Miao have no idea how will she respond…
Did she heard it right?
Vlad loves her? How?
"I love you since the day I left the country, you never leave my mind. There is not a single day that I did not think of you." Vlad sat down. "I was very angry with myself at that time because I did not know why I could
not forget you. Then I realized that.." he looked at her. "That im falling in love with you."
Miao was even more speechless.
OMG! What will she say? Why her heart keeps beating so fast?
Silence...
Vlad is now only staring on the floor, while Miao is staring at him.
"E-Ehh.. a-are you serious?" she finally had the courage to speak.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Vlad said with his serious face.
Sorry, okay?
"I d-don't know what to say, this is…" she really doesn't know what to say.
Vlad stood up and walked towards her. "Freak… can you give me a chance to prove my feelings to you?"
OMG!!!
'Just calm down Miao just calm down!'
Waaahhhh…
"Ehem…" she cleared her throat. "you know I'm still moving on from my break up, right?" she said.
She need to act normal in front of Vlad.
'Shit Miao! You're broken hearted right? Why are you blushing?'
She's hiding her excitement from him.
"I will make sure that you will forget that man. I want to be the only one in your mind and heart, to be the only man you can see and the only one who will always be with you. I'm a selfish man Miao, I don't like having a rival. I will do everything just to make you mine." he said.
"Okay wait." she said then turned her back on him.
Shittt, her face is so red. She couldn't help but to smile, she bit her lip so hard. She wants to jump from excitement but she's afraid that Vlad will think she's crazy. She inhaled and exhaled then she faced him again.
"I didn't know you had such a side, Mr. Gu, I just don't get it. If you really want me to be yours completely then do your best to make me yours." she said while averting her gaze from him.
Shit! This is so unexpected.
"Then let see, if I win you will marry me." he said.
"Uhm, okay. good night Mr. Gu." she was about to leave but Vlad suddenly pulled her.
She was surprised when he kissed her on her lips.
Her heart was beating so fast again and felt her heart would explode.
After the kiss Vlad looked at her. "I will surely win Miss Miao." he whispered.
She quickly turned around and dashed to her room, she almost stumbled due to her shock.
When she got to her room she leaned against the door, she touched her lips.
She used to be very brave when he kissed him at the mall but now she's acting like a teenager and can't even look at him straight.
Is this the effect of Vladimir Gu's confession?
Does she have Vlad syndrome now???
.
....
Rael is still not in her mood, she is very sluggish and does not even want to talk with her friends. Jinji and Zol was very worried
about her.
"Rael, go eat your food." Jinji said then brought the food they ordered to her.
But Rael just stared at the food. The two sighed.
"Hey guys I'm back!!!" Miao said happily when she arrived.
"Miao!!!" the two immediately ran to her.
"Did you guys miss me?" she asked while smiling.
But instead of answering, Zol pointed Rael, Miao furrowed her brows while looking at her friend.
"What happened to her?" she whispered.
"Min lied to her, he just used her and play with her feelings." Zol replied.
"What?" Miao quickly sat down beside Rael. "Twinnie, is it true? Are you all right?" she asked her friend anxiously.
Rael suddenly cried when she saw Miao, she hugged her tightly. "Twinnie..huhu, Min and Mei... They deceived us!"
Miao's blood suddenly boiled from anger. Those two will pay for what they did to Rael, Mei Lin was the reason why she broke up with Xander and now Rael? She will not accept this!
.
....
Xander stopped walking when he noticed that the students were making a fuss in the quadrangle.
He walks to find out what was happening, his eyes widened when he saw Mei and Miao fighting again.
"BITCH YOU REALLY PISSED ME OFF! ALL YOU DID IS TO RUIN OUR HAPPINESS!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!" Miao yelled as she pulled Mei Lin's hair.
Mei can't fight her because she's so strong, Miao is really furious right now.
"Waaahhh twinnie, stop it!" Rael cried.
Zol tried to stop Miao but even him was pushed away by her.
He was about to help them but Gyu arrived with their Prefect of Discipline.
The two stopped fighting and headed to the office.
Xander quickly approached Rael. "What happened?"
"Xan huhu when she found out what Mei and Min did, she rushed to see Mei." Rael explained.
"This is bad, they will definitely be suspended." said Jinji.
