We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 256 Longed For Power

As a beholder, Christy Zhong couldn't help but think that how could they possibly have no love? She had heard Jing Lu and other family members say that their marriage was on the basis of romantic love. After Zhangdong Feng hung up, he suddenly became all sweetness and light. "Go ahead and eat. Is this enough?" asked he flatly.

He only had Christy in the heart now, and certainly didn't want to give anyone his tenderness.

Christy had already been helping herself. She was already full. "No more thank you, I've had enough. Are you full?" She looked up quickly and asked him.

Zhangdong had never meant to eat anything. He just wanted to renew acquaintance with his old friend.

"I'm all right, you need not worry," said Zhangdong thoughtfully. He seemed like a different person now.

Christy glanced at the clock and found that a long time had passed. According to his original flight, it was nearly time for her to go to the airport.

So Christy needed to ask him about his plans. But she really didn't know how to start.

She paused a moment to consider. "Brother, where are you going now?" asked she hesitantly.

According to the family's attitudes toward him, they would very likely arrange for someone to pick him up. It was not polite for Zhangdong to break his promise.

He looked at Christy and understood her intention very well, "Don't worry, I can manage."

In fact, Christy never worried about it. She just didn't understand why bother like this? Was this appointment that important? She was too young to remember her childhood. Even if she still remembered, then what? Living in the present moment was the most important thing.

"My sister-in-law is a pretty good person to get along with." Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, Christy said this lightly. Anyway, she must tell the truth. As for their relationship, however, only they knew it. Zhangdong tried to clear the confusion that was fogging his brain. It was difficult to define the border between love and friendship. Love was not something that one can explain clearly and make people understand.

"Yes, she is nice, but not fit to be a wife." Though Zhangdong's voice was low, Christy could hear it quite plainly. It was not a good situation, she felt very worried.

Suddenly, Christy didn't want to stay any longer. She had been here a long time. Above all, she won't let personal reasons affect her work.

"Brother, I think it's time we call it a day. You should go home and get some rest. Is that OK?" Christy asked earnestly, rising from the chair.

She was perfectly reasonable in her demands. He couldn't argue with that and had to say, "Alright. If there's anything that I can help you with in the future, please let me know."

When Christy heard these words, she thought to herself, "If there is any problem, James is the first choice of hers. She dares not ask someone else to help her. After all, she and James are legally married." Furthermore, James always took good care of her.

In the real world, one said he would protect you, but the strong wind and big waves was always given by him in the end.

"Yes, I will. Thank you," said Christy politely. She knew she didn't have the courage to refuse. She was a respecter of proprieties and liked to get things done properly.

Christy thought Zhangdong would not come out with her. To her surprise, he got to his feet and followed her, "I'll walk you to the door."

Christy really didn't need this, but felt embarrassed to reject his offer. She had to quicken her pace. Anyhow, she drove her car.

When they walked to the hall, they suddenly saw a figure which was really familiar. James stared at them with startled eyes, "What are you doing here? Brother, shouldn't you be on the plane right now?" Christy wondered what was up with the Fengs these days. That was not a good phenomenon.

After all, Zhangdong was his brother, James couldn't say too much in public. But for Christy, James was in a position of unchallenged authority.

"Like Zijin, I arrive ahead of schedule." Zhangdong said to James coolly and dispassionately.

Zhangdong was his eldest brother. Though James was very unhappy, he did not have the choice, "OK, see you tonight," replied he coldly.

Now that James showed him enough respect, Zhangdong was supposed to take the chance to leave. But he continued, "Goodbye, Christy."

Those words prompted an angry outburst from James. Christy was his woman, he could not endure such insolence.

James was very jealous and possessive about Christy. He must find out the truth of the matter.

"Little Christy. Why didn't you say that you are my girlfriend?" asked James, taking her hand vigorously. At the same time, he said to Zhangdong coldly, "Goodbye, my brother."

He pronounced the syllables of the words with a peculiar clearness, as if to remind him that Christy was his woman.

In this way, James could not only claim possession, but only show respect. Unless something unexpected happens, all of them could keep up appearances. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
