Chapter 224 Promise Of Love

CHAPTER 224

He did what needed to be done and in the right way, even at the expense of his health.

Finally, they broke the kiss, pulling back while their eyes still held intense love and emotions in them as they stared sweetly at one another.

"I love you."

"I love you most, Andy."

"Thanks for everything," Andromeda appreciated genuinely.

"Nah. I would do it again and again if I must."

Her gaze turned stern instantly as she rebuked him. "You mustn't, Liu Xueyi."

"Nah. I would. You deserve it all and more."

Andromeda heaved out a deep sigh. Sometimes he could be so stubborn.

"By the way, forgive me for not being there while you woke up. You see, before the first light, I had dressed and then I heard my P. A's voice, outside by the corridor. With such an intense headache I managed to get to him and he took me straight to the hospital."

"No wonder you left without a trace, hmm."

Her cheeks pulled to the right side a bit, revealing a cheeky grin at him. "You ran."

"Yes. However, it was not because I wished to run away. I searched for you Andromeda, to take responsibility for my actions but I couldn't find any trace of you."

"Yes. I suppose Wu Bai had carefully planned the whole situation not to leave any loose ends tying him to that place. Should I ever file a lawsuit against him, this way, he could deny a lot of things."

"Wasn't there anyone who could stand as a witness for you?"

"I doubt. All the people that came for the small party we threw that day were his friends. Besides, he could very well bribe them and they would deny me."

"I know but there are a lot of ways to make people talk. If you ever feel the need to…"

"No," Andromeda held up her hands and stopped him. "No need. In the end, more people would be involved. You, your friends, the hotel staff. So many people. I'd rather forgive them."

"Andy, I do not mind, I can find my way around things for them but just to convict…"

"No." She shook her head severally. He was just clouded by his emotions and did not think clearly, or so she thought.

However, he had thought about these many times.

He wondered if the girl who he slept with that night would ever come back and file a lawsuit if she investigated.

"It was not their fault that I loved an idiot. Actually, I am the idiot for falling in love with that scoundrel. Besides, whenever Wu Bai feels cornered, he would dig."

Liu Xuyei's furrowed his brows even more. The more he heard about Wu Bai the more he hated him.

"Then do not forget he had the full tape. So perhaps having you come in, would be released."

"If he does, he should have the tape of his cheating and conspiracy added. Bingo. I just have to steal the original tape from him one way. Hacking would be useful. I would hack into all his systems."

'What?!"

"Yes. One way or the other, this incident would come in handy while handling his case and the lawsuit with respect to plagiarizing your designs."

The way Liu Xueyi spoke left Andromeda speechless sometimes and the other, more in love with eyes filled with awe.

"I would not let him go for this injustice he had done against you. I promise him that. He is my rival and he insulted my woman. I would bring him down. You have my word."

A subtle smile lit up her face, bringing out her dimple as she stared affectionately at him.

"You know," Andromeda began, showing more of her teeth as her smile broadened. "I was prepared to do this alone; I mean bringing him down and his company."

"I know. I know you are a strong girl, Andy. And I truly admire that. However, you are the woman of my dreams, the only one whom my heart beats for. Your worries are mine. Your problems, mine. I won't let you do so alone anymore."

She pushed forward again, sealing his promise with a kiss before moving back to sit on her legs.

"Thanks. I would need all the help I can get, I guess."

"Sure. I and my friends are at your beck and call for anything you need. If we do not have it, we would see to it that you get it."

She nodded her head in understanding. "Good. At the very least, if there was something Wu Bai did that was ever useful, he made me meet such a pretty woman with a great heart."

A faint blush crept up her cheeks at his compliment. Quickly Andromeda lowered her head, hiding her embarrassment from him.

"You look cute when you are so shy like this, love." She whipped her head up, catching that side smirk of his before it disappeared completely and his face was taken over by a dark sight.

No longer was he smiling. However, the aura that exuded him made her scared.

"Xueyi."

"And for that, I would not let him die. At least not a sweet and painless death."

"Xueyi."

"Yes. I would give him what he truly deserves. Make him a public spectacle, ruin his dearly beloved business and make it crumble while I rebuild it under the Liu Corporation's name. I would ensure all his taken from him and make him grovel on his feet."

Her eyes widened with each word spoken from his taunting thin lips as he stared at her with less emotion.

"He would wish for a quick and painless death but that would be too much for even him."

"I thought you would lessen his punishment for having met me thanks to his trick."

He scrunched his brows at her, as his eyes narrowed further while tilting his head to the left a tad bit.

"Yes. That is why I would rebuild his company under my company or, better still, give it to you."

"No. I do not want anything that has to do with him. I would own my own company and make her grow. Once I am done with him, becoming Queen of the Fashion World is my next goal."

"Great. Nice goal. You can get it done. As of today, I Liu Xueyi promise to be your shield anytime and day while acting as your sword, your battle axe."

Andromeda's heart felt overrun with so many emotions as she was experiencing them from him.

"Thanks. All I need is a companion ready to stand by me through thick and thin. Someone to love, be my pillar, my strength and shield while I become your everything. Someone to love unconditionally."

"You have my word. I swear it to you. I shall be your everything as well, my dear Andromeda."

Her eyes gleamed, as she beamed a loving smile at him. "I love you. Thank you for coming into my life."

"Thank you too, love. With all my heart, I love you."

Smiling brightly at him, Andromeda drew in for a hug, placing her chin firmly on his shoulder.
