"Mo Wushuang!" Long Chengtian suddenly shouted, his voice almost piercing through Wushuang's eardrums. She picked up a drink can and threw it at him, her eyes showing some displeasure.
"Shut the hell up for me! I know my name is Mo Wushuang without you shouting it."
Long Chengtian was fuming with anger but also felt helpless. He had always been powerless against Wushuang. When she chased after him, he could only retaliate or run away. This woman was like iron-willed steel-skinned, impervious to any words or actions. No matter what you say or do, if she doesn't like it, it goes in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring your feelings and forcing you to accept her pursuit with domineering arrogance. Even when she shot dead his woman, she didn't feel a bit of guilt; instead, she coolly stated that she did so because the woman had blocked her path.
Though he knew what she said wasn't true, hearing it made anyone's blood boil. There was no way any woman could be so arrogant and self-willed. He always knew Mo Wushuang harbored feelings for him but thought it was just a game to tease him.
He also hated her, hating how she ruined his original happiness, how she barged into his life without warning, and most of all, her capricious nature that made everyone feel like they couldn't hold onto the wind. No matter if it was stay or go, she would do as she pleased.
He wasn't sure whether she really had masochistic tendencies or not, but when she chased him, she suffered and resisted, and upon seeing her, he wanted to kill her. He made use of her to help with all sorts of dirty deeds, including murder. Wushuang always knew about it, yet she was willing to do them as well. He understood that she wasn't the kind of woman who would blindly follow a man's orders, but rather she was most likely trying to atone for something and thus compensating him.
The more she had this mentality, the more he exploited it, making use of Wushuang even further than before. Whenever she went anywhere, within a month, she would return to Eastern Europe and continue chasing after him. His subordinates were all very familiar with her by now.
Until this time, something had happened to her in London, and he was restless in Eastern Europe, wanting to know if she was alright but not willing to lower himself to contact her. Knowing Wu Shuang's background and how capable she is, plus the fact that London is a hotbed for terrorist organizations, he believed she would be fine. However, with no news from her for so long and unable to get through on her phone, he became very worried. Coincidentally, there was a deal in London, which could have been handled by just sending someone over, but instead, he went himself and found her in the garden with Kaka.
He had heard that conversation.
The feelings she has for Kaka, he's always known. He also knew that Kaka rejected her, because Wu Shuang is an honest person who once told him about someone she liked for many years whom didn't like her back. She couldn't bear it but also couldn't give up on the hope, and with each attempt to convince herself to let go, she found herself unable to do so. Over these years, she watched helplessly as her youth was buried day by day.
Even after burying her youth, she still refused to let go.
But when he saw the look of resignation in her eyes upon Kaka's "I'm sorry," his feelings were complex. There was a sense of relief and happiness for Wu Shuang, but also a complicated mix of emotions.
Wu Shuang should have let go long ago.
Ten years of selfless devotion and company only to be met with two rejections and an "I'm sorry" - not every woman would spend ten years of their youth on an unreciprocated relationship.
Neither would every woman love a man so thoroughly for such a long time.
He gave her an easy way out and let her walk with him to avoid embarrassment, after all, it was the territory of the First Terror Organization rather than the Black Hand's. He could also sense the unpredictable atmosphere within his headquarters, but who would have thought that Wu Shuang wouldn't appreciate this gesture and followed the Masked Ghost instead.
The Masked Ghost was an unexpected element in Long Chengtian’s calculations; given her character, she only had a few childhood friends whom she was close to. With such a brilliant personality, no one dared to get too close to her, regardless of gender.
She and the Masked Ghost hit it off from their first meeting, and she even followed him around. This infuriated Long Chengtian; this anger had been suppressed since London and was now boiling over in Eastern Europe after hearing about what happened in the Philippines.
Meng Wushuang was right—men are lowly creatures.
Long Chengtian, seething with rage, glared at her menacingly. "I've never seen a woman like you; your face can change as quickly as flipping through pages of a book."
"You’ve met many women who aren’t like me." Wu Shuang said coolly, looking at Long Chengtian with an ambiguous smile. "Didn't it occur to you that I might not be afraid to yell back when we were alone in my home"
Long Chengtian proved once again that he didn't care about his life; Wu Shuang was left speechless, brushing her long hair and laughing with grace. "Long Chengtian, you have important matters to attend to in Eastern Europe—get back there now. I need some time off to acquaint Ghost Face with the operations of the Black Hand's organization. I don’t have the time or patience for your cat-and-mouse games."
"He’s a man and doesn't need you to teach him about the inner workings of the Black Hand," Long Chengtian rolled his eyes, knowing that this was just an excuse.
"I'm happy to comply. I don't have much, but I do have plenty of time," Wu Shuang deliberately teased Long Chengtian. Who cared that this guy had given her so many unpleasant looks in the past Although she didn’t mind, she still retaliated fiercely. However, returning tenfold was definitely her principle.
Long Chengtian was furious. He waved his hand and wanted to leave, but after taking a few steps, he turned around and sat on the sofa, staring coldly at Mo Wushuang with narrowed eyes, as if he planned to stand firm against her.
Wu Shuang found it amusing watching him; this person was always so stubborn.
Savoring her long hair leisurely, she paid no heed to Long Chengtian's glares and thought that people who had broken up were supposed to change their hairstyle and mood. Perhaps she should go out and get some curls done since any hairstyle suited her.
Alright then, that was settled.
Long Chengtian stared at her; seeing that Wu Shuang didn’t speak for a long while, he asked in a deep voice, "Mo Wushuang, are you really a woman How come you don't have any signs of heartbreak"
She was still playing around as if nothing had happened.
"What is the expression for being heartbroken Wanting to die from pain and despair, seeking death" Wu Shuang raised an eyebrow lazily leaning against her own sofa with deep purple eyes focused. "If crying, throwing a fit, and hanging oneself could work, I would have already done it long ago. There’s no use in wasting energy on something that doesn’t work."Damn girl!" Ye Feimo gritted out three words through clenched teeth, barely holding back the urge to strangle her."Ye Feimo, why did you bring me here to act with you" Warm asked sternly. After acting...
