Empress Of The Lost Kingdom - Chapter 186
As the night prevailed over the Jing city, Tang Wei Sheng drove his matte black Bugatti Veyron to the parking lot of sky castle.
He killed off the engine and sat desolate while clutching onto the wolf plushie toy attached to the car’s key.
For the last ten years, he held on to the finger sized as if it was his precious possession.
It was not just a key chain for him,
It reminded him the day when he met that girl, the one who holds starlit skies in her eyes.
The girl whom he wants to protect, the girl with whom he wished to grow old,
But all of his hopes and dreams were brutally crushed.
The fate…the curse that has been living inside him…melted on his blood and flesh…
The curse which tore her apart from him.
It was only last year, he met Li Juan on his birthday, they became a couple and even planned to move in together.
He dreamed about living his entire life with her.
But…but…that will never happen again…
Even though they broke up and moved on with their own lives, deep down in his heart, he believed that she will eventually return to him.
Tang Wei Sheng never meant to stare at the couple kissing inside the elevator.
But the two figures who has been locked in a passionate kiss, felt vaguely familiar.
Especially, the woman and her curly raven hair which framed her pretty face,
Li Juan!!!!
The wolf toy slipped down from his hands and fell on the ground by low thud.
Shocked and startled by the noise, Li Juan who was nearly on a trance state of mind, tore apart her lips from Lee Tae Yang. Both of their faces were flushed red like a tomato.
How embarrassing it is?
Li Juan who was slightly panting due to breathlessness, grabbed on to Lee Tae Yang’s arm and hid behind him while catching her breath.
Looking at the man in front of the elevator door, Lee Tae Yang was equally surprised. He was aware of the fact that Tang Wei Sheng lives in the same building as Zhang Zhi Jun, but he never expected that they will crash into the man who was once known as Li Juan’s boy friend.
He acknowledges the mortified man with a slight nod and walked out of the elevator, holding Li Juan.
Embarrassed to death, Li Juan only want to escape from the sight of the stranger’ She hurried behind her man with fastened steps.
“Clack,” A sharp voice heard from the ground.
Li Juan lowered her head and found out that she has stepped on the strangers car key.
“Oh I am really sorry,” She apologized with a flustered voice.
As the moment Li Juan’s big black eyes met with stranger’s startled face, she was taken aback for a moment,
Tang Wei Sheng,
An unknown fear crept over her body as she glanced at his frosty eyes.
Did he see them kissing?
Li Juan’s gaze immediately reverted back to Lee Tae Yang, who stopped in tracks and looking at them with an indifferent look on his face.
As she bent down to pick up the car keys, the wolf plushie toy attached to the key caught her attention.
Even though the color on the toy was faded and old it was still nicely taken care of,
It was the first ever plushie toy Li Juan has made….she thought she lost it somewhere…why is it with him?
Li Juan rose into her feet and raised her eyes at Tang Wei Sheng who remained speechless,
She brushed off the dust on the key chain and extended her arm towards Tang Wei Sheng. After a moment’s delay, he robotically reached for the car keys, their fingers slightly brushed off while exchanging the keys.
For a moment, Li Juan saw a murderous glint flashing in his almond eyes,
“Sorry,” Li Juan immediately retracted her arm and head back to the man who was waiting for her.
“Yangyang, let’s go,”
Lee Tae Yang softly smiled and wrapped his arm over Li Juan’s back, leading her to the car leaving an anguished Tang Wei Sheng behind.
That man and Li Juan, they are together now,
There is no way that she will return to him.
He lost her…he lost her forever,
———–
As soon as Lee Tae Yang came out of the shower, he saw Li Juan standing in the balcony lost in thoughts.
The moment they left sky castle she has become silent. Even though he didn’t ask directly about the reason for her silence, he could guess that it was because of Tang Wei Sheng.
Lee Tae Yang walked over and wrapped her into a warm embrace,
When the familiar warmth and calming scent shrouded over her, the corners of Li Juan’s tightly pressed lips relaxed and she leaned on to his muscular chest.
Lee Tae Yang rested his head on her shoulders and rubbed his face against her cheeks like a cat,
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked in a suggestive tone,
“Will you be alright If I talk about him?” Her voice sounded confused,
“Hmm,” Lee Tae Yang assured her as he gently slid his hands over her waist and waited for her to open up.
