Chapter 683: [Bonus chapter] Intruder

*************

CHAPTER 682

That day came quickly and just like that, it was fast-moving. Chen’an did not return home and instead made her way straight to work.

She was an editor and did a little bit of content writing. So she returned to the office and since she was properly taken care of in Ye Cheng’s house, she had freshened up and even brushed her teeth there.

Her only mistake was the food she rejected in anger before and for her safety. So when she returned home finally, it was already late in the afternoon.

The sun had set. And once she entered her apartment, she made a note to check the time and saw it was 5 pm.

That day was a weekend so she closed earlier. Normally she remained in the office, drawing comics or reading one but today, her brain was not up for it and she came home.

.....

“Ah!” she sighed, inhaling the smell of her house and smiling. How she missed being home.

Quickly she switched on the light and locked her door, before changing shoes and wearing her indoor footwear as she made her way further to her living room.

“Gosh! That was one way to start the weekend.”

She rested against her couch, throwing her legs up on the couch.

“I just want a great bath. Some pampering and whatnot. Tsk, I wish all of this would be given to me and nice s.e.x at that. Gosh, if I can find someone in my life as cute as Mr Ye.”

She shook her head. Instantly she heard the same ringing she got when Li Jing slapped her hard across the cheeks.

A shiver ran down her spine at the thought and she reached up to ma.s.sage the cheek Li Jing slapped so hard.

All through that day, she was not productive as her mind kept on replaying the incident and then she thought about him.

“No, no, no. I cannot think about Mr Ye, but perhaps I can think about someone else while I relieve myself of this endless tension between my legs.

Closing her eyes, she leaned her head back some more and spread her legs wider again as her mind scanned her brain for the face of someone, not Ye Cheng.

Finally, her mind rested on him. Ren. She did not know why she thought about him but then her heart began to thud wildly, thrashing around in her chest.

“Whoa! Why would I be thinking of him?”

The second she mentioned him, she heard a crashing sound and she jolted in her seat. “Gosh!”

With her hand pressed on her chest, Chen’an’s eyes went wide when she felt movement again but it wasn’t coming from the living room Thank G.o.d.

She closed her legs, dropping her skirt and looking around with scared eyes. She was not so sure as to what was happening but she knew she had to figure this out.

“Okay, Chen’an, you got this.”

She did not bother with her flops and tiptoed towards her kitchen and got a knife before listening carefully to the sound of laboured breathing coming towards the pa.s.sage area.

Slowly, ever carefully, she made her way there, following the sound and trying to understand what was going on.

“Arr....” She heard a low grunt.

‘He is injured,’ she thought to herself. ‘G.o.d. Here is my chance but then he seems to be in my... d.a.m.n it my room.’

She picked up her pace but was still careful enough until she got to the door of her room and stayed at the side of the wall.

Counting one to five slowly in her mind, she shut her eyes, held on tight to the knife and when t got to five, she moved out from where she was hiding like an armed man would do and pointed it at the intruder.

To her surprise, she did not catch the person at the centre of the room but one thing she saw caught her attention.

She looked at her side close to the door and found her dustbin filled with pieces of clothes, bandages and the likes, all filled up with blood.

In fact, the stench alone was enough to make her want to puke. This has always been one reason why she chose not to dwell on science as.

The thought of seeing blood, especially as a nurse, or doctor.

One word, it was simply GROSS!

She quickly used her left hand to cover her mouth and managed to hold it all in, till she turned her head to the side some more and caught sight of a leg trying to hide.

Her eyes went wide again and she felt even bolder than before.

Quickly she transferred the knife to her left hand and used the right to switch on the light in the room ads she rushed after the leg and pointed the knife at him.

“Freeze. Hands in the air. One wrong move and your leg would be gone,” she threatened quickly, hoping to instil fear into the heart of the intruder.

It was after her lovely intro speech that her gaze fell on the face and body of the intruder and if she thought her eyes had gone wide before, then it went wider by the second as she stared at the one man she least would have expected to act that way.

“REN!”

He raised his eyes too. All this while he had been lazy. Too lazy to bother with her. He was injured and driving or going to the hospital was out of it.

“Chen’an?”

Her gaze fell from his face to his to the side where she saw him holding the bandage that was wrapped on his shirtless body. And oh, what a muscular torso he had.

She shook her head. That wasn’t the matter at hand. Following the trail of blood on her floor, she saw that his leg had a bandaged wound too on his thigh.

Her lips fell open instantly. He must have been hurt from the attack yesterday.

He left them no choice when he ran but this...

She dropped the knife instantly and made her way towards where he was. Somehow seeing him like this, she could not help but feel sad and sorry and her heartfelt pained by it.

“Ren, what happened to you? Why are you badly injured like this?” Her gaze raked his whole body. Although he had been bandaged up by himself, he looked weak.

She had to wonder if he had been here since last night without leaving to get anything to eat and all.

From the look of things, he lost much blood and did nothing to get more. Sadly, he may not be able to go out in this condition and b.l.o.o.d.y state. It wasn’t like he entered a man’s house. She was a girly girl with girl’s clothes.

He wished to answer but did not have much strength for that.

“By the way, how did you find me? What are you doing at my house? Are you stalking me now or something? Tsk, you really are something,” she commented as she held his shoulder, trying to shake him out of his dizziness.

“Shhh... Talk too much.”

That was all he said and he collapsed in her hands.
