"Ying Jie, I want to talk…"

\'So you see, that\'s where all the trouble began,\' I said in my heart as I was caught by Meng Bao\'s puppy stare. It was like a whirlpool that drew me in, demanding me to give him all the attention I had.

\'Those eyes… those damn eyes!\'

I didn\'t want to blush in front of someone that I want to cut contact with, so I dodged his gaze and asked, "W—Why are you here, uhm… Mr. Robin Yang?"

Meng Bao\'s gaze darkened after I addressed him formally. Maybe he got too comfortable with this endearing nickname of Meng Bao. Meng Bao stared at me with his icy cold eyes, but he realized that his displeasure was showing too much. He blinked few times. He acted with his cute puppy eyes again and said:

"Jie… don\'t call me Robin Yang. That\'s so cold of you…" Meng Bao pouted and kneeled in front of me.

My body jerked back as I was surprised by his sudden kneeling, "M—Mr. Robin Yang, you can\'t kneel in front of me!"

"Why can\'t I?" Meng Bao asked. With his teary eyes, like an abandoned puppy, he stared right into my soul. He continued, "Meng Bao is not good enough for Ying Jie?"

\'FUUUCCKK! This is not good! How could you do this trick to me!? He is basically using MengMeng\'s trick!\' I covered my mouth that was about to squeal on its own because Meng Bao was really too cute to handle right now.

\'Relax, Shi Ying! Remember, he is a cold blooded murderer! Even though it\'s basically a competition, but it\'s still murder! What if he murders you if you displease him? Don\'t get tricked by his cuteness!\'

I took a deep breath and looked at him straight to his eyes, and now, Meng Bao was the one who got embarrassed after being stared at by me. He dodged my eyes and asked, "W—Why are you staring at me like that, Jie. Did I do something wrong? I was so shocked after you blocked me yesterday…"

"N—No, you\'re not doing anything wrong, but… I don\'t want to get entangled with you for so long. It\'s not good for me," I replied.

\'And I certainly don\'t want to get fired or murdered.\'

"But Jie… I want to get entangled with you for so long…" Meng Bao said. He was really like an abandoned puppy, well, handsome abandoned puppy. With his lost expression, he continued, "I really thought Ying Jie will accept me… did Meng Bao say anything wrong?"

"R—Robin Yang, please don\'t do this," I said. I looked to the corridor, turning my head left and right, and thankfully, nobody was in the corridor. It would be hella weird if they saw a handsome man kneeling in front of my door, they would think that I\'m some kind of beauty who could even make a gorgeous man like Meng Bao fell on his knee!

"Please get up. You can\'t kneel like this!" I warned him, but he insisted and even slapped his knees.

"I will kneel until Ying Jie calls me Meng Bao again!"

\'Oh, don\'t do this, Mr. Definitely A Mafia! You\'re making things more difficult for me!\'

\'And what\'s with your cutesy act?! You are not fooling me anymore! I know you\'re actually very ruthless!\'

Meng Bao really insisted on kneeling in front of me, though. He didn\'t even budge and kept on staring at me, full of hope.

I didn\'t know what to do now, so I had to do my ultimate technique!

Slamming the door no Jutsu!

"Fine then, you can kneel all you want for all I care!"

SLAM!

I slammed the door right on Meng Bao\'s face. It mainly was a pretence, hoping that he\'d give up, or at least, he would get up and wanted to talk about this properly instead of wanting me to act all lovey-dovey with him.

After knowing his true identity and the things he did behind the closed door, my evaluation of Meng Bao changed instantly.

Meng Bao acted cute to trap me definitely. If he could murder someone by cementing their feet and drowned them, then he might also do the same to me, who had offended him.

I waited for about thirty minutes, I hear no more of Meng Bao\'s pleading, so I peeked from the peephole.

But I was surprised when I see a man still kneeling in the same position. His dreamy eyes were wet with a pool of tears as he sobbed and wiped the tears that kept falling down.

…

…

WAIT, HE REALLY CRIED?!

I immediately opened the door, and Meng Bao automatically looked up to me. The tears were still falling on his cheek. His eyes glimmered with hope as if I\'m his only saviour in this dark world, like the main lead in a drama. He suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Jie… please don\'t abandon Meng Bao…"

"Aish, you are too much! You\'re a grown man! How could you cry for a woman like this! I yelled at Meng Bao, Meng Bao got scared, and the tears on his eyes pooled even more. Which made me felt even guiltier than before.

\'What is this crybaby? Is this guy really the same person who\'s a cold blooded murderer who would kill his business competitor if needed?!\'

\'I can\'t believe this!\'

Meng Bao\'s tears were like a waterfall on his cheeks. He sobbed harder, even to the verge of crying like a baby, though, strangely, he still looked gorgeous even when crying. Which was definitely unfair, since I looked like a panda in period when I cried nonstop.

He held my hand, not letting go, and asked again, "Ying Jie, please don\'t abandon Meng Bao…"

"Damn it!" I pulled him inside my apartment immediately and also took his bag. I looked at the corridor again, left and right. After making sure that no one saw such an embarrassing scene, I sighed in relief and closed the door.

Really, dealing with this man was harder than I thought.
