Chapter 646 – For The People I Truly Care.
Wen Sying turned to look at the door. Her eyes, getting a little surprised at first but then showing hints of happiness at the corners. "Wenting, you are here? Please, you don't have to ask to come in". She chimed with hope the moment her eyes caught the face of Zheng Wenting standing at the door.
Wen Sying was not expectant to see him here this soon. But seeing him come was a wish that she was wishing internally every passing second. After all, giving a man your five years will at least make a flower bloom in your heart for him. And that flower will not be so easy to give up, even if that is not for love.
Zheng Wenting nodded as he slowly took his steps inside the room. His eyes, looking at the manager for a moment, making her understand that it was her time to leave.
Da – Xia at once bowed politely to him before saying in a softer tone. "Now that CEO Zheng is back, I will let Sying be alone with him." She said and then without waiting, left the room at once, seeing the man nod.
Silence fell in the room as the two people were alone. Wen Sying looked at the man, her fingers fiddled among each other. She was getting more and more nervous seeing the man nonchalant yet in a serious expression. Not knowing from where and from what to begin, she simply started from the point where she stopped.
"Wenting, don't be upset with me. I didn't mean to upset you; it was just like I was very fearful of losing you. Li Xue was strong enough to forget you but I am not the same as her. I am really afraid of losing you. Please try to understand me".
At those words, Zheng Wenting turned to look at the woman. Her words jabbed hard on his heart, making it twitch with some pain. He did not know what that pain was for. Was it because Sying was looking more pitiful with a tear stained face? Or was it because she said he was easier for Li Xue to forget? But one thing that he was sure of was that, on hearing Sying's words again, the words from Li Xue on the call was striking back-to-back in his memories, making him remember her disappointment in him.
Getting all dispirited with her words, he tried to shrug off the mess of emotions he was feeling inside. "Sying, I am not here to talk about that now. Let's just let that be where we have left it and discuss …"
Wen Sying was at once panicked at his words. Not letting him complete his sentence, she just shook her head denying her thoughts. "No, Wenting, you can't blame me like this. You have to understand my side too. I never meant to harm Li Xue. I just wanted to keep you just for myself. But … but if you are upset, I will apologise. Please don't leave me. Don't leave me because of her". She pleaded, breaking into tears.
And looking at her like that, the first thought that stuck Zheng Wenting's was, 'If it had been Li Xue, she would have never begged and cried to make him stay like this. She would have just left like she did five years back, after explaining her side'. He sighed in regret thinking only if years back he would have taken a different decision, then the things today might be a little different.
But sometimes the pages of the book of life were just impossible to turn back and revise.
Zheng Wenting knew that well. After talking to Li Xue, at least he has come to understand that. Smiling slightly at something he, himself, could not tell about, he moved to reach Wen Sying, hushing her to calm a little for her breath.
"Wenting, I … I …"
"Shush! It's fine, Sying. I was not talking about it. Calm down, so that we can talk with ease." He said, slowly embracing her in his arms, pulling her head to rest on his chest.
"No, Wenting! I know you are here to end our relationship. But please don't do that. I will … I will …" Wen Sying's voice broke towards the end of her words as her breaths also became haggard. She was so panicked at the situation that almost all her sense to comprehend the things around were lost. Her voice only came to a surprising pause when she heard the man suddenly propose something exceptional to her.
"Sying, let's get married first".
Wen Sying could not believe it. Her eyes widened in surprise as she slowly pushed him a little back to confirm his words and her ears. "What did you say, Wenting? Am I hearing things? I heard you propose marriage. Did you …"
"I should have done that earlier, Sying. I am sorry for making you suffer like this. Because of me you were insecure. But now, I think I should not delay it anymore. Let's get this done soon. Let's get married". Zheng Wenting confirmed his words more, pulling his lips into a smile that never reached his eyes.
But the woman never had time to see all this. Just the words of the man were enough to send her on the waves of joy. "Wenting, you have really talked about marriage. I am so, so, so happy. I love you so much, Wenting. Thank you for asking me this". Wen Sying said, getting all overjoyed in herself. Now she doesn't have to stress about anything. She was all fine.
"So, when are we going to get married, Wenting? And your parents …"
Zheng Wenting thought for a moment but then lightly caressing her face, he said, "Don't worry about them, I will take care of it. First get well soon so that we can prepare for our engagement".
Wen Sying nodded feeling over the moon, but little did she know the thing that was compelling the man into the marriage with her. Being all oblivious, she again leaned forward to hug him.
Zheng Wenting also embraced her, looking at a distance and then slowly murmuring under his breath, "I think now, I would be a less disappointment in this life for the people I truly care for."
