Destined to be his Wife

Chapter 36 -LinnyBoo

ZhengLi was glad of the early night and headed off shortly after YuZhi did, mind on plans for tonight as he scrolled his WeChat to check in on Linlin and see if she had uploaded any posts this evening. If he knew she was out and about he would drop on by and see her after too long apart. It had been an endless quiet week without her and try as he wanted to deny it, he was more than aware he had more than average fondness for his little hell cat.

ZhengLi, got home and showered in record time. Checking his cell multiple times for a response from his earlier texts to ask her if she wanted to meet up, and her location posts on her profiles but Linlin was still blanking him. He had no idea why she was being this stubborn and if it was because she wanted him to chase her. If it was then it was working. Her lack of response was making him crazy.

After drying off and getting dressed into casual but smart attire and a leather bomber jacket he gave up stalking her social media and phone YuZhi instead.

"Dude, get TangShi to ask Linlin where she is tonight. She's ignoring me." He admired himself in the mirror as he finessed his newly styled hair, checking out his sharp appearance and put his car keys in his pocket. He was intent on tracking her down, energized with the fact he was free to party, and sorting this out face to face to end this silent standoff. He didn't want to waste his time running around looking when he could be spending it with her instead.

"I already know where she is because she dropped by to see us about twenty minutes ago. She's heading to Le Baron on Donghu road with some friends. If you're quick you can catch up." YuZhi was eating dinner with TangShi and had no intention of either of them going out like Linlin asked. They were having quality time at home.

"You're the man. Enjoy your evening with TangShi. See you at work tomorrow."

ZhengLi hung up, smiling to himself and splashed on a little of his designer aftershave with one last look over his outfit and out he went. Focused on his task and stubborn about seeing her tonight to figure out why she was still sulking.

He abandoned her mid date, sure; he then worked like a maniac for the last two weeks and didn't have time for her before he was forced on a date to a public event. Something as a daughter of a wealthy family she should understand. He couldn't work out why she had gone cold, blanked him and refused to respond to any of his messages on any platform the last couple of days. He knew he should have contacted her and played Romeo a little, but this weird battle they had going on dictated it was her turn to chase, so he hadn't.

Why she ghosted him over the event and then bailed and never showed up at all, was perplexing him. Date or not he had intended to ditch her to go be with Linlin and get rid of whatever guy she brought. They weren't even a real thing but friends, who kissed, with the possibility of more but he still would rather hang out with her than any other girl he knew.

As he got into his sports car his cell started vibrating and he yanked it out in hopes she had finally caved, seeing one of his friends names flashing on screen and it deflated his optimism.

"Yo, Jie, what's up?" He absentmindedly started his car and adjusted his seatbelt.

"Where you at? A bunch of us are going to Dream, you wanna come?" Jie was buzzing for a good night out and ZhengLi was always the soul of any party.

"Make it Le Baron and I will." ZhengLi smirked to himself in his rear-view mirror and pulled out, pushing his phone into the cradle so it activated his hands free.

"Really? Cool. There's maybe five of us but two more of the girls will come if they know you are. You won't have a problem getting a hook up that's for sure." Jie was busy waving a thumbs up at his current group of friends signaling ZhengLi was coming, and just as predicted the two girls who had been undecided shot up and grinned with excitement.
