This is too short to be true. Aye. Thanks for the reviews! Here's a present JUST for YOU!
Ru Ying Sui Xing – Chapter 15 – Father's Wrath
One of the men grabbed me, the other Zhuge Liang and Dai Xian. They lugged us back to the mansion, the main room. Father was sitting down, wine in his left hand, a fist in his right, his eyes filled with rage.
"Yue Ying!" he screamed. "I order you to come here!"
The man restraining me released me. He walked over to Liang and punched his back. Liang cried out in deep pain.
"Liang!" I cried out.
He struggled to mumble, "Don't worry about me."
"YUE YING!" screamed father. I gulped and walked over to him. He grabbed my scythe from the top of a desk and forced it to touch my neck. I gulped and raised my head.
"Refer to me as only Lord Huang now! You have absolutely no right to be my daughter! Disobeying me when I'm, trying to protect you! Pah!"
I gulped and tried to remain calm.
"Now! What possessed you to go with the young "nobleman" of a Zhuge into the Peach Gardens?"
I thought, should I really tell father?
"Forget it "Lord Huang"! I am not your daughter! You have no right to ask!"
He pushed the scythe into my neck just a little, causing little droplets of blood drip down my neck. I restrained myself from crying. Yet it did not work.
"It has not been official yet, so you are still, sadly my daughter! So answer me!"
I realized that I was within kicking range of father, and if I attacked the correct way, he would indeed fall. In a large variety of movements, I kicked father with my left leg as fast and as strong as I could. He dropped my scythe and fell a few feet away from me. I wiped away some blood dripping down with my collar and then grabbed my scythe, holding it to father's neck while he was trying to get up. He gulped down and spoke.
"Yue Y-Ying," he stammered. "Y-You wouldn't kill your own f-father now would you?"
I lowered my scythe and threw it on the ground. "No," I said out of my raspy voice. Clearing it, I finished, "I'm not that kind of person." In a sudden movement I turned around scaring two of the guards.
"Let go of Zhuge Liang and Dai Xian." The guards exchanged glances. "Since I am not yet disowned, I still have this power." I explained.
The guards released Liang and Dai.
"Thank you, Ying!" said Liang as he took out a clean cloth and wiped my neck.
Dai Xian finished his train of thought, "My Lady!" Xian pushed Liang away and she hugged me faster than a thunderbolt and then said, "I think I should leave you with your 'Liang' now."
She winked at me and then walked away. I turned red until Liang was right in front of me again. He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Ying," he began.
I chuckled and draped my arms on his shoulders. "Liang."
He chuckled and slowly tightened his grip. I could hear the sound of father's clothes ruffling.
"Yue Ying ... !" he began.
Honestly I forgot he was even there. Liang and I let go. I snapped coldly at father, "What?"
He responded, "I didn't know." He glanced at Liang and me. "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Liang answered for me, "Ying was afraid." I nodded.
"Afraid of what?"
"I was afraid that if you realized about Liang's backround you would disapprove."
"What do you mean?"
I wasn't thinking at the time so I answered, "Liang's a farmer." What a genius! Blurting out the thing that could stop our abnormal relationship.
