Secret Love Nest

The Goddess' Lover pt3

Mr.Li and I walked to the living room while the Goddess opened the door to let Qing inside.

Qing: Hi, is he here? He's not on our unit but his bag and phone are inside so I thought he is just close...

He stopped when he saw me. I fidgeted and look down.

Mr.Li: Hello...I am...

Qing: I know you. I think everyone in this country is familiar with you.

Mr.Li: Of course. And you look familiar to me too...

Qing: That's because we met a week ago in a gala where the President was also invited.

I slighty look up at that. Oh yeah, last week, Qing's mother guilted him to attend a gala with his family. I didn't attend that one because I have a guesting schedule.

Mr.Li: (snapping his fingers) Ah yes, you are the son of Chairman Wang...the actor.

Qing nodded and the two men shook hands. Qing turn to me and I look down again.

Qing: Your hair is wet. Did you took a shower here because ours is broken? You bothered these people...

Me: (shaking my head) No...

Mr.Li: (quick to defend me) He was not a bother.

Qing: Of course. I am sorry if he disturbed your night with...

Mr.Li: Actually what happened is...

Me: (seizing Qing's hand) Let's go!

I pulled him, walking ahead to the door. But Qing won't move. He sounded confuse when he speak again.

Qing: Why are you in a hurry? Say thank you first cause you used their shower. I already called a plumber and he will come any moment now so our water supply will be fixed...

Me: Excellent! Let's go back to our unit now and...

Qing got suspicious. Of course he will get suspicious. He always suspect trouble from me. He said I always get myself into awkward situations.

Qing: (looking at all of us) Did something happened. (Tug at my hand holding his) Why are you always looking down? Now that I notice it, you haven't look at me properly since I came in. Look at me...

I look up and met Goddess' eyes who also gave me a hopeless look. She nodded at me. I sighed and slowly turn to look at Qing.

His body went rigid when he saw my face. He pulled me closer and held my jaw to turn my face to get a closer look at the place where I was hit.

Qing: What happened to your face? Did you bump it somewhere?

Me: (saw an excuse) Yes! I was a bit careless in her bathroom and I bump a...

Qing: (interrupting my blabbering) Or someone hit you?

My breath hitched when Qing's eyes turn stormy.

Qing: (in a low, dangerous tone) Did someone hit you?

He was not actually looking for a confirmation, he knew the truth already, he was just giving me a chance to tell it to him straight.

Me: It was more of an accident.

Qing: HE accidentally hit you? How can you be accidentally hit?

Qing turn to look at the other man on the room. Mr.Li sighed and took a step forward, ready to explain.

Mr.Li: The truth is...
