Standing infront of the high-end building of La Paò international , Xi Roulan clenched her fists.

Once, she left this place in her own will. To start a new life.... A life where she can live with her mother and her little baby......

She feels her heart burning with grief as she thinks about it.

But now.... nothing matters at all except one thing!!!

She wonders how things would be once she face him...?

He must be happy with his life right ? Probably....forgot her long time ago. To be honest if he did, it's good. She has no hope for that man. Everything ended the moment she lost her child.

Her strength, her dreams , her all hope.....Everything died that moment.

Roulan sighs and steps forward to the building.

At the gate, the security guard humbly opens the door and then at the entrance another guard asked," Ma'am , could you show me your ID!?"

She looked at him," ID!?"

" Yes! You've to show your ID for security purpose........ Don't you have one!?"

" Uh!! No....I..I have, wait a second. "

She hesitantly takes out a card and handed to him. She pinches her fist uncomfortably, as the guard take it.

As he takes the card, he quickly shot a glance at her," Ma'am, are you from Leng family!? I'm really sorry !!! You can go in Ma'am. "

Roulan wryly curls her lips and walkes away, after taking the card.

Phone rings at secretarial office.

Bai Hewang sitting there, picks it up," Yes?"

" Good morning sir. There's a lady named Xi Roulan. We saw her golden card of Leng family, so we let her in. She's not surnamed as Leng, so we called you to verify, she's here to meet CEO. "

" Wait!! Wait! What....what's the name you said ?"

" Xi Roulan, sir."

Hewang remains stunned for a moment ," Ah! I get it! Send her to the top floor "

As soon he put down the receiver, he quickly walked to the lift.

After a few seconds the door opened and she appeared there.

Seeing Hewang standing at entrance she was little shocked, but then she walked to him and smiled," Long time no see!"

Hewang nodded, " Same here! "

There's an awkward silent between them.

" Please come!!"

"Oh!!" she takes a deep breath and follows him behind.

They walks through the long corridor.

She only did come here once along with him. The situation back then was even awkward, even thinking about it makes her embarrassed. He is a total wild person. A cunning wolf in a lambs clothing.

At this moment she really doesn't know, how to face him!! She wished, she really wished him to be absent today, so she could just ask Hewang for help. But now that he is here, she can't do that!! It'll.... look really bad. Although everyone knows everything, but she obviously can't ruin his reputation infront of his subordinate.

Though he probably doesn't care about her, she does. In her heart she knows he did really play a big role in her small life. She can't deny it.

They comes infront of the door of his office and then.....

He pushes open the door ,"Sir! "

His stern eyes were gazing at the window with a glass of whisky in hand.

The man is sitting on the sofa , slowly shift his calm gaze to look at the door.

" Sir, madame is here!"

He looks at the whiskey bottle and sighs, "Ask mother to wait for a minute ."

" No sir! It's not your mother! It's ma..."

" It's me!" she speaks out slowly.

Roulan gasps!! She met him after all. All the grudges and anger she's been holding in her heart, as if.... vanished.

It's like same what it was 1 year ago. Nothing has changed.

She looks at him, basking in sunrays...

His tipsy , sharp and calm eyes are magnificent even behind that clear spectacles.

With a prominent jawline his nose are proud ,just like his sword shaped brows.

Among all these dominant and coldness in him, his pink and thin lips are ase a blooming rose in a cold iceberg.

She suddenly have an urge to run in his embrace. She wants him to listen everything she's been holding in her heart. She wants him to soothe her , the way he used to do it. Even though all those affections were just a lie. Still, she wants him.

But when she remembered all those things he did in past to her and most importantly.... to her child......

She sighs. She pitied herself.... Is she that greedy for him !?

As soon he hears the voice, he stiffened. His dense hairy, sword like brows furrows.

He clenches his glass and glances at the door with a sharp gaze. His expressions are so atiff that it can't be read at this moment. But that calm and cold gaze of his dark eyes....it's freaking dangerous!

