She waited at the airport for the flight. Thankfully, just before running away from the house, she had taken her pa.s.sport. She knew that her boyfriend didn't even have the pa.s.sport so what was he doing now, she wondered. The flight's boarding started soon and she went inside.

When the plane landed, the first this Shu Ning did was to visit her family house but except the guards, there was no one. Upon asking where was her family, they said that they didn't know about there whereabouts. Shu Ning didn't have a phone also so she borrowed the phones of the guards and called her sister.

Her sister picked the call and told her as to where they were. Shu Ning rushed to the country farmhouse where they were all hiding. When she reached there, she saw the desolate state of her brother and sisters and felt terrible. They told her how their mother and father were kidnapped and how they are missing ever since. They even accused her for running away a night before causing the parents to go missing.

Shu Ning couldn't do anything except cry. She sat down on her knees and wailed. Because of her so many things had happened and she wasn't even aware of it. She loathed herself for the current situation. Had she married Ah Jun, he would have saved them all from this problem.

"Did you go to the police station to file a missing report?" she asked her brother Shu Jing Quo.

"No, I went to Xie Yuansheng and he told me that he had abducted our parents. He also told me that it wouldn't be any good if I file it with the police because they had enough evidence which proved that our parents tried to kill him and Feng Xinying."

Shu Ning knew the truth. She was a part of several of her parents' schemes. All she could do was huddle up with her sisters and cry even more.

She came to know that after the incident, they had stopped going to the school. Shu Ning suggested them that they should all move back to the family house because now things must have cooled down.

"But we are scared that Ah Jun might be after us," said her brother.

"We will stay there very quietly. Plus we need money and how are we going to get money if we stay here? I will hunt for a job," she replied.

The brother and sisters agreed to it because their deposits were drying. They all moved back to their family house that evening itself. Shu Ning had to find a job soon. In the meanwhile she decided to look at all the family heirlooms, which could be sold and she could feed her siblings.

Feng Xinying's clothes had become very tight. Each month she had to buy new clothes. So when Xie Yuansheng came back from the office one evening, she urged him to go to the market with her to buy clothes for her. Xie Yuansheng was happy and after relaxing for a while, he went to the market to buy clothes. In fact he drove the car out of excitement. They stopped in front of an exclusive mall that sold clothes. Xie Yuansheng happily parked the car and took Feng Xinying to a high-brand fas.h.i.+on store that catered to this special line.

When Feng Xinying entered, everywhere she went, all she saw was clothes for small babies. She was confused. The store manager recognized the woman and immediately rushed to her. He was so happy to have a customer like her in their store. "Madam, what can I do for you?"

She was standing with Xie Yuansheng. She looked at his direction and to her surprise she found him looking at the rack that had clothes for a baby girl very intently. She shook her head and then looked back at the store manager. She said, "I am looking for clothes for pregnant women. Where is that counter?"

The store manager looked at her with surprise and then said, "Madam, this store exclusively sells clothes for infants and toddlers. We do not have clothes for pregnant moms."

Feng Xinying stared at him for a long time. She pursed her lips and then said, "Sorry to have bothered you."

"No problem, Madam," said the manager and then smiled as he left.

Feng Xinying went to her husband who was still looking at those tiny clothes. She tapped his shoulder and said, "Xie Yuansheng, why are we here?"

He gave her a strange look and said with a shrug, "To buy clothes for our baby."

"But I wanted to buy clothes for myself!" she replied exasperatedly. Then she looked at all the clothes he was looking at. They were that of a baby girl. She said, "Why are you looking at clothes for a girl baby?"

"Because we are going to have a girl, I can feel it!" he replied and before Feng Xinying could say anything called the store manager.

The manager again trotted towards them with a smile plastered on his face. "What can I do for you?" he asked politely as he clasped his hands.

"Please pack all these clothes on this rack."

The manager looked at the CEO of Feng Conglomerate and couldn't help being excited about the order. "Yes Sir!" he nodded. "Anything else?"

"No!" came the prompt reply. The gold card was handed over to the manager.

All the while Feng Xinying was a mute spectator. She didn't even dare to stop her husband because he was not looking as if he would stop. Once the card was swiped and the clothes were packed, the Manager was asked to deliver them at home.

Feng Xinying walked out quietly along with a beaming Xie Yuansheng out of the store. While walking out she said, "Can we buy clothes for me?"

Xie Yuansheng looked at her, "Yes of course darling! Where do we go for that?" He asked enthusiastically rubbing his palms together.
