103 LET’S HAVE A BE

Guan could not help but laugh. "You better remember that because once you fall in love…"

"I'm not going to fall for you and that's a promise," she butted-in and looked at him with determination.

"But what if we do?"

"We won't." she insisted.

He lifts his brow and had an idea. "Want to make a bet?"

Before Liu Yang could answer, the designated staff arrived with a bottle of wine and poured their glasses, then left.

"So," Guan continued, "what do you think?" he swirled his glass then took a sip from it.

She scoffed and looked at him with a hint of disgust. "It's a childish game. Why don't we just work on how you can totally remove Ms. Min inside your heart? I think that is much more…practical and mature."

Guan laughed with his eyes shining. Liu Yang and was in trance and felt her heart bloat. She had to look away from his face to avoid his eyes.

Then, she heard him say, "Okay, fine. But let me tell you the content of the deal in case you changed your mind."

Liu Yang turned her face back to his and saw him smiling. 'Fuck! Why do you have to be so handsome right now?' she cursed and scolded him in her head.

"In six months, if I still have feelings for Min Chu, I'll resign as the CEO of Yinyang and move to America, and compensate you with a huge sum of money."

As she heard it, Liu Yang's widened in surprise. She opened her mouth but no words were coming out of it.

Then, he continued, "But, if I fall in love with and vice versa," he paused and looked at her seriously, his smile fading, "…you, are going to marry me."

Silence followed between the two of them while staring at each other. The chattering of people and clinking of cutleries could be heard.

Marry him? Liu Yang went dumb for a while. Just then, a peal of crisp laughter escaped out of her lips that made Guan frown in pure confusion.

"What childish game are you trying to pull?" she said in between her laughter.

"I'm serious." A cunning smile appeared on his lips. "Why? Are you afraid that you are going to get back to your words and fall for me?"

"Fuck-off!" she pouted.

Guan almost choked on his drink when she heard her curse. The wine almost spilled on his pants. Good thing he had quick reflexes and escaped on time. He dabbed his mouth with the table napkin before saying, "Did you say the 'F' word?" his tone was somewhat amused.

Liu Yang raised her brow and laughed at his amusement. "So what?"

This woman gave him another surprise – well, more like a fright. What will happen to him in the future? She might give him a heart attack.

He took a deep breath and chuckled. "That…gave me a fright."

The staff arrived with their food. As the whiff of the food's aroma came in contact with Liu Yang's nose, her stomach started growling. Due to the fact that she had eaten lunch past the time, the emergency meeting drained all her energy even though the content were mostly just announcements and reminders.

"So, deal?"

Liu Yang raised her head from staring at the food to his face. "What?"

Guan rolled his eyes and impatiently asked again, "Deal?"

She giggled at the way he acted. He looked cute that way, she thought.

"Come on," he pleaded.

Liu Yang bit her lower lip and thought about it, hard. Her mind is full of 'what if's' as of the moment. But then, she came up with a decision that will change her life.

"Fine. Since we already started did, why not gamble?"

"Is that a yes?"

She pursed her together and nodded.

Guan grinned from ear to ear. "Then, I am officially your boyfriend and you are my girlfriend."

She reached for the glass of wine and shove the content into her throat, not leaving a single drop while he watched her do it and felt helpless. She really is not like any other girl.

"Do we have to go that far? We are just acting?" she said after putting the glass.

He poured him another glass and replied, "The more realistic our acting is, the better."

Guan did not know if his words were for her or more for him.

"Let's eat. I could sense how hungry you are."

Liu Yang wrinkled her nose. "Hmm. Good thing you have a keen eye."
