34 Liling, Pretty Girls arent naughty. (1/2)

Liling was feeling dizzy. She had been sitting for so long, though others were moving around and exchanging pleasantries, she didn't, since she knew only Richen and Xin Yong.

She didn't have enough tolerance on alcohol so she didn't take any.

Richen was with her too, they hadn't left yet, partially waiting for Xin Yong. Liling suddenly felt that someone had been staring at her, so she involuntarily turned, only to meet Liu Wei's gaze, he casually picked up his drink and took a sip from it, but never shifting his gaze from her.

Her eyes widened in shock, she immediately turned around and looked elsewhere.

'Why is he staring at me?, wait don't tell me he recognizes me!. No no, we met just once, and it's been months ago, there's no way he could recognize me!. Yes!, there's no way, he may just be wondering if I'm really the one, that's it. I'll just have to pretend I don't know him, hehe, so smart!'

With that Liling kept her gaze forward, not even looking sideways to prevent unintentionally glancing at him. She felt he was still looking at her, and even though she felt uneasy, she maintained her posture.

Picking up her untouched wine glass, she took a sip from it.

'Yuck!, this is so bittterrr!, how is everyone enjoying this?' she cursed internally but her face bore an entirely different expression.

From the outside it seemed as though she was not even bothered about anything in the world, but only her knew how wet the palms that held the glass were.

Liling thought of how to escape from that awkward situation, though the party was not yet over, she wasn't contributing anything at all. So she decided to retire to their hotel room.

”Richen, let's go back, I'm feeling very dizzy, Mm? ”

She pleaded in a cajoling manner while holding onto her arm.

Richen who had been seeking for an opportunity to meet with Liu Wei knew that if she followed Liling, she may never get to talk to him. She had wanted to turn down Liling immediately but then, if she turned down Liling, she would not leave and therefore she won't be able to talk to Liu Wei without him looking her stunning friend.

So on a second thought, she turned down the idea.

”Liling, you go up since you're feeling sleepy, Xin Yong's already in the room. I'll come up later, okay, don't worry about me” She urged her with a very warm smile.

Liling who couldn't suspect anything, smiled back and nodded. She swiftly stood up to leave.

”Liling.. ” Came the soft and warm voice from behind her.

'No!, he remembers.. . my name? no no... he can't possibly.. '

Richen who had heard him more than clearly turned to look at him, then at Liling.

'They knew each other? ' Her eyes flashed of envy mixed with defeat and she swallowed a very bitter saliva. 'So she had lost the battle even before it ever started?' With that she sadly sank back on her seat and watched the both of them.

Liling pretending to not hear him, she gently picked up her purse and made to leave.

”Liling, where are you off to?, the party isn't over yet”

'Now game's over.. '

Turning around, Liling let out a sweet smile, her dimples ever radiating.
