CHAPTER 302
It did not take time though, soon it was already weekend and just as Tang Zixin had promised, he arrived on Friday evening, placing a call to Li Jing as soon as he dropped from the plane.
"Hey, Li Jing."
"Tang Zixin! Let me guess, you are back, right?"
"Yeah. I am back."
"I should send someone to get you from the airport soon. Just hang on."
"No need for that, Li Jing or have you forgotten that I have a house here? I have sent for my driver to come and pick me up."
"Ohh, my bad. I did not mean to impose whatsoever."
"I understand. Anyways, I need to go now. We would meet tomorrow then."
"Sure thing. Happy to have you around, Zixin."
"Happy to be here. Good night, Li Jing."
"Night." She removed the phone from her ear and ended the call.
Li Jing turned to look at her side and her gaze met the smiling faces of the two closest females in her life.
"Yipee!" Her smile fell when the first female almost screamed out in joy. "Yay, my Tang Zixin is making a move finally."
"Calm down auntie," the second female, Yin Lifen cautioned Mrs Lin Huilang who seemed to not mind her and just want to jubilate for all she cared.
"Let me be, Yin Lifen. I am happy, at least one of them is making a serious move for her. I told Ye Cheng, if he doesn't do anything, he would have her taken from him. You see, it is already happening."
"Sorry to burst your bubbled auntie, Tang Zixin is still just a friend to her."
"But he has started making his intentions known," Mrs Lin Huilang stated.
"I am sorry auntie, but he hasn't done that. While Ye Cheng is being busy with work, at least Tang Zixin knows how to utilize the valentine weekend and take my Li Jing out."

"VALENTINE!" Li Jing exclaimed.
"What? Why are you looking so shocked? Do not tell me that you did not know it was valentine's day this weekend?" Mrs Lin Hiulang asked her grand niece.
"No, I didn't and neither did he. We just couldn't go out as scheduled last week…"
"So you scheduled this weekend and fortunately for him, it fell at the perfect time. I believe, my dear that Tang Zixin would use this opportunity to make his intentions known to you."
"No… this shouldn't be happening," Li Jing muttered to herself but Yin Lifen could read her lips and knew she was very downcast about it.
It was normal, a girl would want to spend the day with someone she loved and not someone she considered a close friend.
In this case, Li Jing felt bad because she would now have to spend it with Tang Zixin. He felt back to the city because of this outing, she couldn't possibly refuse him now.
If she had known, she would have utilized the opportunity and go visit Ye Cheng for the weekend, giving him a valentine's day surprise.
'Wait but does that mean I am coming to terms with the fact that I love him? I do not know. I just know I want to be by his side every time. Oh come on Li Jing, decide,' Li Jing pondered in her mind.
"Li Jing," Yin Lifen called out softly.
"Yes?"
"It is not over, Li Jing."
"Huh?" Mrs Lin Huilang looked confused at what they were trying to communicate to each other.
"What is the matter with you two? Speak up."
"She feels sad that she cannot spend the weekend with Ye Cheng."
"Then that is his business. He is a naughty boy. Shouldn't he know that it is time for lovers and if he truly likes her, he should also make a move like what my Tang Zixin is doing?"
"Sigh, auntie, if I didn't know better, I would have said you were rooting for Tang Zixin and not Ye Cheng," Yin Lifen pointed out.
"Well to some extent yes."
"Why? I thought…"
"That is because Ye Cheng is delaying. I used to think they were the best match ever. Well I still do but my baby cannot wait forever," she defended her claim.
"True but part of why he is delaying is your baby's fault."
"What!" Mrs Lin Huilang had not known that yet and was surprised to find out that Li Jing had a hand in why she was not happy herself.
"Oh, she did not tell you," Yin Lifen started to say and then moved her gaze over to her friend.
"Fen Fen…" Li Jing called out her name in a subtle warning tone but the latter ignored it and continued speaking nonetheless.
"It was Li Jing who told Ye Cheng to let them give themselves space and time to figure out things. Figure out their feeling she said."

Mrs Lin Huilang still could not believe what she was hearing. Here she was rooting for Tang Zixin thinking Ye Cheng was being a slowpoke. It turned out her grandniece had a big role to play.
"Well that, coupled with the fact that grandpa stole her away had made it hard for him to chase after her," Yin Lifen explained again.
Mrs Lin Huilang did not speak for some seconds. She just let her eyes access Li Jing from where she sat.
Honestly speaking she did not know what was wrong with her grandniece. It was obvious he was in love with Ye Cheng and he loved her too but the problems in their lives were much then and probably that was why she decided to find time for them to think things through.
Yes, they had a problem but all relationship did too.
"Li Jing… hmm. Anyways, if Ye Cheng had figured what he wanted and how he felt, by now he should be chasing after her. If he really loved her, he should wait till she figures it out too before chase after her. Doesn't he love her? Haven't they kissed yet? So why the wait?"
