754 Faster than ligh
"Wouldn't that make me sound a bit desperate? And what if he doesn't like me like I do? I don't want someone to turn me down after I shamelessly blurt out my feelings." Linyang explained.
Shrugging her shoulders, Yumi answered, "Worth a shot."
"I agree with Yumi, you won't know unless you don't give it a shot."
Thinking for quite some time, Linyang got up and grabbed her coat. "Alright, I am off to blurt my heart out or may he give him some kind of a hint."
"You go girl," Mian chuckled.
Linyang smiled and rushed out of the room, she wanted to see Andrew and tell him how she feels about him. She had never been in a very serious relationship because she had never felt like she feels for Andrew with anybody else. He was very special to her and his presence made her feel very loved.
After she left, Mian asked Yumi, "I heard that aunt Yurin came looking for you today."
"Wow news travels faster than light in this house," Yumi chuckled.
"Zian told me about it and he was very mad over it."
Yumi sighed and nodded her head, "Hmm he was really very mad. In fact, her presence affected him more than it affected me."
"Yeah, I think he was more worried about you than mad," Mian explained.
"I know but there is nothing to worry about, I mean, she means nothing to me and I don't really care what happened in the past. I just know that I belong here with mom, dad and you guys. Nothing can change the fact that I am a Li."
Giving her a hug, Mian smiled, "Yes and I cannot wait to be a part of your loving family officially."
"I‐It's nothing important, we were just discussing business."
Letting out a mocking chuckle, she snapped, "I wonder how you do this."
Awkwardly clearing his throat, Michael excused himself but she stopped him. "You don't have to go anywhere because we are done talking."
Grabbing her hand, Andrew tried to explain himself. "Linyang listen to me I—"
Cutting him off, she snapped harder, "Are you really planning to explain why you are plotting against my family? Are you hoping to convince me that you are right?"
"It's not your family, your family has nothing to do in this and—"
"The Li's are my family too and so are the Mo's." Looking at him with teary eyes, she added, "Just when I thought that you were the one, you turned out to be a jerk and a liar."
Slowly jerking his hand off, she said, "I don't want to be associated with anyone who wants to harm my family." Wiping her tears, she chuckled, "I feel so stupid for loving a liar and cheater like you."
"Linyang please—"
"From today onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other. I don't want to see your face ever again, I regret meeting you Andrew but more than that, I regret falling for you." Without waiting for his reply, she walked out of the room.
"Dude, you should go after her," Michael urged. He knew how much Andrew adored and loved Linyang, this is also the reason why he wanted him to let go of everything and lead a happy life with her but who would've thought that Linyang would find it out so soon.
"She hates me Michael, she hates me." Andrew muttered.
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Michael placed his hand on Andrew's shoulder. "Maybe Jenni is right, it's time for you to let go of the past and cut that man out of your life. You have done more than enough for him. You have already lost your sister and Linyang, do you think all of this is worth it?"
Sitting beside him, he continued, "I know you man, in fact, I know you better than you do. I know you aren't bad or evil, you have a very good heart and you shouldn't let anything overshadow the goodness and kindness in you. I think it's high time you take major steps and do what is right."
