30 1.1.30: With Him I

She didn't expect to see Zhou Feng appear at a performance at all! Especially after their last argument, being here was odd. Her eyes looked around even more and widened when she didn't see Zhou Lang. The man had always managed to come to a performance, so why was it that he wasn't here?

Despite the questions roaming in her head, Xiao Yunhua didn't get distracted and let them affect her performance. Once she finished and bid everyone adieu, she slowly sneaked off but bumped into a hard chest. Looking up, it was Zhou Feng giving her a look of amusement despite his cold eyes.

His handsome face was contorted into a playful smile, completely the opposite of his usual, expressionless face.

"Can I help you?" She asked sarcastically, crossing her arms.

"Accompany me to drink away my sorrows."

Xiao Yunhua scoffed, "You're drunk." She didn't word it as a question, but a confirmed statement. Otherwise, how could he giving off the vibe of Zhou Lang? At least, the flirtatious Zhou Lang before they started dating.

Zhou Feng didn't even bother to answer her, instead, gripping her arm and making her follow him. Many people watched the interaction, some even recognizing who Zhou Feng was, while every one of them recognized Xiao Yunhua because she performed earlier.

"Let me go!" She blurted out, annoyed at his behavior. If she didn't have the damned mission to deal with, she would've never even considered such a bipolar jerk. He insults her, then finds her intriguing, then insults her, then finds her intriguing again! It was a never-ending cycle with this man and she once again, questioned the system's sanity for giving her such a target.

<<You do know that you'll have targets that make Zhou Feng pale in comparison.>> Xiao Taotao muttered in her head, in a scolding-manner. Yet it was also a warning to Xiao Yunhua to prepare. Which, truly, it made Xiao Yunhua more scared rather than prepared.

How was she going to make a psychopath fall in love with her if she ever encountered one as her target? She couldn't help but worry about the future. For now though, her attention was completely on Zhou Feng that dragged her outside. The bouncer tried to stop him because he recognized their top entertainer being taken away, but Zhou Feng shot him a cold glare and made him swallow his words before he could utter them.

"Kidnapping?" She voices out dryly, clearly not amused when she saw that they were edging closer and closer to his car. Or what she assumed was his car.

He stopped, finally, and turned around. Maintaining his cold eyes, he chuckled. But his chuckle didn't resound with warmth, but even more coldness. "You know, I've always wondered about those one night stands that my brother always has..." Zhou Feng saw her pale when she understood his meaning. She tried to struggle away, but to no avail. "No worries, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Xiao Yunhua frowned at the attempted, romantic words. She suddenly couldn't help but remember Jiang Rong, her first love. He had always uttered such words to her 'amazing' stepsister while she watched from the sidelines, clutching her romantic novels with envy.

She couldn't help but remember her past life as it hit her like a wrecking ball. Subconsciously, her eyes filled with tears. Seeing that Xiahu Yunhua was suddenly crying, Zhou Feng stopped with widened eyes full of worry.

"Hey, I'm sorry; I was only teasing you!" Zhou Feng muttered awkwardly, but it only made her cry harder. It was like all the emotions of her past life being released at the same time. Slowly, and gently, he wrapped his arms around her to coax and ease her.

She shivered at the contact but remained quiet with small whimpers. Zhou Feng suddenly lifted her and started carrying her princess-style. She didn't struggle and just blankly stared at him with her glistening eyes, full of unshed tears. He placed her in the passenger seat and he himself sat on the driver's seat seat. He began to drive when he saw that she didn't express any negativity or discomfort against going with him.

'Why am I so emotional?' She asked Xiao Taotao in her mind. Surprisingly, the little fairy didn't reply immediately and she didn't get her question answered.

She remained silent on the way while he was driving, preferring to keep her eyes closed, in a way to escape from her wretched reality. At this point, she was a mess. She was sure that her makeup was also a mess because she cried earlier, so she probably looked like some raccoon's long lost cousin.

When he stopped, she finally opened her eyes and saw that they were in front of Magnolia, the area with the most expensive penthouses in the country. With her blank expression, she followed him to the top floor, which was also the best penthouse that Magnolia had to offer.

Once there, she saw that the place was extravagant without a single speck of dust. He walked forward and then stopped in front of a closed door. Turning around, he commanded, "Undress..."