Zol was rubbing his back because Miao pushed him hard. "Those girls are scary." he said.
.
.
"YOU TWO ARE SUSPENDED FOR TWO WEEKS!" their Prefect yelled at them.
"What? Why me too? Miao started it!" Mei complained.
Miao just rolled her eyes, what's the big deal of not attending school? She doesn't care even if they make it two months, as
long as she can get revenge on this bitch.
"We had given you warnings before but you never listen to us. You are lucky that I didn't give you an expulsion!" added by the Prefect.
"Argh! This is ridiculous!" annoyed Mei Lin walked out.
That woman was really disrespectful, the Prefect just shook his head. She bowed to him and then came out as well.
"Waahh twinnie, what did he say?" Rael asked when she came out.
"We saw Mei she was very angry." said Jinji.
"We're suspended for two weeks." she replied.
"Eh? We will be having our exam soon." said Rael.
"It's okay, I'm also lazy to come in class, and I can take exam any time I want." she said.
"This is all my fault." Rael frowned.
"It's not your fault." she hugged her.
"Then we will visit you at your condo during your suspension." Zol said.
"Uhm, I'm not staying at my condo." she said.
The three looked at each other.
"Are you staying with your parents right now?" Jinji asked.
"Well, not either." she replied.
"Then where?" the three both asked at the same time.
She smiled then whispered to them.
"EEHHHH????" The three could not believe what Miao said.
Really?
.
....
Four days had passed and Miao has been bored in their mansion, she has been staying there for weeks. Vlad is always busy with his work, her friends are also busy reviewing for the upcoming exam.
"Argh!!!" she got up from lying on the couch. "It's so fucking boring!"
She wants to go out now. Shopping!!!
She remembers that Vlad gave her his black card, saying she could buy anything. So it's time to spend all his money, bwahahaha.
.
.
At the mall…
Miao sighed, "Why they are not answering my calls?" she said while trying to call Rael. "Are they really that busy?"
She kept walking.
"Wow, it looks delicious." she said while staring at the cakes displayed in the café.
"Miss, a strawberry cake and chocolate frappe." she ordered.
She sat down, she took a selfie first while waiting for her order.
"Hmm, maybe I will buy new dresses and bags and then shoes?" she mumbled.
She can't help but to smile. "It's nice to be the rich man's fiancee."
Wait what?
Did she said fiancee?
"My gosh!!!" she said.
"Can I share a table with you?" said by a man's voice.
"Sure." she said then looked at him.
She was surprised when she recognized him.
"X-Xander?"
He smiled at her. "Can I?"
She could do nothing but nod.
"Here's your order mam." said the waiter.
They are very quiet while eating.
It was Xander who dared to speak.
"About what happened to ----"
"Forget it." she said.
"Miao let me explain first, please."
"Fine."
"I know it's wrong that I kept a secret from you, I just don't want you to be jealous of Mei. I thought she just wants to be friends with me, I never thought she would do things that would ruin our relationship. I'm sorry if I
didn't listen to you. Please give me another chance Miao I love you." he held her hand.
Why does she feel nothing when Xander held her hand?
The love is gone.
She withdrew her hand from him. "Y-You know Xan, I forgave you. But.."
"But what?"
"I think we need to think carefully about this..."
"What do you mean?"
"Can we just be friends, like before?"
Xander was deeply hurt by what Miao said. "Miao I can't, I can't."
"As long as Mei see that I'm happy I know she won't stop. She will just repeat what she did before. Why not let go each other? Let's stay as a friend. You see, I'm not the one who deserves you."
"Is it because you're getting married?"
Miao eye's widened.
"H-How did you know?"
"He's my cousin Miao, it's funny that I only found it out late. Why you didn't tell me?"
"I'm sorry Xan, in fact I really don't want to marry him. It was a fixed marriage, you were the one I loved at that time"
"And you don't love me now?" He stared at the food.
"After what happened Xan, I don't know what else to think."
Xander sighed. "I understood, besides I know that I am nothing compared to my cousin. I don't want to give you up but it looks like destiny wants to separate the two of us."
"I'm sorry."
Xander stood up. "Why saying sorry? Cheer up Miao, that's not the Xiao Miao Miao I met before."
She tried to smile then nod.
