Chapter 279 - Accidental Meeting 1
"So you said and it has just been barely two weeks, you already are in love with someone who is not your betrothed," Kim Fan reminded his friend.
"Sigh! You know it just happened. It wasn’t like it was planned, Kim Fan."
"Yeah, I know. But what are you going to do seeing as your heart is with another?" Kim Fan asked.
His friend did not know what to do or say to that question. He was equally having a tough time figuring things out.
After some seconds he raised his eyes and looked at his friend. "Honestly speaking, I do not know. But I guess she made it quite easy and ran away."
"What if she didn’t run away? Or better still, what if you saw her again? What would you do, considering you still obviously love her?"
"Kim Fan I do not know exactly but one thing is for sure. I would not let her go away again. I would not lose her for the second time."
"And your betrothed? You want the woman you love to be your mistress, is that it?"
"Hell no, Kim Fan. No way. I love her. I just, I guess when I get to that road I would cross it. For now, I would let my head calm down while my heart heals. If heavens so much love me, then they would bring her my way again."
"And if they do not?"
"Then I would let fate be."
"Seize your destiny, young man. It is in your hands not the heavens," Kim Fan advised.
"What do you suggest I do? Search for her?"
"You said so yourself. My friend, all I can tell you is that love is hard to find and if you are so much sure that what you feel for this mysterious girl is really love, then find her and hold it strong."
"Thanks, man. I do love her."
"Welcome, Jia Huang. Now, get ready for the best time of your life my friend."
"Same goes for you, Kim Fan."
Both men placed a hand on the other person’s shoulder and waited for the elevator to stop.
Immediately that happened, they smiled at each other and put their foot out of the elevator at the same time without looking at where they were going.
Just as they were about to take the second step out, both of them froze in place by the angelic sight in front of them.
"Li Jing!"
"Kim Fan!"
"Jia Aiden Huang!"
"Ava!"

All four of them remained still in place with eyes wide open as their eyes finally darted between each other after some seconds.
"You know her?"
"You know him?"
Li Jing and Kim Fan asked their two stunned friends whose faces looked like they had just seen a ghost.
They did not get any response from the two friends but the silence and shock and heavy breathing gave them away and as quickly as possible, Li Jing understood.
Never once had she seen her friend ever look so shocked and stunned like that. But now, she did see it and it was a wonder to her.
Yes, she was once in love with Duan Tian but she did not think at any point in time she acted this way or with Ye Cheng for that matter.
<Author: Technically, you are spellbound anytime he is around.>
<Li Jing: Really? No way. Nah-huh.>
<Author: Do too... You look so carried away girl, so trust me, this you are seeing on your friend is you when you see your man crush.>
<Li Jing: Stop it, you are making me blush.>
<Author: *Rolls eyes*>
<Li Jing: Now back to the story.>
It took a good two minutes before they came back to their senses after their long silent talk or battle whichever one it was.
While one was shocked and joyed to see the other, the other person was not so joyed, rather she was angry.
"Ava."
"Ava?" Li Jing was shocked to hear him refer to her like that.
"That is my English name, Li Jing."
Yin Lifen informed her friend who was now shocked more than ever. Li Jing had known Yin Lifen for as long as she could recall, never once had she made mention of her English name if she had one anyway to her.
But here she was standing with a stranger and from the looks of it, the very stranger who she barely knew for how many days and broke her heart, he knew her name.
Wow! What a world.
"I am sorry not to have told you, Li Jing," Yin Lifen apologized when she saw how her friend looked so surprised.
"Just wow! That is how much you value our friendship uh."
"No, Li Jing, it is not like that."
"Kindly explain how it is, please."
’Not now, okay."
Li Jing wanted to fight back with her words but she could see that Yin Lifen was having a hard time trying to control her emotions. She could see the pain in her eyes and she knew it was a bad time to add to her sorrow and guilt.
"Fine. But you have a lot of explaining to do when we get back."
"I will." Yin Lifen turned her gaze to the guy in front of her and turned it away again. "What are you doing here?"
"I can say the same thing to you, Ava. What are you doing here? Why did you run away? You intentionally told me your English name so I could not look for you, right?"
"It doesn’t matter now, does it? You are betrothed so nothing can happen between us."
’Ava, please." At the same time, he moved and held her by the right arm.
"Let me go, Aiden. Let me go. Do not make this any harder. I cannot believe you or trust you again after what you did."
"I can explain. It wasn’t as it was."
"What wasn’t, Aiden? What wasn’t as it was? Do you call playing with my feelings not as it was or do you call hiding your betrothal just so you could get into my pants not as it was?"
