11 Their Meeting 2

I'm Xia Naihe...

I'm...

Xia Naihe...?

Xue Ming's eyes twitched. A foreboding feeling from earlier on, come back to her again. F*ck...what a disaster!

What the hell...why he's here? Ah, wait. This mall is a public area, so he can be here. Damn it! Xue Ming felt no tears to cry for. What is this damn luck to meet him? She felt a headache.

" Oh, you are Xia Naihe. Nice to meet you, mister. Anything?" She asked nonchalantly. Her previous stern face turn poker after hearing this name. The late 'Xue Ming' delete his existence from her mind for a reason, so what point to be kind enough to know him? The old story should be left behind, not to remember. She not that thick-skinned to overly excited after hearing his name.

Taboo name, alright!

Xue Ming straightened her posture to stand as far as she can. She left her shopping bags on the bench, not getting near to get the bags back. Looking at that disappointed face of his, she laughed inside.

Too bad for him. If the old Xue Ming, maybe she felt happy even for a bit. Now, she's the new one. No longer a lovesick girl back then.

" This...um, do you have time now? Can we chat for a bit?" Xia Naihe quickly hides the pain inside his heart. He can't blame her for being so distant from him. Looking at how cold she was, the memory lost quite severe in his eyes.

" No. Why should I? I do not know you, so what is a point to give you my precious times for some random chat with a stranger?" Xue Ming sharp tongue strike Xia Naihe speechless. She looked so cold and hard to get near. Is this still a kind and softhearted Xue Ming in the past? He felt his heart was pricked by thousands of needles in one shot. The pain increased when she never facing him properly or looked at his eyes while talking.

" I...we know each other in the past. I'm a good friend of yours...no, we had a relationship as a lover in the past. So, I..." Before Xia Naihe finished his words, Xue Ming raises her hand to stop him from continuing.

" A lover in the past? Are you kidding me, mister? Why should I meet my ex for a chat? What, you want to do some reminiscing memories with me? And, after that? Be together back? This is not some f*cking novels, mister." Xue Ming scoffed. Is he insane? If that Xue Ning knows about this meeting, the hell would break loose. Is not like she afraid of that girl, but come on. Who's like to be stalked days after days like some kind of animals? Hell, she knows that sibling tried to locate her, but who is her? A practitioner. She good at hiding her trails.

Last time, she caught three private investigators and beat them until their moms don't recognise them. She erased their memories and the data that has been collected by them in these past months. She even replaces their memories with being robbed by thugs.

She can imagine how ugly Xue Ning face for not getting any clues from her investigation. She snickered deviously.

" No. It's not like that. Just, it's been awhile. So, I want to know how you're doing in these past years." Xia Naihe quickly denied. He can't believe she somehow can tell what he wants. But, is this what he wants?

They had a big fight after she has been caught in bed with another man in their apartment. She tried to explain, but he never listens. He harshly criticised her without investigating first. He knew deep inside, Xue Ming not that kind of girl. She hardly being in contact with others either male or female in her life. So, where the fault lay?

After he heard about the accident, he felt something was off. He felt so cold and afraid at the same time. Was this his fault? What goes wrong in their relationship?

" Oh, really? Then, as you can see now. I'm fine and healthy as a bull. So, no need for you too worried about me. Just go take care of your own wife at home. I heard from my brother that you already married to Xue Ning. Congratulation to both of you. I wish you a good life and become a father as soon as possible. If not, that wife of yours will feel insecure." Xue Ming smiled. In her eyes, this man has nothing to do with her. If they no longer meet each other, that much better.

A soft song of ringtone was heard inside her bag. With her enhanced hearing ability, this tiniest sound was as loud as drums. She walked closer to the bench and pick up her handbag. She pulls out her phone and saw Xue Lang's name as the caller.

She slides open the call and put the phone on her ear. She steps back a few feet from him, and answer the call.

" Hello, sis? Where are you two ran off? Still shopping?" She heard the teasing tone of Xue Lang and scoffed at him. This brat...

" Yes, I'm waiting for Xiao Qi at...level four. Come up now. I'm at the nearest elevator. You can see me after going out of the lift."

" Fine, I'm on my way. Stay there, alright?" Xue Lang grumbled before turning off the call. She chuckled softly and saw the man still at his original place. Behind the bench.

" Are you still not going? I'm busy right now." She raised her eyebrows in questioning. This man quite presistent, no?
