Chapter 220 – Don’t You Want To Know About Li Wei’s Father?
Wen Sying did not know what went wrong but suddenly the most desired endorsement contract was taken away from her in just a blink of her eye. She has prepared and worked hard to get it but when she was about to get it, she was informed saying that the company still needed some time to think about it.
So there was no other way left for her than to ask Zheng Wenting's help. Though Zheng Wenting was still in the process of making a stable establishment in the industry market as the CEO of the Zheng Industries and does not have that rich connection, still for her purposes those connections could serve a great help.
"Wenting, I have really worked hard for this one. Please you have to help me out. I have no idea what went wrong but they are simply not allowing me to meet them", she said seductively as she wrapped her arms around the man's waist, getting herself close to him.
"Sying, don't be stubborn like this. You know I can't do anything. Helping you will only mean to stake my career and you know I can't risk my career for one of your endorsement play" He said with a tone of irritation in his words.
In the past, when he was with Li Xue, he has always wanted her to be the clingy one like this. But never thought that when he truly will get a woman like that he will find it to be troublesome. He always tried to help Li Xue on his own accord but she has always rejected it saying that she was capable enough to manage, making him go desperate to help her.
And now finally when he has got himself such a woman, he was feeling frustrated at her. Sying has always been like this. Very frail and dainty to people's eyes, wanting everyone to help her when in need but Li Xue has always been opposite to this. She was like a strong Empress, who alone was capable enough to rule the kingdom.
For some reason now, seeing Sying like this, his preference inside seemed to be changing. 'How better it would have been if I had Li Xue instead of Sying now. Maybe then it won't be this troublesome' a voice from inside shook him. But he quickly shrugged off the thought, thinking Li Xue to be an unacceptable one with so many stains from her past.
A woman who sells off her chastity for some career development can never be suitable for any man. At least she could never be suitable for him! He chanted inside himself.
When Wen Sying saw the man getting adamant with his words, she couldn't help but pull the same trick that she always used to make the man give in to her demands. Getting all feeble, she leaned more onto Wenting, to make him feel every delicate carving of her body.
"I know, Wenting. It's okay I know you can't help me with this. I can understand. Though this endorsement can boost my career, it's okay. I can't risk your priorities for it. After all, I am not Li Xue, for whom you have gone to any extent. I am not your first love to make you that dedicated to me. No matter how much I do or love you, it won't ever change the fact …"
She purposefully kept her words incomplete to fire the desire of the man inside. The desire to calm down the sobs of a weak woman. Her hands were already doing its work on him, making him go weak with the sensations she was giving to her.
No matter how badly she doesn't want to accept but at the end, it was the truth. Li Xue was still the soft spot in the man's heart, which can still stir his emotions and change his mood. She couldn't understand what made her once known best friend to be so much capable of still having a reserved spot in Wenting's heart when all this time she was with him.
Was her beauty that much unrivalled that she couldn't force her out even after giving all her best to the man? her mood soured thinking about it. But soon a voice inside consoled her, making her pride rise once again.
Even if Li Xue has beauty, everything has been snatched away. And it was her, Wen Sying, who has won everything at the end. Be it her treasured dream or career, her boyfriend or her parents …. Li Xue has lost her everything to her. In the end, it was she who won, so why to care about a loser? Wen Sying boosted herself internally as an evil smile drew on her lips, without her knowing.
To her best luck, that smile disappeared the moment it came, keeping the man into oblivion. It would have created a mess if she had been caught with that.
When Zheng Wenting looked at her, she was having a pitiful expression on her face. Sighing in defeat and giving in to her temptation, he wrapped his arms around her frame. "Sying, you know there is nothing like that. Li Xue was my past and there is no way she could be compared to you" He said as he tried to calm her down first.
Then moving his hand up to cup her cheeks he continued to explain, "And about helping her in the past, you already know it was my parents who wanted me to stick to her since they took her to be the best woman for me at that time. But their belief got shaken when they came across the news of her scandal. My connections weren't that rich, it was of my father's. You know I am still building my connections. I can't be that useful for you"
Hearing her words, Sying nodded pitifully but then again said, clearly suppressing her sobs in between her words. "I can understand; your parents are not ready to accept me. They don't think me to be worthy to become their daughter – in – law because I am an orphan and …" But before she could even complete her words which she has never intended to complete, the man interjected fiercely.
"Sying, never say something like that. You are the best choice for me. I don't care what people around say or how many objections my parents put forward, I only know one thing that if not you then no woman is worthy to stand by my side."
"I am not sure how much I could help you but I promise I will try my best to help you out. Just don't waste your tears. It makes me go weak" he said wiping off the minimal non-existent tears she had at the edges of her eyes.
"No, Wenting. You don't have to force yourself. It is just a simple endorsement. I can work to get some other. There will be more coming by the end of this year. So I won't be hurt even if I don't get this one. I want you to be happy at the end of the day because it is you who matters most to me" She said hugging him tight while placing her head on his chest.
Zheng Wenting's lips curled up to give a smile as he too embraced her. His ego was boosted. The woman has considered him to be her treasure rather than her own career, which Li Xue never did.
"Silly, never tell that you are not perfect for me. Because you are damn perfect for me and for my everything". He said.
His words intending something else which didn't fail to reach Wen Sying as she replied to him, "Really? Then show me! I want to know how perfect I am for you". She said, giving an exact seductive smile, the man was desiring from her. And that was what it took the man to pick the woman up in his arm and then throw on the well-cushioned bed, making the room soon get filled with loud and wild moans.

Back in Little Carnations,
Li Xue was standing all alone at the terrace. Her face was beaming with a satisfaction that she has never thought to come in her life. Gazing at the sky, she looked back at the events that happened today.
Her life has become a roller-coaster ride about which she, herself can't be sure. Just happened to be approx. 15 days since she has come to the city and everything around and inside her has changed. The city which was once a nightmare in her life has suddenly become a pleasant fantasy that she wanted to continue living in.
Just a day alone with Mr Beelzebub has torn away from all the walls of barriers she has created around herself. In the past when she left the city, she always questioned herself, 'What did she do to receive such treatment from this world'.
That question broke her the way that now even after seeing happiness around her, her heart questions her, 'Li Xue, what did you do to receive such treatment from Mr Beelzebub? What so special you got in yourself that heaven brought such a caring man in your life'. Everything felt so surreal to her.
Suddenly she was snapped back from her thoughts when felt a warm coat getting draped over her shoulders. "It's cold outside. Why are you standing here? You might get cold" The voice held concern. Her lips curled up when she felt the purity of selflessness, he held for her.
"I am fine, don't worry! Did WeiWei sleep?", she asked.
The man nodded and said, "Yes, she slept after hearing that story. She must have been exhausted and …"
"Shufen, don't you want to know who is Li Wei's father?" Li Xue asked out of blue, making the man stop in the middle of his words, all surprised. Even Li Xue has not thought to bring this up, but that question rolled out her lips on its own.
