Chapter 494 – Apology

CHAPTER 493

He hated being the subject or object of discussion, especially when it was one that was against him.

"And what's with the laughter?" he questioned.

"Everything!" Bolin Choi said in between laughter.

"Like brother, you should think up a better excuse to use than that. We know you too well," Wen Yan chipped in.

"You think you do."

"We may not know you deeply but we are guys and we know a lie when we see one. Simple guys," Tai Hua said turning to look at the rest of his friends. "Himself and his sweety had a fight."

Hao Huizhong was tempted to punch them in the gut. They were taking this the wrong way and just…

Technically they weren't wrong. He only came to realize after some time. Of course, his lie was lame and if that was the case, would Bai Qing Mei see through him and get mad and not call him again?

Somehow he managed to brush it off thinking it was nothing and chat with his guys.

"So what if we quarrelled?"

"Exactly, it is now you are talking. You have said the truth but from the look of things, I think you should not keep her hanging for a while. The fact that she is calling means she wants to make up, so call her."

"Well, I would say so but then, Tai Hua, I feel he should ignore her a bit. This way before she gets into a quarrel with him again, she would think twice about her mistake."

"Ah! Wise, I love your plan better," Wen Yan agreed.

"Fine, at the end, it boils down to his decision. You know her best and you know which would affect her most. Just be careful before you end up losing her."

He let out a deep sigh and rubbed his hand over his face before looking at them each. "I would just let her be for now. Perhaps later, I would call her."

"Yay! That's our bro!" Wen Yan and Bolin Choi yelled out together.

It was only Tai Hua who had a different opinion and from how Hao Huizhong had acted because of Bai Qing Mei, he knew he really liked her and would be sad for him if their friends' stupid advice make him lose her.

Unknown to him, it was what Bai Qing Mei needed to keep the spoilt young miss in line and to make her value him some more.

Shaking his head at them, he picked his glass and seeped his wine gently. That was his usual, no wonder he was named the speechless guy.

***

By evening time when he was fully done with all that he needed to do, Hao Huizhong could no longer hold himself in and decided to call her back.

The call had barely rung up to how many times when it was answered.

Although it was hurriedly picked up, no noise came on either and that disturbed him.

"Qing Mei, I am sorry," he began but got no reply. "First I am sorry for missing your call and not contacting you. I know you are mad at me."

No response!

He waited for about thirty seconds but got nothing. "I am reaching out to you but it seems like you do not want any aspect of it, Qing Mei. I am sorry." He apologized yet again.

That was it, he was not going to say no more. He had even planned that he would not apologize but giving her ego and pride, he just did and yet she had the audacity to not speak.

"Okay, it seems you are busy or still mad at me. From today I would not disturb you or call you again. I guess you are faring well without me. Good luck with your Ye Cheng. Greet your grandfather for me."

With that, he ended the call and sighed.

It was then it dawned on her that he just cut all ties with him. She could not believe her eyes. She wanted him back but she was too proud to admit it but what happened next.

Feeling her fear take over, Bai Qing Mei quickly picked up her phone from the bed and looked at the dialled screen.

His name was still displayed boldly on the screen. Her fear suddenly began to tear and eat her up. She had to admit, she missed him not just having sex with him, she missed him for everything.

She did not realize it sooner but now, these few times they were apart and not talking were torturous for her.

She quickly unlocked her phone screen and put a call across to him.

Ring! Ring!

Unlike her, he refused to pick the call until it was close to going off before he answered it. Since she wanted to play at this game, he was going to tell her that two can play at it.

"Yes?' His voice sounded cold and far off, not the warning calm one that she used to get.

"Huizhong."

"Yes? What is it?" He did not have time for games. If she wasn't going to apologize for her own behaviour then she was on her own. "Speak up, please. I have other things to do and cannot play hide and seek with you on the phone."

She was well aware that he had crossed his limit. It was only on rare cases that she met him angry like this and today was another exception because she was wrong all along. Yet he apologized.

"Okay, I see you still think of this as a game then. Bye."

Just when he was to press on the red hang-up button he heard her voice loud and clear.

"I am sorry."

"You said?"

"Sorry."

'No recap what you said earlier on, everything." He waited patiently to hear her say all those words again. It was one in a million.

This was the Bai Qing Mei he knew, the rich and spoilt princess that felt everyone was beneath her. Now she was apologizing, wow!
