Watching the clouds sail across the sky, Jiang Xiuying took a deep breath. Clenching her fist, she felt a surge of different emotions rise in her.
She was finally going to see Zheng Tianyi after five years of being apart from him.
Sigh....It's funny how fate teases us.
Looking at the glass walled restaurant, it was safe to say it had been reserved by Zheng Tianyi. No single soul was present in the restaurant.
Xiuying scoffed. " Privacy my butt" It was finally time. Time to see Zheng Tianyi after five years. Her time of revenge is near.
She entered the restaurant and was led upstairs by the receptionist to a room that resembled a bookstore?
" Wait a bit. Mr Zheng would join you shortly " The receptionist informed and left. She came earlier than the agreed time so it was normal for him not to be present yet.
Taking the opportunity he wasn't around, she decided to walk a bit around the bookstore. It consisted to giant shelves on each sides of the room and two chairs opposite each other placed beside the glass wall with a splendid view of the outside world.
Xiuying could imagine how awesome the view from there would be at night.
Time flies fast. Before she knew it, she had spent about an hour appreciating the interiors of the room she was. She quickly adjusted the bangs of her shiny silver hair. There was no need to apply a make up on her naturally smooth skin. She had only applied a lip balm on her full pink lips. Still, her beauty was radiating enough to make the sun pale in comparison.
In the next ten minutes, Zheng Tianyi would arrive. Her heart was jumping in both nervousness and excitement but she managed to calm it down with the thought that he doesn't even remember her.
That was the real truth. He has no recollection of their past or her. They would be basically stranger's on their first meeting.
It would be a new beginning for both of them. A new opportunity for her to set things right and fulfil her kids wish.
___
And the long awaited moment is finally here!!!
The sound of the opening door was enough to make Xiuying's calmed heart start palpitating once again. She had to pinch herself to prevent herself from flying into his arms.
Five steps closer!!!!!
Four steps closer!!!!Three steps closer!!!Two steps closer!!A step closer!Jiang Xiuying finally raised her head seeing his shiny black Italian leather shoes.
She looked at the face she longed to caress. So near yet so far. His cold russet eyes casually glanced at her. It felt a bit intimidating and unfamiliar unlike his warm eyes that she was used to.
Although it was just a brief glance, he was unable to get rid of her beautiful face that had gotten a space in his brain. Her appearance carefully engraved in his heart.
Xiuying was lost in thought looking at his ever handsome face. His usually warm face had been replaced with aloofness and arrogance. His easy going vibes had been replaced with an imposing aura that seemed suffocating.
Zheng Tianyi smirked seeing her in a daze. He didn't bother to go through the formality of introduction himself.
Han Sen whose presence hadn't been noticed coughed to gain her attention. " Can we get to business?" He greeted her out of respect but she was too engrossed looking at the specimen before her.
Zheng Tianyi sat down and elegantly crossed his legs. Expecting her to do the same.Xiuying pinched herself to bring her lost soul back to reality. She successfully managed to sit facing him.
" I will make this as fast as possible. I don't have the intention of transferring the shares to you. It wasn't my fault in the first place that you were very slow to react to a given opportunity. The 30% shares is very precious to me in some ways. "
Zheng Tianyi's eyes darkened when she called him a slow person.
He was only 24 hours late okay?!
Seeing he didn't reply, she brought out a contract and pushed it on the table that separated them.
" I gave it a thought and decided to do this. I didn't get the contact through monetary exchange and I'm willing to do the same for you. The shares would be given to you for free" She uttered every single word slowly but clearly.
Han Sen was quick to pass the document to his boss.
Zheng Tianyi began going through the contract.
" Of course, you just need to sign the contract then the shares would be under your name. We can discuss about it if you have a problem with any of the clause written there so it can be revised." Xiuying reclined on the chair. She was trying really hard to maintain her role as the person who has the upper hand. If not for what she wants in return, she would have willingly transferred the shares to him.
The temperature of the room kept on dropping by degrees as Zheng Tianyi continued reading the contract. He smirked and his cold gaze rested on him.
" What do you mean by this" He asked as he threw the Contract back on the table.
A cupid arrow shot through Xiuying's heart seeing him smirk. There were both in different worlds.
" Just like I said, if there is anything you wish to change we can talk about it."
She flipped her shiny silver hair backwards and flashed him a wide smile with her pearly white teeth peeking out of her supple lips. " Marry me then the shares becomes yours"
Han Sen eyes snapped open and turned to the petite courageous lady that just made a statement." Do you even know what you want?"" Of course, I almost went bankrupt after purchasing the shares. I need a big thigh to hold."
" If I remember correctly, you blackmailed Fu Jing and Chen Yi to get them transfer their shares to you." Zheng Tianyi's lips curled up in satisfaction seeing her blush in embarrassment.
" It was not my fault that they were scum. I only thought them the right lesson. In their next life, they wouldn't cheat on their wives." Jiang Xiuying laughed sheepishly.
