Chapter 50 Someone in her heart
“Designer Xia, what’s all this about? Did you expose the photos to the media?” Aka looked at Xia Nuan questioningly.
Ye Sichen always separated his work and personal issues, so Aka did not know that Xia Nuan had worked at Ye Sichen’s home in Feicheng City before.
Xia Nuan shook her head, “What photos?”
She spent the whole afternoon in her bedroom painting design drawings, so she had no time to turn on the TV or see the photos released by the video media.
Aka thought Xia Nuan was pretending to be innocent. So, she took out a newly printed newspaper and pointed at the headlines for Xia Nuan, “Since you work for Mr. Ye, you ought to be careful and can’t sell your soul just because of a little temptation. Anyway, I’m being frank to you, but it’s your decision to make.” She found Ye Sichen looking at here, so she adjusted her gla.s.ses and left the lounge.
The photo in the newspaper was the scene of Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan going to the room on the sixth floor at noon. And the room was her lounge on the sixth floor. There was also a photo of Ye Sichen walking out of the room. The last photo was the picture of Xia Nuan walking out of the room.
If no one explained these photos, there would be more a.s.sumptions.
The person could take photos in secret and sell them to the media in such a short time. How despicable the person was!
Xia Nuan realized what Aka was indicating. Aka was suspecting that the photos on the Video News were sold by her.
Xia Nuan felt extremely uncomfortable. Her whole body was even full of annoyance to those who sneaked secret shots of Ye Sichen.
She was not really fit for the circle of deception.
Great achievements resulted in unpredictable things. Today he might be at peace, but tomorrow he might be in danger.
She thought that Ye Sichen must be tired of such things.
“There must be a spy around me, but I hope it’s not you.” Ye Sichen looked at Xia Nuan and said slowly.
Xia Nuan bit her lips with no words. She felt like she was about to cry.
“You shouldn’t let me stay here. After all, I’m a person of previous conviction.” The so-called previous conviction was the first time that Xia Yan framed her for taking photos and selling them to the media.
“I don’t want you to stay here, but the costume problem needs to be solved.” Ye Sichen found that there were tears in her eyes, and he could not help frowning.
Xia Nuan turned aside and acted as she was tough. “Well, Mr. Ye, I’ll try my best to prove my innocence. It wasn’t me who took the costumes.”
In fact, when Xia Nuan promised to design the costumes, she had already proved her innocence…
Back to the room, Xia Nuan began to study the design again until late at night.
When she was about to sleep, she heard children’s crying.
Xia Nuan could not help thinking of Wuyou and Nianci. Tossing and turning restlessly, she could not fall asleep.
The sound seemed coming from the balcony. At this moment, Xia Nuan remembered that she did not close the gla.s.s door of the balcony when she went to sleep. Then she got up and walked towards the balcony. She once wanted to lock the gla.s.s door, but the children’s crying made her uneasy. So, she could not help stepping forward and walking out of the gla.s.s door.
Xia Nuan looked at the next door and found a man holding a child in the dim night under the moonlight. He comforted the child patiently and sang songs in a low voice from time to time.
The man wore a white T-shirt and walked back and forth on the balcony, but he looked cautious. When he turned around slightly, Xia Nuan found a familiar and dreamlike figure.
It was Ye Sichen.
He was living next to her room and also took Wuyou and Nianci here.
Did he take care of two babies by himself? No one looked after them? Was Luo Dai’er with him?
Xia Nuan was worried and frowned. She wanted to see how Wuyou and Nianci looked like now. She guessed the two little guys must grow up a lot, and maybe they could not recognize her any more.
Xia Nuan left the balcony slowly and lay in her bed again. Though she had locked the gla.s.s door, she was still able to hear the crying.
Probably because she had been missing the two babies…
But now she was so…
Xia Nuan was not a humbled person, but the humility was very evident in the face of Ye Sichen and the two babies.
She forced herself not to think about Wuyou and Nianci. She closed her eyes.
“Tinkle”…
The phone rang at this time.
Xia Nuan opened her eyes and took out her phone from the drawer.
It was Ye Sichen.
She was nervous and answered the phone.
“I’m living next door, can you come over? Don’t open the door. Come straight from the balcony.” Ye Sichen said that in a hoa.r.s.e voice. He hung up the phone before Xia Nuan could say something.
Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment. She stared at the phone for a few seconds, then wore her coat and walked over to the balcony.
Opening the gla.s.s door, she came to the balcony. Seeing the balcony next door, she found the two balconies were not separated by a wall, but a door seeming like a wall.
The door was opened in advance, so Xia Nuan pushed it gently and came in.
The gla.s.s door that lied between the balcony and the bedroom was also opened. Xia Nuan walked into the room alone.
Ye Sichen walked back and forth in the middle of the room with Wuyou in his arms.
“Mom!” Wuyou’s little hand pointed at Xia Nuan, muttering.
“Yes.” Ye Sichen found Wuyou surprised. He could not help smiling.
Xia Nuan walked over to Wuyou who immediately stretched out his small hands toward her, but Xia Nuan did not hug him.
Wuyou’s body had been tilted toward Xia Nuan, so Ye Sichen put Wuyou into her arms directly. Xia Nuan finally stopped suppressing her inner feelings. She held Wuyou and looked at him lovingly.
