CHAPTER 298

Letting out a sigh, Andromeda agreed, "I guess I would take you on your offer. After that, I need to be on my way."

"Why? Is my company not fun?"

"Not that. I got something to do."

"Like what?" He questioned her quickly, not giving her a chance to escape. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

"I need to find my boyfriend."

"Hmm missing him already or what?"

"Yeah. Wait. No…" she shook her head and frowned.

"You don't need to know the details. Anyways it does beat running away from crazy fans," Andromeda said as she took hold of the opportunity to change the topic.

"Hahaha… Sure. Whatever you say. Let us go then. I can help you out on your search since I troubled and delayed you."

"Alright but no funny business."

"Hey, I already promised. Besides, I was only concerned about you," he defended.

"Yeah, yeah. Bleh, one can't be too trusting of the male gender. In fact, of anyone."

"Hahhaa, you sure are something else, Miss Kai."

"Right back at you."

As nice as that afternoon was, sadly it had to come to an end for the two of them.

After eating and searching Andromeda failed to find Liu Xueyi.

Although she didn't, she was glad still that they were able to avoid any of his crazy fans. And after everything, she returned to her friends for some evening relaxing time.

"Hey Andromeda," Xu Fang called out to her."

"Yeah?"

"Did you find him?"

"Umm, no. Sadly, I couldn't. But I wish and hope he hasn't been in a meeting all day. It would be too tiring," she emphasized.

"I understand. By the way, thanks for the drinks and ice cream."

"Anytime," Andromeda said with a smile.

"And here," he leaned down close to the small table and picked up a canned drink. "I saved you a drink. I am guessing you bought one for yourself, giving our number."

Her smile reached her eyes at his thoughtfulness. But keeping her thoughts to herself, she reached for it and took it. "Thanks."

"No problem."

He gave her a small smile and went about his business. However, his smile never left his face.

While they were being chased, he happened to see her with him and for the first time since he knew them both as a couple, Xu Fang felt satisfied.

"Unfortunately, you found him, Andromeda and I bet you had lots of fun," Xu Fang muttered.

*****

With the sun down and the sky completely dark, Andromeda finally retired to her hotel room.

She was already too tired for anything at this point.

All she wanted was to bathe, wait for Liu Xueyi or preferably sleep before his arrival and she did just that.

Getting to the hotel room, Andromeda was surprised to meet Liu Xueyi seated on the bed and not in the living room.

At first, she felt he was still going to be handling one meeting or the other considering he did not put a call or text through to her in the first place.

And thinking about that, her lips tugged down into a frown. She had been worrying her head all day thinking about him but here he was, taking his time.

Noticing the frown on her face, Liu Xueyi let his eyes take in all of her and noticed she had her blouse raised up, revealing her belly.

No doubt she was about to free herself, forgetting she shared the room with him.

To his surprise, instead of uttering a word to him, Andromeda stormed off and went over to the wardrobe to get her clothes.

He smiled in understanding and got up. Slowly, Liu Xueyi walked over to where she stood busy with her clothes as he wrapped his hands around her waist.

Just seeing her get angry, he was instantly reminded of how worried she had been in the first place when they met that afternoon.

Of course, she had every right to get angry.

"Before you kill me," his deep voice rang out close to her ear. "Hear me out first."

Not giving him the time of day to defend himself, she uttered sharply, "Get off."

"No. Listen to me, please. I am sorry."

Shutting down his words, she placed her hands over his and tried desperately to pull them off her but no matter what she tried, she just couldn't.

"Stop struggling, Andy. Please. I am sorry."

"Sorry? You left very early in the morning without a single word or note. All day you never showed up and to make matters worse, not even a call or a text. Sigh and you tell me you are sorry?"

Both of them paused. She did not have the strength to argue with him and wished he would respect her wishes and let her be.

Or was it the opposite of what she wanted?

"I thought you clearly said you do not want anything to do with me?"

"What?"

Annoyed by his assumptions, she turned in his arms, glaring daggers at him. "Excuse me?"

"Yeah. You did not even want to stay with me yesterday. You were mad at me on so many accounts."

"That's because you ignored me, Xueyi. You left without seeing me. You never picked up any of your calls. I even went to your house but you were gone."

"I did not want to disturb you since you were with your best friend. Andy, you picked him over me, what was I supposed to feel?"

"You were getting jealous unnecessarily. He has always been my friend and he needed me." 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

"I wanted you too," Liu Xueyi half yelled as he let her go.

He did not want to shout at her but Andromeda was driving him nuts.

She was back here in his arms and he still could not do anything about having her.

Left to him that wasn't fair. He had waited since Tuesday to hold her in his arms, cherish her and pet her but what did he get?

"You always have me, Liu Xueyi but he doesn't."

"I do not always have you. I was travelling and I wanted to spend time with you. You know the reason why I was in a hurry that day?"

"No," Andromeda breathed out and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"I wanted to finish up with my packing and come over to your place, so I can spend time with you before I leave. But instead of coming with me, you chose another man over me. I was hurt."

The more he spoke on the matter, the more he let his pain resurface.

He thought he had done perfectly well in concealing his emotions but once again because of Andromeda he was like an open book.

"Xueyi."

"No," he raised his palm in front of her. "Stop it. I left to give you space. I do not want to be a controlling boyfriend. I trust you, yes, but I feel somehow seeing you chumming up with another man."

Andromeda gazed at him with sadness etched in her eyes.

Never did she want him to feel bad about her. Or dwindle the trust he had for her. "I'm sorry."

"So, I left. Because I needed to get my head back and not always get jealous."

"You refused to pick up my calls."

"I… I know it was wrong of me. I only waited for you to come here and I have been busy."

"Not an excuse Liu Xueyi."

"I know and I am so sorry."

"Then why didn't you call me today? I searched everywhere for you."

"Yeah. You did. And I saw you were enjoying yourself today."

"What?"

Her eyes flew wide open as she stared into his eyes. She did not know how he knew but more importantly, Andromeda did not want him getting the wrong idea.

"Huh?"

"I saw pictures of you and someone else."

"Xueyi I…" Before she got the chance to explain herself, his eyes twinkled with mischief in them.

At that moment Andromeda knew there was no escaping this.

How was she going to deal with a jealous Liu Xueyi when on the other hand, she felt guilty for being close to Ye Yuan in the first place?

"Is my girlfriend feeling guilty now?

"I didn't do anything. We were chased by his fans."

"Fans?" he asked, pulling his brows together.

"Yeah. It was Ye Yuan I met, your friend."

Liu Xueyi scoffed a little and placed a foot forward. "I see. Tell me more."

Judging from the predatory look in his eyes, Andromeda knew she had gotten herself into a hot pity of stew.

"I thought you said you weren't jealous?"

"Nope," he wrapped his hands around her waist once more and pulled her closer to his body. "I wasn't jealous but now, I think I may just be."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. So, love how do you plead your case?" He placed a finger underneath her chin and tilted her face so she was facing him.

"Guilty or not guilty?"