Zheng Tianyi stared at her almond shaped eyes that turned crescent when she smiled. Something unexplainable flashed across his cold eyes.Jiang Xiuying continued talking in attempt to convince him." I have already taken into consideration on how you value your privacy very much. Like it was written, we won't interfere in each others private life. But that doesn't mean you should be unfaithful during out two years of marriage. Also, I can of course keep our marriage a secret unless you say otherwise. Since the shares transfer would take effect two years after our marriage, you should assume the role of a caring husband and loving father"" Father? Are you that eager to give birth to my children? " Zheng Tianyi knew that she was just one of the numerous woman that wants to get in his bed but didn't expect her to be so brave saying it in front of him.Xiuying shrugged. " Judging how handsome you are and how beautiful I am
Zheng Tianyi had been curious to know the kind of person Xiuying was that he had to leave the meeting to satisfy his curiosity. He picked up the file and opened the first page to go through her profile. The first thing he met with was a picture of her smiling brightly in a ginger coloured hair. ' Why must your picture be included when I already know what you look like' Zheng Tianyi mused slightly shaking his head. He turned to the next page. Name: Jiang Xiuying Age : Twenty three years old. " She looks like a teenager. I wonder if this is her real age." Marital Status : About to be married to Zheng Tianyi. " She really thinks highly of her self " He continued making comments on every thing he read about her. By the time he was true, time was already night. Thanks to the details provided by Jiang Xiuying, it felt like he had an insight of the kind of person she may be but th
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 ♪" Oh...Who is disturbing my sleep this early morning ? " Jiang Xiuying groaned, her slender hand reaching out for her phone that had been ringing for the nth time.Thankfully, she didn't drink much last night or else she would have been suffering from a splitting headache. After her lengthy monologue with the moon, she somehow found her way to her bedroom." Hmm..." She sleepily said into the phone with her hair sprawled over her bed. The next thing she heard made all the sleep in her eyes clear at once. She sprang up from her bed in haste and ended the call." Woohoo... Seems I didn't shed tears for nothing." Xiuying said excitedly as she made her way into the kitchen. Her hair was tied in a messy bun with her baby hair scatt
Jiang Xiuying confidently walked into the building of Caomei Entertainment along side Yuxuan and her assistant, Shancai." Make sure to keep an eye on Yuxuan. He may be mischievous sometimes. Also, don't let strangers get close to him . " She turned her attention to the little boy. " Don't run around and stay close to Caicai. " She didn't know why he chose not to put on his blindfold. Yes, he was curious about everything since it was his first time in China.Shancai nodded her head at her boss. " Alright Ms Xiuying. " Yuxuan also nodded his head and gave his mother a thumbs up. Xiuying fondly rubbed his curly hair and made her way into the meeting room she is supposed to meet with Zheng Tianyi." You are late" Zheng Tianyi coldly said without raising his head as the door of the meeting room opened." Yeah. I'm a female so it's normal to be late. I'm sorry anyway." Xiuying's word didn't have any hint of remorse. She took a lot of ti
" I have some works to do. 10:00am tomorrow " Zheng Tianyi nodded his head at her and walked out of the meeting room leaving Jiang Xiuying in a daze." Did he just sign the contract?" She looked even scared to look at her own copy for fear that his signature would vanish." Yes!!!" She screamed in excitement clenching her fist. She quickly got out of the office and made her way to where she had left Yuxuan and Shancai." Caicai, where is Yuxuan? " Xiuying asked as she approached Shancai and Han Sen. She expected Yuxuan to welcome her as she entered the waiting room but he didn't. She couldn't even catch a glimpse of him in the wide room.Shancai felt her heart jump out of her mouth hearing her boss voice. How could she be able to tell her boss that Yuxuan went missing for about two hours now. She pursed her lips, her heart pumping in fear and uneasiness." Err...Yuxuan, he went to...." She bit her lower lips in nervo
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 p
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
" You dropped this" A young man in a light pink hair extended his left hand that was holding an handkerchief towards Jiang Xiuying.Jiang Xiuying turned her neck to look at the person who was seating beside her that just talked. Her eyes flew open as she kept on staring at him without an intention to collect the handkerchief he stretched out to her.The man grinned widely and placed the handkerchief in Jiang Xiuying's hand then took his hand to his lips and made a zipping sign. " I know you must be surprised to see me on plane but don't post a picture or spread the news online" He told her lightly still smiling widely.Jiang Xiuying played with the handkerchief for a while and placed it on her laps. " Why should I take your picture or spread the news online?"" That's because.... Wait. What? You mean you don't know who I am? Ahhh....I get it now. You must be pretending right?" He spoke very swiftly staring at her as if she was an alien.&
