That night, both Jing Yue and Liling slept with a smile on their faces but the former was the happiest. Finally, his plan was unfolding. He gave her a job such that he could get closer to her.
...
In the morning, Liling was woken up by Jing Yue's call. Lazily, she picked up and said," Good morning. I woke up thinking about you."
"Good morning," she replied groggily. "I can't wait to see you," he added. Liling sat up and said," Come on. You see me everyday." "I know but I can't get tired. I'm outside your condo building," he said and she quickly stood up to go look through her window," You must be kidding me." "I'm serious. Take your time I will be waiting for you," he said. "You would have woken me up before leaving your house," she said as she looked at his car.
Liling hurriedly bathed and ran to her closet to look for what to wear. Last night, she didn't prepare the clothes since her mind was occupied by thoughts of him.
She hurriedly left the house and on reaching the car, she took a deep breath before saying," You nearly gave me a heart attack." He chuckled and started the car. On reaching the company, she said," Remember our agreement, no one should find out." "First give me a kiss," he said and she glared at him.
"I'm serious. I'm not unlocking the car unless you do it," he seriously said and she realized that he meant it. Slowly, she came closer and gave him a peck on his cheek. Hesitantly, he unlocked the door and she immediately left the car.
...
As each day passed, Li Fei was getting better and having spent two weeks remaining at the house, she had decided to resume working next week. Thanks to Yin Chen, she had been able to convince Jin Liwei that she needed some time while staying home. Night had already kicked in and she was laying in the bed.
She was laying with her back as she stared at the ceiling. Whenever she tried thinking about the future, it was funny how she saw Jin Liwei in it. Perhaps it was because she had never thought of him ever setting her free. She also doubted it could be the reason because for all the things he had done to her, she had never hated him.
Still lost in thoughts, her phone buzzed with a message and on checking, it was from Caihong.
'Li Fei, how are you?' it read. 'I'm okay. How are you?' she replied almost immediately.
'I'm okay. I'm just outside Jin Liwei's residence. Come meet me, I have something important to tell you,' she read and a frown came to settle on her face. Wasn't he in Shenzhen? And this late?! 'Caihong, I can't come outside now. It's late," she sent. 'Please try, it's really important,' she read and looked at the time which was past ten in the night.
'I'm really sorry Caihong. I can't risk getting out of the house this late. Mr Jin Liwei won't like it," she sent but the next message Caihong sent shocked her to the core.
She read it once again to confirm if she was not seeing things. It read,' Will he like it then if I told him that you aborted his child?" Li Fei became confused. Who told him? Was it Liling? And was he threatening her right now? This is not the Caihong she knew! She immediately called him that instant to confirm. "Caihong, what is that you're saying?" she asked the moment he picked up. "You know what I'm speaking of Li Fei. Come and meet me right now," he said and she was even more shocked when she heard that it was indeed him. "Are you threatening me right now Caihong?" she asked in total disbelief.
"I'm not threatening you. Threatening would be me telling you that you had an abortion in Paramount private hospital and that it was doctor Shin who worked on you. Think wisely, Li Fei," he said before hanging up leaving Li Fei in utter shock.
Only three people knew about this and it was her, Liling then Yin Chen. There's no way it could be Yin Chen because she had no connection with Caihong. Could it be Liling then? Wasn't she her friend? Before she could think of anything at the moment, she received another message from him and it said,' I'm waiting in ten minutes.'
Li Fei immediately got up and dressed then left her room. She first peeked around the house and after making sure that no one was watching, she went to the door and slowly opened it before moving out. Reaching the gate, she told the guards that a friend of hers had lost her key yet she had her spare key.
With that, they allowed her to go out.
She spotted his car from a distance and walked to it. When she reached, he asked her to get in and she did. "How can you do this to me, Caihong? You reached as far as threatening me?" she asked the moment she sat. "You left me with no option Li Fei. You're ever speaking about that man. You even went as far as sleeping with him. Do you love him?" She lost it and said," Whether I love him or not, it's my life and whether I sleep with him or not, it's still my body. You have no right to interfere with how I run my life. Yes, you've done so much for me and I truly appreciate but you shouldn't cross the line, Caihong." He looked at her and said," Okay. Let me show you." He got out his phone and showed her Jin Liwei's personal number making her wonder where he could have gotten it from. Of course, Jin Liwei was a business man and a public figure.
"I'm going to call him and tell him everything Li Fei. He will not only throw you out of his life but he will also make your parents suffer once again. For two times Li Fei, you made him lose on the chance of becoming a father and you think he will spare you this time?"