Xander held out his hand. "Friends?"
"Friends." she said then reached for his hand.
Xander said goodbye.
That's for their own good...
After eating, Miao thought of shopping for the things she wanted.
"Hehe it's really fun, these bags are all pretty!" she said while walking and looking at the paper bags she's carrying.
She stopped walking when she passed in a jewelry shop.
"Wow it's beautiful!" she commented on the displayed necklace.
She entered the shop.
She was even more amazed when she saw the displays, not only jewelry was sold here but also antiques.
Vases, figurines, etc.
They will obviously expensive.
"Welcome mam." greeted by the saleslady.
She smiled at her.
She walked around.
"Wow this one is so perfect!" she said while looking at the necklace. "Can I see it?" she asked.
"Sure mam." the saleslady took out the necklace then handed it to her.
"Wow, it's really pretty." she said.
"It's a Persian necklace mam, that suits you." said the saleslady.
"Really? Then I'll take it." she said.
"I'm sorry but I will buy that!" Mei Lin suddenly snatched the necklace from her hand.
She felt annoyed again when she saw her.
Why does this bitch always show up wherever she was. And she's with Min this time.
"Excuse me? I am the first one who wanted it, I have it now and I am ready to pay for it!" she said
"I'm sorry but it is in my hand now." Mei said calmly. She looked at the saleslady. "I'll take this."
"Here's my card." Min handed over his credit card.
The saleslady was obviously confused.
"C'mon take it!" Min shouted.
The saleslady got scared and took it immediately.
Miao glared at them.
"You guys really love pissing me off, do you?" she crossed her arms.
"Haha to see you unhappy is my pleasure Miao. As long as I am here you will never be happy." Mei said.
"I really want to punch you but I'm just holding back myself." she said.
The two laughed.
"Eww do you think you will scare me?" said Mei.
"How is your friend? Is she still broken hearted until now?" Min added.
"Broken hearted? Why? Are you handsome? My friend will not cry over the ugly man like you." she said.
Min got pissed by what she said.
"How dare you say that to my boyfriend!" Mei started to get piss.
"You two really suits each other, both pathetic, hahaha" she cackled.
"How dare you!" Mei pushed her causing her to accidentally pushed the vase that being displayed. It was broke and created a loud noise, costumers looked at them.
"Oh my she broke the expensive vase ahahaha!" Mei laughed.
The saleslady arrived. "Mam, that vase cost 500,000."
What? 500,000 just for this vase?
Vlad will definitely scold her if he finds out that she had wasted a lot of money.
"Uhm miss.."
"She can't pay it haha." Mei Lin said.
She glared at Mei Lin. "You know you're really annoying!"
.
.
"I'm glad we have high sales for this month, you guys did a great job." Vlad praised them as they walked inside the mall.
They just finished their meeting at the main office.
"Thank you Sir, I assure you that we will make the ratings higher and get more costumers." said the manager.
Vlad nodded, they stopped walking when they heard a fuss in the jewelry shop.
"That sounds of a broken object?" said Mr. Hans.
"Don't worry sir we will handle it." said the manager who suddenly got nervous.
"I want to see what's going on inside." he said then walked into the shop.
The costumers were stunned when they saw him.
"Is that Vladimir Gu?"
"Oh my, he's really handsome"
"He owns this mall, right?"
They make a way to let him pass. Mr. Hans followed him and the manager is now wiping his sweat due to extreme nervousness.
.
.
"Who told you that I can't pay it? I am not like you gold digger!"said Miao.
"What did you say?" Mei pushed her again.
She fell down and hurt her hand from the broken vase. Her palm bleeds, she looked at Mei and stood up.
"YOU FUCKING ANNOYING BITCH!!!" she yelled.
She was ready to attack her when someone spoke
"What's going on here?" said by the voice.
She halted, that voice…
It's Vlad!
Shit!
His face turned serious as he approached them. Mei Lin was too stunned to see Vlad, she quickly acted cute in front of him.
"Mr. Gu it's so nice to see you here."said Mei.
But Vlad ignored her, he's staring at Miao. "Tell me what's going on here" he emphasized the question.
"Psh, that bitch is making a scene here." Mei complained.
"Am I asking you?" Vlad glared at her.
Mei Lin turned silent.
"What now?" he asked Miao.
