As he stepped closer to her, she threw a kick on his abdomen and he landed straight on his face on the floor. His lips cracked as blood oozed out in a trail down his chin.

"Being delusional is a disease, I guess.'

She grabbed her trench coat before putting it on her robe. This guy seemed to have gone crazy at this moment. It was better to get out of here before the authorities come and collect a dead body. That will be very troublesome.

She pressed a finger on her chin in contemplation. According to her assumption, Jun Zixuan is probably a member of the Amaranthine Royalty, they might not accept a violent daughter-in-law. Better just get out of here and protect her image.

"Where are you going?" Without replying to the man, she massaged her forehead and stepped closer to the door.

The rain, headache, and sleep left her mind in a bit of haze.

Just as her hand touched the doorknob, her leg was pulled back all of a sudden. Her trench coat landed on the floor and her robe slightly loosened.

She almost fell if not for her fast reflexes, "Are you that eager to die, hmm?" She grabbed his neck, squatting on the floor.

Zhu Boqin was taken aback looking at the murderous intent in her eyes. He was seeing her like this for the very first time in his life. A chill crawled down his spine but his determination did not waver, "It was you who started everything between us and now you are not even reciprocating my feelings. Is it because you got a better man? If he was not there, would you fall for me?"

She frowned. It was not that she did not want to do something extreme to this jerk but the thought of Li Shuang's disappointed face stopped her. How would she feel if she comes to know that her long-time loving boyfriend is now interested in her friend?

"If he was not here, I'd rather climb some mountain and become a monk than dating you," She pursed her lips when he ogled at her cleavage. She tightened her grip around his neck, "Don't force me to do something that might not settle well with my friend."

"You can't do anything to me," His voice came cracked because of lack of oxygen but that did not stop a sinister smile from spreading across his face which was so unlike of his gentle easy-going expressions.

Her brows tugged together in confusion. This lunatic…What is he up to? Before she could say something, a sudden pain made her freeze in her spot. A soft gasp escaped her lips as she turned her face to look at her waist where the man had forcefully stabbed a syringe through the robe.

The portion of the white fabric turned red because of his rough movement and in the next few seconds, her legs went a bit limp causing the grip on his neck to loosen. She took long deep breaths to keep herself in control while the man's derisive laughter rang beside her ear.

"Did you think I was unprepared? No, my dear. My plan A was to be soft and take you down but plan B was to force you into this. You can't blame me when it was you who dragged me in all of this. You've seduced me with every single smile, every single glance, every inch of your body," His red hair framed his face, his dark eyes boring straight into hers, "You're talking about Li Shuang? She is nothing compared to you. You know what? I'm obsessed with the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you smile, the way you play with your hair, everything you do becomes so fucking perfect to me. You're fire, baby. I've been noticing you for months. How could I not know what you are?"

She gritted her teeth enduring the hot sensations filling her body as she removed the syringe and threw it away before pressing a hand on her waist. Her body was going immobile. Noticing her for months? "N-No wonder, 'I am a jerk. Stay away from me' was written all over your face causing me to be disgusted at the sight o-of you."

His expressions shifted as his eyes burned with anger before he took a deep breath, "I love yet hate this about you. You have this control over me. But still, I love this more. The way, you are a naughty wild cat."

Her breathing turned ragged, "Oh, I can be your death too," She pushed him away and in a swift moment, he was thrown back, the back of his head collided against the rough surface as blood oozed on the white floor.

The man cursed under his breath but without paying attention to him, she pushed herself to her feet. Stabilizing her swaying body, she took a step towards the door.

"Do you think I will let you go?" He pushed himself to his feet and dragged her by her hand before pushing her towards the bed.

What is he made of? He is so weak then how could he take so many attacks yet still get to his feet?

She held the bedside table for support before grabbing the flower vase atop it, "Y-Your desperation for death amuses me," In the next second, she slammed it at him and it injured his hand. He cursed under his breath before sauntering towards her.

Her body was slowly losing strength. It was itchy and hot everywhere. She knew she could not deal with it anymore. This lunatic has caught her off guard today. She never expected a sneak attack from him considering the image he has always portrayed. She knew he was a jerk but he was such a high degree jerk, it was out of her expectations.

As Mia and her had cut off their connection, the former wouldn't be able to sense her danger. But as long as she called for her, Mia would be here.

Just as Zhu Boqin towered over her, she closed her eyes, 'Mi-'

'Bam'

Her eyes flew open.
