Chapter 16 - Her Precious Gem.
Wen Sying peered in the direction where Li Xue disappeared with the little girl. She still wasn't able to believe what she had heard. That little girl was her daughter! Li Xue's daughter!
She gazed at Zheng Wenting and asked with a confused voice, "Wenting, what was that? Was that really true? That little girl, was she really her daughter?"
He didn't look at her but said in a very disappointing tone. "How much I don't want to believe this but it's true. That little girl, Li Wei was her daughter. She was her daughter from that scan…" He did not complete his words, remembering the warning he had got earlier from Li Xue.
But his heart was twitching in pain. That was the woman for whom he has fallen hard but she never cared for his feelings. He loved her but she has cheated on him just to satiate her greed of fame.
Wen Sying has heard everything, both sets of words which were audible to her ears and also the words that weren't. She looked at the man whom she has got after so much efforts but all of her efforts were now wasted just by the sudden return of a woman. She hated her so much.
Li Xue got everything without making any efforts. Just a pretentious smile and everything was served to her in the well decorated plate. And even after that she always behaved as she never cared for those things.
"You still have feelings for her? Were you waiting for her to return? If you still love her then I am not going to stop. I know you deeply loved her in the past" she said, filling her round eyes with tears. One look at her and you can feel the pain she was trying to showcase.
Zheng Wenting looked at the woman. Her tears hooked the string of his heart bringing him back to realize who really cared for him. He can't ignore the feelings of the woman who has always been so dedicated to him.
To him, Wen Sying was a true jewel in this world. She has always been very caring and passionate for the people around her and was just opposite to Li Xue. He was confident that if ever a situation arises where she has to choose between her career and the people she loved, it would not take another second for her to decide.
For her, her people would always have a greater value, unlike Li Xue who has always considered her career to be her first priority.
This was the type of the woman he liked. A woman who was dedicated to her relationships. Zhen Wenting looked at her and smiled. Wiping her tears off, he gave gentle pats over her head to soothe her out, "Silly!! That was my feelings in the past. My present is you and I am not a man who would leave his present for his past"
"Really? I mean you don't have to pity me. I am strong enough to understand that love can't be forced", Wen Sying said looking at the man while blinking her long eyelashes in innocence and understanding.
"I am sure about the woman whom I want in my life. You can't force me to go back to her", he said firmly. His eyes became serious.
"Is it because she has a daughter now? Wenting, believe me I never thought that Li Xue was really involved in that scandal. I believed her but now looking at that small child … I don't know how to take everything", she said as if she was really regretting in her heart.
"I am wary, how will uncle and aunt react to this? They will truly be shocked. And now even Li Xue is taking me wrong. Her words made me feel like I stole everything away from her. How should I make her feel that I was just trying to help her? What should I do? Did I do something wrong?" letting her tears fall over her fair cheeks, Wen Sying practically clung onto him.
"There is nothing you did wrong, Sying. Don't blame yourself for everything. If she can't understand you and your feelings then it's her fault, not yours. Enough! Don't cry anymore. You have me and I will always believe you", he said and hugged her.
"But Li Xue…" she asked, still sobbing, placing her face on his chest.
"Don't worry. I will try to explain her everything", he assured her, gently caressing her back to console her.
Outside, Li Xue was sitting with her daughter inside the cab that was arranged by the company to bring her to the villa, where she was going to stay.
The little girl was gazing out of the window, enjoying the air blowing over her face. For her safety, Li Xue has only opened the window glass slightly that could only bring soft air inside. She knew her daughter loved the feeling of air blowing softly over her skin.
"Mama this city is so big. I really like it here. You don't have to think about me. I am all fine and happy with you by my side", Li Wei said, still looking out of the window.
Li Xue looked at her angel and then her lips curled up into a warm smile. There was no need for anyone else in her life because she has got such a caring and loving daughter in her life. Her precious gem.
Overwhelmed by a sudden warm feeling she hugged her daughter and placed a sweet kiss over her forehead, "Baby, you don't have to think so much about me. It should be me caring about you. You should just enjoy your time here and if you ever feel that we should go back then just let Mama know. We will go back to our old place. Okay?"
Li Wei shook her head in denial, then pinched her mother's cheek with her small fingers, "If I won't take care of you, then who will. I am your angel and you are mine. We are both for each other so we should share our caring with each other. And we are not going back. This is the reward you got for your so many years of hard work. We should enjoy it"
Li Xue's eyes were filled with tears. No one ever understood her love and ambition in the past. But this little girl got it so well. Was this the thing people call, deep relation of blood. Maybe! This was her daughter, whom she has given birth and has brought up on her own. How can she not know the feelings of her mother's heart?
