It had been three weeks ever since that incident with Shu Ning had taken place. Feng Xinying had forgotten all about it. There was so much to do in the towns.h.i.+p project that she was focusing all her energy over there. One day she was so exhausted from running around here and there to monitor the site that she almost fainted. It was that day that Xie Yuansheng decided that she would no longer work on the site. He just couldn"t take any more chances with her, especially now that she was in her third trimester.
Lim Chuen had been tackled with nicely and Xie Yuansheng was happy about it.
Aunt Feng Jiao Long would visit Feng Xinying sometimes. Feng Xinying wanted to tell her about her pregnancy but because Xie Yuansheng wanted her to stay quiet about it, she pursed her lips every time she had an urge to declare to her that she was pregnant.
One day when Jiao Long had visited Feng Xinying, Su Haobing called. Feng Xinying went outside the room to pick the phone.
"Uncle, Su Haobing! You are calling after a long time. What is the news?" she asked eagerly as soon as she picked up the phone.
"Young miss, the date for the meeting has been finally fixed. It is going to take place next week," replied Su Haobing.
"That"s great uncle," she replied excitedly.
"But the venue has changed. The room that I had rented will be of no use now, so I am leaving it," said Su Haobing feeling sad that so much money was wasted.
Feng Xinying could sense it and she soon replied, "Don"t worry Su Haobing Uncle. I will send you some money. Also, where is the meeting going to be held this time?"
Su Haobing smiled at her sharpness and said, "It will be held in the outskirts of the city. There is a small hotel on the outskirts of the city, a little away from the highway. There are very few houses around that and the area is very quiet."
"In that case, how will even carry out the act?" asked Feng Xinying with concern because she didn"t want to miss the only chance.
"I will go to survey that area today, young miss, and will get back to you with my report," he replied. "I think I would be able to take a better shot at him over there."
"But you also need to escape once you have shot him," she replied with concern.
"Let me see how to go about it, young miss," said Su Haobing and disconnected the call.
"Next week," whispered Feng Xinying after the phone was disconnected. She couldn"t wait.
She went back to talk to her aunt. While talking she asked, "How is Shu Ning? I hope her craze is over."
Jiao Long laughed and said, "Yes of course! She is a funny child. Don"t mind her. Ever since Xie Yuansheng had given her that warning, she has become very timid."
Feng Xinying laughed, "She is still a child." Feng Xinying found her aunt to be a very sweet person. She was very friendly and it was really fun to talk with her. She was a happy go lucky kind of a person who didn"t have any complicated hang ups like her daughter Shu Ning. Once Jiao Long left, Feng Xinying asked the servants to take the box of rice cakes Jiao Long had brought, inside. She thought she would have them later.
Feng Xinying had totally stopped going to the towns.h.i.+p site and was in the house. She had heard that her movie would be released in the next ten days and so Lu Dao had called her for a press conference. The press conference was conducted very nicely and everyone praised the movie stars for their fantastic camaraderie and hard work. Feng Xinying shared her antics with the press and everyone had a great time laughing. It was all in a good spirit. Next day the papers were splashed with news regarding the press conference in which Feng Xinying"s popularity only increased.
That day in the evening Xie Yuansheng asked her, "If your movie would become a success, what would you give me?"
They were both sitting in the balcony. It was very cold outside, so Xie Yuansheng had brought a blanket to cover Feng Xinying, but she chose to sit in his lap and Xie Yuansheng covered the two of them in one blanket while he held her warmly.
Feng Xinying rested her head on his shoulders and said, "Another baby…"
Xie Yuansheng kissed her forehead and replied, "Did I tell you how much I love you today?"
Feng Xinying turned her face in his neck and said, "No… you have to tell that again."
"I love you sweetheart," he said as he rested his head on hers.
Suddenly Feng Xinying remembered him saying, "She is my childhood sweetheart" at Shu Ning"s place. She asked him, "Shengu?"
"Hmm?"
"You said that I am your childhood sweetheart at aunt Jiao Long"s house… What did that mean?"
Xie Yuansheng embraced her tightly and said, "That is one question you need to find an answer to Yini."
Surprised at his answer, she turned her face to look at him but he kept his hand on her face and turned it back in his neck. "Stay there, baby. I love your warm breath on my neck…"
Feng Xinying kissed him on his neck and urged, "Tell me Shengu. How would I know?"
He chuckled slightly. "No baby, I want you to find out."
"Give me a clue."
"Both our mothers died in an accident," he replied.
Feng Xinying frowned. She wondered how could that be a clue. Both their mothers died in accidents… She missed his words "an accident". She thought that she would think about it later and for now she would just enjoy the warmth of her husband. Soon she dozed off. Xie Yuansheng picked her up and placed her on the bed. He stroked her hair and said, "Sleep Yini…"
He was changing his clothes when he got a call from his man. "Boss, we have found out about Ho Rad. It seems that there is something very dark that he is hiding and this needs your immediate attention. If you can, you should come now. We have our eyes on him."
