"Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening."

Ye Qingti never thought to play a petty game of making someone jealous. Looking at the reddening cheeks of Feng Jiu, he sighed. Qingti can't blame the male population if they find Feng Jiu so alluring and especially breathtakingly beautiful. Like now, she's feeling the alcohol of the mojito they drank. Feng Jiu already drank 6 glasses of the mojito and her natural bubbly personality which includes being touchy is surfacing. Although Feng Jiu has still sobriety, 1 glass more and Qingti is sure she'll get drunk.
Qingti saw two new guest entered the large doorway of the restaurant and he stared at the pair. Then, he realized these two new guest are the reason of Feng Jiu's broken heart. Qingti smiled sardonically, What a great surprise and a coincidence is this. Qingti thought.
In Qingti's peripheral view, he saw the guy named Dong Hua Dijun stood and it is clear as the sun that the guy is enraged looking at them. He smiled at Feng Jiu in which Feng Jiu replied with a smile and a giggle. Perfect response sweet thing. Qingti thought.
"Are you still sober sweet thing? "
Qingti asked and saw Feng Jiu nodded like a kid. She's clearly intoxicated. Qingti thought. He saw the pair sat on the right row and two tables away from them. Clearly, the guy is looking at him and he can feel the burning gaze Dijun is throwing at his direction. Qingti wanted to laugh. Then he said,
"Sweet thing. Do you trust me? "
Qingti saw the worried look of Feng Jiu and like the usual, Feng Jiu held Qingti's hand infront of her. Qingti saw Dijun's profile straightened when Feng Jiu held his hand. He smiled sweetly at Feng Jiu and Qingti made sure that whatever he'll do, he will surely earn a reaction from Dijun.
Qingti raised his other hand and caressed Feng Jiu's warming and reddening cheek in which Feng Jiu unconsciously leaned to. Then and there, Qingti saw Dijun abruptly stood and he saw an unfolding drama of the lady tried stopping Dijun from coming over to their table and in which Dijun angrily grabbed his arm back that the lady is holding.聽
Qingti smiled triumphantly. This is so exciting. He thought but what he didn't expect is that, Dijun will punch him squarely on the face. Qingti's chair fell on the floor with him on it. Qingti shook his head. He felt a little bit shaken. He touched the side if his lips where the punch landed and he saw a little blood. A good and hard puncher. Qingti thought. He slowly looked at Dijun who is standing and ready to maul him but just in time his best bud stopped Dijun. Qingti smiled again. His plan succeded.
Meanwhile, Feng Jiu got surprised when Qingti sprawled on the floor and the unknown tall bulk of a man suddenly punched Qingti. Feng Jiu whipped her head to her left and looked at the man. Her eyes widened and she loudly gasped when she realized that the man who punched her bestfriend is no other than Dong Hua Dijun.
What is he doing here?! She thought. Feng Jiu suddenly became sober and when she saw that Dijun tried to move she felt afraid that Qingti and Dijun will come to blows and so, she did what is necessary. She abrubtly stood and stopped Dijun into mauling Qingti by standing in front of the tall form of Dijun.
Feng Jiu put her hands on Dijun's chest when he tried to move again and she felt his heart hammering hard on his chest. She also felt Dijun is shaking and she guessed... In anger. Feng Jiu is clueless and didn't understand where this anger of Dijun is coming from but based in his expression, he is ready to beat Qingti into a pulp.
Since she is not as strong as Dijun, she only did what most females do when their men are not focusing on their women, Feng Jiu bit her lower lip and slapped Dijun hard on the right side of his cheek. She saw Dijun blinked his eyes as if he just came out of his reverie and then he slowly turned his head and he looked down at her.
Feng Jiu saw Dijun frowned down at her. She can see anger visible on Dijun's face and she felt threatened. Feng Jiu decided to step back but what she did only caused Dijun to snake his right arm around her waist and pulled her roughly towards his body. She gasped and put her arms on Dijun's chest, putting some space between him and her.
