Mark Of The Destiny

"Good morning, Susu." With a jerk of a pan, he tossed the pancake up in the air and called out as Suyin shuffled into the living room next morning, rubbing the drowsiness off of her eyes. "When did you return last night? How was it?" there was a hint of mischief in his voice.

Last night, when neither she returned nor was she reachable, he got worried and checked the location of his car. People's Hospital it was!

Happy with the outcome, he slept peacefully!

"It was amazing. Hottie bum's hotness is at another level. We kissed, we hugged, and we….." With a beautifully disheveled look and glowing dewy face, she purred seductively.

"….and we?" he jumped on to the couch, looking at her with eyes as wide as owl's. "What else you did? Don't keep any details. Otherwise, I won't tal...OUCH…..OWWW…..OW…OW…..why are you hitting me?..... Ow…"

Before he could understand anything she started throwing punches. "Donkey. Jerk. Asshole. Rascal. Shameless. Baboon. Brute. Dog. When did you talk to Wang Shi? How does he know that you call me Susu? Why did you keep it away from me? Why the f*ck you didn't open your mouth even after calling me Susu in front of Whiz?"

He grew serious and held her fist. Anyway, those punches were nothing but light pokes for him. "Did he say anything to you? If he dares to do anything against you, I'll kill that bastard."

"No, he didn't. And stop pretending as if you care for me." Pushing him she got up to leave, but he hugged her from the back.

"Don't say it like this. You know I love you. The first time I spoke to him was when he took drunk you at his home and answered my call. Out of habit, I addressed you as Susu. And revealing Zz's identity was never my intention, you happen to be talking to Whiz when I called you Susu again. That's it. Sorry. Please….."

Disappointed and helpless, she turned in his arms and saw him guilty and happy. "Cunning Fox. I know you are happy….. and I'm itching to break your teeth."

"I'll still look handsome… and I'll still love you." He reached out and gave a warm hug.

Sniff!

Sniff!

"Jammie…. Did you smell that? Something's burning."

"OH NO! My pancake…." He rushed and poured a glass of water over the now charred pancake. Suyin turned the chimney to maximum to clear the air.

Her gaze fell on the exquisite bouquet of Cara lilies. "Nice flowers. Can't believe Evan is this romantic." She winked.

"Nanananananana…." He mimicked her, "Evan only knows my a.s.s. Take a proper look; these are from your Hottie bum."

"WHAT?" She plucked the card attached and scowled when James tried to peek. "Shut up and clean the kitchen,"

It was a handwritten note from him

[Let's start the day with a smile, 🙂 🙂Wang Shi]

"Stop smiling like a fool. I'm dying to know what's in the gift." He pushed a beautifully wrapped gift to her. On the top was the car key, which James shamelessly picked. "He got everything delivered an hour back, including my car."

Suyin opened the gift. Saying she was not excited would be a lie. The flowers were enough to make her dance, but a gift from him…. Sigh….She could die peacefully!

"Ow! It's a phone. How disappointing. I thought of jewelry or something." He resumed cleaning the messy kitchen counter. "He's frugal. Minus points."

She glared, "No one asked your opinion. My phone is not working properly after getting soaked in rain. He's thoughtful. Plus points." She rushed to the bedroom and come out with her old phone. "Jammie, before this phone dies completely, can you transfer everything? I've important things in it."

"Meanie!… this puppy face doesn't suit you." He took both the phone and slumped on the couch, "Having a technologically challenged friend is so cool. I can finally show off prowess."

"Just do it." She picked the cordless, "Now that you burn our breakfast, I'll order. Any demands?"

"Naah!"

"Fine. I'm ordering Italian."

"Don't you have to go to the office? You'll get late."

"Nope. Ministry has asked me to take the day off and join from Monday. They're worried I'm stressed out. But it's fine; I'll finish my other works in these three days. Have to search home and boutique for mom, purchase a car, and many more."

Meanwhile, Hui Chouming returned home after spending the night in the hospital with her father. The shock and humiliation were so much for the poor Hui Guozhi that he was taken into the emergency after he complained of c.h.e.s.t pain.

Well… it was just a gastric problem, but he was traumatized by the enormous amount Suyin sought as compensation. A hundred million!

"Where's the master?" she asked the servant cleaning the living room.

"In the study. Madam."

Hui Chouming was fuming mad. She tried calling her husband throughout the night, but her calls went answered.

As she opened the door of the study, she found Qi Wren dozing off on the leather couch while the stench of alcohol permeated in the air which makes her drop her LV Bag on the floor as she rushed to open the windows.

Just when she turned, burning rage hissed through her body like a poison.

On the LED screen was the picture of Suyin from the press conference. It was from the video shared on news channels and internet. The way it was paused and zoomed at her, she doesn't have to guess who did it.

A woman that men dread but d.e.s.i.r.es too! Suyin was just three years younger than Chouming, yet she still had the exuberance of youth. Tall, attractive figure, flawless skin, and she walked with the confidence of a m.a.t.u.r.e woman and an intelligent beauty.

She picked the remote and switched off the LED.

"When did you come?" Qi Wren rubbed the back of his neck to ease the soreness.

"Just now," Her voice sounded bitter, fuelled with anger and irritation. "Why didn't you answer my calls last night?"

"What's with the tone? I was busy working. Pass me a glass of water." He glanced at the digital clock kept at the side. It was past noon. All night he watched the clips on Zhao Suyin, entrapped by the beauty she now emitted.

He could not stop himself from thinking about her. Her attractive figure, plump bosoms, those mesmerizing grey eyes, and soft skin….. It raced his heart.

She has truly transformed herself!

Years back, she was the ugly nerd who knew nothing but books. Grooming was out of her dictionary, cosmetics were non-existent. Dressing??? She probably doesn't even know the spelling of it. He hated her to the core….If it was not for her father's wealth, he wouldn't have bothered to spare a second glance, least marrying her.

No matter how much he tried but he could not recall the feel of her body when he touched her after marriage. It was only once and that too out of l.u.s.t to satisfy his physical needs.

"We lost to Suyin. Did you see the clips?"

He jolted out of his thoughts at Chouming's voice and accepted the glass of water.

"Oh! Suyin…" her name brought a smirk at his face as malicious, gleeful thoughts surfaced. "She's changed. No doubt you lost to her."

"WE lost to her," Chouming's face sank. Something on his face must have shown his lingering thoughts because she seemed to understand he was talking about more than the case. "Wren, are you thinking about her?" her voice came gentle.

Qi Wren's face changed instantly. He put the glass aside and pulled his beautiful wife in his arms. "What are you saying, Ming? When I have such a beauty as my wife why would I think of her? By change, I mean, she's confident and successful now. Looks like you took her lightly while dealing with her." he nudged around her neck and saw her melting in his arms.

"Really?"

"Uh-huh,"

"What about the compensation she demanded? We won't give a single penny to her. Right?" She sounded like a spoilt little wife, drawing doodles on his c.h.e.s.t. "Don't be lenient. She's just jealous of your money and success and is trying to get your attention."

His ego boosted. He pushed her on to the couch, "Are we going to waste time talking about her? Let her be." and he sealed his mouth with hers.
