On the other side after shopping, the group of the trio decided to go for dinner together. It was almost past evening. They decided to have something spicy.
Since there was still some time left, they strolled in the local market. Girls will always be girls, they always love to shop but consciously. They picked some small stuffs there which they thought to be selling at cheap prices. The day became quite memorable for them. In heart, Lifen was boasting her luck, which made her meet such wonderful friends.
When it was almost the time for dinner, they went to a Chinese restaurant nearby which was famous for its spicy flavours. They took a table near the gla.s.s window from where they could see the bustling busy streets.
"Lifen, let"s pay for this dinner in three shares. It would be our last time sharing the bill as after this you would be gone. And when you return we would be stable enough to pay individually", Daiyu said with a trace of sadness in her words.
Guang too nodded her head, "Yeah that would be a memory too".
Seeing them like this, Lifen too felt that she was going to miss it. She chuckled to ease the atmosphere which was slowly and slowly getting engulfed with sadness, "Really? Then let"s make a deal today. We will always be like this. No matter how financially stable we become in future we become in future, we will always share the bill in proportions as we have always done".
Hearing her words, Daiyu and Guang too smiled, "Yeah that"s sounds good too. Okay let"s order now".
The waiter came to take the order. "I will do this honour today. Let me please", Lifen said with a smile and took the menu book to order.
"Three portions of Dandan noodles, braised tofu with vegetables and bring the bubble tea first. That will do ", Lifen ordered politely.
The waiter retreated after noting down the orders. "Lifen, that was too little. Will it be enough for us to satisfy our stomach?" Daiyu said with a pout as if she has wronged her by ordering less.
Lifen and Guang both chuckled at Daiyu"s expression. "Don"t worry about your hunger. You can still have something at home. We have already spent much today", she said.
After finis.h.i.+ng the dinner at the restaurant, Daiyu wanted to drop Lifen home, but Lifen disagreed, "No, it"s already late, you both should leave first. I will take the cab from here".
At last Daiyu did as she was asked. Lifen was waiting for the cab but no free cabs were available. She was about to call Huang Fei to send a car over as was really getting late but as she was about to dial the number, a black Maybach stopped in front of her.
She was puzzled. The windows got rolled down and next came his familiar face, "Get in the car, I will drop you".
"No, it"s okay. You don"t have to bother. I have booked the car and it"s arriving in few minutes", she refused straightforwardly.
"Lifen, don"t be stubborn. Get in the car. I have been watching you from the moment you were strolling in the local market, your cab requests were all denied. So be good and get in. I will drop you", Deming said and opened the door of front pa.s.senger seat for her.
"You were stalking me? Don"t you know you can"t do this in the country? It makes people uncomfortable and unsafe", she wanted to rebuke him but her heart went soft looking into his eyes.
"You never felt uncomfortable or unsafe around me. So following you doesn"t makes me a stalker. I did what my heart said me to do. You have always favoured your heart decisions so today I tried it too. It felt quite satisfying. Now get in or I will have to step out", he cleverly used her words on her, making her speechless.
She didn"t wanted to take his help when it can give him some false hopes but it was true that it was getting late and she won"t be getting any cabs. She was about to call Huang Fei to send her the car but with his eyes around, it might reveal her ident.i.ty so she decided to get in his car.
Seeing her getting in, his lips curled up in a smile which has become really rare nowadays. He quickly moved forward to help her buckle her seatbelt, making her startle with his quick moment. Her breath was stopped when she saw him so close to her.
Deming let out a small chuckle, looking her suffocating herself by stopping her breath. Buckling her seatbelt, he went back to seat straight on his seat, "You can breathe now. Don"t suffocate yourself like that".
Lifen breathed out when she was reminded to breathe. "Don"t try that on me. It is suited when you try it on your fiancee", she said bluntly.
He then was reminded or the day when Lifen saw him with Jie in the car and misunderstood the situation. "Little Cat, nothing happened between me and Jie that day, believe me".
"Huh? What are you talking about? I don"t know or remember anything. You shouldn"t explain yourself to irrelevant people. There is no need for that", she said. Her face was devoid of any expression.
"You are not irrelevant. You are the most important person in my life. I should only explain myself to you because in my heart you are someone who matters me the most", his every words were sincere enough to reach her heart and melt it.
Her heart get swayed with his words, "Are you going to drive or should I get down. It"s not late I can walk myself home".
"It"s around 3.8 km from her. Are you planning to walk. I can accompany you. It will help with get more time with you", he said with all seriousness.
Lifen rolled her eyes at his words, "Drive me home please, Mr.w.a.n.g"
Deming got amuse with her words, "I will but first call me Deming, not Mr.w.a.n.g".
Her expression on face was showing irritation but he didn"t missed her eyes where there wasn"t any annoyance but feeling of longing.
"Okay! Drive me home please, Deming", she said.
