The Revenge Turned To Love

Chapter 226 - A Missing Kid!

Xian and Mishi after doing dinner decided to take a stroll in the area. Xian took Mishi's hand and put it inside his coat. They both smiled seeing each other and kept walking. "Xian, today Zhao got married. I hope he will do great in his life," stated Mishi.

"I hope so. I do not think why he has closed his heart for Zhu Rui. But then I can relate to it too. Do you know who Zhao is?" Xian asked, looking at Mishi who was confused upon hearing his question. "What do you mean who is Zhao? You know that-"

Xian cut her words and said, "He hid his biggest truth from you. He is the son of Lew Shan Bin who has a chain of restaurants in entire China. Some of the world-class hotels are also owned by them."

"What? But he used to work with me in that cafe near Maximus. He always wanted to start hotels and restaurants," stated Mishi.

"Indeed he wanted to start but he could not. His father called him home. He loved you and wanted to be with you but you did not reciprocate his feelings. Zhu Rui told me this on the phone," asserted Xian. 

"Why are you telling me now?" Mishi inquired. 

"Because I know just a day ago about this. How could you tell earlier then?" Xian muttered. Mishi took out her phone from the pocket and called Zhu Rui. But she did not answer her call.

"What are you doing?" asked Xian.

"I want to tell something to Zhu Rui," answered Mishi and typed a long message to her. Xian looked at her phone and questioned, "You are telling her why you did not like him but me, why?" Mishi looked at him and replied, "Because this is one good way to tell Zhao that he should forward in his life. Zhu Rui is his wife and if she will tell this to him that would be great. Zhao had to realize that I have moved way ahead of his life and I am not the one he should hold onto," stated Mishi. 

Xian caressed her head and then cupped her face. He rubbed his nose against her and said, "My wife thinks so much of others." He then pulled back and pinched her nose lightly. Mishi smiled when a kid came there crying and grabbed Xian's leg.

"I can- cannot find my mother. Help me," said the kid while weeping. Xian quickly bent down on his knees so was Mishi. 

Xian wiped off the tears from the kid's face and told him to be quiet while Mishi was caressing his back. "What happened? Now tell me from the start," said Xian, holding both the hands of the kid.

"I was in a restaurant with mommy. She then walked out and so did I but then I lost her," said the kid while stuttering. 

"We will find your mommy then," said Mishi softly. Xian gave a nod and then carried the kid in his arms. 

"Tell us which restaurant," stated Xian. The kid used his pointer finger to show Xian the direction of the restaurant. Xian looked at Mishi and then they walked in the pointed direction. They went inside the restaurant and asked the owner about the kid's mother. "Please check the CCTVs once," requested Xian. 

"Sure, please this way," said the restaurant owner. Xian put down the kid when a staff member told Mishi to sit on a chair. Mishi thanked her and held the kid's hand and went towards a chair. 

Xian in the control room was checking the camera and saw her mother. He thanked the owner and came out. Mishi asked Xian if he found something. The kid was also looking at him with his innocent eyes. Xian bent to Mishi's ear and whispered, "they have to make a report in the police station. They will find the kid's mother." Mishi nodded and then got up from the chair. 

"Little champ, come with me," said Xian and again carried the kid in his arms. "Did you find momma?" the kid questioned. 

"Yes, she will be with you soon," said Xian with a bright smile. They left the restaurant and went to their car. Mishi held the kid in her lap. Xian called Lan Zhan and told him about the missing kid. Lan Zhan told him to come to the station. Xian nodded and cut the call. Starting the engine, he drove to the Police station.

The maid went with Xiao long to the Zhao's & Zhu Rui's bedroom. Xiao long opened the door when Zhao told them to come in. The maid pushed the food trolley in and put it near the table. The maid walked away from there while Xiao long asked Zhao if he wanted anything else he could tell him. Zhao checked the food and the wine bottle which is also placed on the food trolley. "It's enough. You can leave," ordered Zhao. 

Xiao long with his head down was ready to leave when Zhao said, "tell mom that I am not running away so there is no need to lock the room from outside." Xiao long gave a nod and left the room. Zhao went to the door and locked it from inside. He came back and picked a wine glass from the trolley and then poured the wine into the glass. He sipped it and liked the taste. By then Zhu Rui came out. She had taken a shower and was in the bathrobe. 

"Dinner is here. Let's eat then," Zhao stated. Zhu Rui went towards the trolley and looked at the dishes. 

"Sit on the bed. I will serve you," said Zhu Rui. Zhao went to the bed, sat there with a wine glass in his hand. Zhu Rui took a plate and put the food in it. She then went to Zhao and handed him the plate. He put the wine glass on the bedside table and then started eating. Zhu Rui too took food for her, sat on the chair there, and then started eating. There was complete silence between them. After they were done eating, Zao asked her if she wanted wine to which Zhu Rui agreed. 

Zhao poured a glass for her and handed her the glass. She thanked him and gulped the wine in one go. "It was not meant that way," commented Zhao and gave a smile. "And you are going to sleep in the bathrobe?" Zhao questioned.

"No," replied Zhu Rui. She opened the knot of the bathrobe which confused Zhao. But he did not say anything and looked into her eyes. Zhu Rui took off the bathrobe and her nightgown was visible now. Zhao chuckled and said, "so, you finally wore that. Earlier you were making excuses." Zhu Rui did not give any response to him and threw the bathrobe at the chair there.

"I am tired. I want to sleep," asserted Zhu Rui. 

"I have not stopped you. You can sleep. It is a king-sized bed so there is enough space," stated Zhao.

Zhu Rui got up from the chair and came towards bed. Zhao was busy drinking the wine when he saw Zhu Rui was coming towards her. He looked here and there when Zhu Rui sat beside him. Zhao moved a bit back when Zhu Rui said, "today is our wedding night and you are drinking here. It is not good." Zhao was confused seeing this behavior of Zhu Rui who then raised her pointed finger and traced Zhao's face with it. 

Both looked into each other's eyes when Zhu Rui said, "You are not feeling anything, right?" Zhao chuckled to hear that. "You are expecting me to be aroused by you?" asked Zhao with a raised brow. Zhu Rui shook her head in refusal. 

Zhu Rui smiled and said, "But your heart is saying otherwise, and why your ears are red?" Zhao immediately touched his ear and put down his hand. Zhu Rui moved a bit towards Zhao and then took the wine glass from him. She put it on the table and then grabbed Zhao's t-shirt, thus pulling him towards him. 

"Zhao, I will not initiate anything from my side. It will be you will come to me," Zhu Rui whispered against his lips. Zhao slightly laughed, lowering his head down and then raised to look at her. He then jerked off his hand from his collars. "What do you think? If you will do something like this, I will be attracted to you? No, I will not be. I told you before not to marry me but you were so adamant to be with me. Then bear with this," muttered Zhao and then laughed. 

"Mishi is happy in her life. The time you were with her you could not win her heart. As soon as she got married you started doing the things which you should not. Yesterday did you not see the love in their eyes for each other? One important thing I observed that why Mishi fall for Xian instead of you is because Xian was true in his actions with her. On the other hand, you always lied to her. You did not even disclose your identity to her. She is not the girl who fell for money but for the true care which Xian had shown to her. I wonder why she told me this instead of you," asserted Zhu Rui. 

She then got up from the bed and went to the other side of the bed. She then slid into the blankets, turning his back towards Zhao. Zhao on the other hand went into deep thought about why Mishi told those things to Zhu Rui instead of him.
