He sighed before saying," Thank you but... I'm so ashamed. I can't believe it has been me all along. I thought I was perfectly healthy."
"You don't have to feel embarrassed about anything. We are going to pass through this and we are going to have healthy kids," she assured and he looked outside the window thinking hard. Honestly, he couldn't believe it.
Starting the car, Liling asked," Should I drop you at the office?" "No. I will go home," he said and she nodded albeit it confused her. He had left the office saying that he had a few errands to run after the test.
When they reached home, she decided not to go to the restaurant either. She walked to the pool side and started thinking hard. She knew that he wasn't fine with the news and for a moment she wondered if it was a mistake suggesting the tests. But then, they wouldn't have known about the problem sooner and the earlier the better right? Although she desperately wanted a family, she decided to try her level best and be patient without pressuring him.
...
Walking to Li Fei's room, her mother turned the knob and she realized that it was locked. Calling her name plenty of times, she got no response and she hurriedly left to get the spare key to the room. Opening the door, she was surprised not to find her in the room. Walking over to the bathroom, she knocked on it before pushing it open but she wasn't there either. She wondered where she could have gone. Thinking hard, she left and looked for the Butler. "Where's Li Fei?" she asked. "The young miss is in her bedroom as usual. She asked not to be disturbed," he reported. " Okay. Inform me when you see her again."
She walked back to her bedroom and sat down on the bed. Just what did Li Fei want from her? She knew that she was with that man right now. What was she supposed to do? 'BaoBao, how I wish you were here with me. Everything is so overwhelming,' she said looking at his photos that were hanging on the walls of the room.
...
"How did you do it?" Li Fei asked the moment she entered the house. "What?" asked Jin Liwei. "How did you convince our guards? They never do that," she sat on the couch and removed her shoes. "You know that I can do anything for you," was all he said. "At this rate I'm getting worried. The way my guards complied to you is worrying," she said crossing her legs and she added, "I just hope mother doesn't realize that I'm missing." "Even if she does. It will be already late," he said.
The two went to the kitchen and cooked then ate together.
After, they went at the back of the house and sat at the swing as they talked about random things.
Later when it was evening, they went back to the house. Coming from the bathroom, Li Fei found Jin Liwei laying on the bed looking at the ceiling and she joined him. She came closer to him and pecked his pink lips before asking," What are you thinking about?"
"A lot of things," he replied. "Like? I want to know," she said. "Among them I was asking myself. What are we doing next? What if your mother never accepts us?" he asked. At that, she pursed her lips and said," To be honest, I don't know... but I was thinking of talking to her. Maybe if I make her understand, she might put us into consideration."
"And what if she doesn't?" he asked. "We have to be hopeful right?" she asked.
"Yes but I want to be with you. I've waited enough. Don't you think?" "I want the same thing too. Please wait for this one time, please," she pleaded. "My parents have been pestering me that they want to see you," he said. "Oh my God, it's been so long. I would like to see them too." "We shall do that after everything is settled."
"Hmm, I was thinking. You've stayed here for so long. What about work in Shanghai?"
"Everything is being handled. You shouldn't worry." "Even then. I know that it needs you to be there. You can go and check how things are then come back," she suggested. "I will see."
Leaning forward, he kissed her lips and she opened them to him, welcoming him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her. Pushing him onto the bed, she came on top of him and kissed him.
His hands that were on her waist trailed upwards and they entered her blouse. Reaching her chest, he touched the clasp of her bra and wanted to open it when he remembered. He got his hands out and settled them on her waist.
Breaking the kiss, he pressed his forehead on hers and said," If you attack me like this, I will forget that we shouldn't do anything for five months." With that, her eyes opened and she said," Five months?! It's three months Jin Liwei."
"I spoke to a gynecologist friend of mine and he told me that it will be better to wait for five months," he said. "Five months?!! My doctor told me three months and there's no way I'm waiting for that long Jin Liwei," she said getting off him. "Okay okay. Three months that's it," he said. She went to stand in front of the mirror and tied her hair into a messy bun. "Are you going right now?" he asked coming to stand behind her.
"Yes. I don't want mother to know that I'm not home," she turned around to face him.
Pulling her to his embrace, he said," It did me well to spend the day with you." "You have no idea," she said as her hands wrapped his torso.
"Thank you for being in my life. For accepting me even after everything," he said. "I thought this was a forbidden conversation," she told him and he chuckled.
