Lim De Zi had managed to sneak Chang Ling out of the hospital disguised as an old lady on a wheelchair. A car was waiting for them at the rear side of the hospital where the street was empty. They sat in the car, abandoned the wheelchair in a corner and drove off. In the car, Chang Ling removed her disguise and wore the dress brought by Lim De Zi. It was a blue colored silk dress with matching sandals. It wasn"t gorgeous but it looked lovely on her. Even though she looked frail, she was able to hold back and walk. All the while Lim De Zi kept asking her whether she was feeling good or not and she kept answering that she was fine very patiently.
She maintained a low profile as she was still trying to adjust to her surroundings.
Lim De Zi would keep looking around to see if anyone was following them or not. She glanced at Lim De Zi. She held his hand and asked very sweetly, "Why are you so nervous Lim De Zi?"
"I am scared that my father"s men will emerge out of some where" he looked at her anxiously. "You don"t worry Chang Ling, I won"t leave you now," he added holding her face with his hands.
She knew from her past experiences with Lim De Zi that he was a little foolish.
She squeezed his hand and said, "I don"t think they know anything about what we are doing."
He smiled nervously, "It is possible but I can"t underestimate father."
They reached the registry office half an hour later. The driver dropped them and left immediately. He didn"t want to get embroiled in family politics. He was scared that if Lim Chuen would come to know where he had come, he would kill him.
Lim De Zi and Chang Ling entered the office and sat down with other couples there. No one noticed them. As they held their hands together, they looked inconspicuous. An hour later their number came. They reached the table where the concerned clerk was sitting. There were so many couples that day that had come for marriage registry that the clerk didn"t have the time to look at anyone"s face. He just glanced at them and then signed the marriage certificate.
A while later Lim De Zi and Chang Ling emerged as husband and wife.
Back in the Feng office building, Xie Yuansheng had carried her to his office chair where he made Feng Xinying sit and then went behind her. He dug out a jewelry box from his suit"s pocket. He opened it and took a chain out of it. Dangling the chain in front of her eyes from behind, he said, "Moon and stars for you…"
Feng Xinying looked at it with surprise. It was a white gold chain with a diamond pendant that comprised of a full moon in the center and numerous stars surrounding it. The diamonds s.h.i.+mmered as the lights fell on it and the light reflected on Feng Xinying"s white, silky soft skin. He was mesmerized yet again.
Feng Xinying removed her hair to bare her neck for him. Xie Yuansheng kissed it and made her wear the chain. "This the closest I could get…"
Feng Xinying took her fingers to the necklace and stroked it lovingly. "Thanks Yuansheng, I will always wear it…"
Xie Yuansheng came in front of her and then kissed her on the head. "Yingying, I am the happiest person on this earth right now. There"s nothing that could make me happier," he said as he embraced her. She leaned her head against his waist and wrapped her arms around it.
He stroked her hair lightly. His heart was somersaulting and her inner G.o.ddess was dancing with joy. She looked at him and said, "What about our honeymoon?"
He looked down at her and said, "Where do you want to go?"
"Wherever you will take me? But away from everyone… I want just the two of us there…"
He glanced deeply in her eyes and nodded. He whispered, "Okay" and then pushed her head back in his waist. He thought of the perfect destination for her.
It was not long before that his phone started buzzing. He had to let go of her and picked up the phone.
"Brother, many congratulations! That was the best news I have heard in so many days!" It was Xie Shengjun"s excited voice.
Xie Yuansheng started laughing. "Thanks older brother. Sorry, I got married before you but then Feng Xinying is worth losing an elder brother"s chance of getting married first."
Feng Xinying smiled at the brotherly talk.
"We are planning to announce it publicly this weekend. You have to come. Also where is Keira?" he asked.
"She hasn"t come as yet… I have been coaxing her to return… I don"t like anything without her… Can you please ask Feng Xinying to talk to her?" he requested.
"Of course!" replied Xie Yuansheng. "We will talk to her but did she say why isn"t she coming?"
"Thanks bro. No she didn"t. I wonder if she hates me…" said Xie Shengjun in a droopy voice.
Xie Yuansheng looked at Feng Xinying and she understood. "I called her yesterday but there was no response. Don"t worry, I will call her again today."
"Feng Xinying will call again and don"t think so far ahead of yourself," said Xie Yuansheng and disconnected the call.
Once again he looked at Feng Xinying and the necklace she was wearing. He knelt in front of her. Holding her cheeks in his hands he kissed her pa.s.sionately on the lips. His kiss was steeped with a lot of pa.s.sion that ignited a fire within her belly. It was a kiss that promised realness. It showed of his primal desire that was burning within him. And with that kiss he told her that he was connected within, rather than just showing things on façade. When he stopped his kiss, she was left for wanting more.
"My Shengu," she smiled. All of a sudden her eyes sparkled as though she remembered something.