Xi Roulan sighs. Sensing his familiar attitude she slowly enters in the room .

Leng XiaoRong remained unmoved in his couch. Just let his eyes follows every single move of her, without blinking his gaze. His lifeless eyes are stuck with her figure.

The long golden brown hair, with such a tender smooth and slightly taned fair skin. Those perfectly toned curves and that signature body language ........but her attitude seems very different..... no!!! It's just as used to be, before. She always acts like this infront him.

To humiliate him.... to let him know that she has never loved him !!

Though he looks calm and unbothered on the surface, only he knows what's going inside his heart.... his body. He can sense his urge to conquer in himself.

He hates it!! He hates it, whenever he can't control upon himself. He always smoothly manages to stay elegant and calm, no matter what the situation is, but whenever it comes to this woman.... this....she is such a nymph!!! Never fails to excite his manhood!!

Even now, he almost lost his control!! She can always able to provoke his deepest instinct to the point that he lost all his integrity.

She slighty tilts her chin.....as he looks at those lovely lips......its softness her scent, her gentle touches on him.... he can feel it even now on him... as if he can feel her breath on his lips.

He gulps his saliva and shift his gaze away in annoyance!!!

He hurriedly emptied the glass and then, putting down the glass he finally looks straight in her eyes.

He loves the way she always proudly looks at him in his eyes. She has an unique spark in those.

.....But her eyes! Even though features are same,but it doesn't feel the same.

Why's there a submissive and poor look in those beautiful eyes!? Where's that fire in it!? The fire, by which he already had burnt himself in devotion!!

She's never an unruly girl... but a calm natured person. But even though her eyes and aura was very prominent!

How did she became like this?

He doesn't like this.... this obidient and poor look, it doesn't suits her at all!!

" I have something to talk to you." she says.

Leng Xiao squints his eyes.

He glances at Hewang, " Leave!"

"Yes sir."

After Hewang left the door closes behind her. She feels an awkward silence there.

He clenches his jaw and adjust his sitting posture in a more relaxed manner, "Say it, whatever you want. " His voice is deep and calm, just like those pair of eyes.

" I....*sigh* I need some money from you."

He raises his brows in surprise! He closes the file, he was reading earlier and looks at her, " How much?"

"....Five million."

He didn't say anything and pours the whiskey into the glass. Giving no clue what's going on in his mind he asks

" And why do you need it?"

She clenches her fists," My mother is suffering from liver cancer, doctors said its curable. I came here in Guangzhou, as operation can only be done here, I came prepared, but now there's ..... I really need it. If you can lend me....I'll make sure to return it within....."

" Lend?!" He interrupts her.

The silent is long......

Until she nods ," Hmm."

Wonderful!! He admires her... Hiw the hell she always manages to anger him to his wits!!? Just how well she knows to annoy him!!?

Heaven knows how much he had imagined her to return to him. He have thought of countless of ways.....but never imagined this.

Huh!! Can't she at least smile at him!!? She even standing so far from him! What's she trying to imply!?

" So you want me to 'lend' money to you!?" he clenches his fists furiously.

Just how dare this woman can say it!!

Can't she just ask it from him!?

But she didn't. She's here to make a deal for her needs.

Roulan, you really can be so cold to me.

.....Well, if this is what you want Roulan!! Let me play with you !

" Yes." she said without any hesitancy.

" So tell me, what job do you do now, and who can be your testimony if I lend you money?"

Roulan is stunned for a second ," You...you're asking me for testimony!? Can't you even believe me!!? I won't run with your money. You know me. And this is why I'm here. Otherwise I would never face you in this lifetime again."

She feels so humiliating right now!! How can he be...

Leng Shihao sneers, " But ironically you are here Miss Xi ..... facing your ex-husband for lending money.

So tell me your details so that, I can decide how much interest can I claim on your debt."

She clenches her fists and almost cries out.

