Birth Of A Beauty - 45 We could have gone together.

Li Seulbi woke up early in the morning. After freshening up, She started to clean her room. She was singing her favourite chinese love song while doing her works.

‘As I was defenseless,And quite careless

You came into my world ,And swept me off my feet.

But how could you then Disappear without notice

From my world without a trace.All left is memories

You exist somewhere deep in my mind

In my dreams, in my heart and in my song..’

Li Seulbi took the big teddy bear in her embrace and roam here and there as if they doing a couple dance. Su Yumi who was intending to enter Li Seulbi’s room to wake her up, felt some noises coming from inside. She slightly opened the door and took a peek. She was shocked to see the scene playing in front of her. Her dear granddaughter was dancing and singing with her teddy bear.

She felt happy seeing Li Seulbi happy. She thought she will just close the door and notinterrupt her but *Bang* Some noise came from downstairs. Upon hearing the noise, Li Seulbi looked at the door. The door was slightly opened. She hurriedly put the teddy bear aside and quietly sat on the bed.

Su Yumi who waslooking at the stairs, Now looked at Li Seulbi again through the slightly opened door. But Li Seulbi was no longer singing and dancing. Su Yumi cursed at the one who caused the sound. She opened the door. ” Xiao Seulbi, You are up?” Li Seulbi nodded her head. ‘ Did she caught me dancing and singing?..What should I say if she mentions it?’ Thinking this Li Seulbi’s face reddened.

Su Yumi noticed that and immediately asked in worry ” Xiao Seulbi, Are you ok? Why is your face so red?” Li Seulbi became more embarrassed as she lowered her head. “Yumi, I am fine.” Su Yumi was confused by her action. Then she realized something. Su Yumi said with a smile ” I just came by to call you for breakfast. I thought you might be sleeping, So I just took a peek. But I saw you already woke up and..” Li Seulbi’s heart skipped a beat. She mumbled ” And..” Su Yumi smiled even widely ” And even cleaned your room. ”

Li Seulbi asked “Didn’t you see anything?” Su Yumi chuckled ” Haha, Xiao Seulbi How can I not see?..Though I am old, My eyesight are good. I saw..” Li Seulbi again felt her heart thromb rapidly. Su Yumi was enjoying her reactions. ” I saw you were relaxing like this after cleaning up.” Li Seulbi sighed a relief.

Su Yumi patted her back ” Come after getting ready.” Li Seulbi nodded her head.Su Yumi left the room and went downstairs.

Meanwhile;

In the kitchen ;

*Bang* The plate dropped from Li Ri’s hand as she saw her father’s appearance. Li Cheng took his seat and began to pour a glass of water. Upon hearing the noise, Tang Fian and Li Ruan hurried to the kitchen. “What is this noi-” Tang Fian was about to shout when theysaw Li Ri’s shocked expression. They followed her gaze and noticed she was looking at Li Cheng. Li Cheng’s back was shown to Li Ruan and Tang Fian, So they couldn’t see his face.

They looked at eachother in confusion. When they reached to face Li Cheng, Their eyes widened. Though Li Cheng was old, He looked still handsome. But today his appearance frightened his own family.

After his conversation with Li Seulbi that day, He was so guilty that he felt anger boiling within his heart.

After Tang Fian closed the door, He became like a mad person. He threw the things here and there. After he felt exhausted, He leaned against the wall. He stared at the homemade alcohol which was stored below the table for a long time. He got up and picked one bottle and took it down in one go.

*Cough, Cough* After he finished one bottle, He still felt unsatisfied. He repeatedly drank many drinks until he felt satisfied. Li Cheng was too drunk this time. He tried to get up but fell on the floor. He laid like that who knows how much time staring at the ceilings.

After a long time, His body trembled as he started sobbing. ” Zhao Seong..Why did you leave me? We could have gone together. Our daughter..Nono..I , Li Cheng, has no authority to say Li Seulbi his daughter..Your daughter suffered a lot because of me. I was too arrogant and rude to her. I am happy Xiao Seulbi has learned to voice out her thoughts. But Seong Seong I swear, I am really guilty and want to start afresh being a responsible father..But I think I have no chance now. She hates me..Hates me alot..She should..It’s her right..to..to..hate..” He then fell asleep just like that.

Next day he woke up at the day time,He felt severe headache arising. He wanted to get up, but still felt a lot tired. He sat up slowly and looked around. He saw there was lunch at the table. Seems like Tang Fian put it there and fled away already thinking Li Cheng will shout at her again.

Li Cheng didn’t wanted to eat anything but his body reacted as his stomach churned right at that moment. He ate the food just to fill his stomach. After he was done eating, He drank mouthful of water. Afterwards He felt quite energetic. He got up and looked here and there. He saw the whole room was in a mess as everything was shattered in the floor. He sighed and began to clean the mess he created.

After cleaning the room, He felt so tired that he didn’t even bother to wash his face. He laid on the bed. Just then, Tang Fian knocked door. ” Cheng Cheng, Can I come in?” Hearing there was no response, Tang Fian opend the door and noticed Li Cheng was laying on the bed. She didn’t see his face as he laid facing against the door. She also noticed that the room was clean. ‘ There were a lot of noise of breaking things, So why this room is so clean?’ She looked around and saw the filled dustbin with broken things. She sighed and thought that Li Cheng’s anger was now subsided. But She still didn’t talk with him too much, So She left the dinner in one table and left the room.

Li Cheng wasn’t sleeping as he was still thinking about Li Seulbi’s cold words. Li Cheng sat up and took out a cigarette. He smoked until the room was filled with smoke. He coughed hard as he felt quite suffocated. He opened the nearby window. The cold breeze entered the room as the smell of cigarettes faded away. It made him feelbetter.He stared at the garden for a while in a daze’ She might hate me, But I am still her father..Biological father..She might not forgive me..But I will try my best on my side to be like her father..I will try my best from tomorrow.’ He thought. That night the two person promised that they will try their best to win over Li Seulbi’s heart.
