The Tailors Artist [Guardian Shen Wei X Zhao Yunlan]

Ch. 10 Doors

I'm not sure how Zhao Yunlans sessions helped me out.
As much as I hated those men, I didn't wish for their deaths. Zhujio blamed me for being the cause even though he called them in and pulled the trigger.

In a way though he was right, If only I'd been a bit stronger and managed to get them off none of this would've happened.

Zhujio now believes that if anyone came to me I'd let them. He got jealous all on his own and brought up Yunlan all of a sudden. He said he's going after me and that's unforgivable.

I panicked and pleaded he's wrong. "That guy means nothing to me! And he thinks the same as me. You should know more than anyone! Our conversations are direct and the maid can testify that nothing happened!"

"Really? Then let's call her in. Ashley! Come over here!" Yelled Zhujio waiting for her to arrive. " Did nothing happen between Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan? That artist that recently comes over?" Asked Zhukio aggravated.

"Well...maybe Shen Wei smiled over at Yunlan. I think Yunlan even touched Shen Wei's hand very romantically. Most the time they were chatting instead of drawing. " the maid named Ashley confessed. She looked over at me and smirked.

"Th-thats a lie! We did draw! We drew the whole time! I've barely even said a word. Zhujio...please believe me. It sounds to me like she's not even sure of it all!" I pleaded putting my hands in a prayer, gripping Zhujios pants and looking at him desperately.

Ashley began to tremble and hastily said" I dare not master! Everything I said is the truth! What would I gain out of lying!"

Zhujio dismissed the maid and looked over at me then grabbed my wrist and pulled me over then threw me to the mirror breaking it. As the glass fell I got scratches over my face.

"I gave you what you wanted...and you still weren't able to do what I asked. I mean what more do you expect? How much longer do I have to wait?!" Cried out Zhujio as he squished my face cutting his hand in the process.

I flinched at each step he took, trying to cover myself yet wanting to confront him. "There wasn't anything between us. I tried loving you but you gave me no reason to! I tried believing that what you did to me was justified and was love and I tried embracing that love....! It was you that never wanted anything from me besides my body!" I yelled out.

Zhujio slapped me, "Shut your dirty mouth! Me? So your now showing your true colors huh? Wasn't it you that wanted me for MY money? "

"Stop making things up! You know why I wanted it! Otherwise I'd never have touched it. Nothing in here is mine! You were the one that wanted to make a deal after several rejections from me. I looked for dozens of jobs and worked all day to pay the hospital and you fired me from it all. You even wanted to tarnish the name of the Tailor shop I owned! What else was I suppose to do? When the deal was made you pointed the gun at Yezhuns head! Was their even a time when you weren't an evil man?" I yelled out picking the glass and clenching it in my hands.

Zhujio grabbed a large piece of glass and started stabbing me over and over, "If you don't need me anymore and you want to be out from my side then why don't you just leave?! Go, Go, Go, Go, Go! LEAVE RIGHT NOW!! GET OUT FROM MY SIGHT AND DONT EVER COME BACK! I DONT WANT YOU EITHER!" He said as he kicked me out from the room, down the stairs out the Mansion.

It started to rain and I walked away from the place I've stayed the last 7 years in.

I took a deep breath and looked forward at the road. "Finally, I'm out" I mumbled.

But after a few steps I felt like I was in pain. Was their really no way? Is it over now? I thought about pulling the string, the one I did during Zhao's sessions and became overwhelmed with peace.

I heard the door slowly opening behind me. And for a second it was like my life was a new.

Zhujio stood at the entrance and opened his arms, waiting for a hug from me as he said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Shen Wei....Come back."

In the last 7 years, I've always been begging Zhujio to stop, trying to understand him, trying to calm him down, then accepting it all. Now he apologized and I believed he meant it.

For the first time he wanted a simple hug.

I ran over and hugged him back.

The maid that confessed earlier on said "But maybe they didn't at all do anything. I could've been overthinking it for the sake of Mr. Zhujios sake. There's so much to loose and Shen Wei is soo alluring."

I ignored her and got carried back to the bedroom then slept.

In the morning Zhujio bought seeds imported from a foreign country and asked me to plant with him later.

For the first time in a while we went out for breakfast. And this honeymoon continued till he had to go back to work.

Then it was time to meet Zhao again.

I thought Zhujio finally realized how much I meant to him and repented for all that he's done.
