Chapter 39 - Handsome Than Your So-called RiChapter CEO Crush
CHAPTER 39
Li Jing arched her brows at her friend and shook her head. A small smile crept up her face as she watched Yin Lifen's display.
"Put your hands down, people are staring," Li Jing chided her.
"Until when would you learn that no matter what you do or how you hide, people would still stare and talk? Let them talk, let them stare. It is their eyes and mouth and time, not yours."
Li Jing rolled her eyes at her. This friend of hers would never change.
"Now, back to the question. I want to know your place."
'Like seriously! Can't you forget a topic for once?' Li Jing thought. 'Phew, looks like there is no escaping her now.'
She knew her friend all too well, once she had her heart and mind on finding something out, she never fails.
Rather than make herself go through the question and nagging time of Yin Lifen to get the answer that would still come out after her suffering, she decided to come clean.
Unlike Luo Jinhai, Yin Lifen was very persistent and understanding. That was why Li Jing knew she would take it better than Luo Jinhai ever would.
"I am sorry, you can't. Not today at least."
"Okay, tomorrow then?"
"Not tomorrow as well."
"Next tomorrow?"
"Nope," Li Jing replied shaking her head.
Yin Lifen narrowed her eyes further at her friend and asked again. "The day after?"
"Not that as well."
"Come on Li Jing, when?"
"I do not know, but definitely anytime soon."
'Why is she behaving like a girl who has a man at home and does not want her mother to come to visit her and catch her red-handed?' Yin Lifen thought.
If she hadn't known better, she would have thought that was the case, but this was Li Jing, the friend who has only let a guy kissed her and nothing more.
'Wait a second. Why rule out that option? Every bird grows and learns how to fly.' At her thought, Yin Lifen furrowed her brows and leaned in close to Li Jing.
"Li Jing, what are you hiding from me? Spill, I know you all too well. You are definitely hiding something."
"I… umm~"
"Okay, why don't I make it easy for you? Li Jing, do you have a man in your house?"
Li Jing's eyes shot open at her friend's rightful guess. 'Damn, how can she just guess and guess it right?' Li Jing thought.
"I knew it. You do have a man in your h…" Before she could finish her statement, Li Jing quickly covered her mouth with her hands to prevent her from shouting and telling the whole restaurant.
Yin Lifen rolled her eyes at her friend. Li Jing knew if she had wanted, she could easily just bite down on her hand and free herself but she didn't.
Rather it was clear mischief that displayed in her eyes.
Li Jing responded with her eyes, telling her to beat her voice down silently. After some seconds, Yin Lifen agreed and Li Jing slowly removed her hand. She wasn't too trusting of her friend's behaviour.
They both leaned back on their seat with Li Jing's head lowered a bit.
"How did you know?" Her small voice broke out in a low whisper that Yin Lifen had to strain her ears to hear her clearly.
"Why wouldn't I? You gave yourself away. Tell me, is he handsome?" Yin Lifen asked out of the blue, inching closer to the table so she could hear Li Jing clearly.
Li Jing nodded her head at her, not being able to voice out the word. "Good, good. It is good. I do not want you wasting your time crying over your heartbreak, but wow baby you move quickly."
Even though she knew it was fast, she did not want to kill Li Jing's hope so she replied that way.
A big part of her wanted to scrutinize the new guy and see if he was fit for her baby, but then she decided to trust her. Not that her choice in men had been good before, but for now she was happy.
Li Jing on the other hand waned to clarify her thoughts but then this seemed better to prevent her from asking too many questions.
"Describe him. How handsome is he? Is he more handsome than Duan Tian?"
"Yes, very. Duan Tian doesn't even compare," she blurted out of nowhere. Realizing her words, she clamped her lips shut and mentally face palmed herself.
"Relax. I like this side of you. Be free in expressing how you feel. Since he is more handsome, can you give me details… like compare him with the most handsome guy we know."
'Hmm, most handsome guy… Ah! I got it.' Li Jing thought as an option popped into her head.
"He is even more handsome than your so-called rich CEO crush, Ye Cheng," Li Jing boasted.
