"First and foremost I'm so sorry for whatever happened Li Fei. Don't ever think that I abandoned you at the worst point, you know I would never do that. I wanted things to first cool off before coming to see you but Hu Feng told me that you weren't allowed to receive any visitors in prison leaving me with no option," Dong Hai explained. "It's fine, Dong Hai. What are you doing in Shanghai? she asked. "When you got sent to jail, I left Beijing and I also quit the modeling industry. What are you doing here?"
"Oh! I'm so stupid. Meet my friend Liling, she's going to get married and I came to attend her wedding. Liling, this is my former manager Dong Hai," she introduced the both of them.
"It's nice to meet you beautiful. Congratulations on your wedding," he said.
"Thank you and nice to meet you too."
"You're still at your parents' I guess. The last time I read, you were working at your family's company and it made me wonder when you started becoming interested in business," he said. "I actually did a business course while I was in prison. How is your life right now?"
"Boring ever since I lost you. You always kept me busy. How are you taking your life now? Don't you find it boring too?" "At first it was but I got used to it now. Why don't you get other models? You were a good manager by the way," she said. "I know but none is like you. I quit the industry," he said with a bored expression on his face.
Jin Liwei who had been calling Li Fei to let him know where exactly they were got worried when she didn't answer the call multiple times. He then called Liling who answered and the first thing he asked was if she was with Li Fei. She assured him that she was fine and that they were together. Directing him, Jin Liwei together with Jing Yue reached the spot and the sight that welcomed him wasn't pleasing at all.
She was speaking to a certain man and the two were sitting so close to each other. She seemed to be so interested in what he was saying as she laughed every time he spoke. She refused to pick his calls just because of this man?
The two walked to where they were sitting and Liling was surprised to see Jing Yue here. She didn't expect him at all.
Jing Yue walked to his woman and hugged her before whispering," I can see you're getting ready for tomorrow. Are you nervous?" "Yes," she confessed. "You don't have to be. This man here will marry you even though you appear to be the ugliest bride he's ever seen," he teased her and she pouted her lips.
Meanwhile, when Li Fei saw Jin Liwei, she became aware of the closeness she shared with Dong Hai and she stood up.
Dong Hai on the other hand couldn't believe that he was face to face with the two business tycoons. Jin Liwei! What was he doing here and looking at them!
"Uhm..Jin Liwei, this is my former manager Dong Hai," she introduced but the man just looked at him. Li Fei looked at Dong Hai to say," This is Jin Liwei my... friend."
Jin Liwei's eyes narrowed at the introduction. Her friend? Did this woman like this man?
Li Fei decided to introduce him as a friend because she knew how a blabbermouth Dong Hai was. If he got to know that something was going on between them, she was sure that the whole of Beijing would know by tomorrow and she didn't want her parents to know about it yet.
Dong Hai smiled and stretched his hand to Jin Liwei for a hand shake and said," It's such a pleasure meeting you Mr Jin Liwei." He looked at him and just nodded his head.
Dong Hai slowly lowered his hand in embarrassment. Liling who had taken the shopping bags to the car came back to say," Jing Yue, let's go for the Tang Yuan festival on the roof top." "Oh, it's where I was heading to. Let's go Li Fei," said Dong Hai and Li Fei looked at Jin Liwei. "Let's go," he said and got hold of her hand before they started moving.
Dong Hai caught sight of the little action and gave a knowing smile to Li Fei.
To Jin Liwei's frustration, the man kept hovering around Li Fei and she seemed to ignore him even though he was holding her hand. He thought of taking her back home but decided against it.
On reaching the roof top, there were so many people but the group squeezed itself among them and when they reached a less crowded place, Jin Liwei noticed that they had remained the two of them and his happiness knew no bounds. They had finally gotten some time alone but he saw her eyes searching through the crowd and his eyes narrowed. "What are you looking for?" he asked. Looking to him, she replied," I was looking for the others but I guess we've lost them."
"Don't mind the others. Let's just go on," he said and they continued walking amongst the people. As they were alone now, he was yet to ask her why she addressed him as a friend but his dream was short-lived when he heard," Li Fei!" On turning, it was that man who had caught up to them. He shot him a cold glare wondering if he was stupid not to notice that he was not wanted. To his dismay, Li Fei smiled and said, "I was wondering where you went to."
"I'm so happy I found you. I got your favorite ice cream," he said giving her the container. "Thank you, Dong Hai," she replied getting it and started eating immediately. Jin Liwei couldn't believe that she was so excited about mere ice cream. He could get it for her and more.
When the time reached for them to get tang yuan, Jin Liwei said he wasn't interested and Dong Hai excused himself before returning with two bowls.
The three of them got a spot to sit as the two enjoyed their meal.
