Her eyes properly scanned the house before turning to look at him and she asked," Ours?" He nodded and she grinned widely before he said," Let's go in." On entering, she found that the interior was designed with different shades of purple and it made her wonder if it was because it's her favorite color. Exploring the house, it had a parlour, kitchen and two bedrooms. It had a warm and cozy feeling. She liked it here. Reaching to what seemed to be the master bedroom, she caught sight of her photograph that was pinned on the wall and a smile came to settle on her lips.
"You like it?" he asked and she nodded before replying," I love it."
"I bought this place for us last night. I realized that I will be coming more often to Beijing since you're going to stay here for some time," he explained and she liked the idea. This was going to be like their little love nest.
Going at the back of the house, she caught sight of a swing and she ran to it. She comfortably sat and when he reached, he sat next to her as the swing swayed slowly. Besides it was a small swimming pool. "When are you going to Shanghai?" she asked.
"Today. I have to make sure that everything is well at the company," he said. Feeling sad, she said," I'm sorry. I will be coming soon." Jin Liwei thought for a moment and asked," Tell me, what do you think will be your parents' reaction when they get to know about us?" She looked at him and he saw the hesistation in her eyes then he added," Be honest." Taking a deep breath, she said," Naturally, they... are not happy with you because of what happened and I think they won't be happy at first. But I will be able to pacify them with time."
He took a while to say," I know I have a lot to apologise for and that's why I think I should be the one to talk to them."
She thought before saying," No. My father's health is not good and I don't know how he will react when he finds out. My Mom is more furious with you," the last line was said in a whisper but he clearly heard her. He sighed and stood up to ask," Can't we do anything for your father's health?"
"Not much. Just following the doctor's instructions," she replied.
Taking a deep breath, he said," I think we should do this. The moment your Dad gets better, I will personally meet and talk to him. What do you think?" Li Fei thought for a while before saying," Okay. We shall do that."
At that moment, Li Fei's phone rang and she saw that it was Liling. When she picked up, the first thing she heard was a scream from the other side.
"Liling, what happened?" asked Li Fei alarmed.
"I'm getting married!!" she screamed again and Li Fei was beyond shocked. "Did Jing Yue propose?!" she asked. "Yes, he proposed yesterday. We are registering our marriage in a month!"
"Oh! Congratulations. I'm so happy for you," she said sincerely. "Thank you. You must be present FeiFei," she said. "Of course I have to," she replied and the two talked for sometime before the call ended.
She looked at Jin Liwei smiling and she said," Jing Yue already told you about it I guess."
"Yes. Let's get back inside," he said catching her hand and they walked back. All this while, Li Fei's mind was on the news that Liling had shared with her. Liling was lucky, she thought.
It made her wonder if a day would ever come when they will be getting married. Was Jin Liwei considering to marry her in the first place?
Reaching the room, Jin Liwei started making some phone calls as she went ahead with exploring the bedroom. She walked to the closet and found a number of designer clothes stocked for her. She came across the shoes, handbags and as she was still checking them, she felt Jin Liwei circle his hands around her waist and snuggled his face on her neck before whispering," Why don't we start creating memories in our house?"
With that, he turned her around and made her face him then captured her lips with his. Kissing, sucking and nipping as he assaulted her lips, she felt his hand penetrate her blouse and went inside exploring her body.
A long while later, the two laid together in the sheets and he said," I will be coming to see you once I confirm that everything is alright home." "I will be waiting. I will miss you so much," she said. "Take care of yourself. Stay away from strangers and trust no one. I want you to tell me if anything happens, even the slightest detail," he said his face serious.
"I will do that." "Keep your distance from Yan Jianyu," he said and she nodded.
Getting up from the bed, he went to the washroom and Li Fei's eyes fell on her photograph hanging on the wall. It was of the time when she was still in the modeling industry and the same photograph had appeared on a number of billboards in Beijing. She sighed and closed her eyes.
In the late afternoon, the two left the house and Li Fei asked to be dropped at the office since she wanted to confirm that everything was ready for the retirement party which was coming in three days. Reaching the Li Enterprises, the two kissed like there's no tomorrow and Li Fei said," I love you so much. I will be waiting to see you again." He froze when she uttered those words for the first time that he didn't know what to say. Later on, he reacted by kissing her lips again and said," I will see you soon." With that, they hugged for one last time before she hurriedly left the car and started to walk towards the company. When she entered, he also told the chauffeur to start the car.
