Han Sen couldn't stop his heart from beating fast. He had a feeling that something big was going to happen between Zheng Tianyi and Jiang Xiuying.
" Do you think they would be alright in the same office together? " He asked wearily. He knew his boss had a bit of temper but as for Jiang Xiuying, he couldn't say the same. If she had even half of the tempore of his boss, it could lead to a big fight." Hey, calm down. They can't be as unreasonable as you are. They are adults and would sort out their differences amicably. " Shancai shrugged nonchalantly. She had worked for her boss long enough to know how she does her things. If her thought wasn't wrong, Jiang Xiuying would try to make a bet or something with him that he would be unable to refuse.* * * *
" President Zheng, I really apologize for my outburst earlier. You know, I'm not usually like that. I am a very friendly and easy going person. As an apology, I will grant you the permission to ask me three questions. I promise to try my best to reply truthfully " Jiang Xiuying coquettishly blinked her eyes hoping to appease him.
" Okay. Let's get started." Zheng Tianyi wanted to try to find out the information that he was unable to get even after running an extensive background check on her.
"Hn" Jiang Xiuying adjusted herself on the chair earnestly waiting for his first question.
Zheng Tianyi glanced at the little boy sleeping on the couch. " Why does your son look so much like me?" This was the question that had been playing on his mind since he first sighted the cute little boy yawning with his little hands covering his mouth. He felt like he was seeing his younger self in a mirror.'' Really?" Jiang Xiuying asked feigning ignorance. Seeing the look on his face, she laughed loudly her eyes twinkling in excitement. "Now that you ask, I also think so. How come I haven't notice at all." Her face switched back to seriousness again. " President Zheng, do you believe in fate? I think its fate that brought us together and also Yuxuan judging from how he looks exactly like you. I as a mother didn't even notice it but an outsider of all people had to tell me."
" What fate? It is only a coincidence" Zheng Tianyi frowned slightly.
Jiang Xiuying smiled. She successfully evaded his question. "Next question please "
" When were you planning to tell me about Yuxuan? "
Jiang Xiuying massaged her forehead and sighed. " You must be really interested in my son" She said with a little smile dancing on her lips.
Zheng Tianyi glared at her and she raised her hands surrendering to him.
" Alright I will be serious now." She dropped her hands down with a serious face.
" I was planning to tell you about Yuxuan after we get married because he won't let you get married to me thinking that I would be stolen away from him. He has some insecurities you know?"
Zheng Tianyi gazed at his carbon copy with different emotions getting stirred up in his mind."Your next....." Jiang Xiuying was interrupted by her phone that was vibrating in her mini leather bag.♪How shall we long for ♪♪Where we are going ♪
♪No matter how frustrating it can be ♪
♪You are my soulmate ♪
♪No matter how frustrating it can be ♪
♪My love for you won't change ♪
"Aish..... why is he calling me at this moment?" Jiang Xiuying mumbled seeing the caller's name on the screen of her phone. She shook her head and returner the phone into her mini leather bag. She raised her head and saw Zheng Tianyi narrowed his eyes at her.
" Huh? "
" Are you also a fan of Yeonnie? " Zheng Tianyi asked skeptically. It's been five years since he has been a very big fan of hers'. It was only a pity that she was an anonymous singer whose face was known to none.
"That's your third and last question " Jiang Xiuying smiled. " Yes, I'm also a fan of Yeonnie. I'm very surprised a cold person like you enjoys listening to love songs " She felt her heart bursting in excitement hearing that he loved all of the songs sung by her. Her mood improved significantly.
"Beep beep" Jiang Xiuying's phone beeped. She offered him an apologetic smile and checked the screen of her phone thinking it would be important.
Lu Beichen : [ Since you didn't agree to pick my call, I already sent the video to you. See it for yourself ]
Jiang Xiuying clicked on the message and saw the video attachment he sent along with his message.
The video was only five seconds but it meant a lot to Jiang Xiuying. She quickly sprang up from where she was and headed for the door. Something occurred to her then she turned and looked at Zheng Tianyi.
"Yuxuan would be in your care till I return. I will send his belongings to your house and also his daily routine. I have a flight to catch. See ya" She briskly walked out of the office.
"Book the earliest flight for me" She ordered Shancai as she walked past her.
Her assistant didn't need to be told twice as she quickly did as she was told.Shancai couldn't help but wonder what happened between Zheng Tianyi and her boss that warrants Jiang Xiuying wanting to leave China as soon as possible.
" Miss, what about Yuxuan? " Shancai asked carefully. She was dying from curiosity.
" Let's go to the airport. I don't need to carry any of my belongings. " Jiang Xiuying entered the car without bothering to answer her assistant that didn't know her current mood.
On the way to the airport, Jiang Xiuying kept on playing the five seconds video. It felt so surreal seeing the twitching finger of the pale little girl laying on the large sick bed with different machines connected to her body.
"It's been two years now" Jiang Xiuying said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes and very soon,she began sobbing quietly holding on to her phone like it a very precious item.
