THE LONG LOST LOVE (T3L) - Chapter 55:My Monster Had A Heartbroken?
Aurora walks home after finishing her work. Feeling a bit hungry, she went for dinner at the restaurant that Yin Li used to work before.
She takes a seat at the table outside the restaurant. Ralph has something to do so he wasn’t able to accompany her dinner tonight.
She still remembered the research report that she read in half this evening. All the details accurate with Athena’s symptom. Everything looks okay to her. But she needs to consult with her Aunt Lee Zhing first. She is the expert about the drugs and pharmaceutical, so at least with her approval, she can be more convincing in presenting this suggestion to her father.
She can’t just blurt it out without proper explanation and strong proof behind it. It about saving her little sister lives, she need to be extra careful in considering all the pros and cons in this matter.
“May I take your order miss?” One voice makes her turn to look at the waitress.
She dumbfounds a moment when she saw that Yin Li still working there. She thought with her father authority to let go all of his accounts, he would not work there anymore.
“Uh..just give me anything that can eat and drink. Thanks.” she gives back the menu book to him and turn her gaze to the road.
She didn’t want to look at him right now, she already decides to not interfere with his life again. And yet, she still keeps bumping with him.
Yin Li was a bit dumbstruck with her reaction. She makes him feel like a germ. Just now, she was in a daze. And when their eyes met suddenly she becomes like this.
“Uh..okay..anything else?”
“No. That’s all.”
Yin Li scrunch his eyebrow. He took the menu book and went back inside the restaurant. He gives the order paper to the kitchen team.
“What a beauty eh?” one of his colleagues nudge his arm a little.
Yin Li look at the way that his friends mention. He smirks.
“Don’t go near her, or you will be crazy. She’s not someone you can be in a relationship with..” Yin Li divert his eyes back to the counter table.
Ignoring Yin Li’s warning, he went to the table and try to woo her.
“Hi, I think I never saw you here before. Are you new in this town?”
“Sorry?” Aurora turns to look at the man who asks her.
That man smile to her. “I said that I never saw you before, are you new here?”
“Uh..sorry sir. I don’t know you, so I think it’s not proper for me to talk with a stranger.” she smiles.
Yin Li on the counter already grinning seeing his friend pouted return to the counter.
“See. I told you..”
“But she was so pretty. I bet it must be sexier when she’s naked. Urgh..such a waste..” he grunting and went to serve a new customer who just walks in.
Yin Li turn silent. Yup. She indeed is beautiful. Whether with or without clothes. She had a great figure and every man dream to get that kind of body as a partner.
Ding!
“Table 10 ready.”
Yin Li take the plate and bring it to Aurora’s table. She still staring at the road which is less with a car.
“Sirloin steak with a bottle of red wine for you miss.” he places the plate in front of her and pours the wine into the glass.
Aurora still not looking at him. “Thanks.” She said and take her fork and knife.
She eats her dinner silently and sometimes, she will turn to look at her phone. She chatting with Ralph regarding the research. Without her knowing, there is a pair of eyes keep looking at her silently.
….
“Ralph, hurry up.” She said while looking at Ralph who still busy scribbling his noted hurriedly.
Both of them went to the Cat Cafe together. When they entered the Cafe, Aurora could spot Yin Li immediately. Maybe it’s her habit where she can always spot him even when they in the crowd.
“Sorry, I’m running late Mr. Yin.” Aurora pulls the seat in front of him. Ralph also take a seat beside Aurora.
Yin Li frowned when his eyes met with Ralph. He then turns to look at Aurora who still calm.
‘Oh, she really fast.’
“Uh- am I interrupting your discussion?” Ralph ask awkwardly after notice Yin Li gaze toward him.
“No, its nothing serious. You can stay here.” Aurora turns to look at Ralph and then she turned to look at Yin Li.
“So, Mr. Yin..where is the document that I need to fill?” She asks.
Yin Li keep his professionalism. He took out the document and handed it to her.
He explained the details and `the lease contract to Aurora. She nodded understand and start to fill the details and her information on the document.
Ralph beside her frowned a bit when he saw the address on that form.
“Eh, you buy this kind of house? why you not buy a mansion or land and build your own house?” he asks and slurping his drink after that.
Aurora just smiles. “I just stay alone. Why would I need a bigger house?” she diverts her eyes back to the paper.
Yin Li stay silent when these two start to have a conversation.
“Aren’t you going to remarry again?”
Both of Yin Li and Aurora flinch a bit with the sudden question from Ralph.
Scratching her chin a little, she just makes a ‘ha-ha’ sound awkwardly.
“Maybe not in this life again.” She replies and gets the serious look from Ralph.
“Oh, come one..move on. I never saw your ex-husband and I don’t know what kind of person is he. but Rora, listen..you had miles ahead of your life to find true love. Don’t stick with his memory anymore. You not gonna be a widow for a long time. You are beautiful and smart. You’ll get someone who is better than your ex, right Mr. uh- banker? ” He said nonchalantly while glancing to Yin Li.
Aurora was shocked to hearing Ralph blabbering something like this in front of Yin Li. Yin Li! Among other people.
“I don’t know.” He said while in his heart, he feels a bit sad with the thought that Aurora might remarry again in the future.
Hearing Yin Li answer, she signs the document and pass it to Yin Li. “I’m sorry, I need to go to the ladies.”
She stood up and leave her handbag with Ralph.
Yin Li look at Ralph and ask him with a serious tone. “Are you Miss Aurora’s acquaintance?”
“Hmm? Yeah. We’re a friend.” he said casually.
“Oh.. aren’t you two going out? I mean, you look like a couple.”
“Couple?? hahah..no way. She only had eyes for her ex-husband. while me, I only had eyes to my girlfriend. I just her friend that happen to like hanging out at the library with her. that’s all.”
Yin Li turn silent. He thought that Aurora had an affair with this guy. Who would have thought that they actually just a friend?
“Well, are you interested in her?” Ralph asking him, making him turn to look at him.
“Huh?”
“You ask like you interested want to know more about her. But Mr banker, I tell you what, she’s actually a very hard person. She loved her ex-husband so much. Tsk. But she was so pity, her husband cheating with another woman and because of that she had a great heartbroken.”
Yin Li was totally speechless. ‘My monster had a heartbroken?’
