Chapter 286 - He Fell In Love
***********
CHAPTER 286
"Think whatever you must. Why am I not surprised that you would support him?" Yin Lifen asked with a smirk.
"It is not what I think. In as much as the affairs of Jia Huang affects me, I would not take sides. One thing I know which is certain is that he loves you."
"Do you call tricking the one you claim to love, love? I doubt that."
"Yin Lifen calm down."
"Oh, I am calm." Her voice raised a fraction as she said that. A clear proof that she was not calm but she did not care right now.
"I know. Yes you are calm. What my cousin did to you is no excuse. I am not supporting him. I understand that you must feel so heart broken and hate him. Yes you have all the right to do that but please hear him out."
"Hear him out? Can you hear yourself? What do you think he wants to say that I haven't heard or found out?"
"Not the entire truth."
"And what truth would that be?" Li Jing confronted him. This time she dropped the glass cup on the table in front of them and looked Kim Fan straight in the eyes. 'What more does he wants to say?"
"You did not give him a chance to explain and ran off."
"I did."
"How?" Yin Lifen suddenly became mute. "Yin lifen how? Tell me how you gave him a chance to explain himself."
"What more was there to explain? I accidentally saw a text from her and when I confronted him about it he agreed without denying it to me that he was engaged. Bloody hell! When was he going to tel me?"
The real truth was that Yin Lifen did not give room for any explanation and quickly packed her things then left as Jia Huang begged and pleaded with her not to leave him.
"That is not what I asked, Yin Lifen. He admitted but did you allow him explain?" Kim Fan asked her again.
"What more is there to explain, please?"
"A lot, Yin Lifen, a lot. He deserved a chance to explain himself."
"So that he can lie to me?"
"If he did not lie to you before, would he do it this time after you found out? My cousin wouldn't lie. Yes he made a mistake of not telling you but never once have I seen my cousin this way ever since he met you. Girl he is crazily in love with you."
"It doesn't change anything. The fact that he kept it secret from me is enough insult and pain alone. I fell in love with him."
"And so did he. Jia Huang fell for you. He shouldn't have but he did. And I shouldn't be saying this buy it is an arranged marriage and not one he wants but because he is the firstborn son, he cannot really do much."
"Not my problem. Then he should not bother with me and go marry his fiancé."
"That is a near impossible case right now."
'Why? How is that possible?" Yin Lifen asked with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
"Because, he fell in love. Jia Huang fell in love again after so long."
Yin Lifen did not want to believe what he had just said. She did not see how you would love someone and hurt the person this way by hiding such a secret away from the person.
"He agreed to the engagement because he did not think he would be able to fall in love again after his last break up but unfortunately he did when he met you. My cousin did fall in love."
"But…"
"Yes you may view him as a scumbag and al;l that but if there is one thing I know, it is that Jia Huang really loves you."
"Then what about his fiancé? What am I to him? A second wheel? A home wrecker? If he loves me he wouldn't put me in such a place."
"And I know he wouldn't. Kindly give him time to sort things out."
"There would be no need. No sorting whatsoever as I would not be accepting him. I no longer love him, Kim Fan. No more."
"Yin Lifen…" Kim Fan tried to protest but she wouldn't have it.
Raising her left hand in front of her face to silent him, Yin Lifen closed her eyes briefly. "Please, no more about this issue."
"Fine. I agree, no more. But I can see it in your eyes. You miss him. I saw the look of pain in your eyes when you saw him and Li Jing just now. You cannot deny or hide it. You long for him. So before you pass your judgement on him, give him a listening ear is all I can say, please."
She let out a soft sigh before speaking. "I would think about it."
"It is important that you do." Kim Fan stood up from his seat. He did not even know why he was helping his cousin and best friend this way?
It wasn't supposed to be his business as he too had his own personal life to contend with.
Nevertheless, seeing how frustrated Jia Huang had become due to a failed few weeks relationship, he felt the need to intervene and plead with her.
"Yin Lifen, please let us continue our tour. There is still so much left to see."
"And our drink?"
"Okay." He leaned down and reached for his own cup. In one gulp, Kim Fan downed everything in his cup and dropped it back on the table. "Already done. All that is left is for you to finish yours."
While waiting for her to drink, Kim Fan wore his own sandals as well and by the time he stood back up, she had still not yet drank it all.
Taking that as a challenge, Yin Lifen did what he did and she too downed all the content in her cup in one go.
A bright smile formed on his lips at her triumph. "Shall we?"
"Definitely." She bent down and wore her sandals before getting up to follow him.
