Another Bad Boy Down

"Come on dear. I need to go out for a while. Please! You can ask me anything in return. You will just keep Neo company for a while. If he decides to go home then fine but accompany him till he does." Qian said as he pleadingly held my hand in his.

"Why not just tell him to go home and rest? He must be a very busy guy so going home after eating dinner with us is also fine. Besides he is your visitor, not mine. You should be responsible for entertaining your guest's brother dear." I said to him.

"I know but there is an emergency and I can't just leave my life savior alone and unattended," Qian said.

"Mr. Yan can take care of him." I coldly said to him.

"It is different if a young beautiful maiden like you will accompany him," he said without batting an eye.

"Are you selling a girl or something? How can you treat your beautiful and innocent little sister like a host in a brothel?" I angrily glared at him.

***moments later***

Cold night air coupled with a starry night sky above. The air is filled with the sweet scent coming from the rose garden and the lights are perfectly arranged to make the scenery breathtaking. This looks like a romantic scene in a romance movie but to me, it is a very dangerous scene in a thriller movie. I am now sitting two feet away from Neo in our back garden after my older brother successfully bribed me with ancient artifacts from across the world. How can I say no to those priceless treasures?

Accompanying Neo in exchange for such precious items is a pretty good deal. I can deal with the devil as long as he does not use underhanded means like for example blackmailing the beautiful and innocent me. He better leave soon while I am still in a good mood. Unfortunately, he is nowhere near my expectation because right now he is standing in front of me and is looking down at me intently.

I frowned at his actions. What does he want now? Is he challenging me or something? "Is there anything wrong Mr. Yuan?" I asked him.

He shook his head and sat back down but now he is sitting right beside me on the long bench. A crease formed on top of my forehead as I stayed still. I don't want to make anybody contact with him so I decided not to protest and just to stay stiff like a tree so that I don't accidentally brush my delicate body with his dangerous sexy and appealing - them nevermind.

"Do you think I'm a good guy Ms. Tan?" a cold indifferent voice said which made me shiver in shock. I was surprised that he actually started the conversation with me. I thought that he would stay quiet until he leaves and what is with this weird question? Is he testing me? Is this one of those psychological questions?

"No. I don't think so." I said to him with a serious tone of voice. I straightened my back and intently looked at the roses. I dont think that lying is going to work so i better answere this question with sincerity. Everyone calls him the demon king anyway.

I almost jumped to my feet when I suddenly felt warm air brush by my right ear. A minty smell then reached my nose and a seductive yet very intimidating voice sounded right next to my ear. "Aren't you aware that being too honest will only get you into trouble?"

Goosebumps then run through my spine as I tried my best not to show him how surprised and affected I was because of our closeness at the moment. I still remained calm and collected on the outside acting as if the demigod, who is now a point away from my skin, is invisible. I stared straight in front without moving an inch, afraid that a slight movement will cause a very big damage to my still recovering dignity. I can hear him perfectly! Why does he have to get this close and to the point where his lips are now almost touching my ear?! Is he trying to provoke me?

"Mr. Yuan, do you need space? Because it seems like I have to ask for a longer bench next time you visit." I said to him.

I felt Neo move a bit away from me which made me feel relieved in an instant. Good! It seems like this guy still have a bit of sense left in him.

"I think that a longer bench will be a waste of money and effort. You better request for a shorter one instead." Neo said in an indifferent tone of voice.

Me on the other hand almost lost my calm and indifferent demeanor when I heard him say those words. A shorter bench? What does he mean by that?

"Are you trying to use my brother to blackmail me further? Because if you are, then I am warning you right now that it will not work." I said to him.

"Saving Qian Tan that time was never my intention. That stupid anti-fan of his was blocking my way so I got rid of him. I never thought that my action actually became favorable to me. Don't flutter yourself too much Ms. Tan. It is not good for your health."

Fadjie Bar! What? What did he just say!? I hastily moved my body to stand up and give him a good beating when the button of my jeans got stuck in the wooden bench in the process, which resulted in me loosing my balance and falling down toward Neo. Now I am sitting on his lap with a dumbfounded expression on my now light pink face.

"Your mother was right. Girls do throw themselves at me." Neo said with a smile on that handsome face of his.
