She would but it was like getting his hopes high before she would slam them on the curb. He was a man and later in life when their honeymoon phase would be over, he will see the things she lacks and the things others hoes could give him.It was better to steel her heart now then getting it broken later beyond repair. Lei Xinyi taught her that.
"I can"t do that too. Madam Lu and Master Lu asked me to stay with them, He Zheng will go there too. Lu Xinyi father thinks it would be good for my...mental health to be surrounded by people." She met him with a little forced smile, "Besides, your "present" girlfriend would mind it, no?"
"Su Qing, you are the only woman I have been with. Those are paid actors bonded by a contract." He confessed with a proud smile. There was no lie in his statement. It was true, she could see it in his eyes.
But it was insane and ridiculous. If he was waiting for, her he was doing a mistake. She could be a girlfriend but she would never be his wife, wives become mothers and whole optimism in the universe couldn"t change her reality.
Su Qing blinked and shook her head, "Why would you...?"
"Remember I gave you a promise ring in highschool. How can I cheat on my future wife especially when she is a jealous type?" He pointed at her left-hand pinky finger where she was still wearing it. His smile grew looking at her still wearing it.
Su Qing closed her eyes and put her hand in the sheets to hide the ring from his intense stare.
"And this is necessary, I live with about four men in a house with no woman if I were not to date, the tabloids will write extensive essays on my s.e.xuality. No?" He asked to lighten the mood of the room when it was clogged it thickened with further tension.
"We broke up..."
Yu Jain cut her off, pointedly, "You broke up, I told you then I would wait for you. I am still waiting."
Su Qing sighed in resignation, she would have to explain it to him another way, "You can visit me there, often."
If Lei Xinyi would have been here, she would have dragged him out and s.h.i.+elded her like a chicken protected her chicks but then if Lei Xinyi was here she wouldn"t be here in the first place.
A smile lit up Yu Jian face, "I will visit you every day."
Su Qing laughed and shook her head, "Not that often!"
Master Lu and Madam Lu had gone to the restaurant below. He Zheng and Lu Xinyi were standing out with their own thoughts waging wars in their heads.
Lu Xinyi looked at the car keys in her palm with a blank stare. The car was supposedly delivered at the Yu Mansion already. Did they know she attempted suicide in a car?
How considerate to give her a car!
Her father had gifted it to her as a present but she knew better, it must be some big brand with all the latest tech for her security. She was thankful but couldn"t shake off the buzzing head of hers.
This fear made her paralysed in other words. Would she even be dependent on others for being independent? Lu Xinyi sighed for the nth time and kept the keys in her pocket.
"Lu Xinyi!" He Zheng called out to her. Lu Xinyi looked at him ahead leaning on the front wall, "Do you mind if I ask you, why did you go to Su Qing condo?" He was looking at her with an inspection gaze.
It was rather an awkward question, she was also Su Qing friend. Why was he looking at her like she was some mastermind with a motive?
Lu Xinyi frowned in confusion then tilted her head and shrugged, "I went there to offer my condolence for her and your loss and...I am moving out from Yu Youhan"s Mansion and I wanted to buy a place of my own but really don"t know how can I do that on my own so..."
Lu Xinyi was kind of embarra.s.sed. It was not a place nor timing to mention something like that and gave an awkward smile. She wanted to slam her head on the front wall.
He Zheng expression didn"t give anything up.
How strange...a girl with one of the most influential men as her father and another man controlling the economy of the whole continent on his heels for her, was asking for them to look for a place.
The girl was strange to think the least or better said suspicious than strange.
Why would her father keep her caged and those eyes...there was a possibility that she was one of the Lei"s heiresses. All the heirs were complicated, cunning and clever. None were any less than a complicated codding.
She must be too but she was too good of an actor, it seemed. But she didn"t know of him yet then she must be behind Lei Xinyi, like all the other heirs!
He Zheng gave her one harmless smile and nodded, "Well, that"s not an issue. I know a real estate agent too from when I got my place."
"You can help me?" Lu Xinyi looked at him with a happy smile in surprise.
"For what you have done for me today, I will do anything to pay you back."
"Don"t say that." Lu Xinyi smiled and shook her head, "Su Qing is dear to me too. So, we are cool, totally cool!"
He Zheng smiled yet again but his reasons were a flip 180 degrees different from Lu Xinyi.
Once he was sure of her heritage, he was exterminating the pretentious angel himself.
After all, wasn"t that what the rules stated. You killed before they killed you, the girl"s interest in them was peculiar, he was going to use her scheme against her.
First, he will find Lei Xinyi through the Lu Family resources, and there was no better way to do it then doing it under their roof, and then he will end this girl. He Zheng grinned.
