815  Forgotten Birthday

****************

CHAPTER 814 Having agreed to help Aiden help out in preparation for Yin Lifen's birthday celebration, Li Jing could not wait to get started. She had never been so excited before.

She wanted to make sure everything went smoothly, especially since this was the first time she would be involved in such an elaborate affair for her best friend.

"Jing, are you ready yet? We're waiting for you!"

"Coming, coming," she called out, rushing down the stairs.

"Good morning, Li Jing," Lin Xuilan greeted her from where she stood at the entrance.

"Aunt!" Li Jing exclaimed as she hurried downstairs to hug her grandaunt.

Being one of the influencial ladies in the city, it was no news that Lin Xuilan was an epic event planner.

Knowing that, Li Jing decided to make good use of the opportunity to get the best for her friend.

They two ladies pulled from the hug, their smile reaching their eyes.

"Are you ready?" Lin Xuilan asked, her bright eyes searching Li Jing's body to be sure she wasn't missing anything.

"Yes, Aunt."

"Good. Where is Ye Cheng?" "He is in his study."

"Oh let's not bother him then. Come let us head out. The earlier the better. The birthday is in two days time right?"

Li Jing nodded as both ladies turned towards the exist and left the house.

********

On the other hand only Yin Lifen remained oblivious to the plans being made for her.

Soon it was already the D-day and Li Jing got busy as usual, failing to call Yin Life about her birthday. An act that left the young lady sad.

Way before then, she knew everyone was busy but when her birthday cake and no one bothered to wish her well only a few persons did.

Letting out a deep sigh, Yin Lifen slouched on the chair in the salon where she went to style her hair.

She reached into her jumpsuit short, taking out her phone. She did not wish to assume anything and placed a call to Li Jing.

A few rings and the call connected with Li Jing's voice answering. "Fen Fen!" Her delighted voice greeted, bringing a somewhat warm smile to Yin Lifen's face.

Howbeit, rather than the supposed words she thought her best would utter, Li Jing voiced a different matter entirely.

"How are you dear?"

"I'm fine now that you spoke to me," Yin Lifen responded. She shut her eyes briefly, thinking of how best to drop her words. "I was thinking about going somewhere for..."

"I'm sorry I can't be on the phone for too long, work is really tasking right now, Fen Fen. Please can we do this some other time?" Li Jing interjected.

"Some other..." Yin Lifen swallowed her words and nodded. "It is fine. Whenever you are free. Feel free to holla at me, okay?"

"Sure. Thanks. Have a good day." The call disconnected leaving a shocked Yin Lifen to herself. Her lips hung open. This was the first time since she knew Li Jing that the latter had actually forgotten her birthday. It made her heart ache just thinking about it but being the understanding friend that she was, Yin Lifen wondered if letting her friend get too entangled with work to clear her mind from her mother was the right thing to do.

She breathed out sharply and placed her phone back into her pocket.

'How can I have a wonderful day when even my best friend has failed to recall my birthday? I can't even count on Jia Huang now. He's been so busy and flew out of the country two days agao. I bet he is in one meeting or the other.' She voiced inwardly. She rose from her chair, admired her reflection in the mirror even though she knew deep down she had no reason to celebrate but the last thing she needed was anyone catching on quickly to what was going on with her.

She paid for the services and returned home in her car. At once she headed inside her house, slouching on the chair as she let her mind go in deep thought. A couple of minutes passed and she rose back up, this time more determined than before. 'If no one is celebrating my day with me, I might as well just go clubbing, catch one naughty prey to taunt, dance and leave them hanging.' she thought. Having finalized her decision, Yin Lifen headed for her room, walked over to the closet and pulled out an outfit, one she hadn't worn since Jia Huang gifted it to her.

She took a step forward, looking up to see her image reflected once more. She was a woman who epitomized elegance and allure.

 Her shimmering black gown was a masterpiece of fashion and a creation of art.

Its design was meticulous and|-³-

!!!flawless. It wasn't overly expensive, but it was a choice that spoke volumes about Yin Lifen's impeccable taste. Crafted from luxurious silk that seemed to caress her skin, the fabric flowed like liquid midnight, cascading down her lithe frame.

As she prepared to attend the club, she had undressed and slipped into the gown, feeling its softness against her skin like a lover's tender touch. The sensation was exquisite, a prelude to the night of glamour and intrigue that awaited her.

The dress accentuated her figure with expert precision, every seam and curve tailored to perfection. The neckline plunged daringly low, revealing a hint of cleavage that added a sultry edge to her appearance. The gown's bodice embraced her like a second skin, tracing the contours of her body with a sensuous grace. Around her waist, a slender belt adorned with shimmering gemstones added a touch of opulence to the ensemble, catching the light in a mesmerizing dance of radiance. The gown flowed down into a floor-length skirt, adding a rich vibe to it.

"This should be one heck of a birthday to celebrate. Yin Life time to show 'em whose boss."

Her lips curled up in an enchanting smile at the thought, another sick thrill coursing through her vein.
