The Runaway Bride’s Love Story - Chapter 443

Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Bai Yong straightened his coat before walking towards the girl, in steady steps.

Like a statue, Zhang Lili was staring at him in bewilderment. Her feet unmoving.

“What are you crying for?!”

Frowning at the clear drops of liquid rolling down Zhang Lili’s pale cheeks like a broken string of pearls, Bai Yong hissed in irritation.

“What are you doing here?”

Not at all perplexed with the man’s attitude, Zhang Lili questioned him while wiping her tears. Her voice raspy, and throat parched.

Opening the car door, Bai Yong picked up the bottle of water in the passenger seat. He handed Zhang Lili the bottle, there was no change of expression on his cold face.

“Get inside the car..!”

After a beat, Zhang Lili took the bottle, she almost dropped the bottle when he ordered coldly. Her eyes popping out of her skull in muddiness. The man’s expression stormy.

“No.. I.. Okay”

Clenching the bottle of water to avoid it from falling, Zhang Lili shook her head in disagreement. His intense stare making her squirm in discomfiture.

At last, Zhang Lili agreed with slight hesitation.

As the car drove with a stagnant silence, Bai Yong felt increasingly frustrated and uncomfortable. His gaze darting to Zhang Lili from time to time.

Zhang Lili sat in a daze. The wet saltiness on her cheeks glistening in the sunlight. She looked delicate like a washed flower petal in the summer rain.

“Aren’t you hungry? It’s already 3 in the afternoon.. What do you want to eat?!”

Trying to distract her, Bai Yong cleared his throat awkwardly as he said. He sounded abnormally stiff, almost robotic. Zhang Lili bit her lip to stop herself from breaking out in laughter.

The only girl Bai Yong’s ever placated is his late sister, Bai Yue. Hence the man has no idea how to talk to other girls. Liu Li is an exception, cause he’s not on good terms with her nor does he fancy her.

In his eyes, Liu Li just a tool, a medium for Bai Yong to let out his sexual desires and torture her, as revenge for his sister’s pain.

Nodding her head, Zhang Lili’s hand went to rub her toned tummy surreptitiously with hunger in her gaze. She hadn’t ate a morsel since she woke up, this morning. And was totally famished.

Pursing her lips, Zhang Lili thought for a ful minute before replying, her gaze darting to Bai Yong’s dark face. She had no idea that his trembling heart was about to jump out of his mouth. She assumed that he’s angry at her.

“I.. I want spicy sichuan food!”

Turning to face Zhang Lili, Bai Yong had a frown coloring his already terrifying and cold front. His words a complete opposite to his scary expression.

“Are you sure? You’d get an upset stomach after eating that much oil and spicy food first thing in the day!”

As though she didn’t hear him, Zhang Lili was looking straight ahead with a dismal grin. It was saddening.

“I want to drinks too.. Let’s drink alcohol!”

Frustration filled the man’s gaze as he barked at Zhang Lili. She flinched at the harsh tone.

“Are you even listening to me?!”

Instead of crying, Zhang Lili unhurriedly put down the water bottle on her lap in front and glared at Bai Yong. She tried to open the car’s door as she said softly.

“If you’re not going.. Then drop me here. I’ll go on my own!”

No emotion could be detected from Zhang Lili’s tone. The feeling was bitter.

“Fine! Sit properly..”

Adjusting his spectacles, Bai Yong huffed exasperatedly as he approved Zhang Lili’s request. His icy glare on her hand holding onto the door’s handle.

Adjusting the flowy skirt of her long black dress, Zhang Lili sat straight. Staring ahead with a hint of desolation in her watery gaze.

Trying to ignore her presence, Bai Yong’s fingers tightened around the steering, his heart as though pierced with a thousand needles. He was secretly feeling useless for not being able to console the woman he’s come to love.

It was half past 6 in the evening.

As the sun dipped itself below the horizon, fleeting colors of dusk faded away creating a beautiful portrait.

Feeling out of sorts, Lucifer had come back home early from his office. Mild signs of fatigue, and light dark circles under his bewitching gray eyes.

As Lucifer had attended series of meetings today with the shareholders regarding the monthly profit, and other new projects like Callista’s company’s project etcetera. His body really needed a break. Especially after being administered with a nearly fatal drug the other night.

The moment the man dropped his body on the couch, his eyes shut close and he fell into a deep slumber. His handsome face peaceful and breathing even.

The ever alert Lucifer didn’t seem to notice anything amiss as he slept soundly, like a baby. His pale face regaining it’s original color.

Attired in a pristine white shirt, and a blue coat with matching trousers, Lucifer was looking suave and noble, even in his sleep. His thin lips pursed lightly were seductive, his poreless skin shone under the dimmed lights of the living hall resembling an angel in the mortal world.

After a long while, a petite figure cast a shadow on the fast asleep Lucifer, covering his vulnerable self gently with a duvet. There was a bright twinkle in the intruder’s obsidian-dark eyes, like the brilliant stars in the night sky. The tender smile on those ruby red lips alluring.

“Aaaahhh!!”

Suddenly, the man extended his hand to yank the lean wrist of the person leaning onto his body, to cover him. The shadow landed straight on Lucifer’s chest with a loud shriek.

A devilish smirk danced about Lucifer’s lips as the soft body hit against his hard muscles like a sack of cotton. The sensation heavenly.
