The next day, the sun shone through the thick curtain. Xiao li rolled over on the bed and realised that it was already morning.
She turned around and saw that there was no one beside her; Jingyi Wang had already gotten up. She washed up and walked out.
As she walked down the stairs, her phone rang. She immediately picked it up and before she could speak, a loud voice rang out, "Xiao li, how can you forget about your own best friend? Now that you are in a rich man's house, you seems to have forgotten everybody"
Xiao li pulled the phone from her ear and looked at the phone in surprise, "Zhi ruo?"
"You don't even recognize my voice again?" Zhi ruo asked loudly, "I can't believe you are my friend. How can you forget me?"
Xiao li froze when she heard this. The phone she was holding almost fell from her grip.
"I did not forget you. It's just that I was not allowed to leave the house or even make a phone call" Xiao li explained with a heart ache. She could feel Zhi Ruo's pain through the phone.
Zhi ruo heard this and remained silent.
Xiao li continued, "I will come and meet you wherever you are, okay? I'm on my way"
Zhi ruo repeatedly reminded Xiao li to come and not to forget. After giving Zhi ruo her promise, she hung up the call. Then, she walked out.
She saw Jingyi Wang swimming in the pool with a graceful and fit stance. Xiao li didn't interrupt him.
Jingyi Wang looked slim and his muscles were visible whenever he had no clothes on. Unlike aesthetic muscles made in the gym, Jingyi Wang's muscles were taut and firm.
Only when Jingyi Wang's head popped out of the water and after he ran his fingers through his short hair, did Xiao li speak up, "Jingyi Wang, I beg you for one thing"
Jingyi Wang supported himself on the railings and then emerged out of the water, draped a towel around his waist and walked towards Xiao li.
Seeing Jingyi Wang walked towards her, Xiao li used that opportunity to hold his arm and swing it left and right coquettishly.
Jingyi Wang looked at Xiao li's hand which was holding his arm and asked in a magnetic voice, "What do you want?"
"Can I go out for a while?"
Jingyi Wang heard this and froze. Then he turned to Xiao li and said in a wicked voice, "Is that what you asked for?"
Xiao li immediately nodded and explained, "I'm just going to see Zhi ruo. Zhi ruo is my childhood friend, but when you took me, I've never met her. She called today and asked me to go and see her, and if I don't go, it would be too unreasonable"
As she spoke, she blinked her eyes and gave a pitiful expression. Jingyi Wang stood there and stared at Xiao li as if he was thinking of something.
"Jingyi Wang, I promise not to run away. We are getting married soon and it's impossible for me to run away"
Hearing that they were going to get married soon, Jingyi Wang's expression softened. He looked at her calmly, "Okay"
Xiao li jumped up in joy and quickly ran out. She was afraid that he might change his mind.
---
Xiao li went out and saw that a luxurious car was already waiting for her outside.
She was shocked and turned around to look at Jingyi Wang who was now dressed casually.
"This-"
"I can't allow you to take a cab. Also, I want your friend to know the type of fiancé you have now"
Xiao li looked at Jingyi Wang's proud expression and rolled her eyes.
Who doesn't know that Jingyi Wang is the richest man in G.city?
Jingyi Wang watched as Xiao li climbed into the car and waved at her. Xiao li told the chauffeur the address and relaxed in the car.
Seeing that they were almost at the residental area where Zhi ruo lived, Xiao li asked the chauffeur to park the car at the side. She walked into the largest boutique supermarket in G. city and went to buy some things for Zhi ruo.
When she reached Zhi Ruo's house, she called her to pick her up at the gate. Xiao li was playing with her phone when someone knocked on the car's window.
Xiao li raised her head and saw Zhi Ruo's beautiful face. Xiao li was shocked at first and then her eyes filled up with tears.
It was very difficult for Zhi ruo to see this because the windows were tinted with black.
A smile broke out on Xiao li's lips and she wound down the window exposing her paled, beautiful face.
Seeing Xiao li's face, Zhi ruo was stunned. She exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao li, is this you?"
---
Zhi ruo brought Xiao li some fruits and went to get some water for her. She sat down beside her and scanned Xiao li's body.
Xiao li noticed this and asked, "What?"
Zhi ruo peeled an orange and ate it as she said, "Xiao li, you have become so fat. Look at your cheeks, they are chubby. It seems like young master Jingyi Wang is really taking good care of you"
Xiao li glanced at Zhi ruo meaningfully and remained silent.
Zhi ruo suddenly remembered something and hit Xiao li's arm angrily, then she complained, "Xiao li, am I not your best friend? Why did you keep such thing from me? You knew I was worried about you, yet you didn't tell me that you slept with young master Jingyi Wang"
She paused for a while and continued, "Everyone was worried about you, including me. I was so worried about you that I almost cried. It was after I heard that young master Jingyi Wang was treating well, that I was able to rest"
Zhi ruo has been restless for days now and was not able to have a good sleep all because of Xiao li. She was scared for her friend because of who Jingyi Wang is as a person.
She was scared that he might kill Xiao li.
Every night, she would pray for Xiao li's safety.
But when she heard that Jingyi Wang was taking good care of Xiao li and didn't lock her in a room for days, she was somewhat relieved.
Hearing Zhi Ruo's complaint, Xiao li felt guilty. Her heart broke into million pieces. She moved closer and hugged Zhi ruo, "I'm so sorry. I never knew you were this worried about me"
Zhi ruo pulled herself from Xiao li's embrace and pouted her lips, "LiLi, promise you won't do that again?"
Xiao li repeatedly said, "I promise, I won't keep any secrets from you again"
After she said it for the tenth time did Zhi ruo give a satisfying smile and patted Xiao li's head.
Xiao li rolled her eyes at her and smiled.
Zhi ruo said, "Xiao li, I heard that you are going to marry Young master Jingyi Wang soon"
Xiao li heard this and nodded her head.
Zhi Ruo's eyes narrowed at Xiao li and she lean forward, "Tell me, Xiao li, do you love him?"
