[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth

Chapter 121: Stalker

"Sorry, Daddy," I said, turning my head to whisper in his ear. "That is not my kink," I continued with a wink. 'But if anyone could get me to yell Daddy, it would be you.' Finishing the thought off in my head, I let out a gasp of surprise as he picked me up and flung me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Landing a crisp blow to my bottom, I squealed in surprise, but I also couldn't help but laugh at this playful side of his. And that was what it was, his playful side.

We both successfully managed to ignore Zhao Jia Li as she let out a high-pitched sound of her own in protest of our actions. "I will be telling Daddy about this!" she shouted after us as Wang Chao took the stairs two at a time.

"Somehow, it is less sexy when she says it." I said with a fake shiver. Wang Chao only grunted in reply, giving me another smack.

Being near him like this, or even not like this, allowed me to calm down from the anxious state I had been in all day and I sighed in contentment. Letting him carry me wherever he wanted, I simply hung here. Enjoying the moment.

"You found her then?" yelled Liu Wei as we entered our apartment.

"Yup!" Wang Chao replied as he carefully repositioned me until I was cradled in his arms before letting me stand on my own feet. I swayed a little as the blood rushed down from my head and back throughout my body where it belonged.

"Welcome home," said Chen Zi Han as he looked over the back of the couch. It looked like they had put on some alien movie to pass the time. Liu Wei walked into the living room from the kitchen carrying a big bowl of popcorn.

"Just in time," he said as he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead. "I didn't think you would want to miss it."

Honestly, I was not a big fan of alien movies or horror movies of any kind. Throw in slasher flicks and I was guaranteed to have nightmares all night long. What can I say? I can face down a zombie horde of shark-altered humans... or was it human-altered sharks? Anyways, I could face those down without flinching, but having someone call me on the phone asking me if I like scary movies and I would be hiding in the closet for the rest of the week.

What can I say? I'm unique.

But sitting on a couch with all of the guys? I could more than deal with watching an alien movie where the crazy cat lady turned out to be right.

"How was your day?" asked Wang Chao as I leaned my upper body across his. Chen Zi Han had pulled my legs over his own and was giving me a foot massage. How could anyone not be content if this is what they came home to?

"Made some friends," I said breezily, referring to the people in the first gas station. "Picked up some chocolate bars and other goodies, I think I got a stalker, oh, and I pick up some more guns," I said as if it were just a normal day. I was hoping that by adding a stalker to the middle of my recap, the boys would overlook it.

Unfortunately for me, Wang Chao and Liu Wei didn't overlook anything. I guess that was what made Wang Chao such a successful CEO and Liu Wei the perfect assistant.

"Stalker?" Wang Chao demanded, even as his finger brushed over my bare arms softly. I had put a power generator and heater into the apartment so that we were able to stay nice and warm.

"What?" I asked, feigning innocence. With a look of surprise on my face, like I just understood what he had said, I nodded my head. "You are right, Zhou Jia Li is quite the stalker," I continued, trying to completely divert the subject. Unfortunately, it was not nearly as successful as I was hoping it would be.

"She said that she felt eyes on her at the second gas station we went to," said Liu Yu Zeng from where he was sitting on the oversized chair.

"I felt her fear for a brief second," admitted Chen Zi Han as he briefly squeezed my foot before going back to rub it.
