The fear slowly spreads away in the darkness. Yan Huaâs hands are a little trembling. As she hesitates to shout for help or call someone sneakily, she suddenly hears a sound.
âMommy!â
âGungun?â Yan Hua stuns. She finds that a small kid is squirming on that manâs knees.
She rushes to the door and presses the switch. The light is on.
âMommy!â Gungun is cute and smiles at her. Then he stands up to pats Lang Ruoxianâs face, âUncle!â
Yan Hua lacks her strength and sits down to the ground suddenly.
âItâs cool on the ground. Stand up.â Lang Ruoxian puts Gungun down and comes over to help her.
Then he is kicked.
âLang Ruoxian! Do you want to scare me? Why did you sit there? Who did you want to scare in the middle of the night?â Yan Hua strongly condemns him. At the end she still feels uncomfortable and kicks him again.
âMommy! Mommy!â Gungun runs down from the sofa, âDonât kick uncle.â
Yan Hua glances at him, âDonât you wear shoes?â
âUncle!â Gungun shouts.
Gungun hugs Lang Ruoxianâs leg, âMommy is so fierce.â
âShe scolds Gungun. How about hitting her buttocks?â Lang Ruoxian holds the little kid. Gungun twists his body and covers his little buttocks with his hands, âPain. Donât hit.â
Yan Hua rubs her eyebrows and finds herself sweating all over. She chills when the air conditioner blows.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Lang Ruoxian finds that she is uncomfortable.
âGo away!â Yan Hua gives him a fierce look.
But he holds her easily.
âLet me go! What are you doing?â Yan Hua is shocked.
Gungun still claps his hands and shouts, âHold mommy! Hold us together!â
âDonât move.â Lang Ruoxian puts Gungun on the bed. Then he puts Yan Hua into the quilt, touching her head.
Yan Hua wants to put his hand aside. Lang Ruoxian says angrily, âYou have a fever.â
âWhose fault do you think it is?â Yan Hua stares at him.
Itâs clear that she is ill due to be frightened.
âIâll find a doctor.â Lang Ruoxian is going to leave. Yan Hua says angrily, âThere is no doctor here.â Then she wants to sit up.
âLie down.â Lang Ruoxian prevents her.
âIâll get the medicine. Go away.â Yan Hua is dizzy and lies back again.
Seeing she turning red, Lang Ruoxian feels sorry for her. He also feels guilty, âWhere is it? Iâll get it for you.â
âIn the left drawer.â Yan Hua darts a glance sideways at him.
Lang Ruoxian finds out the medicine box. He picks up the antipyretic and the antiphlogistic. Then he lets Yan Hua eat them with warm water. Yan Hua is starting to feel sick with no strength to resist him. So she just takes the medicine and lies down.
âMommy...â Gungun is a little scared. In his view, his mother is so powerful. But now her face is red and she lies down there without moving.
Yan Hua raises her eyes and tries to smile, âMy good son, Iâll be better after sleeping. Could you ask your uncle to find Xiaojiu to play with you?â
âMommy...â Gungun hugs her.
Lang Ruoxian holds the little kid, âIâll take care of your mom. Listen to me, Gungun.â
When Fei Ying opens the door, she canât believe that she sees Lang Ruoxian.
âYou... You... You...â She stammers.
Then she hears Fei Yi saying behind her, âYou are here.â
âYan Hua has a fever. Please take care of Gungun for me.â Lang Ruoxian sends Gungun to them.
Fei Ying should have asked Fei Yi whether he has already known that. But when she hears that Yan Hua has a fever, she has no time to blame Fei Yi. She hugs Gungun immediately, âDoes it matter? I have some medicines.â
âShe has taken medicine. Letâs wait for few minutes. If she still has a fever, Iâll take her to a hospital in the city.â
Fei Ying nods, âOkay. Please take care of her. Call us whatever you need.â
Lang Ruoxian goes back to the room with an ice bag from Fei Ying. He wants to put it on Yan Huaâs head. But itâs so cold, so he finds a towel in bathroom to wrap the ice bag. Then he puts it on her head carefully.
âUm...â Yan Hua hums. She moves her head to topple the ice bag.
Lang Ruoxian stops her head lightly, âGood girl, donât move. You will be comfortable later.â
âLang Ruoxian.â When he thinks Yan Hua is asleep, he suddenly hears her words: âAre you deliberate? You have planned to come. But you cheated me.â
âIâm sorry.â Lang Ruoxian touches her hot face that burns his heart. âIâm wrong. Iâll tell you everything I do in the future.â
Yan Hua closes her eyes and pouts her lips. âYou even scared me...â
âItâs my fault. I wonât scare you anymore.â
âYou make me sick. You have to compensate me.â
âOkay. What do you want?â
âWill you give me everything I want?â
âYes. Of course.â
âI miss my parents...â Yan Huaâs voice is getting lower and lower. âI must have parents. They must be looking for me...â
Lang Ruoxianâs hands are rigid for a second. Then he slowly grasps Yan Huaâs hands.
âIâll find them. Iâll let you meet them.â
Yan Hua falls asleep, a few strands of hair sticking to her cheeks. Lang Ruoxian carefully pulls them away. Then he stares at Yan Huaâs face for a long time, until he realizes that her palms are not so hot.
