Chapter 186 - Outing
Both Li Jing and Yin Lifen spent their day visiting new places and trying out new restaurants. It was like a continuation from the fun Li Jing had with Ye Cheng and Christmas morning.
By the time it was getting dark, Li Jing opted for them to go home and call it a day but Yin Lifen forbade her and told her they should go watch a movie.
After the movie, Yin Lifen wanted to try on a swing in one of the parks but Li Jing disagreed. Everything seemed suspicious to her. If she had not known, she would have thought that Yin Lifen did not want her to go home,
"Fen Fen, stop!" Li Jing placed her hands on her waist and stood her ground. She was already tired but he friend wanted more adventurer. Something definitely was not sitting right and she knew it.
Ever since afternoon when they went to have lunch, Yin Lifen had been acting strange.
At first she said she wasn’t so fine and needed rest but it was a different situation as now what she was the one feeling chirpy and happy to visit different places.
"Li Jing, come on. Don’t you want to try out the fiery wheel with me? You know it would be perfect. Let us have this fun."
"But I am tired," Li Jing argued with her.
"I know, just this one more and that would be all. Besides, you know once you resume work, I won’t be seeing you as much. Use this to make up for all the time I have missed, please." Yin Lifen blinked her eyes and made a puppy cute pleading face at her friend.
She knew when she gave Li Jing that face there was absolutely nothing she could do to refuse her. Finally Li Jing succumbed to her wish and they went to ride the fiery wheel.
"Now, it is time to go."
"Let us get cotton candy first."
"What! That is like at the other end of the park, Yin Lifen. No I can’t."
"Come on, I am buying."
"I do not care. I am not going." Li Jing folded her hands underneath her boobs as she gave Yin Lifen a stern look. "Spill, Yin Lifen. What’s up?"
"Nothing. Why are you making me giving you a treat suspicious?"
"Because you are acting suspiciously. It is either you tell me or I leave and go home."
"No, don’t. I was thinking of you having sleepover at my place," Yin Lifen suggested and that had only made Li Jing’s mouth open.
"Fen Fen!"
"Nothing. I just miss you so very much."
Li Jing was done trying to get her to say what she was up to. "You have been taking a sneak peak on your phone since noon time. Something obviously is up."
Hearing her make mention of her phone, Yin Lifen quickly kept her phone in her trouser pocket and raised her hands up for Li Jing to see.
"Sigh, since this is how you want it to be, I am going home without you."
"Okay, okay. I would take you home. Chill out."
Together both ladies headed for Yin Lifen’s car in silence. Something was on her friend’s mind and it was either she was trying to distract herself by wanting Li Jing to be with her or she was distracting the latter from something else.
Irrespective of which one was true... she was beat and needed a good rest.
The moment they got to her house, Li Jing was faced with a scene she never would have expected to happen.
A lot of rioters laid wait outside her house, with placards shouting and yelling and cursing.
"What in the heaven’s name is going on?" Li Jing asked the moment the car stopped moving. There was nothing the security men could do as things were now getting out of hand.
"Bring that wench out! How dare she try and sabotage our Ye Cheng!"
"Come out you witch! Seductress!"
"She is not worthy of being close to our Ye Cheng!"
"Li Jing!"
Instinctively, Li Jing turned her head to the side to look at her friend. She was expecting to see that Yin Lifen would be troubled because of what was going on but the look on her friend’s face did not show any such thing.
Rather her eyes were narrowed in on the crowd and a deep frown marred her beautiful face.
"You knew." Yin Lifen did not know how to answer that.
Was it a question or it was a statement? Either way, it was as it was.
"This was why you did not want me coming home, right?"
No answer.
She did not need her to speak actually, her silence already did the needful.
Li Jing had left her phone at home in a hurry to go downstairs and that was why she was totally oblivious to the happenings around but Yin Lifen had hers on her and saw the news first.
She was pissed off when she saw it and knew that Li Jing would be mega disappointed and hurt when she did as well. It was why she did her best to distract her.
"What scandal exactly is on social media, Yin Lifen? That was why your eyes couldn’t leave your phone right?" Li Jing questioned again but she did not get any useful answer still.
Li Jing closed her eyes for a brief moment and when she opened it, she had a different look on. It was something dangerous, speaking of an untold anger Yin Lifen knew nothing of.
"Answer me, Lifen. Why didn’t you tell me? Do I look that weak to you, Huh?"
"Li Jing, I..."
"Save it. I am coming down."
A dark glint flashed in Yin Lifen’s eyes and her once sorry face turned cold.
CLICK!
The doors shut close with the central lock, caging Li Jing in. Li Jing looked at her friend, her eyes almost mirrored the same look she had. "Lifen!"
"I’m sorry baby, but you cannot go down."
