Kate didn"t like what Xie Yuansheng said. "What do you mean we have our moments?" she asked too sure of the fact that Feng Xinying mustn"t be as chirpy and energetic as her. After all she was just eighteen and Feng Xinying was much older.
They came out of the car-racing arena and Kate stopped Xie Yuansheng by holding his hand. She said, "Brother Yuansheng, do you know that in my school I was one of the most intelligent girls. I was always in top ten students."
"That is nice," he replied as he wondered what Feng Xinying must have been doing now. Perhaps she must be in the office at the moment. He checked his watch and as he looked up he found Kate staring at him. "So what is it that we are going to try next?" he asked removing his hand.
"How about a roller coaster ride?" replied Kate with enthusiasm. "I love them!"
"Sure!" he said and the two of them went to buy tickets for that.
Once they had boarded many people looked at the two of them. They looked so cute as a couple that Kate was almost blus.h.i.+ng. However, Xie Yuansheng was hardly even noticing all that. He looked forward to the roller coaster ride. When the ride started, it was slow at first but as it picked up speed, it went through the dark alleys where none of them could see anything and only screams could be heard of all those who were aboard the ride. Kate caught Xie Yuansheng"s hand so tightly and at one point of time she didn"t let him go. She screamed continuously while Xie Yuansheng was only thrilled. He laughed away all the while. When the ride was over the two of them got down with adrenalin running throughout their system.
Kate wanted to go for more rides, but Xie Yuansheng somehow wanted to go back. He looked at his watch and wondered once again if Feng Xinying was back at home. It was 4PM. "Let us go home. I am tired now." he said to Kate.
"Why Brother Xie Yuansheng? We have just started to have fun!" she coaxed him into going for more rides.
Feng Xinying reached home at 4PM from office and found it to be very quiet. She went to Xie Yuansheng"s room but he wasn"t there. Lu Boyun was in the kitchen and she asked him, "Where is Xie Yuansheng?"
"Young Master haven"t returned so far," he replied as he poured some chrysanthemum tea for her.
Feeling sad, she sat down on the table in the kitchen. She had thought that he would come and she would go with him to the doctor but he hadn"t come back. It seemed that he loved all the outings. The doctor had advised her if Xie Yuansheng liked it, then he should pursue that activity. It was important for his mental health. Besides she wanted him to be cheerful so that he was ready for the psychiatrist.
Quietly she started having tea. She looked at her things in purse. The appointment was at 5:30PM and she had to start soon or else, she would get stuck in the evening traffic. Hoping that Xie Yuansheng might come anytime, her eyes kept darting at the door of the kitchen. She thought she would call him, but then refrained because she thought that he would wonder why she had called him. After all he was Shengu - the Chef for her. Her heart became lonely.
After having tea she got up from the kitchen and went to her room to collect all the important doc.u.ments. It seemed that she had to go alone for her appointment. She changed into something light and then went down the porch. Her misery increased with each pa.s.sing step as to when would her husband come out of amnesia. Her eyes became misty but she didn"t let the tears roll out of her eyes. She had to be strong.
She went out and stood on the porch to wait for the driver to come. The evening had become chilly and as usual she wore a light shawl. A sudden cold breeze made her s.h.i.+ver a little. The car came and she was about to step inside when she saw another car coming in followed by the security car. She smiled and her heart bounced with joy when she saw Xie Yuansheng getting out of the car. But she was shocked when she saw another girl getting out after him.
Kate? What was she doing here with Xie Yuansheng? Feng Xinying was confused. She had seen Kate very little after she had come back from America. Being Keira"s sister, she knew Kate very well. In fact back in America, Keira had introduced Kate to her. But what was she doing here? Did she lose her way or was Xie Yuansheng"s amnesia caught? She waited for them to come near her with bated breath.
Kate walked behind Xie Yuansheng like a small puppy following its owner. Feng Xinying found that odd. When they came near her, Kate looked at Feng Xinying and said, "Good evening Sister Xinying, how are you?" Saying that she inched closer to Xie Yuansheng.
"Kate, how are you? How come you are with Xie Yuansheng? I hope everything is good at home. Is Keira okay?" asked Feng Xinying, concern etched over her face.
"Yes, everything is fine," replied Kate. It was as if she didn"t want to talk to Feng Xinying.
"So how come you are here?" asked Feng Xinying totally intrigued. "Did you lose your way home? Do you want to be dropped?"
Kate noticed that Feng Xinying was wearing loose black pants paired with a dark green s.h.i.+rt. She had a soft white shawl wrapped around. Even though what she wore was simple, she looked very elegant and refined. Her hair was open but her face was looking refres.h.i.+ng like morning breeze. She was indeed very pretty and Kate had to give her that brownie point. After all she was a model and an actress. Her movie "The Golden Flower" was running in the theaters for a long time now.
Kate shook her head.
