Chapter 146 - She is being concerned about him. (1/2)

”Lifen, wait. We need to talk. You can't ignore me like that everytime”, with that he pulled her slightly in front of him.

Lifen instantly flinched from his grip, making her expression as if she was in front of some stranger.

It was somewhat painful for Deming but until she was ready to talk to him it won't be any problem. So she gave a soft smile to her weird behaviour.

”Is there anything that is left to talk between us, Mr.Wang? I guess there isn't...I have already made myself clear long before. We are just a known strangers, that's it. And one shouldn't be bothered with strangers, they should just ignore them and live their lives peacefully ”, she said as she looked curiously at his face, trying to know something clearly.

She has ignored him twice within last 24 hours but he is still smiling. Wasn't he getting irritated or furious because of her actions? The Deming she knew was quite impatient when things came to him and would get instantly furious if thing didn't go according to his will. Then why is so gentle to her?

His gentleness is only melting the icy wall around her heart, which took so much of her efforts and time to harden against him. His gentle gaze and that soft smile was doing nothing good to her but only give her some second thoughts on her previous decisions.

”How are you? It's been two years...”, he wanted to know everything that happened in these two years which was like twenty lonely decades to him. He wanted to know, was she also feeling lonely similar like him.

But before he could even complete his question, Lifen cut his words off in the middle, ”I have been perfectly fine. This two years was more or less like heaven to me. I loved the people around me, and WASN'T AT ALL ALONE”.

She then paused for only add one last thing to her words, ”But I am a bit confused, Mr.Wang? Why do a 'person like you' would ask a 'stranger like me' something related to the time I spent?”

Deming let out a low chuckle at her words, which clearly can be labelled at a fake forced one. ”Really? You brain is really being highly influenced by the people you are surrounded with. You have perfectly learned how to clean bold someone by your few words. Impressive! Very Impressive!”, he gently clapped his hands as if giving her a compliment.

”But I think I am not that knowledgeable to clearly understand your high words. Please enlighten me on your phrases, 'someone like me' and 'stranger like you'”, he said as he take a strong step making himself a little closer to her and squinting his eyes on her.

”Okay, I don't make it long because I am getting a bit late at my work. I am not as rich as you and my boss will surely fire me, if I get late. So better leave me alone after that”, she said as she beautifully recreated the previous gap between them.

”By 'someone like you', I mean a person as good as you who has a lovely and caring fiancee and by 'stranger like me', Ummmmm I think you know that clearly well because I have already made myself clear before”, she said with a wide teasing smile on her lips.
