Chapter 191 - Still wanted to be with him

If it is in the drama, both of them would freeze in a frame for 3 seconds as the melodramatic music started to play as their back sound.

Wang Kai lifelessly looks at the necklace, his gaze gets darker and colder. Xiao Ni subconsciously follows Wang Kai's gaze, towards the shiny objects on her neck.

She felt guilty like she has an affair behind him when they actually have broken up. Wang Kai retracted his gaze and forced a smile as he helps Xiao Ni to stand up on her own.

"Nice necklace," he commented before he walked away. Xiao Ni follows his back, dumbfounded. Not angry? Not jealous? Not gonna throwing a fit on her?

Alas, she should have removed the necklace the moment she parted away with Xavier. She tried to open the hook with her own hand but failed miserably. Afraid that it would take too long she hide the necklace inside her sweater.

Wang Kai has seat on the dining chair when Xiao Ni enters the dining room. "Do you want to request any other food?" Wang Kai asks like it was nothing happen. It's made Xiao Ni even more cautious of him.

No way he didn't know that Xavier is the giver of this necklace. He deliberately leaves Han Li with his spy, and Han Li obviously stands on Wang Kai's side.

Seeing that Xiao Ni was in a daze, Wang Kai snaps his finger to gain Xiao Ni's attention. At the sound from his finger, Xiao Ni was bought back. "Ah? what?"

"Do you want to eat any special food? we have a chef here." Wang Kai asks with his flat tone. Xiao Ni has customized to his flatness, but today she felt like something was off.

Maybe because she felt guilty about Xavier? or maybe because he didn't usually as calm as he is today. She almost felt like he treats her like a stranger he needs to take care of.

"No, It's enough." Xiao Ni said, still observing Wang Kai's expression. Wang Kai nods his head and began to his plate.

The dining room filled with silence after that. Xiao Ni felt like the air pressure between them were too heavy to her handles, she decided to break the ice by complaining to her. "Why are we eating Chinese in Italy? so boring."

Wang Kai is spooning his dumplings when he heard her complain. He elegantly chews before he gives her a reply. "You can request any food to your liking."

Xiao Ni long eyelashes flutter as she felt a ten thousand miles distance between them. She felt like it was high school all over again. She put down her chopstick and decided to confront him.

"What is wrong with you? why are you ignoring me?" flustered, she looks at Wang Kai sharply. Wang Kai continues his meal and didn't get affected by Xiao Ni.

"I didn't ignore you, I answer to everything you say." He was being reasonable as he didn't ignore her verbally. Xiao Ni tongue becomes mum after hearing his answer.

A few moments of silence before she spooks up with a high tone again. "It's about Xavier, isn't it? you are ignoring me because you are jealous of him!"

Wang Kai's eyebrows furrowed, almost touched each other. "I didn't ignore you." he proclaims again without looking at her. He still looks composed, as he indifferently handles Xiao Ni's acquisition.

"You are not ignoring me but why do I feel like you are so distant? What is wrong with you?" Xiao Ni frowns deepen, her soul soar away, flying so high before it falls into a deep sea of emotions.

"You can't act like this, we've broken up, you don't have any right to be jealous of him. Moreover, he was clearly just a friend!" She shouted and regretted at the same moment.

Wang Kai slowly raises his head and looks at her with the eyes she never saw before. His eyes were as sharps as dagger cutting through her hearts. He showed no expression but the eyes spoke for him.

Furious.

He didn't shout back at her, just look at her with an indifferent look. "I know, I know I didn't have any right to be jealous. But I am."

His words are clear, carrying a heavy burden inside his heart. He stood up, his 190 cm height is intimidating for 160 cm Xiao Ni. "You look at him as a friend, what about him? Can you ensure that he looks at only as a friend?"

Xiao Ni opens her mouth, but close it again when she realized that she can't answer him. Wang Kai frosty gaze stares directly at Xiao Ni. "But what can I do? We broke up, right?"

Xiao Ni's eyes turn red and when she blinks she realized that she has shed a drop of tear. Wang Kai looked away, hiding his insecurities and sadness.

"I thought we can still be a friend after we broke up, after all, we've been in each other life for a long time. I thought I could handle the sight with you with another man. I overestimated myself. Forget the two years, from today onwards, I let you go completely." He declared, ignoring the throbbing pain whenever he thought of distancing himself from Xiao Ni.

He holds his breath, turning his body away without looking at her. Within a second's Xiao Ni has lost his presence in the dining room. The dish has turned cold, as cold as Wang Kai's heart.

Slowly Xiao Ni's body slumped, she hugs her legs and cried in between. What does he mean by that?

Does he really give up on them?

He set her free. Who gives him the right to set her free? wait, no, who gives him the right to control her life from the first place?

Xiao Ni stunned when she realized something. She is the one who gives him the right to do so, she subconsciously hanging on a hope that they would eventually get back together.

Even when her mouth refused. Even when she stubbornly wanted to believe that she can escape from his influence. She... still want to be with him.

She wants him to fight for her, thus acting hard to get, thus keep rejecting him. But now he has given up.
