Chapter 83 The King of Kings
Dai Zhongheng is unable to find the right words to reply. He stands there blankly and his big hand tickles his head, “It is a coincidence. It is just a coincidence. I don’t have any other ideas.”
Li Baoer gives him a glimpse and stands up. But Dai Zhongheng stops her.
“Where are you going?”
Li Baoer throws his hand away, “This is your room. If I stay here alone with you, there will be some gossips.”
Dai Zhongheng smiles gently. He stands up and leans to speak by her ear, “There are many women who want to stay with me alone. Now you are given the chance. Aren’t you happy?”
Li Baoer bursts into anger. She turns around and gives him a slap!
Dai Zhongheng has known that Li Baoer has got a hot temper, but he doesn’t expect that she will suddenly attack him. Instinctively, he defends himself with his hand and hears a miserable cry.
“Ah!”
Li Baoer holds her hand and squats on the ground, while tears pour out.
Dai Zhongheng is shocked. He reaches to grasp Li Baoer’s “injured” hand. When he has just touched her hand, Li Baoer gives him a bite.
Dai Zhongheng draws back his hand, “Are you a dog to bite!”
“You are a dog to hit me…” Li Baoer grimaces in pain.
“You hit me first.” Dai Zhongheng stops in the middle. Li Baoer looks pale. His heart aches, “Let’s go to the hospital.”
’
As a matter of fact, he is clear how serious she is hurt. He just casually stopped her and did not fight back. She may hurt her muscle at most. She will be OK after applying some medicine in the hospital.
“Don’t bother with it. Colonel Dai.” Li Baoer grits her teeth and shouts, “I hate garrulous man!”
“Am I garrulous?” Dai Zhongheng feels humiliated. Army men hate to be described with this word. Dai Zhongheng is furious, “Well, Li Baoer, you do have the gut.”
“More than you…Ah!”
Li Baoer has not finished saying when she is suddenly held up. Dai Zhongheng is so powerful that she can’t get away from him.
However, Colonel Dai is left with some scratches on his neck.
“Put me down!” Li Baoer struggles with all her strength and finally decides to give up. She is aware that people in the streets are looking at them as if they are monsters. She is shy and her face and neck are red.
Dai Zhongheng doesn’t respond. He holds her and goes out of the hotel directly to the parking. He throws her into the car, “Don’t move. Stay honestly!”
Li Baoer is shocked. She can’t speak a word. He walks to the driver seat and starts the car. The car leaves the hotel and goes away.
“Where are you taking me to?”
“To the hospital!”
“Thank you. I can go myself!”
“Shut up. Do you want me to do it for you?”
Aware that Dai Zhongheng is really angry, Li Baoer is shocked. She purses her lips.
Five minutes later, they arrive at the B City People’s Hospital. The doctor checks and tells that it is a soft tissue contusion.
Li Baoer comes out of the hospital with two wounds, on the head and the hand respectively.
It looks as if she has just experienced fighting.
Li Baoer sits in the car gloomily. Now, she really can’t go home.
“Ah…” Helplessly, Li Baoer gives a long sigh.
“Are you going home?”
Li Baoer rolls her eyes at him, “What do you think?”
“Then I can take a room for you.”
“…No need. I can look after myself. Well, pull over here.”
Dai Zhongheng looks around. They are in a street. What is the woman thinking?
“Colonel Dai. Stop the car. I am getting off here.” Li Baoer repeats.
“No. If you don’t go home, you are going to have a room at the hotel where I stay.” Dai Zhongheng says decisively.
“You！” Li Baoer gets angry, “What do you mean? I have nothing to do with you.”
Dai Zhongheng doesn’t respond. He drives straight back to the hotel.
Dai Zhongheng takes a room for Li Baoer and stares at her going upstairs.
“I am not your prisoner. How can you be so atrocious to me!” Li Baoer murmurs and glances at the tall man who follows her all the way.
Li Baoer gets to her room. She opens the door and walks in. Surprisingly, she finds that Dai Zhongheng comes in, too, “What do you come in for?”
Dai Zhongheng investigates the room and walks to the door, “Nothing, just to have a check. You may have a rest.”
Dai Zhongheng leaves. Li Baoer at once locks the door. She leans on the door and gives a sigh of relief.
Wow, he is atrocious. That is really not what he looks like. He looks bright and handsome.
Li Baoer looks at the watch. It is past five. Her head aches, wondering if she should go home for supper…
Her parents haven’t called her. Seemingly they don’t want to disturb Li Guohua and her.
Shit. Why does her mother believe that Li Guohua is a good man? He has got a woman.
It seems that everyone is cheated.
When Li Baoer is thinking about what to do, her phone rings. It is a strange number.
Li Baoer hesitates and presses the key, “Hello, this is…”
“I have ordered supper for you. It will be sent to you soon. Stay at the room honestly at night.”
