Chapter 197 - Complicating Things

Hei-Ran was seething with anger but she tried not to make it obvious. She had tried to talk to the psycho but he was trying his best to avoid talking to her because he knew what he did was wrong.

She wasn't going to let this go. How could he do that? He had embarrassed her publicly. He had done that without even asking her. Even if he had a reason he should have informed her first. He had just made things far more complicated than they were supposed to be by announcing to the world that they were engaged. How?!

And why the hell didn't he tell her they were going to a place like that? Why in the devil's name had he bought such an expensive piece, and for who? Hei-Ran had a plethora of questions to ask him, as a matter of fact she was going to pull him by his ear while asking those questions. This was crazy.

Everything was crazy!

How was she going to live if she finds her name on the tabloids by morning? She would be finished. Her family would kill her with their endless questions. This relationship charade was supposed to end in few weeks so why was he making things complicated? And for Christ sake where they going now? She had thought they would be heading home after the auction but again he told her he had something to show her, but where he wouldn't tell her. He was doing this on purpose.

He was riling her up so she would murder him, because she already had the urge to wring his neck. Hei-Ran couldn't bear it any longer. She looked at him as he they rode the elevator.

"Jinhai–"

"Be a little more patient" He interjected her without looking at her.

"No, I can't be patient" She snapped at him. Jinhai hissed inwardly as he lifted his head to look at her. He could see the anger in her eyes as she stared at him but he tried to remain unfazed.

"Okay tell me what you want to say" He paused and looked at the floor the elevator had reached. "And be fast about it" He added in an annoying tone.

His words and tone riled her up even more, "How dare you do that?"

Tilting his head to the side he asked, "Do what?" His tone was nonchalant. Hei-Ran clenched her teeth as she stared daggers at him.

"Jinhai!" She roared irritatedly.

He sighed when he saw her livid look. He took a step closer to her and he noticed how she tensed up.

Jinhai hissed, he raised his finger and touched her brows which were tightly pressed together in anger.

"You shouldn't keep your face like that.

I might fall in love with you if you keep looking this beautiful when you're angry"

"You!" She boiled.

"Shhh.... I'll listen to your rant after I show you this, so just keep it all in and lash out to me later" 'That's only if you'll still be able to' he added in his mind.

Hei-Ran looked at him, she was about to say something when the elevator chimed on arrival. Left with no choice she bit her tongue to keep her anger in. She hissed irritably as she walked ahead of him.

Jinhai shook his head as he walked behind her, he chuckled out when he saw her walk in the opposite direction.

"Hei-Ran, I believe you're going in the wrong direction" He said trying to hide the amused look in his face, but Hei-Ran still saw it. She eyed him from head to toe with stink eyes before turning around and walking to the other side.

Jinhai smiled to himself as he followed behind. He walked to her side and grabbed her hand stunning Hei-Ran. She looked at her hand and she tried to wriggle it away but the wicked man tightened his grip even more.

She looked at him angrily and hissed out. She was going to hold herself for now, but he was definitely going to hear from her after now.

Jinhai looked at her front the side of his eyes. From the crease lines on her forehead he knew she was angry and it made him skeptical if she would like what he had prepared for her. His palms began to feel nervous and his heart was beginning to thump hardly behind his chest.

"We're here" Jinhai nervously said as they arrived the door. He opened the door for her to step in and Hei-Ran gave him a suspicious yet angry look before stepping inside. Jinhai drew in a deep breath and followed in.

The moment Hei-Ran stepped through the door, she froze. Her state of shock heightened when a melodius sound of orchestral music started playing from the side.

She slowly turned her head to look to the side and she saw a band playing some sweet melody from their musical instrument.

She stood to at the spot transfixed as her eyes slowly scanned around the place she was standing in.

It was the roof top of the hotel. A garden like roof top. She never knew such a place existed.

The starry sky, the arrangement of flowers, the dinner table in set there are in a romantic setting.... everything made her hold her breath.

Was this what he had wanted to show her? Was this for her or for someone else? She slowly turned around and looked at him, he was standing there, a nervous glint glistening in his eyes.

"Is this...." She couldn't even say anything as she was too stunned by it.

Jinhai took slow steps towards her, "Do you like it?" He gently asked.

Hei-Ran couldn't help but look around again before nodding her head. Was this for her? She asked herself again and like Jinhai had read her mind he said,

"Then have a date with me" His voice was gentle and soft, his eyes were boring into hers.

Hei-Ran was stunned to hear that. This was really for her?

"This is really for me?" She couldn't help but ask out.

Jinhai smiled when he saw her surprised look. "Too much?" He asked.

Was it too much? No she didn't think so.

It was perfect.

But instead of saying that, Hei-Ran's found herself asking, "Why?" Why was he doing this?

Jinhai's gaze on her suddenly became serious, as he looked eyes with her. He crossed the space between them and he gently brushed his hand through her hair, while taking a whiff of it. She always smelt nice, and he loved it.

"Like I said, I want to raise your standard so no one can measure up." He said in a gentle voice making Hei-Ran look at him I'm confusion.
