Walking to the room where she used to keep the flowers, she started getting them as she threw them outside.
Jianyu who found her getting rid of the flowers asked," What are you doing?" "I'm throwing them away as you can see." "Why? I thought you liked them?" he asked. "Yes but I decided to throw them." "Okay. I will help you," he said and he helped her get rid of them.
When they were done, she said," Thank you so much Jianyu. I'm so tired today so I will sleep early."
"Won't you have dinner?" he asked. "No. I don't feel like it. Have a good night," she told him.
Going to bed, she failed to sleep. What did he want them to talk about? He wanted to drive her crazy but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. But why has he been sending her flowers all this while? It was probably to mess with her. 'You have to be strong. Don't listen to him. He wants to destroy you,' she muttered to herself.
The next day at work, Li Fei was lost in thoughts. She was spacing out all the time and she realized that her personal issues were going to affect her work. Walking to the CEO'S office, she asked for a week's leave which was granted, much to her relief.
As she was getting ready to leave, she received a call from Liling.
"Hey, what happened? Your phone has not been on?" she asked the moment she picked up. "I'm so sorry FeiFei. I had some issues," replied Liling. "Issues? Is everything alright?" she asked. "Yes, don't worry. Tell me, how have you been?" "Everything is complicated Liling. I don't know what to do," she said. "What happened?" "Jin-Mr Jin Liwei. He is bugging me. He wants us to talk."
"Uh, and what did you say?" "Of course I refused. He only wants to mess with me again."
"Why don't you listen to what he has to say?" asked Liling.
"I can't do that Liling. Who knows what he wants to do this time? I can never fall for his traps again," she said. "Okay I understand."
"Liling, I will call you back," she said when she saw her door open.
Hanging up, she looked at Suyin who had come in. "I wanted to inform you that I am taking a week's leave. I have a lot going on in my mind," she said. "I understand. Uhm, among the things going on in your mind, Mr Jin Liwei is included right?" Suyin asked.
"No. Listen Suyin, what you saw that time was a misunderstanding. It was nothing."
"It didn't seem like nothing to me. I also saw the way you left the album launch. Something must be going on between you two."
"There's totally nothing. Really," said Li Fei. "Don't worry. He's so handsome and filthy rich. I would do anything to be in your place," she said and Li Fei got her bag then said," See you in a week. Don't hesitate to call me in case of anything." Sharing a brief hug, Li Fei left the place. Although she was Suyin's manager, she didn't want their relationship to exceed that and there's no way she would tell her about her private life.
She went to sit at the park so as to get some fresh air and relax her mind. She thought of leaving Shenzhen but she knew that she will never be able to run away from him. He would hunt her until he found her. Taking a deep breath, she decided to go to her house.
By the time she reached the condo building, it was starting to darken. As she was walking towards the stairs, she felt someone tug her hand and on turning, it was him.
"You? What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I was waiting for you so that we could talk," he replied.
"Talk about what? Mr Jin Liwei, why don't you leave me alone? You destroyed me already, what is it that you want? You want me kneel or kowtow before you, I will do it," she said as tears rolled down her cheeks. As she was going down, he caught her on time and said," Please don't do it Li Fei. I should be the one doing that." "Don't touch me! You just want to drive me crazy. Why don't you kill me for once and for all?!"
She ran towards the stairs when she heard him say," I've always loved you and I still do. Everything happened for a reason and all I want is a little bit of time to explain."
She halted in her steps and turned to look at him before continuing to her house.
Opening the door, she was surprised to find Jianyu at her house. "How did you get in?" she asked. "You gave me the keys just yesterday. Don't you remember?" he asked. "Oh, I now remember," she said walking to the couch.
"You're from crying. What happened?" he asked coming to her. "Nothing. I was at the park and something got in my eye but I'm fine now," she answered. "Are you sure?" he asked and she nodded.
"Okay. I saw you speaking with a man outside. Who was he?" he asked. She internally gasped and said," N-no one in particular. He was asking for some directions." He looked at her keenly and nodded. He had clearly seen that it was Jin Liwei. Why was she lying to him? Although he didn't hear the words spoken, he saw the interaction between them and although she seemed distant towards the man, he didn't know how long it was going to last because he clearly knew that she still had feelings for him.
"Jianyu, I want you to know that I'm going home tomorrow. Mom wants to discuss somethings with me," she told him. "Is everything okay?" he asked. "Yes. They told me that there's nothing to worry about."
"Perhaps I should come with you," he said. "You don't have to. I will be back in a week. I really want to be with Mom." "But-
"Jianyu, I will come back. I promise," she said and he nodded.
At night when she was in her room braiding her hair, she remembered his words,' I've always loved you and I still do.'
What did he mean by that? Could it be true that he had a reason? But no, Li Fei, don't fall for his trap again. He just wants to drive you crazy.'
