Reaching the hospital, they were led to the doctor's office and Jin Liwei first explained the situation of the poison and miscarriage.
"So then what's the matter?" the doctor finally asked. "The issue is, we got intimate yesterday and I'm afraid that I might have hurt her because I saw traces of blood on the sheets afterwards," Jin Liwei explained and when the doctor looked at Li Fei, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"So I want to have her checked so that we can be sure that everything is fine," he added.
The doctor nodded and once again looked at Li Fei to ask," Ms Li, are you feeling any pain?"
Her face turned beet red and clearing her throat, she whispered," Yes." "Do you find difficulty in walking?" he asked and she nodded shyly, not daring to meet his gaze.
'This is so embarrassing,' she thought.
The doctor got up and said," I will prepare everything so that I can examine her."
Jin Liwei's brows raised at that and he asked," Are you the one going to check her?" "Yes, I'm going to - " "No way. I want a female doctor to check her," he said much to Li Fei's relief.
"You shouldn't worry about anything Mr Jin Liwei. I'm a very professional doctor and I can't cross the line," he explained. "Even then. Another man won't see much less touch my woman. If you can't get a female doctor then, we shall leave," he said.
"As you wish Mr Jin Liwei. I will get a female doctor," he said before leaving the office.
When it was the two of them, Jin Liwei teased her and said," I can't believe you're the same bold person who drugged me last night. Why are you suddenly shying away infront of other people?" "Stop rubbing it in my face," she huffed and he chuckled.
After the examination, the doctor came to deliver the results.
"There are no internal injuries. She just got external swellings and as for the soreness, we have given her painkillers," she explained giving them the envelope.
"Thank you," Li Fei said peeking inside.
With that, the two were relieved but mostly Jin Liwei and when they reached the car, he warned," Don't dare pull that trick again."
"Don't refuse me too," she told him.
"Since we've not worked today, why don't we go somewhere interesting. You have any suggestions?" he asked and she thought before saying," Let's go watch a movie at the theatre."
"This early?" he asked and she nodded.
"Alright," he replied starting the car.
By the time they left the theater, it was already evening since they watched three movies. He decided to drop them somewhere such that they could have dinner before proceeding home.
"Do you realize that this is our first date?" he asked and she nodded, unable to talk because she had stuffed a lot of food inside her mouth.
He remembered something and said, "Before I forget, I want to tell you that I'm going for a business trip." With that, she swallowed hurriedly and immediately asked, "Where? When?" "I'm going to Korea the day after tomorrow," he said. "Why? When are you coming back?" she asked looking at him and he caught the anxiousness in her eyes. "It's important. I'll be back after a week," he explained and he saw the sadness reflecting in her eyes.
"You can come with me if you want to," he said. "If it weren't for work, I would have come with you," she replied. "You shouldn't worry. I will come back. It's only a week," he said and she nodded.
...
"Have I packed everything?" Li Fei asked as she cross checked his bag to see if it contained all that he might need. "I guess so," he replied buttoning his shirt. "Do you think I should put more sweaters?" she asked looking at him thoughtfully. "That will be enough," he said and went to look outside the window before saying," Wang Mel is here. I should get going." "He's here?" she asked walking to the window and she saw that he had indeed arrived.
She turned to look at him and said," Jin Liwei, don't go." "Come on FeiFei, don't be a crybaby. I will be back before you know it," he said hugging her and he added," Come back early from work and be safe for me. Don't go anywhere else at least until I come back." She nodded before saying," Call me all the time."
Pulling away, he got his small suitcase and she said," Take care of yourself and don't skip your meals."
He had rejected the idea of her escorting him to the airport because he thought it will be saddening to leave her there. Who knows, he might end up cancelling the trip yet it was very important.
He leaned to her before kissing her lips gently and quickly, he left the room before he could change his mind.
"Call me as soon as you reach," she yelled loud enough for him to hear.
She waited until she saw him enter the car and it left disappearing from her sight. Leaning against the window, she realized that her lonely days had started and she missed him already. She walked to the study and opened the laptop to busy herself in creating new designs.
It was around eight at the night when Li Fei had just left the bathroom wiping her hair when her phone rang. Running to it immediately, she picked it up.
"I miss you already," was the first thing she said when she saw him.
"I miss you too. I've just checked in the hotel room," he said and she saw him sitting on the bed. "You must be exhausted." "Yes but I couldn't sleep without seeing you," he said.
"I'm sleeping all alone in this huge bed tonight," she said. "It will only be for a week, don't you worry," he assured her.
"I know, take a rest." "I will call you tomorrow morning. Have a good night sleep. I love you," he said and she nodded before hanging up.
Three days later, Li Fei was getting used to Jin Liwei's absence. As she was in the kitchen learning how to prepare some dishes with the help of Yin Chen, she felt her phone vibrate and she pulled it from her jean pocket.
Seeing Li Jiang calling, she looked at Yin Chen and said," Please excuse me. I will answer this first."
Walking away, she answered," Hello?" "Li Fei, how are you?" "I'm alright. How are you?" she asked back. "Are you busy?" he asked instead. "No, do you need anything?" she asked.
"We have a problem," he said.
