CHAPTER 05 - AN ANGEL IN A PERSON
Xi Song's POV
Looking at her, I saw her radiant grin as she flipped her hair back, which melted my heart. Her side profile was alluring.
I saw all her facial features until I got captured by Ms. Choi. "For what reason are you gazing at her, Dr. Song?"Coming back to my senses, I hacked. "What are you talking about, Ms. Choi?" Pressing her lips together, she controlled her chuckle as I just felt flustered. I observed her leaving as I discarded my leave and followed her. Stepping inside the room, she waved at that person as he left the spot. "What's happening with them?" I mumbled.Strolling ahead to the room, I stopped at the entrance as I eavesdropped on their conversation.Sitting down alongside the bed, she grinned. "Mr. Han, are you okay? How come you ended here?" Caressing her head, he expressed. "I'm okay, dear. You know my health is not well nowadays. But don't worry, okay?" Holding his hand, she answered in a stressed tone. "Why do I not stress over my dad? Mr. Han, you consider me your daughter. Why isn't the daughter stressed over her dad?"
He laughed at her answer as a grin shaped all over. "You are my actual little girl. Even though, not by blood, but by heart. You care about me more than my genuine child." With her clammy eyes, she looked down. "It's not true, Mr. Han. He cares about you a lot. I saw him praying for you when you were in the operation theater. He was blaming himself for everything. He is just not good at expressing." "I'm glad that my child will have somebody who can get him. Much thanks to you, Xingyue. I'm thankful that you picked my company to work for."A smile reached his eyes as Xi Song loosened up his body to the divider, feeling light tuning in about her. "So she is the universally adored angel," he mumbled, leaving the spot.Xingyue's POV
Walking down the corridor, I spotted Mr. Han sitting alone in the garden.
Flashing my eyes, I walked to them as I rested my arms on the top of the bench, staring at the sky. "I thought someone told me about going to buy medicines?" Flinching all over, he shifted his gaze as he let out a chuckle."You have a pleasant sense of humor, Xingyue." I smiled, still staring at the sky. "Afraid of facing your dad?" Biting his lips, he chuckled again. "You are good at guessing too."Taking my seat, I sat down beside him.A small star twinkling with light, mischievously squinting, said hello to me. All were like a sly pearl that adorned the dark blue night sky and was no less inferior to the bright moon."The stars are so beautiful today. It reminds me of my loved one. I miss those walks while holding my dad's hand. He was my lucky charm."
"I'm sorry, Xingyue." Smiling in pain, she sighed. "You know, parents are the luckiest for a kid. But it feels miserable when kids don't cherish them. I was close to my dad, and when he left me. He told me not to cry and be a strong pillar for my mom."Turning my head, I wiped my tears before they fell. "Do you know, whenever I miss my dad, I waved my hand to the sky as I felt he was still watching me from there."Placing a hand on my shoulder, he stared at the sky. "Don't worry, Uncle Li. I'm willing to take care of your daughter." Freezing for a while, I glanced at him, who was smiling as a smile formed on my lips.Lately, when we were talking, my phone buzzed, revealing mom's number.Picking the call, I placed it near my ear.Xingyue: Mom? What happened?
Mom: I heard from Xia Na that you are in hospital.
Shutting my eyes, I replied: Mom, I'm okay. Nothing happened to me--
Cutting my words off, she commanded.
Mom: That's good. I heard that Xi Song also works there as a surgeon.
Go visit him.Gritting my teeth, I was going to talk when she responded, tossing her enthusiastic dramatization at me.
Mom: If you love me, visit my son-in-law. I sent you his cabin details already. Be nice, okay? I'm hanging.Leaving me dumbfounded, she hung the call as I groaned.Author's POV
"What is wrong with you, Xingyue?" he asked with his concerned face as she shook her head. "Nothing, Mr. Han. I have to visit one of my friends, so I'm leaving. Go and talk to him, okay?" Humming as an answer, he smiled as she left the place, checking on my phone.
