Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile 47 Chapter 47- Sacrifice her

Hen Qing went to a nearby 7-11 store and bought a whole cart of snacks. After eating the 10th bag of chip and drinking 3 cans of soda, she looked at her reflection from the window. 'Ya Nuo never did anything wrong, but if I don't help dad get her then everybody else that I care for will be in danger. Besides, he already said that she will get married with a rich family. Then she will eat well, live well, and be happy. If anything, she can always get a divorce. So that should be the best solution...yes.. that must be the best solution.'

She cleaned up the empty chip bags and soda cans before leaving the store.

From a distance, she heard familiar voices laughing happily. Her first instinct was to hide from the approaching figures before they see her. She hid behind a bunch of garbage bags and waited for Ya Nuo and Huan Hei to pass by. When they laughed and walked hand in hand passing where she was hiding, her fists unconsciously punched and crushed her snacks. 'Ya Nuo, compared to me you already have a lot. You have the one person whom I ever liked. His smile and heart is exclusive to you. I don't have a happy family and my future is all I have. I must sacrifice you for my future happiness. You tricked me into thinking that you were a guy all along. Now it's only fair for me to return this favor.'

Hen Qing got out of the garbage pile and gave The Boogeyman a call, "No need to wait a week. I'll cooperate with you. Tell me what I need to do."

"Good girl. Daddy knew you were a smart one. I'll tell you when and what to do. For now keep your distance from them to make them think that you are feeling guilt for not helping in the café."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Hen Qing slowly followed behind them as she thought of the day she courageously confessed to Huan Hei at school.

/Hen Qing's flashback

After school in one of the art rooms, Hen Qing met with Huan Hei to confess her feelings to him. She had a crush on him for two years and finally had the courage to ask him out.

Huan Hei: "You're the one who slipped the note in my desk?"

Hen Qing: "Yes. I won't take up too much of your time."

Huan Hei: "Sure, what's up?"

Hen Qing played with her nails nervously, "I.. I am in love with you. I've liked you for two years and didn't see you dating anyone. So I was wondering if I could be your girlfriend.."

Huan Hei straightforwardly rejected her, "Sorry, I already have someone I love deeply. I can't accept your feelings, but thank you for liking me. You'll find someone better in the future."

Hen Qing's tears rolled down her face, "But I never saw you dating anyone. Are you just saying this because you don't like me?"

Huan Hei: "Loving someone doesn't mean I have to be in a relationship. Besides, I like seeing the person I love smile and laugh. To me, that is more than enough. I won't tell you who it is that I like, but I do hope you will respect my privacy and decisions."

He read a message from his phone and smiled, "Sorry, if there is nothing else then I will leave now. My friend is waiting for me." The sweetness from his smile felt like a thousand pricking needles stabbing her wounded heart. She wondered who the person was to make him smile like that from just one message so she followed him.

'That's Yang Ya Nuo... I see, so he likes men. Losing to a beauty like him.. I gave it my all. Even though it still hurts, I'll support the two of you secretly.'

/Flashback ends

Hen Qing: "Ya Nuo... who would've thought that you were a girl all along? You fooled me and here I thought it was worth it losing to you because you're a guy. If you are also a girl then what's so great about you that he would choose you over me? If only that girl didn't interrupt dad's plans and you were taken away that day. Then maybe I will have a chance with him. He'll notice me more. When I told him what happened at the café, he held my shoulders tightly. That was the first time he took the initiative to touch me. If only his attention wasn't focused on you... then how great would that be? But it's alright now, soon, you two will break up. Then, I'll have my family, friends, and Huan Hei...it will only be a matter of time before I get my dream school too. Hahaha..Nobody will know as long as I keep pretending to be innocent.."

She stopped walking and watched Ya Nuo and Huan Hei's back view as they walked further away. "I'll take what is mine soon. Smile all you want now. You'll be marrying some rich sugar daddy later on. "

/In front of Taekwondo House

Ya Nuo: "I'm here."

Huan Hei: "mmmm... just 5 more minutes" he kissed her on the head while hugging her.

Ya Nuo: "That's what you said 15 minutes ago. The later we part, the more dangerous it is at night. Do you want me to worry?"

Huan Hei: "But after waiting so long, you finally realized my feelings. How can I part from you so easily?"

Ya Nuo: "Don't tell me you want to stay overnight?"

Huan Hei: "Oh? That's a great idea~"

Ya Nuo: "Nope." she placed her hands on her hips and rejected that idea.

Huan Hei: "Why? We slept together before already."

Ya Nuo: "That's different. I was testing you."

Huan Hei: "Then you can test me again" he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

Ya Nuo: "What else is there to test?"

Huan Hei: "My self control."

Ya Nuo: "Haaaaah??"

Huan Hei: "Come on, you know to find a good husband, the man must have good self control and respect his wife right? So test to see if I'm husband material."

Ya Nuo: "You always find a way to make me speechless...."

Huan Hei: "Hehe, let's go. Let's go~ If you really don't want to sleep together, I can always stay at the guest room next to yours anyways. Relax. Relax~ If you think too much, you'll get wrinkles."

Ya Nuo: "mhmm.... let's go then. It's already almost midnight."

Huan Hei: "My queen is the best~~"

Ya Nuo: "It's also because I don't want you to leave. So let's stay up a little later than our usual sleep time. I have something I want to talk to you about."