Miao looked down the floor. "S-Sorry… I got bored in the mansion so I thought of going here to shop, I did not expect to get into a fight and then accidentally broke the vase." she pointed to the vase.
Mei was confused, why is she explaining on him?
"You broke it?" Vlad asked.
Miao looked at Mei, hmm.
She wants to get revenge, she raised an eyebrow.
"That woman pushed me!" she hugged Vlad's arm. "I just want to buy the necklace, I was about to pay it but this woman snatched the necklace and picked a fight with me." she complained.
Mei was stunned. "H-Hey Miao, you have the nerve to complained to Mr. Gu? How dare you bitch!"
Vlad glared at Mei again. "How dare you to say that to my wife!"
Everyone gasped.
"M-Mr. Gu has a wife?"
"I heard he was getting married"
"That girl was so lucky"
The people continued to murmur.
"W-Wife?" Mei Lin backed away.
"Yes she's my wife and how dare you bully her. Don't you know that all my wife's enemies are my enemies too?" Vlad looks scary.
He looks like he was about to eat someone alive.
Mei Lin could not speak.
"Mr. Hans!" Vlad calls.
Mr. Hans immediately showed up. "Yes sir?"
"Search for their background and make sure that they will regret what they did to my wife." He ordered then pulled her out of the shop.
Mei sat down on the floor, her knees are shaking and she could no longer stand.
Now her life will be in doom. Vlad will not forgive her.
"Tsk. This is all your fault!" annoyed Min left her.
.
.
As they walked, Vlad noticed the wound on Miao's hand.
"It's bleeding, we need to go to the hospital." he said.
"Eh? It's just a small wound." she refused.
"No. we need to go to the hospital now." he insisted.
"Okay." she agreed since it's hard to argue with this guy.
But in fairness, Vlad made her happy. She wanted to laugh at Mei's face earlier, she deserved it because she was so mean.
.
....
That evening.
At the bar…
"If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?~"
Xander already drank lots of beer but he still did not want to stop. He wanted to get drunk because of the fact that he and Miao will never be together.
But what can he do? Vlad will take better care of her.
"I'll never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?~"
He looked at the vocalist of the band playing who are tonight. He just shook his head and took a shot again.
"One glass of vodka please." said the woman sitting next to him.
He looked at her. "Rael?"
She was surprised to see him too. "Xander? What are you doing here?"
"I should ask you that question, what are you doing in this kind of place?"
Rael forced a smile. "I just want to forget someone."
The bartender handed the vodka to her.
"Thank you." she said.
"But you might get harm if you come here alone, what if you get drunk?"
"Pft. You're here, so I know I'm safe now even if I get drunk."
He chuckled. "Cheers?"
"Cheers!"
They both took a shot.
"Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and
Pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms?~"
.
.
"Haha that Min? I will forget him soon!" Rael said while walking. "I WILL FORGET YOU ASSHOLE!!!"
"Haha careful you might fall." Xander helped her walk.
They are now heading to the place where Xander parked his car, they are both drunk.
When they got into the car, Rael fell asleep immediately after she sat down.
"Hey where do you live again? I forgot your address." Xander asked.
But Rael was sound asleep.
Xander took his phone and then called Zol but he's not answering.
He has no choice.
He started the engine and they left.
He will take her to his condo.
.
....
"Careful" said Vlad as he helped Miao entering their mansion.
They just arrived from the hospital.
"Im fine Vlad, my hand was the one injured not my whole body." said Miao.
Vlad smiled.
Miao got confused when she noticed that the lights were off.
Where are the maids?
"T-Too dark, I-I can't see anything." she said.
"Sshh, just hold my hands." Vlad whispered.
She nodded and followed him.
When they reached the veranda, Miao's eyes widened when she saw the candle light dinner that Vlad had prepared.
"W-What is this?" she asked.
"Belated happy birthday." Vlad greeted her.
He took the flowers from the table and gave it to her.
She's speechless.
She forgot about her own birthday, it was supposed to be last Sunday but because she and Xander broke up, she lost interest and cancelled the party.
"T-Thank you, I didn't expect this." she said.
"I want this night to be special, come let's eat." Vlad helped her to sit down.
"Cheers?"
They made a toast.
"You also know how to surprise someone, huh?"
