Chapter 27 You were Asking For It
"J Shao, what the hell do you think you''re doing?" asked Daniel. He''s voice sounded cold as snow,
and J felt she''d been wronged, her eyes turning red in an instant.
She thought that Daniel never cared about her, and he didn''t seem tofort her not even in this
situation, when she was terrified that she almost fell to the ground.
If she hadn''t knocked on the balcony''s window a few moments ago, she would not have slipped and
fallen from the second floor.
"I''m sorry to interrupt you two, " she said. J, looking more pitiful than ever, turned the other way
around and again started to lower herself on the outer edge of the balcony.
In that moment, Daniel''s heart sank. He dragged her back down, and asked her, "What are you doing
now, J?"
"Since you are not willing to see me, " she answered, "I''m leaving!" Tears couldn''t stop falling down on
her face. She was very scared of animals. Last time, when they encountered the Samoyed dog, he had

left her behind without mercy.
But J''s behavior made Daniel mad because he had no idea why she cried. ''What is she crying for?''
he thought to himself.
He gripped her wrist vigorously, dragged her until they reached the bedroom''s door, and then kicked
her out. "Get out!" he shouted.
J sniffled woefully and thought, ''Am I stupid? No, I won''t leave!''
She shook off Daniel''s hand, took off her shoes, jumped onto his bed and quickly covered her head
with the quilt.
There was a sudden silence in the bedroom.
After about five minutes, J got her head out of the quilt to see what was going on, but instead saw
a pair of bright, malicious eyes staring at her.
"Ah!" J screamed and again covered her head with the quilt.
Then she felt like she was being lifted up in the air. Daniel put J and the quilt on his shoulder and
then threw them out of the bedroom.
Kate, who was making the bed, was shocked when she heard the noise.
Seeing Je out of the quilt, Kate was surprised, and wondered how J managed to enter the
house.
The two lovers stood together, looking at the girl who was nowying on the ground with scornful eyes.
Even J, who was thick-skinned, was embarrassed at this scene.
She held her waist with her right arm and, without uttering another single word, walked down the stairs
towards the front exit.
She thought to herself, ''Mom*, I don''t live up to your expectation. I give up.'' (TN*: sworn mother)
J opened the door of the vi, took a deep breath, looked at the dark sky and then chocked back
the tears that were about to burst out of her.
She closed the door, and said to herself, ''Don''t cry, Jane! You were asking for it! What a fool...''
J then got into her car and drove towards her own vi.
Mansion No. 9 was silent again. Kate looked at the quilt on the ground, picked it up and was just about
to throw it away.
"Go back home. I''m unable to fall asleep if someone else is here, " spoke Daniel. The scene that J
left, holding her waist, kept ying in Daniel''s mind.
He turned around and went back to his bedroom. Kate''s voice came behind him, "Daniel, it''s very
Daniel took his phone out of his pocket and called Spark, "Spark,e here and drive Miss Song back
home."
Then he hung up and closed the bedroom''s door.
Kate stood outside his bedroom now, looking at the closed door and clenching her fists.
She knew that Daniel was using her. ''Does he really love the little girl?
Daniel Si, how can you do this to me? You abandon me after you use me! What do you take me for?''
thought Kate.
When J parked her car in the garage, Samuel called her, "Jane, where are you?"
"Dad, I''m in the garage. I just arrived."
"It''ste now. Your mom and I are noting back tonight. Go to bed early!"
"OK, dad."
J hung up and slowly walked out of the garage.
She looked up at the dark sky and found the moonlight to be beautiful, and so she found a bench and
just sat there for a while, looking at the night sky.
She took out her phone and tried taking a photo of the sky. Looking at the ck sky on her phone,
J gave away a wry grin. The sky was so dark. Why did she think the moonlight was so enchanting?
She opened her Weibo and found there were a lot of unread messages.
All the messages were from her former college ssmates. She chatted with them for a while.
J posted the picture she just took on her Weibo, and wrote in the post, "The night runs dark as ink."
Soon, several peoplemented on the post. Sven replied, "Our little princess is so poetic this
evening."
A good friend from her college replied: "J Shao, have you lost it? This is so not like you!"
Sally also replied, "Jane, where are you?"
Most of them had put J''s Weibo ount in their Favorite list. Therefore, when J ever posted
something on her wall, they were instantly informed.
She felt in a bad mood and decided to reply to them tomorrow, when she was feeling better. She stood
up from the bench and just when she was about to leave, after looking one more time at the ink-ck
sky, she saw a car driving toward her.
''What? Isn''t this Daniel''s car? Where is he going thiste at night?'' thought Jane.
She gave a wry smile when she thought better. Where he was going, it definitely had nothing to do with
her!
However, Spark saw her and pulled over the car: "Miss Shao, it''ste. Aren''t you going back home?"
The car window went down, and J saw Kate sitting in the back seat, staring at her with a troubled
look on her face.
Daniel was not in the car.
A sh of miraculous brightness now streaked across her mind, and she seemed to know something.
"I''m leaving now." J ran away delighted. Seeing her, Spark felt even more confused.
But he didn''t think much of it and drove the car away.
J said she was leaving, but she hadn''t told them her destination. Five minutester, she again
stood outside Mansion No. 9, gasping for air.
She rung the doorbell for a long time, but nobody answered her.
J took out her phone, but was surprised to find that she didn''t have Daniel''s number in her agenda.
She had to dial Sally''s number to ask for it, but her phone was powered off...
Then Jerry''s number, but his was also powered off...
Then Sven, and this time she finally got through. However, a girl''s voice came speaking on the other
side of the line: "J Shao? Don''t call my boyfriend again, and don''t try to contact him in any way
either!"
Then she hung up, and J was both shocked and speechless. She checked the number again and
found that it really was Sven''s number. Was she Sven''s girlfriend? Why had the girl asked her not to
contact Sven anymore?
J buried herself deep in thought by the shock brought by the phone call. When the vi''s door was
opened, J was still confused, pondering on what had just happened.
She raised her head and curiously asked Daniel, "Does Sven have a girlfriend now?"
Daniel was furious: "You rang my doorbell that many times to ask me such a question?"
J nodded her head, but when Daniel was about to close the door, she shook her head immediately.
"No, Daniel, stop! I was looking for you." She closed her phone, put it back in her bag and squeezed
herself through the door and into the vi.
She closed the door for Daniel and smiled at the angry man, "Daniel, I''ve made up my mind. Let''s get
engaged!"
She had just found that she, actually, liked him!
Daniel''s face then softened. He looked at the naive little girl, and sneered, "Do you take engagements
as being trifling matters?"
"Of course not. If we are engaged, your dad and mom and my dad and mom won''t worry about us
anymore, " she replied. What an excellent excuse, indeed!
