The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise-Chapter 231 Zhirens FanClub
Ru’s eyes were glued on the screen while Ji Syaoran’s eyes were stuck to her face. Before leaving the room, Ru had already untied her hair and now the long locks were left untamed. She was wearing a t-shirt with a black and white striped palazzo which made her feminine looks to shine. Up close, Ji Syaoran did find Ru very familiar but he couldn’t bring his mind to remember anything.
"There it is..." Ru’s sudden words jolted Ji Syaoran awake and the inspiration that he was feeling earlier was instantly lost as well. He looked inquisitively towards Ru and heard her say, "It’s a girl as I had expected it to be."
"Why were you sure that the culprit would be a girl?" Ji Syaoran was frowning with his attention solely on Ru. He didn’t even bother looking at the screen yet. For some reason, her answer was more anticipated.
"Idiot! Only a girl could take advantage of a drugged Zhiren. Isn’t it obvious?" Ru replied matter-of-factly.
"Bro is drugged?" Ji Syaoran’s reaction seemed exaggerated to Ru.
She rolled her eyes at him and with a thoughtful expression looked back at the screen. "Now the question is... Who is she?"
Ji Syaoran looked at the screen and his expressions shifted instantly. "Why is she here?" He asked.
"You know her?" Ru looked at him questioningly.
Ji Syaoran hesitated before replying, "Bro didn’t tell you about her?"
"Was he suppose to?" Ji Syaoran nodded and she added, "Is she someone important in his life?" Ji Syaoran shook his head without even taking a second. Shrugging her shoulders, Ru said, "Then Zhiren wasn’t supposed to tell me about her."
Ji Syaoran’s expression was weird as he looked at her. "I suddenly think that shirt of yours is meant just for you."
Ru looked down at the shirt that had the inscription of ’I’m a little chili’ and smiled at him saying, "You both brothers have a lot in common." She clicked her tongue and asked, "Now, would you mind telling me who she is?"
"She’s from bro’s fan club back in college. She had been trying to seduce him for years now." Ji Syaoran explained with a dissatisfied look.
"I asked who she is. Do I look interested in knowing what obsession she has with your brother?" Ru’s voice showed her impatience quite well along with her exasperation.
"Her name is Ansley Barrington. Oddly, that’s all I know about her." Ru nodded her head but suddenly her brows snapped together in suspicion.
"I’ve heard that name before..." She scratched her jaw in a pensive manner. "Ahan! Now, I remember it!" Ji Syaoran had to ask what she remembered when she whispered a name in his ear and asked, "Is he here?"
Ji Syaoran nodded his head and gave her the details. Ru’s next words were, "Give me the room no."
Ji Syaoran was skeptical about her intentions but he didn’t voice out his suspicions as he somehow managed to provide her with the room no. While leaving the security room, Ru tapped on the security head’s shoulder awaking him from his hypnosis. Ji Syaoran was still amazed because of her expertise.
Hypnosis wasn’t a joke especially on someone with a strong mental strength such as the security head who was trained for years. But she still managed it within minutes which meant that her mental capabilities were stronger than him.
Taking the elevator back to her own floor, she said goodbye to Ji Syaoran and walked towards the room no Ji Syaoran told her about. As she knocked on the door, she cracked her knuckles as if preparing for a fight or more like a one-sided beating.
When the door opened, a very familiar face came in view. And that person was none other than... "Hello, your highness Adrian Alister."
Indeed. It was none other than our Prince Adrian himself. He was the person about whom Ru asked earlier to Ji Syaoran and he had replied with, "Royal families from eight countries send their representative each year. I heard Prince Adrian came this year on behalf of his brother who was busy with something else."
And that’s why Ru asked him for Adrian’s room no. The purpose for her was simple. Adrian was in for a one-sided beating! Oh, how she missed beating him!
And that’s exactly what happened, Adrian had yet to open his mouth to inquire about Ru when she held his wrist, twisted it behind his back and slammed him against the wall. The impact made his jaw hurt. It was a wonder that his teeth were intact. But all of his bones were screaming in pain.
"Hey! Who are you? How can you treat me like this?" Adrian’s face was squished against the wall along with his body. He tried to move but how could Ru let him do so? Adrian couldn’t even move an inch under her strength. His muscles were for a show but Ru’s weren’t. Every toned muscle of her body was the result of her rigorous life.
"Ansley Barrington. Does the name ring a bell?" She asked in a forced manner.
"Why are you asking about my fiancee? And how do you know her?" Adrian screamed in between his grunting sounds. "Let me go before I call security. Don’t you know who I am?"
"The fact is that Prince Adrian that you don’t know who I am." Ru’s menacing voice put Adrian under a spell of goosebumps.
"Who are you?" He asked vigilantly as danger bells rang in his mind. Somehow, he had a feeling that he wasn’t gonna like her answer at all.
But Ru wasn’t inclined towards answering him just yet. She twisted his arm, even more, making him shout in pain and said, "Wouldn’t you love to know who I am? But I’m not here for introductions."
"Then why are you here?" He asked.
"Why did you bring your fiancee to this cruise?"
"Because she requested to tag along."
"Hmph! It’s not like you ever listen to her. What changed this time?"
Adrian’s eyes widened. "How do you know how I treat her?"
"Forget that! And listen carefully, your fiancee spiked my boyfriend’s drink and I recently also learned that she’d had been pinning for him for a long time." Adrian was speechless to hear that. "Aren’t you feeling degraded being her fiance?"
It took him a minute to reply, "She always had a crush on my best friend. Not on your boyfriend. And besides, she’s not my choice."
"You bloody Brighter! Who do you think my boyfriend is?"
"Ow! Go easy there tigress and how would I know who your boyfriend is? Unless your boyfriend is Zoran." When Ru stayed quiet in reply. The danger bell in his mind did a ding-dong. "Your boyfriend is Zoran?"
"Why do you think I’m here?" Her cross-questioning actually confirmed his fears and Adrian felt like screaming at the top of his lungs. He knew that girl was gonna get him in trouble one day.
"Bloody Hell! She actually did that? To my best friend?" He was cursing his fiancee without even thinking. "By the way, shouldn’t you be beating her? It’s her fault. How am I being implicated?" He wasn’t the least bit affected that she was planning on cheating on him. He was angrier because her target was still his best friend.
Ru struck at the middle of his spine with her elbow making him grunt in pain. "It’s your fault because you gave her access to this cruise. It’s your fault for having such a dumb and cheating fiancee. And last but not least, I have a rule; I don’t beat fragile, docile girls. They make me feel nauseated." 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
"You’re a girl as well," he pointed out.
Ru cleared her throat and said, "But I’m not docile or fragile!"
"That I agree with completely." He replied. "Now let me go and don’t think I won’t get back at you for this insult. I’m Adrian Alister, you can’t just beat me like this and walk away. Who gives you the right to do this?"
"I’m Quinn Knight. Does that name also ring a bell?"
Adrian’s face paled instantly, "Are you related to Alev Knight?"
"Guess?" Saying that Ru kicked his knee from behind making him fall on his knees. "I’m warning you to keep a leash on your fiancee. I’m not a very forgiving person."
Adrian was scared by now. And even when she left him alone, he was left with a horrifying look thinking, ’Why did his best friend have to date Alev Knight’s relative? Couldn’t he date anyone normal?’
He rubbed his wrist which had turned red from her grip and was soon gonna leave a black and blue bruise as a reminder. He got up and decided to deal with his stupid fiancee who really was courting death now. If she had a death wish, she was more than welcome but why was she courting his death?
