Chapter 4 - Pregnancy

Xiao li was almost moved to tears by his words. She smiled and placed her head on his chest and he patted her head like a kitten.

The question is, will he forgive her if he heard what she did?

Few days later.

The distinguished guests in their fanciest attire gathered on the top floor of a five-star hotel.

This was the wedding of Xiao li, the heiress of the Xiao family in G city and Liu wei, the third young master of the Liu family. Both of them are famous figures and the guests arrived early and waited for the arrival of the bride.

Just then, the door opened and a beautiful lady who wore a white light layer of tulle over frosted Chantilly lace creating a radiant, subtle sparkle pearl and crystal beaded, embroidered applique's cascade wedding gown walked in.

Her hair was mercury-red and it tumbled over her shoulders. Her crescent shaped eyebrows inclined slightly and her languid eyelashes of velvet-black blinked once slowly.

Her oxbow lips positively drooled with goodness. Her delicate hands held the wedding bouquet as she walked down the aisle.

For Liu Wei, seeing his bride glide down the aisle towards him brings the anxious waiting to an end.

His bride is here.

For Xiao li, it was the moment in the spotlight that she had dreamed of for the last few months and the first time most people would be seeing her dress.

Xiao Li stood in front of Liu Wei who had a white suit on. He held out his hand and the both of them looked at the officiant. After exchanging rings, the officiant said, "Well, our prince may kiss his Princess Bride and we shall leave this beautiful moment behind"

Xiao Li closed her eyes and leaned forward to kiss Liu wei.

But suddenly, the door pushed open and a man came in with a group of men.

A cold roar of the wind flowed in. 

The man was dressed in a pair of pants with a cream expensive shirt. His fair skin was spot free. He had dark brown hair, pink thin lips, and deep blue eyes.

He had a face that would stop you in your tracks.

He was handsome from the depth of his eyes to the gentle expression he had on his face.

Everyone turned to look at this man.

Xiao Li tilted her head to take a good look at this man. She was familiar with this aloof man.

Xiao li's eyes grew wide in shock when she got a proper look at his face. She felt her breath quicken, her heartbeat accelerate and crescendo in her ears to an overpowering drone. Her body stiffened with her hands on both sides of her body tightly clenched into fists.

This man was none other than the stranger she slept with a few weeks ago.

What is he doing here?

Oh no! Why is he here? Why is it on her wedding day?

Xiao li was alarmed by his forceful strides towards her and quickly hid behind Liu wei.

Liu Wei, who did not understand why she was scared, spread his hands out as if he was protecting her from a demon. His face darkened when he saw this man coming towards his beloved.

Wait! Is this not Jingyi Wang?

Liu Wei was surprised when he saw that it was Jingyi Wang. Why is he here? but he was not invited.

The guests were also surprised to see him. 

Jingyi Wang, a handsome man of 26 years, ruled the business world with just the tip of his finger and he was the most powerful in G City. Everyone feared him while every girl's dream was to become his girlfriend.

He was the real business wizard.

It took him only three years to get his company listed after he graduated from the University. Since then, Jingyi Wang has made his company one of the world's largest group companies through a series of acquisitions.

In recent years, his momentum had become more and more fierce. This year, he expanded his business to Europe. Recently, he had just returned from London. It was said that the company would start a multi-billion dollar project there.

Finally, he stood in front of Liu wei.

Liu Wei with a smile on his face greeted Jingyi Wang. "Young master Jingyi Wang, why are you here? You didn't tell us that you are coming. We would have arranged a special seat for you"

Everyone respected Jingyi Wang. Not only because he was rich and powerful, but because he controlled the business world.

Jingyi Wang stared at Xiao li who was behind liu wei, completely ignoring Liu wei's question.

His eyes became cold when he saw how Liu Wei protected Xiao li. 

"Xiao li, are you trying to run away without even taking responsibility for what you did?" His cold, deep voice sent shivers through her. Fear clutched at her heart with her cold fingers still clenched into fists.

Liu Wei was surprised. "So you guys know each other?" he looked over his shoulder and asked.

Xiao li began to stutter. "I-I... I don't know him" She shook her head as she said so.

Jingyi Wang's face darkened.

What did she mean by she doesn't know him?

Xiao Li was scared. She knew that if Jingyi Wang told the truth to everyone, her life would be ruined.

What would society say when they heard that she slept with this stranger?

She wished the earth would open up to swallow her right now.

Jingyi Wang smiled coldly. "Are you pretending not to know me? Have you forgotten that you ran into my room a few weeks ago begging me to sleep with you?" he teased.

Boom! The secret had been revealed.

Everyone gasped in shock when they heard what he said.

The reporters in the hall all lifted their cameras and started shooting.

Liu Wei couldn't believe what he had heard. His expression was so dark and terrifying as he glared at her maliciously.

"Is it true?"

"I-I-I..." Tears of anger and shame burned her eyes as she gazed up at him. "I am so sorry, Liu wei. I am so sorry for betraying you"

She moved toward him to hold his hand, but he evaded her touch and stepped backwards. "Don't come near me" 

Liu Wei was so angry that he was almost spitting in rage. He liked her so much and cherished her just like a fiance should do, but what he could not believe was that she could betray him in such a way that she did not cherish herself and she even slept with another man after pretending to be pure and innocent.

"Oh my! Who would have thought that Xiao li was like this. Everyone thought she was pure and innocent" said one woman.

"I just wasted my time coming to this wedding. So despicable"

"I can't believe this. We truly idolize her, but after what I have heard, she is nothing, but garbage. A slut!"

Xiao li's small face became red with humiliation and her chest violently moved up and down. Her ears were hearing all kinds of insults.

She looked at Liu Wei's face which was pale. He was choked with complex emotions; Anger, sadness and more. He stepped forward and held her narrow and thin shoulder. He looked into her eyes and said, "Lili, I believe you as long as you say this is not the truth"

The reporters rushed to the front of the crowd with their cameras and snapped pictures of Xiao li wildly.

Yu yan stood up in the crowd and wanted to rush to her daughter, but she was held back and her mouth was covered by someone.

"Liu wei..." Xiao li called as pain flashed through her eyes.

Ruthlessness flashed through Liu Wei's eyes and the gentleness that was there disappeared instantly. He then composed himself to face the lights of the media and said, "I am so sorry, I'm afraid I cannot pursue the relationship with Xiao li and I am also very sorry for everyone having their time wasted. Today's events are canceled"

Xiao li's eyes grew wide in shock and disbelief.

Liu Wei turned to leave, but Xiao Li pulled him back. "Liu wei, please, don't do this to me. What happened between the both of us was only a mistake. I was drunk that night. I am sorry"

Liu Wei looked at her. "I'm sorry. Who knows whether you are pregnant. I don't want to be a father to another person's child" He said and removed her hand, and walked out of the hotel.

Pregnant?

It was so shameless for her to give up such a good man and have affairs with another man.

Xiao li fell on her knees; she seemed to be lifeless.

How could it be? 

Who is this strange man?

Why did he ruin her life like this?

Tears blurred Xiao li's sight and her body turned ice-cold.

Just then, she felt a strong hand grab her thin wrist. She raised her head only to see this strange man. Anger heating her blood.

"Let go of me" She tried to remove her hand, but he tightened his grip.

He pulled her up to her feet and pulled her along with him.

"You are coming with me"
