Chapter 10 - He is a monster... (Edited)

Feng Jianyu controlled his expression on time and did not let anything reflect on his face.

However, the priceless reaction was on Xiu Mei's face. She didn't need even a single extra second to recognize him.

She was horrified, her mouth was wide open, her body was stiff and eyes almost popped out of the sockets. At night she was not able to see his face because it was dark outside and he was covered from head to toe.

And just a moment before when she entered the bedroom his face was half-covered with his forearm.

But now he was right in front of her and she could see his face clearly.

'OH GOD! OH GOD! What is he doing here? He is Feng Jianyu? The great CEO Feng?'

'What did I do? I literally dug my own grave…. I wish 7 years back I had asked his name.'

Xiu Mei could feel her heart beating wildly and might jump out from her mouth any moment.

'Control, Mei, control…. This is your territory…your own home…he can't do anything here.' She tried to coax her poor heart.

Standing on the side Feng Junjie was trying to read the expression on their faces as he alternated his gaze between them, turning his head right… left… right… left… until he started feeling dizzy.

'Why do I feel that brother is behaving differently? Why is he staring at Miss Xiu Mei?'

'why am I feeling cold? And what is the meaning of these unfathomable eyes! What is he thinking?'

'Oh, Buddha! Earlier it was only my back that was hurting but now my head hurts too,' Feng Junjie holds his head and sat down on the nearby chair.

"Cough....I will ask Uncle Tom to bring the breakfast here," Xiu Mei controlled her emotions and acted indifferently before scurrying out of the room, leaving them alone.

On the side, Feng Jianyu pursed his lips and shifted his gaze at Feng Junjie.

"Hehehe…" Feng Junjie gulped and gave a sheepish smile. He did not have the courage to come closer to Feng Jianyu and talked maintaining a safe distance, "B... Brother if you don't want to stay at this place I will make arrangements to lea…." 

"I will stay!" Feng Jianyu stopped his brother midway.

Feng Junjie "...."

'Something is fishy?? I have to find out!' Feng Junjie decided to investigate the matter between his brother and Miss Xiu Mei.

"Alright then….I will prepare a sponge bath for you," He got up from his seat to enter the bathroom.

"You better explain everything," Feng Junjie heard Jianyu's voice and stopped in his track. He could feel a chill run down his spine and turned around before speaking incoherently

"Yes..yes... I will…but first bath….then breakfast…and then talk…Right?"

Feng Jianyu didn't reply but just gave him a glare and then averted his eyes towards the view outside.

Taking this silent gesture as a yes, Feng Junjie took a sigh of relief and entered the bathroom.

Feng Junjie helped his brother to freshen up before taking him to the balcony. "Brother I will go and freshen up too."

After leaving Feng Jianyu's room Xiu Mei instructed Butler Tom, "Serve the breakfast to our guests in their bedroom."

"And where should I arrange your breakfast? At the table or with guests?" Butler Tom asked.

"I am not hungry," Xiu Mei left for her room.

'Knock' 'Knock' 'Knock'

Come in," Feng Jianyu's voice came from the balcony.

Butler Tom turns the knob and entered. He was pulling a serving cart full of healthy food, tea, juice, and snacks. He turned his head and saw Feng Jianyu sitting in the balcony. Leaving the cart behind he walked towards the balcony.

"Good Morning Master. My name is Tom, I am the Butler of the house. Should I set up the breakfast in the bedroom or you would like to have it in the balcony,"

"Here,"

Butler Tom nodded and set the breakfast on the table in the balcony. "Master…If there is nothing else I will take my leave first," After setting the table he got up and waited for Feng Jianyu's order and received a small nod in response.

"hmm…..! It smells so yummy," Feng Junjie entered the balcony, rubbing his wet hair with a towel. He lifted the lid and was surprised to see the breakfast prepared for them.

Very thoughtful! The entire breakfast was oil-free, made specifically for a sick person to help in faster recovery.

He was satisfied by Xiu Mei's thoughtfulness and handover a bowl of porridge to Feng Jianyu before serving to himself.

Xiu Mei entered her bedroom, she locked the door before resting her back against it.

Burying her face small in her palms she slowly slides down to sit on the ground. With her knees bend she rested her face on it.

"Why him?… I hate him…I hate him…. I hate him…."

"Because of him, I had to part myself from my most precious invention… I went through so much pain..."

"He is a monster….."

"He did not trust me that night…"

"I was so scared…so humiliated…."

"I did not steal it… I don't know where it is."

"I …I…I.....

She kept on mumbling continuously to herself and drifted to sleep on the cold floor.
