QT: Against My Will

79 2.65 – A party – Mr. and Mrs. Jelly

Stepping out of the elevator, both of them appeared in an underground industrial room, with concrete floor, black steel beams with hardwood furniture. Their battle stations occupied the left side of the wall, while their cinema and console zone was placed on the right side of the wall. In the middle, there was a pool table, a hockey table, a football table, and a poker table.

At the end of the room was a bar; a middle-aged woman was cleaning it. “Miss Bing Shi, Mr. Xuan Mu.” After a polite greeting, she left the game room.

“I’m taking the blue side.” Standing next to the football table; Bing Shi spoke out full of determination, “Ready yourself. I’m going to defeat you today!”

“Let me prove you wrong, by crushing you hard,” he said with a grin. He stood up at the red side. If people saw the scene, they would be in shock, as both of them blocked and attacked each other with extreme precision.

After lots of laughter and cries, the final result was 1:7 for Xuan Mu, who blinked in shock.

“Oh, my goodness! Did I score a goal!?!” Bing Shi laughed delightfully, “After a year?”

He pouted, “You lucky little monster.”

“I’m not a genius; my only chance to win over you is to become a monster,” she walked around and hugged him happily, “Thought you won, I feel like I crushed you instead. How does it feel like?”

He hugged her back, “Terrible. I need a consolation kiss.”

.....

Tiptoeing, she pecked his lips.

Women or men, he would never let them win. When it came to showcasing his dominance, Xuan Mu wouldn’t spare his girlfriend. Accepting her kiss with a grin, he gave her a little praise, “But also great, I like seeing your sloth-like progress.”

“Sloth-like?” Who needed his praise when she could praise herself, “My progress is monster-like.”

He chuckled, “Let’s play poker. Your poker skills need serious training; you speak too much during it.”

After they had enough fun, they prepared themselves for the birthday party.

Bing Shi with all the care she put into Xuan Mu’s skin, his skin became smooth and glowy, without a blemish. After placing a strawberry lip balm on his lips, she gelled his hair to the back. Grabbing his arm, she took him before the full-length mirror.

“We look like a vampire couple,” she spoke merrily, “Xuan Mu, no kissing, or I’ll stain you with my lipstick.”

“...” Xuan Mu looked at the gorgeous girl clothed in a black tweeted dress, her pale skin was hidden behind the see-through fabric, saying, “Bing Shi, we have to add some color to me, mark me with that bloody red lipstick.”

“...” She glared at his reflection in the mirror with a ‘What did I just say’ look.

“...” Xuan Mu sent her a flying kiss with a provocative grin.

She pulled up his shirt and kissed his chest, leaving a red mark on the top of his beating heart. The provocative grin changed into a melted grin.

As a woman, she was liked and hated at the same time.

Could someone remember Lu Wuhan? The C.E.O. of the largest electric power company in the country, who invited Xuan Mu and Bing Shi to his son’s birthday party?

This couple didn’t attend; it’s not like they were busy; it’s just their priorities which differed. To have Xuan Mu attend a party was a prestige. Usually, he’d refuse all invitations. If someone wanted him to attend, it often had to do something with money, so this birthday party became a business meeting at the same time.

As someone who had power, he didn’t have to show face to anyone, not even his parents, who couldn’t protest when Xuan Mu broke family ties with them, as he could destroy them in a blink of an eye if they gave him problems.

There were rumors that Xuan Mu’s wealth and power, was larger than Guan Lin’s, who after becoming a public figure in politics, was considered to be one of the most influential men in the world.

Even rarer was for him to arrive with his girlfriend, Bing Shi. If someone asked who they were the most envious of, they would say, Bing Shi, whose life was viewed as perfect.

As a woman, she was liked and hated at the same time.

Xuan Mu and Bing Shi in a helicopter, glanced down at the brightly lit superyacht. Men in tuxedos accompanied by beautiful women in beautiful gowns and glittering jewelry, stepped out of their expensive cars and limousines before the red carpet entry. Among them was Lucas together with Mia, wearing a creamy ombre long gown, she caught everyone’s attention.

After landing on the helipad, Bing Shi placed her hand on Xuan Mu’s elbow; together, they walked inside of the yacht. Getting access without an invitation letter, the staff greeted them politely. From a distance, a piece of instrumental background music could be heard, with a sound of laughter and chatters.

Bing Shi breathed in the ocean air while putting on a delicate smile, “This is going to be tiring.”

Xuan Mu chuckled, “I’ll accompany you for a while.”

The crew member in a uniform opened the door into a luxurious ballroom with glossy hardwood floors and hanging chandeliers. Crew members attended to the guests, while waiters carried trays with gourmet food and beverages.

Nobody noticed the arrival of a young couple as all eyes were on a beautiful woman in a white dress, playing violin on the stage, she looked like an angel that bestowed her visit to the Earth.

Bing Shi and Xuan Mu walked towards one of the dining tables at the back, sitting down on cushioned chairs.

“Isn’t she Guan Lin’s daughter, Guan Fei?” Bing Shi asked in curiosity, “Wasn’t she famous for being a good for nothing daughter? Where does all the elegance come from?”

Xuan Mu, without interest, started to play with Bing Shi’s hand under the table, “Who knows, one day, she suddenly changed from a violent tsundere into a mature woman. She is here in Guan Lin’s stead.”
