We took the elevator upstairs.Inside, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?""Calm down. Who else could it be? Oogway Mitaka. He looks well dressed, but Dave told me that he is not a good man long before."Next to us, Desmond blamed him.Hearing this, Kim tugged on my arm and said, "Come in with me. I'll help you clean up. You look very messy."As she spoke, she dragged me into her room.Standing in front of the mirror, I looked at myself and felt sad.There were hickeys, shallow and deep, all over my body below my neck. And there were obvious traces on my face because of Oogway's reckless rubbing.In addition, my sweater had been ripped apart and the buttons on my coat had all fallen off.It's so self evident. Even if I didn't say it, she knew clearly what had happened."Take a shower." Kim took out a set of clothes from the closet and threw it to me."Let's talk about it when you come out.""Thank you.""You silly girl!" As soon as I finished my words,
"Are you out of your mind?!" Kim came up to me and pulled me to the couch. We were face to face right now. "He's a crazy man. Why are you still marrying him?""I have to.""I don't agree." Kim said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I'm telling you, if you marry him, I'll lock you up in this house. He can only marry you over my dead body.""Oh, don't do that! Don't do that!" When Desmond heard this, he immediately said, "Why don't I stand in front of you? Then it will be over my dead body first. I don't want you to die."When I saw them acting like that, I suddenly felt at ease.Although Kim and Desmond always quarreled with each other, they surprisingly will be a good match.Maybe they would be happy if they got married.I smiled and said, "I am not going to sacrifice myself, ok? It's just a marriage. And, Oogway is rich and good to me. Isn't it a good marriage?""You can't lie to me." Kim looked at me, looking sad.But Desmond understood me. "Forget it. We should stay
In the afternoon, I went to Marie's office to revise the blueprint with her.It was just a revision instead of a redesign therefore, the rudiment of the whole design had almost be finished.That night, I went back to Kim's place.To be honest, I still didn't know how to face Oogway.Kim and I spent the night together.The next morning, I got up on time. When I was about to leave for work, I suddenly noticed Oogway's car parked at the entrance..The man saw me and got out of the car.The morning sun shone on his gentle face, it looked so warm and harmonious however, I only felt extremely cold.It was so easy for Oogway to find me."Let's go. I'll take you to work." With a faint smile on his face, he waved to me.Kim was behind me. When she saw Oogway, she was also stunned and immediately held me in her arms. "She is mine. I won't give her to you! Hurry up and leave. I'll send her to work!"Oogway was not angry when he heard that."Can I take you two ladies to work then?""There's no ne
Time passed by in a blink of an eye.'Time travel', the project advanced by the cooperation of Marie and I had been completed. We sent it to Mr. Newman, who repeatedly applauded for it. And he immediately gave us bonuses.That night, Marie took the bonus and wanted to invite me to dinner, but I refused.Tomorrow would be the day of my engagement with Oogway. Tonight, I would be having dinner with the Mitaka Family.This time, it was not in Oogway's home but in the Eastern Wind Restaurant.I went home to take a bath, changed into a decent set of clothes, put on light makeup, and followed Oogway to the Eastern Wind Restaurant.When we entered the box, many people were already sitting there.I looked over and found that all the members of the Mitaka Family seemed to be here.Jamie, Anita, Dave, and Jamin.After we went in, Anita looked unhappy and said, "How dare you have us four wait for you!" -I took a look at my watch.Oogway told me it would start at 7 o'clock, but now it was only
I hesitated but then I realized he just needed a simple answer. Just when I was about to open my mouth, I heard Anita say, "Do you guys have to talk about this private thing when we are eating?"As soon as she spoke, the topic was over. Everyone knew that Anita had divorced for many years. It seemed that she had never found a boyfriend since then, so she certainly hadn't experienced what we were talking about for many years.She sounded furious, so no one talked about it anymore.Soon, the dishes were served.At the dining table, everyone was talking about businesses, and they also cared about the marriage between Oogway and I, especially Jamin. He had been stressing over and over again that we should have as many children as possible after marriage.We talked and drank.The waiter poured Jamin another glass of wine. Oogway and I toasted Jamin.After emptying the glass, Jamin patted Oogway's arm and said, "Oogway, your marriage has always been the top priority in my heart. Now th
