573: Let's end the things here.

Let's end the things here.

Late at night, hearing her phone vibrating on the table, Li Xue carefully slipped out of the bed silently, tip-toeing her steps so that her movements didn't wake the man up from his sleep.0

She usually doesn't sleep with him in the same room, but earlier she doesn't know how the man made her end up on his bed. They were just talking and cuddling, when she drifted in the comfort of the sleep. She smiled looking back at him on the bed. With him around, she gets so carefree that even sleep doesn't follow the general etiquette of asking permission before coming.

The woman shook her head at her own thoughts as she reached to get her phone before checking the number. Her expressions changed as she quickly took her steps out of the room towards the terrace. She would not want the man to even get the whiff of things. Not because she doesn't want him to know but more because she doesn't want to make him worry too much about her. Hasn't his discussion with his family already been difficult for him? It must have been, given to her drawback. 

"Hello!" Li Xue started with a slightly changed voice, connecting the call from her side. It was the call for The _Sharpest_Arrow and not Li Xue.

"Boss, the primary culprit, Mr Han is back in the town and is currently residing in some hotel in the south" The voice on the other side replied back with some hurry. And Li Xue's expression went stiff for a second. "Boss, we are not yet sure of the news as the information came from some external tip. We are still verifying it. Once we get to confirm the things and take out the proper address, we would send someone …".

"Don't!" Li Xue interrupted, halting the voice on the other side. Her voice, coming out cold. "Don't send anyone for things. Instead, send me the address. I would go myself to snoop on him".

The line fell silent for a moment. No one responded, neither Li Xue cared to explain more. She knew what must have shocked the people on the other side. After all, they don't know her real identity yet, nor they knew her desperation for this project especially. This was her first time going on for some snoop, otherwise every other time before she would just guide them well on the call to do the things.

"We understood, Boss! We will mail you the information along with other needed things". After a long pause, came the affirmation and that was all Li Xue needed before disconnecting the call.

The next day, Zheng Wenting woke up on his bed, holding his head. "Argh! What's with this headache? How come this is so bad?". His eyes went to stare out the window only to find that there was no longer the mild sun of the morning in the sky rather the blazing one of the afternoons. "Ah, it's already so late. Why did no one care to wake me up?"

Mumbling his words under his breath, he was about to give the call to some servant at his place but then suddenly his ears caught the light familiar sobs from a near distance, particularly from behind the sofas at a distance. His eyes searched around but no one came to his sight. Scrunching his brows, he threw the blanket away, getting off the bed. "Who is there? Sying is that you?" He asked, slowly taking his steps in the direction of the sobs. His head was paining like hell but nothing was coming to his remembrance from last night.

Wasn't he in the club last time? Then how did he reach back home? And even if he reached why was he hearing Wen Sying's sobs around? He has never brought Sying to his place and every time they met, he has always visited her place or mostly stayed with her at her apartment. Then how come today it was …

His track of thoughts took a pause when his eyes caught the sobbing mess, the woman had made herself there.

Wen Sying was sitting there, tightly wrapped in a duvet while silently sobbing in her tears. She looked vulnerable and looking at her like that Zheng Wenting was all clueless.

Crouching down onto his knees, he tried to reach the woman but before he could even get to touch her, his hands were swatted away. "Stay away! Don't come near me Wenting. Just go away." She yelled, suppressing her words painfully.

"Darling, what happened? Are you in pain? Did something happen? Tell me", the man asked, trying his best to remember the things but however he tried, nothing came to his memories that could consequence the woman to this pitiful state. She looked like she was harassed both physically and emotionally.

His eyes stared around the room to remember the things but his headache was simply not helping him out in any way.

"Sying, don't be like this. Please tell me, what is it? If you don't tell me, how will I know and help you out from the situation? Did someone again say something? Tell me, I can …" He tried his words again but the latter half of his words were stuck back in his throat when all of a sudden caught the accusing gaze on the woman on himself. He felt addled looking at her like that but without asking her, how would he know?

"Do you really want to know, Wenting?" In between her sobs, Wen Sying asked. But getting a reply was not her intention ever rather, casting a gaze of accusation to make the man feel more guilty was her aim.

Zheng Wenting was all dumbfounded with her gaze. He was about to say something but before he could even utter a word, he heard the woman say.

"Let's not carry forward any more, Wenting. Let's end everything here itself" Wen Sying said under the confused watchful gaze of the man, before again breaking into the cries. "Let's break up and end the things, right here".

The man was shell shocked at her words, not feeling sane enough to even comprehend a single phrase of her. "W- What? What do you mean Sying?"
