Lee Jun Ting froze on the spot, trying to register Zhou Qin Yang's words. When he finally did, millions of thoughts play in his mind ' Where did I go wrong? '

Zhou Qin Yang observes Lee Jun Ting's reaction and realise her words might be taken in the wrong way, she quickly reach out her hands and grab his " Ah Ting ! Don't misunderstand me. I'm really happy that you propose to me. I too, want a future with you. "

Lee Jun Ting's eyes shows confusion, he don't understand why " Then.. why do you want to-"

" I have come to realise.. I don't know a lot of things about you and you don't know about me either. Even though I promised to tell you everything and made you wait but it seems like the gap between us isn't closing well. "

She stare into his hazel eyes with sincerity " Let's start over again as boyfriend and girlfriend. Let's fill in the 7 years gap. "

" We could do that when we get married " Lee Jun Ting turns his hand to hold hers. Zhou Qin Yang shakes her head " No, I won't feel settle that way. "

A suffocating silence come after. During the time when Lee Jun Ting wasn't by her side, she always envy couples in the public. How much trust they put in their relations.h.i.+p. Zhou Qin Yang no doubt that she trusts Lee Jun Ting but is herself that she doesn't trust. She doesn't believe that someone like her could stand by his side. She needed to get rid of that feeling, betting on this relations.h.i.+p.

Seeing Zhou Qin Yang's eyebrows moves during her deep thoughts, knowing she must have a reason behind her words. Once again, Lee Jun Ting couldn't help but give in. He pulls her in for a hug, carefully wrap his arms around her fragile frame " Alright. I trust you on this under one condition, you must never leave me without a word again. "

Zhou Qin Yang return his embrace and nods " I promise. I am sorry that I made you wait again. "

Lee Jun Ting pull back a little but his arms still around her, he gave her a gentle smile " Didn't I said before that I will wait as long as it takes just for you "

Zhou Qin Yang's heart felt at ease, within a second she change her expression into a serious one " I still want to do some work when I am here. "

Lee Jun Ting sighs heavily, he pulls back entirely this time and take a seat beside her " Why are you so stubborn? Why can't you be stubborn about recovering? "

Zhou Qin Yang laughs at his question " You know I cannot stay in one spot when I have responsibilities to take."

Hearing her laugh, Lee Jun Ting ma.s.sage in between his eyebrows ' She really don't know how worried I am for her.'

Lee Jun Ting shows no sign of letting her work, Zhou Qin Yang quickly thought of an idea. Zhou Qin Yang wrap her arms around his neck and pull him closer , looking at him with huge eyes and a cute pout " Ah Ting.. please.."

This was the first time Zhou Qin Yang acting cutesy which caught Lee Jun Ting off guard, another side he discovered of her. Though it is cute but Lee Jun Ting has better self control " You can only work after one week. No bargaining or else you won't even touch your work for two weeks."

Zhou Qin Yang knows she is in no position to argue anymore then nods " Alright but I need a new phone, mine got thrown away before. I still need to contact a few people. "

Lee Jun Ting find no problem about it and nods " I will tell Wu Feng Yuan to buy you one. In the meantime, it's time for you to fill me in why are you involve with the Underworld. "

" Eh... can't we do it tomorrow? I want to rest. " Zhou Qin Yang whines. Lee Jun Ting held in his laugh at the sight at this woman, does she think she is the only one that can go around making him give in to her?

Lee Jun Ting slide his hands around her waist, and gave a seductive smile " If you act like what you did before towards me again for the rest of our life, I would agree." He wanted to see her act all cutesy again.

Zhou Qin Yang looks away in embarra.s.sment, she clicks her tongue " Never! You can only see that once in your lifetime. "

" Oh~ What makes you so sure that you will not do it again? " he leans in till she could feel his breath against her ears, teasing her with his low voice. Qin Yang s.h.i.+vers against his breath, she gave in and hits his chest " Fine, fine! I will tell you everything now. Stop teasing me ! ", pus.h.i.+ng him away.

Lee Jun Ting sits back down on the chair and chuckles at her fl.u.s.tered self, Zhou Qin Yang glares at him " I hate you. "

" I love you too. " he replies back instantly, making her cheeks redder than before. Zhou Qin Yang then stuck her tongue out like a kid, she then take a sip from the gla.s.s of water on the table next to her bed " What do you know already? I will fill in the rest. "

Just like Zhou Qin Yang predicted, Genesis told a few things to Lee Jun Ting already. Zhou Qin Yang nods " I did follow Kim Yeol to his base because I was desperate to change myself that time. The trauma that my father has caused me to be in a bad state. " It was so bad to the point she would dream of what happened that day every night.

Zhou Qin Yang's depression, anxiety and panic attacks got the best of her, she was so weak that she let her guard down and made a stupid mistake to follow Kim Yeol, not thinking what she has got herself into. " Before I know it, I was involve with the Underworld. I was forced to help Genesis in mission and go through harsh training."

" He promised me that he would help me get rid of fear against men. He tied me to a chair and touch my body against my will " Zhou Qin Yang clench her fist and close her eyes, trying not to remember that disgusting feeling.

Lee Jun Ting felt angry for her, the room temperature drop drastically. Zhou Qin Yang continues " After that, I manage to escape there with a help from a friend. "

" Luciel ? "

Zhou Qin Yang was surprised " You know him? "

" He called me yesterday. He was the one that help hack the security. " Lee Jun Ting knows, the fact he was able to hack such a complicated system means he isn't an easy person to deal with.

Zhou Qin Yang nods " Yes it was him. He was the reason why I am still alive today. I will introduce him to you one day."

" After I escaped then I created Saints Funding Organisation, I wanted to help those who are helpless like I was before." Lee Jun Ting watches as Zhou Qin Yang smile while telling about Saints, the room temperature begin to warm up.

He realises this woman in front of him has gone through so much when he wasn't by her side. Lee Jun Ting then stood up and bends down, he cups her face which caught Zhou Qin Yang by surprise. His lips touches hers, Zhou Qin Yang closes her eyes and let him guide her.

Zhou Qin Yang then realise probably G.o.d let her go through so much pain before is to meet Lee Jun Ting again.
