Li sheng carried Zhang jingfei to her room kicked the room door to open as he leisurely entered the room placed her slowly on the bed covered her with quilt.

before he Turned to leave Li sheng slowly tilted his head as his long fingers tuck her hair behind her ears Li sheng couldn't help but bend down as he kissed on her forehead as her strode outside the room without turning back.

When Zhang jingfei revived her conscious it's already twelve in noon.

Scanning her place with her eyes lazily she figured out its her room as she slowly sat on her bed starring at the ceiling in puzzlement.

"How she ended up in room when she fainted on sofa?"

"Who carried me here?"

is it sheng? this thought made Zhang jingfei terrified.

Even she remembered man who came told about the news about Tang shoushan searching for a girl Zhang jingfei was bewildered as her body started shivering.

"What he is planning to do?"

"How I am going to endure all this?"

Zhang jingfei is sure he is searching for her all over the country even in overseas this thought frightened her as she sat there horror struck motionlessly.

She is worried about Zhang Ru safety but she quickly self-assured herself that he will be fine with her friend beside him.

It's is best once she finds the safety place and job she will bring them back till the time they should hold back each other together.

After pondering with herself Jingfei decides she needs the safe and secure place and a job for herself for money to live through.

Li sheng face came through her mind

Jingfei eyes are moist" no no I can't trouble him moreover don't know what happened to him he doesn't able to recognize me this thought made her felt like her heart was stabbed with knife.

Zhang jingfei came back to her sense as she swallowed all her distressful thoughts in her mind.

Slowly she stood up from the bed when Sis fong entered the room and saw the scene she is alarmed.

Sis fong recalled what her young master said to her " Take care of her I will be back in two weeks to three weeks don't allow her to roam freely else she will forgot eventually that she is injured make sure she takes medication properly".

Her young master never ever asked or cared for anyone previously so Sis fong assumed that this Miss is "special" to young master.

"Miss let me help you what you need?"Sis fong asked fondly.

Jingfei felt awkward" I need to wash up "

"The water is warm you can clean with towel let me help you"sis fong said kindly.

"okay".

After washing up jingfei saw the clothes on the bed everything that matched her size but she could care less after put on the clothes she came downstairs slowly.

Zhang jingfei eyes swayed left to right searching a"specific one" but can't able to see the sight of him.

"Miss young master went to business trip to states he will be back in two to three weeks" Sis fong said slowly as she smiled.

"Oh for two to three weeks? wondered what Li sheng is doing for earning.

Zhang jingfei guessed that she don't have any idea about Sheng and his family at all.

After contemplate with herself Zhang jingfei mused if she could ask about Sheng from Sis fong but she dropped this idea.

Suddenly something popped up in Zhang jingfei mind as she slowly walked towards the wall stand where the photos are kept.

Standing before the wall stand Jingfei saw different photos of sheng in the frame.

Zhang jingfei squinted her eyes when she saw the photo where a man who was in his early twenties inn military uniform his face is devoid of expression he looks devastatingly beautiful his eyes are cold.

It's none other than Li Sheng who was in military uniform Zhang jingfei felt her palms are wet as her body shuttered she slowly counted stars in his uniform her eyes widened in shock standing dumbstruck she even forgot to breath "Senior colonel" she muttered under her breath.

Her eyes plastered to the man on the photo frame who was standing straight and sky-high.

She couldn't help but kept starring at the photo jingfei felt more respect and fear towards the man now.

"But suddenly Zhang jingfei felt weird now looks like he is not in military he looks like business man in suit".

Zhang jingfei don't know what to do now as she felt sheng is reading her like a open book.

Zhang jingfei dragged her legs upstairs to her room to rest slowly.

Over the past few weeks Zhang jingfei body condition was far better even her injuries got healed eventually by doctor feng medicines she is cured with some bruises are left behind.

Zhang jingfei let her guard down with Sis fong even she fond over sis fong for some reason in her life jingfei always lacked mothers Love thus she made friendship with Sis fong.

What Zhang jingfei startled more was when she saw her closet was filled with her favorite color white colored clothes all are her size without any doubt Only sheng knows her favorite color and favorite dress.

This thought made goosebumps as she felt her hairs on her body stand straight.

Will it be he remembered her now?

AFTER THREE WEEKS.

The sky is turning dark moon shinned brightly even the wind swayed the trees silently like the calm before the storm.

