Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 440 - Will You Please Stop Nagging?

Xie Ming gasped when she saw that her phone was on the verge of dying.

She tried to call her driver before it could die.

" Ah. So it finally died." before she could get successful in her task, the phone lost its battle.

'. Mission Failed!'

She sighed and looked around. She was thinking to go inside and ask for someone else's phone to call Liwei because it was the only number that she remembers.

She was about to turn when she heard the sound of unhurried footsteps which were approaching her.

She became alerted and cautiously turned around to see the person who had stopped behind her.

" You scared me." Xie Ming sighed in relief when she saw Jian Yan standing behind her.

Jian Yan didn't react and asked, " What are you doing standing here like this? Didn't your assistant give you a ride?"he looked around trying to find if Song Xiner was nearby.

It was already dark and the studio was in a quiet secluded area. There are no running taxis and she was standing alone here at this time.

He frowned wondering that anything could have happened like this. Shouldn't her assistant accompany her?

" Ah, Song Xiner has some emergency so she left early." she replied casually.

He frowned and said, " Then where is your husband? Shouldn't he come to pick you up? Or did he say to take a taxi at this point of time?" Jian Yan felt uncomfortable just thinking about what if she had to travel alone if he hadn't come out on time.

The area is not safe and she should not travel alone at this time. But here she was standing here without anyone beside her.

Xie Ming frowned slightly when she heard his interrogative tone. However, despite his words, his expressions were extremely worried.

Her lips twitched as she felt uncomfortable seeing his expressions.

" Ah, I was about to call my driver, but my phone died." she waved her dead phone in front of him to show that she was telling the truth.

Jian Yan pursed his lips and nodded in understanding.

He looked at her hesitantly and asked, " Do you..want me to give you a ride?"

His lips twitched as he waited for her response. His heart was beating fast and was hoping that it won't be a 'no' this time.

Xie Ming was about to ask his phone when he offered to give her a ride. She was caught off guard for a moment and wanted to decline his offer when she heard someone's voice from behind.

" Madam, the car is parked over there. Master is waiting for you in the car." Just as she was about to reply to him, someone came from behind and said in a respectable tone.

She turned around and it was Liwei's driver. She smiled hearing that Liwei is waiting for her in the car.

Jian Yan's expressions darkened hearing the driver's words. He wanted some time with her to clear things up and wanted to know if she remembered him but Liwei again got into his way.

" Ah, just a minute." she said to the driver and turned to Jian Yan

" Thank you Mr. Jian for offering me a ride. But it seems like I already have a ride, so I have to decline your offer. But thanks for offering." Xie Ming politely refused him and went back with the driver.

Jian Yan frowned hearing her polite words. It feels more distant when she speaks to him so politely.

When he met her for the first time, she was casual and friendly with him but now she was so polite and far away from his reach.

He reluctantly nodded and went to his car which was parked in the parking in front.

….

Xie Ming followed the driver to their car which was parked across the road.

When she opened the door of the back seat, Liwei's charming figure came into her sight. He was looking down at his phone and looked up when he heard the car door opening.

Xie Ming was expecting a warm smile but was faced by his rigid expressions.

She was puzzled seeing his expressions and got into the car.

Liwei saw her face which had no makeup yet she looked amazing. Her skin was dazzling under the dim moon light.

" How did you know that I am done with my work? And why did you come to pick me up?"

She felt bad because he came to pick her up after working in the office the whole day. He could have gone home if he had finished early.

Liwei's jaw tightened when he heard her words. He didn't reply to her question and asked," Why is your phone off? And didn't you see my messages?"

…..

After he finished his work, he called Xie Ming's driver and found out that she was not done with her work yet.

He came here to pick her up and send her driver back. He doesn't want to disturb her that's why he left her message saying that he was waiting outside.

However, there was no reply. He waited almost an hour. But he didn't mind waiting for her.

What worried him was that he saw people exiting the studio but she didn't come out yet.

He got worried when he didn't see her coming. However, a few minutes ago he saw her standing outside the studio alone. He felt uncomfortable in his heart and wanted to scold this girl who does not learn from her previous mistakes.

He has strictly told her to call the driver and never roam out alone. It's already dark and this area is secluded.

He still cannot get over the incident where she was kidnapped in front of Global World. That area was still better than this and it was day time, however still something like this happened.

That's why he was more protective towards her because he cannot see her hurt again.

However, she was standing there alone. He was about to get off when he remembered that someone else can see him here and it might start rumors that's why he tried to call her.

He found out that her phone was switched off. As he was about to ask his driver, he found Xie Ming started talking to someone.

And it was none other than Jian Yan.

From afar he could see Jian Yan's faint smile and body language while clearly indicating that he liked her. Yet she has no idea.

That's why he hurriedly sent his driver to escort her to the car.

…

Xie Ming frowned when she heard his question.

" Messages? What message? I didn't see any." She was confused because she hadn't seen any messages and had no idea what he was talking about.

He sighed and asked, " where is your phone?"

" Ah, my phone? It died." she passed him her phone with no battery in it.

Liwei chuckled unknowingly, when he heard

her say, ' It died.'

The way she said was so interesting that it felt like she was talking about a person that died.

Xie Ming pursed her lips seeing him smile like this.

Liwei composed himself remembering that he was scolding her.

" From now on, keep a powerbank with you and don't forget to charge your phone. Also, don't go out alone next time. I don't want the same thing…" he raised his head and turned to her side while speaking.

Before he could complete his words, Xie Ming smiled faintly, and leaned in and gave him a peck on his lips.

Her actions were so hurried that he couldn't react in time and she swiftly separated from him.

" Yes Sir. I won't do this next time. Now will you please stop your nagging?" Xie Ming grinned as she saw his stunned expressions.
