Isaiah was annoyed but happy she stood up for herself and left. After consoling her for a bit they finally ended the convo when he and Fen arrived home.
(Gu Nings home)
After her talk with Isaiah Gu Ning received a call from Qin Yifan.
Gu Ning wasn't willing to pick it up.
Because of Qin Yiqing, she wasn't in a good mood right now, and she was a little mad at Qin Yifan too.
However, after a while, she thought that it was better to make it clear, so she answered, "Hi!"
Once Qin Yifan heard Gu Ning's voice, he apologized, " Gu Ning, I'm so sorry about what my older sister did to you. Please accept my apologies."
Gu Ning" Well, apologies accepted." Gu Ning wouldn't forgive Qin Yiqing so easily, but she didn't think she would meet her often in the future. There was no need to ruin her connection with Qin Yifan.
" Thanks," Qin Yifan replied. "It's my fault actually. If not because I…"
At that moment, Qin Yifan stopped all of a sudden. He felt anxious and hesitated to tell Gu Ning that he liked her. He was afraid to be rejected. He was worried that he couldn't be her friend any longer, but if he didn't say it right now after what had happened, he probably wouldn't ever have a better chance.
Also, it was inappropriate to tell the girl his feelings on the phone.
Thinking of that, Qin Yifan planned to meet Gu Ning at first. "Um, Gu Ning, I have something to tell you. Could you please come out and meet me for a while?"
Gu Ning" Just tell me on the phone. It's fine." Gu Ning almost knew what Qin Yifan was going to tell her. Although she didn't want him to do it, she couldn't stop him.
Qin Yifan" I'm sorry for what has happened to you. If I hadn't told my older sister that I like you, it wouldn't have happened. My older sister is bossy and likes to be involved in everything, but I'm different. I'm strong at work, but not pushy, nor snobbish in my life. And, most importantly, I really like you, Gu Ning. Can you give me a chance?"
Indeed, Gu Ning guessed correctly. Qin Yifan was going to tell her that he liked her, but Gu Ning felt nothing. She probably didn't feel happy because Qin Yifan was not the man she liked.
She wondered who she liked. The image of Mu ke appeared in her head, but she still felt nothing, then she thought of situ Ye but still felt nothing.
When she thought of Leng Shaoting she paused.
She did think he was handsome and smart and strong and could see herself being with him, but that would Have been the case if she hadn't of known Isaiah.
In looks department he was already a ten, in the brains department he was her better, Pluss he's stronger than me.
And if she had to add something else it would be he made her feel safe, warm and secure.
Why? Was Isaiah her type? Although she wasn't sure, she knew out of every guy she met Isaiah's the one that's been there and helped the most.
Gu Ning" Sorry, I think it's better for us to be friends," Gu Ning said. It was a no.
Gu Ning was the first girl he felt had touched his heart, so he didn't want to give up right away. He continued to ask, "Really? Can't you give me a chance? If I've done anything that you dislike, please tell me. I'll change."
" Nothing," Gu Ning said without hesitation. "It has nothing to do with your appearance or your background. I just don't have feelings with you. I'm sorry."
"Well, then, um, bye." Qin Yifan hung up at once. He felt empty and lost now.
Gu Ning sat gazing at the screen of her computer. She had mixed emotions. She knew that Qin Yifan would be unhappy that she had rejected him, but she couldn't comfort him. If she did so, she was giving the man hope. Gu Ning chose to be cruel to some extent.
She never lost confidence in men, even though a man had betrayed her in her previous incarnation.
However, she truly treated Qin Yifan as her friend only. Sigh all this love stuff was giving her a headache.
(America, Beverly Hills)
In a secured private mansion, 2 girls could be seen in the kitchen area making some food. One was someone familiar to you all while the other was a new face.
Ariana" So how is your sister. Is she still staying inside." She asked as she seasoned the fish.
Kendall" She's still traumatised by the incident, but she's definitely been doing better these past two days. What about you how was your break."
Ariana" It was ok, I got to hang out with the rest of the girls, and I met a guy just recently that I'm really interested in."
Kendall" Shut up. Tell me the dets now, does he have an Instagram."
Ariana" No he doesn't, we're just talking, for now, I met him at Billie's concert and coincidentally meet up with him when I went to France."
Kendall" When you say meet up you don't mean. OMG, YOU DID. How is he in bed."
Ariana" Sigh I did, But I can tell you two thing. It's over 7, And he lasted more than an hour." As the two girls gossiped they finished cooking and took their food to the living room where they were going to watch tv.
When Ariana sat down, she noticed a jacket was also on the sofa. It wasn't the jacket itself that interested her but the smell it gave of." Hey Ken, who's jacket is this."
Kendall" Oh, Kim must have forgotten it here. Apparently, it was owned by the person who saved my sister, sadly we weren't able to find him."
Ariana" Do you have nothing. Did he really disappear, just like that? Do you not even have a name."
Kendall" Oh ye, his name is Isaiah. That's what Chloe said anyway. Plus with the tag on the inside saying, Mr Lai. We guessed his name would be Isaiah Lai, but police haven't found anyone of that name in any police database."
Ariana" Is that so, I hope you can find him soon."
Kendall" Me too. My family really wants to thank him."
Ariana smiled on the outside while panicking inside.' It hadn't been long since the incident and out meeting in France, they both have the exact same name, Pluss this coat smells just like him.
There's no mistaking her Isaiah is the one there searching for.
How...HOW COULD HE DO SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS.'