“Sometimes….sometimes…i feel sorry for him…I know I shouldn’t have think like that for what he have done to me…but,” She abruptly stops and let out a sigh.
“Wei Sheng ge…he has a psychological disorder,”
“Hmmm…,” Lee Tae Yang silently listened to her as she talked about Tang Wei Sheng,
“For everyone he is someone who has a jovial and radiant personality, but only few know that he has an extremely violent side. Someone who is exactly opposite to Tang Wei Sheng,”
“Split personality?”
“Hmmm…Tang Wei Lang, that’s how his alter ego addresses himself. I don’t know much about the background of his illness. All I know is that, I am the one who triggered it,”
Li Juan pursed her lips for a moment,
“Every time when I am in danger, he takes over Wei Sheng Ge…Once he fought with a group of thugs and got injured really bad. That’s when I realized about his illness. He was obsessed over me…he even loathed Wei Sheng ge for liking me,” Li Juan stated with an expressionless face,
“I was scared of him…he always tried to hurt me, but when I thought about Wei Sheng ge, i felt guilty…I hated myself for ruining his life. He used to be nice person and because of me, he became a monster….May be that’s must be the reason why I am finding it difficult to hate him. He was under medical observation while he was living abroad, but as soon as he returned it became more severe. The old Li Juan might have believed that if she loved and took care of him…If she accepted his truth…it may create some change in him…however nothing worked. He is still the same.. I can feel Wei Lang whenever Wei Sheng ge comes near to me, his murderous instinct…his obsessive eyes…I can feel him,” Li Juan’s voice trembled as she recalled her encounters with Tang Wei Sheng’s alter ego.
“His condition is bit worrisome, but it is not incurable…With proper medications and therapy he can get over it,” Lee Tae Yang proposed,
“I am worried about him. If he continues to be like this , either he will end up killing someone or himself,”
“In most of the cases of dissociative identity disorders, the root causes lies in a traumatic childhood. With his upbringing I am doubt there is no such case,” Lee Tae Yang pointed out,
“As far as I know, his family…at least Lanlan is not aware of her brother’s condition,” Li Juan told him whatever she knew,
“If he wants to get over it…he must inform them and get help from his family and loved ones,” Lee Tae Yang said and tightened his arms over Li Juan, “Sometimes, we only need someone to understand and support us,”
Hearing his words, Li Juan sighed and turned towards Lee Tae Yang and buried her face on his chest,
“I am happy that I had mamma and you in my life,”
“I feel the same,” He placed a kiss on the top of her head, “Its getting colder, let’s go inside,”
“Hmm, let’s go and sleep,” Li Juan agreed to him and walked hand in hand to the bedroom.
“I will let you take rest today,” He leaned on the headrest and said with a sly smile.
Li Juan’s eyes narrowed as she listened to the man who was lying beside her,
“Really?” She asked to confirm,
“Well. If you are willing to do it, we can-” Even before he could continue, Li Juan covered his mouth with his palm, with a shy look in her face,
“Fine. We will not do it today, okay?” He asked in a muffled voice.
Li Juan nodded in agreement and removed her palm,
“Come here,” Lee Tae Yang placed his hand on Li Juan’s waist and pushed her close to him,
“You are warm,” She snuggled onto him and and pressed her lips on his chest,
“Who am I?” He asked her with a smug smile,
“My sun,” Li Juan raised her head and immersed her canines on his neck,
He chuckled and stroked her thick black hair, “You look tired, get some sleep, Xiao Li,” Lee Tae Yang gently patted her back and put her into sleep, as if she is a baby.
As Li Juan fell asleep, Lee Tae Yang peeled her slender arms from his body and stood up from the bed,
He covered her with the blanket and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, before leaving the room with his cell phone.
He walked towards the balcony and dialed his assistant’s number,
After few rings, Chen Da Meng’s sleepy voice replied from the other side,
“Chen Da Meng, arrange a meeting with CEO Tang Wei Sheng, of Tang corporations. Yes do it as soon as possible. It is nothing official, just a casual meeting,”
He ended the conversation and stared at the night sky,
” Tang Wei Sheng, it is time for you to know the truth!!!”
