Ignored By A Certain Someone

Zhen Wei couldn't help but look back and think things thoroughly in her mind. From the day she came home from Japan, she had been experiencing a lot of twists and turns in her life. The day she had met Li Shen at the hotel up till today. Her normal daily living had become a lot busy lately. Zhen Wei can't still fathom the fact that Li Shen had asked her to be his wife. She wasn't really complaining but the thing is, why out of all women why would Li Shen pick her? She tried to think about Li Shen and can hardly find anything negative against him. He's good looking, rich, and a doctor! Well, except for one thing, his eyes.

'He must be blind!' She thought.

Li Shen might be giving her a lot of surprises but he was still nice to her. He might be shameless but he treated her well. Although he made her fall to his various schemes, he still helped her in taking care of his grandmother. She had heard everything from Zhen Xiu Ying the day Li Shen and her went to the hospital she was in.

Zhen Xiu Ying told Zhen Wei how Li Shen was an excellent doctor, earning him brownie points. Li Shen was praised heavily in front of Zhen Wei making him grin hearing such praises coming from his patient.

She found out that Li Shen was a doctor and he had been working at the hospital for a while already. Other than that, she was clueless about Li Shen's background. Although she can guess that he would be coming from a well off family judging from what she personally saw and experienced being with him.

Although she finds herself speechless most of the time whenever he's around.

The next day, Zhen Wei woke up early and decided to go and treat herself. It was her day off and she had been visiting her grandmother frequently to take care of her, this time Zhen Xiu Ying urged her to spend time for herself on her free day to relieve herself. She wore a pair of t-shirt and ripped jeans and paired it with sneakers. Applied a bit of powder and lipstick and she was good to go. Grabbing her tote bag from her bed she went off to go to the mall.

Meanwhile, Li Shen was busy in his office reading some documents and signing some paperwork that needed his approval. His eyes flew towards the door when Liu Feng came barging in his office. He had a wide smile plastered on his face and seated himself on the sofa. He laid back placing his arms on either side on top of the backrest and crossed his legs in a leisurely manner.

A few minutes later the office secretary came in bringing some refreshments and placing it on the table before retreating quietly.

Li Shen paid no heed and buried himself on his work once again while Liu Feng started on munching on some snacks while busy texting someone on his phone on the other hand.

Knowing Li Shen will be showing himself on work at their company and not in the hospital, Liu Feng came in late for work. 'At last, I can finally relax!' He thought to himself.

It was always like this inside Li Shen's office whenever he's around. He tends to handle everything on his own that's why Liu Feng doesn't have anything left for himself to manage. Although every time Li Shen is out to work at the hospital, it will be the other way around.

Liu Feng's face that was brimming with happiness earlier turned sour. He was pestering Tang Yiyi since early in the morning. He sent her a handful of good morning messages. When he was finally floating on cloud nine when she replied 'morning' on his texts, his face contorted in a frown after waiting for two hours already for her reply ever since he saw the typing icon on the other party. He felt he was being cheated when the typing icon disappeared and was replaced with a thumbs-up emoji.

"Can she even reply properly?!" Liu Feng cried but lacked tears to shed.

He began to type another set of texts, flooding their conversation with a bunch of texts.

'What's with that???'

'Yuhooo!'

'Ya! Tang Yiyi!'

'Let's eat dinner later, my treat!!!'

Hours passed and it was already lunchtime but to no avail, Liu Feng still hasn't gotten a reply from his offer. He was already sulking from his seat when Li Shen finally stood up and grabbed his coat from the rack along with his phone. Liu Feng didn't notice it earlier but Li Shen was busy typing on his phone for a moment. He asked Zhen Wei regarding her whereabouts and asked her to wait for him because he'll be treating her to lunch. He didn't wait for her reply and just quickly finished his remaining work and quickly readied himself to go.

"I'll be going now, I have something important to go. I'll leave the rest to you."

He did not wait for Liu Feng to retort and just rushed off. Liu Feng didn't even have time to react when Li Shen disappeared in the next second, his jaw dropped at what happened.

"Why is everyone so unfair!"

Liu Feng let out a sigh as he called the secretary once again, this time using the landline that was placed on Li Shen's desk.

"Hey, Ye Jie, it's Liu Feng. Can you buy me lunch? Hmm... I want to eat fried dumplings... Also, rice toppings from Junji Resto... Ah yes! I want mashed potato from La Premiere..."

Outside the office where the secretary sat on one corner, her jaw dropped hearing all of Liu Feng's food requests.

"Oh, I forgot, buy me a serving of halo-halo[1] at 12th Avenue! I heard it's getting quite the attention lately, I want to try it."

Ye Jie wanted to cry but no tears came out. Everything Liu Feng wanted her to buy came from different food outlets and they were not even that near to each other. One would take fifteen minutes to walk from every food outlet to another. She felt dejected as she sighs in resignation, putting down the phone back to its place.

Liu Feng clearly vented his emotions by ordering lots of food as he stared intently at his phone.

"Why would she ignore me this badly~" He cried out of frustration. He was now seated at Li Shen's swivel chair, he turned it to one side and assessed himself in-front of the glass window where he could see his reflection, placing his fingers under his chin as he stared at himself in confusion.

"I'm not that bad. I look handsome, still." He uttered, slightly nodding his head.

"Why would she ignore me~" He frowned, throwing his phone a glare.
