When Jianyu left, she got back to her room and picked her handbag before leaving. She had planned to sleep at their love nest since she expected Jin Liwei tomorrow.
"Where are you going?" Li Mei who was coming from the kitchen found her.
"I'm going somewhere Mom and I won't be coming back today," she said. "Where are you going to sleep?" "Somewhere safe mother," she said. "Okay okay. Don't worry about anything. I will take care of all the preparations." As she was leaving, she said "FeiFei, Thank you." Getting what she was meaning, she nodded and turned to leave.
She spent the entire day in bed thinking of how she was going to break the news to Jin Liwei. It shouldn't be so difficult because it wasn't true, right? But considering his possessiveness, she doubted it would be easy. She was determined to convince him though. She was going to do everything in her power to make him agree.
She got her phone and went to the internet searching for various ways to please a man.
In the evening as she was on WeChat talking with Jin Liwei, he said that he was coming in the morning yet they had agreed on evening. As they were still arguing on that, she got a video call from Liling and she immediately picked up.
"You finally remember that you have a best friend," she said the moment she answered.
"It's not that FeiFei. How are you?" she asked and Li Fei didn't miss to catch the hickeys all over her neck and shoulders since she was in a night dress.
"I'm fine. I can see that someone has been busy doing naughty things under the sheets," she commented to which Liling blushed and said," I missed you." "I doubt you did considering on how busy you've been. When did you guys come back?" "Today morning," she replied. "How are you?" "Happy. How has life been going?"
"Ohh, what can I tell you Liling? Nothing is well," she answered. "What are friends for? Tell me," she said and Li Fei narrated everything.
"What?! Why didn't you tell me?" she couldn't believe it. "I didn't want to trouble you on your honeymoon," she replied. "Ohh, things have been really tough for you. What are you going to do? "Jin Liwei is coming to Beijing tomorrow and hopefully, he will understand. I just pray he agrees," she said playing with a strand of her hair. "I understand. Just know that I'm here for you. If you need my help with anything, you just have to tell me," she said.
"I know. Thanks for being a good friend. And please, don't tell Jing Yue about it. At least not yet, he might tell Jin Liwei," she said. Liling raised her hands to her lips and indicated as if she had zipped them before saying," I promise." As they were still talking, Li Fei caught sight of Jing Yue in the background who came wrapped in a bathrobe. She cleared her throat and said," Tell him that I sent my regards. Bye."
"I'm done with preparing the bath. How is Li Fei?" Jing Yue asked sitting next to her on the bed. "She's really going through a tough time right now. Can you believe that her Dad..."
Liling bit her bottom lip when she remembered that she was warned not to say anything. Why couldn't she just keep quiet at least for once? "Her Dad what?" he asked.
"Nothing," she was quick to say. "Okay. Let's go and have a bath," he said massaging her shoulders. "Tell me Jing Yue, will you forever be this sweet to me?" she asked turning to look at him. "Of course," he said looking at her. "Thank you for everything. For choosing me, for- " "I should be the one to thank you for coming into my life," he said as he helped her get down the large bed. "You are spoiling me way too much," she said as they made their way towards the bathroom.
"Tell me, have you decided on what you want to do?" he asked. She had decided to resign from being his secretary. Albeit, she had given him a condition that he had to hire a male secretary which he readily agreed to.
Entering the bathroom, she removed her night dress saying," I want to run a restaurant. Cooking has always been my passion."
"You sure about that?" he asked.
"Yes. Something small where I will be working hand in hand with my employees," she explained with a smile. "Okay. I will make the necessary arrangements." "I will do that myself Mr Jing Yue, though thanks for your concern. I will look for the place, get the license, choose my employees and everything. You have a lot of work to do," she reminded him and she started brushing her teeth. He looked at her skeptically and he got his tooth brush too.
The next day, Li Fei woke up early and went to buy the things she would need tonight. A long while later, she went back to the house and started making preparations.
She had decided that she was going to cook today although she wasn't that good at it.
When it clocked four in the late afternoon, she started with the cooking. The first meal was a disaster as it came out burnt and she poured it.
She prepared four dishes and properly stored them. She just hoped they were good. Calling his number, it was off and she thought that he might be on the plane.
She went back to the room and took a look at everything. She wondered if he was going to be mad at her considering that she had been distant to him. Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, she heard the door being opened and then closed. Hearing the footsteps in the house, she knew that he was here. She suddenly started feeling nervous. Taking a look at herself for the last time, she took a deep breath and went to meet him.
