n”Leng Shao.” He coldly spat the name he hasn’t uttered for five years.

nLeng Shao smirked and swirled his glass of wine, “I know you hate me for whatever stupid reason. But for the sake of being old friends I have to stop you from doing something you would regret later.”

nA confused frown marred on Wang Lu’s forehead. “What are you talking about?” He seethed.

n”I know you think she is Feng Mei, but she isn’t. Her name is Yan Mei and that man is her husband.”

nA boiling fury swelled inside Wang Lu and his muscle grew tense when he heard, “her husband.”

n’How can she get married?’

nLeng Shao heaved a sigh, “I know it’s hard to accept but that woman isn’t someone who you can afford to mess with. Look at her, Feng Mei was shy and innocent but look at this woman. She is the complete opposite. She is dangerous, aloof and the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company.”

nWang Lu clenched his fists so hard, his nails cut into his skin.

n”Why should I believe you?”

nLeng Shao chortled humorlessly when he heard him.

n”Yeah, why should you believe your best friend who slept with your wife, and is telling you someone who looks like your ex-wife isn’t her?”

nLeng Shao gulped down his drink and walked closer to Wang Lu.

n”One day, I’m going to prove to you that I never slept with your wife and everything was fabricated. Then you would live with the regret of losing your best friend and wife due to your stupid ego.”

nLeng Shao murmured with a sinister smile on his face, then he left Wang Lu there fuming.

nIrritation surged up inside Wang Lu, taking a deep breath he raked his fingers through his hair. As if debating on what to do next.Wang Lu’s gunmetal eyes looked at the woman glowing in another man’s hand, and a look of great bitterness swept across his face.

nHe decided to investigate the woman before rushing to confront her. He knew deep down she was his Meimei. Even though she had changed her name and her temperament he knew those eyes of hers which has been haunting him for years can never be changed.

nLeng Shao looked at the back of Wang Lu leaving the ballroom and an unknown glint passed through his eyes.Heaving a sigh, he turned to look at the woman who was oblivious to everything happening around her. After the meeting with Yan Mei, he had investigated this mysterious woman who looked like Feng Mei but he didn’t find anything that would satisfy him.But he wouldn’t give up, he knew deep down it was Feng Mei.

nYears of quietly observing the woman you secretly love makes you notice all the little details about her. The least thing he could for her is to prevent Wang Lu from destroying her happy moment.

nLengShao knew Wang Lu would never make a scene once he gets to know that, the woman isn’t his Meimei that’s why he stopped him from approaching her by building doubts in his heart. He could see she was happy with that guy.

nLooking at the soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips, Leng Shao half smiled. His smile congealed into sadness when he remembered the last time he spoke to his best friend.

n*FLASHBACK*

nWang Lu sat on the floor of his bedroom with his back against his bed, draping his elbows loosely over his knees he stared hard at the wall. Bottles of whiskey laid down around him.He chugged down on the last bottle of whiskey while reminiscing the happy moments with her.

nHe remembered the first time he met her. He smiled seeing the memory of her. He looked at the spot and could actually see her with her brows hunched together scolding him for drinking. She was adorable.Wang Lu squeezed his eyes shut tight as if that would remove the memory out of his mind.

nHe opened his eyes and she was gone. Wang Lu let out a loud growl of annoyance when he tried to take a sip of his whiskey and realized the bottle was empty.

n”Where the F**K is my whiskey!” The housekeeper who was standing at the door trembled, his master’s voice was so loud, so thunderous that he couldn’t help but be afraid. He hurriedly went to fetch another bottle for him.Wang Lu who was agitated from the lack of his whiskey threw the bottle at the wall and it struck the wall shattering forcefully.

nSuddenly his bedroom door slammed opened. Wang Lu’s face contorted with anger from the disturbance.

n”Leave!” he roared at the person who came in without looking at the person.

nLeng Shao’s pulse raced and he breathed heavily, his muscles grew tense and he cracked his knuckles yelling directly at Wang Lu.

n”How could you kick your wife out on the streets when you know she has no one in this world!”

nWang Lu lazily tilted his head an a fit of maniacal laughter jolted through him.

n”Well-well it’s my best friend…..” Wang Lu trailed off.

nA frown marred on Leng Shao’s face as he stared at Wang Lu. He could barely recognize the man sitting on the floor with his disheveled hair and glossy eyes.

n”Are you here to defend the slut you have been sleeping with?” Wang Lu continued with a bored, monotonous voice.Leng Shao could almost feel his blood boiling in his veins when heard Wang Lu.

n”What?” Leng Shao queried with his hands shaking.

n”Why you think I would never found out that you have been screwing that whor-“

nWang Lu couldn’t complete his sentence as Leng Shao grabbed him by his collar, pulled him from the floor and swung a fist in his face.Wang Lu stumbled back and erupted a crazed, intermittent laugh.

n”You think I don’t know that you love my wife! I have seen the way you look at her. Finally, you have her. You have won Mr. Leng. Congratulations.”

nLeng Shao grabbed Wang Lu’s collar and knee up to hit him in the stomach.”How can you insult your wife like this! Yes, I love her but I would never sleep with her. You’ve no idea how much she loves you!”Leng Shao yelled, shoving back Wang Lu who stumbled on his feet.

n”Love?” Wang Lu snorted.”Did she realize she loves me after taking shelter at your house, why you can’t provide for her?”

n”She is not at my place!”

n”Oh, is that so?” Wang Lu mockingly retorted.

nLeng Shao run a frustrated hand through his hair. He knew once Wang Lu makes up his mind no one can change it. He has completely lost it!

n”You’re going to regret this Wang Lu, by the time you realize what you’ve lost, it would be too late to rectify the damage.”

nWang Lu hissed, “says the guy who fell in love with his best friend’s wife.”

nLeng Shao took a step back, his face contorted into a deep scowl of frustration. His only mistake was to fall in love with his best friend’s wife. He thought he had hidden his feelings well clearly, he hadn’t.

nIf he knew his love would cost her happiness he would have stayed away. He thought as long as she was happy, he didn’t mind loving her from far but fate had to messed things up!Leng Shao balled his fingers to a fist and drove them through the wall, then he slammed the door behind him.

nHe had to find Feng Mei, before anything bad happens to her.’ It’s been three days since she left where would he even start from?’ He thought as he rubbed the nape of his neck.

nHe really hopes he is not late because he will never forgive himself if something happens to her. He had to find her and find her soon.

nFeng Mei…..where are you?
