It was already morning by the time Ba Yue got home with the two new girls, whom will be her personal guard/maids. Upon entering the Ba residence, Xi Xi who's her maid was rushing out to see her.
"Young Miss, where have you been? I went to look for you in your room but you're not there again! And why are you dressed like that?"
"I'm not a child anymore and I'm strong enough to protect myself. I just went out to do my usual training and these are just my training clothes. Why are making a big fuss so early in the morning?"
"Young Miss, it's not that I'm making a fuss, but you have guests."
"Who? is it Lok Son again? If it is, then there's nothing to worry about since he's here all the time."
"Yes, young miss. His Highness, the 7th prince is indeed here again. But someone else also came early this morning, it's Li Dong Man! They are currently both in the main living room. Master didn't want to get involved so he's in his studies."
"What? That shameless man is here again? What does he want so early in the morning?"
"I have no idea, maybe he wants to get closer to young miss now since you have become popular. And who're these two girls behind you?" Asked Xi Xi as she looks at the two girls behind Ba Yue.
"These two are Han Yan and Han Chu, they will be my personal maid from now on. You can bring them to the room that is close to my bedroom and can also show them around. I will go over to see what Li Dong Man wants." Said Ba Yue as she gave the two girls the eye signal to follow Xi Xi.
"I understand, young miss. I will take care of them." Xi Xi took the two girls to their room while Ba Yue headed to her bedroom to change out of her black clothes into something normal. She then goes to the main living room to see what that shameless man wants.
Upon arriving at the main living room, Ba Yue can hear Li Dong Man and Mak Lok Son talking.
"Ah Yue, where did you go so early in the morning?" Asked Li Dong Man as rushes up to her as soon as he sees her walking into the room. Mak Lok Son also rushes up to Ba Yue too.
"Young Master Li, I have told you before that we are not close. Please do not call me by my name, especially in front of my fiance!"
"Little Yue, good thing you came back. Tell this man to leave, I don't like him! He said he's your friend, but I don't believe him. I also don't like how he makes it sound like you two are very close." Said Mak Lok Son, as he stares angrily at Li Dong Man.
Ba Yue patted Mak Lok Son on his head and said," Don't believe anything he says, he is just an acquaintance. Don't worry, I like you more than him. And I missed the food you make, can you go make me some food?" Asked Ba Yue. She just wanted to make an excuse to get rid of Mak Lok Son so she can talk openly to Li Dong Man. She didn't want Lok Son to worry too much about her.
"I will so get going now. I'm very hungry!" Said Ba Yue, as she rushes Lok Son out the door. Once Mak Lok Son left, she turns her attention to Li Dong Man.
"What do you want from me?" Asked Ba Yue in a very cold tone and with an expressionless face.
"Ah Yue, what happened? You aren't like this before. You used to call me Brother Dong Man sweetly before and likes to hang out with me. We are very good friends. Did I do something wrong to make you mad?" Asked Li Dong Man in a concerned voice.
He had no idea why Ba Yue treated him this way. She used to follow him everywhere he goes and she will express the love she had for him on her face. Is it because I didn't come to visit her when she was in a coma? Or is it because the rumors of him going out with Tang Wen Yi? thought Li Dong Man. But no matter what, he had to get back on her good side. And there are many reasons for that!
Tang Wen Yi is currently giving him the cold shoulder. Ever since the annual martial art competition, she's mad at his younger sister which also led to her being mad at him too. Just when he smoothes thing over with her, somehow the news of him and the 2nd prince came to visit Ba Yue the day after the emperor's banquet leaks. He tries to explain his way out of it, but she wouldn't listen. The best way to get her forgiveness is to give her a nice present.
But most of the presents that he has received from Ba Yue before have already been given to her. There are a few pieces left, but he likes those and doesn't want to give it away. It is times like these that he will think of Ba Yue!
Another reason he wants to get on Ba Yue's good side is that Ba Yue will eventually marry the 7th prince. The 7th prince is the emperor's favorite son, it will be great if he can get her to help him to get on the royal family's good side.
Plus since Ba Yue is so beautiful now, he also wants her to have a relationship with her. That way he can have the beauty and all the benefits that come with it. And at the same time, he can still marry Tang Wen Yi and have her family's support.
