bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xxiv

"Excuse me?" Beidou almost spat her drink when she heard that. Raising an eyebrow at this man's existence.

Ningguang wasn't paying attention because she was too busy eating, "Pardon?" she wiped down her mouth.

The man shifted his heels from one to another, "I am Yun Hui, one of the former members of the Liyue Qixing," he introduced himself with pure pride, "I had been dying to meet you, the tianquan. For I have also dying feelings for you. Allow me to court you." he seemed tensed but he still managed to look high.

He even had the audacity to hold Ningguang's hand without her permission. With his rash action, she retrieved her hand immediately. Beidou's eye squinted at his impolite behaviour. She thought that no other man would be so crude at treating a lady.

It was Ningguang's time to choke on her drink, coughing a few times before the man could speak again, "Ah, captain, shall you allow me to court your friend?" he asked in a manner.

Beidou almost barked a laugh she scoffed, "Friend?" she looked over Ningguang who has now recovered from a choke.

She flashed her hand wherein the ring had shone brigthly, "Sir, I am engaged and soon to be married by the woman in front of me." she met the captain's eye who twinkled against the light.

Yun Hui was surprised to hear the news, he bowed several times for an apology. The flowers from the bouqet were now scattered at the restaurant's floor, "Forgive me and my imprudence! I didn't know about it—Please, spare me." he spoke as if Ningguang would take his own life.

The captain chuckled then patted his arm to calm him down, "It's alright, man." she pulled his arm to whisper in his ears as her red eye was too sharp it almost pierce his soul, "Now that you now, you better keep your hands off my lady." she whispered, the man gulped in fear.

Beidou did not mean to intimidate the poor Yun Hui, she just hate it when someone would approach her lady that easy. As she went through numerous challenging obstacles in order to sway her. She wouldn't let someone else take away her dear efforts to attain her lady.

In simple words, she may be possessive. Ningguang's lips curled into a smirk as she finally unlocked Beidou's jealousy. How hot she was when she's being possessive.

"I-I'm really really sorry! I hope I did not interrupt a cute moment!" he almost kneeled down from his embarrasment, "I am so ashamed!" she muttered.

Ningguang gave him a thin smile, "Do not worry, my fiancée won't bite." she looked at the jealous Beidou while biting her lip.

"Thank you so much! I must treat you a dessert or discount coupons." he was panicking at this point, Beidou's death glare pinning him to the ground.

The tianquan let out a palm, "No need," she figured out that freebies and discount coupons is not her thing and does not interest her that much, "If you may." she said politely.

"R-Right and congratulations!" he stammered, as he ran away from the couple he almost knocked the waiter down.

"Friends, tch. Does it look like we are dating here as friends?" she muttered under her breath, playing with her chopsticks.

Ningguang found this cute so she stacked a hand at hers, "Honey, you know I won't let a man take over me. Besides, I'm already yours." she gave her a smile, wanting to kiss her so bad.

But then for a split second, Beidou's mood softened already like that didn't happen, "Yes, I know, my lady." she held her hand tight, "I'm the only one who could make your—" she glanced downwards, "Throb." she continued.

Ningguang could not believe she had already flipped the tables at her, "Oh, stop it!" she kicked her right at the shins. Earning a stifled Ow! from the captain.
