Chapter 5: I Love You but .....
' Love ', a simple four letter word yet Linhua felt it was complicated.
He loved Mingze but he deceived her, He loved her but he doesn't want to tell the truth. Can it still be called love?
Ofcourse he loves her, he loves her.
" Assistant Min, reschedule the urgent meeting between the time frame of tomorrow and next Friday. I will be relocating back to the Countryside for some months. If any important issue arises while I'm gone my grandfather will take care of it, unless he can't handle it I'll return."
" Yes young master, I will inform the servants in the countryside of your plans. "
'Why was the young master suddenly returning to the Countryside? Did he miss little Man?', secretary Min was very curious but he dare not ask anything.
" Ermm but don't let them inform little Man. I want it to be a surprise."
*****
Mingze was currently in her apartment resting in bed.
Earlier she received a call from Linhua inviting her on one of his trips to the Countryside.
Growing up in a rich household, she had never visited such a place.
Linhua told her that they were visiting someone important to him.
'Was it his grandmother or grandfather?, maybe they were recuperating there and he was visiting.' , thoughts came to her mind at lightening speed.
She had exhausted herself from thinking strange thoughts about who they were visiting and discussing her schedule with Shixue.
She still has her job so she was thankful when Linhua said that they would leave the next week.
Doctor Song had advised that she rest well so a vacation wouldn't be a bad idea. She needed it.
There wasn't much happening during the two weeks that passed by. During the day, Mingze had her photoshoots, interviews and variety shows she attended and Linhua had some of his business meetings, of which the others were at night.
They were together on some nights, just talking and getting to know each other and cuddling or dating inside her dining room or watching movie
on her couch.
She was honestly satisfied with their relationship. She felt comfortable with him, she didn't have to force herself to maintain a certain image in front of him. He accepted all of her.
When she had accidentally burped while kissing him, he had continued kissing her still.
She felt loved by him. If it had been her in front of her family she burped, she would have been scolded.
It's not that they didnt love her, it's just that order and manners were above their love.
The appearance of their family was a great deal.
Telling her family about her vacation wasn't hard, she lived on her own afterall. They had set dates where they had to be present for family events ofcourse, like birthdays and other celebrations.
Finally finishing her packing the day before they leave, Mingze texted Linhua.
" Hey, I'm done packing. Can't wait to leave tomorrow."
"Good. I'll pick you up at 8."
"Ok, see you darling."
" Love you wife."
Even though it's a text, she still blushed. She wrapped herself up on her bed and fell asleep. The day was exhausting.
Upon waking up the next day, Mingze followed her daily routine for getting herself ready, with the exception of having to visit the bathroom a lot.
When she was finished, she checked the time and realized she still had forty five minutes more to wait until Linhua arrived.
"What to do, what to do?" she said to herself, she was bored now. She suddenly realized that her life was indeed boring until Linhua came along.
She ended up checking we-chat to see if there was anything interesting happening.
Before she knew it, she was engrossed in it. From news of popular actors divorcing, to actresses and models getting caught sleeping with directors.
'Wow' she thought. There was so much going on in the industry. She was happy she never befriended any of those people.
Life was short, she wanted to enjoy it, with her family (minus uncle), Linhua, assistant Min and maybe some kids.....
'Wait what? kids?'
'Linhua kept mentioning the word baby recently, it must have got stuck in my head' she thought.
Before she could continue, her doorbell interrupted her thoughts.
Speak and he shall appear. It was Linhua, with a man whom she met before, he looked like her assistant Min Shixue. She was tempted to ask if he knew her, but she gave up the idea.
Min Shixue's resume stated that she was an only child.
'She was right?'
The drive was long. It was so long that she fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found herself in a strange room. It was unfamiliar to her.
The room had mostly grey, black and white colors. The furniture's were black, while the walls were white. The only exception was the floor that had wooden flooring.
It was definitely a high class room, just from the antique on the nightstand she could tell that the place was Linhua's. It was the same antique that was in all his rooms in his villa.
Right then the door opened, as she turned her head towards the sound, all she saw was a little person walking in. 'Whose child is this? Isn't this Linhua's house?' She started doubting herself.
The little figure crawled up to her on the bed into her arms to snuggle. By the cute, handsome little face, which was an exact split of Linhua, Mingze held her breath.
She love beautiful things, but the thought of Linhua having a child that was not hers scared and angered her.
Was she being played? Does he have a family of his own already? Is she a homewrecker?
Without holding back, she let her tears fall. She was so emotional that the little boy got scare.
He started thinking she was in pain and looked worryingly at her. He checked to see if she was bleeding but their was no red.
He suddenly backed away from her off the bed and hurriedly walked out of the room with tears threatening to fall from his own eyes.
Mingze was to busy going through her emotional battle to realize his change in expression. She continued with her crying.
She came to her senses when she felt someone hug her. She didn't even look up to know it was Linhua. He had a certain smell of flowers to her.
After calming down, she straightforwardly asked him if he was cheating her.
" What are you talking about baby?"
Looking at him suspiciously, she replied " Who was that kid just now? Is it your son? Who is his mother? Is it your secret wife?"
She fired her questions straight at him.
He stared at her dumbfounded. She said all that in one breath like it was one question. 'Was it because she was pregnant?' The doctor already warned him about this, but it was still shocking to experience it.
She actually cried for that, he thought she was on pain.
Earlier while he was in the study discussing business with his grandfather, little Min came crying to him complaining.
"Dad, dad, Momma's doesn't like Xiao Man, she's crying because of Xiao Man.....Waah waa"
The little boy was crying loudly now. He embraced Linhua and buried his face into his chest.
Seeing Mingze like this, he felt amused. As he chuckled a little, he rubbed her back coaxing her.
" Dont scare me again, we are supposed to rest on our vacation. No stress, so don't cry again."
He hated seeing her cry, even though it's the first time.
Contrary to his loving thoughts, Mingze was still headstrong with her questions, repeating them for him.
Although he didn't want to introduce his son to her this way, he had no choice now. She was already pregnant and he still didn't tell her yet. She at least deserves the truth.
"Yes he is my son. But I'm not married to anyone. I haven't cheated on you and I would never."
Though she felt a little relieved about him not being married, she felt angry at him for keeping his some a secret from her.
Did he not trust her enough, but she trusted him.
She removed herself from him and glared at him.
" So you just didn't trust me enough for me to know about this?"
" No, it's not like that. I trust you, that's why I brought you her to meet him. You fell asleep on the way so I let you rest. I thought after you had awoken I would introduce the two of you."
" What about before, before we came here, when we just started dated. You should have told me."
She suddenly began sobbing with her hands covering her mouth and tears running down her cheeks.
" I know, I wanted to but I got scared. What if you refused me. I wanted to make you like me too. I liked you a lot then, so I didn't want to lose you. I came to love you the more time we spent together and it became harder to tell you."
" So you deceived me?"
" Its not like that, I brought you here to show you him myself. He grew up without a mother, he was born from a surrogate. I didn't have sex to conceive him, I just bought an egg."
As angry as she was at him, she was shocked with this new information that she stopped crying. No mother? poor child.
She suddenly wanted to hug the child again. Was that why he came and hugged her without speaking?
She felt guilty, 'why cry in front of the child? He must have been scared. What should she do now?'
She suddenly turned to him, " I Love you, but you lied. You deceived me and didn't trust me enough to tell me these things before. I just don't know right now."