After knocking twice on the door of the study and getting no reply, Jiang Xiuying paused her lips and looked downstairs holding the rail. She saw from afar that Midori was still seated where she left her. " I wonder if she would be able to pass the test" Jiang Xiuying rested on the rail and cupped her chin using her left hand. It's time for her to choose her fifth personal maid. It was a tradition for the females of Lu Family to have a different personal maid every year. Her first maid was already happily married and had just given birth to a son. She made sure to give all of her previous personal maid a happy ending. She had immediately liked Midori as she saw her sharp eyes that reveled the kind of person she was. She preferred people that doesn't look innocent at first glance than those ones that look like they are scared of wind caressing their skin. Thinking about it reminded her of her fourth personal maid that looked innocent but due to her efficiency, Jiang Xiuying had
Sunlight rays peered into the room where a sleeping beauty lay. Jiang Xiuying stirred a bit and lazily opened her eyes. She looked around the room and rested her eyes on a young handsome man seated far away from her reading a magazine." You are awake?" Lu Beichen asked closing the magazine and walking towards her. Jiang Xiuying nodded and weakly stood up with her eyes half opened. " Wash up and come down for breakfast " He instructed and left the room." What was that? " Jiang Xiuying murmured looking at the closed door of her room. She shook her head and yawned loudly without closing her mouth. " Aish....how long was I asleep? I feel so light" She fell back on her bed and rolled to the other side of her bed reaching for her phone. She turned on the screen but found it powered off." Aish... " Jiang Xiuying sat up on her bed scratching her head. Another loud yawn escaped through her mouth. She stretched her arm up feeling sore all over her body. " A warm bath w
Hmm....." Zheng Tianyi nodded thoughtfully. " I already did a background check on her but found nothing wrong. By the way, do you believe in fate? " He asked Li Shang the same question Jiang Xiuying asked him when he inquired about the reason why he and Yuxuan looked alike." What's that coming from your mouth. Haven't you always believe in coincidence why are you suddenly talking about faith?"" Never mind..... What brings you here at this time of the day. Are you that less busy that you need Grandfather Li to set you up on another blind date?"Li Shang moved away from Zheng Tianyi. " You are giving me chills. I only came to check up on you. I heard you haven't been taking your meds even after Yucheng made another one for you at the research facility "" I'm okay. I don't need to take the drugs since they won't even work. I keep on dreaming even after taking the pills. "" What?" Li Shang asked sounding alarmed. Zheng Tianyi nodded his
" Alright...that's all for today. Ms Zhou, you should get some rest. We can schedule another day to record the song. It seems you haven't gotten yourself in the mood of the song. " Zhou Kexin heard as soon as she got out from the recording booth.Zhou Kexin forced a smile on her face " Okay. let's call it a day" She nodded at him and walked out of the recording room with her assistant trailing behind her." Sister Kexin. You sang pretty well today. Not bad" Her assistant said smiling brightly behind her.Zhou Kexin let out a little laugh " Alright Xiaoling. You don't have to make me feel better. I know I didn't perform well today" She said modestly. That was one of the attributes that made Xiaoling admire her boss." Sister Kexin, you are too modest" Xiaoling said as they walked out of Caomei Entertainment.* * * * " Mr. Li, President Zheng is not available. He is currently in a meeting " Liu Li said as Li Shang approached her office.
It was a Sunday and also the day of for the workers at the Zheng Tianyi's mansion.Zheng Tianyi and Yuxuan sat in the dining room enjoying dinner made by him. Zheng Tianyi noticed that Yuxuan didn't know how to use chopsticks so he began to feed him the pasta he made.While they were eating , the familiar melodious sound of his ringtone sounded interrupting the quiet time of the father and son duo.How shall we long for ♪Where we are going ♪No matter how frustrating it can be ♪♪You are my soulmate ♪" What is it?" Zheng Tianyi asked with irritation evident in his voice." Sir, the CEO of ZG group is here. He requests your presence."" Let him wait for a while" Zheng Tianyi replied and hung up. He couldn't help but wonder what his Uncle was doing at his place at such a late hour. Rather than hurrying up, he did everything at his own pace. He was sure his uncle won't mind staying outside for an hour.
The next day, Yutong was already in her blue tutu that matched with the colour of her eyes. Her long hair was tied into a bun leaving her straight bangs that covered her eyebrows.She swirled around in happiness and went to hug Lu Beichen." Do you like it? " Lu Beichen asked with a doting smile on his face." Like it! Like it !!" She exclaimed jumping around in excitement. Lu Beichen carried her up. " Let's go to your dance studio to see how you can perform " He said as he walked out of the room.When they got to the front of the room, Lu Beichen brought Yutong down and bent to her level. " Are you ready for my surprise? "" Sure. I can't wait." She replied nodding her head. Lu Beichen straightened himself and opened the door of the studio and entered with Yutong closing the door behind. The light of the studio was turned off causing Lu Beichen and Yutong to be unable to see anything." Uncle, why is the light turned off? Could this b
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.
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
