for a price in certain instances. Looking at who their father was it was easy to understand why.
“Okay, tell me. What would you like?” he asked and Ming Ming showed a hurt expression before saying,
…..
“Am I such a person in your eyes,” uttering the same line as her mother said before with her hand on her chest?
Zi Han raised his brow and Ming Ming finally stopped acting. Damn, how did her in law know her too well?
“I want to go to a concert for the Kao boys but mum said no. Will you take me?” she asked and Zi Han who had no idea who these Kao boys were asked,
“When?”
Ming Ming smiled and said, “Next weekend. I promise I won’t leave your sight. She won’t say no if you ask.”
Zi Han crossed his arms on his chest and sighed before saying, “Fine. I will ask her, now where is your older brother.”
Ming Ming giggled happily before whispering a location and running off like she hadn’t just sell out her teammate. What both of them didn’t realise was that Ming Ming had played both of them.
Yi Chen had told her to tell Zi Han where he was but not make it so obvious and in return he would give her a gift card to her favourite plushy store. She didn’t agree because she wanted merchandise for the Kao boys instead.
This wasn’t the first time he heard about them because she had mentioned them before and she had been trying to convince their mother to take her there. He just didn’t think she was that much of a die hard fan.
He agreed and she ran off only to swindle a concert out of Zi Han after that. If Lin Ruoxi knew her daughter was just like her she would probably have let her husband raise her.
Zi Han looked up and saw the tree house Ming Ming was talking about but it was all the way across the maze. He braced himself and ran over in that direction. Along the way, he saw his father in law and mother in law in a heated battle that seemed unending.
Unwilling to intervene he ran off and climbed up the tree house. He found Yi Chen on the other side with a water balloon in his hand aiming at who knows who.
“You do realise if she finds out it was you she will hold a grudge? You would have to sleep with one eye open.
Yi Chen who was expecting him put away his smile and pretended to be surprised. “How did you find me?” he asked while holding that water balloon as though ready to throw it at him.
Zi Han put on a seductive smile and walked over to him in slow strides while saying, “You want to hit me with that? I thought you loved me.”
Yi Chen, “…”
Oh, he was fully aware of what Zi Han was doing but he couldn’t extricate himself. His adam’s apple rolled as he stared into those alluring eyes.
Zi Han crouched down before him and caressed his face with his fingertips while saying, “Instead of this I have something I would rather be doing.”
Yi Chen’s eyes closed leisurely as he whispered, “Like what?”
Zi Han’s lips brushed past his while whispering, “Like this,” before kissing his lips.
Just as their lips touched Zi Han slowly took the water balloon in his hand and pressed it on Yi Chen’s back before abruptly getting up with a smug look on his face.
Yi Chen, “…”
If he let him go then his surname wasn’t Yi.
He grabbed Zi Han’s arm and pressed him against the wall of the tree house and placed his hand on Zi Han’s neck raising his chin and forcing him to look up at him. Their eyes met and as though tied together by an electric current they mirrored their pupil movements.
Zi Han’s lips quirked into a smug smile as his lower lip touched the tip of Yi Chen’s thumb.
“You lost,” said Zi Han and Yi Chen glanced at his thumb that was rubbing against Zi Han’s lips.
“Then let me give you a reward,” he whispered before kissing his lips fiercely. That tree house lost its purity because of these two.
While they were canoodling in there, Yeoh Jun was dodging his wife’s merciless attacks. “You better admit defeat!” she said but in truth, she was running out of water balloons. Who would have thought Yeoh Jun would use his ability to open portals to run away from her? After several near misses, she could only turn to manipulation.
As she stood at the heart of the maze she called out to him but Yeoh Jun remained silent. Ming Ming who so happened to be running away from Yi Youxi ran into her. Before she could put on a pitiful act Zi Xingxi threw it at her startling Ming Ming.
Ming Ming wanted to complain but she heard the whistle and her grandpa saying. “Ming-er, you are out. Come, nana has your favourite cookies,” said grandpa Lin and Ming Ming stomped her feet before turning to leave.
