Chapitre 34: 34 Waiting Game

"No. Let her be," He immediately replied not showing interests, "She's happy with her husband, I guess. There is no point in disturbing her life with unnecessary things, and as for me, well, I'm getting engaged. So why should I bother and pester her? She clearly doesn't want me. It's just me having a one-sided love." The pain in his heart was too much. Though his face and actions showed differently, his heart was actually longing for her, "Don't mention her name anymore. I don't want Lori to get upset." He continued to read and focused on the documents on his table.

Li Wei felt sad, his boss was not like this when he's around Ms Li. He felt like his boss was trying to cope in that kind of way, but he knows his boss best. What's the whole point of being with him for years if he will not know his moods. He just felt sorry for him and there is nothing he can do to help him.

It's the day of the engagement. Lori was over the moon. Finally, her engagement with the man she loves. It's finally going to happen, properly, with Cheng Ze by her side, no more running away, no more drama they surely enjoy the night together.

Li Wei was not happy at all, he can see the sadness in his boss' eyes. Though Cheng Ze made him do things that can make him end up in jail, he still cares a lot for him and still respects him. After all, he is not just his employee, he was also his friend, he could not bear to see him miserable, but what can he do to cheer him up? It's not like he can magically take Ms Li there and swap her with Lori.

Cheng Ze might be smiling but deep down he was hurting. If Ji An comes right now and tell him she loves him, and she wants to be with him, he will forget everything and he will go to her and run away with her from everyone. He doesn't care even if she's married as long as she wanted him, that's good enough for him, that's all he wanted.

Of course, Li Wei cannot just stand still, he tried to get some news about Ji An. But what he found out was not worth telling his boss. The whole situation was depressing Li Wei, "Why did he have to choose Ms Li? Of all the women, beautiful women with nice curves he dated, why does he want her?" Li Wei mumbled as he stood there next to Cheng Ze.

Cheng Ze heard his mumbling and replied without looking at Li Wei, "Because she is Li Ji An!" he then put his hands on his pockets and stared outside the window.

It startled Li Wei, he didn't think that he would hear him since he already replied, might as well ask him another question regarding that topic, "What is so special about her?" he sighed and continued, "You made me kidnapped and drugged her, for what? To make you like this? If I had known, I wouldn't have done what you asked." Li Wei was frustrated with Cheng Ze, they have to talk it out as friends.

"I'm so thankful that you followed my difficult requests, you made me so happy letting her be by my side for a little time. That little time made me feel alive. You wonder why her?" he sighed, "Because she's the only one who can make me have and feel all the emotions that a man must have in his life." he tapped Li Wei's shoulder.

His statement left Li Wei astonished, "Then why are you doing this engagement with Lori?" He wondered creasing his eyebrows.

"Ji An and I..." he closed his eyes, "I guess we have to go now." He changed the subject just like that. He opened his eyes and inhaled deeply. He then let out a long sigh, "Let's make Lori happy huh'?" He saw Li Wei's unhappy face, "I'm not marrying her yet. It's just an engagement! When we get married, she will be your boss too!" he chuckled and tried to sound happy in front of Li Wei.

"Can I refuse? I'm fine with you, but not with her. You don't have to pretend in front of me Cheng Ze. I guess you're still hoping Ms Li will arrive at any moment. Don't keep your hopes up. I don't want you disappointed." Li Wei answered him and walked towards the door, a sign that they have to go.

Everyone has arrived at the venue. Lori was wearing a Rare Chanel white/gold brocade dress from 13C Versailles collection. It has a gold leather trims and a belt, she looked so elegant and yet simple, making her appear like an angel from the heavens. Cheng Ze wore an elegant tuxedo by Calvin Klein which has satin edging and details throughout, it was modern with a trim fit, and has smooth flat-front slacks. He looked so handsome as always.

Loris' friend was envious of her, to them, Lori tamed the playboy of the town. Little did they know, it wasn't really her that changed him. They admire the couple as they took the stage and commenced the announcement.

Cheng Ze stood there with Lori by his side, "My dear family and friends. Thank you so much for coming and celebrating this event with us." He looked at Lori and gave her a smile, he held on her waist as he made the announcement. "Today as we get engaged for the second time," he let out a little chuckle, "I want to apologise to her and to everyone present last time. I'm deeply sorry if I wasn't present during the announcement. I have an urgent matter that I had to leave my own engagement." He laughed a little "This time it's not gonna happened. Though we are getting engaged right now, marriage will not follow soon." He paused as people started to gossip and whisper. "We, Lori and I had agreed to get married after 4 to 5 more years. After all, we're still young and we are not rushing. I hope our family will support us with our decision. We have plenty of time to plan our wedding. We hope to see you all again on that day." Cheng Ze continued.
