Chapter 227 - Won't be giving up on this relationship.

The elder Li has become rageful hearing the words of mentioning that good for nothing girl as a younger sister.

He had known how ruthlessly this boy has broken the trust and heart of Lifen for seeking not so sensible revenge for that gold digger girl who still wanders around him. And still he is claiming his love for Lifen.

He has known that Lifen has got shot two year back when she got to attend the engagement of Deming and Jie and still this brat has got the audacity to say that she is just a little sister to him.

Even if she is then why didn't he took any initiative to deal with rumours that were going around about him and that girl?

Why did he let her take advantage of being the future Mrs.Wang when he considers her to be nothing else but a little sister.

Not able to control anymore, the old man said under his gritted teeth, "Don't ever dare to say that you love her especially in front of me. I have known all the deeds you have done to her, two years back. I just don't want to mention those hurtful memories to her. I hope you got my words. Now leave!!",saying this the old man stood up and turned his back to him.

Deming didn't retaliated his words this time. He stood up from his seat, smoothing the sleeves of his dress suit he walked towards the door. He exited the room but not before turning and making a crystal clear advise to the old man.

"Grandpa, I will repeat my words again. Don't keep her away from me or force her doing so. If you prevent her from seeing me, them I won't guarantee anything. I really can't live without her. Despite of my strict principles, I will take her away by force. If necessary then I will lock her up and keep her all for myself. In that case you won't be able to see her for the rest of your life", Deming said in nonchalance and left the room leaving the elder at the pique of fury.

When left the room, he walked across the corridor thinking to get back to the party hall and find Lifen.

He needs her to not lose hope in their relationship that easily.

He was walking a little absent mindedly when a familiar silhouette caught his attention. He strolled towards the balcony that devoid of any artificial lights but only moonlight has lighted it up beautifully.

He came from behind and tried to give a back hug to Lifen, only to get pushed away gently by her. Her actions somehow made him a little disheartened but he covered it up quickly and asked her with his puppy confused eyes, "Little Cat, what happened? Don't want a hug?"

Lifen turned and looked into the man's dark orb eyes. She was no more nervous now as she was few moments before. She has made her decision.

"Huh? Why should I want or need hour hug? I am enjoying my beautiful night here. What brings Mr.Wang here? The party is going downstairs. Kindly help yourself to the floor", she said giving him a very polite distant smile and then turned around to revert her gaze back at the moon shining beautifully high up in the sky.

Deming was taken aback by her indifferent tone and distant smile. His heart panicked inside his chest as he saw Lifen turning her back towards him.

What was that?

Has she already given up the hope in their relationship?

How can she has distanced herself from him that easily?

Was everything that happened between them earlier was just his desired illusion?

Though his demeanor was still calm and posed but one can see him panicking when gazed deep into his eyes. His eyes were having the feeling of abandonment by the only person in his life on whom his life is dependent.

To calm his heart down, he took a deep breath and then extended to grab Lifen's arm who has turned her back towards him. With a lightening speed, he made her swirl around to face him, eyes into eyes.

"Little Cat? You better have a good reason for your indifferent behaviour earlier?", His tone was dreadfully calm and low to send the shivers down her spine.

Lifen got lost in his stern words that she forgot to reply him. She just gazed deep into his eyes while blinking her innocent ones to him.

She was snapped back to the world when she felt his grip suddenly tightening around her and him coming dangerously close to her.

She hurried pushed him back to create the distance between them as the tension was enough to make her muddled headed. But in process  her foot lost its friction on ground making her unbalanced to fall.

She has closed her eyes to exprienced the stinging pain she was going to feel but then she felt strong arms wrapping around her back preventing her from falling.

She slowly opened her eyes to look at the man who has held her with utmost care as if only a little rough movement from him can break her.

There was a little pain in his eyes along with a kind of helpless fear. At this moment Lifen understood that she has taken her prank a little to far on him.

She just wanted to ease the air between them and do a little teasing for fun. She never thought that her little indifference could have such a painful effect on him. It seemed like she has miscalculated his feelings for her.

"Ummm...don't get so serious. I am all okay and was just teasing you a little bit. I never thought you would get so serious suddenly", Lifen said with a sheepish innocent smile.

Hearing her words, Deming took a sigh of relief internally. This girl really knows to make his world upside down.

Lifen adjust herself in his embrace to straighten herself and then said in a promising tone, "I won't be going to give up on this relationship unless and until you want so or even after that. So take things easy. I need time to figure out the things with my grandfather".

She said as she pecked his lips lightly and then shared a hug to assure him with her words and actions.
