Now that she knew Feng Teng could see her, she faced the office and called him. He immediately picked up and saw she was standing outside their window."Why haven't you come into the office?" He asked."Waiting for you ....." she replied as she smiled at the blank glass."Wait for me", he said. 5 mins later, he came out holding a soft shawl for her and covered her shoulders. They stood like that for some time. Shan Shan's heart was full. The timing was perfect, but as she was about to break the news.."I need to head to HongKong. The person there needs to be changed". Feng Teng said in a low tone. She could see he was distracted and very preoccupied. "Hmmm, OK", she replied. Her phone rang. Liu Liu called her asking some questions about something that had not been done in the handover.Feng Teng was on his phone as well.... Not the time I guess- she thought as she said goodbye and headed to her old office. In the taxi, she started to research on what to do during the first months of pregnancy. She really wanted to talk to her mom, but she wanted Feng Teng to know first about the babyShe had full confidence that he would speak to her father and his demands, and her mom would be overjoyed anyway. The building glowed in the afternoon sun. It was almost six months to when Liu Liu took full charge of the jewellery store, her cousin's life was finally complete and happy. She was finally settling down with her new assistant boyfriend and enjoying the fruits of all the hard work that they had put in for the past one and a half years. There were a lot of clients milling around, and she could see Liu Liu had her hands full.Shan Shan headed to the office upstairs and started the computer up, immersing herself in the numbers. But after an hour feeling a bit tired, she stretched out on the sofa to take a small nap. It was good for her to take naps according to the articles on the website.. smiling, she closed her eyes.'Nai Nai, don't worry so much. I will come and visit you soon. Yes yes....I will bring my girlfriend also. I promise you.. Nai Nai, I will come .... for sure....." Shan Shan woke up to his conversation. She heard Wang Hong, her cousin's boyfriend shuffling as he searched for something in the room. He finally put the phone down and jolted.He had not realized that Shan Shan was sleeping on the sofa. 'Hope I did not disturb you? " he asked as he explained"I was talking to my grandmother. She is turning 80 this year and wanted me to come and visit her in Putuosha. She runs a small bed and breakfast next to a shrine and really wants to meet Liu Liu' He blushed as he spoke the last sentence. Shan Shan found his sincerity so endearing and thought to speak to Liu Liu to head there as soon as possible. "No No, its good to wake up. I need to head home, as well, did not realize that it was so late". She sat up and started putting her things back into her bag. It was getting dark already, and she knew that Feng Teng would reach home soon... She dozed off in the taxi again and felt really tired as she got off at her place. "Aiyaa, forgot my key card again," thought Shan Shan. Last time she lost her Key Card she had so much trouble getting another one made. To escape the sharp tongue of Feng Teng, she took the service lift up to her apartment. The backdoor key was always there with her,She heaved a sigh of relief as she slipped into the kitchen. There was an argument she could hear, raised voices arguing...It was Feng Yue and Feng Teng...The brother and sister were really going at it."- What is wrong with me worrying when you will have a baby. I had such a difficult time to conceive and had a miscarriage as well. She is the same blood group as me...." Feng Yue was quite passionately saying. Shan Shan inched closer; this was hitting close to home for her..."I DONT WANT A CHILD"...... she heard Feng Teng say.That sentence shouted so loudly, made her head ring..Shan Shan was confused. Did she hear wrong..."I don't want Shan Shan to think of anyone but me. She does not need to go through the uncertainty of pregnancy, and her family is against it was well. She and I are very happy as we are. Don't put the Feng family's desires before my happiness." When she heard what Feng Teng said - Shan Shan's bag fell down with a thud.Her head spun a bit ,and She slowly slid down the wall and sat on the cold floor. Her mind was racing.... the argument cut off immediately..She saw a pair of black slippers come into her view. Strong arms pulled her up and picked her up. "Xue Shan Shan, what are you doing eavesdropping from the corners?' asked Feng Teng. She was silent. 'Did you hear the discussion?" he asked as crouched down.. when he was she was not responding, worried a bit ...he carried her to the bedroom and put her gently on the bed. Her cold hands were grasped into his, and he earnestly looked at her. In the background, she heard the door of the apartment being closed. "Shan Shan" Feng Teng spoke to her, his eyes concerned. "Are you OK? Don't overthink what you heard - Shan Shan. I wanted Yue Yue to stop that line of questioning. So I made a strong counter-argument. Don't think too much. I have such an important deal almost closing, the mess in Hong Kong to deal with and Yue Yue distracts me so much. I sometimes wonder how Yan Qing bears up with her...."He rubbed her hand with his again and looked at her... "Are you worried about what you heard - Shan Shan... it's not important, don't bother about it so much. OK??"
