The Devil’s love
Chapter 179 - Regret

Yang Corporation

Lunch time. ​​

"What happened honey?" Yichan inquired. After finishing his meeting, he bought lunch for his beautiful wife and rushed to her office so that he could spend some more time with her but Ning seemed a bit lost.

"Hmm, it's nothing."

Helplessly shaking his head, he pulled her into his lap and sighed, "When you know you cannot hide anything from me, why do you even care to try?"

Running her fingers through his collar, she said, "So I met Mr Weilong today."

"Okay so how was it?"

"It was good and we are always working on the contract." Pausing for a while, she added, "I just—I mean when I met Mr Weilong today, I felt like I had seen him somewhere. I don't know where, when and how but I have seen him somewhere."

"Maybe you saw him in a business magazine or any social event." Yichan suggested.

Pouting her lips, she added, "I don't know Yi but I feel very weird."

Cupping her face, he asked, "Do you want me to replace out anything?"

Ning shook her head and said, "No, it's not that important."

"Let me know if you need any kind of help okay?" When she smiled and nodded her head, he added, "Now why don't you finish your lunch and then let's go out for some grocery shopping."

"Don't you have to go to the office after lunch?"

"Don't worry about that, Guiren will handle everything and I am done with all the important meetings of the day." Giving her a peck on her lips, he added, "Why don't we go home early and have a romantic candle light dinner?"

Hooking her arms around his neck, Ning smiled, "I would love that."

….

Jiang mansion

Humming a song, Weilong entered the mansion with a huge grin on his face.

"What are you showing your teeth for?" Grandpa Jiang snapped.

Clearing his throat, Weilong answered, "Nothing, I am just in a very good mood today."

Scrunching his face, grandpa Jiang muttered, "Of course you are."

"Where is Ziyi?"

"She has gone out to meet her friend."

"Okay, I'll just go and take some rest then."

Weilong was walking towards his room when Grandpa Jiang snapped, "Tired after meeting your daughter?" When he frowned at him, he added, "What? Did you really think that I wouldn't replace out about this?"

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Weilong tried to defend himself, "It was just a business deal and nothing personal."

"What makes you think that I'll buy that?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Weilong signed, "I just wanted to see her once."

Patting the empty spot beside him, grandpa Jiang said, "Come and sit here with me."

"I know I have always stopped you from seeing her because it's too risky but I couldn't stop myself. It has been much harder than I had thought it would be." Weilong had been strong for so many years because he knew that if he slipped in, Ziyi would break down too. Though he knew Ning had been treated wrongly and deserved to be loved by them but he did not have any other choice than to let her go.

Patting his shoulder, grandpa Jiang nodded his head. "I can understand how you are feeling right now." Pausing for a while, he added, "I know I don't say this often but I will forever be grateful to you Weilong. I know it was very selfish of me to ask you to leave everything behind and—"

Cutting him off, Weilong said, "I did what I felt was right. It's not anyone's decision but mine."

"But you ended up losing your family, your rights and—"

"Everything is worth it, though I feel guilty towards Ning but I also don't regret my decision which I had taken back then and if given a choice, I'll repeat it all over again." Without waiting for grandpa Jiang's reply, Weilong added, "My mother used to say that there is a time in everyone's life where one has to take a very tough decision and many end up regretting the decision they took but that is wrong. We must never regret it."

"Your mother and her heart warming talks, I sometimes wonder why she chose your grandpa and not—"

"You?" Weilong chuckled.

"No, I did admire her when we were in school but she was always out of my league and also because your father had already marked his territory. Anyone who would try to talk to her would face grief consequences."

Helplessly shaking his head, he smiled, "Dad is just unbelievable."

"Does he know that you are starting a project with Ning?" Grandpa Jiang asked.

Weilong shook his head and sighed, "Since I haven't received any slangy phone call, I guess not."

…..

Mo base.

Jason's room.

Stretching his body and yawning from time to time, Jason was frowning at the over excited Linhou.

"She had the most beautiful hair, eyes, lips and—"

Cutting him off, Jason snapped, "She had a very beautiful body and her skin was very soft. You have already told this several times Linhou. How on earth am I supposed to replace out who she is with such a kind of description?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Linhou sighed, "She was awesome and not just beautiful. She was so skilled and the way she fought was remarkable."

Jason widened his eyes in shock. "Wait a second, are you praising someone else's fighting skills? Oh my God, am I dead and is this heaven?"

"One should appreciate if someone is good at something right?" When Jason nodded his head, Linhou grabbed his hand and requested, "Please Jason, will you help me replace her? I really need to know who she is and where she is from. I wanna see her again."

"Dude, you sound so desperate. Fine, I'll do what I can."

Cupping his face, Linhou grinned and kissed him on his cheek. "Thank you so much man, I love you."

Pushing him away, Jason frowned and wiped his cheek. "Yucks man, keep your lips away from me, I am straight."

"So am I and that was a manly kiss."
