Wang Yu lay on Li Zi Yun's lap and her hands were patting his chest, while the other hand was on his hair, stroking it. She was leaning against the head post comfortably and the old memories were flashing through her eyes.
Wang Yu asked her, "Do you want to do plastic surgery to remove the scars?"
Li Zi Yun had thought about it several times, after she started earning. But she always let go of the idea the last moment.
"The scar is a constant reminder of how I suffered under their hands. I'm scared if I see that no more I may forgive them and let them go easily. Maybe after I watch them being crushed into pieces I will do that."
Wang Yu suddenly asked her, "Do you trust me?"
Li Zi Yun was looking at him with her eyebrows raised.
"What is it?"
Wang Yu sat up in the bed once again facing Li Zi Yun; he took her hands into his and said, "I have certain information that… well… can be useful in throwing the Li family away… but your name will also be dragged into it(Wang Yu raised his right hand and cupped her left cheek, stroking it slightly). Will you be okay with it?"
"What did you find out?"
"Not now. I will tell you everything once we return home. Let's enjoy the peaceful days without any worry"
"Is it something I have to worry about?"
Wang Yu brought Li Zi Yun's hands to his lips.
"You need not worry about anything when I'm here for you"
Li Zi Yun bent forward and kissed Wang Yu's cheeks. She felt secure when she was with him and he started believing his words and knew that he would not let anything bad happen.
"Enough talking. Sleep now. I'm feeling sleepy"
Li Zi Yun was not feeling sleepy, the pain in her abdominal was increasing and she wanted to lie down. Her lips were slightly parted and she was sucking in air, trying to control the pain. She knew that if Wang Yu looked at her for some more time then he would find out something was wrong. She slipped under the blanket and waited for him to turn off the light.
Wang Yu turned off the light and got into the bed. He lay beside Li Zi Yun and pulled her closer to him. She felt dizzy once again. She laid there still, without moving waiting for sleep to take over her. Wang Yu slept within a minute but Li Zi Yun stayed awake for more than an hour until she slept.
When Li Zi Yun woke up, she saw that she was lying over Wang Yu with an arm and leg over him. When she looked down at her hands, the ring shone brightly.
"Good morning beautiful"
"Good morning"
Li Zi Yun got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. She washed her face and took the brush and paste to brush her teeth. When she looked at her face in the mirror, she saw there were hickeys on her neck and chest. Now she understood Wu Li Shu's strange reaction yesterday. Li Zi Yun did not look at the mirror after coming back from the pool so she did know the bruise had changed shades.
Li Zi Yun walked back into the room and threw the pillow at Wang Yu.
She pointed to her neck and asked, "What is this?"
"Baby don't tell me you know what that is. You're already old enough to know such things"
"You…" she threw another pillow at him.
"Trust me you look lovely with those. You don't know how many men were ogling you with their eyes"
"I hate you"
"No baby you love me" Li Zi Yun glared at Wang Yu and took large steps and reached the bathroom and shut the door with unnecessary force. How could she show her face outside! The neckline of all her clothes was either wide or deep or low cut. She had to wear a scarf to hide it now.
When he saw Li Zi Yun come out of the bathroom, she saw that Wang Yu was in the balcony speaking in a serious tone to someone. He lowered his voice when he saw her and in a few seconds, he cut the call.
Li Zi Yun asked him suspiciously, "Who were you talking to?"
"Liu Guang"
"Then what were you talking about so secretively?"
"Planning a surprise for you"
"Hmm?" Li Zi Yun did not trust his words, but she knew he would tell her if it was something she needed to know.
"Now get ready we are going somewhere"
"Where?"
Li Zi Yun selected a beige bare satin sandals and a polka dot cotton voile maxi dress. Wang Yu had told her they would be out in the sun for most of the day so she selected a hat and a pair of sunglasses before walking out of the room.
Li Zi Yun had no appetite but Wang Yu was compelling her to eat. She hadn't eaten anything since lunch the before day and Wang Yu was ready to feed her if she did not eat. So Li Zi Yun filled her stomach before walking out. Wu Qing and Wu Li Shu were waiting for them to come out so that they can leave.
Li Shu Chen had been searching for Li Zi Yun but he couldn't find her anywhere. As a last resort, he thought of selling all the properties in Li Zi Yun's mothers' name. He wanted to liquidate the properties so that he can have some free cash flow. He was spending so much on his new girlfriend nowadays that he was badly in need of cash.
The Li Company was in huge debts now and Li Shi Chen knew that the company might be announced bankrupt any moment now. But to his surprise nothing as such was announced. Li Shu Chen tried to sell off the properties but no one was ready to buy it from him. He even tried reducing the amount but still there were no buyers. Li Shu Chen had completely stopped going to the Li family house. It had been nearly a month, the last time he slept at home.
