CHAPTER 323

"What are you waiting for?" Li Jing asked.

Duan Tian's eyes widened at the audacity the young lady in front of him was portraying.

"I…"

"I do not want to know what you think. You asked me to give you grace and I did. Kneel and plead, then I would forget any of this ever happened and be fast with it. I have no time to waste on trash."

Duan Tian felt really insulted and balled his fists into a ball. If not for the fact that she was a lady he would have punched her but if people were to see that happening, they would think of him as a useless man.

So all he could do was just wait for things to begin. And flow with the tide, going to wherever she wants to go.

"I would," Duan Tian said in a low voice.

"What? I did not catch that. Speak loudly," Li Jing ordered him.

All these while he couldn't guess who she was as she changed her voice and her outlook brought out her sexy curves in the right places, a kind of dress Li Jing wasn't prone to wear.

"Fine. I said I would do it."

Slowly Duan Tian began to lower himself and gradually he went till he got down on his completely.

The moment Li Jing saw he kneels touch the ground, Li Jings parted a bit in a corner of a smile for a split second.

After that, she quickly maintained her indifferent appearance and eyed him from head to toe.

"Go on," Li Jing ordered again. 'I am waiting. I do not have all day."

Duan pursed his lips into a thin fine line, tightening his clenched fist tighter till his knuckles turned white.

"I, Duan Tian, sincerely apologize for bashing the Young Miss's car. I promise to drive carefully from now on and not allow this to repeat itself."

"Okay, you have done well. I think this can do."

Without another word to spare to him, she turned on her heels, ready to leave but before she could, she heard Duan Tian's voice.

"Young Miss."

"Yes?" Li Jing turned back around to look at him. At this time he just stood up from his kneeling position. "Any problem?"

"No. If young miss would be so kind enough to tell me her name. I…"

"Why?" Li Jing raised a brow at him. "Hmm? So that you can probably seek revenge for today?"

"No, I dare not. Young lady, I dare not. I only want to thank the young lady and probably treat young lady to lunch since I cannot pay for the damage done."

"Tsk, you could not even pay for this, why do you feel you can treat me to lunch, huh?" Li Jing scoffed at him before making look like he worth nothing in her eyes.

"Not like that," Duan Tian managed to form a smile amidst the insult. He was bearing the whole thing in hopes that from taking her out to eat they would be friends and he could find a way to win her heart.

He felt if he can get her to love him, then he could control her and her wealth. That way she would not be able to talk to him anyhow and would respect him while he controlled her power.

His plan seemed to be concocting pretty well in his head, all that remained was making it a reality which wasn't as it was in reality.

"Like how?"

"I just mean well."

"Hmm, Mr. Duan Tian, let life be. What would be, will be. You cannot control life neither can you force friendships."

'I am not trying to force anything."

"Alright then, since you want to know my name, I would let you know or guess yourself. Funny enough we have met before," Li Jing informed him.

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"Then my apologies for not knowing young miss. Please would you do me the honors of removing your shade? I would love to see the beauty behind the glasses."

"Hehee, okay. I think I can grant such a request. Look carefully, cause you just get this one look.'

'Yes, thank you, young miss for your benevolence."

'You have a way with words, Mr Duan."

'What can I say? Young miss is just flattering me."

"Me, flattering you or it is the other way around?" Hearing this Duan Tian could no longer say anything butt lower his head in shame. "Alright, get your one good look carefully. Here I go."

As soon as he heard her say that, he lifted his head, ready to see the girl that had the guts to defy him since. Watching him watch her, Li Jing carefully and slowly raised her hand and held her glasses, ready to take them off.

She smiled once so he could watch all her gestures and in one swift move, she took it off, shaking her hair a bit, adding a little dramatical effect and holding the shades to the side so he could see her face well.

The moment her hair fell off from her face, revealing the dashing heiress, Duan Tian's mouth fell open as his jaw dropped.

He could not believe his eyes and though it didn't take as long, Duan Tian felt that time stopped abruptly to even admire and capture that sexy, bossy look on Li Jing's face that moment.

He blinked thrice, hoping the image would clear but when he stopped and looked closely, the person there was none other than Li Jing.

"No way…" His eyes still shone in the bright sunlight as his brain processed what he just saw.

"There you have it, Duan Tian. Time's up."

She wasted no time in putting back on her shades and then a nice smirk appeared on her face. "Long time no see. I wish I had never crossed paths with you today," Li Jing said frankly.

"Li Jing!"

"Miss me?"

"Li Jing, you. It was you all along?"

"Who else would it be dimwit?"
