Chapter 4 - A Condition
Remembering all the painful memories of her past, her brows furrowed and her eyes were filled different emotions of regret, love, and pain.
She doesn't know why she couldn't be able to swim through when she was such a good swimmer. At that time, it was like her body was paralyzed and she couldn't move an inch as she only could see herself drowning in the darkness of cold water and sinking in the depth of darkness.
That was an artificial pond especially made as it was ordered by Xiao Li. She loves feeding fishes and wanted to walk around the pond. So She has ordered to make a pond which was large and deep.
And as always the Empress Dowager complied with her wishes.
Zhao Ming was in deep thought as she was wondering if her death was related to Xiao Li or not?
Liwei looked at Xie Ming who had a bitter and troubled expression on her face.
Seeing those emotions in her eyes, his eyes flickered but he managed to calm his expression and looked back at her with a cold expression.
He felt uncomfortable with her gaze on him as she turns her head towards him and stared at him but he tried to manage a straight face.
He was waiting for her to cry or throw things at him to show her anger, but her reply made him shocked.
She said, " We are married, right? Though you don't love me but at least you should have some conscience, shouldn't you? I just woke up from the coma and don't remember anything, even my name but the first thing you asked me is not about my condition but divorce?"
" If you want a divorce, Okay I will give it to you But I have a condition."
Liwei squinted his eyes at her as he was trying to comprehend the situation.
His assistant Gu Shao came to him as he explains the whole situation to him as he spoke in a low voice.
Gu Shao went to the doctor on Liwei's order to know more about her condition. Liwei was in an important meeting when he got a call from the hospital informing that Xie Ming has woken up.
He immediately left the meeting and went to the hospital to meet her.
After listening to Gu Shao's words, he looked at Xie Ming with a puzzled expression.
He didn't know if Xie Ming was pretending to not remember or she really forgot her memories.
He looked at her as he tried to figure out her thoughts from her extra calmed expressions. He has married her not because he loved her.
But because his Grandfather has put the condition that he can take the position as CEO only when he marries her and so he did.
He thought he may start liking her after the marriage but her extra possessive behavior created more distance between them and they fought a lot.
And he started staying at the office more to stay away from her but she started doubting him and sometimes even complains to Grandfather, that he cheats on her. This only made him away from her to the point that her suicide attempt also seemed like drama.
After thinking this, his expression became cold and as he spoke "Condition? "
"Now you're talking some sense because I was also wondering how can a woman like you can about speak about conscience."
" Hah. so tell me, how much money you want? I will give it to you. After all money and status is the only thing you wanted. Love and conscience? What kind of joke is that" coldly snorted at her.
Xie Ming stared at him with her dark brown eyes as both of their gazes met and staring into his eyes, she spoke" I will divorce you but after my memory comes back. Not before that."
" As I don't remember anything, you may force me to accept certain things that I didn't even do it and it will be at my disadvantage. Let's take a time of six months, if my memories didn't come by then and you wanted a divorce, I will divorce you, with nothing in return. Deal?"
After saying all this, she already started regretting it because she is not Xie Ming and her memories may not even return.
If she has to divorce without nothing in return than how will she survive in this world, but what can she do now, after all, it will hurt her pride as Empress, if she backed out now and the only thing she has now is her pride. freew(e)bnovel
She calms her emotions and looked into his eyes with confidence. free(w)ebnov(e)l
After seeing her reaction and her deal, he wondered, 'Did she lost her memories or her mind?'
' Is she acting or she really lost her memories'. Because after all she was his wife, only in the name though but he has some "conscience " as a man '.
After a while, he looked at her and as he raised his eyebrows in amusement as he saw her extra confident and proud expression, he said, "Deal".
