章節 31: 2.3 Third Small Star – Departure
Hospital.
Hei Xue finally finished packing his things. Normally things like this were done by servants but the only one left to serve him in this moment is his lawyer, Hei Yu. He tasked him to leave the room to wait for Wan Lengya and officialize their divorce papers.
He had done his part and signed all that needed to be signed even leaving his own seal to show his full agreement to the separation.
[Host, are you really leaving the country?]
"Just for a while. With my fingers suddenly getting healed, will cause a commotion. At the same time, I want to look for my husband first. Exe observed the Protagonist Gong and Protagonist Shou for me. Record their every single movement."
[Host, I understand.]
Hei Xue left his former hospital room leaving a last glance in that empty room. With a mischievous smile on the corner of his lips, he left a bag of sweets by the corner of the room for those little children who love to visit his room to scourge for snacks. Walking away, he left the hospital and waited outside the hospital building for his chauffeur to come to pick him up. This is to have the chauffeur send him to the airport for his afternoon flight.
Hei Xue decided to leave the country today. At the bench just outside the hospital, Hei Xue waited. With his celestial blue eyes covered behind his sunglasses and hair returned to original pitch black, no one will notice his former identity as Wu Xue unless one knew him so well. Currently playing with his phone he noticed that when his car arrived, at the same time he saw the two men he didn't want to see the most before he leaving the place.
One man in an almost complete white formal suit appeared with his silvery hair and orbs signifying the coldness of ice. An icy king like aura surrounds him, adding his cold atmosphere that can be felt just by seeing him. Meanwhile the other man beside him wore a black and grey matching attire with his pure obsidian hair and eyes showing a gallant posture and arrogance in his presence.
These two are Wan Lengya whose name means the cold night and Yue Wuya, the Silent Moon.
Hei Xue's eyes widened as if to show his surprise but thanks to the glasses he was wearing no one was able to see his stunned expression. The reason he was shocked is not because the pair is extremely handsome but for some other reason only he could understand.
Hei Xue stared at Wan Lengya, "T-This... is he..." silently murmured as he looked and observed Wan Lengya even more closely than he is supposed to be.
Feeling the erratically beating of his heart and the familiarity that person always made him sense, Hei Xue knew that he found him. The decision to forget the man after leaving the first world had failed. Though after entering this second world Hei Xue had made a clear cut in his heart to never expect that he would be able to meet this man for the second time.
After all, he thought that this man is just an original character of that first world. Seeing him now in this world gave him mixed feelings of happiness, confusion, anger, disbelief and yearning. This is the man he gave his whole heart. He would never mistake him for someone else. This is his husband - Wang Tian, of that world.
Hei Xue knew it was him but remembering this man's agreement to their divorce, resentment fills his heart. In the end he decided to still leave the country. A punishment must be given, whether his actions is intentional or not.
As the two passed by each other, Hei Xue could only whisper playful to the man's ears, "We shall... see each other again... In the future~" he walks side by side in the opposite direction as he was leaving the place. Walking towards the road where he is about to be escorted by his chauffeur.
His teasing voice lingers unexpectedly in the ears of that cold faced man. Only Wan Lengya turned his head to follow the departing figure of Hei Xue. His silvery irises unavoidably keep a note on that unknown figure. That man's mischievous voice had a hint of allure which was left lingering in his ears as if he was bewitched by a devil. Wan Lengya felt his soul trembles while his heart didn't just skip a beat but started beating uncontrollably.
A voice was telling him from his mind, 'You mustn't let him escape. Capture him before he is completely gone.' but before he could chase after that fleeing figure, Yue Wuya's voice brought him back to reality.
"What are you looking for? Let's go. Xue sent me a message saying that the lawyer will meet us first while the doctor checked on his fingers." said Yue Wuya while reading the reply sent to him by Hei Xue before he got to the hospital.
The moment that fading figure completely disappeared from his line of sight, Wan Lengya felt something stabbed his heart and unconsciously grabbed his chest with a frown tainting his icy eyes with bewilderedness. Wan Lengya felt that something that is supposed to be his, escaped from his clutches making him feel empty within.
His heartbeat is out of control making him feel perplexed and uneasy. Unable to understand his heart he averted his eyes purposely, blinding his own heart and still followed Yue Wuya towards the hospital.
Wonderland's Lawyer and CEO, Hei Yu, welcomed them by the lobby that was currently empty except for his figure. On his arms is a black leather covered folder while silently waiting for their arrival. He elegantly passed his time by enjoying his morning coffee.
Once Hei Yu had spotted the anticipated pair, this lawyer didn't even stand up in greeting and only gestured for the two to take the seat at the opposite side where he was seated.
He introduced himself respectfully in a professional manner, "I am Master Xue's exclusive lawyer, Hei Yu. Could I speak with Sir Wan Lengya?" said Hei Yu will look at the two, mostly at Wan Lengya.
