"As for the other option, if possible I don't want Little Tiger to choose between his parents but having both the parents together seems impossible for the boy as we are completely different to fit together. So, let's just try our best to help Little Tiger before we made him choose."

" And secondly, about the debt, please add all my living and medical expenses into the amount of the bill and I promise I'll make sure to pay you back with the interest rate."

" Third, about doing drugs outside or inside the house, let me a.s.sured you, what I did in the past, I don't intend to repeat it again. whether it's love or drugs. Believe it or not, I don't care."

"For you, only Little Tiger's health and his social improvement mattered so does for me. I also want him to be like other kids, happy and comfortable. So, forget about what mistakes I did in the past and let's focus on Little Tiger's issues. We can again, talk about this of custody after Little Tiger gets better and more stable. "

"As much as Little Tiger needs you he also needs his mother. I hope you'll cooperate and help me. And it's just a matter of time, we have to bear with each other. Let's not bind each other by force." after saying this slowly, Li Na stood up from her chair and taking a deep breath she said lastly.

"When you returned tomorrow, I hope you will take me with you to meet Little Tiger." She turned around to walk out of the study room. If she stayed any longer she'll collapse and Lu Jianjun will again have to help her.

Lu Jianjun was in dazed looking at her back walking away from him, his eyes dilated when she stopped in her track and looked over her shoulder and said politely. " Mr. Lu! Our hearts are not involved with each other and it's only reasonable if we work together without hurting our feels. I'll respect you if you respect me. There's no other way."

She does change her shades artistically like a sun paints sky before setting or rising on the horizon which does comply one to stop and take a look at her.

Just as she reached the door, she heard Lu Jianjun's low voice, "Please, switch off the light." Even after knowing he can switch it off manually, he asked her to do so, she thought maybe he considering her suggestion for them to work together. Li Na paused and raised her left hand to turned off the sitch near the door before left the room silently and hit the bed.

Sitting inside the darkroom, Lu Jianjun's chair swirled to side as he looks out of the window behind him into the night sky, Li Na's words reverberating in his mind distorting his perception.

In the middle of the night, the study was full of smoke hiding the man's exquisite features was just like the white clouds in the night sky hiding the enchanting moon. The man seemed calm and composed on the surface like a silent ocean but somewhere deep inside the ocean, there was a brewing storm. It started with a ripple but slowly turning into a blunder as if someone was shaking his grounds which cannot be reached. This adventure wasn't unusual to him but this time this wave bought a touch of fear and danger slithering nearby.

Since the moment he had seen this girl, he felt something was distinctive yet familiar about her. He doesn't know why but intuitively he always feels like retreating himself as if he will regret getting too close or pus.h.i.+ng her too far. As if he will lose something either way without a choice.

Retreating yet extending a hand towards her whether saving her from a fall when she whirled in the rain or keeping her getting burn as he felt like she was a porcelain doll not worth to be melted or wasted.

In fact, she was breaking his perspicacity towards her. The image of her he had was ruined image but now he felt like there's more behind that reflector gla.s.s as he can hear that she was tapping on it but all he can see is the image of her which only brings hostility towards her.

Even after a long while, Lu Jianjun sat there gazing at the silver lining clouds. Loosely held the cigarette burning between his slender finger.

Although he has long lost his moon to get a glimpse of that mesmerizing face, he stared at the light lingering clouded sky knowing that the moon was hiding behind. It's this same strange feeling of inquest and hope whenever he sat before this girl. Why is he giving her so much importance?

Leaning on the chair, Lu Jianjun closed his eyes as he inhaled the mild smog of cigarettes mixed in the air surrounding him. Although he usually avoids remembering her face yet she was imprinted in his mind and heart in such a way that no matter how many years pa.s.sed, it never fades its shade or feel. He doesn't know why he's missing her so much, but it's making him anxious now. She wasn't just a picture but a part of his soul that never left him. The memories of her from years ago resurfaced with the feelings he had when she was in front of him. Some sweet than honey and some bitter than poison.

People said," the one who falls in love first and loves the other one more is the loser.' but he didn't know before her that after been a loser comes with a penalty price that was too high.

Momentarily, a thought flashed into his mind as his eyes flew open and turned cold, his aura became frosty. A strong impulse to see her right now aroused instantly, dragging him into a dispute. It was a choice between life and death which entirely depends on her. His stability depends on her wellness whereas his instability on her illness. Not even in his wildest dreams, he could imagine her perishes.

Lu Jianjun's eyes darkened as he clenched his fist whereas the cigarette turns to dust with the cracking of his knuckles as his whole body tensed up to suppress this sudden urge. In the midst of calming the swell of pa.s.sion, he didn't even sense the burning tip of the cigarette he just crushed.

Through all these years it wasn't the first time he was dangling between his past and future but a few events happening around tempting him to go look for her once again. A past where he would have lost her once and for all.

Despite giving up on her once, he couldn't restrain but turn back, which only spread bitterness through his heart. And a long future without her where he can live in a little peace with only Little Tiger.

Lu Jianjun lowered his lashes, gradually restraining his impulsiveness, standing up he left the study and his cellphone on the table.

Just as he slammed the door, his mobile screen lit on flas.h.i.+ng an incoming message. Something he was waiting to know about for the past month was finally publicized. Although it was tomorrows flas.h.i.+ng news headline, creating havoc into the business world as well as the gossip circle of girls and bend boys.
