Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Gongiʼs eyes glisten with lust at the sight of the sight of Yue Ling. His luck with women has always been bad due to his built since young. He had always been scrawny and had a horrible appearance. So seeing a woman look so weak in front of him, he loves it the most.

The back of his index finger slowly trace her cheek as it moves to her alluring plump lips.

Just as he was about to succeed, he hears footsteps approach from behind. Soon, a tall shadow overshadows him with a very menacing aura that caused him to shiver.

However, despite the sudden feeling, anger rouse inside him. He was just about to get to the good part. How dare one of the three men interrupt his time.

Without turning to see who it was, he close his eyes and growl in annoyance.

”Canʼt you see that I am busy? You can enjoy her after Iʼm done. Now get lost!”

Hearing his words, the person behind takes one step. Forward or back, no one knows.

Thinking his words were harsh enough, he place his full attention back on Yue Ling. However, when he opened his eyes to look at her again, he was dumbfounded.

ʼWhat the hell! Wasnʼt she…ʼ

Yue Lingʼs head was no longer tilted back. Her bluish green eyes stares directly back at the scrawny man. The look on her was not one of fear, but calm and indifference.

Women would have screamed in fear when they are in her position, but she was otherwise. It was like she wasnʼt tied to a chair but leisurely sitting in her office.

”H-How are you awake? Youʼre supposed to be unconscious!”

Gongi spoke his thoughts aloud as he stares into her mesmerizing eyes. He couldnʼt help but feel all the hair on his body stand up.

However, remember that she is still tied to the chair and Lu Tian is probably near his death, Gongi relaxed a little.

There was four of them and only one of her. Even if she tries to struggle free, they still have the upper hand.

Gongi sneers an evil chuckle and reach his hand to touch Yue Lingʼs smooth and soft cheek again.

”Since you are awake, this will be even better. I do prefer to see the woman under me struggle with all her might.”

Yue Ling stares at the man with slow blinking eyes. Though his hand is nearing her face, she was still calm.

Just as the tip of Gongiʼs fingers reach a distance of two inches from her, her left hand appears out of nowhere and covers her mouth as she sounds yawns.

”…”

Gongi was rooted to the floor when he saw this. His brain completely stopped working as he couldnʼt understand what just happened.

Wasnʼt Yue Lingʼs hands supposed to be tied behind her back? How could she easily free herself?

”Surprise?”

Yue Lingʼs angelic voice woke the man up from his daze. He looks at her with a grim expression, before scoffing a chuckle.

”So what if you were able to free yourself. Youʼre only a woman.”

Suddenly feeling confident by his own words, Gongi straightens his posture with malicious eyes staring down at her.

”You are nothing but a weak woman whose man couldnʼt even protect.”

He spread his hands out to show her the emptiness of the place like he was a God.

”You are outnumbered. What can a weak woman like you possible do to us?”

Listening to him blabber nonsense, Yue Ling sighs inside. She wish so badly to beat the living crap out of this man. No man should ever put down a woman.

Men do not realize that women may be smaller in size, but they are far more scarier than they think. Especially when a man decides to cross the line of a woman he does not know.

However, remembering the plan, she could only hold herself back from strangling Gongi to death.

Taking a deep breath inside, she stares at Gongi in silence. Within three seconds, under the light, tears welled up in her bluish green eyes. It was time to be an actress.

”W-Why are you doing this? What do you want?”

She suddenly looked so afraid like Gongiʼs words had frighten her to the core. The calmness she had before had disappeared and it made Gongiʼs head grow five times bigger.

He loves seeing woman scared at the sight of him. However, since Yue Ling is pretty, he will answer her question before having his way with her.

Besides, no one is here to save her.

”Since you wonʼt be alive for long, I will tell you why.”

He takes a step closer to her and slightly bends forwards to decrease the gap between them.

”All this is only a diversion to keep the infamous Lu Tian on this side of Imperial.”

His right fingers trace down from her temple to the end of her hair and he playfully twirls it around his index finger.

”You see. Lu Tian is too powerful. If we do not distract his attention elsewhere, my boss will never be able to escape.”

Letting go of her hair, he sneers at her as his words continue.

”Itʼs a great pity that you are his woman. You are his weakness and because you are his weakness, all his enemies will come after you. Just like the situation you are in now.”

Like the fragrance of her hair had lingered onto his hand, he lifts his hand to his nose and inhales the sweetness of her scent.

”Luckily we got to you first.”

Feelings his desire for her burn more, he lowers his hand and reach to touch her chin.

”Donʼt worry. I will make this a memory you will never forget but dream of every night.”

[”So what if you were able to free yourself. Youʼre only a woman.”]

Just as Gongi was about to touch her again, a sudden voice stops his hand in midair. He stares at Yue Ling with a perplex look only to see the expression on her face return to calm and indifferent.

It was as if she never had teary eyes or a weak and frightened appearance.

However, the look on her face was not the only thing that shook him. It was the sudden voice that spoke.

It was his own voice.

”Y-You…”

[”You are nothing but a weak woman whose man couldnʼt even protect.”]

Hearing his own voice and words echo inside the empty shop, Gongi subconsciously moves away from Yue Ling. He swallows with great difficulty and takes a step back.
