Chapter46 - The moon of my world
The morning was pretty refreshing. After getting drunk yesterday, Xingyue felt better today. She swung her hands around and yawned. And with her eyes turned to the right, she found a quiet sleeping moon.
The moon eased her heart, one who illuminates the night of her life, her husband.
Xingyue's POV
When I looked at the right, I saw Xi Song sleeping peacefully. He had a glowing face, even when he was asleep. I couldn't stop myself but stared at him.
After all, he was the only one for me. God blessed me with my own moon, which kept me happy even on darker nights.
Call me fortunate or whatever you want.

Chapter 48 - Zipped lips Author's POV Walking around the corridor, Xingyue again went to Xi Song. She moved her gaze here and there, scanning the surroundings. She noticed his picture on the notice board with lots of heart stickers on it. She leaned ahead to take a closer look, and the next moment, she narrowed her brows while turning back. "It looks like Dr. Song has many fangirls in the hospital." He had a straight face without an expression. He knew what she was pointing out, but he cared less about this. "Come on, Xingyue, they know I'm married."

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.

"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?"

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.

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..................................

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.

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.

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
