Darren had been caught kissing a man. Darren was gay!
Liu Yunlong's squinted his eyes, full of doubt, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Darren is gay. When I was walking to the bathroom yesterday night, I noticed two men kissing and it turned out one of them was Darren! He doesn't like women. Liu Yunlong, you should be pleased with yourself then because it seems that Li Yi's perfect marriage is fake!" Qian Qian said haughtily.
When Qian Qian turned to speak to him again, she found that Liu Yunlong had disappeared. She stomped her foot in frustration. Why was he so ungrateful and rude?
Liu Yunlong slid into his car and dialed Xiao Tian, his assistant.
"Xiao Tian, I need help locating a certain someone. I need to know where she is right now, " Liu Yunlong said hurriedly.
"Okay."
Meanwhile, in a luxury car somewhere, Li Yi looked out at the scenery outside the car window. She knew she had to leave this place again later today.
"Keely, are you sure you want to go back to China together? We might not visit this place again once we leave."
Li Yi nodded, "I'm sure."
She didn't want to come back either.
She'd met Liu Yunlong's new girlfriend last night. She was beautiful, innocent and cute. She was relieved that she possessed all these good qualities but her heart throbbed in pain at the thought of both of them together.
Goodbye, Liu Yunlong.
All of a sudden, she was broken out of her reverie by a loud bang. A car had crashed into theirs. Darren immediately reached out to steady Li Yi, "Keely, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. What happened?"
"I think it might have been a rear-end collision, " Darren said as he looked up to see the driver, "Mr Liu?"
Li Yi followed Darren's gaze and watched as Liu Yunlong got out of the car quickly. He came to her window and tapped on it lightly.
Li Yi rolled down the car window, revealing Li Yunlong's handsome face, his features brooding and intense.
"Are you crazy? Why did you crash the car?" Li Yi yelled.
Liu Yunlong ignored her and shouted, "Get out of the car!"
Li Yi scanned the strange expression on his face, "What do you want? I think I've made it pretty clear that I don't want anything to do with you. You should leave now."
Liu Yunlong pursed his lips shut and opened the car door.
"You!" Li Yi was stunned.
Liu Yunlong grabbed her from the car and flipped her over his shoulder. Darren, who had been sitting quietly in his seat, was equally shocked. This unexpected turn of events was unfolding too quickly.
"Mr Liu, please let go of Keely. She doesn't want to go wherever it is you're going with you, " Darren said sternly.
Liu Yunlong glanced at Darren quickly and warned, "I'll have my lawyer send the divorce papers to you. Please sign it immediately once you receive it unless you wish to see news of you being gay plastered all over the media."
Liu Yunlong walked away in large strides.
Li Yi was thrown into the passenger seat. She tried to get out of the car but Liu Yunlong, anticipating her escape, had locked the door.
"Liu Yunlong, what are you doing? Were you provoked by someone? Let me out of the car! I have to go back to China with Darren!" Li Yi demanded.
Liu Yunlong leaned over and clicked her seatbelt in place. He placed two fingers on her soft chin, "Do you like addressing me by my name now?"
Li Yi turned her face away, realizing in some part that this was true. She'd called him Brother Ah Long in the past but never by his full name.
Liu Yunlong started the engine and pulled out onto the road.
"I'll help you with the divorce. You can stay at my place while the papers are being signed. I'll discuss with my mother the day after tomorrow what we should do about our wedding. Just let me know what style of wedding dresses, rings and rooms you'd like. I'll fulfil your every request, " Liu Yunlong said confidently.
"Liu Yunlong, I won't marry you!" Li Yi said incredulously.
"Who will you marry then? That gay man?"
Li Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, "You!"
"Yes, I know all about it. I know you won't answer me even if I ask you questions. In fact, I don't want to know anything more about this situation. Let's just move on and leave all this in the past. Marry me, I can make you happy for the rest of your life!"
Li Yi's face turned pale and she clenched her small fists tightly, "Do you know what you're doing? You're kidnapping me!"
"Oh, is that so?" Liu Yunlong smirked, "You have a cell phone on you. Call 110 to arrest me."
"You can't bear to do that, can you?" Liu Yunlong's eyes looked at Li Yi, exuding warmth.
"Be my wife then, " Liu Yunlong said softly and lovingly.
When they eventually reached his apartment, Liu Yunlong forbade her from leaving. To show her displeasure, Li Yi locked herself in her room. Her door remained shut even as the maids brought an onslaught of plates of delicious food to her door.
Liu Yunlong studied the situation. He hadn't gone out once since he'd brought Li Yi home. When the maid brought the untouched food down, he frowned and asked, "She still won't eat?"
"Yes, she hasn't eaten for two meals. She couldn't possibly starve herself to death right?" the maid asked worriedly.
"Got it. You can go back to the kitchen."ｆ𝓇𝗲ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛𝚗oνel - 🅽🅽novel
"Yes, sir."
Liu Yunlong walked to the tightly shut door and looked down at it. He resisted the urge to knock on the door and went back to his room to grab his guitar.
He stood outside Li Yi's room and plucked the guitar strings melodically, singing, "The little rabbit opened the door obediently, open it quickly, I want to come in."
Upon hearing this, the maid downstairs laughed. She couldn't believe her boss was actually singing the nursery rhyme, 'The Little Rabbit Obediently".
His raspy voice was filled with care and love. It was so sweet-sounding and pleasant to hear.
As Liu Yunlong's melodic voice filled the air, the maid started to blush. She had seen numerous men pour their emotions into songs. In fact, one of them had performed an awful rendition of "Two Tigers" on a balcony and had proceeded to cry, howl and beg his wife. The stark contrast in the manner with which her boss was coaxing the lady in the room and the men she'd seen over the course of her life had never been more apparent.
Her boss was so perfect, he could have been a model.
From inside the room, Li Yi's ears perked up at the soft singing outside her door. The beautiful smile lines on her face softened under the dim yellow light and the corners of her lips rose.
She heard footsteps walking away from the door and a few minutes later, she heard a knock on the door. The maid was back. She bit her lower lip and opened the door.
In the studio, Liu Yunlong relaxed into the soft black leather of his office chair. He looked down at the magazine on the table.
Xiao Tian knocked on the door and came into the room.
"What's the matter?" Liu Yunlong chucked the magazine away hurriedly but before he could toss it out of sight, Xiao Tian had stolen a few glances at its cover. It advertised wedding dress and rings.
"Look, Yunlong, Tong Da called earlier and he wishes to hold a concert where you'd appear as his important guest."
Tong Da had been one of the mentors on the talent show Liu Yunlong had appeared on many years ago. He'd been the only one who recognised his talent. He gave Liu Yunlong his seal of approval and it was precisely this nod of recognition that opened the door of opportunities to Liu Yunlong. He remained immensely grateful towards Tong Da for this.
"Yunlong, Tong Da hasn't been very popular in the music scene recently. I think he's trying to take advantage of you and your popularity, especially since you're almost like a god in the industry right now, " Xiao Tian said.
