CHAPTER 297

"Okay, let me help you. What do you want to look like?" Yin Lifen asked and walked up to where she was by her closet.

"Simple, yet stunning."

"Are you trying to impress him or Ye Cheng?" Yin Lifen teased.

"Fen Fen," Li Jing pouted at her friend before smiling shyly at her. "Both."

"Naughty girl, your boy crush isn't here for you to impress."

"I can always take a picture of me on my outfit, heheee."

"Sigh, and here I was thinking you have matured. You still are my baby."

"Yes, momma… Hahaha…" Both ladies fell into an uproar of laughter and only stopped when Li Jing's phone started ringing. "Oh, pardon." She quickly went to pick it up and answered her call.

"Hello, Zixin." Her soft melodious voice called out his name with ease. To Tang Zixin it felt like they were closer to each other than this and that had made his heart fill light.

He wished he could hear her call him that more often but even he himself knew that would be a hard nut to crack.

But judging from the tone of her voice, he knew she was laughing a while ago and that was why she called him by his name only.

"Hello Jing, how are you?"

"I am fine. And you?"

"Great."

"Nice, Do not tell me you are already here to pick me up." As she said this, she turned to look at Yin Lifen, silently begging her friend to assist her in picking out an outfit quickly.

"Got it," Yin Lifen whispered back.

"Not yet dear. Umm Li Jing," Tang Zixin called out in a low tone.

"Yes?" She knew something was wrong from the way his voice suddenly became low and that had bothered her. "Tang Zixin, is anything the matter?"

"Nothing serious Li Jing."

"Are you sure? You can tell me, perhaps I can be of help."

On hearing this, Yin Lifen's smile dwindled. She knew it was nothing to be happy about. Something was wrong and judging from her friend's no longer smiling face, she knew it was as it is.

"Really, Li Jing. You do not have to bother yourself much with it. I am calling to apologize to you."

"No need Tang Zixin. If it is very important, relax I would understand."

"Thank you, dear. I do not want to do this over the phone but I would come and see you on my way to the airport."

"Oh, it is pretty serious, right? Talk to me, Zixin, tell me. What is wrong?"

"There have been some problems at our company's branch in the states. I need to hurry over and tend to things. I am sorry I have to stand you up today. I was really looking forward to spending some time with you."

"I understand. I would not even want you to choose me over your business. We can always reschedule some other time."

"Thank you for being understanding but know that you are as important as my work, Li Jing. I am not choosing…"

"No need to say things like that," Li Jing interjected. "In actual truth, even if you were to be with me and you got that call, you would not be able to enjoy yourself as your mind would be troubled. It is normal, so think less about it."

"Thank you, truly speaking, thanks."

"It's okay. Anyways, I would be home, so call me when you arrive, alright?"

"Okay, thank you. See you later," Tang Zixin appreciated her and then ended the call.

He was happy she was understanding but it still hurt him that he has to miss the day just to fly back to the states as quickly as possible.

There weren't that many people he could trust so, he mostly did some things himself and this was a major issue.

"Canceled?"

Li Jing turned over to her friend and gave her a tight-lipped smile. "Yeah, canceled."

"I guess nature did not want it to happen."

"But not by making something bad to happen to his company. Tang Zixin has worked so hard. I would hate to see anything terrible happening. I hope and wish he can fix things up."

"He would. He did not run the business all these years by himself for nothing. Have faith."

"Yeah, I do."

"Now, umm let us do something together. How about watching a film to get your mind off things?" Yin Lifen suggested.

"Sure."

About an hour later, Tang Zixin arrived at the Lin Mansion and was directed to where he would wait for Li Jing.

Within two minutes, Li Jing was already downstairs to welcome him.

The moment her eyes landed on him, a small smile appeared on her lips. It was rare seeing him dress so freely and casually.

The Tang Zixin she knew was always wearing a tux, six pieces suits, and all that. He was always formally dressed and ready for any occasion and now today was the first time seeing him this way.

She was impressed, he looked sporty, yet guyish and equally handsome.

"Hey." She rounded the corner to stand in front of him.

"Hey." Upon seeing her, his lips curved up into a brilliant smile.

She looked simple yet still stunning, just as she had asked Yin Lifen that she wanted to look.

She wore a simple short fled white gown that stopped a little bit below her thighs with a pair of flats to go with it.

"You look beautiful."

"So do you. First time I am seeing you on normal clothes."

"Haha… I decided to try something else today. You like?"

"Yeah, you should try it more often."

"Then would you be able to go out with me more often?"

Li Jing utterly became speechless with what he said. "I…"

"No need to answer that, I was just pulling your legs."

"Oh… I thought that…"

"Relax," Tang Zixin interjected her. "I love to see you smile and sometimes when you look a bit confused and speechless. It is priceless." Li Jing did not know what to say to that statement and just smiled at his compliment.
