"Brother Ming, so are you in love with your personal a.s.sistant whom we have met at the restaurant that day", Jie asked in between her sobs.
Deming didn"t answered her question rather remained silence. Jie gave a self mocking chuckle, "So she is the one. I guess it all happened when I was lying here half dead. Did she seduce you Brother Ming?" She was enraged now and was no longer able to control her words.
"Jie, there is nothing like that. It was me who have done wrong to her. She...", he again tried to explain to her but wasn"t successful because he was cut in the midst of his statement.
"Oh! So you are trying to defend her. If she didn"t do anything wrong then am I, the wrong one here? I have only loved you and even you were good to me after we met. Wasn"t she the third wheel in the whole scenario? She seduced you and now you are determined to leave me. She is just a s.l.u.tty bi*ch", Jie cursed.
"Enough Jie, I know I have hurt your heart but that"s me. You don"t have to curse her. And how can you use such words for anyone ", he almost lost his patience when seen her saying those foul words for Lifen. He have already expected the foul words coming from her but he didn"t ever thought that it will be for Lifen.
Something that surprised him more was that his tolerance. He can bet that if Jie had bad mouthed him, he would have accepted it. But as it was for Lifen, he wanted to gag her mouth shut and if it wasn"t her saying those words and in place of her if there was someone else then he would have ripped his or her mouth.
Realising that her words for Lifen had enraged Deming that bad, her expression turned even more aggressive. Jie lifted herself up and said angrily, "You said that you won"t decline our engagement as far as I don"t back out. That"s okay. I won"t back out. I will get engaged to you, no matter what. I won"t let everything get s.n.a.t.c.hed away from me like this".
Deming has already lost all his hopes after after hearing Lifen words, so he hadn"t expected much as he had already promised her to go on with the plans of engagement until he gets any hint that she still loves him. So here he won"t deny his words.
Deming nodded his head as he said, "Okay, as you say. Let"s get engaged, I won"t decline but do note that for you I can only care because I have promised you in the past. I heart will only belong to her and I won"t ever marry you. Even we get engaged, it can be break off at any moment. Because I am planning to pursue her heart all again without stopping. So don"t regret your decision today".
He then turned on his heels and left the room without giving any further glance to her. Looking him leave giving an cold look, Jie gritted her teeth hard and clenched her fist so hard that her fingernails dug into her palm.
She lunged forward towards the dressing table and with one single attempt everything on the table scattered on the floor with a swoosh, "Bi*ch...wait for the engagement day. I won"t be easy to you. You will regret crossing your paths with Brother Ming. After our engagement, I will make him forget you. Just wait, you won"t be successful in your cheap plans".

The black Maybach was rustling on the streets as if killing the time. Inside he was clutching the steering wheel hard while her cold icy face was flas.h.i.+ng in his mind again and again.
After driving for quite some time, the car got stopped in front of Ring Apartment. It wasn"t any luxurious apartment of the city but it was none less in charm.
He parked his car and went to the C-wing, 9th floor. He ringed the door bell in desperation as if it can help him lower the pain in his heart.
Hearing the continuous ringing of the doorbell, Murphy hurriedly opened the door with his half shut eyes, "Is the apartment on fire? "
He thought that there was some emergency that"s why someone is ringing the doorbell that abnormally, he didn"t realise Deming standing in front of him.
When he didn"t got any response, he slowly opened his eyes to see clearly, "Boss?"
"Uncle!"
"Oh! Deming. Come inside", he realized that he was here not as his boss but as the little boy, whom he had always guide. He gestured him to come inside and shut the door behind him.
He can feel that nothing went good with Deming and that"s the reason he is so depressed. They sat on the sofa. Murphy brought a gla.s.s of warm water, "Drink this, you will feel better".
Deming took the gla.s.s, and drank everything in one go, "Uncle, I don"t think I can mend anything now. I have lost everything. She doesn"t love me anymore and has comfortably moved on in her life. She has clearly stated that she doesn"t love me or care for me. I have lost her".
"So are you giving up on her just like that, because she asked so", Murphy asked back. He know Lifen, she still have him in her heart. No matter what she says but he can say that she has loved Deming with her all. And if a girl ever loves a person like that, then he will be the only person that will always in her heart, no one else can replace him.
Deming ignored his question and again gave another piece of information, "She asked me to go as per our plan of engagement. She wants me to get engaged with Jie. She even said that she won"t ever trust me again. I have lost her trust, her love and even her. I have lost my everything ".
"So are you going to give up on her or not?"
He didn"t answer his question and kept his head down. Murphy didn"t know what was going in his head as he can"t see his expression but one thing that he was sure about him after knowing him all these years is that he won"t ever give up. He wasn"t that type to give up easily especially when it came to his first and only love of his life.
