Love Struck - Chapter 215

“What’s wrong?What are you worried about?Did Shi Ai say something unintentionally to hurt you?Did you want something?Why are you crying?” As Yang Mei drank her water, Zhang Min had heaped so many questions on her in anxiety that she could not help but smile.

Seeing her sudden smile though her eyes and nose were red, Zhang Min felt relief course through him. Gently, he wiped the tear tracks and asked,”Yang Mei, what is wrong?”

Yang Mei entwined her fingers nervously and explained,”You..you know that I was stabbed during that tussle with that Qinglan monster!!”

This single sentence made him understand what the tears were about and he could only shake his head.But he did not want to discuss this now. These were scars that needed to be healed both physically and emotionally.

So he decided to use a tried and tested distraction..”Yang Mei!Is that the season you turned your self into a water faucet?Come on. Don’t waste time over this let’s go!”

Pulling Yang Mei to her feet, Zhang Min walked towards the bedroom but Yang Mei resisted,”Min Min we need to talk.”

‘Mulish!’That was the word one would use to describe Zhang Min when he had decided something. So narrowing his eyes he softly threatened,”That is not a very good sentence!I know for a fact that a woman saying this never bodes well for a relationship so there is no need for our mouths to talk, we can talk with out bodies. We both need a mid day snack!”

But Yang Mei was serious and did not wish to delay Such a thing. She had already fallen hard for him so she needed to clear any misunderstandings before she fell deeper.

Feeling her resistance, Zhang Min could not help but sigh!This was what happened when you fell for a strong unabiding woman!

Moving away, Zhang Min stood against a chair and crossed his arms in front of him, a scowl in his face,”Talk.”

This serious and intimidating made pose of Zhang Min made her stop and bite her lower lip in anxiety. In an unsure voice she began,”I am damaged and..”

“Bull****. Mei Mei listen to me carefully and put it in your head because I will not repeat it.And I don’t want to hear you calling your self damaged anymore.Yes I know you sustained severe injuries because of the knife.Qinglan had twisted the knife inside you to incur as much damage as possible. And your uterus was torn. The chances of you being able to have a child of your own are slim. But Yang Mei, I only want you. And when we want children, then we will look in to this matter. I have studied my father’s medical books since I was an eight year old.Science changes everything. And if even if we are not fated to have biological children, we can adopt or foster children. With the big heart you possess, you will love any child of ours fully.So stop thinking like this. Do not invite trouble now and torture yourself.We will cross that bridge when the time comes. Hmm?”

Though the words were strictly said, Yang Mei felt the warmth and concern in them and hugged these to her heart. He was right, she needed to live in the moment! But that worry was there in her heart. Buried deep for now.Seeing that Yang Mei was taking him seriously, Zhang Min loosened up and walked back to her.Extending his hand back at her,he said,”Mei Mei if you don’t want me to die of frustration then let us go for that snack now. Then it will be time for you to go to Shi Villa and then I will miss you so much.”

Seeing his line track mind, Yang Min could not help but giggle,”We just had a big meal..”

“You know I am not talking about that snack!Let me teach you what snacking means.”

Picking up Yang Mei in his arms, Zhang Min ran to the bedroom and lightly threw Yang Mei on the bed and went ahead to show her the joys of mid-day snacking.

In the evening, the Shi Villa was lit up like a Christmas tree. Every light glowed and the kitchens were filled with hustle and bustle and a whiff of happiness. Most of the servants in the Shi household were old and loyal to their master. They had seen the old master yearn for familial love and finally ,fates has graced him. His two grand daughters had been found and returned to him. They even talked and prayed for the great grand child that master would be gifted. And the other young miss was also said to be engaged. Happiness would finally return to this sad and yearning house.

A lone figure stood at the gates of the villa. She had been driven here but now she was too nervous to go inside and so she sent the driver back and stood there frozen. She had come to apologize but the question was did the person she wanted to apologize to,want her apology?

She realised that she was scared but she needed to do this.She had been living in guilt all these years.When she saw the news and saw her childhood friend’s face,she had been unable to stop herself.

Just then the lights of an oncoming car shone and she turned around to look back instinctively.

The next moment,as she brought down her hand,she saw the person she wanted to meet,standing in front of her.

Yang Mei stared at the beautiful woman in front of her as she got off the car.It was like all the incomplete chapters in her life were coming to a closure. She walked towards the woman and stood there in front of her.

Silvia felt her tears start to fall and trembling,she said,”Shi Ai..I mean Yang Mei,I am sorry for everything.Please accept my apology!I don’t expect your forgiveness because I..I know that whatever you have suffered cannot be soothed with a simple sorry but please know that I truly am sorry for everything.”

As Yang Mei stood before Silvia Gray she realized that time reallyh does sooth all hurts or maybe it was love but she had in her heart already let go of the past..

Wiping away her tears,Yang Mei smiled and said,”Miss Grey?Are you trying to get me killed?If anyone clicked a picture and your fans knew that I made their Goddess Silvia cried,I’d have more eggs to battle!”

Silvia was scandalized at this thought and was about to refute when in the next moment,she was hugged by Yang Mei who then whispered in her ear,”It wasn’t your fault Silvi!It was the circ.u.mstances.Let the past go!I..I have blamed you and even been angry at you,my grandather and even my mother but I have come to realise that we cannot control the world.You would not have expected your parents to do what they did..So don’t blame yourself for their mistakes.Let bygones be bygones.

Yang Mei,then moved back and said,”Or if you want to relive the past let’s go find Shi Ai!I have a pendrive of her childhood photos!We can see those and tease her!Did you know,she proposed to ..”

Hand in hand,Yang Mei drove a dizzy SIlvia Grey into the Shi Villa.

Meanwhile,Zhang Min stood in front of a blank white wall with an equally blank expression on his face.Next to him stood Ah Hai and Knox.But out of the three men,two were protesting heavily,”Ah Hai,I can weild guns and swords!But this is too much!This is alien to me!I cannot do this!”

Zhang Min nodded in agreement and said,”Me too!My hands are for weilding a gun or a scalpel!How can you expect me to paint the nursery walls?What if we mess up?It is your child that will suffer!The kid will have nightmares if our deer looks like an elf or something!”

Ah Hai looked at the two idiots beside him and said,”Who said I am going to let you paint?The two of you are here for cleaning up and holding the ladder!I will paint and you will clean and scrub the place!Oh and the two of you have to assemble the furniture!It is in the room next door!Taking the paintbrushes out of their hands,Ah Hai pushed the two lackeys into the room next door with a hammer in their hands and a threat in their ears,”If the furniture is not sturdy then..”

But in a few minutes they realized the problem…There were two of everything’two cots,two playpens,two storage baskets..

Knox frowned and asked,”Are they having twins?”

Zhang Min,however shook his head and said,”Uh huh…It is too early to know..Most likely they are arguing whether they will have a girl or a boy!!”
