Chapter 200 - Assault (1/2)

After talking to his father, Yufan called Ling.

" Yufan is it you?" Ling asked.

" Ya it's me." Yufan said.

Ling gasped and said," Where the hell are you? Why didn't you call me earlier? You know how scared I was. I-"

" I am sorry baby. There was a sudden change in the plan so I had to fly to US. Everything happened so fast that I did not get time to inform you. I am sorry." Yufan said.

Ling sobbed for a while and said," I was scared I thought- I thought that I lost you."

Yufan's heart ached when he heard her sobs," Ling please don't cry. I am sorry. Please honey stop crying. I am okay wait I'll video call you."

" Wait." Ling said.

" What happened?" Yufan asked.

" Don't video call me tonight. I am not in a very good state." Ling said.

" Why?"

" My eyes are swollen and my hair is also messy. I cannot let you see me like this. What if I scare you away?"

Yufan chuckled and said," Silly. Why are you feeling shy? I am your boyfriend okay. It's my right to see my girlfriend in her most miserable state. And what scare away? I am not going anywhere okay. Even if you push me away from you, I'll hug you tight and never let you go."

Ling did not say anything. She wanted to tell him what Yutang had asked her to do but chose not to. She decided to talk to him once he comes back," Okay you go to the hotel and rest."

Yufan frowned and asked," Ling is something wrong?"

" No it's nothing." Ling said.

" Okay then I am hanging up. I'll call you after sometime. I love you." Yufan said.

Ling smiled and said," I love you too."

....

Next morning.

The first thing Xie Ming did early in the morning after getting up was to try calling Yufan again but as soon as she picked up her phone from the table, Li Singtan snatched it away and said," First freshen up and eat your breakfast after that you'll get your phone."

Xie Ming frowned and said," But I want to call Yufan."

" Father had called me early in the morning. He said that Yufan had called him yesterday. He is in US now. There was a sudden change in the agenda of the meeting so he had fly to US all of a sudden. So he did not get time to inform anyone. He did not call you yesterday because it was late. He will call you today." Li Singtan said before shoving her phone inside his pocket.

" Thank God." Xie Ming exclaimed.

Grabbing her hand, Li Singtan said," Lets go down and eat something."

" You don't have to go to office?" Xie Ming asked.

Li Singtan sighed and said," Yes I have to."

" Something important?" Xie Ming asked.

" I have an important meeting today. Why?" Li Singtan asked.

Scratching her head, Xie Ming said," I wanted to shop today. I wanted you to accompany me but it's fine. I'll take Anna or Yixi with me."

Li Singtan frowned and said," Why will you take them? I will accompany you. Just wait for me Okay. I'll pick you up after my meeting ends."

" If you are busy then it's fine. We can go some other day." Xie Ming said.

Li Singtan shook his head and said," Since you want to go today, we will go today itself."

Xie Ming sighed and said," Okay. Let's do something, I'll come to your office and then we can go together."

Li Singtan nodded his head and said," Okay."

.....

Downstairs.

When Li Singtan and Xie Ming came down, everyone was having their breakfast.

" Good morning everyone." Xie Ming said.
