After a few seconds, a smile spread across her face, and her eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
"Liu wei!"
She faced the tall and suave man standing right in front of her. Although, he was dressed in an ordinary causal wear, he couldn't hide his aristo cratic temperament, strong jawline, beautiful face and that pair of deep phoenix like eyes.
"Lili" A familiar voice, deep and comforting greeted her. The sound stopped, tangled and died away.
In that instant, everything around them seemed to stop, including their heart beats.
At that moment, Xiao li's bodyguard showed up and gave a stern look, "Who are you? Do you want to hit young miss?"
Xiao li finally reacted when she saw that her bodyguard was angry, she immediately said, "He is a friend. He won't hurt me"
A friend?
That word sounded odd in her own ears. She couldn't believe that she called him her friend.
"Let's grab some coffee at the shop over there"
---
A waitress brought in a cup of coffee for Xiao li and Liu wei, then she left. Xiao li picked up the cup, moved it closer to her lips and took a sip.
After a moment of silence, that comforting voice once again sounded in her ear.
"It's been some months, how are you?"
Some months ago, when he cut off the wedding and left her in the church, he had a youthful charm. Back then, his words sounded like bomb and her heart shattered into million pieces.
She fell onto the ground in tears and begged him to come back.
Xiao li pressed her lips tightly together, her eyes moist. Before she could say anything, she was choked with emotion.
Liu wei kept his eyes on her, scrutinizing her face and eyes, careful not to let a single detail go.
Xiao li's eyes welled up and she stretched out her arm to grab his hand. Her voice was low and hoarsed, "Liu wei, I'm so sorry for betraying you. It was not my fault. I was planning on telling you before our wedding, but I was scared. I was scared that you might leave me"
Liu wei became serious and he looked intensely at Xiao li's petite face, "Lili, I've forgiven you. You know I was hurt; but it was wrong of me to just cut off the wedding"
Xiao li heard this and was stunned, "You are not mad at me?" she asked.
Liu wei shook his head, "I'm not angry with you anymore" he gaze upon her beautiful face and avoided talking about their past mistakes. He said, "I heard you are going to get married to Jingyi Wang"
"Yes, we are getting married soon" Xiao li smiled as she said this.
"Do you love him?"
A tint of red started to show from Xiao li's cheek to her ears. With a flushed face, she answered, "Yes, I love Jingyi Wang"
Liu wei heard this and his face fell. His malicious looking eyes gleamed with a contrasting combination of fire and ice.
Liu wei's expression turned solemn and cold, "Do you really love him? You know who Jingyi Wang is; he is ruthless and arrogant. He doesn't care about anybody except from himself"
"That's not true" Xiao li immediately retorted. The Jingyi Wang she knows is sweet and caring. She had never seen him being ruthless. "Why are you saying all of these?" Xiao li could not help, but ask.
Why was he saying all of this?
Liu wei could not believe that Xiao li would immediately side Jingyi Wang even though it's been a few months she'd stayed with him.
What surprised him was that she even defended him as if she'd been living with him for almost 20 years of her life.
He brushed every thing aside and smiled sweetly at her, "Xiao li, you have become fatter. It seems that Jingyi Wang is really taking care of you"
Xiao li head this and nodded her head, smiling. Liu wei lowered his head and gazed at her finger. The ring he gave her was no longer there.
Does that mean he was nothing to her now?
His heart felt empty.
He had never thought that one day, she would be for another man. He thought that after he cut off the wedding with her, she would come begging at his feet for him to come back.
But he was wrong.
She doesn't seemed to think about him anymore, or anything about their love.
"Liu wei, what are you thinking of?" Xiao li asked when she saw that he was in a deep thought.
Liu wei heard her voice and come back to reality. He shook his head and gave a bitter smile, "Just thinking about those days we used to be together"
The moment Xiao li heard this, her heart trembled; Her heart ached badly for him. She suddenly remembered his words and the anger she saw in his eyes that day; she trembled.
She had always wanted to meet him and ask for forgiveness, but now she has done it, she felt relieved.
She raised her head and smiling gently at Liu wei, "You are my first love and I can't forget that"
Gone were that days they do and share everything together, they protected each other like siblings. Gone were the days when they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Every single girl in the school was jealous of Xiao li then. They used to hold each other's hand everywhere they went.
A smile spread across Xiao li's lips, "Gone were the days..."
Liu wei heard this and raised his head in confusion. He doesn't understand what she meant.
After a long pause, Xiao li glanced at her wrist watch and said briefly, "Liu wei, I have to go now. We shall talk later" As she spoke, she stood up, prepared to leave.
Liu wei saw that she was prepared to leave and stood up also, "Let me drive you home" he said.
Xiao li glanced at him and smiled, "Liu wei, it's seems you are growing old. I have a car and a driver. You don't have to worry"
Liu wei nodded his head. He had clearly forgotten that she brought a car. He was already used to carrying her home everyday like they used to do in the past. He wished he could turn back time, but it was impossible.
After carrying her bag, Xiao li said politely, "Liu wei, thanks for your time today. I will see you later. Bye"
As she spoke, she turned to leave. At this very moment, Liu wei reached out his hand and grabbed her arm.
Xiao li froze immediately; his hand sent chills down her spine and she shuddered.
She turned around to face him with an eyebrow raised.
"Xiao li, can I get your phone number?"