Walking in the corridor, she searched for his cabin. "Where is his cabin?"Searching for a while, she finally spotted a room with a number plate of 107. Placing her hands on the waist, she sighed exhaustedly. "Why is this cabin so last? Anyways, let's go inside." Without knocking, she pushed the door as she entered. Searching for him, she sat on the chair. "Seems like he is not here. I'll wait for a little while and then will leave." With this purpose, she rested her arms on the nearby table, glancing at the clock, waiting for him.Xi Song's POV
It was almost past ten when I walked to my cabin, totally exhausted by the schedule. "There were so many surgeries today." "Yeah, I almost passed out," replied Ling Xiao.
We planned to rest in my cabin, as we were not in the state to drive back. Opening my door, I welcomed him inside as he stopped on his way when he spotted a girl, resting her head on the table, sleeping. "Xi Song, is she your patient?"Turning my head, I noticed Xingyue sleeping peacefully. Scratching my face, I responded. "She... is actually my fiance."Widening his eyes, he walked to her to see a clear vision of her. "Wow! You have a pretty wife, Xi Song. Why are all the beautiful girls only for you?"With my pursed lips, I stroked his shoulder. "Don't worry. We will find one for you too." "I see you are teasing me." Knocking on the door, a nurse came inside, looking for me. "Dr. Song, a patient needs you." Shifting my gaze to Xingyue, I sighed as he stroked my arm. "Take it as a favor. I'm coming, Ms. Choi." Bowing her head, she left as I looked at him. "Are you sure?" Nodding his head, he answered. "This is not for you. It's for this beautiful woman who needs her husband." I narrowed my eyes as he laughed, leaving the room.Turning my head, I looked down at her.Her body was rising and dipping constantly as she took slow breaths.Everything about her was perfect, her luscious lips, sharp jawline, and shiny hairs. I felt as if someone had pulled me into a trance. No matter how much I tried to get out of it, I couldn't stop staring at her. A weird feeling occurred, burning down my heart.Caressing her hair, I mumbled. "Why your sleeping face makes me feel mysterious feelings, I never felt for someone before. Ar... Are you that attractive to me, or is it just my heart that is misunderstanding us?" Smiling in pain, I recalled my winter bear back, who promised me about never leaving my side. Those who used to say never to be separated have already been scattered around the world."Why did you remind me of her and made everything complicated for me?" Tears formed in my eyes when her sparkling eyes opened a while, meeting my moist eyes.CHAPTER 06 - Friendship or love?Author's POVTears formed in his eyes once her sparkling eyes opened a moment, meeting his wet eyes. Taken aback, he wiped his tears as she rubbed her eyes, looking at him along with her half-opened eyes. "When did you come?" Clearing his throat, he replied in his cold tone. "When you were busy sleeping in other's workplace." Evident at him, she rolled her eyes. "I have no interest in visiting you. It's my mom who wants me to do so." Explaining herself, she stood up as she stretched her hands within the air, yawning. "Anyways, now I'm going. I have a lot of things to do."She stepped ahead solely to be stopped by him as he held her wrist, making her turn back. "You are still sleepy. It's dangerous to drive back." Yanking his hand, she crossed her arms. "So, Dr. Song, what will I do besides it?" chewing his lips, he answered. "I will drive you back." "Huh? given that I bear i
CHAPTER 07 - Shopping with my arrogant fiancéXingyue's POV"Are you married, Xingyue?" he asked with his eyes frozen open. My lips turned down as I giggled sarcastically. "It should be my friend. He generally jokes around like this. Excuse me, Han Shuo." Bowing to them, I raged outside. Gripping my clenched hand, I went to the ground floor as I saw him checking on the wristwatch. "What's your problem, Xi Song? For what reason are you following me all over?" Turning his head, he looked at other people who were gazing at us. Holding my arm, he pulled me somewhat close as he murmured close to my ear. "Keep your voice low. My mom sent me here to take you shopping." Stepping back, I flipped my hair, folding my arms. "I don't need to bother a man to go shopping. I can do it without anyone else." Squinting his eyes, he passed me a ridiculing grin. "Miss, I have no interest too. I'm doing it for my mom. If it's not too much
