She had taken a paper and a pen and was sitting on the carpet near the bed. She had her fingers on the keyboard of her laptop where she was browsing the Internet to find the best location. Xie Yuansheng was only watching her from atop the bed. He had kept a pillow on the edge of the bed where she was and had rested his chin on it. His fingers were in her hair, on her ears, on her neck and shoulders all the time. He was hardly bothered as to what she was doing.

"Xie Yuansheng, can you help me out here?" she asked.

"We had one of the best sex of our life in office today. I am hoping that my wife would give repeat performance," he replied.

"Xie. Yuan. Sheng! I am doing something serious out here."

"Darling, why are you thinking all this? I will tell my office and they will arrange for everything. See, the problem is solved," he said and grinned.

Feng Xinying flicked his forehead and made a grumpy face. She continued conducting her research. "Have you told about this to auntie?" she asked on an afterthought.

"No, I haven't met her. She's been going out of station very frequently these days and I want to ask her about it. Although I am not the types who interfere in what she does, but her frequent travel is worrying me now," replied Xie Yuansheng looking pensive.

"Do you know where she goes? Any particular place?"

"No, I don't know. I don't like keeping tab on her."

"But we need to tell this to her."

"Of course we will tell about it. It's just that I need to see her face to face. I will call her tomorrow. It is late tonight," said Xie Yuansheng and again turned his attention on her.

"What would you want as a gift Xinying?"

"Moon and the stars," she replied instantly.

Xie Yuansheng gulped. His wife's expectations were large than his pocket. "Anything lesser?" he asked meekly in order to meet his pocket.

"Nothing less Xie Yuansheng. If you feel you cannot afford me, then I am sorry we are no match!" she made her stance clear.

"But- but we love each other," he flipped.

"Love is different and gifts are different. I need the moon and the stars." Feng Xinying said that casually and went back to her research.

Poor Xie Yuansheng's mind was tossed into thinking about an appropriate gift. He started feeling weird that his wife might run away from the venue if didn't gift her the world!

An hour later of brainstorming, Xie Yuansheng exclaimed, "Yes! I know what to give you." He jumped out of bed. When he looked at her, he saw that she had already slept off. She was leaning against the bed and her head was hanging low. The pen that she held in her hand had made several marks on her face. She looked adorable. He smiled and stroked her cheeks. Then he took the pen from her hand. He lied beside her on the carpet and drew art on her face. Satisfied at his work, he lifted her and placed her on the mattress. As soon as he covered her with blanker, Feng Xinying found her way to his chest and climbed him.

Next morning one could hear a loud shriek from the bathroom.

Feng Xinying had woken up slightly late. She saw that Xie Yuansheng wasn't there in the room. Lazily, she walked to the bathroom to get ready and when she looked at herself in the mirror, she found that her face was looking feline. Someone had drawn moustaches and friskers on her. Angry, she ran out of the room and went downstairs. She straightaway went to the dining room and said, "Xie Yuansheng!"

Everyone out there looked at her with shock – the servants, the chefs, Lu Boyun, and Xie Weihui. Xie Yuansheng had erupted into loud laughter.

When Feng Xinying realized that Xie Weihui was also there, she greeted her with a smile. Xie Weihui greeted her back only to join Xie Yuansheng in his laughter. Feng Xinying gritted her teeth and turned around to clear her face.

When she came downstairs, she found that Xie Yuansheng had finished eating the breakfast and he was talking to Xie Weihui.

"Mother, you have to be present there when we make the announcement."

"I know Yuansheng but this trip is urgent. There is something very important that has come up," she replied. "However, don't worry, I will try my best to be there."

"Where are you going?" he asked irritated as hell.

Feng Xinying went to have her breakfast. She heard her saying, "To a village…"

"What village?" Xie Yuansheng was surprised.

Xei Weihui ignored his question and asked "What about Xie Shengjun? Where is he nowadays?"

Feng Xinying was reminded of Keira. She took her phone out and dialed Keira's number. There was no response.

Chang Ling woke up with a start. She looked at the hospital room around her and got up from the bed to sit down. Lim De Zi was ecstatic. "Chang Ling, my love! How are you feeling? Oh my God!" he got up from his chair and embraced her. "I love you darling and now I will take care of you. Don't every leave me again," he said as he stroked her back gently and cried.