He takes down the ice bag and measures her temperature again. He finally rests assured after he is sure that the fever has gone away.
Lang Ruoxian goes to the living room and calls someone.
âYoung Master.â There comes an old voice over the phone.
Lang Ruoxian asks, âIs there a clue?â
âNo. It seems that someone has erased Yan Huaâs traces.â
If so, it at least means Yan Hua is not an orphan. She does have a certain identity and background.
âKeep searching.â Lang Ruoxian squints. âSince some people donât want her back, there must be some people who want her back. Try to find out if there are other people looking for Yan Hua.â
âYes, Young Master.â
When Lang Ruoxian returns to bedroom, Yan Huaâs face turns less red. She breathes shallowly. He sits down beside her and takes her hands. After a while, he feels uncomfortable. He just gets up and takes his suitcase and finds out some comfortable clothes to wear. Then he lies down in bed and hugs her with her quilt in arms.
They have an atmosphere of peace and harmony. But Fei Ying is getting even with Fei Yi.
âHave you already known that he would come?â
âYes. He is on the guest list. But he set out half a day late because his company has something to be finished.â Fei Yi hugs her. âDonât be angry with me. If I told you earlier, you would tell Yan Hua.â
Hmm... Thatâs true.
Fei Ying puffs out her cheeks, âBut if I knew he would come, I wouldnât let Yan Hua come here.â
âWhy? Havenât you been nobbled by Lang Ruoxian and on his side?â Fei Yi never forgets that his small woman has cooked same deserts for several days.
Fei Ying smiles like a little mouse, âThatâs last time. I have helped him.â
Can he buy her for life only by a prescription? How can it be possible? Sheâs not that kind of person.
âHah, hah...â Fei Yi shakes his head, âIâll remind him later.â
âAh, I donât really want to help him.â Fei Ying hugs him, âHe canât give Yan Hua a happy life. Itâll be all over if other people know it.â
Fei Yi touches his wifeâs head, âI have told you to worry less. How do you know Yan Hua doesnât like Lang Ruoxian? Maybe one wishes to fight and one wishes to suffer.â
âSheâll never say yes even if she likes him.â Fei Ying knows Yan Hua. âShe canât promise him for Gungun.â
As the day grows brighter, another speedboat comes up from the humble pier. Two men come down from the boat, and the one on the right is in anger.
âDonât be angry. Mr. Hua. We have arrived here.â
Both of them are very young. They look less than twenty years old. The left man with a hippy smile hugs him. âRelax. Or youâll have premature ejaculation under so many pressures.â
âItâs none of your business!â The angry one is beautiful.
He likes a fairy boy with red lips and white teeth. But his eyes are full of anger, as if everyone owes him money.
âWell, cool down. Itâs for your own good.â
âFor my good? You dare to knock me out and bring me to this desert island.â
The other man comes closer, âLook carefully. It isnât a desert place with bright scenery, blue sky and white clouds, Bikini... Come on! Look over there. How beautiful girls are there!â
âHey!â He waves with a waving face, and the girls across the street greet him happily.
âHey, Mr. Hua, you see... Mr. Hua? Where are you?â
Turning around, he finds that the teenager around him has run back to the speedboat.
âIâll go first. Have fun by yourself.â
âAh, donât go!â
A sudden sound comes from the speedboat. He scolds and jumps up to the speedboat. He shouts at the beautiful young man, âI owe you. Letâs go!â
The man who plans to pick them up doesnât know why they go back. He just calls K immediately.
âDoes she wake up?â At noon Fei Ying runs over and sees Yan Hua lying still. She whispers, âWould you like to ask her to get up and eat something?â
Lang Ruoxian thinks for a while, âWeâd better not. Let her sleep. When she wakes up, we can let her eat something.â
âOkay. Iâll take Gungun to have dinner.â
The Fei couple take Xiaojiu and Gungun to the restaurant. They hear that lunch could be eaten by the sea. As soon as they get to the lobby, they hear a noise.
âK said I would live in an apartment. Now you tell me itâs gone. What do you mean? Do you despise me?â
âOh sweetheart, how could it be! Iâm so happy to let a beautiful lady like you to come. I just...â
âAll right. Donât coax me.â The woman interrupts him. âItâs better to arrange a room for me now.â
The woman wears a long red dress. Her long yarn skirt is fluttered lightly and is fell open on her thighs. Her honey skin is particularly bright. She has brown wavy curly hair and pretty face. She is full of wild sexy.
âShe is Sadie, daughter of the oil tycoon of Dubai.â Says Fei Yi. âShe has twelve older brothers without any sister.â
âHer family must love her very much.â
âNo. Dubaiâs women are not high-ranking. Sadie has nothing but money. She just gets her pocket money every month.â
Sadie sees them too, she glances at Fei Yi, and then at Fei Ying.
âWhatâs that look in her eyes?â Fei Ying stares back.
Fei Yi takes her to the dining room and says, âLeave her alone. Letâs go to lunch.â
âK, what does that Oriental man do?â
K shakes his head quickly, âBaby, listen to me. You canât attract that man. Change your goals. There are so many men! â
âI wonât attract him. Itâs all right that let him attract me!â Sadie licks her lips as if she is relishing something delicious.
