"We can't do that Xinyu. We can never have the luxury of being together publicly. You will have to marry someone else. I am not entitled to be your wife in this life. But I promise that I will be your wife in the next life… There are things we can't mess up with… Let's just be lovers… I won't be able to tell you the reason, but trust me I am more pained by this fact than I can express… I will love you always… We just can't be husband and wife…" She said with tears flowing out. Her eyes became puffy and she started sniffling.

Yang Xinyu listened to her. Now he knew why Wu Lina used to cry every time he made love to her. She was scared of breaching the contract - a contract that was set to keep them apart for the lifetime. He felt anguished. He was agonized over the fact that he misunderstood her and she suffered alone in this desolate state. Her despair and misery must have been an everyday torture. He wanted to wipe her tears.

They say ignorance is bliss. In his case ignorance of this contract was not bliss, it was a precursor to a pile of misunderstandings between him and Wu Lina.

Yang Xinyu listened to her quietly. He kept his cup on the bedside table and motioned her to come to him. Wu Lina came and sat near him, but he pulled her in his lap and hugged her tightly.

He knew why she was crying. He patted her back to pacify her. "Don't cry Lina… We will face this together… If I can't marry you, I won't marry anyone else… We will stay beside each other, just loving and being in each other's company… We will grow old together and that's a promise…"

Yang Xinyu couldn't think of a life without Wu Lina. It wasn't an option for him. He yearned for her. Every time he didn't see her, he would become anxious and every time he saw her he became excited. His world revolved around this tiny twenty-two year beautiful girl who was his sunshine…

Now that he thinks about it, with Ying Yue it was different. Ying Yue was in her late twenties but her intelligence and maturity level could never match Wu Lina's.

Wu Lina was not only a patient girl she knew how to conduct herself in the most difficult of the situations. Life had thrown so many hardships towards her, but she fought with them, unfazed, to reach her goals. He knew she was loyal to him. She hadn't had any other person in her life in place of Yang Xinyu.

He assured her wiping her tears. "Your cheeks are so beautiful. Don't make them look ugly with your tears," he joked.

To cheer her mood, he suggested that they go out for lunch and then visit the most popular park of City B followed by a movie.

Wu Lina nodded smiling first and then grinning from ear to ear when she heard that they would watch a movie together. It had been ages since she had gone out to have fun. She chuckled like a teenage girl who was about to go on a date!

In her excitement she unabashedly kissed him taking a large bite of his sweet lips inside her mouth. His member woke up!

How could Yang Xinyu leave this opportunity? He held her tightly, pushed her on the bed and rolled on her pressing her in the mattress, grinding his erection on her lower region.

He removed her night suit. Wu Lina was taken aback. "No!" She cried.

But her protests were once again muffled by Yang Xinyu's hard kiss. He heard her speaking something, making noises in his mouth so he forced his tongue inside her mouth and grabbed her tongue licking it and sucking it. He continued his ministrations until she stopped making noise. Slowly he took his finger down and pushed it inside to check if she was ready. She bucked and he pushed another finger in her. He went down to her neck licking and sucking it.

He went down further to her beautiful breasts and flicked the nipples with his tongue, while continuing to slide his fingers in and out. He felt her muscles tightening inside her as she came.

He wanted to see and feel her wetness. He went lower to kiss her there. He dipped his nose inside the lips below to smell her female scent and then started sucking them. He loved being there. He didn't want to come out of that place, but his erection was growing harder. He held it in his hands, positioned himself between her legs and with one hard move he entered her making her wince.

The morning session got over soon and both of them were left panting and sweating!

Wu Lina got up to take a bath and get ready leaving Yang Xinyu on the bed with a stupid smile.

***

Yang Xinyu's thoughts went back to the time when he was admitted in the hospital.

He remembered that one of the days when he was in the hospital and she had gone to attend her computer classes during the weekend, he had waited for her for the entire Sunday making it one of the worst days after Ying Yue had left him. He had become nervous. He thought that Wu Lina might never come back again. He had called her thirty times but she didn't pick his call. He felt bitter and anxious. By six in the evening his anxiety turned into panic and he strode out of his room wearing slippers and a thin jacket. As if the feet had developed their own brain, they carried him to the nurses' quarters. He walked into the lift and pressed the button of the floor where Wu Lina lived.

Upon reaching her quarters he pressed the bell but no one answered. He waited for a while. He slouched against the wall and slowly sunk to the floor with his back resting against the wall. He was having a heavy heart. Wait for her turned into a torment.

Every time anyone came he would look up expectantly. The nurse who lived across came out of her quarters. She was shocked to see a man slouching in front of Wu Lina's apartment. She gave him pathetic stare. She scrutinized him and then closed her door with a loud bang before leaving.

Finally Wu Lina arrived at eight. She was surprised to see Yang Xinyu. He was looking disheveled, bleary and pained.

"CEO Yang Xinyu! What are you doing here?" She asked flustered by his sloppy looks and sudden appearance. She was scared that if any hospital staff will report this matter to high authorities, things might get messy.
