"Ahh, easy!. It hurts!". Liling cried painfully as Xin Yong dabbed an ice pack on her arm.

"But you were strong just a while now, how come you want to cry? This would be enough, get a better treatment at home "

Xin Yong replied as she handed over the ice pack to Liling. When they left the company, Liling who had been pretending that she was okay started lamenting.

She was red all over and Xin Yong had rushed to buy an ice pack for the burns.

"Richen is really something else!, what did you do to her now?, she already has Chang Ming, so what else does she want?!"

Xin Yong exclaimed as she sat beside Liling under the shade. Liling who was still recovering from the extreme pain could not even talk. Back then, she had pretended that everything was alright and had lashed back at Richen, but only her knew how much pain she was going through.

"I wish she would just disappear from the face of the earth!" Xin Yong fumed as she took a look at Liling's arm, it was already swelling up.

"I'll treat this incident as a mistake, but... if Richen tries something like this again, she'll get a dose of her own medicine. "

Liling said in a very angry tone. Richen had really crossed the line this time. She had been pretending not to notice her coldness towards her, but she didn't think that she would take the initiative to hurt her.

Does she look like someone who could be tossed around?

Then Richen's must be gravely mistaken!

Liling arrived home a few minutes past six. She was extremely surprised to see Liu Wei seated in the living room. She immediately replaced her frown with a smile and tried to hide her arm.

She mumbled a greeting and immediately turned to run upstairs. Liu Wei just lifted his eyes to look at her but didn't utter a word.

Liling took a bath and wore a long shirt which covered her hands perfectly. She checked herself in the mirror before walking downstairs.

"Mr Liu Wei, have you eaten?, should I bring your food? "

She asked him when she came down, his eyes didn't leave his phone for a second but a whispered a soft 'Mmm' which Liling heard clearly.

She stood there wondering whether the reply was that he had eaten or that she should bring his meal.

After sometime, she decided to ask the chef in the kitchen, if he had eaten she would just take hers.

The chef told her that he had not eaten, so she begged him to set the table, since she injured on her arm and couldn't lift the trays.

When she was through, she walked back to the living room and announced that his meal was ready.

Liling opened up the dishes. For dinner, they were to eat fried rice. She placed a plate in front of Liu Wei and dished his meal.

She remained standing after giving him his chopsticks. After sometime, Liu Wei looked up at her with a creased brows.

"Why aren't you eating?"

"Oh.. "

Liling quickly sat down and served herself. They ate quietly, only the sound of chopsticks hitting the ceramic plates were heard.

"What happened to your arm? "
