Luo Zheng finally managed to pinch the corner of the shirt and squeezed it tightly in her hands, feeling a huge sense of relief.
Damn it, I’m just trying to take a piece of clothing, why do I feel guilty like I’m committing theft? Luo Zheng thought to herself as she panted heavily in exhaustion.
Just as she was about to get out of bed, she could not help but glance at Bo Hancheng to see if he was showing signs of waking up.
To her surprise, she met his gaze when she turned around and he questioned with a hidden meaning, “Little imp, what are you trying to do by taking my clothes?”
“You… ”
Luo Zheng got a great shock and she had no idea when he woke up.
“What’s wrong with me?” he retorted coldly with unknown emotions.
Luo Zheng then recovered from the shock and realized the predicament that she was in, after which she frantically tried to avoid him.
She suddenly forgot that she was on the edge of the bed and struggled continuously.
Bang!
At the next moment, Luo Zheng rolled off the bed and fell onto the ground with a loud thud.
Upon sight of this, Bo Hancheng tensed up and strode forward. “Luo Zheng, why are you panicking… ”
He then reached out in a bid to hold her.
She was hugging onto the shirt and retreating back to a corner of the headboard. “Bo Hancheng, don’t come here! Don’t come here… ”
She was clearly keeping her guard up like she was with a stranger, causing him to stop suddenly.
Unlike when she was in a daze previously, she was… extremely sober at this moment!
Despite being sober, she was still behaving that way. It was obvious what that meant!
“Luo Zheng, are you afraid of me?”
Bo Hancheng continued to move forward until he was one step away from her.
The atmosphere turned silent.
Luo Zheng looked down at her unkempt self and felt that her life was probably ruined.
There was definitely hatred within her.
She hated the Mu Family, Mu Nianqing, Gu Changye and… Bo Hancheng!
“I’m not afraid of you, I hate you.”
Luo Zheng said coldly at the next moment.
Hate?
Bo Hancheng thought that he had heard wrongly.
When she said that she hated him during her relapse, he simply regarded it as nonsense.
However, she reiterated those words again at this moment.
He thought about everything and he did expect her to distance herself from him or even dislike him, but he didn’t expect her… to hate him!
She had always been warm, enthusiastic and sincere towards him. Yet, a girl like her… actually said that she hated him at this moment!
“Luo Zheng, what did you say? Repeat yourself!”
Bo Hancheng barked as he clenched his fists subconsciously.
“You didn’t hear clearly? Mr. Bo, I said… that I hate you!”
Luo Zheng exclaimed solemnly as she raised her head to look at him.
She hated the fact that he had made her realize the harsh reality and caused all her hopes to be dashed. She also hated him… for forcing her to end up in such a horrendous state!
Some addictions can never be kicked?
Forget it, I’m not going to kick it. I keep losing anyway, I might as well… lose completely!”
“Mr. Bo, didn’t you say that you don’t want to see me again? In that case, Mr. Bo, please keep your promise and stay away from me in the future!”
Luo Zheng somehow felt a piercing pain in her heart.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time.
After a long while, Luo Zheng began to find it hard to persist but she felt a sense of evasion in his gaze.
“Thank you for helping me this time, Mr. Bo, but if this happens again another time, I hope you will stay out of it! Whether I’m dead or alive, is my own business, it has nothing to do with you…”
Initially, Luo Zheng wanted to have a strong backbone and she sounded extremely confident.
However, for some unknown reason, her voice began to get softer and softer. She was not just lacking confidence, she was feeling… cowardly!
“Hah, are you throwing me away because you realized that you don’t like me, your substitute?”
Bo Hancheng asked softly in a self-deprecating manner.
Luo Zheng was stunned and she thought, what does this mean?
However, at this moment, Bo Hancheng suddenly turned around and clenched his fists, seemingly trying to leave.
At last, Luo Zheng let out a slight sigh of relief and was just about to put on the shirt.
To her surprise, he took a few steps forward and turned around again.
While Luo Zheng was feeling slightly stunned, he stepped forward again.
This time, he no longer hesitated and reached his hands out to pull Luo Zheng up by her shoulders.
All of a sudden, she seemed to be blooming in front of him.
Luo Zheng immediately reached a hand out in a bid to pull them apart with anger written all over her face.
To her surprise, he hugged her tightly while glaring daggers at her.
“Mr. Bo… ”
“Try calling me Mr. Bo again and see what will happen to you. Do you dare believe that… I’ll kill you!”
