Li Xue never expected that her path would cross with this man this soon. She looked into his eyes, which still had the same light as it had before. Momentarily, she was drawn to it in the influence of the sweet memories she once had with him.

But the next second, came the loud voices of accusations that reminded her that her past had dark memories more than those sweet ones. Her sweet memories were like a needle that fell in the huge lump of haystack.

She looked at the man and recognized him with his real face. This was the man whom she trusted the most. But the moment it was his time to trust her, he was nowhere to be found. He was the only one from whom she was sure to get support, but never thought that this would be only her mere wishful thinking.

She didn’t want to think about all those painful memories again. It’s better to be indifferent to both, the memories and the people who are were responsible for that.

Cornering all her memories with him, she said in an indifferent tone that drew a line of strangers between then, “Thank You for looking after my daughter.”

Hearing her indifferent tone directed towards himself like that, the man who was still trying his best to believe her in front of his eyes was also snapped back to the present. “Li Xue! Is that really you? I never thought that we would meet again here. How have you been?” 

There was something that left unsaid in his eyes as he looked at her and then his gaze trailed down at the little girl.

The little girl also looked at him with a smile but that smile wasn’t returned. He was still looking at her as if connecting the coordinates of the little girl and Li Xue on the graph paper of life.

“I think coincidences do happen in real life. I’m all fine and happy in my present life. Thanks for asking”, she replied and then caressed Li Wei’s head.

Not able to control his curiosity, he asked, staring at her soft gestures towards the little girl. “And this is?”

“She is my daughter”, she replied without any hesitation. It was like she has become all cool with that fact that people’s views won’t affect her anymore.

The man’s expression got changed instantly.

She looked at her daughter and asked her, “Li Wei, say hello to uncle Wenting. He was once Mama’s classmate”

The little girl looked at her mother and then nodded. Then looking at the man she said in a very polite manner bowing her head down, giving the best example of mannerism. “Hello, Uncle Wenting! Li Wei apologize for being a little impolite before”

Zheng Wenting looked at the little girl still not able to take in the fact, she was Li Xue’s daughter. But again the way she was talking was all like her, only there were no facial similarities between them.

He gazed at Li Xue. She had gotten thinner from the last he had seen her but was still as enchanting as before. Her smile which was like a blazing sun before has now turned very soft and gentle, with an air of maturity and tranquility.

Though she still looked the same, he knew she had gone through many changes. He can feel those changes in her.

Li Xue also looked at him but her eyes were really indifferent as if he had really only been her classmate in the past. When she felt that nothing was going to come out anymore, she gave a small nod of gratitude and stepped forward holding the little girl’s hands softly, intending to leave.

Her daughter was already with her and she did not need anyone apart from her. But suddenly, he grabbed her wrist.

She looked up to Wenting’s facial expression. It was hard with his eyes glowering at her, “Li Xue, what the hell are you saying? Don’t tell me she is your daughter from that scandal.”

Li Xue glowered her back equally, warning him with her eyes. ‘Don’t you dare spell another word after that’

And one gaze of that glowering eyes instantly made him loosen his grip on her wrist.  “Zheng Wenting, I don’t remember me giving you any rights to speak in my life. So just be in your limits. And also keep one thing in your mind, do care to revise your words when you are in front of a child”

His eyes turned hostile as he looked at her.

“Now if everything is clear then let me go. You won’t want to be photographed with a woman like me and I don’t want to get myself in tomorrow’s news headlines”, she said with a smile which was mocking his existence.

She really despises him. And his words today again gave her a good reason to support that feeling.

At this moment, Li Xue noticed someone behind him. A tall, beautiful girl was standing behind them, and was staring at them in surprise.

“I think you should get ready to explain yourself to your girlfriend now”, she said as she directed her chin toward the woman standing behind. Zheng Wenting also turned to look back over his shoulders and his eyes got filled with guilt.

Li Xue also noticed his changing expression. She wasn’t able to control her chuckle. Whispering slowly near his ears she said, “If you want I can explain you and this situation in front of her. There would be no way, she would be still thinking me higher than herself. After all now she has become the top model of our country”. 

Her lips curled up in a satisfied mocking smile directed to the the man and woman standing in front of her eyes.
