Chapter 313 - White Lilies (1/2)

Finally, the first-day tour has come to an end. Elizabeth was still busy mingling with her fans whilst the other cast prepares to head home.

As she was preparing to go, she bid everyone farewell. She panicky looked around for someone...

”Bro Ming.”

Huang Ming was about to head home and has totally forgotten about their promise with each other. ”Li Zi, what's up?”

”Bro Ming, have you forgotten?”

”Ah, Li Zi... I'm sorry, I totally forgot about what we talked about earlier.” Huang Ming embarrassedly said whilst scratching his head.

”Ha-ha, it's fine... Can you wait for me?”

”Sure, I'll wait outside.”

Elizabeth bid everyone farewell and informed Wang Ji of her plans. ”Bro Wang, you don't need to come tomorrow.”

”Alright, will you be fine tomorrow?”

”No worries, I'll be fine. I have to go, Bro Ming is waiting outside.”

Outside the building, Huang Ming was waiting for the girl next to his car. He was on his phone checking the latest news about him and the girl.

”General Ming, don't give up! The Princess will surely choose you.”

”Who do they think they are to steal the Goddess from Bro Ming? I'm so annoyed!!!”

Huang Ming lips slightly tilted upwards, seeing all the positive comments about him and the girl. He was really at a disadvantage when it comes to winning the girl's affection. But, it never bothers him, for he always believes that one's status does not define how much you love someone. The material things you showered someone can never bring them true happiness.

”Bro Ming, sorry to keep you waiting.” Elizabeth came running out of the building.

Huang Ming headed towards the girl and meet her halfway. He grabs her things and escorted her to his car. He then opened the car door for her to enter. ”Li Zi, where are we going?”

”To the market.”

Huang Ming was perplexed as to why they were going to the market. He went to the driver's seat and didn't ask the girl. 'I wonder why Li Zi wishes to go to the market?'

…

Jeipei Market

Both Huang Ming and Elizabeth wrapped themselves in scarves, masks, and hats. She grabbed hold of the man's hand and dragged him along causing Huang Ming to be startled by the girl's sudden action.

'What is she doing?' Huang Ming thought.

Huang Ming continued to keep everything to himself. He found it awkward how the girl was acting towards him. The way they roamed around the market as if they were a couple. His heart was leaping in joy every minute they spend time with each other. He always dreamt of doing something like this with her. 'Why is she suddenly doing this?'

Despite the joy he felt, he felt a little uneasy about the situation. As if they were spending their last moments together. 'Is she…' He smiled bitterly of the thought the girl has finally made her decision and it seems he's not a part of her life.

After they finished roaming around the market and Elizabeth was able to purchase all the things she wished to buy, she turned and face the man. ”Bro Ming, let's go home.”

”Okay.”

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the girl's apartment. Surprisingly, when they arrived stood outside her door was a man carrying a bouquet of flowers.

”Can I help you?” Elizabeth asked.

”Are you Miss Knightley?” The man asked.

Elizabeth turned paled when the man addressed her by her family name. She took a deep breath and thought 'Well, I was going to tell him the truth anyway, but it seems someone else got ahead of me.'

”Yes, how can I help you?” She asked.

”Here, this is for you.”

The man handed the flowers to her and left without a word.

”Bro Ming…” She turned to face the man who was not surprised by what just happened. ”I'm sorry.”

Huang Ming smiled and didn't know what to say. His heart was aching…

'What should I do? Should I…'

Before he could react, it dumbfounded him when he saw the tears rolling down the girl's face.

”Bro Ming, I'm so sorry for lying to you. You've been so kind to me, yet I played a fool of you. I planned to tell you but I didn't expect that man to show up. Bro Ming, I'm so sorry…”

Huang Ming's body moved on its own as he embraces the girl tightly. The words he wishes to express couldn't come out of his mouth. In the end, he ended up shutting his mouth and let his actions speak instead.

”Bro Ming, I know you already know who I am. But, you continue to keep my secret. Why? I mean…”

The two never shared any extreme romance in the movie since Elizabeth always does things her way. But this time, Huang Ming pushed the girl to face him and acted what should have happened in the movie. He forced his lips on the girl and kissed her passionately. ”Li Zi, I love you… I know you already have someone in your heart. But, I hope one day you see how much I love you too.”