When nothing seemed to work well for him, Li Shu Chen returned to his girlfriend. Fu Ming Zhu had been torturing him for money, so he stopped contacting her often and asked his assistant to tell her he was busy if she contacted him. Wang Yu had asked Liu Guang to make sure that none of Li Zi Yun's mothers properties were touched by Li Shu Chen. Wang Yu wanted to ask Li Zi Yun if she wanted the Li Company before doing anything to it.
Li Zi Yun found a yacht docked in a slip at a marina and Wang Yu was walking in the direction towards the yacht. Li Zi Yun could not help but think 'Oh God! Why does everything in the vacation have to be about water!' Li Zi Yun had worn a scarf to hide the hickeys.
Li Zi Yun wouldn't say that she was not scared of staying in the water just because of their single encounter in the pool. The poll was not so deep and she could see the bottom, but here out in the ocean! She did not want to even think about it. Wang Yu had informed everyone they are going out somewhere but did not tell exactly. When Wu Li Shu saw the yacht, she was excited; then she looked at Li Zi Yun's face. Wu Li Shu saw that Li Zi Yun was trying hard to control her face expressions.
Wang Yu came to Li Zi Yun's side. He held her waist and walked with her.
"Just know that I would not let anything bad happen to you"
Li Zi Yun nodded her head. She was looking at the yacht without turning towards Wang Yu. As they went closer, she saw that it was a huge yacht, more than 100 feet long.
"OMG! That's one huge yacht! How much do you own?"
"You haven't even seen a part of it baby"
A white yacht was waiting for them in the marina and floating beautifully waiting to set sail.
"Hey… I've got you" Li Zi Yun smiled nervously at Wang Yu trying to take deep breaths to calm her nerves. Li Zi Yun's nervousness increased as they walked closer to the yacht. Wu Qing climbed first, followed by Wang Yu. Both of them extended their hands to Li Zi Yun. She held both their hands and climbed on the back diving platform of the yacht.
Li Zi Yun couldn't believe her eyes. Just like Wang Yu's house and private jet, except the wood used every other interior was in either black or white.
"What's with your black and white obsession?"
"You can change the interior if you want babe"
"That was not my question"
"But that's my answer. Everything that I own is yours babe, so you can do whatever you want if you don't like it"
Wang Yu took Li Zi Yun's hand to give her a tour of the yacht. In the main deck, she found a saloon, with a dining area opposite to it. The wooden flooring was shining brightly in the sunlight and Li Zi Yun had no idea what kind of wood it was. From the main deck, Wang Yu took Li Zi Yun to the master suite bedroom. The bedroom was bigger than Li Zi Yun's bedroom at her home. From the other side of the hall, no one could see what was happening in the bedroom, so that they could have total privacy and from the bedroom there was a door leading to exterior forward seating area. The after deck had a wet bar with barbecue. In the saloon, she found a wide screen television and the resting area was very comfortable.
The yacht set sail but Li Zi Yun did not leave Wang Yu's side. They were sitting in the saloon and relaxing. Except Li Zi Yun everyone else were sipping drinks but Li Zi Yun felt like she will throw up if she even drank a drop of water. A movie was playing in the television and Li Zi Yun's eyes were on the television but she had no idea what movie was being played. Her entire concentration was on her breathing and trying to look normal.
Even if she wanted to enjoy, just the thought of being in the middle of the ocean was making her stomach do somersaults. Li Zi Yun was taking deep breaths and trying to think about last evening at the pool. Wang Yu was watching Li Zi Yun from the corner of his eyes while conversing with Wu Qing. He did not want to put too much pressure on her. Li Zi Yun getting inside the yacht was a huge achievement from her part and she tried telling herself nothing will go wrong.
Wang Yu knew that getting over a trauma in a single day was not possible so he was keeping a watch on her without showing explicitly he was worried about her.
Li Zi Yun turned to Wang Yu and said, "Take me to the restroom" Li Zi Yun was scared walking alone.
Wang Yu waited for her outside in the bedroom while Li Zi Yun entered the bathroom. Li Zi Yun puked everything she ate in the morning and her stomach was aching very badly. Hearing the sounds from inside Wang Yu knocked at the door, "Are you okay? You want me to come inside?"
Li Zi Yun couldn't even answer. She washed her face and tried adjusting her makeup before coming out. She came out of the bathroom only when the pain in her stomach had reduced and it was bearable now.
Wang Yu was waiting outside the door, pacing back and forth in the room.
When Li Zi Yun came out, he asked her again, "Are you okay? You look pale. What's wrong?"
"A little seasick I guess." Li Zi Yun tried to smile at Wang Yu but it was more of a grimace. She made a mental note to herself that she must visit the doctor as soon as she returns home.
"Look at me" Wang Yu raised Li Zi Yun's chin to look at her face closely.
"We can return back right now if you want. Tell me if something is wrong only then I can find a solution for that"
"No I'm fine. I don't want to be a spoil sport"
"You're the one who is important right now" Li Zi Yun hugged Wang Yu without saying anything. All she wanted to do right now was be in his embrace.
