Handsome CEO'S Bewitching Wife ( Part : 1)

Chapter 8 - I want to try my hand in acting

Eyes of Xin Mei were completely swollen when she woke up the next morning. He Lin and Xin Jin both became worried upon seeing her red eyes.

"What happened Mei? Were you crying last night?"

"Again a bad dream, mother." Xin Mei lied without any hitch.

"But I didn't hear you crying last night. You were sleeping quite calmly." Xin Yan who was standing behind his parents questioned his sister with a doubt.

Last night, when he arrived in the room, he was shocked to see his sister fast asleep. From the time she was up from coma, his sister rarely fell asleep during the night.

"Because you were sleeping without any care for this world," Xin Mei lied again. "I shouted your name but you didn't even move."

Xin Yan looked at his sister with suspicious but he didn't say a word. Maybe he was suspicious without any use. Maybe he really was sound asleep which was not impossible seeing his sleeping pattern from last few weeks.

"Does my princess want to do something after getting discharged from the hospital?" Xin Jin asked in a coaxing manner. He as a father was trying to improve the mood of his daughter who is suffering from the nightmares.

"A lot of things but before that, I want to get discharged. I am fed up with the smell of hospital." Xin Mei made a yuck face. She felt glad that her father was diverting her attention from the depressing topic.

"Don't worry sister. I talked with the doctor and he said that by day after tomorrow you will get discharged."

"Really?"

"Really really." Xin Yan grinned. He felt happy upon seeing his sister smile. Only he knew how much he loved his sister. If only he could see her smiling face every second of the day.

The family of four talked for some time. They all planned what they were going to do the same weekend after the discharge of Xin Mie.

After a long time, Xin Jin and Xin Yan went to the office and He Lin went home for some rest. After they left, Xin Mei got some time for herself to think how big fool she was for the last few years.

"How can I be such a fool? Why wasn't I able to see the facade of Zhou Mingyu and Qian Fan? How I nearly destroyed my life for both of them?" There were a lot of questions which were running in the mind of Xin Mie.

It was in the evening that Gu Nan came to meet her that Xin Mei came out from her self-loathing. She loathed herself for being so naive and foolish.

"What happened Meimei? It looks like you aren't happy upon seeing me."

"It's nothing like this NanNan. I was thinking something deep. Nothing more."

"Ok." Gu Nan looked at her with suspicious before shrugging her shoulders off. She then placed a Tiffin box on the lap of Xin Mei.

"You are lucky Meimei. Mother specially cooked your favourites for you. She had warned me to not even taste the dish. Each and every bite in the Tiffin is only for your stomach."

Upon hearing Gu Nan, Xin Mei chuckled. She excitedly opened the Tiffin box. A smile appeared on her lips when she inhaled the familiar aroma. She had badly missed the dish from the hands of Mrs. Gu.

"Say my thanks to aunty, NanNan," Xin Mei said before savouring the dish.

Both Xin Mei and Gu Nan talked for a long time where Gu Nan talked about her latest expedition.

"NanNan, can I ask for a favour from you?"

"Do you really need to ask this? You know this Gu Nan can do anything for you. You only have to ask." Gu Nan glared at her friend. "Now speak."
