The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel“s Disguise Chapter 99 Sugar

Standing before a huge candy store, Ru's eyes glimmered like a kid in a candy shop. Oh, wait! She was a kid in a candy shop.

It wasn't her fault. Her childhood was filled with memories of training, learning, and again training. But there was no memory of someone taking her to a candy store. Even though everyone was aware of her love for candies.

Walking in the land of candylicious, Ru was in awe.

"So..." Ren drawled his words in a dramatic way. "Which candy do you want?"

"Sugar, sugar, sugar... d.a.m.n! It's sugar heaven!" Ru obviously wasn't paying any attention towards the brothers behind her. All her attention was on those delicious looking candies.

"Bro, doesn't he look like a girl in a branded shop with a black credit card in hand?" The question came from Ji Syaoran who was asking this from Xiao Zhi Ren.

Xiao Zhi Ren could see that himself. "Hey! If Oniisan would have been a girl..." Yuan whistled as he added, "Heck! He would have been a wicked one!"

Ji Syaoran nodded agreeing with Yuan completely while Ren was lost in Ru's antics of hopping from one place to another. "He certainly will make a gorgeous woman!" Ren turned to look at Syaoran who seemed like he was appreciating whatever he was seeing.

Ren slapped his head and said, "Don't tell me you are imagining Rong in women clothing?"

Syaoran smiled sheepishly and said, "Couldn't help it, bro!"

"Can I help you, Sir?" A pretty shop attendant came to Ru's side as she had been watching her from the moment Ru entered.

"Yes, you can," Ru answered with a childish grin. It looked so innocent that the shop attendant blushed furiously. "Do you sell liquor chocolates?" The shop attendant blinked a few times. "It doesn't have to be like London Gin Truffles but something along the line..."

The shop attendant took a moment before replying, "Wait here for a minute, Sir." and she went back to call the manager.

"You want Liquor chocolates?" Looking at Ren's inquiring gaze, Ru nodded. "Why?"

"What do you mean by why? Man, it's liquor and chocolate... Combined in one. What more can one ask for?" She emphasized each word to show how serious she was. "I can even kiss the person who invented such a heavenly delight."

"Even if it's a man?" Syaoran couldn't really help himself.

"Duh! Of course!" Sensing that she said something shocking, she tacitly changed her answer, "I mean we live in the 21st century. And I'm a very easygoing person." Syaoran was intelligent enough to understand the suggestiveness of her words. It simply suggested that she wasn't against gay relations.h.i.+ps. But who would tell him that as a girl she was supposed to kiss a man!

Unconsciously, the three brothers took a step backward which didn't go unnoticed by Ru at all even though she was busy picking out flavors of candies before her. She gave a brittle laugh and said, "Don't think too highly of yourself. All of you are handsome but look at this young master..." she pointed at herself and went on, "I need someone wickedly handsome as I am. None of you are up to my standard."

For the very first time, none of the three brothers didn't mind being not up to her standard. It was kind of a relief that they were put off the hook easily.

The candy store was indeed for kids but the manager did have some stuff which the adults would like and it made it easier for Ru to pick out some tequila-filled chocolates. She was very satisfied as she shopped around and gathered a huge box filled with sugary goods.

"We can deliver it to your home," the manager offered politely and obviously, Ru wouldn't refuse.

"Give me a pen and paper then." Getting the pen and paper, she scribbled the address with ease. Her writing had clear strokes but showed how confident the person was.

She was about to pa.s.s the notepad back when her cellphone rang. "Zhi, give it to the manager. I have to go." She shoved the notepad in his arms and sprinted out the store.

Ren was about to pa.s.s the notepad when her handwriting caught his attention. 'This can't be possible!' He said to himself. He was more than familiar with that writing style. He had seen it before. h.e.l.l! He even spent hours looking at a letter written in the exact same writing. He couldn't be mistaken.

But what if he was?

At this thought, he pa.s.sed the notepad to the manager and turned to his brothers, "I'll catch up with you guys later." And with those words, he was out the door. Looking around for a sign of Ru.
