"What do you want from me?" She directly asked, not intending to hide it anymore because she knew it won't bring anything to her. 

Ye Shing simply stood with the support of his door and looked at it with his amaze eyes. 'She isn't getting afraid and why is this making me more interested in her?' He did not know the answer but his eyes never left her figure and his not afraid face. But unknown to him, internally she had built her walls high against him and his tactics. She wasn't going to give in so easily.

"I don't want anything from you, I simply want to make you understand a few things and rules of my room." His words made Qin Mei a little frown because this wasn't how he speaks. so affectionately!

Never! His tongue is always sharp, especially with her since she had started spending some time with him. But keeping her confidence high as before, she looked into his eyes and asked, "Which type of rules are you talking about?"

"First, you will have to keep me company too when I'm bored and never try to interfere in my personal space. Seconds, you aren't allowed to talk to your boyfriend especially here." Her eyes widened in surprise. Never she expected him to bring jer boyfriend into this! 'How the hell is my boyfriend known to him?' She had made sure to keep her relationship private as long as it's all right with her boyfriend. But he knew, and she was mentally cursing him for it!

From the change in jer facial expression, he knew that this was something she never wants to disclose and he appreciates it too. It's her life after all.

"Do you understand?" He asked her again to receive her nodding her head vigorously. 'I have a weakness of yours in my hand, Qin Mei.' He smirked thinking about how her body reacted when these words left his mouth.

"Hmm.. now you can do your work." After hearing this, he simply sat on his bed and she gave him the prescribed medicines and checked his blood pressure and temperature once. Making sure that I was all right, she sighed in relief and made him sleep for at least some hours. The sleeping black marks can be seen under his eyes and now she knew why his mother especially asked for a caretaker.

'He is already so big and yet he requires a nurse. Looks like he is still careless when it comes to his own body.' Qin Mei took the nearby couch as her resting place where she took out her books and started reading some study material required for her exams in the coming sessions.

Just like this, at least two hours passed and after that, Qin Mei looked up from her book to find Ye Shing still sleeping. Her eyes just stared at this god gifted face. He looked peaceful and the angry fave was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by any child sleeping sound full and she did not know why but her heart warmed up a little.

Adjusting her wide glasses, she tied her ponytail into a bun to avoid her hair from falling. Her beauty wasn't much enhancing, having pimples too but she had that aura which made others think she is a super nerd!

Shifting her eyes from his face, she looked at her phone which was vibrating. Her boyfriend was calling and she just messaged him.

QIN MEI- I'm at work. We will talk later.

But unknown to her, her gaze was long noticed by Ye Shing, just he did not open his eyes, afraid of making her scared. It wasn't his business what she did and he didn't even plan to keep a check on her. 

But maybe after sharing a few talks and some thoughts, he found her interesting and attractive. As a strict person, whom he appeared to be, never ever in his life span, he tried to be after someone especially girls and he tries to stay away from them as much as possible. 

'This girl.. she is different from others.' 

He knew this and finally admitted it when today, he looked into her eyes in which she was hiding many things.

"Qin Mei, don't fall in love with someone cold like me. You won't find anything." He gave voice to his thoughts and Qin Mei looked at him with confusional eyes. But after seconds, it clicked her and she understood what he meant.

"Don't worry. I don't plan to be in love with you. Just don't play dirty tricks." 

"So what if I play? Will you get seduced and that boyfriend of yours will be insecure? Tsk tsk, he doesn't trust you and even let you go to such a place where you have to take care of someone like me? Who is already so handsome?"

In return for his talks, he received a glare from her and understanding that she doesn't find it funny.

"What happened? I just started a harsh reality in front of you."

"You are no less than any other male of a rich family, too much overconfidence that every girl will fall in love with you otherwise your ego won't be satisfied, right?" This made him speechless. Ye Shing can't ever expect her to compare him to those rich brats!

His eyes turned cold and looked at her with his chilled face. The gentleness and warmth, which arises a few minutes ago, was now gone and now, she faced a real demon!

"I dare you to compare me with them! Otherwise, be ready to face the consequences!" Qin Mei sneered after hearing this and again concentrated on her book, ignoring him totally which actually made Ye Shing even more interested in her.

While her eyes were glued to the words written in her book, she suddenly spoke which alerted Ye Shing.

"We are nothing, Mr. Ye. I'm your nurse for some time being and you are my patient, so just maintain that relationship. I'm least interested in making friends with you so please.."

...

Su Xi was pacing back and forth in her while tension was written all over her face. Today, the reports of the person, who was there in the picture along with her parents were going to come.

She had asked detective and hackers to find but it was still not known. Eagerly waiting for the call, Su Xi only prayed that the person is not someone whom she loves dearly! Otherwise handling the shock will be too much for her. 

RING RING!

Her phone rang, hurriedly, she picked up the call without even looking at the dialer, "Hello?! Did you find anything?"

"Su Xi, it's me, Gu Yan." She frowned and looked back at the call who dialed her number. From the bottom of her heart, she did not expect a call from him at this time. After the fight at her place, they haven't contacted each other even once. 

Her heart is pondering over all the possibilities that he might have called her now. "H...Hello. Why did you call me?" Su Xi can't help but ask straightforwardly. Her voice was a little shacky from the nervousness. Hands already wet due to the sweat and clutching her dress tightly, shopping for him to speak anything good rather than something which will result in them fighting again.

"Why are you so reluctant in letting me go near my children?" 

"Gu Yan, can we skip this talk for now? I have some urgent matters to attend and we can discuss it later on." Su Xi tried her best to delay the talk related to this. Not because she wants to keep her children away, but because she can get some time to figure out things and make the situation a little better.

But it looked like Gu Yan was a little persistent. "Su Xi, they are my children. I agree that at first, I intended to show off my children but now, I have decided that we will just change their name but they won't be known to the public till you agree and they are sensible enough." 

This was a good idea but the person behind their lives is still roaming around. He must be having some really good contacts that are keeping an eye on her every move otherwise, he won't know a single detail of her life like this! 'I wish we can do this but it's out of my hands, my love.'

Taking a deep breath and composing her loud beating heart, she replied, "You are right in your place but as I told you, I and my children aren't in our best phase. So please give us some space. We can contact you whenever we get free and our stress is gone."

He stayed silent on the other side. She can hear his breathing as if he was giving it a deep thought. 'His silence is giving me a heart attack! Damn you Gu Yan, who asked you to be extra smart at this moment and go for DNA!? Was I an idiot who did not use my children to cancel your engagement!?' Su Xi can't help but think about it from her point of view. 

"Su Xi… it's complicated between us."

She agreed to this. It was way more than complicated. Suffering from not one thing but so many? Their life was hanging on the threat and one mistake will just blow up their head.

"We will talk about it some other day." It was really difficult to lie so easily. 

Maybe because she had never said anything wrong to him my entire life. Not only she was distancing them now, but keeping him away from his own children is also one thing which is disturbing her mentally. How can she forget what Ye Nian said today? She wants both of them to come to her school as a couple which was impossible for now.

"We can talk about it some other day, Su Xi. But can I at least have my children once? Properly as a father?" Now, tears were flowing out of her eyes. The guilt might eat her up. She was just denying him his rights on his own children!

"Gu Yan… For now, I'm sorry but no!"

"Just tell me one thing, Su Xi." He paused as she carefully listened to what he wanted to know this time. "Are you hiding something from me?"
