NCND – Ch 46.3 and Ch 47

The door closed, and the sight of his slightly trembling back disappeared.

I placed my cold palms over my cheek, aiming to relieve the pain.

What would I do now? How would I do it? How would I face my parents? How would I explain what happened? My dad was already unwell, would this drive him back to the hospital? And Ye Zhengchen ? How would I face him?

There were too many questions, and not a single answer.

If at anytime I met him, I would ask him, “ Brother, was it rape, adultery or prostitution?”

…… …

A burst of cold autumn wind blew in through the window. I shivered in the cold.

I got up from the ground and closed the window. As I pulled the curtains close, my hands froze.

Through the window, I spotted a white SUV parked downstairs. I hesitated for a long time before I picked up the phone and texted Ye Zhengchen, ‘Where are you?’

As soon as the text was sent, I got a reply – ‘In the nightclub. Chatting with a hot chick.’

I looked at the car downstairs. ‘Great. Then I wont bother you.’

He texted me back after a few minutes. ‘What are you doing?’

‘Looking at the scenery downstairs. It’s nice’

He replied,’…………..’

I laughed, and then clutched my face as pain shot through.

Then he texted again, ‘I want to see you’

I touched the side of my face and could feel the swelling,’I don’t want to see you right now’

I waited for a long time but Ye Zhengchen did not reply.

I placed the phone on the table and went into the bathroom to see my own face. The right side of my face was swollen hugely and there was a clear imprint of five figures. It was a shocking sight.

I moved my hair away from my forehead. There was a bit of blood. I took a tissue and tried to rub away the blood. I finished nearly half the roll but the blood continued to flow. If Ye Zhengchen saw me in this state, I couldn’t even guess how he would react.

The doorbell rang.

I thought Zhong Tim had returned and quickly walked to the door. But as I peeked through the eyehole, I saw a man standing at the door. He was dressed in black jeans and a black shirt. In the dim light, he looked sexy and domineering.

I grabbed some strands of hair and artfully placed it on my forehead. Then I opened the door.

Ye Zhengchen smiles and said, “ If you wanted to see me, you could have just told me directly…”

His smile froze when he registered my face.
