"Okay! Fine! I won't tease you anymore, just tell me what's been wrong. I clearly heard your stressed blabbering just now. What's wrong?" Guang asked, getting a little serious.
"Ummm there is a problem but it is not so serious. I think I am just overthinking the things", Lifen paused for a moment to decide whether she should share her immature thoughts with her friend or not then deciding it for the decision, she continued.
"It's just that I have become immaturely insecure over little things. It should be like that I know but I can't help but get a feeling of insecurity in my relationship with Deming"
Her friend gave some thoughts to her words and then asked, "Lifen, I don't there is something for you to worry about in your relationship. We all have witnessed how serious Deming is regarding you. There is no way …"
"I know … I know there is nothing to worry. And it's not like I doubt his feelings for me. No I can never. But somehow today I can't help but get a little immature with my senses", Lifen defended herself, interjecting her words in the middle of Guang's words.
"Why? Did something happen today?" she asked again.
Lifen pursed her lips and then meekly nodded as if her friend could see her small gesture of acceptance. "Few weeks ago, I met with an accident" She stooped in her words only to add a quick detail to the scene before Guang erupted on the other side of the line. "I met with an accident, but nothing serious happened. Instead I got my legs back. So please don't worry about it"
"Dear, are you for real? Please go and change your name from Li Lifen to Li Shìgù", Guang said sarcastically making Lifen all confused. ( Shìgù = accident)
"Umm … what do you mean?"
"Please don't pretend to be so innocent. Your name 'Lifen' means fragrance. Though it compliments you but more than that now you have become a bundle of accidents. Every alternate day you get involved with some accidents or mishaps. So won't it be better if we start you 'Shìgù'?" Her words held a concern but it was very perfectly hidden behind the curtains of sarcasm.
"You … Do you want to hear the story or not? If not then tell me I won't bring it up to you", Lifen warned, understanding that if she does not divert the mind of her friend from the issue then she will be hearing a good amount of scolding for sure.
"Fine, continue with your story. But let me remind you. This topic is not yet over. First of all, you didn't call us and already got married to a man. And that was not enough to end, but you also got involved in another accident. It's good that only I am hearing this. Just guess what would have happened if Daiyu was here?"
"That's enough, don't blame me. It's not that I got myself involved in an accident intentionally. It just happened and at that time I was with a driver. Now listen to the rest of the story. Don't distract me or I would forget to mention the good and essential parts" Lifen added.
"Carry on! I am listening", Guang said and then quietened down as a good listener.
Soon Lifen completed the whole story from the day of the accident to the present. She told her all about Rebecca and also the past experience she has shared with her. Though she has not been very elaborate about the things that have happened between her and Deming, she has almost given a gist of the reasons that she pulled herself a little away from the romantic touches of the man.
"Okay! So the problem arose after your savior has shared her past experience with you?" Guang asked as she kept on pondering over something the amidst her words. Like she was speculating something.
"Hmm … you can say it like that", Lifen accepted without any hesitation. It was true that her mind was having these suspicions after she heard those things from Bebecca.
"But Lifen you were not like this. You never believe in other's words unless you yourself gets confirmed on it. Then why are you now …", Guang was not understanding why Lifen thoughts were getting more and more complicated suddenly. She had doubts that someone was manipulating her mind.
"Umm I don't know. I, myself never supported him in front of her but then that phone call. He has never done something like this before. What do you expect to think in this condition?" It was not Lifen but her thoughts were defending her.
"Still dear I can only say you are overthinking it. Deming is not like the man in your savior's story. And furthermore, you still don't know what was the reality behind it. Maybe the way the things are presented, is not the reality. Maybe there is also some second part of the story that you are still unknown to. Why bother someone else's experience when you can make your own?" Guang tried to make her friend understand the facts.
When she heard her words, Lifen too felt that what she said was right. What's the use of depending on others' experience when you can create your own?
"Yes, you are right. I have not known the other side of the story. And judging just a book cover is something I should not do. Fine, I got everything now and I must say living with Ning Xui Ying has not only casted bad influence on you. Your senses and thoughts have become more sharp and reasonable. Next time, I must call and thank him for this", Lifen said as she stood up and walked towards the big window of her room.
"I have always been sharper than you. You are only the dense one and something like this crops up. Hmph!", Guang defended herself but did not try to prove the reasons wrong.
Smiling at her such indirect revelation, Lifen asked "Haha … it looks like I am missing a lot of stories these days. Someone is getting a deep drive in a land of love. Quick, quick tell me everything. I am waiting"
"There is nothing like that, dear. I am just trying to know him better. There is a lot more to know about him. After living so close to him, I understood that he was not as simple as he looks. So just trying my best to know him. Rest everything is fine. And I am also trying to get myself accustomed to living her", Guang said.
"Yes … Yes, I can understand. I have also lived there for two years. The lifestyle there is very much different to how we live here. But believe me, once you get used to it you enjoy it to the fullest", she tried to cheer her up and then asked, "And tell me, how is you father now. His deal with Nings … how is it going?"
"Huh … this time I have not even tried to give them any ounce of favor. Did they really think that they could sell me off just like that and I won't say anything to them? I never believed that I was so good, then how can they" Guang said as if she was reminiscing some scenes from before. Her words and tone were showing the traces of venom in it. The venom that was solely directed to her enemies.
"Oh oh okay! Don't scare me like this. What have you tried this time on them?", Lifen could sense the hostility in the tone of her friend's voice.
"Haha … nothing serious. Last time when they came, they asked for Xui Ying's help. I have just put forth a condition in front of them. Pass 42% share to us then only we will help them in managing their company. If they can then there would be nothing with which we can help him too", the nonchalance with which she said those words made Lifen surprise to the core. This was not her friend. Truly a woman will get affected by the man with whom she spends her time with.
Her friend was just getting good at handling business tricks in a swift manner. Now her knowledge will be taken care of in a good and efficient way.
For some moments, Lifen was not able to respond to her, so Guang asked "What happened? Are you still there, Lifen?"
"Ah … Yes … yes … I am still comprehending your words. Why I feel that your words have not only set a condition to them but has also a net to trap them. With your condition getting fulfilled, won't that make you the biggest shareholder in their firm while again in the second part of the condition you have also let them know that if you help them then the decisions made in the company will be made as per your orders?" She paused when suddenly felt a pair of arms wrapping around her.
There was no doubt who the person was but what surprised her was not his sudden embrace but the different blend of perfume he had on himself. It was clearly not his, but more like some new invented perfume that was made accidently after getting mixed with some woman perfume.
She felt his cold breath on her neck that was having some hints of alcohol in it. "Guang … I will call you later" She said and then disconnected the call. At this time, she has something to understand in a better way. What was actually going around?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Okay! Fine! I won't tease you anymore, just tell me what's been wrong. I clearly heard your stressed blabbering just now. What's wrong?" Guang asked, getting a little serious.
