TRUST ME NOT

CHAPTER 11

After two days, Zhulin's ankle healed, yet she still couldn't walk properly.

It's Friday morning and Zhulin got so bored staying at home. Carefully, she limped toward the kitchen where Aunt Qing cooked.

"Eh, why do you come here? You should rest more, Mrs. Come sit down." Aunt Qing helped Zhulin to sit on the chair before giving her a cup of water.

"I'm so bored. Let me help you." She said pulling the basket of vegetable to her. Aunt Qing smiled and gave her a knife.

"Although I just come her a few day, I can see that you're active and smart so it must be depressed to stay still for days." Aunt Qing said.

"So depressed, Auntie. I wished I was at my workplace right now."

"Mr. Wang would be mad if you were there." She teased knowing how strict he was with her during those days.

"I hate him." She pouted and Aunt Qing chuckled.

"It's because he worries about you."

"Auntie, I want to go out and please don't tell Yibo, ok? I just want to meet my friend and I will be back early before he comes home." She made a pleading face and Aunt Qign shook her head. Zhulin pouted before getting up. Secretly, she changed into causal outfit and sneaked out of the apartment. She finished all of her assignment, got nothing to do so it's great to meet Jia and talked her heart out with her best friend.

"It feels like forever Jia-ah. I really need a good talk with you, my bestie." Zhulin came running with her awkward move toward Jia and the one who was clinked chuckled.

"Miss me this much, huh? I guess, your husband doesn't treat you well." Jia teased pushing her friend away.

"Not right! He treats me too well, way too well. And I can't stress enough about that." Zhulin rambled sitting on the couch.

"Why? It makes you uncomfortable?"

"Nope...it's just...I'm not used to it yet."

"Eh, aren't you supposed to be working right now? Why so free?" Instead of giving an answer, Zhulin rolled her pants up to show her injured ankle.

"Oh my, what happened?"

"It's a long story and I'm going to report every single things." Zhulin stretched her words as Jia looked at her, terrifying. And the girls spent time chatting about their past week.

"So...you meant...you and Wang Yibo are in good term now?" Jia confirmed and Zhulin nodded sheepishly.

"Then, we'll be able to celebrate good news soon."

"Yah!"

"Auntie and uncle will be very happy for that."

"Stop!" And before Jia could teased more Zhulin's phone rang. She took it out from her bag and widened her eyes.

"Who?" Jia asked as she noticed her friend's terrible expression. Zhulin looked like she about to cry as she looked at the contact name 'Bossy Wang'.

"Why?"

"I didn't tell him that I come here."

"So what?"

"You don't understand." Zhulin shook her head. She didn't pick up his call and let it ended.

"Since when you become this obedient, Lin?" Jia giggled as Zhulin glared at her with embarrassment.

"Not sure. Maybe, I'm just feeling guilty."

"Really?"

"Jia, I find you really need a beating right now."
