SUYIN COMING BACK

"It's been a week and I have to get back to work. Your fiance said my pancreas are now getting better.", Meixiu smiled at Ruomei who always visits her everyday.

"Liwei can take care of you more than your husband.", Chaoxiang patted Ruomei on her neck.

"In my defense, he is a doctor and I'm just a singer, a performer.", Chaoxiang defended herself.

"But your are the husband."

"I'll go and take the shower.", Meixiu said and stood up from the bed.

For a week, Chaoxiang got used to sleeping with his wife. Late at night when he feels cold, he'll just hug his wife and the coldness will fade away. And Heiran knows about it. She just pretended all those nights to be asleep or it'll be awkward for the both of them, especially because Chaoxiang sleeps like a child.

Those nights, how she wished they will last forever. That was the first time that she felt him doing his responsibilities as the husband and that was also the first time he cared for her as if he is scared of losing her. He cherished him and took care of him like he really cares.

"Bro, I thought you'll have an interview today?"

"That will be in the afternoon. I'll drive her to her office first."

"Finally you're making a move. But you're still not a good husband. Make her remember her meds."

"Yes Ma'am I will."

Ruomei then left the both of them. Chaoxiang is on the couch, waiting for his wife from the shower. "I should probably take it easy on you Meixiu.", he said to himself. He admits, he feels nothing but guilt. At the same time, once Yang Sora knows about and she probably will know about this, she might blame Chaoxiang for it and he is somehow scared when he get to imagine how she will express her rage towards him.

"Director Yang, your mom said she's calling you and you aren't answering your phone. She is on the other line."

"Oh thank you my beautiful Secretary.", she smiled and Meiying gave her the landline.

"Mom, I reported to work early. I'm so sorry."

"Do you know who is coming back?"

"Is it Dad?"

"Okay you're right. Who else?"

"I don't know mom."

"Wu Suyin is coming back you dumb! So tell me, have you found a way to make him stay? Have you had...", she cut her mom for she doesn't want to hear her mom saying that word.

"Mom no. I won't do that."

She was so disappointed with her mother's question. Her mother never asked about her health, she never asked her if she's okay. And maybe Meixiu should stop expecting. Yang Sora had no other intention in letting her marry that man than to make him help in their business, shoulder the responsibilities of his grandfather's promise to the Yang family.

"Do that Zhao Meixiu or else I'll bring you back to the Wu!"

"Mom no!"

"Then do that! Tonight! Make him drunk and sleep with him. Make sure to not use any contraceptive."

Meixiu then heard the sound that tells her mom ended the call already. She is so disappointed with how her mom controls her on what to do. The fact that Chaoxiang and her already agreed not to sleep in the same room, Meixiu finds it really hard to make a move.

Also, she already said to him that she is not interested about doing those things. For her, she is still young. Or maybe not. Maybe she is still delusional that one day, she can be happy as if she is a child cherishing every day of her youth.

"Director, is she mad?", she heard Meiying asking her.

"It's just a simple misunderstanding Meiying. I know mom's hatred will lessen once I go visit her. She just missed me."

"Director, too glad to know you're okay. I thought you'll be hospitalized again with the pancreatitis."

"My friend's fiance is a doctor. No need to worry.", she smiled and Meiying went out of the room.

She just looked at her assistant while she is leaving. Sometimes she thinks it is better for her to quit this job but she is also scared that Sora will make her pay for all of her and her sister Suyin's debt. When the Yangs saved the twins from they cruel father, the twins expected to live a life that is far from their past but Meixiu concluded that there is no such difference.

After Suyin left the country, leaving her adoptive parents disappointed, they made Meixiu pay for all of the years they fed them as a twin. Until now, Meixiu is still paying for it and she keeps submitting her monthly wage to them. She has no freedom unlike her twin sister. How she wish she could free herself from this hell.

"Mom, why are you doing this to me?", Meixiu bumped her head on her desk.

"I am not sleeping with that man. I am just his fan and he is just helping us with our company. He can help us without me doing such things.", she tried convincing her mother even if it's impossible for her to hear her saying these things.