CHAPTER 08 - A TRUE HEROXingyue's POVAs I started talking to Han Shuo, I noticed a weird reaction on Xi Song's face. It was more likely a suspecting face. Han Shuo: Can you come over here? I need a lot of help from you.Xingyue: Okay, I'm coming.Hanging the call, I glared at him. "What was that?"Crossing his arms, he raised his brows. "May I know who Han Shuo is?" Rolling my eyes, I answered. "You don't need to know about him, Mr. temporary fiancé." Walking back to the dressing room, I changed my dress as I took my purse and said goodbye to him. "Where's the bill? I'll pay for it." Pronouncing a sigh, he smirked. "Don't worry. I paid already." Grinding my teeth, I flipped my hair as I argued. "I can pay for my dress by myself, Mr. Song." "I know, but I couldn't let you pay Miss Li," he argued back. "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?" He added. "The problem is you are Fiancée. If y
CHAPTER 09 - CASE OF POISONXi Song's POVTaking out my gloves, I washed my hands as I came out. "What's the report of the patient?" Reading the file, Ling Xiao answered. "He is safe for now, but the poison in his body is in excessive amounts. I'm afraid we can't save him--" Cutting his words off, I shouted. "DON'T EVER SAY THIS AGAIN. We have to save him at any rate." Shifting my gaze, I glanced at a lady sitting on the nearby bench. Taking out my mask, I walked to her. "What are you doing here, Xingyue?"Lifting her chin, she stood up immediately. "How is the patient? Is he okay?" Taking a pause, I gulped. "The risk is too high. The toxin is poisonous, and it's found excessive in his body. It seems like a murder case." She knitted her brows as someone ran to us, shouting her name. "XINGYUE, IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?" Gazing at Xia Na, I shifted my eyes to her. She was looking pale. "How is he?" Sha
CHAPTER 10 - When the heart talks your feelingsAuthor's POVGulping down, he took his phone out as he called his friend. "Ling Xiao, do you know the other way of exiting the hospital?" Humming, he replied. "Yeah, there is a way behind the hospital. But what happened?" Holding her hand, he directed her as Xia Na pushed her. "Xingyue, just go with him. Don't worry about anything, okay?" Glancing sideways, she nodded her head in agreement as they ran away. Taking his car, Ling Xiao waited for them near the gate. Waving at him, Xi Song approached him. "Thank you, Ling Xiao. Can you handle the matter?" Smiling at him, he stroked on his arm. "Of course, I'm the master after all. Don't be concerned, sister-in-law needs you more this time." Peeking at her, he bowed. "Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Ling Xiao. One of the best surgeons here--" Cutting his words off, he sided him. "Okay! Do your introduction some other time. Xi
CHAPTER 11 - FIND THE CULPRITAuthor's POVThe rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. Lifting her head, she glanced at the clock as it showed seven of the morning. Doing her daily pieces of stuff, she moved downstairs as she smelled something delicious. "Hmm!! It looks like Dr. Song woke up early." Chuckling at her comment, he placed the dishes on the table as he replied. "I'm a doctor. I woke earlier than others and stayed up at night too. Come and eat. I'll drop you at your office." Playing with her fingers, she brushed her hair back as she messaged Han Shuo. "Han Shuo, you don't need to come here. My cousin will drop me."Placing her phone on the table, she sat opposite him."Xi Song, I know it's tough for you to let a stranger stay at your place. So thank you for letting me in." Taking a bite of bread, he chuckled. "You're talking lik
CHAPTER 12 - PAGES OF PASTXi Song's POV"I promise her mom will protect her. I can't back off from it." Taking the file from his hands, I unopened it and started reading her details when something caught my eyes as I narrowed my eyes. Taking the phone, I dialed a number, not knowing if it still worked or not???: Hello?Gasping, I stammered.Me: You still use this number, Han Shuo.Clearing his throat, he answered.Han Shuo: It's my choice. What's the reason behind calling me?Me: I want to meet you. It's related to Xingyue's case.Han Shuo: Okay. I will send you the location.Humming, I hung up the call as I looked down when he asked."What's wrong, Xi Song?" Staring at the ceiling, I answered. "Nothing is wrong. Take my shift for today. I have something to deal with." Taking my belongings, I left the place.Xingyue's POVL
