"I... I'm so sorry. I...honestly didn't know what to do and I just did what came to my mind at that time. I never thought that you would have wanted to have the baby especially with me. Please forgive me," she broke down and started sobbing and it's when he let go of her hand. Looking at her wrist, he caught sight of the red mark he had inflicted.
"It is so easy for you to apologise after committing crimes isn't it?" he asked before continuing," Because of you, the doctor lost her license and who knows what else I'm going to do."
At this, she looked at him and said," Please don't punish her for what I did. Everything is my fault." He put his hands in his pockets and said," Perhaps there's a way you can save her and your parents from my wrath." "I will do anything," she said almost immediately when she heard that her parents were involved. "Give me another child," he said his expression unfathomable. Li Fei quickly gave it a thought and said," I will do it."
"Good and don't you go back on your word. And I want it to happen soon," he said and she noticed him coming closer. Her heart raced and she wondered if by soon, he meant now. When she saw him close to her, she closed her eyes waiting for what was coming next when she felt his hot breath brushing her ear and neck and later, he whispered," Expect me more in your room from now on."
With that, he left her room and she felt as though she could breathe again. His presence was too strong and at the same time suffocating. Her mind went back to their negotiation. Did it mean that they had to do it until she got pregnant? Her face blushed scarlet red when she thought about that. But, what if she failed to get pregnant again as the effect of the abortion? No, she shouldn't be having such negative thoughts.
She wondered the place she will be having in the child's life. Will Jin Liwei let her mother their child or keep her away from it so as to punish her? Li Fei decided to worry about that after she gets pregnant. Just then, her phone rang and she saw Caihong calling.
Although Li Fei had never wanted Jin Liwei to find out, she was thankful right now that it happened because she was now free from Caihong's threats and manipulation. She felt like she had been lifted off a heavy weight from her back. She wasn't going to waste any of her time picking his calls. He could do anything he wanted now. He called several times and sent threatening messages but she wasn't having any of that now, or ever again.
She called Liling but she wasn't answering which meant that she was sleeping already.
Sighing, she laid on the bed and closed her eyes to get some sleep but her heart was still racing.
When Li Fei refused to pick his calls for two days, Caihong wondered why his threats didn't scare her anymore. He decided to call Liling. "Hello, Who's this?" she asked the moment she picked up. "Liling, how are you?" he asked. "Caihong, you sure have the nerve to call me! You're so shameless," she lashed out. "First tell me, is Li Fei alright? I've been calling but she doesn't answer," he said. "What do you want to tell her? Threaten her again?" she asked. "Liling it isn't a threat. You know how far that man can go. As her friend, you should be advising her to do as I say." Liling chuckled before saying," Well, let me tell you something. Jin Liwei found out about it and guess what, he wasn't furious at all. In the end who lost? You have nothing against her Caihong. And one piece of advise for you, that is not the way they- " He didn't wait for her to complete her words.
So, Jin Liwei already found out about everything and it's why she wasn't scared anymore. Caihong thought that it was high time to opt for the second alternative.
On the weekend, Li Fei was in the kitchen helping Yin Chen with cooking. Thanks to Yin Chen, she had learnt a number of things she didn't know about since in her past life, she used to sit and just order the maids around.
Jin Liwei hadn't slept home ever since the other night and it made her wonder when they will be making the baby. She blushed furiously when she realized what she was thinking about. "Shan taught me how to make these spring rolls," Yin Chen told her. "They look to be delicious," commented Li Fei as she watched her doing the final touches.
"Indeed they are. Everything she cooked would be super delicious and it's how she ended up stealing the Young Master's heart. Li Fei thought about it. Was the saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach true? If so, she had no chance because the only dishes she knew were just the basic ones and she had learnt them from Yin Chen. Nothing special.
It piqued her curiosity and she asked," How did they meet?" "Shan was his personal secretary. With her sweet and charming nature, she was able to melt the Young Master's cold heart," she said as she went on with what she was doing. So she was his secretary. "He must have loved her a lot," she could only comment. "She loved him too. Both loved each other but we never get to decide what happens in life, do we?"
Li Fei could only drown in guilt.
Just then, a maid came to inform them that they had visitors and on reaching the living room, both were shocked seeing the unexpected visitors. The Chengs, Shan's parents were the visitors. Cheng Fen, Shan's mother glared at Li Fei. She could never forget that face.
