The Bewitching Heiress and The Devil CEO

Wei Jianglin's Pov:

As Zhao Chang delivered the file to me and hour later than I contemplated on the absurdity of the situation for only a moment before opening it.

I hesitated only for a second before the impatience took over and I opened the file to read the information on the girl.

The page contains her basic information with the name and photo.

Her name is Wu Tian, her photo on the side.

As I read through the information, I didn't find anything uncommon but I still read through the file word to word, not in the mood to miss anything on her.

As I read through her file, I found myself impressed with her credentials which recorded an astonishing amount of achievements.

She is a music major with a great talent in the field as spoken by her peers.

Her family background seemed normal and everything. Though coming from Wu family is a bit surprising. I didn't know she is the foster daughter of the Wu family. I didn't heed anymore attention on it while carrying on reading the rest of the report.

After reading it and re-reading it again and again almost obsessively to not miss on any details I closed the file and sat back contemplating on it all.

It was almost noon, time for my afternoon scheduled meeting when I finally got enough of it and snapped into my work mode putting the information I gathered in the back of my mind.

Wu Tian's Pov:

I woke up to darkness and my tired body felt like it was hurtled through loads of work when I finally managed to get up from the comfort of the bed.

The maid from earlier came a little later to deliver me the food and my stomach was rolling with starvation as if I haven't eaten since forever.

I sat and after washing up started eating up the food. I was too hungry to notice when when the door to the room opened, not giving it much thought too busy eating up the food when the voice interrupted me, startling me from my eating session.

With mouth full and sauce smudged fingers I turned to find the source of the voice. Who currently is sporting clear amusement on his face with the way he is looking at me as if he has never seen something this unique before.

And I stiffened for a second before I felt my face flushing with heat. I actually might just die from the mortification of it all.

Food still in mouth I could only sit there chewing slowly so as to not choke on it and actually dying after all the futile struggle I have faced in the past few days.

The sound of a snap and the sight of flash made me actually aware of my situation and I swear I blushed so hard I could feel heat emanating from my ears.

But with my mouth full, I couldn't utter a single word and could only sit there staring at him while he took a photo of me, all dishelved, with puffy cheeks from sleeping whole day, food filled mouth and saucy fingers. I swear I must be a sight for sore eyes.

Not able to do anything but sit there, I could only glare at him and start chewing as fast as I could, I cleaned my fingers with the tissues as best I could and then stood up and reached him, trying to do something or anything than to sit there while becoming the object of his amusement. I tried to reach for his phone with my hands since my mouth is still too stuffed to utter any word in my defence.

"I am glad I came when I did or I would have hated to miss this sight I swear." he said with a mischievous tone.

I could only lunge at him in defence trying to take the phone form his hand but he put his hand high in the air before I could grasp his phone and I could only flail like fish out of the water because this tall mamoth of the man held the phone high up in the air where I could not reach him and could only smack him on his chest, my limbs flailing around me like an octopus.

"You know you look like a burrito all stuffed up full." he said his tone carrying a hint of silent laugh.

Since my hands were doing some job of trying to stop him anyway they could, he suddenly clasped my wrists together and held them behind my back tightly while I stood glaring at him, still too full to say anything.

I swear I could have killed him with my glare alone but he still stood before me— too smug with himself and I could only watch as he without giving me a chance put the phone inside his pocket.

"You want to say something to me?" he paused for effect, "Are you trying to say how you would like to pay me back since I saved your life and all." He asked his tone overhearing and not serious at all.

My glare turned all fierce at his words and I wish I could actually say something because this man before me is infuriating me to the bones.

I stood all red faced my face pouting and my eyes fierce while he looked too smug that I actually want to hit him with something really hard to snap off the irritating look from his face.

"Now before you say anything, I would say my house, my room, my food. So you really can't tell me anything." he stated factly.

"It's my...." I started, finally I was able to utter a word but before I could say more, he cut me off again—this time with his fingers on my face.

My eyes widened and with his hand still clasping mine tightly behind me while his other gently swiped at the corner of my lip, all the while my eyes stayed glued to his.

"You got something there" he told me while still looking me in the eye.

I only snapped out of it when I felt the weight of his hand disappear from around mine and he took a step back, away from me.

"Eat more. I'll tell Ming Xi to bring more food." he said while his eyes flickered at the almost finished food in my plate as he walked backwards to the gate and then got out without another word.

I could only stare at the spot where he was standing and the soft click of the door made me snap back while I flushed with embarassment of it all.

God I really wish the ground would swallow me up.

I sighed before diving back into eating. This time I ate slowly, savouring every bite.

Ming Xi came with more food but I politely declined as I was already full. But couldn't say no to desert. So I ate the desert, silently fuming at the man whose name I still don't know.

After washing up I got back into bed, ready to sleep like a baby.

Must be the medicines making me feel lethargic and drowsy.

The earlier incident already stashed in the back of my mind. I felt too embarassed to think about it.
