330 Too sad to see

Liling\'s eyes fluttered and she slowly opened them;

She was lying on a bed, the morning rays seeping through the beautiful curtains, her eyes struggled to remain open. She stretched herself; there was a little pain, obviously from the way she slept.

One…

Two…

Three…

It clicked. What was she doing on a bed?! The last thing she remembered was going to the restroom to ease her bowels and now she was here! She remembered feeling dizzy… no, no, no, has something happened to her? Did someone kidnap her? Try to rape her?

Her hands inched down and touched in between her legs but she didn\'t feel any pain. She heaved a sigh of relief. But where was she?

She looked around and she nearly lost her breath; she was back at the new house and she was sleeping on their bed!

Was it Liu Wei that kidnapped her? How would he kidnap her? No…

She was still thinking when the door creaked open and Liu Wei stepped inside; her eyes immediately shut close and she pretended to be asleep. He walked over to where she was and dropped something on the side stool; she could feel him staring at her but she didn\'t move, neither did she breathe.

\'\'Your heart is beating so fast that I can hear it, I know you\'re awake. \'\'

He said and Liling\'s eyes fluttered, but she still didn\'t open them. She was so scared; scared of him being angry at her for leaving him; and then she remembered that other woman she saw him with at the hotel, what if she was around?

…Maybe in the guestroom or something? Or maybe it was a one night stand at the hotel

She wasn\'t even thinking of how she got there anymore, her main concern was his relationship with that woman.

\'\'Sunshine…\'\'

He called and Liling\'s heart skipped a bit;

He still called her sunshine, she was still his sunshine?

She felt a light squeeze at her heart which nearly made her tear up;

She felt him sit beside her on the bed; \'\'I brought breakfast, if you can sit up and eat…\'\'

This time, her eyes couldn\'t help it, it opened on its own will and the first thing she saw was his face; it\'s been so long since they\'ve been this close to each other, so long since she could feel his warm body next to hers.

Her eyes became blurry till tears rolled down;

Liu Wei lifted his hand to wipe her tears, not saying a word; \'\'I\'m sorry. \'\' She whispered, she knew she needed to apologize, that was first, any other explanation followed later.

She felt his hand pause; his eyes stared at her but he didn\'t say a word. He just kept staring; pain written within;

\'\'Do you know how much I\'ve missed you?\'\'

He asked. his voice sad; Liling\'s cries became louder, she felt like cutting herself with a sharp knife and letting the pain ease out;

Liu Wei lips pursed as he stared at her;

\'\'You won\'t ever leave me again, will you? \'\'

\'\'I won\'t, I promise! \'\'

She cried, her face already red;

\'\'You will tell me everything bothering you even if it means someone dying? \'\'

She nodded frantically not able to hold on any more, she threw herself into his arms; her cries ringing in the room;

\'\'I\'ve missed you so much; so much. \'\'

\'\'I\'ve missed you too. \'\' Liu Wei replied, kissing the side of her head;

She turned and planted soft kisses on his chest; they hugged for a while, listening to their heartbeats before he spoke up;

\'\'Yan Ran sent me a message that she had my father and that I should leave you if I wanted him alive; I knew I did wrong by not telling you but at that time I was not thinking straight, the only thing on my mind was how to save him and be with you; so I thought of a plan; I planned to leave as she had said but return later on and take my father to a safe place after which, I\'ll tell you everything, but I didn\'t know that they never intended to release my father in the first place, everything was a ploy to get me away from you.

I didn\'t know what to do; then I saw you with that lady at the hote…\'\'

\'\'At the mention of another woman, Liu Wei\'s brows creased;

\'\'What lady? \'\'

\'\'The day we met at the hotel, you were with a lady, I couldn\'t take the shock, that was why I walked away so fast, to avoid crying in front of so many people. \'\'

Liu Wei was quiet for a moment, trying to fix the points; he saw her once in a hotel and that was when he had a meeting with a client; he couldn\'t even remember her name, just the name of the company she worked for and besides she wasn\'t the only one present that day, there were two other men there, why did her eyes capture only that woman?

By the time he looked at her again, she was already crying; how did he automatically become the one at fault?\'\'

\'\'Sunshine, she\'s a client, and besides there were other people there, didn\'t you see? \'\'

Liling thought for a moment; now she thought about it, there were really other people there, how did she see just that woman, maybe it was because she too sad at that time, her brain could only capture what would make her sadder. It turned out that he was just having a meeting and she had blamed him in her heart, even walked out on him without a second thought, how much more was she going to hurt him?

\'\'\'I\'m so sorry… I\'m so sorry… please forgive me, \'\' She had doubted him at the simplest chance possible, what kind of a woman was she?

She apologized sincerely; her face buried in his chest;

Liu Wei understood her. Women were mostly jealous at any slightest incitement, so he forgave her immediately;

\'\'Was that why you didn\'t even look at me? \'\' Liu Wei asked and she nodded shyly;

He laughed; \'\'It\'s alright now, everything is going to be fine now; you said Yan Ran called you? \'\'

He asked; creasing his brows with concern as he remembered what she just told him;

Liling nodded;
