Chang Bingwen fought with his strong urge to sneer loudly at her words. He knew the truth but he still asked her. He thought she might be a little sensible. But reality proved him wrong.

    "Oh, Why did she do that?" Chang Bingwen asked.

    Xia Heru was stunned again. Why is he asking all these questions now? She couldn''t help but squint her eyes. But she was scared when she saw his sharp look at her.

    She understood he didn''t have any intention of letting this matter pass.

    "There is a person called Ho Joonjae at our university at that time. I used to like him. But that person didn''t like me. So I used to admire him from far.

    But that guy used to like Lu Yan Shu. He used to chase her. Even though she didn''t accept him. She felt jealous of me and turned one of my friends against me.

    My friend''s mother went to university and spoke with my dad and the Director. That day itself I was banned." Xia Heru said as she faked a sad expression on her face.

    He wanted to ask her that ''Are you sure you are talking about your deeds?''

    But he held them.

    "Lu Yan Shu??" He asked her.

    He really doesn''t know about her surname Lu.

    "Yea, Since she is adopted by San family her name changed from Lu to San but when she is still in her university her surname is Lu only." She said.

    "Hmm..." He said after he listened to her.

    If it was before he would have believed her words but now he knew her true colors how can he believe her?

    He wanted to give a mocking laugh to her. But all he can do is hold on.

    "It''s hard to deal with her when she is a daughter of San family and the President of SYS Holdings. She single-handedly acquired a hundred percent shared from Eagle groups without involving the San family.  Well, I have to appreciate her intelligence even though she is my rival." He paused.

    He saw anger rising inside her. The color on her face changed. He saw her clenching her hands into a fist which are placed on the table.

    He knew she doesn''t like her. He knew she doesn''t like it when someone praises her. He knew she will get angry if someone praises her. So, he praised her deliberately. Well, it''s not like he is lying. Those are true though right?

    "But now things are different" he continued.

    His words earned a questioning glare from her.

    "What do you mean by it, Bingwen?" She asked as she blinked her eyes.

    " You know about Chen Mu Sheng right?" He asked.

    "Yea," she said as she nodded her head.

    "Do you know the relationship between the Chen Mu Sheng and San Yan Shu?" He asked again

    "Yea, they are in a relationship for a long time. But still, they aren''t married." She said certainly.

    "No, they are married now. She is on holiday with him. I heard she won''t be coming to the office for another ten days." He said.

    He saw a shock on her face. Her shock turned to disbelief. He saw the turn of feelings inside her. Anger, hatred, jealousy, disgustion, what not, all kinds of negative feelings surged inside her.

    '' How can Yan Shu have everything? She had business, family and a good husband now. Why? Why can''t she, Xia Heru have them? Why that bitch is having everything?'' She yelled in her mind.

    "So, We can''t go against her. If I attack her now, I will be doomed. I never had any connections with the underworld businesses.  But that Chen Mu Sheng is the crownless king of the Underworld for this whole world. I couldn''t take the risk. " he said with his old tone.

    "Bingwen... Can''t you try one more time for me? " she asked with a sad look on her face.

    " Heru....." He took a deep breath and exhaled loudly.

    "I only want us to have a good life. I don''t want to have enemies anymore. I just want to have peaceful days. I just wanted to marry you and have children. I wanted to have a peaceful life.

    SeeYou

    at San Yan Shu even though she had more enemies who wanted to kill her. She didn''t care about them. She married the person she loved and went on a vacation with him without saying anyone.

    Why can''t we be like that?

    We will make a great couple than them and I''m so good to you. I can protect you well.

    While the Chen Mu Sheng couldn''t save her from mere two assassins. While on the other hand, she has to save him and herself.

    But we are not like them. We don''t have many enemies. We can have peace.

    Why are You thinking about the past, who didn''t even make any harm to you in the first place after you came to this country?

    Why can''t you let go of them?

    Why don''t you want to lead a happy life with me?  " he busted out.

    His sudden outburst made her dumbfounded.

