Taking a couple of moments to enjoy the moment he leaned back into his seat and rested his eyes. There was a lingering smile on his face as he replayed the scene in his head. 'Cute,' was the only word running through his mind when he thought of her actions. Yes, they have kissed before but this was the first time she initiated it herself. Adding on that she had kissed him on the cheek before running away in embarrassment. He couldn't see her facial expression clearly but managed to catch the redness of her ears as she turned. It was a precious moment but he also couldn't wait for the moment she kissed him on the lips first. 

A smirk took over his face as he imagined the scenario, his fingers twitched as he thought of the ways he could tease her. Hearing a beep from his phone he looked over to see an automated message prompting a software update. Dismissing it he glanced at the time and cleared his mind instantly. Shifting the gear to drive he reversed out of the parking lot and made his way back to the main road. As normal precaution he took several turns and random routes before he started making way to his actual destination. As it got later into the night the traffic slowly decreased making the trip quicker than he expected. 

Tapping his fingers against the steering wheel he had a cool expression as he drove into a familiar neighbourhood. Gone was the previous soft side of him as he reverted back to his natural cold exterior. The houses blurred before he pulled up in front of a black gate. It took only a couple of seconds before the gates opened for him and he was able to drive in towards the house. He had come over here so often that the guards recognized to always let him in no matter what car he drove. The guards were beyond run of the mill employees, they were former bodyguards and military that took on securing the outside of the house. Which is a level of skill only the rich could hire for such a minor job. Parking near the front he exited the vehicle and entered the house using the spare key. 

As he entered the house he could hear sounds of the television softly echoing through the halls. Taking off his shoes he followed the noise until he entered a larger living room. Sitting on the couch before him was a figure tucked into the side with a remote in his hand. The figure kept his face straight as he spoke "so you're here." 

"Did you think I wouldn't come." Sighing, Xi Long sat down on the other side of the couch as he stared at Zhuang Wei. It was obvious why he had come here and by the looks of Wei he knew as well. They hadn't changed out of their suit as if waiting for Xi Long to arrive. 

"No, I was expecting this. Alright so you going to hit me first or can we grab a drink?" With that Zhuang Wei finally turned to look at him. A wry smile was on his face as he got up to grab glasses. Pulling a dark whiskey from the cabinet he brought a small table to the middle and placed everything on it. Unscrewing the cap he poured a small amount into two short glasses before handing one to Xi Long.

"So what do you want to know?" He gazed at Xi Long as he asked the question. It was clear what they came to discuss but there was no fear in his heart. Zhuang Wei swirled the whiskey in his glass before taking a sip and leaning back into his seat. He never thought there would be a day his best friend would come seek "justice" for a girl. A girl he had just met on top of that. Not that he had anything against her...but he still couldn't trust her completely. 

"Why'd you do it?" 

"You know why." 

"Do I? Why don't you tell me and see if our answers match." 

".....now you're just f.u.c.k.i.n.g with me." 

"And? What're you gonna do about it?" Feeling a sharp pain on his calf he looked in shock at Xi Long. 'Did..did he just kick me? What is he a preschooler????' 

"Bro...did you just kick me?" 

"You're lucky that's all I did." There was still warmth in Xi Long's voice as he spoke but Zhuang Wei could sense the underlying irritation. 

"I..." 

".....- what you did was stupid." Hearing Xi Long's words he took another sip of his drink before putting it down. He took a deep breath before responding. 

"I know what I did was stupid but can you blame me? I...." 

"Yeah I'm blaming you. Right now." 

"Okay now if you'd stop cutting me off and let me continue..." He eyed Xi Long to see if they had an intention to interrupt again but only saw a patient stare in return. 

"So...I am to blame it was stupid I agree but how am I supposed to just accept a random woman in your life?? You have never shown much interest in other women but are practically obssessed with her. You haven't even mentioned her to me and then bring her into the office as your girlfriend? I understand she's different from others even I can tell that she's intelligent and beautiful but what is her background? Just by the way she handled the secretaries in the morning was proof that acting is natural to her. Don't you find her a bit suspicious? She could be acting aloof to get closer to you. I played that prank to test her nature in front of a gun and see what she would do in a dangerous situation. Even if she isn't a spy you can't have a weak woman around you. Yes it was dumb but it was the quickest way to test her at the moment."

"So you felt the need to pretend to be an intruder or assassin and risk getting shot for the sake of a "test."?
