The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

(AFTER the engagement ceremony...)

Zhenyi was leaning against her car in the parking lot. Her eyes were covered with large black sunglasses. Here, she was waiting for Ming Jia. From the distance, she saw Xiuying grimacing while looking at her cellphone. 

  'My new sister-in-law needs time to absorb that she is indeed engaged to my brother...tsk tsk...I pity her. The pretty flower will wither in Ryuu's evergreen garden if she doesn't play her cards right. You're on your own MING XIU YING.' 

A moment later Ming Jia came. 

"Zhenyi!" She whisper-shouted. 

Zhenyi removed her sunglasses in order to meet her godmother's eyes, but as was removing her sunglasses, her eyes first met with Ming Xiuying who froze in shock and Zhenyi had no idea why and neither did she wished to know. Removing her eyes from Xiuying, she turned to Ming Jia who apparently had sneaked on her husband. 

No offense to Ming Jia but today, she indeed looked like she was hiding something or from someone. 

Not paying attention to Ming Jia's sneaky antics, Zhenyi unlocked the back door of the car as she took out the wooden box which had put her in an even greater dilemma than Ryuu's wedding, and handed it to its new owner. 

"Finally," Ming Jia whispered to herself. "Ah-Shaan, rest in peace. This time, I won't let anyone harm your family." 

Her thoughts were cut off when she heard what Zhenyi said next. 

"Godma, who is that woman?" 

"Woman?" Ming Jia frowned."Which woman are you talking about?" 

Zhenyi chuckled while shaking her head. "Green eyes. Celestial nose. Cleft chin---" 

Ming Jia didn't let her finish as she spoke in a cold voice," Zhenyi, we must not talk about things that do not relate to us. I asked you for this box not to unbury the buried skeleton but to bury them forever." She paused and glanced at Zhenyi again. "Remember Zhenyi, you never saw this box. You never went to Long Ah-Shaan's villa. You don't know who Long Ah-Shaan is. And you never gave this box to me." 

"But Godma--" 

"It's for your own good, sweet child," Ming Jia said in a gentle yet firm voice. "It's for your husband's wellbeing as well. You finally found a person you care for. Why are you hellbent on messing up your happy marital life?" 

Zhenyi was at a loss for words. 

"Thank you, child. Forget about it. Please." 

Zhenyi agreed….at least for now. 

  ***

As Zhenyi was about to enter the Ming mansion, she saw Ming Xiuying falling. She acted on her reflexes and caught her by the shoulder. 

"Careful!" Zhenyi shouted. 

Ming Xiuying blinked her eyes and realized that she was about to faint. It was because she hadn't had a real meal for the last few days. Obviously, she would faint if she didn't eat well. 

Zhenyi helped her to sit on the bench in the garden which was just a little away from the entrance door. 

"Thank you," Ming Xiuying whispered as she handed the water bottle back to Zhenyi. She had been staring at her eyes repeatedly. Not because she found them fascinating but she remembered what that weird woman on the cruise ship told her. 

'Two women. One with the most unusual eyes would either be my foe or friend. And the other will most certainly end up being my greatest enemy. Not that I lack them.' 

"Does Song Yunxi not feed you well?" Zhenyi directly asked her. 

"Excuse me?" Ming Xiuying frowned. 

"You look malnourished. It seems that you've not eaten for days." 

Xiuying pressed her lips in a thin line. 

"Why are you doing this?" Zhenyi asked her after a while. 

Xiuying frowned again. "Excuse me?" 

Zhenyi shook her head at her. 'She is too slow.' 

"Why are you marrying Ryuu, Xiuying?" Zhenyi asked. 

Xiuying just stared at her. She opened her mouth to say something but closed as no words managed to form to utter. She pondered for a while only to say," Who is Ryuu?" 

Zhenyi was rendered speechless mercilessly. 

She was at a loss for words. However, she still said, "The man you are engaged to." 

"Oh!"

For a while, Xiuying was lost in a daze, and when she came out of her long-lasting daze. She turned to find Zhenyi studying her. 

"What does my marriage with Lord Ryuu have to do with you?" Xiuying questioned her. "He is nothing to you, except for the fact that he is chosen by your late mother to head the clan. I'm marrying him ok my own will. No one forced me, Miss Zhenyi, if it's that's what you're meaning to ask me." 

"For a girl who doesn't know the name of the man she will be marrying in a few days, you sure know a lot about him." 

"Are you always so bitter and cruel?" Xiuyung asked her after taking a deep breath. 

"If you can't take my bitter and cruel words directly, are you sure you will be able to take Ryuu's honey-dipped vicious words?" Zhenyi asked her instead. 

"It has nothing to do with you," Xiuying said immediately. 

Zhenyi laughed heartily at her sharp retort. "You will do, Xiuying. You will do." 

Xiuying looked pleasantly surprised by that. "You were testing me?" 

Zhenyi nodded. "A pushover can't stand beside Ryuu. He doesn't need someone by his side who he needs to protect all the time."

Xiuying nodded. "I can understand…" 

"Never betray him, Xiuying." Zhenyi's light gaze turned something ferocious. "Even if you do, you won't survive to betray him." 

Xiuying looked deep into her eyes and said," I heard that the Tang family member protects their own. They won't let someone harm them. Are you sure you can touch me, Zhenyi? I don't know what you are to Ryuu and neither did I care because it's me marrying him after few days, not you." 

Zhenyi chucked at her cuteness. "Indeed. It's you who is marrying him not me." She raised her left hand and let Xiuying study it. She gave what seemed like a genuine smile. "I'm happily married and to my Jie. So you need not worry about me being a love rival." The smile disappeared from her face. "However, I was not testing you when I said not to betray my brother Xiuying. He may not touch you for betraying him but trust me, I won't leave you. I'm not a Tang, Xiuying, so this rule doesn't apply to me. I'm a Xin thorough and thorough. I can still kill you, and not one will ask me a single question." 

Xiuying didn't show her that she was afraid after listening to what Zhenyi said. She refused to let Zhenyi's words affect her. She was not a pushover anymore. A new Xiuying was born when Huo Yusheng broke the previous Xiuying completely. 

She was ready to be the future mistress of the Tang family. She would be Lord Ryuu's wife and no one could change it. 

"Take care of yourself, Xiuying because you have many real rivals to be wary of. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. Plus, I'm not the only danger to you. Your life fell in danger the moment you signed the marriage contract. There are many women who are eyeing your position as the future mistress of the Tang household. Trust me, when I say your life is in danger, I mean it. So, what a snake couldn't kill you? Still, a drop of real poison can end your life."
