Please Feel at Ling Mr. Ling
I do not own the story Please feel at Ease Mr. Ling. I am only writing for entertainment purposes. This is truly fiction.
If you have not seen the show past episode 7-8 I would beware of spoilers.
Although I love this couple together I did not think I could forgive Ling Yue so easily as Anxin did. On these points:
Point Number 4. While He did make up for it in the financial department she was very stressed for a long time about money and he is constantly causing trouble in the beginning making her have to work overtime x5.
Although I love this story and Ling Yue I have thought too much about if I would forgive him or at least so easily. What if Anxin found out about his secret earlier on? How would it change the dynamic?
Please Feel at Ease Mr. Ling Chapter 4
Anxin was relieved yet confused when she opened the door to a package. The courier said it was express service. Her puzzlement grew as she opened it to find a thermos full of hot steaming food. It was from Ling Yue according to the card and only read "Please just take it. Nourishment is important. Know I'm thinking of you." She immediately heard his voice in her head.. "From now on I will cook for you everyday." Anxin tried to ignore it and looked around in her kitchen for something different to make, but nothing looked this good and was ready. Plus the food scent made her even more hungry from when she had opened it. It wasn't as if she felt like going anywhere right now. Anxin rationalized it would be a waste to get rid of it. It was only food. It didn't have to mean she was forgiving him...Afterwards with her stomach filled Anxin tried to ignore the guilt nagging at her that she had accepted his food. She tries to distract herself with art both on her computer and in her sketchbook but she can't concentrate. She tries to clean but her apartment is fine. Finally Anxin gives up and goes for a walk. The fresh air is nice. She needed to get out of the apartment for a bit. Now she just needs some perspective so she pulls out her phone.
"Youyou can come over? I need you." Anxin asks nervously wondering if she is ready for this. She fortifies herself; she needs to get this out of her own head. To someone who has seen him when he is Eightie with her and can hear about what happened to decide what to do. "I am coming now." Youyou asks no questions and Anxin loves her for that. Anxin is startled a while later by some odd thumping sounds and opens her door to find Youyou with a very large bag. Youyou had apparently dragged it up the stairs. Anxin smiles and raises her eyebrows at her friend. Youyou smiles and with a flourish shows her all the snacks, funny movies and wine that her friend brought causing Anxin to laugh. Youyou just shrugs. "I figured I should be prepared for everything. Is Eightie here?" Anxin sighs. "That's the thing... I sort of kicked him out."
"You what!" Youyou cries. She shakes her head muttering. "Gu Anxin...kicking out the man who she hit with a scooter...we are going to need to start the wine for this. I can tell." Youyou declares. Anxin laughs. "We do...Oh Youyou where to begin , but know it was terrible." They get the white wine open, pour it in glasses and sit in the chair. "Now tell me everything." Youyou declares sipping. Anxin takes a sip from hers. It should be chilled but it will have to do. Anxin sighs. "He lied to me. About everything!" "Everything!" Youyou echoes. "What a jerk!" Anxin nods and continues. " I found a folder and by accident... I swear by accident, don't get ideas.." Anxin states giving Youyou a look at her friends raised eyebrows. "The folders contents fell out. He looked so nervous like he was about to be pulled over by a cop. I didn't understand but on the paper...he researched my family Youyou." Youyou's eyebrows drew together in thought. "Well...I could see doing that...wait, which family?" Anxin gave her a look. "My Father."
Youyou's look of shock did not disappoint. "Did he explain?" She asks quickly. Anxin paused sipping from her wine. "Eightie is the missing son of that famous Ling family. He didn't really forget his memory. He claims someone was trying to kill him so he was hiding out with me. He thinks it was his brother." Anxin pauses to catch her breath before the next part. "According to Mr. Ling...my mother's death makes me the sole inheritor of 5% of shares in the company. Fate definitely has a sense of humor because he had been looking for me anyways and to think I hit him." Youyou almost looked ready to spill her wine. "Anxin! Is your life a movie now? That is so unreal." Youyou can't help but comment. "I know. There is more." "More?" Youyou cries. Anxin nods.
Youyou nods solemnly. "My friend, you need more wine in you if this is only the beginning." Anxin sighs. "Give me a moment..." Youyou sits up impatiently. "But Anxiiin" Youyou complains, stretching out her name. " This wine needs to be chilled. Let me get some ice and I may have a few berries I can put in...Wait a moment!" Anxin orders. Youyou sighs. "Gu Axim you are right but hurry! I am dying to know what else."
