Her thoughts were interrupted by her father who said," Mr Yan Jianyu, do you approve of her being your personal assistant?" "Of course, I will be pleased to work with her," he replied almost immediately. Li Fei was beyond shocked right now after finding out that he was the Vice President. "That is settled then. We can proceed with the meeting," said the President and they proceeded.
After the meeting, the members started leaving one by one and when it reached Li Fei's turn, she heard someone calling her and on turning, it was Yan Jianyu, her Boss.
She smiled politely and walked to where he was. "I would have never thought," said Jianyu. "Me too," she said. "You suddenly stopped jogging. I thought something had happened to you," he said. "Not really. I just got lazy," she answered.
"It's good to see that you're already getting along," Li Bao came to interrupt them. "Yes Mr Li Bao. I can't wait to work with your daughter," said Jianyu. "I hope you train her and she becomes good in business just as you," he said. The three left the board room as Yang Jianyu was briefing her on how she was going to do her job.
Finally it was weekend and Li Fei had a moment of rest. It had been a week ever since she had started working for Li enterprises and she was getting used. She was on her bed looking into some documents and when she got done, she placed them on the table and got her phone. Opening the keypad, she dialed in Jin Liwei's number and she realized that she still remembered it. She saved it in her phone as 'Him.' Looking at the number, she wondered if she should call him. But no, she couldn't do it.
He may not like it and perhaps, she didn't have any excuse for doing it. She attempted to close it but she realized that the call had gone through.
She panicked for she didn't know how she had tapped the call option. She decided to end the call immediately but before, she paused. She decided to listen to his voice at least.
Taking long without picking, she had given up and was going to end the call when he finally picked up. She placed the phone on her ear and she realized that her heart was racing. After three seconds, he said," Hello?" Hearing his voice, her heart skipped a beat but she wasn't planning on saying anything. Both remained silent listening to each other's breathing until a whole minute passed and he hung up.
Li Fei touched her chest so as to calm her racing heart. She realized she missed his voice more than she had thought.
Just then, her bedroom door flung open and Li Mei entered to say," Have a quick bath and dress up. We are going to the airport to pick for Jiang." "Oh! I will hurry up," she said standing up and walked towards the bathroom. Her younger brother was coming back after so long.
One and a half hours later, the two were standing at Beijing international airport waiting for Li Jiang.
A long while later, Li Mei caught sight of him coming with his luggage and she waved both her hands so that he could see them. On seeing them, he made way to where they were with a wide smile on his face and Li Mei embraced him so tightly. "I missed you so much. You've grown so tall and handsome," she said after parting with him. He shared a brief hug with Li Fei and after he said," You two don't change at all. You're still as beautiful."
On their way home, mother and son were chitchatting about everything as Li Fei listened and smiled.
Reaching home, Li Bao was eagerly waiting for his son and the two hugged for so long. "You're so tall and you've grown into a handsome man," he complimented him and Li Jiang said," And responsible."
At lunch time, the four had dinner and the parents were the happiest, because both their children were here with them. "Your room has been prepared to your taste. If anything is missing, you should just tell me," said Li Mei.
"Thank you so much Mom, but I won't be staying here with you," he said. "Huh? And why's that?" she asked. "Mom, I'm a grown man now. I'm going to make twenty one soon," he said. "Only twenty one? What will happen when you make thirty? You're still young. You're staying here period," she concluded.
"Mom, I will be coming over during the weekends. Perhaps, it's not like I'm leaving Beijing," he said.
After a while, Li Fei said," Mom, please let him. That's how all boys are. You will be seeing him still." She harrumphed before saying, "We shall talk about this after lunch." Li Jiang mouthed a thank you to Li Fei because he knew that their Mom was going to accept. He wanted to talk to her about a lot of things. He knew everything that had happened four years ago but he couldn't come to support his parents due to some issues. "You have one month of rest before you join the company, Jiang. I want to retire as soon as possible," said Li Bao and he nodded. He had come prepared knowing that he was going to take over the company.
After lunch, Li Fei was resting on her bed when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she said and she saw Li Jiang's head peeking inside.
"Are you busy?" he asked. "No I'm not. You can come in," she said sitting up and he entered before sitting at the couch.
"How was America?" Li Fei asked him. "It's been good," he answered and she nodded before silence came between them. A while later, he cleared his throat and said," I know what happened four years ago and I would you to know that I'm very sorry. I know that we didn't get along a number of times but it didn't mean that what happened didn't hurt me," he said.
