Chapter 113 – Keeping The Devil In Oblivion.
On the other side, Wen Sying came out of the bathroom wrapped in a deep cut bathrobe, her curves getting overly revealed by the way she tightened the sash at her waist. Her wet hair and the light but sharp makeup touches were making her look more seductive in her ways.
As she walked inside the room, her eyes went to gaze at the man who was sitting on the couch pulling one leg over the other, with a glass of champagne in his hand. "Oh, darling! Why are you still sitting on the couch? The bed was all empty and nicely prepared; you should have taken some rest"
The woman said, walking to take her side beside him on one of the couch's resting hands. Zheng Wenting took a leisure sip of his glass and then lifted his eyes up to look at her. His eyes showed almost no hints of interest to her looks.
His blasé expression, souring the mood of Sying. But she, getting determined with her moves she did not let go of her opportunity and wrapped her arms around his neck, making him come close enough to her where he can easily get the faint smell of fragrance she has applied on herself to entice him.
"Wenting, is there something wrong? Are you upset with something?" she asked, taking her lips close to his ears while rubbing her cheek lightly with his.
The man did not reply to her words, rather questioned her in a straight manner. "Did you go to meet Li Xue today? How did things go there?" As he asked, his brows got jointed together; whether it was fear or anticipation, she couldn't tell. But she felt hurt and mistreated inside.
Biting her lips inside, she said with an impaired expression "Wenting, Li Xue does not want to forgive me … I worked so hard for the last 5 years for her, but she is still not ready to forgive me. I always tried to take care of uncle and aunt for her and also you, yet she can't feel my sincerity. Tell me … tell me please, am I still lacking somewhere? What else can I do, so that we can go back in our time? I feel so miserable, yet she is not showing any concern"
She said, giving out some sobs in between her words. Her eyes also showed the traces of her tears. Looking at her like this, Wenting quickly placed her glass back at the table and moved around to console her.
"It's okay, babe! You already did your best. Let us give Li Xue some time, she will understand you as well. And about her being so indifferent, didn't you already know how she is? She has been like this from before, never giving any value to people's love and effort around. But also to look at the brighter side we have always been her priority, so sooner or later she will surely come back to us"
To his such understanding words for Li Xue, some traces of deep antagonism flashed in her eyes. But it was gone the moment before the man could even notice it. When he gazed at her to confirm if she was fine or not, Sying shook her head in denial, "No, Wenting! You are still not understanding. Li Xue has changed this time. I can't imagine what she did in the morning".
"…" the man was confused as he still did not know the events from the morning. But finding his woman in such a debilitated state, he all of a sudden became all furious at Li Xue. Just opposite to the favourable tone he has used for her before, he asked "What did she do this time? Did she insult you there?"
"It's not me but Uncle and Aunt. She insulted them like no one would have ever done to anyone. I felt so bad. It was me who has asked them to give Li Xue a chance, but now I really regret it. I don't know, how am I going to face Uncle and Aunt now. Aunt Liu even got a small scratch crack on her wrist bone. The doctor said that she would need some time to recover", Wen Sying informed everything to Zheng Wenting, feigning a perfection of innocence on her face.
Her words were not the truth but it was also not any lie. She again did the act in which she was the best. Presenting the facts in the broken segments so that the people in front of her could not get to find the real truth behind.
As expected by her, the moment she completed her words Zheng Wenting stood up in fury. "Li Xue has really outstepped her line. Did she lose her morals along with her chastity back then?"
His words instantly washed Sying's heart with satisfaction. She happily looked at the man's back and smiled, then getting back to her composure, she said "Don't get angry, Wenting! Li Xue was too angry that's why she was like that, otherwise, I know she would never do something like that to her own parents. We are her friends. If not us, then who will understand her".
Once again, Zheng Wenting felt that he wasn't wrong to choose this woman over the beauty of Li Xue. "Sying, you are really so soft at heart. I feel so lucky to have you in my life", he said, stepping forward and embracing her.

Next day,
A faint fragrance of lavender was in the air, while the soft light of morning sun was peeping inside the room, silently from the window as if it was trying to not let a particular person know its involvement in an audacious act.
An audacious action of waking up the beauty from her dream, while keeping the Devil in the oblivion.
When Li Xue felt the warm, healthy sunlight kiss her skin; she felt so fresh and full of energy. She was all alone in her room, her face glowing blissfully under the warm rays of the sun. A smile got plastered over her lips indicating that she had a very sound, peaceful sleep after a really long time
She stretched out her hands out of the blanket to relieve her not active muscles. Sitting up, she looked around to see from which corner was the sweet fragrance of the flowers coming, but nothing came to her vision.
"Umm … this is such a fresh morning", she commented and then was about to turn to her side to look at her little princess when suddenly a clanking sound, out from the kitchen disrupted her actions.