When Anxin returns, Youyou looks sad. " This all must be terribly confusing for you. I am sorry if I seem I am watching a dramatic show, I am here for you." Youyou grabs Anxin hand which touches her heart. "I know. I don't mind, it is unbelievable I know. Thank you for being there my friend." Youyou smiles sadly. They silently fix their drinks with the ice cubes and berries. Anxin takes a sip. "Better?" Youyou asks. Axim nods and sighs. "He says that at first it was all about me backing him to become President of the company. The money I owed him, living here ,he wanted to find out what sort of person I was. Convince me to side with him...but then.." Anxin trails off. "But then?" Youyou asks intrigued.
"He says that he really likes me. That ever since the flooding incident he hasn't cared about the shares and Mr. Ling wants another chance and for me to forgive him but Youyou..." She takes a long sip and breath...then starts again fast. "I'm so mixed up. I'm angry that I could have been in danger but he says he had people keep me a secret but still.. I'm still stung about the money and the trouble he caused for no reason and angry he lied..." Youyou rubs her back sympathetically. "And... worst of all Youyou I miss Eightie a lot. I don't know this Mr. Ling but Eightie...we fought at first but we were..we were..." Anxin stammered as the dam broke and her crying came and she couldn't stop.
Youyou comforts her friend immediately and hugs her telling her everything will be okay. Anxin normally doesn't let her guard down but she is so mixed up and confused. "I don't know what we were but we were maybe on the way to something. Only really Mr. Ling was probably only wanting the shares and it was all fake. I asked if he was planning on ever telling me and he says he was but how can I believe him Youyou? He lied for so long about who he was. He says he's the same person only with a different job but to use me like that..." Anxin shudders and takes another sip of wine.
It felt good to have it out. Almost all. "I wonder though...some of our moments felt so real.. I feel so betrayed and hurt and I don't trust him. " She sighs. Youyou hugs her friend. "What a lying scoundrel! I can't believe that was all one day." Anxin nods and leans against her friend suddenly exhausted. "What are you going to do? I don't like how he seems like a playboy." Youyou asks carefully. Anxin ignores that comment. " I will still pay him back because of the contract. I am sure now that I know he will lose interest. He will find some other girl to bother with his fake charm." Anxin said. "Are you sure? Is he the type to give up?" Youyou asks dubiously. "It sounds as if he is very committed..." Anxin shrugged. " I don't know anything about him after all I found out. I know I won't back him..I don't know the company, but they deserve someone honest. After Mr. Ling sees I won't help him I won't be of any use to him. It will take a long time to pay him back but until then..." "Unless..." Youyou suggested suddenly thinking out loud. "What if you did back him?" Anxin grabbed a pillow and hit her with it without warning. "Youyou! Are you crazy? Why would I do that.."Listen to me" Youyou insisted...
A few days later Anxin still felt nervous. She was going to use YouYou's plan only as a last resort: To offer to back Mr. Ling as President of his fathers company in order to have him leave her alone. She hadn't wanted to but before Youyou had left he had sent her more food (which she couldn't resist but eat but she would die before telling anyone). She also felt mixed emotions that today a package of lights had come in from him. They were nice looking solar stick on lights to make it easy to put them anywhere. The note simply read "Please use these to help yourself feel at ease." When Anxin had read that she had almost dropped the box. She hadn't known what to do with it so she shoved it away in the closet. On the one hand she was still angry at him. Didn't he understand that she simply wanted to be left alone? The other part of her was touched but nervous that he knew her so well. Anxin had distracted herself at work but couldn't help pondering everything her head as she walked home.
Now Anxin saw him walking towards her house ahead of her. Mr. Ling looked unfairly handsome in a grey suit and tie, all buttoned and polished and his hair fixed properly. He also had a large shopping bag on his wrist but she couldn't tell where it was from. It was strange seeing him all dressed up. She had thought he was handsome when he was Eightie, which hadn't helped when she had been angry at him so that hadn't changed. Thankfully he was busy on the phone and didn't see Anxin staring. She shook herself. Anxin you have to focus she told herself. Mr. Ling was probably talking to Ai Li but what if he wasn't?
Anxin stopped in her tracks and quietly turned her phone off in case he was texting or calling her as her phone beeping would alert him to how near she was. She stayed silent and went another way. She wondered how long he would wait there. Surely Youyou had to be wrong and he was only interested in her because of the shares and so would leave soon. Why else would Mr. Ling, prince of the huge company be hanging around her, a simple courier. Anxin walked around the park and got dinner out at the convenience store an easy thing to prepare. When she got back Mr. Ling was still there. It has been over half an hour. Anxin sighed. Time to get it over with she thought..
