Phoenix's Fated Half

"Be aware of the person you just met."

The next day. Sunlight was slowly creeping through the window.

"Hraaarrh." Qing Qing sluggishly opened her eyes. The suns.h.i.+ne was lightly s.h.i.+ning on her small face.

"You"ve finally woke up?" A voice spoke up beside her bed.

"Mami?" Qing Qing turned her head, instead of her mother she saw Mi Rong. "Oh, Rong jie, I thought you were my mami."

"Hmm. Have some of this." Mi Rong had been sitting beside Qing Qing and reading a book, waiting to give Qing Qing"s breakfast to her.

"Thank you."

"Did you have a good sleep?"

"Yes."

"Good."

Then silence encircled the room; however it was not the stuffy kind of feeling, but peace and quiet. While Qing Qing was eating, Mi Rong was reading her book. From time to time, Qing Qing would take quick peeks at Mi Rong. While watching her, Qing Qing would feel secured and at peace. Rong jie seemed to have that majestic calmness emiting from her, it was as if Rong jie was a beautiful princess. Her mother had her own unique beauty, and Rong jie seemed to have even more, but Rong jie didn"t seem to come from any wealthy family. If Rong jie did, she would have known, where did she come from then?

Curiosity finally beat her "Rong jie."

"Yeah?"

"Uh, jie where are you from?" Qing Qing asked while tilting her head.

"Well, I"m from a far far away place, beyond the oceans and sky."

"Oh. Which country or what kind of place do you mean then." Her eyes then shone and she sat straight. She knew it! Rong jie doesn"t seem like a normal person. Beyond oceans and sky, it must be out of s.p.a.ce! Maybe where Santa is.

Meanwhile, Mi Rong was seeing all the changes going on Qing Qing"s little face and the sparks in her eyes. This girl"s imaginary seems to be on top notch. She giggled lightly while Qing Qing was half waiting for her answer and half in her own thoughts.

"Qing Qing, you answer me first. Where do you think I come from? Ke ke."

"Uh, jie, how am I suppose to know."

"Ke ke, make a guess."

"Out of s.p.a.ce?"

"That"s ridiculous, make another guess."

"Then are you with Santa?"

"Santa, who?"

"Jie, seriously!? Then where is this far away land that you say."

Then unexpectedly, the door opened. Jun Kai"s handsome face appeared. His face showed signs weariness. His dark circled seemed to be clearer, but no matter how tired he look, his handsomeness did not lesson one bit.

"Papa?"

"Qing Qing, what far away land are you talking about?"

"Oh, about that..." Qing Qing suddenly had a bad feeling. It seems her father was not in a good mood.

Without waiting for Qing Qing to answer he directly asked Mi Rong, "Miss Mi Rong, I need to have a chat with you."

"Fine." However, even though minutes past the man still did not show any signs of speaking. "Well? Are you going to speak or not?"

"Come outside."

"Excuse me? Can"t you ask nicely?"

Regardless of what Mi Rong said, Jun Kai walked in and pulled her outside. His coldness emit around him. Although trying to resist, Mi Rong was still dragged outside. From the looks of it, it seems he must have suspected something from her. But what could it be? After processing what might have been the cause for his actions, she idly let him drag her as she couldn"t be bothered to use her strength. He seems to be heading to the rooftop.

Once they arrived on the rooftop, Jun Kai got to the point, "Where did you come from?"

"Jeju island, why?"

He then thought for a moment and asked, "Then why did Qing Qing ask you about a far away land?"

"Did you eavesdrop on us?"

"Just answer the question." It seems he only heard when Qing Qing asked about the far away land.

"That"s where my parents are." Mi Rong did not tell him what she was talking with Qing Qing in case he"d suspect her more. It looks like the accident must have been intentionally arranged by someone. The person he suspects happened to be her as she was the last person to go near his wife. Hmm, this place isn"t safe any longer.

"Oh." He saw Mi Rong lost in her thoughts. He never considered that her parents would be in heaven and did not intend to hurt her. However, he was still doubtful, "Then let me ask you this, did you..." kill Fei Ling. In the envelope he found yesterday made him suspect Mi Rong as he had just met her yesterday.

"Did I what?"

He recollected himself to alert Mi Rong, if she was the culprit then she may run off and asked again, "Why did you help Qing Qing."

"Listen, Qing Qing was not the only person I tried to help from that bus. Also, I was close to saving your wife as well, but the bus suddenly explode."

It was still not enough for Jun Kai as he asked again, "Why did you go and help them?"

Once again, Mi Rong didn"t have to think twice and answered directly and honestly, "I am a nurse and as a fellow human, I should. I can"t just let them be stuck in that bus."

When Jun Kai received her answer, he was quite disappointed as the culprit was still lurking around, "Sigh. I must have overthought."

"Then is this all you wanted to ask?"

"Hmm."

It"s always like this with this man, once he"s finished talking he gives you his cold shoulders. Mi Rong didn"t want to tolerate any longer and left first. But before she was about to walk pa.s.s him, she could smell his scent coming from him. She paused a little but then kept walking. Mi Rong could remember this scent from where she came from. It was so familiar but she couldn"t remember where it was from. Strange. How did he have the same kind of scent?

As she walked, Mi Rong considered what happened, luckily this was only what he had suspected and not about where she truly came from, but it seems there"s more to it. Someone must have triggered him to become doubtful at her. While walking, she slowly gathered her strength from within and thought of Xiao Bai. She was trying to call him through telepathy.

Then it connected, it took a while, Xiao Bai must have been looking for food. This boy once he was able to grow up in size, he never stopped eating. "Mi Rong! You"ve been quiet for 3 whole days! Where are you?"

"Before you start complaining anymore, can you come to meet me at the hospital playground in an hour?"

"Well, I just finished the mission you told me to do. Then to get out I"ve got to try to solve your house formation and then run all the way to the hospital, by the way three days without food..."

Mi Rong then distressfully cut it off by saying, "I"ll cook you food."

"Mi Rong ah, you see I"ve been craving your sweet and sour pork, Kung Pao chicken, and maybe some roast ducks?"

"Fine. You better be there on time, else the dishes will be crossed out one by one."

"Yay! I"ll be there."

After she had finished talking to Xiao Bai, Mi Rong had arrived in front of her room. However, she noticed that there were more bodyguards guarding the door, hmm. She then went in and sat down beside Qing Qing. She was about to open and continue reading her book, when she saw Jun Kai walking in. She took a glance at him and then ignored him entirely. He only stayed for half an hour talking with Qing Qing then left when someone called him.

After he left, the doctor came to check on both of them. Both her and Qing Qing were fine, so Mi Rong then asked Qing Qing if she wanted to go out for a walk. Qing Qing immediately agreed as she began to get bored of sitting around. The doctor and nurse then prepared a wheelchair for Qing Qing and skillfully transferred Qing Qing on the wheelchair. The medical team then left. As Mi Rong and Qing Qing were about to go out, Mi Rong who was pus.h.i.+ng Qing Qing was stopped by the bodyguards outside.

"Miss, boss said young miss shouldn"t go out. It"s for her safety."

Here we go again.
