Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 158 What are friends for?

"Oh," Ying Sheng said nonchalantly.

"It's nice to see Liam care for a girl. He must really like you!" Dong Yishan said while glancing at Ying Sheng with a smile on her face.

No. It's not true. How can Liam like her when she was a mess. She was sure no one would want a broken girl like her. Also, Liam likes another person.

Suddenly Ying Sheng arched her brows. Can Dong Yishan be the girl Liam likes? After all, she knew how it was like to be in unrequited love.

Ying Sheng flinched at the thought that the girl might be Dong Yishan.

"No, Liam already likes somebody else. Also, I have someone I like."

"He likes someone?" Dong Yishan asked as she parked the car into the parking shot.

Ying Sheng shrugged ignoring her question and got out of the car. They walked into the huge mall and they made their way to the clothes store.

***********

Ying Sheng was growing seriously bored. It's been two hours of nonstop picking of clothes and trying it on. Ying Sheng had no idea of the clothes Dong Yishan picked. Her head was literally buried on her phone the all time. Letting Dong Yishan picked the clothes.

Now she was fucking tired and the girl was still adamant about buying lots of clothes. Ying Sheng didn't understand some women obsession about shopping. Why go through all these hassles?!

Dong Yishan had made them buy from lot of stores all kinds of designer brand and now they were holding tons of bags. Ying Sheng kept looking around.

She felt her image would be destroyed if someone saw her holding shopping bags.

"Can we now eat? I would faint any moment from hunger." Ying Sheng said faking exhaustion.

"Fine, let's take a few break and continue later." Dong Yishan said.

Did this crazy woman say and continue later? Ying Sheng took a deep breath and nodded her head. She was afraid she might snapped at her.

The few hours she has spent with Dong Yishan she realized she was really a sweet girl.

They entered a cafe not far from the current store they were and ordered what they wanted to eat.

Ying Sheng tapped her feet impatiently as they waited for their food to arrive. The food arrived a few minutes and she dug in.

"So tell me about yourself, Ying Sheng. You seem like an interesting person."

Ying Sheng looked up at Dong Yishan and saw her eyes flickering with curiosity.

"You don't really know me?" Ying Sheng asked surprised. This is the first time she has met someone from high society who doesn't know her.

From her conversation she learned that Dong Yishan comes from a family of miners. Her family dealt with everything that women loved.

From diamond, gold, bauxite, gemstones. Name it. So they were really rich but surprisingly she was too sweet and humble to be from a rich home.

Ying Sheng wondered where Liam met such wealthy friends. First his friend owned one of the most expensive restaurant in town and the other was the heiress of a mining empire.

"No? Sorry but I traveled to Australia a few years ago. I just came back." Dong Yishan said looking at Ying Sheng.

"Hmm. " Ying Sheng finally understood why she didn't know her.

"Nothing interesting about me at all. I'm just the monster parents tell their kids to hide away from."

Ying Sheng said flatly hoping she wouldn't push the subject.

"Are you serious? Or you are joking again?" Ying Sheng smirked at her.

"What do you think?"

"Oh, I think you're such an cool person and also beautiful at the same time. I totally love your tattoo!"

Ying Sheng froze at her words. She was flattered by her compliment because everyone looks at her with disgust when they see her tattoo and the way she dresses.

"Thank you?" Ying Sheng said more in the form of a question. She didn't know what else to say.

"Don't thank me Ying Sheng. What are friends for?" She said with a warm smile.

'Did she just say friends?' Ying Sheng doesn't remember the last time she had a female friend. Maybe she hung out with some bad girls at the club and smoke with them but she never considered those people as friends.

Ying Sheng said nothing and focused on her food. Once they were done shopping, they went back to the mall to buy a few things which Dong Yishan said were for her mother.

Ying Sheng decided to wait for her at the car park since she was definitely bored with all these shopping. When she was loading her things in the car she suddenly froze.

She saw a man touching the back of a pregnant woman with a soft smile on his face. They were coming from a kid mall opposite the mall Dong Yishan was.

Ying Sheng felt like her whole world was crushing. No, this can't be. 'Dad?'

How can it be her father? He was always on a busy trip so how can he get the time to accompany a pregnant woman for shopping?

Ying Sheng eyes followed them, she was still in denial until she saw her father's assistant coming out of the mall holding bags. Her face pale and she clutched her fist.

"Ying Sheng are you okay?" Dong Yishan voice snapped Ying Sheng out of her thoughts.

"Yes, let's go"

Through the car ride, Dong Yishan realized Ying Sheng was in a bad mood so she didn't say anything. She speed the car and in a few minutes they arrived.

When they came inside, Liam wasn't around.

So they carried the bags to Ying Sheng's room.

Dong Yishan pulled Ying Sheng into a tight hug before pulling away.

"If you need someone to talk to, just call me. I had fun today!"

Ying Sheng nodded absentmindedly. She walked her downstairs and saw Liam was on the couch.

"Okay, my mom called and I need to go. Have fun you two."

Dong Yishan said before walking out for the door.

"I'm tired I'm going to sleep." Ying Sheng said.

"Wait, did you have fun?" Ying Sheng forced out a smile and nodded.

"Yes, thank you Liam. I really appreciate it."

Liam's phone vibrated and he saw it was a message from Dong Yishan.

"I don't know what happened, but Ying Sheng seemed to be in a bad mood. Talk to her."

Liam narrowed his eyes.

"Did something happened when you went for the shopping?" He questioned making Ying Sheng froze.

She shook her head and avoided Liam's gaze. historical

"Don't lie Ying Sheng. We promised not to lie to each other. If you don't want to talk about it. I totally understand."

Liam walked towards her and Ying Sheng felt a soft hands touched the side of her cheeks but it wasn't in an agressive way

Liam was caressing her cheeks. Ying Sheng avoided his gaze.

"Ying Sheng…." Liam called her softly.

This time Ying Sheng looked at him and saw his eyes softened.

I will tell you later but now I want to be alone."

Liam flashed her smile and nodded.

"Alright. Remember to call me if you think-"

"I would. Thanks Liam."

Ying Sheng said and walked back to her room.
