The Undefined Love - Chapter 322

Deming already pulled Lifen to stand and directed his formal words to Mike, “I am sorry, friend. But I think we need to leave first. Wait for some time and we will surely send you the invitation card for our wedding” He said and swiftly pulled her out with him. Mike kept staring at the couple leaving. At first when he heard a man calling himself as the fiancée of the woman he wanted to be hers. He wanted to chase him off anyhow. But the moment he came to know the formidable identity of the man, he couldn’t dare. It’s not that he solely idolizes him because of his talented personality but there was a fear that made him worship him. He worshiped him as the Devil who is well known to not accept any offense against him. When she got outside, Lifen retracted her hands away from Deming’s grip, “What was that?” “What?” “Don’t feign innocence like this. Though I don’t know your past achievements and business that well but I am very much knowledgeable about these pretended expressions on your face. This never have the same meaning as it is presented” “There is no doubt that my girl knows me the way no other does but still you have a far way to go. Let go now, we can discuss it when we reach our hotel room. You must already be tired from all this hustle and bustle, you must take some good rest”, his voice was really concerned and its depth quickly reached Lifen’s heart. He opened the door of his car for her and gestured to her to get inside. “Okay I will go but you better explain everything carefully before I fall sleep”, she said and then got inside his car. Earlier in hurry, she has taken a cab to the club and then from there straight to this restaurant. Her words pulled some unknown strings of his memories. Somehow her voice and tone reminded him strongly of his little girl. She would always bargain the same way to know the things she was curious about. When he thought of her being the same little girl, his heart thumped loudly like it was also trying to confirm the words approved by his mind. Lifen was already inside but even after a few seconds she didn’t feel Deming moving. She looked up to see him still standing at the same place, holding the door and staring deeply at her as if he remembered something from the past. “What happened?” she asked as she looked at him. He was snapped back from his thoughts, shaking his head, he said, “Nothing!” and went to the other side to get to the driver’s seat. She looked at him and felt a little weird as the playful air around him got changed suddenly. Like he got in some deep thoughts to contemplate something. She looked at him and thought to ask him again but then decided against it. The drive proceeded smoothly. Lifen stared out the window, looking at the place where she has lived for two years, reminiscing the memories she has made here. Those two years were really important to her because it was the base year when she really got to know herself and the capability she had inside her. At that time, she has lost all her hopes in her life thinking that the life she has always dreamt of will never be hers. Thinking that she has lost her love forever, she felt she has lost an important part of her life. Even the recovery she was showing after the operation was so slow. If not for Yang Yuzhe, she believed that no other doctor could be so patient with her and her health progress. She had never thought that there would be a day when she would come back to live the life she has once dreamt, beside the same man from her memories. And will know that he never forgot her or the promise he had made to her years ago. Thinking all this her lips curled up on its own. The boy from her childhood memories was still the best, as she remembered and the man she was having now beside her was also the best, she could ever think of. Deming turned to look at the woman who was lost in her world of thoughts. He still can’t get off the feeling he got earlier. In the past too, there have been many such situations and dreams where he had found her very much similar to the little girl from his childhood memories. But since at that time he believed Jie to be that little girl, he never paid much attention to it. But now after knowing the truth of Jie faking her identity, he really felt unimaginable chances of her being the same girl who brought him back to life twelve years ago. Her everything now was reminding him of the girl from his past. Staring her for quite some time, he reverted his eyes back on the road he was driving on. Suddenly out of nowhere, she called in a very soft voice, “Little girl!”. His voice was so faint that if not her partial attention was to his side, she would not have heard his voice. Even his eyes were all focused on the road and the expression his face was holding was poker. “Hmm?”, she responded to his earlier call without giving much thought to the words he has used to address her. Her expression was all normal as if this title wasn’t new for her. Deming’s eyes widened as he looked at her face. She just responded to the title he has always used in the past. Since the girl never told him her name, he always referred her as ‘little girl’ The car halted with a sudden brake, startling Lifen deeply. She turned to look at Deming’s face which was looking at her so intensely like he was trying to confirm his doubts. It was the same as before. The same expression he was giving her when they left the restaurant. “What happened? Why are you looking like that again? It’s freaking me out now”. She said making her face go according to the feelings she just reported him. But Deming didn’t respond to her, rather looked at her face. When some time passed by, he asked, “You responded to me just now? Did you hear me calling you?” “Yes of course, I heard you calling me that’s why I responded to you. Huh! Don’t tell me you are trying telepathy. I don’t think we had that deep relationship where we can feel the telepathic bonding between us?”, she remarked, making the conversation go lighter. “Lifen, I am serious. Tell me, did you really hear me calling you with a name you are familiar with?”, his voice turning anxious. “Of course I heard you”, she confirmed and Deming was about to jump in joy thinking that his facts were all confirmed but suddenly Lifen added “I just heard you calling me Little Cat. And it’s the most familiar name I have ever heard from your lips” His expression instantly changed into disappointment. “I haven’t called you by that name” “Huh? Hey don’t always give me such weird names. Sometimes it even confuses me how I was entitled to such a name. I am a human yet you call me by the name of animals, sometimes rabbit and most of the time, you call me cat. What am I to you? Your pet?”, she said as she put her hands on h.i.p.s and turned her whole self to face him. “Little Cat..” “Exactly! This is what I am asking you. Do you really take me as your girlfriend or a pet?” she asked again, cutting him off in the middle. Deming looked at her and sighed. She really wouldn’t have heard him calling her with a different name and even if she has, there will be no way she was going to accept it in this way. It would not be leading him to anywhere so he thought to let the topic go for the time being. “You are my pet girlfriend whom I am raising with my extreme love, patience and love”, he said and then again turned again to resume his driving. Lifen puffed up her cheeks up and then turned to face the passing roads out the car window again. Deming turned his head to look at her with slight suspicion. He really felt that she had heard him before but… He narrowed his eyes on his own thought then reverted it back on the road to reach his destination. Lifen on the other side sighed in relief. She almost got caught just now. She never expected this type of trick on her. But a fear rose in her heart the next moment knowing how close the call was! Did he know the truth already? Was he testing her? Oh Gosh what if her thoughts got true!
