Si Xia: "....."
Chen: "Xia?"
Si Xia: "....."
Yu Chen sighed. Of course he did not want to talk to her. She said, "I'm sorry Xia. Really sorry. Please. Talk to me Xia."
Si Xia: "....."
Yu Chen pushed back her tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes.
She said, "Xia. Come on, Xia. Really. What do you want? I'll never stay out late. I'll never go out after dark. Hell! I'll never go dancing again!!! Please Xia. I'll do anything you ask. Please...just..... talk to me...Xia...."
Yu Chen's voice cracked when she reached the last words. She did not know what else to so. Xia would not see her. He would not even talk to her.
Chen continued sobbing on the phone. But Si Xia still did not make any reply.
Chen composed herself after a few minutes and muttered, "Please Xia. Tell me what I need to do to make this right. Please...." Her voice broke down again.
Without knowing what she to say, Yu Chen muttered in a small voice, "Please. I'm sorry. Xi xi."
Chen fancied she heard Xia's breathing become faster a little on the other side of the phone and she immediately realised her mistake. She had called him Xi xi, she had never actually done that after the jump. Xia would not know this name.
Chen was about to hang up when Xia's magnetic voice came from the other end, "I have a meeting." And the call disconnected.
Yu Chen's face lit up like the sun. He had finally talked to her!!! Xia really was coming around!! That was great news!
Yu Chen stared at her phone in ecstasy. She decided to go meet Si Xia after the completion. She would go to his company, and they would sort it all out.
With this thought in mind, Chen put down the phone and went into the bathroom, humming a song under her breath.
Meanwhile, in Si Xia's bungalow.....
Si Xia was still at home when Yu Chen called. It was a weekend and he was quite gloomy, not feeling like going to work.
He picked up Chen's call and stayed silent.
But when Yu Chen started crying, he had to exercise all his self control not to rush towards her apartment that instant and hug her.
But when Chen called him Xi xi, Si Xia was taken aback. He had never thought that he would ever hear this name from Chen's lips again. On the spot he decided that the punishment was enough, maybe not for Chen, but definitely for him.
Xia told Chen that he had a meeting and cut the call. He wanted to give her enough peace of mind for her competition. He would go and personally apologize to her after the completion.
Si Xia was thinking about what to say to Chen when his phone rang. It was assistant Chuan.
He picked up the call.
"Good morning President. Should I send over a driver to pick you up?" Assistant Chuan was a very practical person, he would get straight to the point. That was what Si Xia liked about him, he hated people who beat around the bush.
"No. I will drive myself. I have no other appointments than with Mr. Darcy today, right?" Si Xia said in an emotionless voice.
