Have you ever considered going back to the modeling industry?" asked Dong Hai and Jin Liwei glared at him. "Not at all. I'm fine with how things are," she replied continuing with her meal.
Jin Liwei who felt ignored all this while stood up and Li Fei looked at him to ask," Where are you going?" "Home. I'm not feeling well," he replied and she also stood up. "Let's go then," she said and he walked leaving her behind. "I will see you later Dong Hai. Please excuse me," she said before taking quick steps to catch up to him.
Li Fei who came half running got into the car and calmed her breathing. "Is anything wrong?" she asked looking at him.
"Home," was all he told the chauffeur and the car started moving.
The car was covered in eerie silence throughout the whole journey. On reaching home, Jin Liwei left the car and she picked her handbag before running to catch up to him.
Yin Chen noticed Jin Liwei come in with a grim expression on his face as his long legs took large strides to the bedroom and later she heard the door slam with a bang. Shortly, Li Fei came in running and she gave her a small smile as she went to the bedroom as well.
From the view of things, the couple had gotten a misunderstanding and she hoped for them to solve it soon.
Li Fei found Jin Liwei lighting a cigarette and he started smoking. She ran to him and pulled it out of his mouth before saying," You said you weren't feeling well but here you are, smoking. Shouldn't we be calling the doctor?" Not bothering to look at her, he walked to the closet and she followed only to see him get another cigarette.
"What is wrong with you?" she asked before pulling it out from his hand again.
He looked at her this time and asked," You're really asking me what's wrong?" "Yes, tell me," she demanded and he came to stand next to her before pulling her waist and bent forward to kiss her lips hungrily.
She felt him sink his teeth in her bottom lip and bit it only to make her taste blood in her mouth. He didn't stop with her assault even when she struggled in his arms for breathe.
When he felt satisfied with his punishment, he released her lips and he saw her gasp for air. She pressed her chest with her palm as she struggled to make her breathing even. Her hair was messy and her eyes were teary when she looked at him. Her bottom lip was red and swollen.
Feeling regretful, he said, "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" "What happened?" she asked her chest heaving as she struggled to control her breathing.
"I lost control when I saw you with that man. I don't care who he is to you, it just bothers me seeing you with someone else. You introduced me as a friend to him and it irked me. I came to spend the rest of the day with you but you're attention was on someone else. You totally ignored me as if I didn't exist," he said and she pondered over what he had said. Had she ignored him?
Remembering the events of the day, she realized that she had indeed abandoned him.
Looking up to him, she said," I...I am sorry. I didn't intend to ignore you. It's just that having taken long without seeing Dong Hai, I thought to spend some time with him. He was my friend other than being my manager. And introducing you as a friend, I did it because he is a tattletale and I don't want our relationship to go public yet. Forgive me."
He tore his eyes off her and said," I'm sorry for acting irrational. I tend to lose my rationality when it comes to you." "You shouldn't apologise. It is my fault," she said and she watched him walk to the fridge then opened it and got some ice.
He walked to where she was and asked her to sit on the bed. When she did, he squatted between her legs and placed an ice cube on her swollen lip and she shuddered.
He did it continuously until he felt as though it was enough. Looking at her parted lips, he was tempted to have a taste on them and he leaned over to kiss them so gently.
His tongue licked her wound and she slightly winced in pain which sound elicited a whole different reaction from him. Noticing him stop, she leaned forward and pressed her lips on his again. As the kiss became intense, he remembered that they couldn't do anything in her condition.
He stopped her and said," I will go take a shower." Nodding at him, he stood up and left to the bathroom.
She got her phone and called Liling to inform her that they were already home. After, she called both her parents. Just as she had finished speaking with them, she got a call from her brother. "Yes?" she asked the moment she answered. "How is Shanghai?" he inquired. "Good?" she said. "That's great. I guess you're with that man Li Fei but I hope that this trip will help you decide. The one month I gave you is done," he said. "Wow. What a caring little brother I have! Calling me to ask how I'm doing," she said sarcastically.
"Li Fei I'm serious," he said. "Listen, Li Jiang. I'm a grown up person who knows what she's doing. Unless you want to know how I'm doing, please don't bother me," she said before hanging up.
A while later as she sat in front of the mirror applying her body lotion, Jin Liwei came to stand behind her and she watched him gather her hair before placing it to the side. She saw him place a necklace around her neck and she noticed that it was a gold heart shaped pendant. It was so beautiful.
"You like it?" he asked and she nodded smiling before saying," I love it." " I thought it would look good on you and I wasn't wrong," he said and she felt the heart locket in her hand.
"I will never remove it," she said. "Don't ever," he said and she suddenly remembered that she had also gotten him something.
