She started pushing him away but he wouldn't budge, instead, he kept his eyes fixed on hers while she averted his gaze.

"Stop...." he hissed with a hint of warning residing in his voice, she is not a weak person but she found herself doing as he says with her eyes still averting his gaze.

​​

"You still love me," he stated with overwhelming self-confidence, she crinkled her brows, not knowing what to say in response but before she could say anything, he tilted his head as he lowered it, taking her lips into his and kissing her roughly.

She held his sleeves at his arm to push him away while scrunching her lips but he wouldn't let her go, even though she is almost out of breath he just continues on until she gathered enough strength and pulled him away with his body still on hers.

She glared at him then sent a hard slap across his face while she inhaled deeply and exhaled strongly to catch her breath.

"You are mine, Yu Yan," he declared to her face but she scoffed and sent another slap across his face.

"You don't own me and you have never owned me so you had better snap out of your delusion," she responded with deep resentment in her voice.

He lowered his head then whispered into her ears...

"No...you can never love anyone apart from me and you know it,"

She balled her fist and gritted her teeth hearing him speak so arrogantly.

"Even if you are pretending to have something on with Han Chen, you don't love him," he added with a curled up smile on his lips and then he moved away from her ear and fixed his eyes on her face.

She closes her eyes and inhaled deeply then opened them.

"You are right about me loving you but I can assure you that all I need is time to stop loving you and as for Han Chen, you do not have the qualifications to mention his name," she retorted in a drawling voice and fierce gaze in her eyes.

His face muscles became tensed hearing her speak of Han Chen.

"Yu Yan, I love you and you know I only got engaged to Xiaomeng because of my father, once he leaves the company to me we can be back together, why don't you just understand me," his eyes were filled with longing emotions that she could clearly see, she could see in his eyes that he really still loves her but she just can't bring herself to understand sacrificing her for his ambition instead of working hard to be better than his father.

"You are already engaged so I don't care about anything that happens to you from now on, move away from me," she demanded with her eyes on his arms pinning her down on the bed.

"Then why did you come to pick me up, you were worried about me, five-month is already enough time for you to end your feelings for me but you still haven't...don't keep on lying to

yourself,"

His words of truth pierced her heart deeply, making tears stroll down her cheeks, it annoys her that he is so confident and she is so vulnerable to his words of coercion.

She is definitely not the type to want to get back with him after what he did but she finds her heart yielding to him at this moment.

He wiped her tears gently with his thumb then paused as they stared into each other's eyes, he then cupped her face as he lowered his lips to hers, he kissed her once again but at a slow and steady pace.

She balled her fist knowing that she is yielding to him when she is not supposed to.

She has always enjoyed it when they kiss but this time, she couldn't feel anything in their kiss.

It felt too empty like he was taking advantage of her but she let him continue kissing her passionately.

She wanted to know if he is really right or what she is feeling is right but she still couldn't feel it, at that moment, the only thing coming into her mind is the night of the welcome party...the kiss she had with Han Chen.

(He is wrong, he is the substitute and Han Chen is the one in my heart, the missing piece,)

She pushed him away with all her strength then took in a deep breath, he glanced at her with a confused expression on his face.

She stood him from the bed to leave but he held her back as quickly as he could.

"Why did you push me away?" He questioned in an interrogating tone and a deep frown on his face.

"I don't feel anything..." she answered with coldness in her eyes.

"What?"

She snapped her hand out of his grip.

"Whenever we kissed before, I always loved the feeling but now I don't feel anything from your kiss, all I kept thinking of is the moment I kissed him," she confessed with a defiant gaze in her eyes.

His head spun hearing her insultive confession, he could feel his anger rising as he moved closer to her.

"You really kissed him...."

"Why, are you still in the delusion that I belong to you, ever since the day you insulted me in front of so many people you lost the right to get angry at this, we kissed the night you dumped me and I can assure you..." she moved closer to him and tilted her head behind his ear.

"He made me feel something I have never felt before," she moved away from him, she gave him a mocking gaze and scoffed then she stormed out of the apartment.

He rubbed his forehead in disbelief then he rammed his fist into the wall.

She hurriedly got into her car and started driving at a faster speed than she drove when she was on her way to pick him from the bar.

She is relieved she picked the call and experienced what she experienced today else she wouldn't have known what he is really like, she has tagged him as an unfaithful jerk but now hearing him talk like she is just an object he paid a price for, she realised just how stupid she was.

But she gained another thing from this, she realised just how different Han Chen is and the difference between her feelings for them, what she feels for Chen Kai is just regret and unwillingness to admit that he gave her up but what she feels for Han Chen is just like she found something she lost for a long time, something she doesn't want to let go of and she is willing to reminisce every moment of it.

She soon arrived at the hospital without even registering it in her brain that she is driving to the hospital but her heart is controlling her instead of her head, as she got down from the car and walked towards the hospital, her heart kept beating fast.

As she got to his ward, she wanted to stop for a second and compose herself but once again her heart made her push the door open without thinking, Han Chen who was staring out of the window as he stood beside his bed was surprised when he saw her.

She started walking towards him.

"What are you..." before he could complete his question, she had already wrapped her arms around his back with her head resting on his broad and well-toned chest, he spread his arms not knowing what to do.

"D-Did something happen to you?" he managed to ask but she tightened her grip on him, as she snuggled on his chest.

"Mmm," she responded.

He wrapped his arm around her back with one of his hand stroking her hair, she closed her eyes as she could feel the soothing warmth of his body but she inhaled his scent.

{He smells nice,} she remarked in her mind with an inward smile.

He liked how she came to find solace with him but he was also worried about her, if she drove all the way to the hospital just to find comfort with him then something very bothersome must have happened to her and the thought of it makes his heart ache.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"If you want to listen then I will tell you," she raised her head from his chest to meet his doting and endearing gaze, he brushed the hair on her face behind her ear then he nodded in affirmation.

He held her hand then sat her down on the bed then he went around to the other side and lied down, he patted the bed, telling her to also lie down but to her surprise, she didn't hesitate.

She placed her arm under her pillow and curled up her legs while he drew up the duvet to cover them.

"You can talk now,"
