Chapter 60 - I want you to find me. (1/2)
Jing Lihua looked away abashed at what had she just said. She had been so lost in the moment that she didn't realize what had slipped her tongue. She coughed and quickly said. ”I'm still married. Don't get your hopes up.”
Li Zhiqiang didn't say anything but Jing Lihua could feel his happiness lingering in the air. She went back to staring into the city not knowing what to say. She mentally slapped herself and decided not to let herself lose again.
”The city looks even better from the terrace of the sunset square apartments”
”It might. But we'll have no way to know. The place is off-limit to the public. It is the private territory of the Li family.”
”If you wish, I can take you there.”
”You can?” Jing Lihua stared at him. In response, he smiled.
Suddenly an idea struck Jing Lihua. ”Do you have any acquaintance with President Li?” The more Jing Lihua thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. ”Are you some distant relative of the prestigious Li family?” It explained why he was able to afford a penthouse at Sunset Square apartments. It also explained the reason he could easily get a room adjacent to her at such short notice. Maybe he had come here to accompany President Li to the fashion show.
Surname 'Li' was very common so Jing Lihua hadn't come up with this speculation before. But she also knew that the prestigious Li family of Hong Kong didn't have any relatives. It was only the parents, grandparents and the Li brothers. Maybe he was an illegitimate who was kept hidden from the world. Jing Lihua didn't ask the question in fear that she might hurt his feelings.
”Maybe. Maybe not.”
”You like to keep yourself a mystery, don't you?” Jing Lihua felt like the silent, cold man was slowly opening up in front of her.
”Maybe I want you to find out for yourself who I am.”
”I will.”
...
When Jing Lihua returned to the Hall, the fashion show was already done. The most successful role was played by Zhao Liying. After their scheme failed, for some reason, Su Lanfen lost her confidence. And confidence is everything in modeling.
