Looking at Jack who was still on his knees, Ziying said, "Jack get up, please don't create a scene here."
"I won't go unless you forgive ."
"I have forgiven you a long ti back, I don't have any hard feelings for you anymore. It's been so many years already, why are you making a scene now?" she sighed. She had no idea why her ex-boyfriend was suddenly down on his knees, begging her to forgive him.
Grabbing her hand, Jack exclaid, "If you have forgiven , then co with ."
Scrunching her brows, she pulled her hands away. "You are already engaged to soone else, what is wrong with you?"
Taking off his engagent ring, Jack threw it away. "I don't care about that, all I know is that I love you and I want to be with you."
When people started crowding up the place, Ziying pulled Jack up. "Get up." Looking around, she muttered, "Stop creating a scene here."
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she explained, "What we had in the past is already over, what you are doing isn't appropriate. You should leave, we will talk later."
Wiping his tears, Jack asked, "Will you call later?"
"Yes," she agreed. Since she had date plans with Chen, she didn't want to deal with Jack at the mont and kill the vibe. She also understood that no matter what she told Jack, he wouldn't leave so the most sensible thing was to sohow chase him away and talk to him later.
But little did she know that soone didn't like the way she dealt with the situation.
After getting an assurance from Ziying, Jack left.
Looking at Chen, Ziying sighed, "I am so sorry about that, I don't know what is wrong with him. He has never done sothing like this before and—"
Cutting her off, Chen questioned her. "So you are going to call him?"
"Yes, I an I need to talk to him about this and clear things out," she answered.
"Why didn't you clear it out when he was here?" Before she could say anything, he snapped, "Or maybe you didn't because I am here too."
"What are you talking about?" she frowned. "Why would I hesitate to talk to him in front of you?"
"I don't know, you tell ."
Placing her hand on his arm, she explained, "Chen it's nothing like you are thinking, I sent him away because I didn't want to create a scene here. Jack ans nothing to —"
"Why didn't you tell him that then? Why—" Stopping midway, he sighed, "You know what, I don't wanna know. I need to be by myself now, I can't talk to you now."
"You are calling off our date?" When he did not say anything, she tightened her grip around his arm. "You are overreacting for nothing." Jack really didn't an anything to her, how was she supposed to make him understand that?
Without saying anything, he removed her hand from his arm and walked away.
"You can't just walk away without discussing it properly," she snapped. When he did not respond, she frowned, "Fine, go wherever you want to." She then barged towards the building but ended up spraining her left ankle.
"Ah—" she yelped before falling on the ground. Holding her ankle, she hissed in pain. When she saw Chen coming towards her, she frowned and tried to get up. She then started limping towards the building, enduring the sharp pain.
Just then, Chen approached her and scooped her into his arms.
"Let go, I can walk in by myself, I don't need your help," she retorted.
"I'll leave after dropping you inside your apartnt, I don't want your Jack to bla if sothing happens to you," he snapped before stepping inside the elevator.
Looking at him with teary eyes, she pursed her lips. "You are being an now."
"I am being an?" he scoffed. "Fine, I am an then."
…..
Inside Ziying's apartnt.
Placing her on the couch, he asked, "Do you have any ointnt?"
"Cupboard, first drawer," she answered.
After fetching the ointnt, he gave it to her and said in a very cold voice. "Apply it." Before walking away.
Grabbing his hand, she gently remarked, "Don't go."
"Let go of my hand."
Scrunching her brows, she forced herself to stand up. "Enough of this cold treatnt, what is your problem? Why are you overreacting over such a small matter?"
"Small? You think what happened is small?" Without waiting for her reply, he forced her to sit before snapping at her. "Why didn't you tell him to just go away and that he ans nothing to you. Why did you assure him that you will call him?"
"Then what did you expect to do? I dealt with it in the most sensible way I could. And Jack is not like this, he must be going through sothing so—"
"So you still care about him? Now what else do I need to hear that you still love him?" Chen knew he was being petty but at the mont, he had no control over his overwheld jealous emotions. Seeing a man hug and touch the woman he loves made his blood boil.
"Where did that co from? When did I say that I love him?"
"Well, wasn't that evident?" he retorted.
"Jack was in a very vulnerable state today, no matter what I would tell him, he wouldn't have listened to . There was no point arguing with him today or telling him anything. This is why I thought maybe calling him later and clearing things out would be more sensible," she explained.
"So what are you gonna do now? Go and pet him or you wanna sing a lullaby and calm him damn emotions down," he yelled.
"You are being petty now, what is wrong with you?" she frowned.
"Okay—" he mockingly chuckled, "So his emotions are genuine and my emotions are petty for you. Then fine, go and take care of his emotions and I will walk away with my petty emotions."