How naive of her to believe him before and even now.

She smirks, " Five million isn't even an amount for you. You can lend few millions on your servant without any condition, just like that. But you can't lend me five million, even when I said I'd return that to you. Turns out, there's so hatred me in your heart. "

Leng Xiao stiffens hearing this.....

"...Yes. I hate you indeed, as there's no reason to love you anymore. I'm not fool enough to hold feelings for my ex.

But that's not point here. As you're asking me to lend you money without any testimony and zero interest, so tell me, Miss Xi...... What benefits will I gain from this deal?"

" ....nothing! " She looks at the floor, she really doesn't want to bring it up but....Alas!!

She takes a deep breath ad looked at him," For the sake... of our previous relationship..... Can't you even help me once! I'm really in need of the money. I promise to never ome to you again after returning the money.

Please help me one last time." tears roll down from her eyes.

Leng Xiao sighed, " Based on our previous relationship!?

You must be joking Roulan. You want me to believe you on the base of our marriage, to which you don't give a shit even!!

I did give you my platinum card, didn't I ? Huh! Forget that fucking card!!! I gave you my everything!!! Whatever I have....

But you !!! What did you do?!

You left all behind, as if thse are nothing!! My money!! My reputation!!! My trust!!! My... All these means nothing to you!!!

You smashed all these on the steps of stairs of my Taiyang mansion when you left me!!

You said, you don't want any kind of involvement of mine in your life!!

Now, you are telling me— for the sake of our relationship?? If it's related our relation, then let me clear you out that you're just humiliating me along with yourself by asking such amount of money.

Huh! I won't do it again. " He sneers, clenching his jaw in anger.

She frowns. Seeing her being so careless to him is making him sick out of anger.

He stand up from couch and walks to her.

" Well, how about we make a deal ?"

He smirks in anger. His cold and grim eyes are filled with mockery.

As he looks at her, standing on the center of this large chamber, dropping down her self-esteem, just for few millions!!! What a scene!!

Is this why you left your husband? I wants you to stand on the high.... but you! How can you lower yourself so much, Roulan!!!

It hurts!!! His heart is like trampling with sharp needles!!

Let's see, what can you do to get some mere millionsb?

He slowly walks to her.

His ruthless baritone voice sounded " ...... As I don't really care about past..."

He lowers his head near her ear and inhales deeply, as she flinches.

An alluring smell..... it's her scent, and its just the same as before. She doesn't really use perfume so much, he just love her nature smell and that scent is really intoxicating!!!

As his broad torso covered her body she feels uncomfortable under his sharp gaze.

He gasps, " ......You should think more about present. I want your sincerity!!....To me. "

Roulan quickly glances at him, strangely.

He grinned, " Let me tell you a secret, I do have the same interests towards you even now. Think about it, and then answer me. After all I'm not stranger. We slept so many times.... I'm still fascinated by all your passionate moves over me. Sometimes gentle... sometimes bold.... suits my taste. I remember when you moan my name.... After all I know best how to make you satisfied. Under this pure and gentle gaze, I know... just how much lewd you can be.

Forget five millions, how about you let me f*ck you and I'll give a whole billion. Honey!"

Xi Roulan shivers as she hears his words. He dares to say it!!? He really only sees her as bed warmer, but nothing else!!

Everything for him is a deal. From the start to end... she has no value in his heart!!

How foolish she was to have such high expectations from him.

He is bastard and totally inhumane!!

She doesn't know what to say anymore.....

At this moment she feels disgusted...

" I'll leave then."

She sighs and quickly leaves from the chamber.

Leng XiaoRong remains there still as he watches her to leave. And after some moment when he regains himself from what just happens here, he bends down a little to his desk and rests his sturdy arms on the table.

He sighs and presses the call to his assistant Hewang.

" Check it on which hospital her mother is staying and also give me the details of her health and about the doctor and team. Also, I want the details of every single transaction she did to the hospital. "

Hewang, " Understand sir."