Hearing my words, Oogway took back his hand and then held my face with both hands and planted a kiss on my forehead. Then he said in a very gentle tone, "I'll be out in a minute, wait for me.""Alright." I nodded.Then, I followed Jamie and Anita out.After we left the room, Anita raised her hand and slapped me directly on the face."B*tch, you think you are so attractive? You first seduced Dave, and then Oogway? You are so greedy!"The slap was so hard that I felt my ears buzzing.Before I could open my mouth, Anita was about to slap me again. I could sense her force, so I raised my hand, trying to stop her. Fortunately, Anita was not very strong, so I was just able to stop her.I looked up at Anita and said calmly, "Sorry, but I never seduced anyone.""Never? Bah! If not, why is this happening?"Anita didn't believe me.In fact, Anita might have envied me.Because no one had pursued her for a long time, she felt very angry when seeing others pursue me.She wanted to take this oppor
It was already night, and it was snowing.The drifting snowflakes were scattering under the orange glare of the headlight. I looked nervously at Oogway, feeling extremely uneasy because I have never seen Oogway acting like this. No matter when, he always wore a faint smile on his face.His simile only disappeared when he was serious. But even in that case, he would soon put on a smile.I had thought Oogway used his smile and gentleness as a mask for hiding his real side but at this moment, I didn't want Oogway to be expressionless like this, even if I knew his smile was just a mask.I was terrified by his expressionless face.I was even afraid that the place he is taking me to would be terrifying.Someone might.....Someone might die there.However, Oogway seemed to have lost his ability to smile.After about two hours, he drove the car all the way from the brightly lit urban area to the suburbs without any street lights.There were only lights from the headlights.Suddenly, I looked
Russian roulette was a game in which a single round was placed in a revolver. The players, in turn, spun the cylinder, place the muzzle against their heads, and pull the trigger. This game didn't end till the bullet hit one of the players.This was a very cruel and terrifying game.If there was a rank of cruelty for gambling games in the world, Russian roulette must be the cruelest.No!No!But at that moment, two bodyguards came over directly. They held my hands, and forced me to stand aside."Let me go!"I was a woman, how could I break free from these bodyguards?I tried my best to struggle! "Let go of me! Don't do that! I beg you!" I shouted.Oogway looked at Dave. "Dave, let's play. If you don't want to, it's not too late to leave now.""Leave, please!" I got heated!However, Dave wasn't afraid. He looked at me and said, "I'll lose if I leave, won't I? I would rather take a gamble.""Alright." Oogway nodded. "It's Russian roulette, you know the rules.""Of course."The two men s
I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc
I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another
The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were
Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o
I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon
There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,
It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
I leaned on Oogway and played with my cell phone for a while before falling asleep.Located in the city center, Jamin's house was surrounded by residential communities. As soon as it was midnight, the sounds of firecrackers rang from all directions!I opened my eyes. Beside me, Oogway sat there with the same posture as he had before I went to bed.He looked at me. "You up?""Yes." I nodded and glanced at the watch on my cell phone, only to find that it had been midnight.Glamourous fireworks was on outside the window.Looking at Bryan sleeping soundly, I somewhat couldn't bear to wake him up.Oogway seemed to sense my hesitation and said with a smile, "Wake him up. It happens once a year. Otherwise, he will blame you."I nodded and patted Bryan's shoulder lightly. Putting my face close to his ear, I whispered, "Baby, get up, they've started setting off the firecrackers."Hearing my words, Bryan seemed to have been awakened by an alarm.He immediately opened his eyes and sat up from t
Oogway wasn't in a hurry. He slowly opened his mouth, "In fact, speaking of the dealership of this drug, across the whole country, there is at least...""Well, she was slow witted. My parents took her girl away and abandoned her, stimulating her in an instant. Then she was more out of her mind and scratched my mother's face, making it covered with bruises! So my parents sent her to a mental hospital!"James couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted it out in an instant.It turns out that my mother had experienced these. Then who on earth is my irresponsible father? According to what Kelvin said, my mother was beautiful and smart. When she left European Architecture, she was a normal person. How come she went crazy after returning to the City?I asked, "Which mental hospital did they sent her to?"James waved his hand, "I sincerely don't know this. That's all I know. I've said everything that I can say. As for the others, I have no idea about them.""Okay." Oogway nodded, "I'll ask m