"Did I surprised you?"
"Yeah, you always do poker face you seems like you always bear all the problems in the world, I didn't expect that you also have the side of being romantic."
Vlad raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Haha but in fairness you made me happy tonight."
"I am sweet to the people who are important to me."
She blushed.
"By the way I have something for you." Vlad pulled out something from his pocket.
He stood up and come closer to her, he pulled out from the small box the beautiful necklace.
"You don't have to fight with someone for that necklace, this one is much better than that necklace." He then put the necklace on her. "Do you like it?"
"I-It's so beautiful." Miao could not explain the joy she feels while looking at the pendant on her necklace.
It was a white gold necklace with a heart pendant, in the middle of it was a jade stone, she knew it was very expensive. She saw two letters written at the back of the pendant, V&M.
Is it Vlad and Miao?
Vlad held her hand. "I love you Miao, I have no plans of letting you go, I only want you."
"V-Vlad."
Vlad slowly brought his face closer to her.
Until they kissed.
She voluntarily responded to his kiss, she hugged his neck. Their kisses became more
passionate and intense.
She felt strange, her chest throbbing so fast again.
Probably...
She's falling in love with Vlad now.
She doesn't care anymore, she only wants to be with Vlad tonight.
.
.
Rael slowly opened her eyes, she yawned.
"O-Ouch" she touched her head.
Hangover...
She looked around the room. "What the!" she is not in her room?
Where is she???
She saw the picture at the side table.
"Oh no! Im at Xander's room?" she exclaimed.
She's in Xan's room??? How come?
She tried to remember what happened last night.
"Shitt!"
Due to her intoxication she could not remember much of what had happened.
She checked her clothes, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she's still wearing her clothes.
"Waahhh twinnie, I'm very sorry huhu!"
Miao will surely be mad at her if she finds out that she slept in Xander's room.
She got up and slowly opened the door, she peeked outside.
She came out then walked slowly, she had to leave immediately before Xander see her.
She saw Xander cooking at the kitchen, she hurried to the door.
"You're awake."
She halted when she heard his voice.
She's dead!
"Are you hungry? I cooked breakfast for us." he said.
"H-Hehe, good morning." she was ashamed to face him.
Xander smiled. "Let's have breakfast together."
.
.
As they ate, Rael glanced at Xander.
Huhu twinnie, I'm really very sorry, I didn't mean it!!!
"Are you all right? You look pale." Xander commented.
He touched her forehead.
Rael gets flustered.
Her heart is beating so fast. Why is this happening to her???
"I-I'm fine." she said and eat.
Xander chuckled.
"By the way you were very drunk last night, don't tell me you still can't forget that idiot?"
"Psh, my hatred towards him will never fade away. I don't love him anymore, after what he done me, all my feelings for him is hatred. I want to cut him to pieces!" she chopped the fried hotdog on her plate.
"Pft. Relax, Don put your anger on the food" said Xander.
"I hate that guy." she added.
"Hmm, wanna get revenge on him?"
Rael stared at him. "How?"
Xander smiled again.
.
....
Miao woke up that Vlad was no longer beside him.
She yawned and remembered what had happened last night, she couldn't help but to smile.
Last night was so....
Kyahhhhh!!!
She touched her both cheeks. Her face turned red, they already did it.
She sat properly when she saw the door opened.
"Good morning." Vlad greeted her with a tray of food.
"Good morning." she became hungry when she smelled the food he was carrying.
"I know you're hungry so I made this." said Vlad who laid the tray on the bed.
"Y-You cooked this?" she asked.
He nodded.
She wondered what does Vlad looks like while cooking? A handsome CEO wearing an apron.
"Hehe I don't know that you also know how to cook, it looks delicious." she looked at the food.
"Here, taste it." Vlad said and fed her.
Sweetness overload!
'I hope you're always like this everyday'
"By the way, Mr. Hans told me that you are suspended from school?"
"I had a fight with someone." she scratched her head.
"I'm not surprise, I knew you're always a war freak."
She frowned.
"Anyway, I'm planning to visit our company at Singapore why won't you join me? Let's go on a vacation before our wedding."
"Really??? I'll go with you!"
"Good, I will tell Mr. Hans to book a flight for us." he said.
She smiled then chewed the food.
