Chapter 386: The reminder of her weakness



Chapter 386: The reminder of her weakness

"Yuan, I've never seen my mother. So I don't know anything about being a mother.", Rong Xinghe explained, "Sometimes, I just wish she was here to tell me all about it. When Xiao and I were small, we had to google about menstruation, because our mother wasn't there to tell us about it. We missed her so, so damn much when we were living at the Rong family mansion.

"I just don't want to miss any part of this. The entire motherhood thing. I want to enjoy those nine months. I want to get extra-doting from you and my brothers then. I want to feel the life growing inside me. Every woman wants it, at some point of time in her life. I know it will be scary and torturous. But I also know that I'll be fine. I have Sister-in-law Ningtao and Songyan by my side, after all. They are amazing mothers. They will teach me everything.

"Just don't strip me of that right if we ever get married. I want to bear our kids inside my womb. I don't want Surrogacy or IVF. Please?"

Xi Yuan stared at the girl looking into his eyes with desperation and uncertainty, and let out a sigh. He knew she was right. But, he'd still hoped it didn't have to be that way. Unable to argue with her about something so sensitive, the man nodded at her gently, "I would never shatter your heart so ruthlessly, Love.", he smiled, "Just remember one thing. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. Always."

"I know.", Rong Xinghe whispered, leaning in onto the man as she captured his right earlobes into her mouth and started kissing it, tenderly at first, profoundly seconds later. She loved doing it. It was a habit she'd developed during their 'movie-marathon' sessions. Xi Yuan would go unusually silent whenever she did that, but he'd never stopped her. Clearly, it was a sensitive spot, a conclusion she had come to, long ago.

"Are you sure you want to do this?", Xi Yuan asked in his ever so mesmeric and captivating voice, as his fingertips slid along her back, applying hardly any pressure, yet sending shock waves over and under her flesh. 

Slowly, slowly, his hands moved across her skin, down the sides of her stomach, below her Split Front Frill Marron Crop Top, to finally rest upon the curves of her hips. This time, he had no intention to stop. Neither did she. They both understood what the other's touch did to them. And they both were done resisting it. They wanted this, they needed this. 

"I do.", the girl nodded, still teasing the man's ear with her lips. Xi Yuan let out a short shuddering breath and parted from the girl hastily. Standing up from the Arra Rome Dark Blue couch, he turned to kneel down and lifted the girl up in his arms. His actions were so swift, the girl didn't even get sufficient time to process what was happening. 

"What are you doing?", the girl laughed as the man started walking towards a certain direction. 

"To do it the right way.", Xi Yuan replied, stepping into the cozy beige and brown dimply-lit lounge, "Your comfort matters, Wifey.", he said, placing the girl onto the Capital Poster Platform bed, brushing his lips against hers softly. 

For a moment, the man looked at her in astonishment, his lips parted slightly. The girl could feel the heat rise up to her cheeks from within, from her rapidly beating heart. He was looking at her like she was the first star that had ever come out in the sky, a fire that had lit up in utter darkness, just for him. 

Without wasting another second, Xi Yuan stood up and pulled her thin crop top over her head, tossing it to the floor. Again, he took his time taking in the marvelous beauty, that she was. As the Black lace wired bra covered her breasts, her remaining upper body was no more a mystery to him. Gradually, his eyes trailed down from her neck to collar bone to her chest, before they finally stopped at her upper abdomen. A mark. A wound, it was. But whatever it was, he could tell it had a story. A story she had never told him before. 

"How did it happen?", the man asked, worried. He then sat beside her and helped her lie down against one of the huge cushions in the room, and this time, he observed the injury more closely and intimately. 

"Yuan, it's okay. It doesn't hurt me. Not anymore.", the girl answered, with a wry smile plastered across her lips. How could he possibly think of making out with her when he'd just seen an old wound, of course? 

"Tell me, Xinghe.", Xi Yuan pressed this time. One look at him and Rong Xinghe could see how much it was affecting him. There was pain and rage in his eyes. But his anger was the exact reason why she'd never told him about it. But she couldn't hide it from him forever, could she? 

"It's Rong Family.", the girl said softly, holding onto the man's hand tightly, as if she was extracting her strength from him. 

"What did they do to you, girl?", the man asked, trying to act as calm as he could. Just how many times had those monsters tried to break her apart?!

"I was eleven then, I remember.", the girl continued, "One of Rong Chang's friend had eyes on me. And since I meant nothing but an abomination to them, they sold me to him for one night. He, um, tried to defile me. Beat me. I cried, and screamed, and begged, but he wouldn't stop. 

"In self-defense, I picked up a flower vase from the side-table and hit him hard. On the head.", the girl chuckled, "It was then that I realized what I was supposed to be. A fighter. A warrior. 

"Anyhow, as a punishment to have 'mistreated their guests', Rong Yufan stabbed me right there, above my stomach. That wasn't even the worse, though. While the knife was still inside, he twisted it clockwise, thrice. My tissues were torn apart by then, obviously. 

"Bro Bo had arrived right at the time then and took me to the hospital. On the other hand, that old man was very well buried alive by Bro Lu, shortly after the incident. But this wound remained. As a reminder of how weak I had once been.", the girl looked down at her darling's hand over her wound, her expression solemn. 

"I am going to kill that son of a-"

"And that's exactly why I never told you about it.", Rong Xinghe laughed, tears stinging the corner of her eyes."No one in this world has the right to kill that bastard, but me. Not even you."
