Chapter 103: Chapter 103 The one I love
When she called him for the second time and he didn't answer, she decided to leave his phone. Perhaps he was busy. Yawning, she felt her stomach growling and she decided to first have a cold shower before heading downstairs to eat. She was feeling so lazy as a result of sleeping for so long.
Getting up, she undressed and wrapped a towel around her chest. As she was tying her hair, her bedroom door opened and in came her mother. "When did you come- " Li Mei's words got stuck in her throat the moment she saw the hickeys on her daughter's body.
They were imprinted on her neck, shoulders and a number of them were on her thighs. She could tell that they covered her whole body and she didn't have to be told how she had gotten them.
Li Fei on the other hand stood biting her bottom lip in embarrassment. She knew that her mother was looking at her hickeys and she knew that she had understood how she had gotten them.
Li Mei cleared her throat before saying," I will come back later."
Li Fei remained behind wondering what she had thought and what she was going to tell her.
After bathing, she made her way downstairs and had something to eat. As she attempted to go back to her room, she was stopped by a maid who informed that her mother had called for her in the attic. Making way towards the attic, she found her seated while taking some tea. Joining her, she took a while to say," You lied about your friend being sick and you instead spent the night with a man, didn't you?" Li Fei looked down and slowly nodded her head. "Who's he?" her mother asked. Hesitantly, she said," The one I told you about. The one I love." She took a deep breath and said," But you said, he didn't feel the same way." "Yes but it was a misunderstanding. He travelled all the way from Shanghai just to tell me that he loves me and that he's been suppressing his feelings for me," she said.
Li Mei took a while to ask," So, he went back?"
She shook her head before saying," He got an emergency call and he had to leave." "Okay. So when should we expect to see him? He clearly has to take responsibility," she said.
"He will come soon, Mom," she said. She nodded before asking," But... are you sure that you're doing the right thing?" Li Fei firmly nodded before saying," Yes Mom. After so long, I'm truly happy." "And I'm happy for you," her mother said.
In the night, Li Fei was moving a movie on Netflix when her phone rang and the moment she saw the caller, she grinned widely. She immediately picked up," I miss you already."
She heard him softly chuckle before saying," Me too. I called you earlier." "Yes, I was sleeping. I was so tired," she said playing with a strand of her hair. "I knew you would be," he said and she blushed furiously. She was lucky he wasn't around to see her reaction. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Nothing much. I was watching a movie. What about you?" she asked. "I'm going through some reports. I found everything messy this side," he said and she could hear a sound of pages being flipped. "This late?! It's past ten in Beijing and it must be eleven in Japan. I know there's much to do but have some rest. You will resume from there tomorrow," she said.
"I will be leaving in thirty minutes," he said and she somehow relaxed.
"Did you talk to your parents?" he asked. "Not yet," she said. "Okay. I called to check up on you and also wish you a good night," he said. "Have a good night too and please have some rest," she said.
That night, Li Fei slept happily.
Next day being a Monday, she woke up early since she had to go to work. It was around six when she came out of the bathroom and started rummaging through her closet. Somewhere, she didn't know how she was going to face Jianyu having called him the previous day and he didn't answer.
After her breakfast, she left in the car being driven by her chauffeur. Ever since the dreadful night that happened four years ago, she quit driving. It had grown to become one of her greatest fears.
Remembering that night, it made her wonder if dating Jin Liwei was right of her. Was it fair to Jin Shan? Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone which rang and she saw that it was him calling.
Picking up, she said," Good morning." "Good morning. How was your night?" he asked. "It was marvelous. I dreamt about you," she said. "How glad. I can't wait to have you in my arms again," he said making her wonder if by that he meant cuddling with her or more.
"Me too. How long are you going to stay there?" "I don't know. Things are much more complicated than I had thought," he said.
"It's okay. Take all the time you need." "Yeah, what are you doing?" he asked. "I'm on my way to work," she said. "This early? Isn't it seven over there?" he asked. "Yes. I didn't feel like sleeping anymore and I decided to go for work instead."
"Okay but maintain your distance from that man. Don't let him touch you," he emphasized and she could only agree.
For the whole day, Li Fei was surprised and glad that Jianyu hadn't spoke anything about the party or the call. Until in the evening when she went to consult with him about some business related issues. "You looked beautiful on the party," he started. "Thank you. And thanks for coming," she said with a small smile. "Always. Ah...I want to know something. That man who talked to me, is he your boyfriend?" he finally asked. She slowly nodded before saying," Yes, he is. I'm sorry that he talked to you that way. He snatched the phone before I could understand."
