Chereads / The Eagle's Queen, Jinjing / Chapter 5 - Proposal

Chapter 5 - Proposal

Lui Jinjing arrived home and changed into a lovely evening gown as she waited for Shi Shaochuan ,

"Mom , I'll be going on a date with Shaochuan I might stay at his place overnight . So see you at dawn " she explained to her mother.

" Take care dear" her mother replied .

Shi Shaochuan picked her up at the right time and he drove her to the best restaurant in Beijing .

" Shaochuan, this place looks lovely , I didn't expect Beijing to look so beautiful " she complimented.

"Many things have changed since you left Lui Jinjing" he said hiding a meaning to his words.

"Shi Shaochuan you never told me about your wife since I returned " she said as she assumed her seat and a waiter walked towards them .

" Good evening sir and ma, may I take your order " he said cutting their conversations.

" I would like to have sushi and some juice please " Lui Jinjing said.

" Are you sure, you'll be okay with that ," Shi Shaochuan asked.

" It's fine "

" I'll have a bottle of wine and sushi also " he said .

" Back to our conversation , how's your wife ?" Lui Jinjing asked.

" She left " he responded not looking into her eyes.

" She left ??, " Lui Jinjing laughed .

" Yeah she did , I was tired of her being all clingy and all that" he laughed back .

" I'm happy you were able to get rid of her " Lui Jinjing said as she took a sip of her juice .

" Lui Jinjing , there's something I've been wanting to tell you " he said sounding serious .

Lui Jinjing looked at him as she tried to pick up sushi .

" What's wrong Shaochuan ?" she asked.

" Lui Jinjing , you've been single for two years now , we've been besties since childhood , because of the fact that I couldn't love any other person apart from you made me go into a relationship with that mad woman . Lui Jinjing , you're a self made person , a young actress and a well skilled detective. You've achieved so much after Hu Qinglun left you ." He paused and Lui Jinjing is stupefied , heartbroken and frightened.

" Please be my girlfriend ,Lui Jinjing " he proposed.

Suddenly someone coughs which interrupts their moment . Lui Jinjing looks up and realizes that it's Xu Feng , she wondered what he was doing there .

" Hi , I'm Xu Feng, Lui Jinjing's boss " he introduced his self to Shi Shaochuan.

" I'm Shi Shaochuan , a very close friend of hers "

" Could I probably join you guys for dinner ?" Xu Feng asked.

" Sure , it's no big deal " Shi Shaochuan said .

Lui Jinjing never liked Xu Feng but he actually came at the right time and saved her .

He was on a casual V-neck t-shirt , He was looking ravishing and amazing , She hadn't taken a proper look at how handsome he was , He had blue - gray eyes and perfect facial features , he was more handsome than a male god and her mouth was wide open and agape .

" Jinjing " Shi Shaochuan called as he snapped his fingers.

She came back to reality ,

" I'm, I'm , I was just lost in my thoughts "

" So what brings you here , Xu Feng " Shi Shaochuan asked.

" I came here for dinner and it was a surprise to meet Lui Jinjing here, so I decided to join " he explained .

"That's nice"

Lui Jinjing was quiet and let them continue with their talks,

"So you must like Lui Jinjing a lot" Xu Feng asked.

" She's the one I love the most " Shi Shaochuan said looking into her eyes .

" Are you two dating?" he asked .

" No , but I hope so " Shi Shaochuan answered.

" But she told me she wasn't single in the form she filled this morning " As he said this Lui Jinjing looked at Shi Shaochuan for help but sadly he didn't look her way.

"She never told me about me anything about having a partner , Infact I just proposed to her and she hasn't replied " Shi Shaochuan said

" It's fine , she also looks like she loves you ,so Lui Jinjing what's your response to his request?" Xu Feng asked.

"I'm sorry Shi Shaochuan but I can't love again , I'm deeply sorry" she said and stood up immediately rushing out of the restaurant .

She completely forgot that she didn't bring her car with her.

Shi Shaochuan followed her immediately but he didn't find her and it started raining heavily,

"Xu Feng , you have to help me find her , we'll split up and search " Shi Shaochuan said,

Xu Feng never took orders from anyone but he just felt that she might be in danger.

The sky poured down heavily and everywhere was almost floody .

Shi Shaochuan tried calling her numerous times but she wasn't picking up.

Xu Feng searched for her but he couldn't find her.

Lui Jinjing was at the cemetery , she was drenched and the rain still kept pouring on her and she didn't mind ,

She was crying as she walked towards a buried person's coffin.

With the name Lui Zhang written bodly on it.

She sat on it and kept crying .

"Father ,father where are you?, Please don't keep looking at me this way , Father , I acknowledge that I'm not your daughter . Yes , it's true, I heard when you had argued with mom that night . But I knew you kept it from me for a reason and I never bothered to search for my parents because you always cared for me " She paused and kept crying .

"I'm who you always wanted me to become , a soldier , And I also didn't give up on my dreams , I'm now a well known actress . I have money and I can get whatever I want dad. But love is missing,

Hu Qinglun was planning on killing me and he just abandoned me , he never loved me . It hurts ,It hurts so much . After everything I did for us and him, he just had to betray me , "

"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh" she shouted loudly.

"Dad, thank you" she blew his grave a kiss and left .

She kept wandering the streets even when she knew that , she couldn't hold in the coldness for too long .

Xu Feng and Shi Shaochuan kept searching for her but to no avail .

Shi Shaochuan retired to his house , while Xu Feng decided to search for her a few more minutes and head home ,

He was driving when he spotted a lady with his car's headlights in the rain .

He immediately recognized her ,

"Lui Jinjing " he muttered and stepped out ,

as he held her she lost consciousness , he took her in his car to his house .

He arrived at his villa and Xu Shiyu ushered them in as they were drenched , she saw that her brother was carrying an unconscious lady and she was curious to know who it was and surprisingly she was watching one of her films .

Xu Feng laid her on his bed and arranged her hair properly .

As Xu Shiyu saw her face , she recognized her immediately .

"Harmony , in the film Flames of Love " Xu Shiyu blurted out.
