Chapter 004

As Li Meiying came back into the living room, her complection was a little better and it seemed like she had completely given up on trying to convince him to stay with her witch made Song jingli sigh of relief but he really trusted this woman all too much.

She put down a cup of tea on the table and said with an exhausted tone. "Song jingli, I have heard you reject my friendship multiple times and even made ways to break up all means of communication between us and to tell the truth, I understand your stance. I just can't help feel a bit selfish at times...." Li Meiying sighed and steadied herself before speaking again. "Song jingli, I ma willing to leave you alone. I will soon back my bags and leave this city so we will never meet again." At the end of her sentence, she was choking on her sob and Song jingli couldn't stand the sight. He quickly stood up and patted her back softly "Li Meiying, just who asked you to leave the city? Even though we won't meet again does that mean you'll abandon every one and everything? don't be like that now." he consoled the girl as she hugged and buried her face in his chest. He had yet to find anything apparently wrong with what she was doing. "But what would be the point? The person I try to befriend the most is trying to distance himself from me. what do I do?" she continued sobbing. She snuggled deep into Song jingli's chest as she cried to her hearts content.

After what seemed like a while she finally let go of his chest and looked at him. "Are you okay now?" Song jingli asked with concern. She blushed and looked away from him "yes..." She paused for a second before saying in a sad tone "bro Su, will Hui-Fen be mad if she found out you met with me today?" Song jingli shook his head and hummed in an affirmative tone though he never thought or planned of telling her to begin with. The last time Fang Hui-Fen found out that he went out with Li Meiying, she caused quite the fuss about it and it turned out someone from the company had seen us in the restaurant together. This time, even though he knew that threatening him were just empty threats, he still came anyway. To fulfill his own desires.

Li Meiying smiled at his affirmation but looked worried on the surface. "Bro Su, I don't think it'll be very good to hide it from her. it's not like we're doing anything odd or anything." Song jingli stayed silent and didn't answer that particular question. they stayed in eachother's embrace for twenty minutes before breaking off again. Li Meiying sent Song jingli off to the door before waving at him. "Bye bye bro Su, see you again" she said completely disregarding the fact that she said she was no longer going to look for him. Song jingli smiled and waved back at her he left the villa.

Looking at the car leaving the building, Li Meiying grinned as she picked up her phone and looked at a photo. The photo seemed to have been taken secretly from the side and the lighting of the photo made the man and woman in it seem extra affectionate as they hugged. Li Meiying smirked and her eyes went dark. It's a matter of time my dear, you'll soon lose everything.

At Platinum palace

Song jingli got home but he stayed in the car for a while staring at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar building in front of him. This place felt so distant and even though he had spent two years in this place with that person, it felt so cold. it didn't feel as warm as when he was with Li Meiying certainly.

Song jingli realized what he had been thinking about and he shook his head violently as to shake the unwanted thoughts away. he got down from the car and walked into the home and Mrs. Qiu, the house keeper put down some slippers in front of his feet and greeted him. He waved his hands beckoning the woman to leave. As Mrs.Qiu left, a cheerful plum came from down stairs as she came to hug her husband as usual. She was already home.

Song jingli, somehow didn't feel as enthusiastic as he was before so he just let her hug him without hugging back. Fang Hui-Fen thought he was still tired from work so she raised her head to comfort him then saw a bright red lip stain right on his inner collar. then she picked up a faint smell of feminine perfume that didn't belong to her and her eyes darkened. before she could pick up more, Song jingli pushed her away slightly as he said he was tired as he made his way upstairs.

Fang Hui-Fen expression darkened as she thought of the unknown woman that got close enough to run her scent and mark her husband. As she was thinking about it , she got a message on her phone and it said 'Don't think too much darling, best you can do is watch as you see me take your husband(⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)' The text had an emoticon with a sickening smile on it and it made Fang Hui-Fen mad to the extreme. she wondered who had the guts to threaten get husband from her until another message popped on the screen and Fang Hui-Fen paled.

The people in the photo looked as affectionate as they were oh so familiar. The man was her husband and the woman was someone that she was starting to get wary of, Li Meiying.

Fang Hui-Fen stood in place and didn't move a muscle. She glanced upstairs and recalled Song jingli's a bit distant attitude with her earlier and she felt scared. she was afraid that she might lose her husband!