Since the perverted playboy 2nd prince is currently still being grounded, it's best to get Ba Yue now. The 7th prince is an idiot, so he won't know what's going on, thought Li Dong Man. He thinks he's a genius with his plans. But what he didn't know is that the current Ba Yue is not the same as the previously Ba Yue. She's not going to fall for his plans. With just one look, she already knew he is up to no good.
"Li Dong Man, you are too shameless. You are currently dating Tang Wen Yi, and you still dare to show up here." Said Ba Yue.
"Ah Yue, those are just rumors. Tang Wen Yi and I are just normal friends, we are friends too. Please don't be mad at me for not coming to visit you before, I really didn't know you had an accident. I know you still care about me, Ah Yue. I know you like me and I also like you. We can still be together."
"The old Ba Yue might like you, but the current me does not like you at all. You think I didn't know anything. I have already heard that during my coma, not only you didn't come to visit me once. You actually went on dates with Miss Tang and have been getting very close to her. Since you like her, then stick with her, do NOT come here to bother me."
"Ah Yue, it's not what you think, Tang Wen Yi and I ….."
Before Li Dong Man can finish his sentence, he was cut off by Ba Yue.
"Li Dong Man, don't treat me like an idiot anymore! Let me tell you why I got in an accident in the first place. That day I was going to look for you but saw you went out with your friends to a teahouse. I eardrop and heard your conversation about how much you like Tang Wen Yi and how you used the presents I gave you to get Tang Wen Yi to go on dates with you.
You also mention how disgusting and fat I was, and that you are sick and tired of me. I was so heartbroken that I ran out of the teahouse to go back home. On my way home, because of my tears, I didn't see the horse carriage coming and got hit by the horse carriage. Thanks to you, the old me died! I have reborn as the current me and train hard to change myself. And this is all thanks to your cruelty toward me!"
Li Dong Man is shocked! He can't believe Ba Yue actually heard everything he had said that day and it was because of that, she got into an accident!
"Ah Yue, I'm very sorry! I was wrong, I really didn't mean it back then. Please forgive me, I'll do anything you say. Please, just give me another chance!" Li Dong Man is using almost like a begging tone of voice right now. He can't let it end like this, he still needs her.
"Oh…..I'll give you one chance. If you can return all the gifts I have given you before back to me. And also completely break it off with Tang Wen Yi, then I might consider being your friend again. Otherwise, don't come here to bother me again."
"Ah Yue, I ..." Before Li Dong Man can say anymore, Mak Lok Son has come back.
"Little Yue, why is he still here? The food is ready, I made all your favorite food. And I will not give him any of the food. I only made the food for you and my father in law!" Mak Lok Son especially said "my father in law" in a slightly louder tone of voice, he wants Li Dong Man to know Ba Yue is his bride!
"Oh Great, the food is ready! Don't worry, he's just leaving now, right?" She is giving Li Dong Man's it's the time to leave look.
"Ah Yue, I won't give up that easy." Said Li Dong Man. He then left without saying anything more. There's really nothing he can't say right now. There's no way he can break it off with Tang Wen Yi since Ba Yue has to marry the 7th prince and can't marry him. And he doubts Tang Wen Yi will give back all the presents he gives her back to him, so he can give it back to Ba Yue. Even if Tang Wen Yi will give it back to him, he doesn't want to give it back! He'll leave for now and think up of a plan later.
"Come on Lok Son, let's go eat. I'm hungry and can't wait to eat your food," said Ba Yue. She left first while Lok Son follows behind her.
Ba Yue wasn't able to see the cold expression Mak Lok Son has on his face since she's walking in front of him. Not only is his facial expression is cold, but he also had killing intent in his eyes. He actually came a lot earlier than Li Dong Man and has already made breakfast. He knew Ba Yue only want to make an excuse to get rid of him so she can talk to Li Dong Man. So he purposely left and told the kitchen staff to heat up the food and then came straight back to eardrop on them.
He had previously heard rumors about how Ba Yue likes Li Dong Man and also follows him around. He was worried that she still likes him, but he can't believe what he had just heard. That bastard Li Dong Man had used and treat his precious Little Yue like dirt. There's no way he can't forgive him. If Li Dong Man has a death wish, he doesn't mind giving him a helping hand.
When he heard Ba Yue said that she will give Li Dong Man a chance, he knows she's not serious. But he still didn't want to give Li Dong Man a chance to reply. There's no way in hell he would ever give Li Dong Man or any other men a chance to come close to his Little Yue!
