Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Back in Ai’s bedroom, Jun collapsed on the bed with his arm over his forehead. “Your mother…is something else really…”

“I told you. She likes you. There was no need to worry,” Ai chuckled.

He narrowed his eyes at her and pulled her beside him. “So, your mother was teasing me. Since I cannot punish her, let me settle that score with you.”

“That’s unfair,” Ai protested.

“You are not innocent either,” his gaze darkened, “What’s with you ganging up on me with your mother and calling me cute?”

“But that’s the truth.”

The need of revenge lit in his heart, and he chomped upon her lips. He pushed his lips and tongue deeper, pressing his body against hers and earning a stifled moan from her. They felt the sound of their thudding heartbeats, and their shared breath provided them with warmth. He felt her breasts bounce on his chest, and his kisses grew only fiercer.

To his utter shock, Ai took charge of their kiss and took courage to bite him on his tongue. She wanted to return the overwhelming fluttering of heartbeats that his words caused her and make a mess of his heart and lips too.

Dizzy and breathless as Ai parted, she hung her arms around his neck and whispered, “If this is my punishment for calling you cute, then I will always call you cute.”

“You…” He was still wrapping his head around Ai’s boldness she displayed just now. He felt a light stinging sensation on his tongue from her bite, but he relished that feeling. His body shuddered with a craving to tear her dress apart._.

“I like your kisses,” Ai confessed straightforwardly.

She placed his hand on her chest. “Look, my heart is beating so fast because of your sweet words.”

Then she placed his palm on his chest. “Now, your heart is also beating fast because of my kiss,” she gave a proud smirk, “We are equal now.”

Jun stumbled on his knee but somehow balanced himself. “You better not seduce me! I don’t want to eat you at your mother’s house.”

“I don’t mind.”

“…”

“We still have some time before we meet my Dad.”

“…”

He took deep, long breaths to control the fever from rampaging any further. “You seriously want to kill me…” he muttered under his breath.

He laid beside her and asked, “Speaking of your Dad, what does he do? What kind of a person is he?”

It will be a pain if he is like how Dad is possessive of Nuo, Jun grimaced.

Ai thought about it. “The last that I know of, he was working in some sales and marketing of a perfume brand.”

Jun blinked. “What do you mean by ‘the last that I know of?'”

“Oh. That’s because he keeps changing his jobs.”

“Huh?”

Ai nodded. “He always says that life is short, and there are so many things to do and explore in this world.”

“I see. That’s admirable-“

“But that is just him trying to look cool. He cannot stick to one job for long, so he fools us with philosophical reasons,” she ruthlessly threw shade at her own father.

“…”

“He also gambles but strangely enough, he never got in debt. He hangs in bars and casinos all the time and figures out what he is interested in doing next. That’s how he lands in another job most of the time.”

His mouth twitched. “But what about the money when he is not doing any job?”

Ai replied, unfazed. “He lives off the money he would have earned from gambling.”

“…”

“He is charismatic, which he does use to lightly flirt with women at times. But he is not a womanizer or a player. He knows his boundaries. He drinks occasionally. But he doesn’t smoke. But he wants to look cool like the men smoking cigarettes so instead, he holds a small twig between his lips like a cigarette to look the cool part.”

The level of speechlessness that Jun reached was off the charts.

What’s with this man?

Somehow, Jun could form the picture in his mind as to why her parents would have gotten divorced.

Ai’s mother was calm, elegant, liked discipline and worked in a reputed university with a respectable job.

Her father on the other hand seemed rash, doing things at his own pace and certainly not having a stable job.

“Did he remarry?”

Ai shook her head. “He did not. I thought it was because of me, and I told him that I don’t mind if he remarried. Same with Mom. But neither of them were really interested, so I dropped it.”

Were they not interested or do they still have some feelings for each other? Jun couldn’t help but wonder.

“I see. Your father…” Jun brought his lips together, “seems to be an interesting person,” he found it hard to find the correct words.

Ai chuckled. “I know what you are thinking. He is a little eccentric.”

Jun stared at her.

You don’t have any right to say that for him when you are eccentric yourself, my dear girlfriend.

“So when are we going to meet him?”

“I have texted Dad. He wants us to meet him at the park. It’s where I usually played as a child with them. Then he will take us to his home from there.”

Jun cleared his throat. “Is he hard to please? Dads are the biggest hurdle to get approval.”

“He is good. He is not unreasonable at all,” Ai said.

Yeah, we will get to see about that part soon.

—

Jun and Ai reached the park where her father asked them to wait for him. The place chirped with kids singing and laughing as they played on the rides. Some of them curiously glanced at them and giggled.

Jun saw an ice cream parlor near the park and smiled. “Wait here for me. I will bring some ice cream for you.”

As he held two ice cream cups in his hand and walked back to the park, he noticed a flashy guy with shoulder length hair tied in a small pony behind and a lock of his hair dangling in front of his cheek. He wore pants and a shirt with some weird design.

But what ticked off Jun was that man flirtatiously smiling at Ai and leaning too close to be comfortable. He crushed the ice cream cups in his palms and clenched his jaw hard.

“Get. Off. My. Girlfriend!”
