Handsome CEO'S Bewitching Wife ( Part : 2)

299 - 300

One day when Xin Mei woke up in the morning, Su Yuchen was looking at her with a sad smile on his lips. There was a kind of gloominess around him.

He did not say much to her. He only said that he wanted to take her somewhere special. Somewhere, the place which was very special and close to his heart.

Xin Mei frowned but without questioning him, she got ready and wore a presentable dress which he found accurate.

Su Yuchen and Xin Mei made their way towards the car parking and took their seats in the car. Su Yuchen started to drive the car. He was silent throughout on the way.

"Chen, where are you taking me?" Xin Mei asked for the umpteenth  time but again she did not receive any reply from him.

"Chen, please say something. Your silent is making me afraid. Where are we going?" she yelled with worry and concern in her voice.

Su Yuchen sighed and looked at her. He felt bad that he had worried her without any use.

"I am taking you to the place where my orphanage was once located. I visit there every year at this time of the year."

Xin Mei nodded her head and did not ask him any more questions. She knew the questions regarding his childhood and orphanage were very sensitive for him.

After one and a half-hour of the drive, they arrived in front of the abandoned building. Xin Mei's felt a pinch in her heart when she caught the sight of the building which was burnt completely.

Su Yuchen stepped out of the car and Xin Mei followed him. They walked towards the orphanage and Xin Mei felt afraid, feeling horrific vibes from the orphanage.

Su Yuchen felt slight hesitation in her, held onto her hand.

"What happened here?"

"On a dreadful night, the fire caught the orphanage. Everyone was sleeping, no one realized that the orphanage was burning until it was the end. Everyone died. No one came out from that dreadful fire." Voice of Su Yuchen was heavy and was full of pain.

"I still remember, the very next day, all newspapers and every news channel was filled with the news of the fire in an orphanage. Everyone died. My friends, guardians, everyone…including Mian." Voice of Su Yuchen became very dull and he took a deep breath.

"Xin Mei, you always ask me about my past. Let me open up something about my past with you." 

Su Yuchen walked towards a wall and stopped in front of it. "Mei, this is the place where I have met my Mian, twenty-three years back for the first time. Today is the day when I met her. I come to the orphanage on this date, every year to celebrate her birthday."

On hearing him, Xin Mei realized why he was so silent from the morning.

"She was hardly a week old. She was so small. I felt so close to her the moment I had seen her for the first time." He gulped and walked towards Xin Mei.

He held her hand and pulled her inside the orphanage. Xin Mei felt bad at her heart when she saw the burnt building.

"This is the place where we used to play and there, she used to hide behind that tree. It was her favourite place to play hide and seek."

Su Yuchen was telling Xin Mei about all the memories of himself and his childhood. The time which he had spent with his Mian and how close she was to his heart.

"You miss her?" She asked and leaned against his shoulder. She felt insecure hearing the way Su Yuchen was talking about Mian.

"I miss her. I miss her dearly. She was my only family during my childhood. She was the one who had given me a motto to live in this life, the one who had pulled me out from the darkness and into light-filled life."
