The breakfast table was laid with French toast, coffee, a glass of milk and steamed dumplings. Jin Qingling, Gen and Xiao Li were sitting around the table eating silently. Xiao Li was given a glass of milk while the two adults were drinking coffee. The atmosphere looked harmonious but it didn't look familial.
"Eat carefully Xiao li, the dumplings are still hot," said Jin Qingling as she took a sip of her coffee. Even though the little girl was only three, she ate neatly for the kids of her age without making a mess around her.
"Are you free today?" Gen directed his question towards Jin Qingling who looked up at him lifting her head.
"I have an interview today. Why do you ask?" She asked a question of her own as she put more dumplings in Gen's plate.
"Didn't you say that you want to go shopping to buy some decorative items for the house. I looked around and just happened to find an antique store around the corner. So I thought we can go there together. What do you think?"
"It sounds good but let's keep it for some other day. Will that be okay?"
"That will do." He then turned to Xiao Li who was slowly munching on her toast. "Be quick darling, we are running late for school."
As if unfazed by getting late, she continued eating at the same pace, not willing to speed up at all.
Jin Qingling looked at her and then spoke to Gen with a chuckle, "You know how much she hates going to school, so in no way will she speed up. She is just like her—" father. The last word died in her mouth, never coming out. She knew Xiao Li had many traits of Wu Zihao. She resembled him in more ways than she resembled her mother.
Gen looked at her, for her to complete her sentence but when he noticed her awkward expression on her face, he didn't need the answer anymore. He understood her too well to seek an answer. His mood was dampened, and he just smiled bitterly and then placed his chopsticks on the table to wipe his mouth. "I am done. I'll go get my files and then we will head out together."
He went straight to his study to calm his breathing. He was feeling a pang of pain in his heart and it made him feel suffocated. 'She still has him on her mind' he thought. And what hit him the most was that she didn't even try to convince him to finish his meal. Maybe it didn't even cross her mind that he is leaving the table with a half-filled stomach. The truth was hard for him to accept. The truth that he had been running away from, for the past four years always kept coming back in his face time and time again and he kept running away from it each time.
Feeling very unsettled, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number that he had agreed to not call on again. The phone rang a few times before it was finally answered and an annoyed voice greeted him from the other end. "Did we not agree to not call each other again. Why are you calling me?"
"Jin Qinggee I think it's him that she belongs to. It has been four years but she has still not forgotten him." He ran his hand through his neatly combed hair as paced back and forth in his study, his mind and heart feeling very unsettled. "I did everything to keep them apart but she is still not in love with me. She will never accept me wholeh—"
"Stop your rambling for once!" Jin Qinggee snapped at him angrily. "How does it matter if she falls in love with you or not? You are still getting to marry the woman of your dreams. Love will happen eventually, don't rush things."
"Jin Qinggee four damn years! You still call that rushing things?" His voice deepened and became tense. Jin Qinggee suddenly felt a sense of guilt emerging in his voice and she started panicking.
She didn't want Jin Qingling to go back to Wu Zihao. Because if she did, she would never be able to approach him. But it seemed like this fool was on the verge of destroying all her efforts. It had taken her so much effort to convince this fool to gather the courage to go after her and she could not see everything going to waste now.
"Listen to me. Shut your crap up and take her out on a date. Make her feel wanted and special. Prepare for your wedding and one day you will definitely make her fall head over heels in love with you." She was losing her patience now and was almost whisper-yelling with gritted teeth. If not for the people around her in the office, she would perhaps be screaming her lungs out by now. "Are you even listening?"
When she heard his heavy breathing, she knew he was listening. "You have made so much effort to get her to marry you. Don't let it go all waste now. You won't get this opportunity twice."
Gen listened to her and then tried to calm himself. She was right, this was his only chance. If he let it go, he will lose her forever. and his greed to marry her and the fear of losing her finally overpowered his conscience once again and he decided to stick to the original method. He took a few deep breaths and finally spoke, "You are right. I need to be patient."
"Excellent! Avoid calling me as much as possible now. I am hanging up." With that, the call ended. Gen went to the small almirah placed in a corner of his study, took out the files he needed and came back to the dining area where Jin Qingling and Xiao Li were done with their breakfast.
"I will pick her up from the school while returning," Jin Qingling said while doing the dishes. Gen nodded and the two headed out.
