Lifen didn"t wanted to argue with him anymore. Her heart was already wavering because of his intense gazes and previous words. Her heart was already contradicting with her mind. Even a second longer with him, will expose her shredded heart and she can"t let that happen.
She quickly waved her hand and was about pull the door open, when he grabbed her tightly and slammed her back at the french gla.s.s window, pinning her both hands on it with his hand and his legs almost straddling her sides.
"So you don"t love me? You had stopped loving me. Answer me, Little Cat. Answer me or I will...", he said in a hoa.r.s.e seductive voice.
Her mind lost all the rationality to think, it got blank. Her heart was beating erratically. No, she can"t let this happen. She can"t let him affect her. She won"t let him hurt her again. She tightly closed her eyes to get her thoughts back.
The moonlight coming from the window illuminated her face giving it an angelic aura. Deming was lost in her mesmerizing countenance. Her fluttering eyelashes, her s.h.i.+vering lips were very amusing to him. He subconsciously started fondling her cheeks with his back of the palm.
"Your expressions and the way you are reacting you my touch is giving me other hints, Little Cat. Tell me, have you really given up the feelings for me", his voice getting softer. He was clearly seducing her.
Lifen snapped open her eyes. Her eyes were full of fire, that could burn anything. "You are just like the other guy, Mr.w.a.n.g . What are you trying to do here. Be a loyal boyfriend at least. Why are you tarnis.h.i.+ng the word "love"?"
She remained calm under his grip. Her body has gave in to his seduction but her mind is not that weak. She always thinks with her heart but that doesn"t mean that she will let it get hurt again and again. She gathered all her strength to bring such fierceness in her eyes when her heart has gone weak.
"I feel pity for my heart. How can it fall for a person like you? I regret...oops sorry I pity Ms.Long, how can she be with you when your feelings are insincere for her", she continued.
Deming loosened his grip on her shoulders and dashed out the room.
Lifen heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank G.o.d, it worked". She gently patted her heart to ease her erratic heartbeat. At this moment, she received a call from Chang.
"Dear, where are you? I am waiting for you. Let"s have dinner together ", his voice was full of enthusiasm.
Lifen closed her eyes gently, "Sorry Chang. I can"t have the dinner with you today. You should rest. I am on my way home. I will come to visit you tomorrow".
"Okay! But I will be waiting for your visit", he said and hung up the call.
Lifen has agreed to be her girlfriend but she doesn"t know how to comply with it. She has always considered him as her friend, a good friend. How can she change his position in her heart?
She exited the room and soon hailed a cab to her way home. Her mind was still recalling Deming"s words.

"She was right? How can I get close to her?" he yelled and threw a porcelain vase on the floor. It got scattered into pieces.
He then walked to the mirror of the room. Intensely gazing at his mirror image he remember her angelic face s.h.i.+ning in the moonlight, her fluttering long eyelashes and her small soft lips. He remembered how close he was with her.
His hands were gently caressing her cheeks, he didn"t expected him to be like this, "How can a girl"s presence compel me to do things like this? I clearly have for Jie. I have longed for her for 10 years, how can it change just because of her presence. No, it"s not right".
He slammed his hand hard on the mirror and the gla.s.s got shattered piercing his knuckles. Blood oozed out his hand but there was no pain in his eyes. He wasn"t feeling any pain.
"Why my feelings for Jie are wavering in the presence of Lifen? Why her words and actions affect me this much", he screamed.
He reproached his heart, "I clearly got close to Lifen but it was all planned. But now why my feeling are turning out to be true. I have always love Jie. If my feelings for Jie is love then what am I feeling for Lifen? Is it my infatuation? I have to keep a distance from Lifen from now on. No, its just a guilt which I have been feeling for Lifen. I have done to bad to her heart that"s my heart is acting this way. I have to maintain a distance from her".
He took his phone and dialed a number, "There is a work for you", he ordered in a stern voice, "Keep a close eye on the young master of Yu industry. I need a daily report on him". With that he disconnected the call.
At this moment, the door of his room was flung open, it was Murphy. He was shocked to look at his condition. His hand was bleed but still he was oblivious to the pain.
He rushed to inside the room, pulled the drawer where the first aid kit was kept and then swiftly reached him. "What are you doing? Are you crazy? I know you care for Ms.Long but you can"t be like this. The doctors are working hard and soon they will get the right treatment for her. Don"t worry", Murphy said to console him. He thought it was because Deming was scared of losing Jie, but little did he know that it was all because of his little Lifen.

At some other side of the city, a phone was ringing. The old man walked towards his phone and soon a smile came to his lips, seeing the name displaying on his phone screen.
He quickly connected the call, "Grandson, so today you got the time to call this old man. Is it because you got a request from someone?" his lips covered with a teasing smile.
"I have called to only inform you that I will work on that report. Don"t worry you will soon get the exact reason for her illness", with that he disconnected the call leaving the Dr.Yang in a huge laughter.
Dr.Yang mumbled in his breath, "As always. But now I will soon see you my grandson. I know how much you like that girl".