    She couldn''t process his actions these days.

    He is acting jealous, unsecured, restraining her, and leaving her alone. He took her freedom and gave it back.

    She couldn''t understand why he is doing this.

    He even asked what happened between them in the past.in the past, he is not like this.  He never asked her for any reason. He did everything without asking her anything. Now he is questioning her, forcing her, torturing her and cornering her.

    Why?

    Because he changed.

    Why does he change in the first place?

    Doesn''t he love her anymore?

    He loves her but the way he loves her is changed.

    These types of questions and answers are running inside her mind.

    "you changed!" She spat out.

    It is not like a sentence but more than a statement.

    "Are you sure? Am I the one who changed or are you the one who changed?" He asked.

    She is stupified at his question.

    Yes, she is the one who is charged in the first place.

    In the past, she didn''t meet anyone except him.

    She used to cling to him all the time.

    She used to be sweet and lovely to him.

    She used to smile all the time.

    But what happened to those things?

    She met a man in a banquet. She saw hatred, anguish rose in him when he heard a certain name. Which is coincidentally the same bane which she hates that is "San Yan Shu".

    She got close with him to scheme against Yan Shu. Gradually she fell in love with him.

    But she asked that man why he hated San Yan Shu that much. But he never answered her. He used to say that she doesn''t need to know the reason but have to help him destroy her. From then she never asked him any questions.

    She did everything he asked her to do. She did them without asking him the question of why.

    She did all those things to do that man because she loved him.

    But why she has to do the things that Chang Bingwen asked her?

    Who is he to her?

    He is just a puppet that she and her ''lover'' using.

    What right does he have to ask her to marry him?

    What right does he have to make her do things?

    He is nothing to her.

    He is a fool in her eyes who does all the things which are asked to be done by her.

    Now, who gave the audacity to him to question her?

    How dare he question her back?

    It should not be like this. Things should go in different ways.  What went wrong?

    What made him change?

    " Bingwen you are not like this before," She said again.

    "You are also not like this before.

    Is it wrong to ask my girlfriend to marry me?

    Is it wrong to ask my girlfriend to live with me?

    I''m not asking you anything you to have a normal life how normal people live with me?

    Why can''t you do that to me?

    I did many things for you but why can''t you do some things for me?

    I just wanted to marry you and live with you.

    Why are you so against this?" He said as he slammed his hands on the table loudly, Which startled Xia Heru. She shrunk back into her chair.

    "Bingwen, I can do all those things. But I just want to do them after I feel peaceful," she said as she kept a scared expression on her face.

    "When will you be peaceful then?" He asked her seriously.

    Why he is forcing her to say things?

    She has to kill that bitch first. After that, she will ditch this idiot. Then she will marry that man.

    But why he is forcing her to say yes to marry him?

    Why things are going in reverse order?

    "After you dealt with that shrewd woman. I will be peaceful. We can live peacefully. And we can get married." she said as she continued to fake a sad expression on her face. She bit her like as she stared at him.

    Thinking that she might have convinced him with her act.

    But little did she not know that the person is not the same Chang Bingwen.

    "Why can''t we ignore her?

    Why can''t we remove her from our lives?

    Why can''t we go on with our current life?

    Why can''t you let her go?" He asked.

    He took a deep breath and said "Heru... From now just don''t think about her. Just think about our future. I''m not going to go against her anymore.  We need peace." He said.

    With that, he stopped talking and continued eating his food. He didn''t wait for her words to continue. He ate in silence.

    He said all these things to start an inner battle inside her mind. He is tiring her mentally. He is forcing her to take the next steps.

    Now he is sure that she will take the necessary actions to contact him.  A smug expression crept over his face.

    "I heard that you are staying in the home. And going out. Just take time to think things throughout. And hang out with them. I will not ask even if you don''t come home at night. But make sure you get over your past things" he said suddenly startling her. His voice is calm and gentle.

    He placed his chopsticks down and went upstairs as he finished his food. She started at his disappearing figure for some time before continuing to eat her food.