A black luxurious car entered the villa it glittered like a beast that tore the darkness.

Long slender fingers opened the door of the car a tall figure gradually stepped outside the car and stand steadily like a mountain his eagle like dark eyes starred right at the "specific room" as he averted his eyes and walked unhurriedly inside the villa.

Li sheng returned to his Villa evening over seven he strode steadily towards the living room.

Li sheng stopped in his track when he saw the girl who running behind Sis fong continously as she pestering her for something she wore white cotton light weighted gown it touched her knees her skin glowed like a Jade her thin slender legs are beautiful her hair are put in bun leaving her fair white neck for the view clearly.

When Li sheng saw her bare neck and her collarbones he couldn't even able avert his eyes as he gulped hard.

Li sheng suddenly remembered he always kissed her neck and crook of her collarbones more than her cheeks in the past.

He loved kissing her neck her curves in the neck are soft even though she is thin that made him want to kiss her more in the past.

He doesn't kiss her lips not more than two times because he doesn't want to startle her he wondered about his self esteem over for this girl he doubted himself how he controlled his temptation over all these years.

Due to his strong self esteem Li sheng averted his eyes from her as he strode inside and walked towards the kitchen he slowly stood by the door silently.

Zhang jingfei pestering Sis fong for eating ramen doesn't know the man was standing at the door.

"what's happening?" when Zhang jingfei heard the magnetic and deep voice her body jolt back her heart skipped a beat she slowly turned back to see the man.

Li sheng was standing by the door leaning against it putting his hands on his pant pockets he wore a black tailored suit with white shirt beneath to it with a black tie.

Zhang jingfei struck by the view that she forgot to avert her eyes starred blankly at the man before her.

She snapped back to her sense when she heard Sis fong soft voice.

"Young master Miss is asking me to prepare a ramen for her to eat as she said she doesn't want to eat vegetable medicine soup"Sis fong chuckled lightly as she said this.

"Li sheng furrowed his brows tightly as he glanced at the girl before him.

When jingfei tilted her head her eyes met with his intense starring eyes she felt her palms are becoming wet.

"It's not good to eat unhealthy food now once you got fully recovered you can eat whatever you want " Li sheng said firmly.

Zhang jingfei felt it's like a order more than a advice as she bowed her head as she said "Okay" slowly.

When he saw her bare foot Li sheng knitted his brows as he frowned "don't roam around the home with bare foot" his magnetic voice rang in Zhang jingfei ears as she quietly nodded her head.

Li sheng saw the girl pity expression on her face couldn't help as his lips curled up.

He turned and walked upstairs to change.

Sis fong couldn't help but her mouth was agape.

"She recalled how she was telling Young Miss to wore her home slippers and she shouldn't eat ramen but she didn't even hear her continuously pestering her when young master said the same thing she didn't even open her mouth as she nodded quietly.

Sis fong chuckled lightly as she said "Young master is always like this cold outside but he is too good"

"It's okay" as she said Zhang jingfei let out a sigh.

She know him he is like that when he decide something he won't take no for an answer he always cared for her in her past he changed from aloof boy to aloof man now.

When Zhang jingfei sat on her dinning chair as she eyed her food vegetable medicine soup with warm milk her mouth twitched lightly Once she heard the soild footsteps she quickly grabbed her food and started eating it.

Li sheng saw the girl eating her food hurriedly he shook his head as he sat on his chair started eating his food.

"I know the one who Tang shoushan is searching is you" Li sheng said plainly as he starred at jingfei doesn't want to miss any expression on her face.

Jingfei choked in her food as she coughed heavily she quickly grabbed the glass of water and gulped down fully Li sheng waited patiently for her to set down.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Li sheng know jingfei well she won't accept his help if he asked her directly so he wanted to trick her to ask for his help instead that too by herself for his help.

Zhang jingfei doesn't how to reply him

"Frankly I don't have any idea what to do I don't have any place to move even I don't have anyone to help me all I want now was to hide in a safety place and find a decent job" Jingfei said slowly her eyes emitting unsaid sarrow and furry as she smiled faintly.

Li sheng looked at her pity face.

"Then stay with me "Li sheng said nonchalantly making Zhang jingfei stunned her mouth was left open as she starred at the man opposite her when both their eyes met their unsaid words are conveyed through their eyes.

When Sis fong saw this scene dumbstruck she couldn't help as she left wondered is it beauty and the beast who are too much in love with each other.