Dijun's face slowly descended on her and it stopped inches away from her face. She stared at the angry but still handsome face of Dijun and she can feel his minty breath fanning on her face and then he said in an angry and dangerous whisper,
"Is he the reason why you easily broke up with me? Is he the reason?"聽
Feng Jiu felt how angry Dijun is at the moment and all she can do is stare wide eyed at him and rendered speechless.聽
Then in Feng Jiu's peripheral vision, she saw Qingti stood. She looked at Qingti in which Qingti smiled back at her. Feng Jiu knew all too well what Qingti's smile mean, Qingti provoked Dijun in doing this and that made her frown. Then her attention and gaze went back at Dijun when he spoke while eyeing angrily at Qingti.
"Don't you ever dare touch my woman. Ever again." Dijun said in a controlled voice but to Feng Jiu's ears, it seems he is sneering back at Qingti. Feng Jiu heard Qingti chuckled and then wipe the blood that came out again on the side of his lip. Qingti turned serious and glared back at Dijun and said,
"Yours? I don't see any ring on her left ring finger? Don't be so confident now Dong Hua Dijun. As far as I know sweet little thing here... "
Feng Jiu felt Dijun's arm tightened around her waist and when she looked at Dijun, she saw his defined jaw moved in anger. Feng Jiu closed her eyes and looked back at Qingti. Her heart starts beating wildly in her chest and felt afraid that these two will really go at it and beat each other into a bloody pulp.
"... Is still very single and still ready to mingle. She's not married to anyone... yet. " then Qingti smiled broadly back at Dijun.
Dong Hua couldn't control his anger any longer when he saw the guy smiled back at him. It's as if he already owned Bai Feng Jiu. Dijun closed his eyes. Then and there, he reached to a point where he will no longer be indecisive and when he opened his eyes again, he stared back at the guy and said,
"So naive of you. As of this moment, Bai Feng Jiu is no longer single. She'll be married to me within this month! "
It earned a gasp from everyone around them. Feng Jiu remembered that they are still in a public establishment. She turned and people are starting to take videos of the commotion they created. She winced and rubbed her forehead. This is really getting out of hand. She thought to herself. Then a woman suddenly appeared in Dong Hua Dijun's left side and Feng Jiu realized, this is the heiress of the Su Group, Su Ji Heng.
Feng Jiu felt a bitter bile coming out from her mouth and she scoffed angrily. She saw that Su Ji Heng eyed her back angrily and it made Feng Jiu raised her brows at this. What the heck is wrong with her? Feng Jiu thought then she heard Su Ji Heng spoke in a whisper,
"Dong Hua, stop making a scene. Come let's just go and look for another restaurant to dine and eat."
Feng Jiu saw Ji Heng grabbed Dong Hua's left arm which made Feng Jiu roll her eyes and she snorted. Again, this made Feng Jiu felt bitter and her heart breaking into pieces. You already broke up with Dong Hua, Feng Jiu. Let them go. Feng Jiu thought to herself and decided to stop all of this silly and petty nonsense.
Feng Jiu tried to pry off the right arm of Dong Hua that is still snaked around her waist. This action of her's earned an angry response from Dong Hua. She saw Dong Hua looked at Ji Heng and then Dong Hua said in an cold uncaring voice,
"I'll ask Zhong Lin to take you back to your hotel Ms. Su. I apologize if we can't dine today. My future wife is here and I need to put some sense into her as to not make me jealous in the future. "
Feng Jiu's eyes widened and she replied,
"You-" Dong Hua cut her off and he said,
"What ever you're going to say better keep it yourself Xiaobai or else I'll discipline you here in public. " there is a clear threat and warning laced on Dong Hua's voice and Feng Jiu ignored it and defiantly, she asked in a whisper,
"And what are you going to do? "
Dong Hua smiled down at her then he lowered his head and whispered on her ear,聽
"Since you are proving to be so difficult, I am going to spank you here in broad daylight while others are watching us. "
Feng Jiu gasped loudly and her eyes widened and then, they heard Ji Heng spoke again,聽
"Dong Hua, let's go." Ji Heng said with impatience and anger laced in her voice while her hand is still holding Dijun's arm.聽
Dijun turned his attention back to Ji Heng and he slowly pried her hand off his arm then said,聽
"I'm sorry Ms. Su but she's more important than anything. "
Dong Hua started to walk off and dragged Feng Jiu with his right arm still snaked around Feng Jiu's waist out of the restaurant and what's left in that commotion is the speechless and fuming mad Su Ji Heng and the laughing Ye Qingti.
