"Why did you do that in front of my mother?!!" she scolded him the moment she swallowed her food. "What?" he asked feigning ignorance.
"You know what I'm talking about! The noodle incident," she reminded him. "Ah, that. I forgot she was in the room," he said "Liar," she said. "Believe me. You know that with you here everything else disappears and I only see the two of us," he said. "You did it so she could leave, didn't you?" she inquired. "No but I'm glad she did. Go on with your food," he said. "No I'm full," she said.
"You sure?" he asked and she nodded. He stopped because she had eaten already much. Giving her water, he said," You should eat Li Fei. You get me worried." After taking several sips of water, she raised her hand and said," Aye. I promise."
A while later, the maid came for the plates and Jin Liwei glared at her. When she left, he asked," Did you change the maids?" "No."
"Why? You should get new ones and fire all the old ones. One might be working with that woman," he said. "I will tell Jiang about it."
Silence came between them when she said," Jin Liwei, can you promise me something?"
"Anything," he affirmed. "That you won't ever leave me. Ever," she said looking at him.
He knew that she needed assurance and he declared "Nothing at all would ever make me leave you."
Before they knew it, the two were kissing and soon they got lost in their own world. She laid on the bed and he came on top of her then kissed her lips hungrily. He licked and sucked her lips nipping them and she softly moaned.
Remembering the place they were and her condition, he pulled away and looked at her adoringly. "What's wrong?" she asked wondering why he had suddenly stopped.
"Nothing," he said and just then, the door was opened and a maid came Looking at them in a compromising situation, she lowered her eyes immediately and bowed her head before saying," I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt."
"What is it?" Li Fei asked sitting up. "Ms Li Mei has said that you should turn on the television and watch the news. Please excuse me," she said before leaving.
Getting off the bed, she walked to the television and switched it on only to see the news reporting a body that had been found by the roadside. The police said that they have been looking for her and her identity has been proved to be Zhan Biyuan. Li Fei turned to look at Jin Liwei and whispered," She is dead."
She walked to where he was and said," I'm so scared." "You shouldn't be. Nothing will happen to you," he assured her.
Later, they made their way downstairs and Li Mei and Li Jiang in the sitting room.
"Mr Jin Liwei, I'm glad that you came," said Li Jiang. "I had to and I'm glad that I was able to help but the news were so unexpected," he said. "I can tell the same. I came as soon as I found out and I'm wondering who could have done it," stated Jiang.
Jin Liwei decided to leave and Li Fei walked him to his car. "Will I be able to see you again?" she asked and he caught sight of the anxiousness in her eyes. "Hopefully yes. But don't pull your stunts of not eating food again," he warned. "They were not stunts. I had no appetite," she said in her defence. "You have to eat even though you don't have it. You got it?" he asked and she nodded. Before the two could hug, they were interrupted by Jiang who came to say," Mr Jin Liwei, I want to have a word with you." Knowing that she wasn't needed, Li Fei gave him one last glance before walking back to the house.
"What do you think about the incident?"he asked. "I think she was killed by the master mind. The one that ordered her to poison Li Fei," answered Jin Liwei. "I was thinking of something like that too. But who could be that person?" "I'm yet to find out. Does she have any enemies you know of?" he asked. "None that I know of." "I will think of something. Tell the guards to be more alert now that we don't know who wants to harm her." "I understand." "I will take my leave right now," he said and started to walk away.
"Thank you for worrying about her," he said making him pause and he turned to say," You don't have to thank me. It's my duty."
Going back to her room, she searched through the things he had brought for her and among them, she caught sight of a phone and a smile came to settle on her lips. Holding it, she dialed in his number and he immediately picked up. "Did you reach already?" she asked. "No. I'm still on my way," he said. "I will let you drive. Call me when you reach," she said and hang up. She wondered how her mother would react when she finds out that he had given her a phone.
Away from there, Jing Yue and Liling laid naked in the bed in each other's embrace. When he noticed her silent, he asked," What is wrong?" Sitting up, she looked at him and said," I know that we talked about this already but- " "About the baby," he completed and she nodded. "I honestly can't help but get worried. It's been four months and nothing yet," she said.
Taking a deep breath, he said," What do you want?" "Let's go for a check up together," she suggested. "I honestly think it's not necessary. Four months is not that long," he said and she pursed her lips. "Okay," she said but he knew nothing was okay. "When do you want to have the test?" he asked.
