The Undefined Love - Chapter 338

Later at night it got very hard for Guang to leave her room and get to her friends. Chen Xing was kept around her to keep an eye, so that she could not get a chance to reach her friends. But her father has always miscalculated her strengths and weaknesses.

After her cousin sister got into her beauty sleep, she slipped out the room to get to Lifen’s room. When she was on her way, suddenly light footsteps were heard in the corridor. She turned around to look if she could find a place to hide herself from the eyes of the person who was coming.

But there was none, not a single corner could help her. She has already braced herself in getting caught when her eyes fell on her father who was coming from the opposite direction.

There was a fury in his eyes when he looked at her. His steps increased its pace as he walked towards her. He was about to lash out on her when suddenly a smooth voice came from behind her. “Ms. Zhou, here I got you a bottle of water”

Zhou Chang Hai’s eyes instantly got softened at the person to whom the voice belonged to. That was none other than Ning Xui Ying. He strutted towards them as if he was there all time and has left for only a few seconds only to come back again.

As he came to her, he handed Guang the bottle of water he had and then looked forward with a little surprise expression. “Mr. Zhou, you are also here?” His words implied as if he wasn’t expecting to see him at this time.

Zhou Chang Hai gave out an awkward laugh as if he didn’t understand his words. “Hahaha … I was just on my way to my room and found Guang out here roaming. The wedding events are on line and will become hectic for her if she doesn’t take proper rest. I never expected that she was out with you”

“Oh! I know you care for your daughter a lot. So I won’t mind the attitude of yours, the moment before when you come dashing towards her so furiously. But this should be the last time you acted this way in front of her. She is going to be my wife soon and I don’t like anyone to give her this kind of attitude”, his voice was soft but not his tone. His eyes were adding the chilly flavor of danger to let him know that the consequences will not be good if the actions are repeated again.

Guang was also dumbstruck at his words. No one has ever sided her in front of her father. She has never thought that she would be protected by him and that too in this severe way. She was sure that she had not talked a single word with him, let alone had a conversation, yet here he was helping her to escape from her father’s wrath.

No, this wasn’t an escape; rather he has come forward to become a shield that will protect her for the rest of the future. Her eyes got fixed on his face as if trying to understand the reason behind his such protective actions. But however she thought she still couldn’t reason it.

To her this was just a marriage fixed by her father to gain some business investments. In that situation, he should be siding with him and asking her where she was going so late at night. But he was still helping her out.

Zhou Chang Hai can now no more show his ignorance when his words were so clean and clear giving a warning to him. “Ah you must have misunderstood my intent towards her. I never tried to scare her or yell at her. But still I will mind my actions in future. You are right, she is going to be your wife. I can’t disrespect her”

He tried to make the things go easy and thought Ning Xui Ying would accept his words but against his thoughts he simply nodded and then said, “If you understood my words then can I have some words with Ms. Zhou alone?”

“Hahaha … sure! How could you interrupt you two. I will take my leave then”, he said hurriedly and left. Guang was here with Ning Xui Ying. How can that be? His daughter would never accept his arrangements that easily then how did she accept coming out with him now?

Was she prepared to ruin his plan by having direct conversation with him?

When her father was no more in the sight, Ning Xui Ying turned to face the woman who was staring at him like he was some mystery and she has got a responsibility to solve it.

“Are you fine?” he asked with concern, looking at her face. He was examining her features to get his answer.

Guang was snapped back to present when he heard him ask that question. Subconsciously, she nodded to his words. “You don’t have to panic like that in future. He would not be able to do anything to you. Be the strong woman like you are in front of outsiders”, he said.

The woman looked up to see his eyes. He was saying that she was a strong woman. How much did he know about her that made him draw such conclusions. “Do you know me? Why did you help me earlier?”, she asked the questions that she had in her mind.

Hearing her sudden questioning words, Ning Xui Ying smiled gently. This smile was much different from the smile he was used to having on his lips when in front of others. Though none of his smile was fake but still the smile he had now at his lips presented a much softer and gentle side of his.

“What do you think? You are my fiancée. Of course I would know you. And about the help, that was my duty, since in the future you would only have me in future to rely on” he said in all confidence.

“I already have someone in my life whom I love” she said, not hiding the most important fact of her life. She thought he might not know this fact and was tricked by her father. But his next words shocked her.

“I know. I know you have someone else in your life and your father is forcing you to marry me”

“Then why are you still marrying me? I would never be able to be honest with you or this marriage even if you forced me into it”, she said. Her eyes were begging him for calling off this wedding.

“I would never force you in anything. Rest assured!! But you are wrong with your words. There won’t be any situation where you can be dishonest in some relationship. Even if you get forced in marrying me, there would be no way you would cheat me. I am very confident with that because dishonesty is not in your nature” he said looking at her, letting her know about herself in a much better way.

His words really touched Guang. At a point she really felt she didn’t know herself in the way he defined her. She stared at the man thinking when did he started looking at her in such a positive light? Was she missing something in the midst.

Suddenly she remembered the key point of his sentence which was important for her. He has said that he won’t force her into this marriage. Does that mean he will call off the wedding? Not holding back her curiosity, she asked, “So you will be calling off the marriage?”

Her excited expression pained him but his smile easily put a facade on his pain. He shook his head, “No I won’t call off this wedding that easily. Though I know you have someone else in your life, whom you still love, I would like to see in what way he is better than me. I want to see and test to see if he was really capable of having you in his life”

“And what qualities do you have to examine him. I know he is good for me and I love him then who are you here to judge him”, his words infuriated Guang.

“Why not? I am your fiancée and I have all right to test him to let go of you. At least that way I would be able to know where I am lacking in your eyes. I must know all that” he said and presented her a smile which made her lose all her reasons.

“Okay fine. I won’t delay you here anymore. Since you are going to meet your friends, I will drop you there. Let’s go” he said as he took a step forward guiding her in the direction of Lifen’s room. But suddenly he felt that the woman was not walking. When tuned to look, she was still standing at the same place, staring at his back in an alienated way

“How did you know I was going to meet them? Don’t you feel that I might be on my way to meet my boyfriend?” she asked to which he simply replied, “I believe you! Now let’s go”
