Granting You A Second Life 133 Keep Your Body Parts To Yourself

The tea was all finished and everyone looked completely satiated.

Li Xiuying: "We should be leaving."

They all stood up and proceeded to walk out.

Ren Daiyu said under her breathe: "Round 2."

Li Xiuying nodded and paid.

Lai s.h.i.+-on: "Bro go ahead I have something I have to do."

Lai Yongliang cast a brief look at Yao Changying who was giggling with Ren Daiyu: "Don't take too long."

Lai s.h.i.+-on strutted to Yao Changying: "Can we talk alone for a minute."

Yao Changying: "Oh sorry, we're about to leave."

Ren Daiyu quickly said: "Changying, Yingying and I will wait in the car." She looked at Yao Changying as tipped her head towards Lai s.h.i.+-on and widened her eyes.

Ren Daiyu then pulled on Li Xiuying's bag and tugged her towards the exit.

They were a few steps away when Li Xiuying curiously asked: "What does he want with Yao Changying?"

Ren Daiyu muttered: "You both have such high IQ's why is your emotional intelligence so low?"

Li Xiuying: "What?"

Ren Daiyu sighed: "You're usually so observant. Did you not see the way Lai s.h.i.+-on was looking at Changying throughout the dinner? He's trying to make 'the move'."

Li Xiuying paused on the walkway: "Shouldn't we go back and help?"

Ren Daiyu explained: "All 3 of us need to sit down and review your choices in movies. He's not making a move on someone like a hitman. He's making 'the move' like in a romcom. You understood what Xǔ Junjie's intentions were the other time we went out why didn't you see Lai s.h.i.+-on's?"

Li Xiuying: "Xǔ Junjie was wrapped around you like a boa constrictor and called you his girlfriend. This Lai s.h.i.+-on laid in wait like a cobra."

Ren Daiyu: "What's with all the snake references? Have you been watching your nature doc.u.mentaries again?"

.....

Yao Changying crossed her arms: "Did you chase my friends away for a reason?"

Lai s.h.i.+-on smoothly said: "Have lunch with me tomorrow?"

Yao Changying was bewildered: "Me? What for?"

Lai s.h.i.+-on gave her a boyish grin.

When she saw his expression the penny dropped. 'Wow, I'm actually being hit on. This hasn't happened since I was... c.r.a.p it's been so long I can't even remember the last time. '

Yao Changying was now flattered and slightly annoyed after realizing she had to pull up historical records in her mind to find the last man who was interested in her: "I'm flattered b..."

Lai s.h.i.+-on gently took her hand in both of his and began ma.s.saging lightly: "What were you about to say?"

Yao Changying was about to pull her hand back when he ma.s.saged a place on her palm that made her feel like melting. She moaned a little "How are you doing that?"

Yao Changying eventually returned to her senses pulled her hand away reluctantly: "I, Hey, let go of my hand and no more of your mind clouding ma.s.sage techniques. Keep your body parts to yourself."

Lai s.h.i.+-on's smile widened and he stepped forward so he stood closer to Yao Changying: "This should be fine right."

Yao Changying cleared her throat: "Like I was saying I'm flattered but I'm not looking to be in a relations.h.i.+p right now." She was comfortable with her life right now. Her career was going well, she had close friends and on top of that, she now had a ball of affection at home. She had spontaneously bought a Pomeranian puppy when she had finished work today.

Lai s.h.i.+-on looked deep into her eyes: "Hmm. I wasn't looking for a relations.h.i.+p either but then I met you."

Yao Changying: "Why do you have so many chat-up lines? I'm too old for games." Lai s.h.i.+-on seemed like a player, he was just too smooth with his words.

Lai s.h.i.+-on: "I'm just relaying a factual timeline of events that occurred. The first half involves my life before you and the second half is my life after you."

Yao Changying had never had someone treat her as a life-changing moment. Even though she had her doubts about him she couldn't deny that she was beyond flattered. His words made her heart beat quicken.

Yao Changying: "Like I said before I'm incredibly flattered, that doesn't change the fact there are many reasons we can't be together."

Lai s.h.i.+-on: "Like what?"