Wuyou smiled and stretched out his small hand to touch Xia Nuan’s face. Xia Nuan held his little hands and put it on her face, “Wuyou, can you recognize me?”
“Hee hee, mom!” Wuyou opened his small mouth with a lovely milky sound.
Hearing this, Xia Nuan held him tightly. She looked at Nianci who was sleeping in the cradle, with her eyes full of love.
“The two little guys can’t stay at home, and they are clamoring for mom all day.” Ye Sichen leaned against the wall which was painted with exquisite European murals. He looked at Xia Nuan with his arms crossed.
The murals on the wall were fantastic and beautiful. All of them were innocent and lovely fairy tale characters, presumably for Wuyou and Nianci.
Xia Nuan tidied up Wuyou’s hair and looked at Ye Sichen, “You ought to invite Mrs. Ye back from Modu City.”
“Wuyou and Nianci only want to stay with you.”
Xia Nuan felt a little moved, but she also felt incredible. How could a baby over one year old remember the person who had been away for a long time? No need to mention the two babies were less than one year old when she left.
Although Xia Nuan had such doubts, she did not say a word.
After Wuyou fell asleep, the room was quiet.
Every time Xia Nuan was alone with Ye Sichen, she felt her heart beating faster. It was no exception this time. So, she got up and just wanted to leave.
“Xia Nuan.”
Ye Sichen stopped her.
Xia Nuan paused her steps, but she did not have the courage to look back.
“Wuyou and Nianci love you very much, are you willing to be their mother?” Ye Sichen said to Xia Nuan in a soft voice.
Xia Nuan thought that she misheard his words. She felt excited and complicated.
She did not figure out how to answer it before her waist was suddenly grabbed by him.
Xia Nuan’s head was blank, “No, Mr. Ye, I am not qualified to be their mother.”
Ye Sichen breathed heavily and held her tighter. He leaned on Xia Nuan’s side, with his chin touched her shoulder, “I wronged you last time. I’m sorry.”
He should have figured out that she made every effort to protect Wuyou and Nianci. In order to protect them from being discovered by the media, she pretended to be a pregnant woman and pushed them in the stroller to see the world outside. She even took an electric baton in case those evil ones getting close to them. She always loved Wuyou and Nianci. How could she sell the photos to the media?
Xia Nuan listened to his sincere apology, and her grievances were swept away. But was he serious to hug her like this?
Xia Nuan was a little panicky. Her slim hand tried to broke the big palm around her waist, but she was forced to turn around and face him with a violent pull.
“So, I decide to compensate you. Please give me a chance.” Ye Sichen held her face, with deep eyes filled with affections.
Xia Nuan retreated until there was no way to go. She was forced to lean against the wall.
“Mr. Ye, I am not worthy of you.” As soon as Xia Nuan thought of the time in Mood for Love, her heart seemed to be poured with a splash of cold water. There was firmness in her sad eyes.
“Let’s try it.” Ye Sichen smiled, lifting her chin and kissing her lips.
The moment Xia Nuan thought that her mouth had been kissed by Mr. X…
She looked away and resisted his kiss, “Mr. Ye, I don’t want to do this.”
She loved Ye Sichen. Every time she thought of him, her heart would beat faster. After leaving Ye Sichen, she missed him all the time. But when he was in front of her, when he hugged her and asked her if she would like to be mother of Wuyou and Nianci, she had a feeling that she was dreaming. And when she was awake, she had to face the reality: she had no courage to accept it…
Ye Sichen was a little sad to hear that. He suppressed the desire in his heart and asked her in a low voice, “What do you care about? Luo Dai’er? It’s not really necessary.”
His marriage with Luo Dai’er had existed in name only. The woman deceived him and what she really cared about was his ident.i.ty and status.
He would sue for divorce once she promised to be with him.
“I care about a lot, such as our disparity of status. Such as, I, I already have someone in my heart.”
Xia Nuan lied.
“Who is it? Was he the man who kept you as a mistress during the time in Mood for Love?” Ye Sichen smiled deeply.
It seemed that he must let her know the real ident.i.ty of Mr. X.
This woman was very complicated. When she was with Mr. X, she thought about Ye Sichen, but when she was with Ye Sichen, she thought about Mr. X.
Of course, he did not care, because either of them was him.
Xia Nuan got nervous and shook her head, “No, no, that person has been hidden in my heart. I don’t want to mention him, but I’ll love him forever.”
Ye Sichen’s gentle eyes fixed, overflowing a little bitterness and more sadness.
After a long time, he let go of her, “Who is he? Is he worth hiding in your heart?”
The father of her dead child?
Xia Nuan shook her head, “Mr. Ye, you don’t know him, and most importantly, I love him all the time.”
Looking at the sorrowful eyes of Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan was also grievous.
Since it was doomed to be a dead end from the very beginning, why did she have to get stuck in it? Ye Sichen was like a poppy, which made her addictive once she was infected. But he was an invaluable poppy, she could not afford it.
“Well, I take back the previous words. You can take it as a joke.” Ye Sichen smiled.
Since she was not willing to be with him, why should he insist?
