Chapter 800 Meeting Mr. Liu and Ms. Kai
**************
CHAPTER 800
Coming out of the haunted house, Andromeda and Liu Xueyi were filled with laughter as they recounted the spooky and scary things they had witnessed.
By the time they emerged from the darkness, Andromeda felt a sense of accomplishment coursing through her veins.
As they stepped out into the open air, Andromeda turned to Liu Xueyi with a triumphant smile. âSee? We conquered it all. Together.â
Liu Xueyiâs eyes sparkled with affection as he pulled her close, enveloping her in a warm embrace. âThatâs my amazing, fearless witch. Iâm so lucky to have you.â
Andromeda melted into his arms, her heart swelling with love and contentment.
Liu Xueyi couldnât help but laugh at the memory of his girlfriendâs quick reflexes which he hoped had not incurred any potential trouble.
He couldnât help but imagine the consequences if Andromeda had ignored his advice and engaged in a fight with Yin Lifen earlier.
âCome on, letâs get some snacks before we head back to the hotel,â Liu Xueyi suggested, guiding Andromeda away from the haunted houseâs entrance.
But just as they turned away, a familiar voice echoed behind them, breaking their stride. It was the ever-troublesome Yin Lifen.
âWhoa, whoa, whoa. And who do we have here? Funny how we could meet once more, donât you think?â Yin Lifen called out, ensuring that they heard her.
Andromeda and Liu Xueyi turned around to face their persistent acquaintance. Yin Lifenâs eyes held a strange mixture of mischief and glee, a fact that didnât go unnoticed by Liu Xueyi.
He instinctively pulled Andromeda closer to him, making it clear that she had his support and protection.
âOh, please. Iâm not here to fight,â Yin Lifen brushed off their concerns.
âHard to believe when itâs coming from you,â Liu Xueyi retorted, a hint of scepticism in his voice. âWhat do you want with my girlfriend and me?â
âNothing,â Aiden replied, as he emerged beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
âHmm. Okay, we can leave then. Nice meeting you two once more.â
âPleasure would be mine but you never gave me the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss.â
Liu Xueyi and Andromeda froze in surprise as they recognized the unfamiliar face.
They exchanged a quick glance, silently acknowledging that they had anticipated this personâs presence, even though they were suspicious of it.
âItâs okay,â Liu Xueyi reassured Andromeda, gently placing his fingers on her side and rubbing her skin through her clothes to provide comfort.
Andromeda nodded, her gaze fixed on the newcomer who had just joined Yin Lifen and her boyfriend.
âGot it.â
âI thought I might have the honour of meeting the one who was seen as much more beautiful than me.â
âChildish,â Andromeda stated flatly and shook her head as they faced them. âIf you came just for that, I mean.â
âWell, we can all agree that sometimes, it is good to emit a little bit of child-like character. Also, isnât this a Halloween party?â
âYes. It is.â
âExactly and we would be donning costumes later on. Isnât that childlike in the first place?â she mused, letting her casual tone fill her words.
âIt is fun and mature as well,â Andromeda refuted.
âIt is still mostly for kids.â
âNo. You get it wrong. It is for anyone. Thatâs what fun is like,â Andromeda corrected. âAnyways,â she began, making sure to cut her opponent off before she got the chance to say more.
âSharp, fast, stating your claims and sticking by them, not backing down and bold. Thatâs daring,â she speculated to Andromedaâs surprise.
Her eyes brimmed with intrigue as she stared at Andromeda, waiting for her next move.
Ever since Andromeda had looked back, she ignored the sight of the woman standing close to Yin Lifen and attacked her with words too.
It was only after she spoke that Andromeda took her time to do the needful.
Letting her eyes rake over her, Andromeda took in the peerless beauty whose sweet chocolate gaze softened and a smile touched the corners of her mouth.
Her lovely brown hair trickled down the length of her smooth arm, over her shoulder and her red handless thigh-high gown.
She wore an enigmatic smile, and her captivating appearance took Andromedaâs breath away.
âMy name is Li Jing,â she introduced herself, revealing a toothy smile. âItâs a pleasure to meet you, Andromeda Kai.â
Andromeda studied Li Jing from head to toe, her suspicion and discontent evident in her voice. âWhat can I say? The pleasure isnât mine. Youâre suspicious. I hate it when people test me.â
Liu Xueyi interjected, trying to diffuse the tension and pacify his angered girlfriend. âIâm sure she didnât mean anything bad by it.â
Just then, another figure emerged from the dark corner of the house, stepping into the light.
He wore a pleased smile as he closed the gap between them, standing beside Li Jing. He leaned over and placed a peck on her cheek, silently revealing his identity.
Andromedaâs gaze met Ye Chengâs, her eyes clouded with uncertainty. Similarly, Ye Chengâs eyes glazed over as they settled on Andromeda and where Xueyiâs hand was on her waist.
âYouâre right. Perhaps her words may have sounded domineering, intimidating, andâŠâ
âIâm not intimidated. It would take more than that to make me feel that way,â Andromeda interjected, cutting him off.
His smile spilled into his eyes and he nodded.
âDuly noted,â Liu Xueyi cut in before Andromeda could respond and then both ladies got into something ugly over a misunderstanding.
âThank you. Pleasure meeting you, Mr. Liu and Ms. Kai. I hope we can start on a much better foot after this. My apologies.â
Andromeda remained silent, processing Ye Chengâs words. She realized that her initial reaction might have been fueled by her past experiences with her stepmother and stepsister, causing her to be on guard.
She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, determined to let go of her initial prejudice and give Li Jing and Ye Cheng a fair chance.
It was important for her to curb her defensive instincts and approach the situation with an open mind.
âThank you,â Andromeda finally responded, her voice softer. âItâs a pleasure to meet you all. I hope we can forget it all. My apologies,â she concluded, lowering her head in a sign of respect.