Wan Lengya sat before Hei Yu while Yue Wuya remained standing. He wanted wait for their conversation to finish. The black folder on Hei Yu's arms was opened as he presented it in front of Wan Lengya.
The documents were titled 'Divorce Agreement' with Wu Xue's signature signed at the lower right of the paper with his fingerprint stamped on it as well as his seal. Hei Yu started the explanation of the contents of the documents.
"The contents of the Divorce Agreement as follows. The marriage relationship of Sire Wu Xue and Sir Wan Lengya will be immediately dissolved as soon as the signature and thumbprints of both parties are completed at this page. All of the assets between the two will be under the name of Sir Wan Lengya.
The villa and salon as well as the manor within the Wu Wan Conservatory of Music will also be solely under Sir Wan Lengya's name except for the antique grand piano within it. The master was still thinking what to do about that Pure White Jade Grand Piano. I was told that Sir Wan could use it as you will, but the master wished for it not to be moved somewhere. Does Sir Wan accept?" Said Hei Yu to Wan Lengya who just nodded his head in agreement.
The lawyer sighed in relief when he saw that the new owner of the manor had agreed to this last selfish wish of his master.
"Last condition. After the papers are signed, Sire Wu Xue and Sir Wan Lengya will effectively lose the title of marriage and will be free to do as they want. Please sign the agreement for official processing. So, it could be announced in public officially as you've both decided."
Hei Yu presented out a pen in front of Wan Lengya who just finished reading the contents and verified that it was the same as what the lawyer before him had explained.
Wan Lengya stared at the pen in front of him as if hesitating only pausing his movement for a while. Before he decided to signed the papers and stamped his fingerprint as well as family seal. At the moment he had done all that, Wan Lengya felt the hand he used to sign the papers of the divorcement slightly trembles and turned cold.
In his mind hesitation and regret have appeared, his hands made a delayed gesture as if he wanted to take back what he just signed but Lengya could no longer take it back. The black folder suddenly closed and was taken by Hei Yu with a smile on his face, ignoring the turbulence within those silvery irises of this impassive gentleman before him.
This was his master's orders: "No matter what, once Wan Lengya signed the paper, no changes shall be made after." Hei Yu gave Wan Lengya an enigmatic smile though his eyes were filled with hidden disgust. Wan Lengya saw that as well but remained silent as usual. Despite the rudeness of the person before him, for some reason his anger couldn't fluctuate well.
The lawyer didn't even stretched out his hand for a handshake because the one before him is famous for his slight OCD demeanor tendencies. He just stood up, preparing to leave.
"Then this one shall take his leave. If you will excuse me." said Hei Yu with his usual business smile.
Bewildered Yue Wuya who was listening at the corner the whole time, "A question. Why would Xue give Lengya every asset they've shared together as a married couple?" he asked.
"Normally one would split their assets upon separation but… the master said that he doesn't wish to leave anymore traces that showed their prior marriage in his ownership. Master has thrown the name of Wu. As the divorce papers were signed, the master shall no longer have any connection to the Wu and Wan Clan. This is the reason why everything was given to Sir Wan's ownership. As for the rest... You will understand what I mean after you visited the master's room. I shall take my leave now." replied Hei Yu.
Before Hei Yu took his leave, he was stopped by Wan Lengya as the musician felt restless when he saw that lawyer gave him a meaningful but disdainful smile, at the moment he finished signing up the divorce agreement.
"Wait! Why is it that you call Xue'er, Master instead of Prince?" asked Wan Lengya but the latter didn't give him a straight answer and left him an ambiguous one.
Hei Yu just gave them a taunting but judgmental smile, "Sir shall understand when you come to meet the master in his hospital room. Have a good day~" replied Hei Yu before taking his leave without looking back at the two who were left behind.
The two heads to Wu Xue's hospital room, only for them to be welcomed by the nurses who are cleaning up the place. Aside from them, the person they came to meet is no longer there.
The agitation Wan Lengya felt within his heart was finally given a reason. The moment they didn't see Wu Xue's figure inside that room, which is now cleaned up removing all former traces of a person, gave reason to the anxiety within his heart. Only then that both of them realized, that the person they've come for had longed left.
Yue Wuya immediately ran after that lawyer who just took his leave nonchalantly after finishing his business.
"Damn! I know that something was wrong when that lawyer left just like that without meeting Xue with us!" Yue Wuya said as he left the hospital in a hurry to follow Hei Yu.
Yue Wuya ran out to catch up with Hei Yu but Wan Lengya remained standing silently by the opened door of that empty room. Except for nurses, there's no traces left behind that shows that Wu Xue stayed inside this place.
Only the shadow of Wu Xue's slender straight back from a week before was left in his dazed eyes. A certain emptiness that he never felt before swallows his heart.
Wan Lengya couldn't explain the feeling of emptiness, just an unbearable loneliness hit his whole being. As if he lost a part of his soul.
