Chapter 315 - Dark And Scary

Meng Ya didn\'t respond.

Fu Renshu had never seen her so afraid before. Indeed he wanted her to feel this fear so that she would finally give up on urging to tell the truth to Lihua.

But a bitter taste settled on his tongue, seeing her hugging him hard like this as if her life depended on him.

He slightly moved to fetch a bottle for her to drink some water, but she shrieked. "D-Don\'t go! Please don\'t go! Please don\'t leave me alone…" she cried even harder.

Fu Renshu was taken aback. "I was just bringing water."

"I don\'t want it!"

He stared at her. At first, he hesitated, but then he gently began patting her head. "I won\'t go anywhere, okay?" He said in an attempt to soothe her.

Meng Ya felt a little better hearing that.

Fu Renshu asked as a thought crossed his mind. "You...have nyctophobia?"

She stiffened and stayed silent.

With a meek voice, she slowly said, "...I got locked up in a room once for the whole night. I-It was really dark... and scary…"

Suddenly, he understood why she was resisting that hard. Imagining a small Meng Ya all alone in a dark room, crying for help made his heart squeeze in agony.

He shut his eyes, feeling extremely guilty. "I am really sorry for bringing you here. I didn\'t want to remind you of your fear. But I just…" he sighed, "Meng Ya. You cannot fight Boss. I don\'t want you to clash with him because it is only going to end up with a terrible disaster. In the end, you are going to suffer and I...I don\'t want that," he slightly hugged her harder as he said that. "That\'s why I brought you to my house. I wanted you to be safe because Boss is merciless when he is threatened."

Meng Ya remained silent. Her crying turned into soft sniffles, feeling warm by his pats.

"But trust me. Boss really loves Madam. I know he has taken an extreme step and I cannot reveal its reason to you, but he doesn\'t want to lose her. Boss isn\'t being harsh. He is just really…afraid. He is just a man hopelessly fallen in love with your friend. Boss has lived a very lonely life until now. I have worked for him for years. The one who has changed him so much is Song Lihua. The one who brought him out of his shell is her. Life will become meaningless to him if she leaves him."

She slowly opened her tear-stained eyes and thought about her best friend she hasn\'t met in months now.

I really cannot fight him, right? I really cannot save Lihua…

"Renshu."

He felt his heart skip a beat hearing his name from her lips.

"What your Boss is living in right now is just an illusion."

He froze.

"He has made a mistake. He is afraid of Lihua learning the truth. But to hide it, he has made even a bigger mistake."

He said nothing.

"This mistake is making him walk on thin ice that will eventually break apart. Illusions don\'t stay forever, Renshu. He has to understand that. I just hope that he is ready to bear the consequences once everything is out. It doesn\'t matter if he stops me. Truth will be out in some other way or through someone else, but it definitely will. He cannot hide it forever."

His gaze dimmed. He had nothing to retort because he knew she wasn\'t wrong.

She faintly smiled. "Honestly, the best way to lessen the gravity of his mistakes is for him to confess everything to Lihua. It\'s dangerous, I know that and not like Lihua will forgive him even if he said the truth himself. But at least she will know that...he really cares about her feelings. She may not be able to forgive him, but a little bit, just a little bit...she may not hate him either."

Silence.

Fu Renshu had nothing to say in response. She was right, but there was no way that Wei would ever agree to this. What she was suggesting would never happen.

He spoke in a hushed tone, "...What you said...I will try convincing Boss about it."

Meng Ya slightly widened her eyes in surprise. "Y-You will?"

"But don\'t hold any hopes. Ninety-nine percent, he won\'t agree at all. He cannot bear losing her and confessing everything himself will be the last thing he would do. It\'s like hitting his own feet with an axe. I will talk to him so... so please don\'t approach her anymore."

She felt the desperation in his voice as he urged her.

Meng Ya understood that it might be useless, nevertheless she felt her heart flutter in happiness to know that Fu Renshu was willing to try for her sake.

He pursed his lips. "I really don\'t want to keep you imprisoned like this. I was following Boss\'s orders but more than that...I just did it to protect you."

He finally admitted the last part that he always had been avoiding to face.

She softly clutched his shirt and whispered, "Thank you."

"En."

They remained in each other\'s embrace just like that in the car without realizing that they were too close to each other.

Suddenly, it became completely dark outside as the street lamps got switched off because of a power cut.

Meng Ya froze with the sudden darkness, and she gasped. "L-Lights! What happened to them?"

"Calm down. It\'s a power cut."

She started shivering again, and Fu Renshu could hear the sound of her uneven breaths. She restlessly moved, her eyes brimming with tears.

Fu Renshu wanted to switch on his car lights, but the driver seat was far away due to him holding her in his arms. She would panic if he tried to move from his spot.

"Meng Ya-"

"D-Don\'t go! It\'s too dark…" she sniffled.

"Meng Ya I will-"

She tightly hugged him, feeling her heart jump in her throat. The memories of that lonely night in the dark and pitch black room invaded her mind, and she couldn\'t think straight at all.

"It\'s scary…" she burst into tears.

Fu Renshu clutched her hair and tearing her buried head away from his chest, he forced her to look at him. "Look at me. I am here right beside you. Are you still afraid?"

Even in the dark, Meng Ya could see his black orbs shining that were only focused on her. Her eyelashes trembled.

"T-that…-"

The rest of her words remained unsaid as Fu Renshu pulled her head towards him and kissed her lips.