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

After coming out from there Xi Roulan starts to walk quickly on street. She is so angry !!! She shouldn't actually go to him in first place. Never have thought he could say such things to her!! He asks her to sleep with him , to show her sincerity!!?

Does he really doesn't care about her emotions ? How could he live so fluently after...... That's right! He doesn't even know! He lost his child!! Their first and only child!

Would he even mind if he knew? Should she tell him !?

No!! It's pointless. He never even wanted a child . Huh!!

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Taiyang mansion(Leng Xiao's private villa)

It's already been past 10 at night. Handing his overcoat to Miss Hao, he asks, " Has Han slept yet ?"

Miss Hao , " I tried , but he will only goes to sleep when you will return. So, I couldn't let him."

He sighs , " You should have said to me earlier then. I'd have returned quickly!! Such a stubborn kid !! Where's he?"

" In master's bedroom !"

Leng Xiao quickly walks to upstairs , to his room.

As he opens the door two little hands pounce on his lower thigh.

" Daddy!!!" The little boy giggles.

Leng Xiao picks him up and walks towards the bed," Why haven't you gone to bed? Sleeping so late, you want to get sick!"

The little one shakes his quickly.

Huh!! He's so cute, that he really doesn't have heart to get angry on him. Whenever he comes to this child, he feels so tired and guilty.....but his beautiful and pure face.... it as if grabs his heart by some unknown spell.

XiaoRong smiles and pats his head.

" Well, I heard you didn't let your mother enter in house today !?" he askd raising his brows.

Hanfeng humps ," She doesn't even know what I'm allergic!! She always do something to harm me so that she can call you. I don't like her!! I don't want her!!!" though he is a little boy, he has the sense of being manipulated and get angry.

XiaoRong smiles in his drunkenness , " I also don't like her. I also know what's her plan, and don't want her to meet you either." He sighs.

But I thought you maybe wish for your mother , so I let her meet you once in a month. Now that you also don't want to meet her, I'm relieved!

Hanfeng smiles, " I like your mother!! It'll good if she would be my mom rather than being grandma ! I love aunt too. "

XiaoRong frowned, " What are you even saying rat !? How could be my mother and sister be your mother? Do want everyone you like to be your mother !! Such a weirdo!

Come on go to bed now, or I'll be really angry. Like a red demon !!"

Hanfeng giggles,

XiaoRong frowns, " What are you laughing about?"

" I imagined that, you'd be more handsome to have horns on your head, if you're a red demon. "

" This boy..." Leng Xiao let him lie down on the bed and wraps the blanket around him ," Sshhh! No more talking go to sleep." He put the sleepmask on his eyes . He brushes his fingers through his hair and looks at him.

He always wished his child to born from Xi Roulan. How many times he thought about their baby... but he was helpless!

He sighs and walks to the balcony. Only if she was still by his side.... only if she ever loved him.... only if.....

Maybe.... their start, itself was a mistake , but even if he was given another chances , he will happily do the same mistake again and again !!! She, Xi Roulan can only be his and his alone !

3 years ago

Gorgeous sunlight passing through the glass sheild fell on his handsome face. A beautiful pair of thock , sword like brows , his long lashes ends were touching his skin, a pointed sharp nose and those thin lips ....... even if he was sleeping, one can easily get mesmerized by his handsomeness. He is so beautiful but all his features were so manly and alluring.

He frowned and his slender fingers brushed through his hair.

A cheerful, deep voice sounded.

" Hey!! Are you awake ?"

XiaoRong squinted his face and sighed, " Hmm....Ugh!!! this damn hangover !!!" He said in raspy voice.

He sat up on the bed while rubbing his head. As he sat up the blanket slide down and his muscular body flushed out.

He raised his brows, " Why are you here?"

At this moment the another man made his way to the couch , taking an apple from the fruit basket on the table in front, he laid down there, and took a bite.

