Rosiley Tang didn’t realize Rorey Gu’s hate for her was deeply rooted. But even if she knew it, she would not bear it in mind. She hated Rorey Gu in the same way. There was nothing else she hated more than her.
Rosiley Tang left the party and was going to take a taxi to Sachin Lu’s house.
After all the hostility she had encountered tonight, the first person that she thought of was Sachin Lu.
The man looked unapproachable but could always cast away the shadow of her heart and warm her.
Rosiley Tang was eager to leave and didn’t notice a person standing not far away.
“Rosiley!”
A man called her softly.
Rosiley Tang stopped and looked back.
A man, in a black tuxedo, who stood under the streetlight, exuded the extraordinary elegance and dignity. With the soft glow falling on him, he was dazzlingly attractive.
“Sachin?’
Rosiley Tang was a little surprised to see him but she was delighted, too.
The moment she thought of him, he was here!
When she saw Sachin Lu, she felt magically reassured.
“Why are you here?” Rosiley Tang soon went to him.
“Take you home.”
He stood there with one hand in his pocket and smiled faintly.
Rosiley Tang didn’t feel sad until now and wanted to hug him.
“Can I… hug you?’
She looked up at him with the weepy eyes, like a bullied puppy begging for comfort.
Sachin Lu froze a moment, and the next second, he nodded, spreading his arms wide.
Rosiley Tang threw herself into his arms and encircled his waist with her cheeks against his chest.
His smell surrounded her and his strong heartbeat echoed in her mind, which was reassuring.
Sachin Lu held her so gently and kept caressing her hair, “Why are you so depressed after winning the fight?”
Rosiley Tang shook her head, “I’m not depressed. I’m just tired of all those rumors and quarrels.”
She felt something wrong and looked up at him confusedly, “How did you know I won the fight?”
Sachin Lu pressed her head against his chest, “In Benin City, I know everything.”
Rosiley Tang soon understood what happened, “Were you at the engagement party?”
“Yes.”
His reply was short but made Rosiley Tang feel warm.
No wonder he was here waiting for her. No wonder he was in the formal evening dress.
“Did you ask Zev for help?”
She caught the point.
“It is my most merciful way to deal with them.”
Sachin Lu didn’t deny it and said in a cold tone.
“Thank you!” Rosiley Tang felt touched.
Tonight she had endured the spite from Rorey Gu along with the misunderstanding and criticism from others. The party was like a torture for her.
Without Zev’s appearance, the insult might have been worse.
Although she won the fight, she was exhausted. But she felt better when she saw Sachin Lu.
“I said, where I am, no one can hurt you.”
Sachin Lu pulled her back and touched her cheeks tenderly, “If you had confronted Rorey Gu today, you might have get hurt. Leave it to me. I will handle it.”
“What are you going to do?”
Rosiley Tang blinked and asked curiously.
“I will tear them apart and leave no room.”
With the piercing eyes, Sachin Lu kept a straight face, like the ruthless King over the world.
Rosiley Tang was sure he was not joking.
She shook her head with smile, “I think that way, too. But we don’t need to do that right now. It’s just the beginning of the story. I’d like to enjoy the victory by slowly torturing them. I will take all my things back from Rorey Gu and Yunis Ji!”
Rosiley Tang said resolutely.
Looking down at her, Sachin Lu thought over it and agreed reluctantly, “OK. It’s up to you.”
“Next time I want to deal with them by my own, without your help.” Rosiley Tang made another request.
But this time Sachin Lu hesitated, “It depends.”
If that happened again, he would still lend a hand.
“I will be more careful. Just take it as a lesson this time.”
Rosiley Tang lifted three fingers and made a promise.
“We’ll see. Let’s go home. I’m looking forward to your gift.”
Sachin Lu didn’t answer directly. He held her hands and went to the car.
Rosiley Tang sit in the front passenger seat and was puzzled, “What gift?”
“The ‘thank-you’ gift. A verbal thank is not sufficient. I prefer the actions.”
Sachin Lu tilted his face and traced Rosiley Tang’s lips with his long fingers. His eyes were burning and telling exactly what he wanted.
He was addicted to her.
The gift was an excuse. He wanted to kiss her.
