Chapter 214: I would protect my woman



214 I would protect my woman

Liu Wei rested back on the cushion quietly, after some time; he closed his eyes to catch some sleep. Not quite long after he closed his eyes, he heard footsteps coming towards the living room. His eyes fluttered open and he glanced at the giant glass door.

Da Xia was holding onto Liu Wei's father's arm as they walked into the living room, her smile instantly paled as her eyes met Liu Wei's, she quickly looked elsewhere.

Mr. Fang, who was talking to her, saw her gaze and quickly traced it. His eyes fell on his son who was sitting complacently on the cushion.

As soon as his father stepped into the parlor, Liu Wei stood up from his seat and greeted.

''Good evening Father, it's been a while.''

Mr. Fang gazed him up to down for a moment before scolding with a glare.

''You're quite early! ''

''I'm sorry, something came up.''

''Indeed! ''

Mr. Fang ridiculed and walked towards an opposite cushion and sat down followed by Da Xia, Liu Wei sat down afterwards. He looked at the woman who was sitting beside his father for a split second before looking away.

Mr. Fang pressed a number on the house line and almost at the same time, a lady came rushing to the parlor.

''Bring three cups of coffee and some freshly baked cookies.''

Mr. Fang instructed without even looking at the maid, she nodded and walked away. Da Xia had been quiet from the start, just occasionally sneaking peeks at Liu Wei who was sitting in front of her with the most distant glare she had ever seen.

''I originally called to discuss something with you but I can see that it's not necessary anymore.'' Mr. Fang spat, he was trying not to sound too angry but it was not possible, every word that left his mouth carried a hint of anger in it.

Liu Wei did not respond; he remained expressionless staring at his father.

Mr. Fang had initially called to discuss the plans of his getting married to Da Xia since it was already nearing the end of the year but now it seems they had to deal with the third wheel first.

''So who is she? Who is that shameless gold digger who goes after married men?''

At this point Liu Wei's brows creased. His first impulse to was talk back at his father and defend Liling but he held himself, he was sure that doing that was going to bring more trouble than there already was.

''I'm talking to you son!'' Mr. Fang blared shaking slightly. Liu Wei furrowed his brows a bit as he saw his father's raged expression.

''There is no such person.'' He replied curtly looking indifferent. Da Xia's eyes lit up at his reply.

How could he say that there was no such person, does it mean that he intends to do away with that woman and marry her, obeying his dad's wishes?

She could feel a bubbling sensation in her heart, who would have thought that he did not even acknowledge that woman!

Liu Wei, who wanted to reply, paused as he saw the lady walk in with a tray. She placed it on the table before serving them on the side stools beside them.

When Liu Wei was sure that she was far gone, he picked his cup and took a sip.

''A gold digger, shameless and goes after married men, there is no such person in my life.'' He smiled and placed the cup on the stool.

''Rather there is an amazing woman who has stolen my heart and I don't wish to take it back.''

Da Xia felt her last hope crashing; just now she had thought that he did not acknowledge that woman but who knew that he was just defending her from the insults of his father. Slowly, she slumped back on her seat as she watched him with cloudy eyes.

''Liu Wei!!! '' Mr. Fang screamed.

''Don't be deceived by fantasies, it does not last. You will get married to…''

''Save your strength father, I won't marry that person by your side, not in life and not ever! All my life, I've worshipped you, I gave up my dream for you, wait… no, I never had a dream to start with!

My life was your masterpiece, you fashioned it the way you wanted but you know what, no more, I'm done doing what you want. If you want that person to bear the Fang's name so badly, you can as well marry her, your wife has been dead for over a decade!''

''LIU WEI!!! ''

Mr. Fang could feel his chest rising and falling heavily; he was already red with anger. Da Xia could have ordinarily tried to calm him down but at this point she was yet to come to terms to what she had just heard.

He could never marry her, even if they were to have another life, he would not still choose her. Wait, he did not even refer to her as a woman, he didn't even spare her a glance when he ruthlessly referred to her as 'that person' when she was visibly sitting in front of him.

Da Xia balled her palms into fists and her fingers dug into her flesh. She felt an intense pain on her palms but it was not compared to the pain she was feeling in her heart at that moment.

Liu Wei knew that his business there was over, so he stood up on his feet.

''Ah, lest I forget, I know you would go after my woman, but I assure you, I'll protect her even to my last breath and even if I fail to protect her, which I'm sure I would not, I would still not marry that person beside you.''

With that he strode off, leaving the two persons speechlessly watching the place he had stood..

Mr. Fang was quite for some time before he burst out laughing. His laughter was mixed with pure fury, it was heavy and eerie to the ears, Da Xia, for a split second thought he had lost his mind.

He immediately picked his phone and dialed a number, after several rings, the person on the other end picked up the call.
