Chapter 40 - Another Problem
Xian closed the doors behind him. "Mishi please don't misunderstand us. That was nothing", said Xian with a worried face.
Mishi tried to control her tears but the image was still revolving in her mind. Xian came close to her when Mishi turned to her and said, "Xian what do you expect if I see you with someone kissing? I know we don't love each other and you hate me but still you shouldn't do that. If you want revenge then take it but not like this..."
"Mishi there's nothing between us. She used to like me since long time and I refused her several times. She's shocked that I got married because I always denied her but with you I did the opposite. I married you indeed for taking revenge but then I don't want to...I hope you will understand me", said Xian.
Mishi looked at him and said, "Xian I don't know what should I say....I did a mistake earlier by not trusting you so this time I'll trust you. I know she's your friend and maybe in those years she couldn't help but fell for you. I understand that but the things you said to her the day she just got here that you hate me and wants to take revenge...."
Xian reminisced that day and said, "Mishi you were there? I mean I didn't see you. Well I said that but I think you didn't here the whole conversation. I did marry you to take revenge but now I feel happy around you...especially when I tease you. But wait are you jealous that she kissed your husband. Don't tell me you're in love with me". Xian smiled saying this.
"Xian...You should freshen up", said Mishi when Xian held her hand and back hugged her. "Mishi thanks for trusting me. I'll clear the things with her so that she won't do this again...".
Mishi nodded and said, "I've to go now so release me". Xian released her and Mishi walked out of the room. Xian took his clothes and went inside the washroom.
"Brother Li, Mark come have dinner. You can discuss the things later too", said Mishi while standing at Mark's door.
"Okay.....we're coming", said Mark. Mishi nodded and walked away. Chang and Chunhua were playing with mother in the living room. "Mother do you know Chang was asked to be an actor by an agency but he refused the other", said Chunhua.
Biyu looked at Chang and asked, "why did you do this?"
"Well I want to study.....I'm not interested in being an actor", said Chang.
"But you've got looks", said Biyu.
"I told same thing to him", said Chunhua.
"Looks ain't everything. Acting should be good....", said Chang.
"You can participate in an audition", said Biyu.
"Mother I don't want to. I want to work under Brother Xian and Mark.... I've interest in finances and stock markets", said Chang.
"Ok that's great", said Biyu. Mishi shouted from the dining room for all to come there for dinner.
"Mishi has prepared the dinner. Let's go", said Biyu and walked together with CC.
On the dinner table Mishi served the meals to every one and sat beside Xian. Mark looked at Xian and gestured him what's wrong. Xian gestured him to talk later.
"What are you two doing?", asked Biyu looking at Xian and Mark.
"Nothing", said Mark.
"But your eyes are telling that.. "
"Mom I was thinking to go out with the whole family on a trip", said Xian.
"Really?", asked Biyu with a surprising look.
"Well I thought to spend sometime with my family too. Chang when will your exams get over?", asked Xian.
"Brother we are getting holidays after 3 months", said Chang.
"That's quite long. Why don't we all go somewhere for 2-3 days...like a short trip", said Mark.
"Wow it will be fun", said Chunhua.
"Okay then next week. We will leave on Friday and then we can spend two days there", said Xian.
"Hm that's good. CC don't have to miss their studies", said Mark and smiled.
"Finally my son is taking care of his family too. I'm happy that you two got married", said Biyu and smiled. Xian looked at Mishi who smiled at him. After dinner every one rested for their rooms.
Xian was laying down on the bed waiting for Mishi to come. She came there after 15 minutes and started putting her blanket on the couch. "Hey Mishi you don't need to sleep there....here sleep on this bed. I promise I won't touch you neither you will", said Xian.
Mishi looked at him and said, "It's fine I'll sleep here..". She took off her earrings and was going to get inside the blanket when Xian came to her and carried in his arms. Mishi got surprised with his sudden gesture. "Leave me...", said Mishi in a low voice.
"Tell me you're jealous because your husband was being kissed by other woman", said Xian.
Mishi looked at him and said, "Why would I be jealous?" She tried to release his grip from her waist when Xian touched her face with his fingers. Mishi looked at him and whispered, "What are you doing?"
Xian looked into her eyes and then at her lips....he leaned close to kiss her when Chunhua and Chang came there. Hearing their voice Mishi slapped Xian hard and then pushed him. Xian stumbled and fell on the couch while Mishi stood straight.
"Sisi, exam results are out. So guardians have to come tomorrow", said Chang and his eyes fell on Xian who was on the couch holding his cheek. He couldn't resist and asked, "Brother Xian what happened? Why are you holding your cheek?"
Mishi looked at him and said, "oh he was bitten by a mosquito".
"Inside the house? I mean there's no mosquito here", said Chunhua.
"I was in the garden and there I was bitten by it", said Xian and stood up and looked at them with a smile. "So you were saying that you've a parents teachers meeting. We will come to your school", said Xian while rubbing his cheek and looked at Mishi.
Mishi went to them and said, "let's talk for sometime...I missed you two a lot".
"We can talk here...we were missing brother Xian too", said Chang.
"Sure....here come here...", said Xian and took them to the couch. They talked with each other till 10pm when Mishi said to them, "now go to your rooms...study for sometime and then take sleep".
"Okay Sisi", said Chang and Chunhua and walked away from there. Xian went behind them to see if they're gone. He then closed the door and turned to Mishi.
"Why did you slap me?", asked Xian.
Mishi stood up from the couch and went to him. "Sorry I couldn't think any other thing and you were holding me so tight that's why I slapped you".
"You love to slap me right?", asked Xian.
"No..", said Mishi and rubbed his face with her soft hand. "Is it hurt that much? What if they see us like that...that's why"
Xian held her hand and leaning closer to her he said, "Can I?"
Mishi blinked her eyes and said, "wh...wh..what are you saying?" She pushed him lightly but then Xian cupped her face in his hands and kissed on her gentle soft lips. Mishi closed her eyes in fear. Xian lightly grabbed her face and started kissing her. Mishi responded to him and started kissing him but then she realized that he doesn't love her. She pushed him and said, "we shouldn't do this. We don't love each other..", although she loves her but she lied. Xian didn't say anything and went back to his bed, laid down and covered himself from the blanket. Mishi looked at him and turned back.
She laid down on the couch and mumbled in her mind, "You shouldn't have responded. He hates you and when there's no love then it's not should be done". Xian on his bed thought, "its true I don't love her but I can't stop myself from getting close to her. I told her that I won't touch her and she'll miss my touch but I'm doing the opposite. It feels like I'm missing her touch....Xian you can't fall in love with her..."
His phone buzzed and it was Mark's message. "Yin is in the hospital. Some thing bad happened to her". As he read the message he got up from the bed. Mishi looked at him and asked, "What happened?"
"Yin is in hospital", said Xian.
"What?", said Mishi with shock and get up from the couch.
"I'll go there. Don't worry I'll tell you in the phone...", said Xian while looking for clothes from the cupboard.
"Okay...take care of her", said Mishi and gave him the car keys.
"Hm...Don't worry", said Xian and walked inside the washroom. After changing he walked out from the room to the hospital.
