Chapter 282 - Better Morning

CHAPTER 282
At first, neither of them would have agreed so easily to the fact that they loved each other but it was like they had known for quite some time and what made it worse was that when it was known who he really was and his engagement, it became harder.
It was more like her heart, knowing fully well that she had lost him, now wanted him the most and longed for him, causing it to ache badly and that was when it dawned on her dearly that she loved him.
Unlike Yin Lifen’s own, Jia Huang felt drawn to her right from day one. Something just told him that she was the one he wanted. She was the girl he dreamt of but if only he could do something about his engagement, then he could have her.
"Look at her beautiful she looks when she smiles. It makes my heart flutter whenever she is like this. It is like a calming breeze to the raging storm in my heart."
"I never knew my friend could be such a poet," Kim Fan said, ruining the moment for Jia Huang.
"Seriously?" Immediately the smile on his face vanished.
"Hahaha..." Kim Fan let out a small laugh that somehow managed to catch the attention of the two ladies they were looking at.
Both Li Jing and Yin Lifen looked at their side at the same time and saw Jia Huang looking at them with Kim Fan smiling at his friend.

Of course, Yin Lifen wasn’t in the mood and instantly her smiling mood changed to a tired and bored one. Li Jing noticed it but said nothing and returned his wave.
They continued eating before leaving the guys alone to go and explore some parts of the magnificent Westville hotel.
By the next day, Yin Lifen woke up feeling good and she knew just why but refused to grant her heart that luxury.
The second day was for a proper tour of the hotel. So immediately after breakfast, they waited a few minutes for their food to digest before beginning their tour.
This time Li Jing brought her small digital camera her grandfather bought for her before she embarked on the trip.
In as much as he wanted her to enjoy herself and keep memories, he wanted her not to forget the main reason why she was there and take pictures of important things to save herself the stress of describing when it was time to brief him on their findings.
All four of them met at the garden and talked briefly about the task at hand.
"Good morning beauties," Kim Fan greeted both ladies. He had expected that both of them would get angry at his way and manner of greeting them but to his dismay, they didn’t and accepted his greeting wholeheartedly.
"Good morning," Yin Lifen spoke up first.
"Morning, how was your night?" Li Jing replied as well.
"All good. Yours?" Kim Fan asked them calmly with his hands in his short pocket.
Both guys were dressed simply, wearing a pair of designers coloured shorts and a pair of white-collared T-shirts.
Were Kim Fan’s T-shirt had a big yellow stripe crossing his chest, Jia Huang’s T-shirt had a blue stripe crossing his chest in a diagonal design.
They looked like twins with their pair of matching glasses. If not for the fact that Li Jing had met Ye Cheng and Tang Zixin, she would have called them the most handsome male she had ever seen but then again, that was in this city and not elsewhere.
They had the same colour of hair and eyes but different facial structures. It was even on further talk with Jia Huang later, that Li Jing found out the two guys were distant cousins.
"Hello," Li Jing waved at Jia Huang. She did not want him feeling sad or something about not being part of their conversation.
But looking back they all started on the wrong foot yesterday. Irrespective of what may have occurred in the past, they should have better introduced themselves.
Humans would be humans. To err is human and to forgive is divine.
"Hi. My apologies for not better introducing myself properly yesterday," Jia Huang beat her to it and Li Jing smiled.
She could see why Yin Lifen liked him. He was easy to roll with and it was like he knew what she was thinking of even before she made mention of it.
"No worries. I also was at fault. My name is Li Jing, nice to meet you," she introduced herself and stretched forth her hand for a handshake.

"Yes, I hope so, if she gives me a chance." He cast a glance over at Yin Lifen before smiling at Li Jing.
"I cannot say as I am not her, but I believe you can try. Isn’t that right, Yin Lifen?"
"Maybe." That was the first time she spoke since he got involved in their conversation and it wasn’t a favourable word or reply.
"Hey, Ava," Jia Huan greeted.
"Call me Yin Lifen, please." Her face wasn’t smiling as she spoke. All she could think of or say was that.
"But I like Ava," Jia Huang protested, giving her a babyish puppy face.
"You lost the right to calling me that," Yin LIfen retorted.
Ouchie!
"I hope I can gain the right back."
"Don’t push it. Anyways, please do not tell me we are here to do this... I mean introduction." She twirled her finger at them, further buttressing her point.
"As a matter of fact my dear, yes and no." Li Jing’s smile reached her eyes as she spoke. She was ready to help her friend find what her heart really wanted, one way or the other.
