Su Cha: Ying Sheng's mother
Mu Cheng: Her lover
Ying Huai: Ying Sheng's father
Su Cha sat in her car and took out her phone and sent someone a text message.
"Are you home? I need to see you."
Her phone vibrated indicating the person's response.
"Are you alright? Yes, I'm always here for you. I would be waiting for you."
Su Cha's lips curved into a soft smile and drove to the man's house.
Actually she and the mysterious man have been seeing each other for twelve years now. He was her first love but because he comes from a poor family her family didn't allow them to be together.
Su Cha met Mu Cheng again two years after her marriage with Ying Huai. First they decided to be just friends , this before she found out her husband was cheating on her.
Even though she didn't want to get married to Ying Huai she decided to honor the marriage but why should she when her husband was sleeping around.
Then one night when she was coming from work her car broke down and Mu Cheng offered her a lift. Since it was raining heavily that night he brought her to his apartment which was closer.
It was actually in his apartment where they first had s.e.x. She can still remember that night, how his touches made her feel alive than she has ever been in years.
"This...is just casual." She had told him that night. Su Cha wanted him to know that even though they were once lovers they can't be anything more than an affair.
Mu Cheng just laughed , "Anything you want."
Mu Cheng made Su Cha happy. He treated her like a queen, something Ying Huai never did. Also, she hated Ying Huai, after all he took everything away from her.
Su Cha arrived at Mu Cheng's apartment and made sure no one was around. They had bought this apartment which was away from the public's eyes and also had great security.
Su Cha always comes here at night because if anyone sees her, the controversy would be something she can't even imagine.
Face was everything families value so Su Cha knew the dangers involved if she got caught.
Su Cha covered her face and rang the doorbell. Mu Cheng opened it quickly as if he was waiting for her at the door.
He closed the door and scrutinized Su Cha with a worried frown on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Su Cha nodded and hugged him, wrapping her hands around his waist.
"Ying Huai knows, Mu Cheng."
Mu Cheng furrowed his brows, "He does?"
Su Cha pulled away and nodded.
"Yes. I don't know how or when he found out about us."
"Oh you're talking about him finding out about our affair. I thought he knew-"
Su Cha shook her head. "No, he doesn't know that one yet. If he does I'm sure he would make a fuss already."
Mu Cheng held her hand and led her to the sofa.
"What did he say?"
"Nothing. I also know about his affair so there is nothing he can do. I suggested we get a divorce."
Mu Cheng frowned when he heard her.
"I'm sorry, Susu. The last thing I want is to cause problems for you. Your father-"
Su Cha smiled at him. "It's okay. I know what I'm doing. I don't care as long as I'm with you."
She said as she reached out and planted a kiss on his lips.
Mu Cheng deepened the kiss as his hand slid under her skirt.
"I-I have to go home early tonight." Su Cha m.o.a.ned when he sucked on her neck.
"I would make it quick then." He chuckled.
Su Cha nodded as she gave herself to him right there on the sofa.
She loved this man so much because he made her forget the bad marriage she is in. The daughter she never wanted. When she was with Mu Cheng she felt like a teenager again.
*****
After the wild s.e.x, they laid in each other's arms. Mu Cheng played with Su Cha's hair while she traced her fingers on his chest.
"I have to go." Su Cha whispered.
"Okay, be careful. Text me when you get home."
Su Cha smiled and nodded. Planting a kiss on her shoulder he let her go.
Su Cha suddenly missed his touch. She put on her clothes and headed towards the door.
"Su Cha?" Mu Cheng called behind her.
Su Cha turned to look at the man she has loved all her life. He wasn't the richest person or most handsome person in the world but he was hers.
He was looking at her with such an unreadable look in his eyes.
"When are you going to tell Ying Huai the truth?"
The smile on Su Cha's face faded. "I-"
"It's been years already, how do you think I feel seeing another man raise my child?" He said raking his fingers through his hair.
"I know but I need time. You know once he knows the truth he would kill you! My father-"
Mu Cheng chuckled and shook his head.
"It's been years now, are you afraid you would lose the Ying empire when he finds out the truth?"
Su Cha shook her head. "No, I'm afraid he would kill you when he finds out the truth. What do you think he would do when he finds out he has been raising another man's child all these years!"
Su Cha was clearly irritated.
Mu Cheng sighed, "Sorry."
Su Cha walked back to him and kissed him.
"I know it's hard but just gave me a little time."
"Alright, I love you." Mu Cheng whispered against her lips.
Su Cha smiled softly, "I love you too."
She pulled away and hurried to her car and drove home.
She really hopes her husband was still on a business trip and hasn't come back. She doesn't want to deal with his questions right now.
She just wants to shower and sleep. Tomorrow she will visit her daughter.