Yuxuan woke up not long after Jiang Xiuying left. He saw himself in an unfamiliar place. Rubbing his eyes, he tried to recalled how he got there.= Flashback begins=" Hey, you must be Shancai right. I saw something glowing from afar and thought the lights were on. I never knew you were the one glowing like a diamond " Han Sen approached Shancai with a jovial smile.Using the opportunity that Shancai was being distracted by Han Sen, he walked through the quiet hallway. Since it was empty, he didn't have any problem. He couldn't help but think the interior of Caomei Entertainment was very similar to that of his Uncle's.He sighted some staffs that entered the elevator so he followed them and wasn't noticed for his small height. The staffs went ahead to the Liu Li's office and he used the opportunity to enter Zheng Tianyi's office.Zheng Tianyi's seat was very comfortable that Yuxuan slept off without knowing.= Flashback endsYuxua
It was already 6:00pm the normal time for the staff's of Caomei Entertainment to get off work if their President was in a good mood. Some of the staffs had got off work leaving the rest who still waited voluntarily to complete their unfinished works.Zheng Tianyi led Yuxuan out of his office to the special elevator only meant for him. At the underground parking lot, Han Sen stood straight beside the Rolls Royce with his arms placed at his front. Seeing his boss and the little version of the boss, he opened the back seat of the car for the two of them to enter.Zheng Tianyi whispered something to Han Sen before helping Yuxuan into the car and entering himself.Han Sen was very quick to act fast on the instruction given by his boss. Yuxuan needed to be protected thus the elite bodyguards needed to be multiplied and stationed around them rather the low key protection Zheng Tianyi always moves around with." Where would you like to eat?" Zheng Tianyi asked Yu
Mr. Ming was already thinking about how more people would flood his restaurant if he should release the piece of news to the media. He was just your typical greedy man that could do anything for money even with how rich he already was.He could have released the news but he knew better than to allow his years of hard work go down the drain. He would surely be the first to be suspected which would mean a big goodbye to his business.Luckily for him, he was rational enough to think about the outcome of messing with the Golden King of the entertainment industry.* * * * =One of the private rooms=" Li Shang, do you think Ah Yi is coming? It's already getting late " Zhou Kexin said looking at Li Shang's face." Oh....that, I called him but he said he had some works to take care of " Li Shang lied. He didn't put a call across Zheng Tianyi at all." Ahh...I see " Zhou Kexin slowly nodded feeling downhearted. She wouldn't ha
" Butler Yim, prepare a room for this child. It should be filled with necessities that you think he would need" Zheng Tianyi ordered as he entered the house. Just like butler Yim, the three maids on night duty were also equally surprised but couldn't show it on their faces as they have been professionally trained. They just carried on with their duties keeping on a straight face." Hey, did you see Master Zheng just now?" One of the maids asked as soon as Zheng Tianyi disappeared." Of course. Who was that little boy he carried? " The second maid asked looking equally surprised." Could that be his secret son? Thinking about how he once disappeared for a year. It's possible he was married '' The first maid replied placing her hand on hr chin.The third maid approached them and whispered, " Didn't you hear that Master Zheng is unable to do that ' thing ' again after his accident? That's the reason he hasn't being married given how old he is. No matter how
" How is Yutong? " Jiang Xiuying asked in English as she took a seat in front of Dr. Yukira.The Doctor removed the glasses he was putting on and moved his chair closer to the table." I will be frank with you, it's a miracle that her fingers twitched. The poison in her body has already stop spreading further. Since we are still unable to detect the kind of poison in her body, we can only continue to monitor her for now. Hopefully, if she continues responding to treatment and the poison doesn't spread she might regain her consciousness very soon " Dr. Yukira informed as he reclined on his chair.Jiang Xiuying nodded in understanding. If the poison doesn't spread to her heart, she might be able to regain consciousness but if it spreads, they might have to prepare for the worst. She felt a lump in her throat that made her unable to question the Doctor any further." Ms. Jiang, don't you think it's high time for you to drop the guilt you are feeling and visi
Jiang Xiuying stared at the name tag on the door for a while and placed her hand on the door knob. She was in deep thought that she didn't even realise Michael and Marcus were not guarding the room. She tried to open the door but couldn't bring herself to do it.Jiang Xiuying exhaled loudly and tried to open the door again but she met with a dead end.' Even my body is subconsciously refusing to see Yutong ' Jiang Xiuying thought sadly as she sat on the bench outside the ward." You don't have to force yourself. It's okay that you already made an attempt to see her " Lu Beichen strolled towards her and sat beside her." I guess" Jiang Xiuying replied tiredly combing her fingers through her hair." You should go home. Grandfather requested for your presence. "" Chairman Lu ? Did he say the reason? "" Nope. I guess you should leave now, he has a flight to catch in two hours " Lu Beichen looked at his wristwatch ." Alright. " S
Jiang Xiuying pulled the car over as she got to the front of an Hospital. She removed the earphones from her ear and looked above her right shoulder." You...." Jiang Xiuying intently stared at him. " You are Chinese right?" She asked speaking Mandarin Chinese.Si Feng slowly nodded his head. He removed the baseball cap he was wearing and tightly held on to it. There was no need to hide his face again. He sensed she didn't have any intention to hand him over to the police since her car was parked in front of an hospital." Why did you take that man's money? " Si Feng heard Jiang Xiuying's melodious voice in his ear. He raised his head up and was surprised by her beauty. She looked just like a goddess with her almond shaped eyes showing some sort of curiosity. Si Feng gulped twice to use his saliva to wet his suddenly dry throat." My mother is sick and I'm in need of money to buy her drugs." He replied with his head lowered down. He felt embarrassed that
Jiang Xiuying noticed a car parked in from of the hospital with a number plate that had the blue logo of the Lu Family. She knew at once that the car was there to pick her up. She got into the car and it zoomed off.Jiang Xiuying looked at the familiar residence of the Lumber family. With a smile on her face, she entered the large house." Young Miss " All of the maids she passed by respectfully greeted her which she only returned with a slight nod.She walked into her room and closed the door with a loud bang. All of the Children and grandchildren of Chairman Lu had a room that belonged to each of them. Jiang Xiuying was very tired and feeling jet lagged. She hurriedly took off her clothes and took a quick bath. She didn't know what Chairman Lu needed her for and she must be quick since his flight was in an hour time. She already spent an hour on the road.Jiang Xiuying settled on a black gown that flowed freely from her waist to down to her ankle.
