Chapter 59 - Let's Go Greet Him

(Present)

Li Bingbing rested her head on Xia Meilin's shoulder while looking at the people from the entrance of the balcony. It was until she saw someone which made her straightened her back. "He has arrived."

"Yeah. Brother will definitely attend this kind of event." Xia Meilin took a quick glance at her to check her reaction.

"He still looked as handsome as ever. I can't wait to get my hands on him again." Li Bingbing held Xia Meilin's arm and grinned. "Let's go greet him."

Xia Sinian was speaking to some of his friends and he didn't bring a date along. He would always attend such events alone.

Li Bingbing felt breathless when she finally saw him again. She really missed him so much that she wanted to run to him and hug him but she tried her best to control herself from doing that. Just by seeing Xia Sinian, her thoughts about other things left.

She detected no arrogance in his demeanor as he radiated an air of quiet confidence. He had tousled dark brown short hair. He had dark eyes that make her weak at the knees His face was strong and defined. He had dark eyebrows, which sloped downwards in a serious expression. All eyes must have at one time or another strayed to him. The three-b.u.t.ton Brioni suit was tailored to precisely match the contours of his body, giving him a lithesome appearance; yet there was nothing effeminate in his bearing.

"Sinian-ge."

Hearing his sister's voice, Xia Sinian turned. A smile crept up his face as he saw his sister walking towards him, "Xiao Mei-" He paused when he noticed the woman who was with his sister, it was none other than his ex-girlfriend, Li Bingbing.

He never thought that he would be face to face with her again after five years of absence. She looked so beautiful as ever as if she didn't age.

Li Bingbing smiled at him, giving her best smile towards him. "Why h.e.l.lo there, Mr. Xia."

There was no hint of gentleness in Xia Sinian's face. Just like the day they broke up, it was void of emotions. He nodded his head at her as an acknowledgment before he turned to his sister. "How's Mello?"

Xia Meilin blinked a few times. The last time they met, her brother was not fond of Little Melon but this time, he was asking about him.

Li Bingbing clenched her fists as she stared at Xia Sinian, he was still avoiding her.

"He entered preschool this week." Xia Meilin took a glance at Li Bingbing then back to her brother. Not wanting to come in between them, she found an excuse to leave, "I will go check on my husband."

Escaping the awkward atmosphere between them, she headed to where Lu Yifeng was. Xia Meilin held on his arm and greeted the men that were with him.

Meanwhile, Li Bingbing and Xia Sinian ended up staring at each other. "Looks like you're doing well."

Xia Sinian turned and looked at the musicians instead. "Hm."

Neither of them talked after that, they both stood there until Li Bingbing decided to break the choking silence between them.

"Have you found yourself a girl?"

"Yes."

She furrowed her brows. "Yes? Then where is she?"

Why did she not know about this? She had been updated with the News concerning Xia Sinian but she has never heard of him getting married.

"At home. Taking care of the baby." When he took a gla.s.s of wine from the waiter, Li Bingbing noticed a silver ring on his ring finger.

Seeing this was like a knife that stabbed her heart. "You're married? Why didn't I hear it from anyone?"

"What right do you have to know?" With that, he turned away and left her alone.

He was lying... He was lying, right? Li Bingbing refused to believe that he was married. How could he? She has waited for him all this time and yet... why? Why? Why?

Her eyes became misty and she could feel her tears on the verge of falling. She felt like she was being suffocated because of the tightness of her chest.

She looked around for him, wanting to ask him more questions but she never saw Xia Sinian's shadow around the hall anymore, it was as if he disappeared into thin air.

She turned and hurriedly went to the women's restroom. Despite her strong facade, Li Bingbing's feelings were always so sensitive when it came to the person she loved and cared.

Lu Xian Yu noticed Li Bingbing leaving in a hurry. When he sensed that something wrong with her, he excused himself from the girls he was chatting with before he followed her.

There was no one inside the women's restroom but he could hear the sound of sobbing from the last cubicle.

When he heard the cries coming from inside, he felt his body became heavy. He was really hoping that the woman inside wasn't Li Bingbing.

He tried to open it but it was locked so he knocked instead, "Bingbing, is that you?"

After he asked that question, it became quiet from the other side.

Lu Xian Yu waited for an answer but he didn't have to get any. He was about to knock again but before his fist can touch the surface of the door, it opened and Li Bingbing jumped into his arms.
