Xie Yuansheng smiled and took his wife to the bed after taking the remote and keeping it on the bedside table. He made her lie next to him and covered her with a blanket as he slid next to her and buried his face in her neck. She kept her leg on him and they slept again.
The sh.i.p.s reached the Pacific Ocean precisely in the time as was scheduled. A yacht was already standing there to take the crew of each s.h.i.+p and sail back. The Captains along with their crew took their boats and lowered them on the ocean waters after they had stopped the engines of the sh.i.p.s. Along with the crew they all went to the yacht.
Inside the engine room of the third s.h.i.+p, Jiao Long kept shouting for help. She looked at Shu Jing Min, who was staring into blank s.p.a.ce. Sometimes he would laugh uncontrollably. While Jiao Long was tied in the engine room, she reflected back on what all happened in her life. She was the queen and now she was at the mercy of Xie Yuansheng. She had planned on eliminating the entire family of Fengs and had vouched to kill the last of the Feng generation after her father had refused to share the money with the two daughters from his mistresses. She had developed hate for them and it was then when she came in contact with Shu Jing Min, who was hungry for money and power and who had no morals. Along with him, she brought her plans to fruition. But today everything had gone to the dust. How come the things changed so drastically?
Shu Jing Min looked at her and started laughing. He said, "Jiao Long, what are you thinking? See, now we can be happy forever. There will be no tensions."
Jiao Long looked back at her husband. She couldn"t help crying. Feeling that the end was near was more frightening than having sudden death. All of a sudden she saw that the engines have stopped. The sh.i.p.s had come to a standstill. There were people walking outside on deck. She could hear the water splash around the s.h.i.+p as a boat was lowered, and then the boat went away. She remained quiet. She looked at Shu Jing Min who was looking in blank s.p.a.ce again and said, "Let"s never meet in our next life Jing Min…"
"Hmm…"
Back in the bedroom, Xie Yuansheng woke up precisely at the time he was asked to press the b.u.t.ton. He looked up at Feng Xinying and kissed her chin to wake her up. It is time. Feng Xinying rubbed her eyes as Xie Yuansheng turned to pick the remote from the bedside table. She raised herself on the pillow. He brought the remote to her and gave it in her hand. She placed her finger on the b.u.t.ton and then with other hand brought his finger over hers. Together they pressed the b.u.t.ton.
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, an explosion occurred. The explosion was so huge that within a few seconds all sh.i.p.s wrecked and sank in the waters. A few minutes later, the sea gulls could be seen flying around everywhere with a lot of cacophony.
Feng Xinying rested her head back on the pillow and Xie Yuansheng tossed the remote aside. He looked at her and kept his forehead on hers. They both knew that the revenge was over. Now they were free from poisonous plots that had rusted their family and had shaken the roots. The need for revenge in both of them was so much that at the end of it when Shu Jing Min"s man shot Xie Yuansheng, Feng Xinying"s soul was being gnawed by her existence. The need for revenge was like a worm that was beneath her skin that was crawling and giving her nightmares. The amount of tension that she had was like an open wound whose only cure was cold hard revenge.
When Xie Yuansheng had regained his memories and Feng Xinying told him everything, he knew that he would bare a grudge against those two until he died or he took avenge, whichever was first. And he was too young to die. He had to settle the scores in the most brutal way so that Feng Xinying and he were satisfied.
The explosion had lit the sky in the Pacific Ocean, but it was the dawn of the day that had lit their being.
Xie Yuansheng kissed Feng Xinying"s lips and they were like that for a long time until both of them were relieved of their remnant tensions.
None of them wanted to go anywhere that day. They remained in the house. Their mind was at peace.
Two months later:
Feng Xinying had developed a craving for Burmese food. Her belly size had increased a lot and she had become pretty chubby.
Even though Xie Yuansheng would make different dishes for her whenever he was home, she was not satisfied. She would urge him to take her to her favorite restaurant. It was one such day when Xie Yuansheng had taken her out for dinner and they were sitting in the restaurant. Feng Xinying had ordered five dishes and while she was eating them, Xie Yuansheng was looking at her with wide eyes and wondering where did all that food go? She had put on weight and he was sometimes scared that would their baby be a chubby one? He wanted his daughter to look as beautiful as his mother-in-law although he never told this to Feng Xinying. But the way she was eating these days, he was getting worried.
He wanted to say something to her about her diet, instead what came out of his mouth shocked him, "Yini, baby, is that all? Do you want to eat more? I earn a lot of money to order five more such dishes…"
Feng Xinying glared at him, "What do you mean Shengu? Can"t you see that it is not me who wants to eat but it is the baby who forces me to eat? I want a healthy child!"
"Of course darling!" cleared Xie Yuansheng. "I only want you to eat well." He called the waiter and ordered more for her. The waiter was also shocked after seeing Feng Xinying. Xie Yuansheng gave him a glare warding him off as to how dare you even look like that at my wife. She will eat whatever she likes. The waiter ran off from there. Xie Yuansheng picked the napkin and wiped the sides of her mouth clean. Then he said, "I am worried about just one thing."
Feng Xinying looked up at him with her mouth full of noodles and said, "What darling?"
"Will you come back to shape after delivery?" he asked very softly fearing her reaction.
Feng Xinying stuffed the noodles down her throat and looked at him with anger. She said, "Shengu, you are worried about my shape? If I will become shapeless, would you stop loving me?" She looked as if she was about to start a world war!
"No!" he replied quickly. "I meant that you are so beautiful whatever way you look!"
"Whatever way I look?" Feng Xinying was aghast at his statement. She was about to blast him as to how was she looking now when her phone rang suddenly. It was Xie Shengjun.
"Feng Xinying! Keira…"