With a similar pair of lips and eyebrows but with a playful and sharp look in his eyes the man smirked.

" Our mother is so worried about his good son , that even staying in the same city he didn't return home last night.

Does he already get a girlfriend?!

Or Is he having a sweet night with someone!?

So she asked me to have a look at your personal life. "

As he finished there's a weird smile on his face.

' Creepy!!' XiaoRong frowned and got up from the bed and walked to bathroom.

Shen Weiyu also followed but was stopped as Leng Xiao closed the door on his face.

Shen Weiyu ," Hey!! Hey Rong !! It's not like I didn't see your thing ! "

" Shut up, bastard!!"

" Humph! But tell me... why would you even own a penthouse like this large, if you don't even intend to hwve a youthful night? I mean you're already 28 , even dad and mom also wish you to start a relationship!! What the hell are you waiting for ?"

" You seems to very excited in my life !?"

" Tsk! Tsk! That's because....."

Before he could speak the sound of unlocking door interrupted him and Bai Hewang walked in.

" Second young master...."

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Leng XiaoRong walked out of the penthouse along with his assistant Hewang.

" Wang, what's the schedule?"

" Sir, first of all congratulations for your promotion as vice chairman of Leng's! "

Leng Xiao nodded. That's right, yesterday was really hectic!! First chairman promoted him and then.... that marriage.

" Well sir, you have a meeting at 12.11 pm with the public relation department, then at 2 pm you decided to visit the block 11 factories personally. Then at 4.30 pm you have another meeting regarding Là Paào. "

They walked to the car and he got in.

" Hmm got it."

Hewang got in too, " So, sir, shall we head to office then ?"

" Uh!... No! It's not even 10. Let's just go to the restaurant near, I didn't have breakfast."

.

.

.

They arrived infront of a small English restaurant on street.

Delphine restaurant

He walked in and was about to sit there but stopped, " You wait here, I'll go to washroom. "

" Okay sir."

He wiped his hand in tissue . Then he came out of the washroom.

" Don't you know how to seduce men ?"

Leng Xiao who was supposed to return in his table stopped and turned to his 3 o'clock direction to see them.

The other lady became dumbfounded, " No... how could I possibly...."

" Oh!? So you can have boyfriend but you can't seduce him !? Isn't it something women born with!?? The power of controlling those arrogant men !!"

Xiao's lips curled up in a smile. He looked at the girl. She has long golden brown hair tied up in a ponytail. Quite prominent features complimenting her vibe and a very attractive lips !!! In a word...... she can be obviously considered as a beautiful young lady!!

" Let me tell you, you have to get a tight hold on your one !! Or that bitch you mentioned earlier, luring around your boyfriend will snatch him from you. It's always in dramas !! And dramas are based on 'real life' !!! " As she spoke, her attitude became more and more serious!!

" My boyfriend isn't like....."

" Uff !! You're naive !! All men are same!!"

Leng Xiao smirked and turned to leave from there.

As Xiao came and sat down at the table, Hewang said, " Though it's in our path, but isn't it quite shabby , sir ?"

" It's alright for me." his voice was cold.

Hewang quickly gulped rest of his words.

Leng XiaoRong returned to Shanghai city almost after 12 years . Though he did come to visit his house few times between this period, but it's only for a day or two he stayed. So it's been many years like this roaming around the city.

He looked outside from the glass window...... It's been long time....!!!

At this moment suddenly a very delightful fresh breeze surged through his face.

He could see a very dimmish reflection on the glass . He could obviously figure out its the girl from before, who's busy giving her friend 'relationship advice' . He suddenly felt something very interesting.

" Good morning, sir! What would you like to order?"

The tone was so sweet, humble yet bold, that it successfully draw his attention.

He turned around and glanced at the lady standing beside with a bright smile on her face.

" We will like to have the regular breakfast with a espresso without sugar and one late . " Hewang ordered.
