Xie Yuansheng placed Feng Xinying on the mattress very carefully. He sat down beside her and said, "You look so pale darling. Haven"t you eaten anything?" Stroking her soft cheeks with his knuckles he looked into her eyes and then her entire body. She looked so frail and thin that he couldn"t understand what was happening. The last he saw her, she was pretty much okay. Also as far as he remembered, he had got out of the car to see who that boy was who was running in the side alley because he suspected that it was Feng Xinying. There were many things he had thought about when he had gone for that meeting with the underworld mafia leaders. He was supposed to give up his position to another person.
He had come to know about Shu Jing Min"s hand in planting Ho Rad in the Crocodile Organization and he wanted to confront him but when he saw him in the s.h.i.+nas.h.i.+ Residencies, he was utterly confused. He remembered being shot at but how did he end up waking in his old house? There were too many questions that were bouncing around his head but the first thing he had to look was taking care of his wife who looked pale and thin.
Feng Xinying smiled through her tears. She held his face and said, "Xie Yuansheng, you were shot at. Do you remember that?"
"Yes."
"After that you had gone into a coma and then a few weeks of amnesia," she stopped and looked at him scared if she had divulged the information too soon.
"Amnesia?" he asked with a surprise. That could be an answer to many of his questions.
When she saw a frown on his head, she added, "Let us take things slowly dear. I don"t want to stress you. All I can say is that you have recovered today and I am the happiest person in the world. I want to revel in this happiness. From tomorrow I will tell you each and every thing that has occurred when you were unwell. Is that okay?" She rubbed his forehead to remove that frown.
Xie Yuansheng nodded because more than him he was worried about the woman in front of him who was carrying his baby. He covered her with the blanket and said, "Don"t worry. Things are going to be okay soon."
She lied down and kept looking at him. "Yes…"
The two of them wanted to talk a lot but then they even wanted to stay quiet for each other"s sake. Finally Feng Xinying slept off feeling very tired and relaxed at the same time. When Xie Yuansheng saw that she had gone to sleep, he left her and went to take a shower. When he came back he saw that she was still sleeping. He looked around the room and found a lot of doc.u.ments piled on the table. He walked towards them and started reading one by one. He was surprised at the progress Feng Xinying had made all this while. He checked the date and was stunned to know that it was almost a month later than the time he was shot. He looked at his wife and it pained his heart as to what all she might have gone through.
The first person who was on his target list was Shu Jing Min. He remembered that he mentioned about Feng Xinying taking over his business by fraud. If that was the case, why did she do it? Did she come to know about his sinister plans? He had kept her away from everything but she was slowly getting embroiled. He had to find out what she did and how it impacted Shu Jing Min. He would carry forward from there and now not anyone harm the only treasure he had in this world.
He was thankful to her that she didn"t want to lose him and patiently waited for him to come back. His determination to take over as the CEO of Feng Conglomerate increased multifold.
Feng Xinying woke up in the evening and saw him immersed in the files. Was she dreaming? Just to make sure that it wasn"t a dream, she got up from the bed and walked to him. He saw her coming towards him and gave a lovely smile. When she went near him, he wrapped his arms around her tummy and said, "How is my baby?" Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his arm. "Xinying!" he shouted. "Why did you pinch me?"
Feng Xinying started laughing. He was there for real. She rested her head over his and said, "Just seeing that you are really here in front of me."
"Do you want me to show that I am really here? I have my ways, you see," he replied sounding so lewd that Feng Xinying couldn"t stop her laughter.
"No, I am fine for now, so you better stay away from your pregnant wife," she replied in between her laughter.
"Hmm… but that is not right darling. After all I was having amnesia for a month and I am sure that I didn"t have s.e.x with you during that time. So you have to give me my time for that," he said shamelessly.
Feng Xinying stood up and kept her hands on her waist. She raised her eyebrow and said, "How do you know that you didn"t have s.e.x with me?"
Xie Yuansheng was shocked. He said, "What?"
"What?" she repeated.
"Does that mean that you had s.e.x with me when I was not me?" he asked amazed at Feng Xinying. How dare she?
"You mean I shouldn"t have had s.e.x with you even if you begged me during that time?" she asked as she turned around and collected her hair to make a bun.
Xie Yuansheng didn"t know what to say. So he stammered, "N- no, you should have had s- s.e.x with me. But then I wasn"t your husband that time."
"Eh? What do you mean? You are my lawfully wedded husband every time. Do you want me to show you the red marriage certificate?"
"What I mean is that you should have denied me that time!"
She tied her bun and asked, "Why?" Then she turned around and added with a tilted head, "Maybe I should deny now. After all you need to recover…"