It is Dai Zhongheng at the other end of the phone. Li Baoer is shocked with surprise.
She hasn’t made any reaction, when the phone is hung up.
Li Baoer looks at the phone blankly. She remembers that she doesn’t have Dai Zhongheng’s private number.
This is his private telephone number.
Li Baoer is glad and she marks down the number.
Five minutes later, the supper is served. Li Baoer is surprised to find that it is a rich western-style dinner.
She can’t believe that Dai Zhongheng has a sense of romance.
The phone rings again. It is him again. Li Baoer answers the phone and speaks first, “Supper is here already. Colonel Dai, thank you.”
“Hum.” Dai Zhongheng responds and hangs up.
Li Baoer blinks her eyes. What a short reply!
There are T-bone steak, red wine, mushroom soup, salad and some other snacks. They look nice and smell good. Li Baoer can’t help swallowing her saliva.
The man is really trying.
Li Baoer takes a sip of the red wine and puts down the glass. When she is going to start her supper, she suddenly feels sad!
He has got a girlfriend!
Yes, he said personally that he had got someone he liked.
Li Baoer is shocked and in an instant, she loses all her appetite. She looks at the food and unconsciously tears blur her eyes.
He has got someone he likes. How can he be so good to her?
“Dai Zhongheng. You are wretch!” Li Baoer shouts and drops the knife and fork.
No, she is not going to eat the food from him. She can’t accept his care.
Thinking of this, Li Baoer takes her bag and slams the door after her.
It is nine in the evening. The streets are crowded with people coming and going. Dai Zhongheng stands in front of the French window. He frowns.
He has called Li Baoer a dozen times from six to nine, but none gets through.
“This silly woman.” Dai Zhongheng is furious and scolds in a low voice.
How dare she not answer his calls? Does she really hate him so much?
Thinking of this, Dai Zhongheng takes out his phone to call Li Baoer again. The phone rings for quite a while, but still, it doesn’t get through.
“Damn it!” Dai Zhongheng frowns more seriously. He turns to walk out of the room and goes straight to Li Baoer’s.
He knocks at the door heavily and says, “It is me. Open the door.”
He waits for quite a while but still there is no response. Dai Zhongheng is confused. He takes out her phone and dials the number, but no sounds can be heard from inside.
Damn. She is not in!
Damn it! She disobeys his opinion!
“Well, Li Baoer, you have got the gut!”
There are lights, and wines and all kinds of colors. Li Baoer half closes her eyes and leans the upper part of her body on the bar counter.
She doesn’t drink, but not knowing why, she just wants to drink. She comes straight to the bar counter and asks the bartender to give her a glass of distilled cocktail.
She is drunk after only one glass of cocktail. Now, she is dizzy. Whatever she sees has three or four shadows. Her ears are in a buzz.
Well, this is what being drunk like!
Li Baoer struggles to behave herself. She taps her mouth and looks at the men and women who are twisting their bodies fiercely in the center of the stage. Listening to the deafening music, she can’t help dancing slowly.
Hum…it feels exciting. She is so excited that she wants to have a good dance.
But she can’t dance, except for tapping with the music. She is so dizzy that she can hardly walk.
It is bad. How can she go home?
“Hello, Miss, are you new here?”
Suddenly, she hears a voice. She turns to look and sees three men standing by her.
They wear fashionable clothes, but they look rogue. It can tell from the expressions on their faces that they have tried some girls.
Li Baoer is dizzy, but she is conscious. She waves her hand, “Leave me alone. I am dizzy.”
Hearing what Li Baoer said, the three men wink at each other. One of them who dyed his hair golden says, “Dizzy? It is all right. Your Bro has medicine here. Why don’t you have a rest in my embrace.”
Bro? Li Baoer is disgusted, “Get out of my way. Bro? I am your Sis. Do you know?”
“Oh?” The man with golden hair laughs, “We three have been in business for quite a long time, but we really don’t know you, Miss.”
“You are Miss (means “whore” here)! All your family are whores!” Li Baoer scolds back.
“Hey? Why are you scolding?” The golden-hair man catches what Li Baoer said, “What did you say?”
“What did I say? I say all your family are whores!” Li Baoer doesn’t withdraw.
“You bitch!” The golden-hair man winks at the other two men, “Let me teach you a lesson, or, I am not called Wang Zhongwang (King of kings)!”
“Damn you King of kings! Why aren’t you called Crap of the craps?” Li Baoer scolds back. However, she suddenly feels that her hands are held tightly. She turns and sees the other two men grasping her hands on the left and the right respectively.
“What do you want to do? Let go!” Li Baoer realizes it is bad and she struggles to yell, “Help! Help!”
The golden-hair man lifts his eyebrows, “Err, you are an unruly woman. Let me tell you. Your Bro I like unruly women most! Guys, do it!”
Hearing golden-hair man’s order, the two men apply more force in their hands to press Li Baoer onto the bar counter.
