"As much as I may want to come, your mother wouldn't be pleased to see me," remarked Jin Liwei. "I don't think she would mind it this time. Please come over, if you're not busy that is," Li Jiang said. "I will see what I will do," he said before hanging up.
Walking over to his mother, he said," I think he is going to come." "Okay," she replied although she didn't want to.
"I will leave for work now, " he said.
It was around noon when the Butler came to Li Mei's bedroom to say," The person you've been expecting is here, Ma'am." She thought before saying,"Take him to Li Fei's bedroom. I will come shortly."
Jin Liwei who had just arrived was sitting in the parlour taking in every detail of the house.
Although it didn't match his family house, it wasn't bad either. He caught sight of the family photos that were hanging on the walls and he spotted the young Li Fei. She was so chubby, no where similar to the current Li Fei and it made him chuckle.
The only similar aspect were her eyes.
"Excuse me sir, please follow me to the young Miss's bedroom," said the Butler and Jin Liwei stood up to follow him.
Reaching the door, the Butler knocked before trying to turn the knob but it was locked from inside. "She locked it. I will get the spare key," he said turning to leave when Jin Liwei said," Don't bother. I will take care of it."
"Are you sure?" asked the Butler. "Absolutely," he said and he nodded before leaving.
Li Fei who was sleeping on the bed heard that voice and she immediately sat up. Could it be that he was here? But no, there's no way he could set foot in this house, not when her mother was here. She must have mistaken it, she thought and laid back on the bed. She heard a knock once again and later, " FeiFei." She hurriedly left the bed and went to stand in front of the door. "W-who is it?" she asked. "It's me," she heard and immediately unlocked the door.
Opening it, she saw that it was indeed him and before anything, she jumped to his embrace and he held her tightly. A while later, he felt his shirt becoming wet and he realized that she was crying. He pulled away from her and they entered the room before pushing the door closed. He cupped her face and made her look at him," What is wrong?" She shook her head and went back to his embrace again.
Moments later, he led her to the bed and made her sit down before sitting besides her.
"What is the matter?" he asked. "It's nothing. I just missed you," she said sniffing. "Tell me what's wrong. That's not why you're crying," he said and she took a while to say," It's just that I feel so bad for failing to protect our baby. You know that it has happened three times and it's all because of me?"
"Is that why you've been crying? And refused to eat anything?" he asked. She nodded before saying," I don't have any appetite." "You're going to eat something ain't you?" he asked to which she nodded. Just then, the Butler came in with a tray of food and drinks then placed it on the bed and quickly excused himself out of the room.
"I'm sorry about the way my mother treated you last time in the hospital. How did you come here by the way?" she asked. "Your brother invited me," he said. "And my mother let you come?" she asked. "I guess so. I didn't see her on my way though," he said. Li Fei looked at him and wondered. He would have decided to go back to Shanghai considering the way her mother treated him and the drama that surrounded her life. But here he was, just because she refused to eat.
She pushed herself closer to him and said," Tell me, why do you love me so much?" He dipped his head and brought his face closer to hers and their noses gently rubbed together," Eat something and I will answer that question." Her eyes closed while her lips parted but before they could kiss, the door was opened and in came Li Mei. Her eyes narrowed at the close distance and intimate position she found them. "I only invited you to my house such that you can tell her that her health is important. Nothing more," she said before taking a seat at the couch and looked at them.
Li Fei slightly pushed back to create some distance and Jin Liwei got the food that was brought. He got the chopsticks and picked some food before raising them to feed her. Li Fei glanced at her mother who was watching them keenly and her face turned red. She looked at Jin Liwei who didn't bother about the glares being sent to him and she opened her mouth to let him feed her.
"You like it?" he asked and she meekly nodded. Picking again with the chopsticks, she said," Jin Liwei, I will feed myself." "No. You failed to do it yourself so I will do it this time," he said and she could only let him.
He continued feeding her and Li Mei couldn't help but wonder how shameless the man was. Doing that in her presence, God knows what he would do when she is not here.
Somewhere when he was feeding her noodles, one got stuck at the corner of her lips and he removed it. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Li Mei was looking at them and he put it in his own mouth. Li Fei's face turned red from the action and she almost choked on the food she had in her mouth.
Li Mei who had watched the scene was left speechless. The man was utterly shameless! She realized she had to leave before he ends up doing more in her presence. Standing up, she said," You should respect the fact that I'm here. I will be back shortly." With that, she left the room hurriedly then shut the door close and Jin Liwei chuckled.
