Chapter 28 - His Number and A Date

MinFeng woke up. Thinking about what happened last night, he immediately turned his head at his side, hoping that the woman he loved was still sleeping soundly beside him.

But reality hurt. Feng Jiu was not there.

MinFeng sat on the bed while in daze. He never tried to search for her inside the house.

He knew she had already left. She left for good. She left because she hated him. She went away, leaving him all alone with an empty heart.

MinFeng wanted to hurt himself. Thinking how he forced her, he wanted to punch his own face.

When Feng Jiu acted like she was disgusted by his touch, he suddenly went crazy. He did not know why but when he was pushed back, when he was told that she hated being touched by him, he couldn't help himself but want to touch her more.

He wanted to make her swallow those words she spit. To prove that she was wrong, that she still craved for him. So, he forced her. He hurt her. He wounded her heart.

What he did last night was definitely cannot be forgiven. If he could just go back from the very start.

Even if he exhausted all of his resources.

Even if he becomes penniless.

Even if he sold his own soul.

As long as Feng Jiu forgives him, he will do everything.

MinFeng let his body fell back on the bed. He covered his eyes using his left arm.

"Feng Jiu..."

He whispered.

-------

It has been two days since that nightmare. He almost went crazy trying to find her, flipping Beijing upside down.

MinFeng was trying to find any clues that could lead to Feng Jiu's current location, but she was very stubborn, hiding herself away from him.

She did not even try to go back and work. She vanished like an air.

Without giving him a second chance.

Without listening to his explanation.

He did not sleep nor eat during those two days she was missing. He never even paid attention to the company. All he cared about was to find Feng Jiu at all cost. In these past two days, MinFeng felt like he was a living dead, like a robot without a soul, alive but without emotions.

He didn't want to experience this heartache ever again, so he made a decision. If he found her, he would bind her and wouldn't let her run away from him. He would definitely lock her inside his own house so she could only be with him forever.

Even if he had to chain her, to break her wings, he would. Just to make sure that she would never leave him again.

He was sitting on Feng Jiu's bed when Chen Hao called.

"Speak."

"Boss.. We still can't... We still can't find any information about Miss Feng's current location."

MinFeng throw his phone. It flew towards the floor and went below the bed.

He was mad. He was angry at his subordinates for being incompetent. He was angry at Feng Jiu for being stubborn, but most of all, he was angry at himself because he was such a bastard.

He was a scum, a jerk, for hurting Feng Jiu.

MinFeng calmed himself. He tried to look for his phone when he saw a tiny box underneath the bed. He also saw his phone intact, still connected to Chen Hao's call.

He got both items.

He once again put his phone on his ear. "Chen Hao, I will give you another day. If you can't still find her, you better write your resignation letter. I do not need incompetent people at my side."

"Y-Yes Boss." Chen Hao's voice quivered.

After the call, he sat back on the bed, carrying the small box. He observed the box and found out that it was not locked. He opened it and saw a tiny paper that was folded neatly. He unfolded it and saw a drawing. There were some words inscribed on the paper.

It said, "My Dream House. Feng Jiu's Little Castle." It was dated 20 years ago. She was only 8 years old, but her drawing was a masterpiece.

The house was not very big. Just a two-story house. It was located on a hill, facing the sea. Although the strokes were rough, it was very detailed.

It could be said that for an eight-year old child to draw something like this, he or she could be considered a genius.

MinFeng suddenly realized that Feng Jiu was a genius architect even when she was a child, but for the sake of her grandfather and Feng International, she let go of her passion to draw and focused on managing their company.

MinFeng closed the box. He called MinDe.

"Hello?"

"It's me. I want you to gather the best architects available in our company."

"Why?"

"I will give them a project."

"What project? Why was I not informed about this? Is it related to the company's expansion?"

"No, it's personal."

"Oh. You want a new house?"

"Yes. I want a new house. My wife to be's dream house."

"Oh? Heh.. What a stupid woman. She fell for someone like you. "

"For a person who smiles like the sun, you sure are a cold bastard."

"....What are you taking abou--"

"Ahh.. You better watch your back. You might get married before I do. Shotgun wedding is still a wedding after all."

MinFeng immediately cut their conversation.

He smirked while thinking of MinDe's reaction. Only stupid girls would fall for his younger brother who was a devil incarnate. MinFeng suddenly thought of Feng Jiu's friend. That shameless girl, Xiao Mei, would soon regret eyeing his younger brother.

All his life, MinFeng never saw someone as shameless as Feng Jiu's friend. Thinking of Feng Jiu's friend, he immediately dialed Chen Hao's number.

"Find Xiao Mei of Infinite Airlines' contact number and her current place."

-------

Xiao Mei was sipping her favorite strawberry shake, not paying attention to someone who was staring daggers at her.

"So, Ah Jiu is missing because of your idiocy? Aiyaa.. As her friend, why would I help you? Am I stupid? No. Shuu! Shuu! You better scram."

Xiao Mei didn't want to face this man who hurt her friend. If she was not afraid of this bad gege, she would've scratched his face and drew graffiti on it.

"+01******965"

"Huh? Wha---!"

"Lu MinDe's personal phone number."

Xiao Mei's eyes widened.

'Noo~ so fast! I did not remember everything!!'

"Tell me where Feng Jiu is... and I will give you his number."

Xiao Mei cried inwardly. 'Ah Jiu~ forgive me... Bad gege bribed me.. I hope you won't get angry.. I'll make it up to you.. I promise.. I will make you my maid of honor when I marry MinDe, okay?"

Xiao Mei was praying to heavens that Feng Jiu wouldn't get angry at her.

"I will tell you, but his personal number is not enough. His number and a date, take it or leave it!"

Author's Side Note:

Guys, have you love someone before?

Me? Nope.. But reading novels for 11 years, I observed that love makes you stupid. So stupid that sometimes you are not using your brain anymore.

Thinking about FengJiu and MinFeng, both of them are novice when it comes to loving someone.

They basically don't have any clue how to show their love with each other. So it's not very shocking to see them acting stupid all the time.

Also, humans are very defensive creatures, when they were hurt, they tend to close their eyes, ears and mouth. They do not want to see, hear or say things that could hurt themselves. That's why miscommunication is the number one issue in heartaches and relationship failures.

So I advise you to say everything you wanted to say towards the person you love before it's too late.

Hahahah I am spouting nonsense again.

P.S

Need not worry, Bratty Little Princess will save the day! Hahahah.
