Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 154 Mommy's little boy

"Yes, I'm fine." Liam raised his brows but said nothing.

"So….how are things with that girl?" Ying Sheng inquired.

"What girl?" Liam asked with a confused frown marred on his face.

"The one you were going to ask out but saw her hugging another guy."

Liam froze for a moment, before replying to her.

"Oh….ahhh good I guess."

Ying Sheng narrowed her eyes but said nothing.

"Aren't you going to school today?" Liam asked, trying to change the subject. He didn't want to talk about the mystery girl with Ying Sheng because he was afraid he would slip and tell her that she was the one he was talking about.

He didn't want to risk their friendship since it just started and she was starting to open up to him. One day when the time is right, he would tell her.

"I'm not going back to that school. Why should I waste my time studying a course I totally hate. I would rather sleep with my time."

Liam flashed a soft smile and nodded in understanding.

"So what do you want to do now?"

Ying Sheng shrugged, "I don't know honestly. Now I would take one step at a time. I would focus on my cousin-in-law's jewellery launch and see if anything would interest me."

"What was your favorite subject in high school?" Liam suddenly asked.

Ying Sheng bit her lips as her brows knitted.

"I'm pretty smart. I was on top of my class in the states actually. I thought as long as I did well my parents would be proud of me and notice me but I guess they didn't really care." Ying Sheng said nonchalantly. Her parents were a sour topic for her and she hated talking about them.

Liam smiled warmly at her but he said nothing waiting for her to continue.

"But I liked maths though. It seems like numbers and I get kinda along.

"Then why don't you study accounting?"

Ying Sheng scrunched her face in thought.

"Yeah but I have other interests but I'm afraid people would laugh at me if I tell them."

"Oh? What interest do you have I promise I won't laugh at you. So tell me."

Ying Sheng grinned, "My own coffee shop and bakery. There would be a glass display of cookies and cakes baked with my special recipes. I want people's day to brighten or mood to get better when they eat from my coffee shop. It would be cozy where families can just hang out with their kids. Also I even want to sell ice cream there if possible Stupid right….?

Ying Sheng busted into laughter as she said.

A boyish grin formed on Liam's face, "No. It isn't. You can do it. You can take accounting class and part time culinary class to sharpen your skills. By the time you finish school you can have all the necessary skills to open your coffee shop."

"You think so?"

Liam nodded, "You can make a name for yourself and proved to yourself and others that you don't need them to survive. You're a survivor on your own."

Ying Sheng's eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at Liam with wide eyes. Before she could think of it further she leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss on Liam's cheeks.

"Thank you, Liam for believing in me." Ying Sheng said softly.

With a faint flush on his cheeks, Liam smiled softly at her and sipped his coffee.

"Can you help me with the admission process?" Ying Sheng asked Liam.

"Hmm. Alright."

"I don't want a high class school. A low key school where no one knows me would be much better."

"Alright."

After breakfast, Ying Sheng went to take a shower and changed into a pair of skinny jeans and black shirt paired with a red stiletto.She stared at herself in the mirror clearly she was a little nervous about the photo shoot.

She didn't want to disappoint Yan Mei so she had watched videos about models and how to pose in front of a camera.

She had never thought about having a model career because of the strictness in the industry.

You need to starve yourself to look a certain way or fake your way of living in front of the camera.

Ying Sheng blew out air and tried to convince herself she can do this but deep down she was failing miserably.

"Ying Sheng are you done?!" Liam's voice broke her out of her thoughts.

"Yes, I'm coming." Liam had offered to drop her off, since today is a big day for her.

Ying Sheng couldn't help but be grateful if she had a friend like Liam. If she didn't meet him, maybe she wouldn't be alive today.

She walked out of the room and saw Liam waiting for her in the living room. She has to admit, he was really handsome with his good boy aura and gentleness.

He was the perfect prince charming in girls' fantasies. Too bad she doesn't believe in fairytales. She has experienced the harsh reality of life to believe in those things.

Liam stood up from the couch and smiled at her.

"Are you nervous for your first official job?" He asked as a boyish grin graced his face.

Ying Sheng nodded.

"Yeah, I'm afraid I'm going to mess this up."

Liam shook his head and strode towards her.

He grabbed her shoulders,"Take a deep breath. Inhale, exhale."

Ying Sheng did as he said.

"Now, just believe in yourself. Remember you're your own greatest cheerleader in life. Just go there and be yourself. I'm sure you would do great. Fighting?"

Ying Sheng chuckled and nodded.

"Fighting!"

Liam broke into a smile. Ying Sheng couldn't help but also smile.

"I didn't know you watch Korean dramas." Ying Sheng commented as they walked towards Liam's car.

"I don't really. I accompany my mother to watch once a while."

"Aww mommy's little boy aren't you?"

Liam blushed and shook his head. Opening the car door for her.
