Chapter 60 - No rights to get an explanation.

Lifen was in the park, sitting on the bench enjoying eventing twilight with a depressed face. Her face was shining with the lights of fairy lightings decorated around the gulmohar tree. With every passing minute, the people in the park are getting lesser and lesser.

She was deep in her thoughts remincing the her moments from day one to till date with Deming. Several thoughts were running in her mind. The words of Daiyu and Guang were also ringing in her ears. Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts, when her phone rang though it was on the silent mode but still she had activated its vibration mode so she can get a note of notifications received by her.

She took her phone and looked at the caller-id. It was displaying 'Sweetheart'. She had a blank expression on her face, 'Who is this?'. She was not in mood to entertain anyone, but still she reluctantly picked up the call, "Hello...", she greeted and was about to ask the identity of the caller but before she could a familiar voice ran into her ears. The voice was of 'the great Wang Deming '.

"Where are you now? Why have you left without me?", he asked in a stringent tone. She could hear his anger through his words. She checked the mobile screen once more to look at the caller-id. She was dumbfounded by the name 'Sweetheart'. She remembered that she hasn't saved his contact with that name.

The day before too, she hadn't noticed the contact name because she has heard Daiyu telling, it's a call from Deming and had received the call without looking at the contact name. But at this moment it doesn't matter any more, what matters is that he is his words that holds his anger.

'Does he really cares for me? No, I don't think so. And by the way, I am not going to tell him anything. He is my boss, my superior at work and that's it. Nothing more', she muttered inside her brain.

"Sorry Sir, I think that my job at your office has already got over so I don't think that you would be interested in my whereabouts. It doesn't concern you. If there is nothing important then I am hanging up", Lifen said plainly without any expression in her tone.

After that without waiting for him to reply, she hung up the call. She was continuously justifying herself, her actions. Then she was also defending Deming, blaming herself solely for everything.

Soon after he heard strong footsteps coming in her direction from behind. She ignored it.

"So you are here", a deep voice rang in her ears. She turned to look behind her. It was none other than Deming.

She stood up but after giving some thought she sat back on the bench giving her back in the direction where Deming was standing. Seeing that she was ignoring him, his fist clenched and he gritted his teeth.

He asked again, "Why are you here? According the excuse you have given to Murphy, you should be helping your mother in the hospital, then why are you wasting your time here?"

She ignored his question again, busy in typing a message to someone. Deming got more agitated, he fiercely took long steps and in the next moment, he was standing in front of Lifen, "Little Cat, I am asking you something. Why aren't you answering? Little Cat, look at me", with that he kneeled, held her shoulder with one hand and then with other hand he lifted up her chin so that she can look into his eyes.

When he looked into her eyes, it was moist showing the traces of unshed tears which she was controlling inside her. But with his one intense gaze, it broke all the boundaries a d fell off her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. He felt a hard pinch in his heart.

"Little Cat, you are crying? But...", before he can say any further words Lifen stood up, picked up her bag and started to walk away from him.

Deming grabbed her wrist and yanked her back in front of him, "Little Cat, answer me first. Why are you avoiding me? If anything is bothering you, you ask me".

Lifen looked at him, "Sorry Sir, I do not intend to lie at the workplace but it's just that I wasn't feeling good today. I apologize for my mistake, and I won't repeat that...Aishh, again, I don't know what happened to me today. I am going on doing mistakes and apologizing for them".

Deming didn't move his gaze from her, he was intensely looking at her without blinking, "Little Cat, work hours are over. Now you are not my employee, but my girl. Is there anything you wanna ask me?". His tone was soft but it still held some sharpness.

"Girlfriend!", Lifen chuckled.

She continued, "Really, but why am I not remembering you confessing your feelings to me. I was the naive one, sorry I have misspelled the word. I was an idiot, that I considered your actions out of jealousy as your love confession".

She swatted her wrist free from his grip, "You want me to ask you for an explanation, but I don't think I hold any right to ask you anything".

"Little Cat, listen to me first", he said while intending to hold her but she stepped back to avoid his touch. He felt a pinch of pain in his heart again when he saw her reluctance for his touch.

He ignored the pain and thought in his mind, 'I have to mend everything before it gets too late'.

He continued, "It's not what are you thinking, Little Cat. There is nothing between me and Qin Yue. She is like a little sister to me. The thing you saw before was just a misunderstanding. You got everything wrong".

Hearing him clarifying his relation with Qin Yue, Lifen thought to herself, 'Just a misunderstanding? Hmph! Do he really consider me that naive? Actually I am a fool who he is toying with. But let me see how much he can hurt me'.

She doesn't interrupt him and patiently listened to him. He explained him everything from his relation with Qin Yue to today's misunderstanding. He then saw her eyes getting soften. He knew she is believing him. After finishing his words, he waited for her reply, but he didn't got one.

He stared at her, "Little Cat, Why are not saying anything? I have said everything, explained you everything, now are you not going to explain yourself".

"Explain myself? For what? Why should I explain anything to you?", Lifen replied.

"Little Cat...", he raised his brow, "What do you mean?"

"I still haven't given up my point. Neither I nor you, hold any right to question each other. I haven't asked you and now you should do the same", she said plainly.

She continued with turning her back to him, a furtive smile curving her lips upside, "You can do whatever you want. You can date anyone, kiss anyone or whatever you want and in the similar ways I can do the same. We won't have anything to hold anyone bac...."

Before she could complete her word, his strong hand yanked her to look at him and other went to grab the nape of her neck. She shivered when she witnessed his dark eyes, and without any warning his lips was pressed over hers, biting it and sucking it hard as if he was letting out all his anger and frustration he was holding it back.

"Mmm..De..ming, what are you doing? Let..me go", she muttered under his breath but her words were ignored making the kiss more deep and fierce.