CHAPTER 13 - Signal of love?Xingyue's POVWalking as fast as I could, I arrived at an alley where I saw no other way to escape. Shivering, I turned back as I heard a man laughing like a maniac.He covered his face with a black mask as his hands were holding a knife. Gulping hard, I stepped back as he moved closer to me. "Is he coming to kill me?" I assumed.Stepping back again, my back clasped with the wall as I sweated.Horrified, I shut my eyes when he was about to stab me with the knife.Squinting, I felt a touch as I peeked with my half-opened eyes.Glancing back, I saw Han Shuo murmuring in pain. "HAN SHUO!!"Holding him in my arms, I looked into his eyes as he was about to close his eyes. "Keep your eyes open, Han Shuo." Tears formed in my eyes when the man again moved to me. But out of nowhere, someone appeared as he kicked him, pushing him out of the way. Lifting my chin, I gazed at the ma
Epilogue: Intense LoveXingyue's POVI was sitting on a bench under a tree, waiting for Xi Song to come. The surrounding area had green grass all around. The chilly wind was blowing my hair after the rain fell.I was scrolling through my phone when I got a text from Xia Na. Staring at the screen, I squinted. I felt taken aback for a moment.Putting a hand over my wide-open mouth, I snuffed. "Is it for real?"She sent me a picture of her pregnancy test, which showed a positive result.Unexpectedly, I found myself jumping in rounds out of happiness.The joy was beyond any explanation. We were finally getting all this bliss we manifested in our rough times. It couldn't be better than this.Xia Na would live her dream of becoming a mom while Tang Xue finally experienced the taste of love. And for me, I couldn't be happier than remarrying him.Time has taught me to value relationships and how sometimes forgiving solves the most tangled problems.If happiness exists, it was there in my life
Author's POVThe day finally arrived, for which everyone was waiting.The stage was decorated with lilies, her favourite flower.He was trying to hide his nervousness by repeatedly adjusting his tie. Seeing him doing this, Han Shuo laughed and asked, "Are you giving any job interviews? Relax." "You'll not get it until you become the groom, Han Shuo," Xi Song commented, mockingly smiling at him."But he needs to find the bride first, Xi Song," Ling Xiao added."Mr. Perfectionist failed to get his girl." Both kept throwing comments at him while he remained silent, feeling helpless.On the other hand, the bridesmaids were busy giving the final touch-up to the bride."Have you remembered the vow, Xia Na?" Tang Xue asked out of curiosity as she nodded her head in a yes."I can't believe our daring honey is getting married." Xingyue wiped her tears, gazing at her."I know, right? No one expected she'd get married before me," Tang Xue chuckled.Hearing them almost made her tear up. She trie
Xi Song's POVAfter an overworked group meeting, I could finally answer his calls.I massaged my neck, laughing at the same old joke.Me: So, did you fail again?Ling Xiao: I doubt if you're really my best friend. But this time, your brother grabbed the chance and turned it into the best proposal.Frowning at his words, I quickly leaned forward and took the phone close to my ears.Me: What? You finally proposed to her?Ling Xiao: She was sobbing. It was heart-touching, I know.I pressed my lips together, trying not to cringe while pulling his leg.Me: Are you sure she was not crying in disappointment at your proposal?Ling Xiao: Yaa! Do you want to die? I'll not let you enter my wedding, but then again, you're my only best friend.Me: I think I won't be able to make it. The work in the US is getting out of my reach. I need to keep track.Ling Xiao: You can't come to my wedding, but you surely can take the time to fly back once a year just to see her from afar, right?Me: Huh?Ling Xia
Ling Xiao's POV"Xia Na, I have something to tell you.""What is it?" She slightly nodded her head and waited for me to continue."I have been practising to tell you this for many days. Please cooperate with me." She pressed her lips tightly, holding back her laugh while making an okay sign with her hand."The thing is..." As soon as I began my proposal, her phone buzzed, cutting my words off.I shut my eyes out of irritation.She picked up the call, heading towards the balcony.I gasped. "It's okay, Ling Xiao. You can do it."I gathered my thoughts within minutes as she showed up and looked at me with pleaded eyes. "I'm so sorry, honey. I've got to go back to the office. There's some urgent work. I promise we'll continue our talk in the evening." She leaned inward and gave me a peck.I clenched my jaw, watching her leave. I vigorously picked up the fork and threw it into the salad. "I failed!"Little did I know the evening would take forever to come..................................
