Love And Gunshots
Ho Mei was surprised hearing such a thing from her boss, and she became even more scared.
"Ho Mei? Hey, hey, what is it? You are shaking"
He asked her with concern. Ho Mei was thinking about her life, and she thought maybe everything was because of her. Guang Liang took her soft beautiful hand and rubbed it tenderly with his palm as if it would break in the next second. And then he said to her…
"Hong Mei? What is it? You can talk to me, hm?"
"Sir Guang…?"
"Mhm?"
"Are you leaving your wife... because of me? Am I really the cause?"
"Of course not! It's not your fault at all! We've had our problems way back and I just decided to put a stop to it now!"
"I…"
"Shhh…! Please, don't say anything else!"
He hushed her, for her not to say more words. Guang Liang pressed his index finger on her soft lips and they stared at each other deeply. Their hearts were on relay, and their eyes were shaky, while sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss. And in the next second, the strong magnet had already taken over! Their soft, wet lips were now sealed!
The temperature in the room increased instantly. They became very hot and then Guang Liang was leading all the way until…
"Umm...sir Guang…? I...I..umm...I am sorry... please…"
She stuttered. Ho Mei was able to stop them from drowning completely. They were both breathing hard and perspiring at the same time.
"I should be the one saying that, I couldn't control myself. Though, I'm not sorry about the kiss!"
"...."
There was silence. Ho Mei thought maybe she heard wrong but the man noticed her confusion and repeated himself.
"I'm not sorry about the kiss. I like you very much. I've liked you for a long time now. I feel very comfortable with you and I feel drawn to you, like there's this strong unexplainable connection between us. I just can't pinpoint it no matter how hard I try!"
"Please Ho Mei, accept me!"
"Sir Guang…"
Ho Mei's mouth was wide open, she could not believe what she was hearing from her very big boss. Guang Liang looked at Ho Mei with a calm expression and she could see how pure and sincere the man was.
"We can do this. Please, say yes"
"Sir Guang, i'm... sorry, but I can't do that. You have a wife and... people would think that I made you divorce your wife. Please, I just want to live freely"
"Do you like me? I mean, has there ever been a time you maybe felt something different?"
"I...I can't deny the fact that...that I have had a similar experience like yours before, but…"
"Mnnnnn…"
Guang Liang sealed her lips again with his lips and he started kissing her more than before. The kiss was deep!, and Ho Mei almost stopped breathing. Ho Mei was falling deeper, until a knock was heard. She was saved by the bell!
"Mnnn...sssir...mnnn...we should…stop, please…"
He looked at the girl with her lips that was a bit swollen because of the kiss and smiled at her.
"Please, accept my heart. I never liked her, we were only joined because of my parents. Please, Ho Mei. I really do want to be with you"
"Sir Guang…?"
And right there, a knock was heard again. Ho Mei quickly excused herself and went to check who the person was. Immediately she opened the door, her heart almost jumped out of her body.
"Inside right now!! I said get in!!"
Guang Liang quickly stood up from the chair, but before he could do anything, the man shot him twice, right through his chest, with the gun he was pointing at Ho Mei. It all happened in just a flash. Ho Mei almost died of shock. She turned around and wanted to go to Guang Liang who was lying flat on the cold floor, but then again, *Pow!!*, the man shot Ho Mei right there, and she fell on Guang Liang. When he made sure they weren't breathing, he took off, and zoomed!
It was a horrible scene. Blood was everywhere and people gathered to take a look at the fresh accident. But before then, they had already called for an ambulance. In a short time, the news was everywhere in the whole of China and beyond, that the one and only Guang Liang the tycoon, was shot and they don't know if he was dead or still alive. It was a horrible night for everyone.
While lamenting and praying at the same time, something else happened in a different place.
*********
"Mnnnnn…!mnnn! Ahhhhh!"
"Your imperial majesty…"
"Oh, the stars…! Sorry your majesty"
"Go now, go announce that her imperial majesty is in labour! Go now!"
"Yes, my lady!"
It was chaotic in the empress chamber. That was the day the empress, "Niu Chunhua" was giving birth to her baby. She is married to the great emperor "Fun Guozhi", the ruler of the Gi Yin Star Dynasty. All kingdoms were ruled by the emperor Fun Guozhi.
The palace maid immediately ran out of the empress chamber to break the news to everyone. They all gathered and were praying for the empress except for a certain person, and that is the emperor himself. He was "busy" in his chamber and no one dared to disturb him. He must retreat when he wants to.
The ministers of state, the prime minister and every other important person who was involved in the royal affairs, all stood right there in the Gi imperial court, patiently waiting for the emperor and also hoping for good news from the royal doctor. They had all waited for years for the empress to give them a little highness. Every effort they took was fruitless, until a few months ago. They were very happy and could not wait for their little highness to come out.
"Your majesty? You'll be alright. Her majesty will push when I say so, ok?"
"Mhm! Mnnnnn!"
"Ahhhh…! Mnnn! Oh, the stars.! This is so painful! Mnnnnn! Where is his majesty?!"
"The empress asked the court lady"
"His Imperial majesty, is...is in his royal chamber"
The court lady answered in anxiety. She was very scared.
"Did you... Oh...mnnn…!"
The pain hit her hard again and she forgot totally about the emperor.
"Your majesty? You can push now, it's time"
"No! It's not!!"
