Chapter 107 - Your Child

"Are you sure you can deal with it?" Ling Huansheng's question stunned Ling Yue. She needs a few minutes to answer his question.

"I-I do-don't know..." Her voice started to crack. "I love him and I want to be with him now. If ... if that time really comes ... I will deal with it and I'll not blame you." her voice shrunk. "For me...the most important thing now is your approval." Ling Yue closed her mouth, preventing sound of tears escape from it. Her pathetic expression squeezed Ling Feng's heart.

Ling Feng gave up.

He rubbed his sister's head. "Since this has already happened, let's just see how it goes."

Ling Yue's throat grew tight with tears. Ling Feng's gentle strokes made her guilt even greater. Her trembled hand reach out to his hands. "Feng ge ... please don't hate me ..." She whined. "I'm sorry...please forgive me..."

Ling Feng felt the hot sting behind his eyes. He didn't know since when their little girl who always they protected has now turned into a woman. The last time he saw her crying like this was at their mother's funeral. She was smaller than him but she never showed the slightest grief after that. Likewise when their father mourning into his sadness and forgot about them, she remained standing with her head raised and smiled sweetly at them. When she lay helpless between her death, Ling Yue kept smiling and told them to forget it. She never asked for anything excessive. She did not want to burden him or her other brothers. And Ling Feng made this girl cry again today.

"How could I hate you." He hugged his sister's body. "Because I know him so well, it's a little difficult for me to accept it. But I will try to. Maybe someday, not now. I just hope for your happiness... and if he really can make you feel that way, I have no other words."

Ling Yue sobbed getting louder.

Ling Feng's eyes were foggy. "Listen, if one day, he makes you cry like this, come to me." Ling Feng patted her back to soothe her.

Ling Huansheng had never seen Ling Yue cry so miserable. He knew Ling Yue always tried to keep them from worrying. She never showed her weak side in front of them. But now ...

He quickly knelt down and spread his arms to Ling Feng and Ling Yue. "Jezzz you can come to me too. I can take down his company in an instant."

Ling Huang gave a small smile. Their precious girl was really something. Among the billions of men in this world, how could she be lured to a dangerous man like Xi Jian? First of all, he was also attracted to her. He stood up and approached his three embracing siblings. He stroked Ling Yue's head before wrapping the three of them in his hands. "I'll give you something. If he makes you unhappy, you can stab him with it later." He wondered what kind of poison he will give her.

"So are we good?"

The three of them could hear Ling Yue's muffled voice. They broke free one by one.

"Yes, maybe?" Ling Huang glanced at Ling Feng, trying to read his brother's expression.

Ling Feng didn't say anything and patted her shoulder. "Rest for now ... your days ahead will feel more tired in the future."

"Is that a suggestion as I think?" Ling Huang raised an eyebrow which was greeted by Ling Feng's ferocious look.

"Don't you have to go back to the hospital?"

They both excused themselves and keep bantering until they disappeared behind the door.

Ling Huansheng pulled her up to his side, waiting for his sister's crying to stop. "I bet that guy will dying happily seeing you crying like that because of him." Somehow Ling Huansheng still couldn't accept it. They grew up together thus he felt closer to her than his other brothers.

"Ah Sheng ..." with watery eyes she looked at her brother. "Please..."

"I know ... I know."

They did not speak anymore and only sat side by side until Ling Yue fell asleep on his shoulder.

Xi Jian didn't mess with his words. He really intends to hold his wedding next week. He delayed all his schedules today and called in the best vendors in this country.

Ling Yue was shocked when the meeting room she entered presented marriage proposals from various parties. She glanced at Bai Xu who looked increasingly exhausted. Without leaving his professional smile, he asked Ling Yue to come in and sit down.

Xi Jian who saw Ling Yue came up, smiled softly. He wrapped his arms around Ling Yue's waist and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Several vendor representatives gaped seeing Xi Jian's different attitude.

"We didn't meet for a night and I really miss you so much." He whispered in Ling Yue's ear which made her blush.

"What is this? Don't we have a final meeting about King Empire's celebration?"

"This companies can wait."

Bai Xu who heard it could only cry silently.

"Let's choose which one you like."

Xi Jian pulled out a chair and invited Ling Yue to sit before he sat next to her. there are so many vendors who look at her brightly, hoping their companies will participate in this grand event.

Ling Yue tucked her hair in her ear and smiled nervously. At first, she wanted to refuse but Xi Jian firmly said that if she didn't choose, the most luxurious option would automatically be used.

"Uhmm ... thank you for coming here in between your busy schedule. I want to have a simple and private party so I hope you have an elegant minimalist concept." Ling Yue could not help speaking out after Xi Jian had keep pushed her earlier. "Is that okay?" She asked Xi Jian.

"Whatever your wish is my command."

Some women who heard it expressed jealousy in their hearts. Xi Jian didn't care if their party only attended by people closest to them. Less people is better. He did not want to show Ling Yue to the crowd.

Seeing Ling Yue begin to seriously choose everything, involuntarily Xi Jian's smile widened. They decided with navy, gold and white colour theme. They chose everything carefully and simple from invitations till the dessert. Bai Xu immediately finished the rest once the main plan had been received.

Ling Yue fell on Xi Jian's office couch because she was too tired and excited at the same time.

"You did a good job."

Ling Yue glanced at him who was sitting at the head sofa. "You really are a terrible boss."

With just his glance, Bai Xu and his other assistants were kept busy in and out of the meeting room. Ling Yue could not imagine how the other board directors would react when they learned that their meeting had been delayed.

Xi Jian sat next to her, raised Ling Yue's body and sat her on his lap. He leaned Ling Yue's head against his shoulder.

"So ... how was last night?"

When Xi Jian welcomed her this morning, he noticed Ling Yue's eyes were slightly swollen despite being covered in makeup. His hands stroking her back and arms gently.

"Are they hard on you?"

Although nervous, Ling Yue adjust her position and leaned completely on Xi Jian.

"No."

"So why were you crying?"

Ling Yue remembered Ling Huansheng's words and giggled. "Because of you?"

"Me?"

"Hmm ... what will you do if I really cry because of you?"

"Don't. I'll kill myself because of that." He held her tightly. Imagining Ling Yue sobbing hence only made his heart ache. Xi Jian's perfume slowly tickled her nose calming her heart.

"You know, Ling Huansheng asked me what if someone would come someday and claimed to have taken your child ..." Ling Yue stopped before continuing. "What are you going to do?"

Xi Jian slipped his head between her shoulders. "I honestly have experienced that before."

Ling Yue distanced herself and wanted to see Xi Jian's expression.

"I'll tell you later. That's not a good memory."

"Is that ... really your child?"

"Of course not! I always wear protection and—" Xi Jian pursed his lips and hugged Ling Yue again. "I'm sorry. I was a jerk. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. I ... I'll do something."

Suddenly Xi Jian felt down and didn't know what to do. He was afraid that Ling Yue was disgusted with him.

Ling Yue broke away from Xi Jian when there was a knock on the door. "I think it's already time for the next meeting. Let's go."

Xi Jian studied Ling Yue's face to see her change and turned gloomy again.
