37 Indiscretion (1/2)

Everyone turned to look at Li Yu Yan. She quickly calmed herself and coughed lightly.

Li Yu Yan looked down at her hands in her lap. There was anger and resentment in her eyes.

Just because she didn't really want to be tied down by Chen Wei, doesn't mean that she would let him off his leash.

Chen Meng faced his son: ”Wei do you really think you'll be able to convince Xiuying to change her mind?”

Chen Wei said with surety: ”Yes, I think I'll be able to, after all she's always done what I've asked through the years without fail. She must just be angry at discovering the momentary indiscretion between Yu Yan and me. Once her anger has calmed, I'm sure she'll see reason. She can't throw away the years we've shared together so easy.”

Chen Wei sounded may have sounded sure of himself but in his heart there was a trace of doubt. He was trying to convince himself as well as everyone else that Li Xiuying would change her mind and obediently be his again.

Li Yu Yan was clenching her fists so hard that her nails drew blood from her palms. After all, how could she bare to hear that the man who professed to love her the most, calling the relationship between them an unintentional accident?

Just who are you calling an indiscretion?!

She had given her innocence to Chen Wei, she had spent years with him. There may not be love, but what about loyalty and respect? Li Yu Yan had tears of anger in her eyes. How could Chen Wei try and throw her away like discarded plaything?

Chen Wei, I have kept score of everything you've said. I shall return it to you 10 times over!!! Do you really think that I LI YU YAN would allow you to happily marry that unwanted orphan that's not fit to even breath the same air as me?!

The Li family had no idea at the depths of the relationship between Chen Wei and Li Yu Yan. They were all aware that the two of them were dating and had some feelings for each other, but they did not know that the physical relationship between them had progressed to such a degree.

If they did... perhaps they wouldn't have sat around scheming about how to get Li Xiuying to marry Chen Wei. Hhmmm, or perhaps they still wouldn't care, would they sacrifice the opportunity to control a cash cow like Li Xiuying for the dignity of their daughter?

The Chen family and Li family continued to strategize about how to lure Li Xiuying back into the palm of their hands. All except Li Yu Yan who with a heart full of venom was plotting the demise of Chen Wei and Li Xiuying.

Health clinic

Across the city, there was also a certain someone who wanted to get closer to Li Xiuying even if he himself hadn't realized it yet.

Qin Song was buttoning up his shirt as the doctor was typing on his computer.

Qin Song's voice held a touch of anxiety: ”Dr. Kong, what's wrong with me? Is it deadly?”

Dr. Kong confidently spoke: ”You are in the peak of your health; there is nothing wrong with you. All the tests came back perfectly normal.”

Qin Song reiterated what he had said earlier: ”But I've had palpitations, sweaty palms and I've felt breathless on two separate occasions. This has never happened before.”

Dr. Kong frowned, there was clearly nothing wrong with Qin Song so why was he wishing himself sick?

Dr. Kong started clutching at straws: ”Did the situations have anything in common, where you eating something at the time? Where you outside? Was there a particular perfume you could smell?”

When Qin Song heard the word perfume, he recalled the way Li Xiuying smelled. He was particularly sensitive to scents due to his heightened sense of smell. Not many people knew about his Hyperosmia. He hated strong synthetic smells, especially the perfume Zhou FengMian seemed to douse herself in. Li Xiuying however didn't smell noxious, she smelled like summer and citrus.

Qin Song: ”Yes there was a scent I smelt both times.”

Dr. Kong: ”Okay, so maybe it could be because of the perfume?”

Qin Song nodded: ”Right, like some sort of allergic reaction?”

He was allergic to Li Xiuying's perfume. It all made sense now.

Dr. Kong: ”Well did you have a rash? or widespread itching? Any Sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes? Headaches? inability to concentrate? Wheezing? Hives? Rashes? generalized itching?
