Chereads / Flower and the beast / Chapter 4 - Chapter four

Chapter 4 - Chapter four

Li Meiying was completely exhausted when she finally returned her apartment. Without even changing she crashed on the sofa of the living room and slowly drifted to beautiful dream. Her dream was disrupted by continuous ringing of the phone. Subconsciously she fished out her phone from her jeans pocket and answered with eyes still closed————-

"Hello babe!" Wang Deming from the other line

"Mmmmmm"

" are you asleep? I was waiting for your call. You said you have something to say to me''

After hearing that Li Meiying abruptly got up.

She Cleared her throat and answered-/—

"Oh right! Are you busy right now? Can we talk?"

" I am at your door"

" what?"

After contemplating for few seconds

" hold on"

Wang Diming was immensely handsome, he was very mainly. It was the reason why Li Meiying accepted him in the first place when he asked her out.

He came inside and went directly to the kitchen and fetched water for himself. He Who stood near the refrigerator with the glass in his hand asked

" what is it that you want to talk about ?"

She composed herself and sat on the couch elegantly with saliva stain on her mouth. She was rehearsing inside her mind how to break up with him in a sensible way. Wang Deming walked towards the sofa and settled across her with stern face. His heart was at the edge of the cliff, and it was upto her whether to save him or push him to the endless abyss .

Li Meiying blinked twice before speaking

" Deming, you are such an outstanding guy and I am merely an average person. I truly believe that you should be with someone who will be capable enough to walk shoulder to shoulder with you."

She paused and tried to read his face. He had no change on his face. He was very attentive to her then she continued———-

" And I really want you to know that the times I spent with you was worthwhile. It made me understand how good and excellent you are."

She didn't know what more to say. She wondered if she should bluntly ask for break up and let him leave immediately.

" Deming? Say something." Said Li Meiying when she noticed he was exceptionally quiet.

Finally he broke his silence and said straightforwardly ——-

" so , you want break up?"

Li Meiying felt great sense of guilt. She never wanted to hurt anyone especially Wang Deming because he was always good to her. She often questioned herself if she was really dumb not to fully accept him.

She nodded in response and shook his head in great sorrow.

Wang Deming inhaled deeply and straightened his body. He fixed his gaze on her but nothing came out of his mouth. They stayed that way for whole 38 minutes until-

" Babe I don't know what I have say to change your mind. I don't want to know another woman .You are my one and only. I am crazy for you and I love you so much babe. Please don't break my heart. I don't know what to do without you". Wang Deming expressed with sorrow .

Li Meiying looked at him and thought to herself " Wang Deming you know exactly what to say to convince people. Why are so damn good at everything "?

He always had his ways to control her without letting her know. But This time it wasn't going to happen.

Wang Deming crossed his finger in his heart and waited for her answer. When she cleared her throat, he knew it was the time.

" Wang Deming, I am serious." Said Li Meiying

She clicked her tongue in tense and continued

" I really tried to be with you but I don't know what's missing between us? I really don't want to hurt you anymore. We are two polar opposite people, we are simply not meant to be".

Wang Deming's brows frowned deeply but he once again tried to convice her

" Babe , plea.."

But

" Deming please don't make it more akward. I hope everything's clear now. I will take you to the door" bluntly said Li Meiying.

Wang Deming was about to lose control again so he abruptly got up and walked outside.

When he passed by her she was brushed by the swift breeze.

It was her first break up and her first relationship just ended like that. Well at least that's what she thought. She felt terrible so she punched her sister's number.

" Hi crazy , I heard Mr. wang accompanied you to the ceremony" teased Li Lijuan.

" Yeah" answered Meiying in a low tone.

Lijuan noticed her sister's mood swing and asked with concern

" what is is Mei?"

There's nothing she can hide anything from her sister and the twins.

" well , I broke up with him. He was devastated. I feel terrible now. I am never getting into any relationship ever again." Said Meiying

The person on the other line was quiet. It concerned Meiying so she asked her if she was there.

" Li Meiying are you crazy? How can you treat him that way. He is a gentleman and loves you dearly. How can you let him slip away? Good guys don't just easily pass by." Li lijuan stated as a matter of fact.

" it's easy for you say that. You have such great chemistry with you boyfriend so you have no idea what I have gone through. So don't give me that bullshit." Meiying refuted back.

After blurted everything out Meiying knew that she signaled her sister for war. And she knew she will end up real bad because Lijuan always had sharp tongue.

But————

" Meiying everything is not like how we see it on the surface. Everybody has their own sides of stories. Yes I am in a great relationship but I also worked hard for it. I gave him my best and he gave his. I know you always say that you have tried your best and everything but I know you. You say those things to make you feel better. But deep down you know how much you really tried."

Li Meiying felt as if she was exposed and Li Lijuan continued

" I know you think you are not good enough but you are absolutely wrong. Everybody has different status but that doesn't mean it has to come in between . And also what do you lack? You have a gorgeous sister, great parents and good goofy friends. Never let yourself feel lower than others".

Li Meiying was touched by her sister's philosophy and sighed if she made a mistake. While she was pondering

" but if you are really not happy with him then I am with you. Who cares if he is my big boss, right?! I just said all those things just in case but you know it's all upto you. You go girl!" Li lijuan striked back with encouragement for the sake of her sister's decision.