Xi Song's POV"Xi Song!" As soon as I turned, I heard my name. For a moment, the entire world seemed to have stopped. I looked back with longing eyes. She was not there. The one my eyes yearned to see made my heart restless; she was not there.I lowered my eyelids with a disappointed face when Ling Xiao put a hand on my shoulder and asked, "Were you expecting someone else? Haha!"I put on a smile. "Of course... Not. You're here already."I hugged him and patted his back. Breaking the hug, I picked up my bag and then went ahead.This time, I knew that even if I looked back, I would find emptiness in my destiny. I moved ahead with my head raised. In just a moment, the flight took off for the US.Maybe I accepted our story as incomplete.........................................................Xingyue's POVI reached the airport while running. There was no time to even breathe.I immediately asked an air hostess standing there."Has the flight to the US taken off?""Yes, Ma'am. It left 1
Xingyue's POVBy the time I reached the office, everything was in a rush. The telephones were constantly buzzing. Taking a step forward, I went to Xia Na's desk. She seemed engaged in attending others' calls.Hanging up the phone call, she glanced at me timidly. "What to do, Xingyue? The entire company is in a mess. Clients are calling to verify the rumour. And more than that, I think Tang Xue is stressed.""Don't worry. You handle the media and press. I'll go and check on them."Under the plan, she sat back and continued to reply to emails.I let out a sigh, walking towards his cabin.I was about to knock on the door when I heard Tang Xue's voice. Peeking from a tiny open space, I saw them screeching at each other.The entire company was in amazement when a press company leaked a photo of Han Shuo and Tang Xue hugging each other.Within five minutes, it went viral, and people started talking sh*t about her.Some said she seduced her boss. While others pointed out her character, calli
Xingyue's POVAfter reaching the hospital, I took a deep breath and stepped inside. I myself did not know why I came to the hospital.Everything in that envelope overwhelmed me so much that I felt compelled to look at him.*Flashback*As soon as I opened the envelope, I found Xi Song's letter addressed to Mom. Also, there was a note from Mom with a pen drive stuck to it.[If you read those letters, watch this too.]I took out a letter and started reading it. It was the letter written around the time I first kissed him.Dear Mom,I know you told me it was not my fault in this, but when I see her being gloomy, the guilt starts eating me from inside. I could not stop myself from telling her the truth. Although I did it to keep my promise to Winter Bear, it felt so wrong when I was with her. She deserves love, and what I mean by that is true love. No matter how much I think about it, I only find myself guilty of ruining her life with false hopes.I was startled upon reading this. I wasn't
Xia Na's POVPicking up a pastel purple dress from the corner, I put it on my chest and asked, "Tang Xue, is it looking good on me?"She looked at me, raised both hands, and gave me a thumbs up. "Everything looks good on you."Grinning, I gave the dress to the lady and asked her to pack it for me. I moved to the counter and paid for the dress. I picked up the bag and walked out of the shop.Today, after months, we went on a girls' date during the weekend off. But we were not cheerful enough, as missing even one made the group seem incomplete."I wish Xingyue was here with us." Tang Xue murmured."I know, I'm missing her too. If only her mother had not come, she too would have been with us," I explained."I hope we can go on the next date all together."We were walking towards the cafeteria while talking when we heard someone shouting from behind."SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP!"Looking back, we saw a crowd gathering at one place. Glancing at each other, we immediately ran towards it.While be
Xia Na's POVToday was a terribly tiring day, or should I say that every day became like this?Perhaps I also knew the reason behind this.Since I distanced myself from him, I lost myself too.I took the key out of my purse, opened the door, and stepped inside.Someone grabbed my hand as I put my hand on the handle to close the door. I was aware of this touch. It seemed familiar.As soon as I looked back, I got pushed and hurled against the wall.Putting a hand over my mouth, he stopped me from screaming. I took a deep breath as my eyes met his. I slightly lifted my hand and pushed him away."What do you think you're doing, Dr. Ling?" I exclaimed."Isn't it obvious? Didn't you expect me to be here after what you did that night?" He reasoned, looking deep into my eyes, making me unsettled."What?"He slowly approached me, racing my heartbeats. My hands got sweaty with just his poker look. I hate to say it, but his serious stare shivered at me.I moved back as my back hit the wall.He c
