Stealing Your Heart

Chen Shihan was not to be befuddled by him this time, “Are you teasing me now? Are you saying that you like me? Do you mean to say that you do not want me to marry Zong Jinghao?”

Li Zhan refused to give up, so he looked dejectedly at Chen Shihan while he slowly withdrew to put some distance between them before he swallowed hard and said hoarsely, “If you think I am just messing around then be it. If there is anything that I have said which you should find unconvincing, you could just take it that you have not heard them.”

Upon finishing, he turned to leave but paused just as he got ahold of the door handle. Without turning back, he stated, “I was not lying when I said Zong Jinghao has some serious issues.

Even if you were to end up with someone else, I would still give you my blessings, but please know that I would not muster the courage to say what I did, had it not been that he was the one you wished to marry.”

Li Zhan immediately felt disgusted with himself and kept his back towards Chen Shihan in order to shield his contorted face. “I sincerely wish for you to find yourself a good man. However, if you insisted on marrying Zong Jinghao, by the gods, I would stop you even if it means having to crash your wedding as there is no way I will allow you to ruin your life through him.

When we were schooling, we heard of the idiom ‘Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman’. I was disdainful of it until I realized the depth of the feelings I have for you. So do not tell me that I am disregarding our relations by divulging his secrets because I would gladly break a leg for your sake if you asked me to.”

Women were emotional beings and Chen Shihan was no different. Li Zhan’s heartfelt confession had left her somewhat rattled.

“Take care of yourself.” Li Zhan moved to pull the door open swiftly to not give Chen Shihan any time for consideration with the understanding that people tend to act irrationally when under duress.

His mind games paid off as Chen Shihan came after him and threw her arms around his waist, “You… did you really mean it?”

Li Zhan feigned anger and tried to brushed her off, “Everything was false apart from the fact of his twisted psyche!”

Chen Shihan’s arms then tightened around him, “I heard you admit that you like me so do not dream of walking back on that. You even went to great lengths to warn me about Zong Jinghao’s mental condition so you must be true to me. You know, you are not bad looking but it is just that…”