Yao Changying said with completeness seriousness: "Age is a huge issue; you're too young. What are you like 18? That's an age difference of 11 years. Plus you look like you come from a well-to-do family and I'm not. I know there are certain expectations that your type of family has and I'm under no illusion that I'll be able to meet them. I don't want to face judgment and criticism. I like my carefree life. Lastly, you seem like a player and this is just for some sort of fun, maybe I'm a novelty for you? You want to try being with an older woman or something. I'm an all or nothing kind of girl. "

Lai s.h.i.+-on: "I'm 20 and I can handle my family." He took a step forward so their bodies were almost touching and leaned down to whisper in her ear: "Don't focus on my age, I can a.s.sure you that I'm more than man enough to stand beside you. I didn't think that you were someone who would be scared to do something because of what might happen theoretically."

Yao Changying felt his warm breath tickling her ear as he spoke in a sultry voice.

Lai s.h.i.+-on: "Let me make two things really clear. I haven't looked at anyone before you and if you give us a chance I won't be looking at anyone else after you. I want your all and I'll give you my all until I have nothing."

Lai s.h.i.+-on gently kissed her cheek and hen took a step back: "I'll take it slow for you. Just one date at a time. Meet me at the Gilded Lilly restaurant at 2:30 pm. I'll be waiting until you show up even if it means I'll be waiting for an eternity."

Yao Changying touched her right cheek and look at him like a deer caught in headlights.

Lai s.h.i.+-on: "I'll escort you to the car." He didn't push Yao Changying to far and just walked beside her without touching her further.

Yao Changying continued to hold her right cheek as she followed Lai s.h.i.+-on out.

Lai s.h.i.+-on smiled: "You'll have to lead the way."

Yao Changying nodded absentmindedly as she robotically took a few steps. She then shook her head and was about to tell him she was busy tomorrow. "I..."

Lai s.h.i.+-on saw through her intentions and grinned widely: "You already mentioned earlier that you have a day off to be used for resting and digesting. I'm happy to meet later in the day if you would like? I am ready to accommodate your every whim."

Yao Changying shut her mouth and walked quietly muttering under her breathe "Stupid guy paying attention and remembering what I said. Who are you inspector Cluedo?"

Lai s.h.i.+-on: "Inspector Clouseau."

Yao Changying looked up at him: "What?"

Lai s.h.i.+-on smiled: "Cluedo is a game, Inspector Clouseau is a fictional character in pink panther."

Yao Changying looked away and muttered again: "What are you a bat? Why is your hearing so good? Who are you anyway 'mister-snooty-board-game-player-and-British-comedy-watcher''."

...

Meanwhile, Ren Daiyu continued lecturing Li Xiuying: "You have to wait until Changying gives us the details, you can't just force her to open up."

Li Xiuying nodded her head and pretended to listen.

Ren Daiyu: "Are you listening?"

Li Xiuying: "Not really."

Ren Daiyu was about to start her lecture on being sensitive again when she spotted a purple and blue-clad women: "Well would you look at that they even know which car is yours."

Li Xiuying: "Let's get this over with."

Li Yu Yan and Li Na calmly watched Li Xiuying and Ren Daiyu finally arrive.

Li Yu Yan had a gentle smile on her face and spoke softly: "Little sister, Miss Ren or would you prefer to be called friend 2?" The situation with He Meiying had reminded her of her humiliation in front of Director Zhang. Her father had told her Li Xiuiyng had 2 female friends Ren Daiyu of the Ren family and Yao Changying a doctor at Unity hospital. She could tell that the woman in front of her was Ren Daiyu because of her mannerisms; she was clearly from her social circle.

Ren Daiyu quirked a brow at being identified. She thought 'Someone's done their homework.'

Li Xiuying: "Talk."

Li Yu Yan: "I see that pleasantries are wasted on you."

Li Xiuying: "Oxygen is wasted on you."

Li Yu Yan calm expression slipped slightly: "Little sister I'm just informing you that I have been remiss in my obligations but from today onwards I'm going to diligently fulfill my duties as an elder sister."

Li Xiuying: "Oh?"
