I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 98

Chapter 98: A meal?
*vroom* Sitting inside the Rolls Royce, Zhao Suyin glanced outside through the window a sigh leaving her lips “It’s been a while since I traveled out quite far…”

Zhao Ying who was sitting in the front seat beside Zhao Tian spoke “Then we can go out for a family trip when we have time.”

Hearing this, Zhao Suyin glimpsed at Zhao Tian “What do you say, Tian’er.” Zhao Tian gave a nod “I don’t mind…”

Zhao Ying jumped in her seat “Ok! Then its settled… we can go to the beach when we have time.”

Zhao Suyin’s frowned her eyebrows “Don’t decide things on your own Ying’er… ask if Tian’er is willing.”

“Huh? Tian’er you don’t like it.”

Zhao Tian glanced back at his Mom “It’s okay I think…”

…

The Roles Royce quickly pulled up to a mansion and the three of them stepped outside the car. Looking at the mansion, a smile appeared on Zhao Suyin’s lips “It looks great, Tian’er.”

Zhao Suyin and Zhao Ying entered the mansion first, their curious eyes glancing around the living room as they began to explore their new home.

*ring* At this time, Zhao Tian’s mobile rang and he took his mobile from his pocket. He attended the call and spoke “Mei Xiu?”

Mei Xiu on the other end of the call spoke “Zhao Tian, you are coming today right?” she asked and Zhao Tian could hear the tinge of excitement in her voice.

A wry smile appeared on his lips “Uh, Mei Xiu… I couldn’t accompany you for Lunch today, maybe another day.”

“Huh? B-But you said that yesterday that you would come tomorrow.” Mei Xiu hurriedly spoke and a sigh escaped Zhao Tian’s eyes “Well, last night my plans changed and I can’t come today.”

“I-I see, don’t worry… if you are busy. But don’t forget to come to the event 2 days later, okay?” Mei Xiu spoke and Zhao Tian nodded his head “Ok!”

Mei Xiu retracted the mobile from her ear and glanced at the dinner table filled with delicious foods that she had prepared with her own hands for Zhao Tian. Her eyes trembled as a wave of sadness filled her heart and she bit her lips I frustration.

Li Qianzhi who was sitting on the couch turned her head to look at Mei Xiu “Xiu’er, when is Tian coming.”

Mei Xiu walked to her room “He is not coming!” *thud* she slammed the door to her room before entering.

Li Qianzhi was startled by the sudden noise “W-What happened? Is she mad?”

…

As Zhao Tian canceled the call a sigh left his lips. He kind of felt bad for rejecting her as he promised her yesterday that he would come and eat with her and he clearly felt the excitement in her voice vanishing.

‘Urgh! These women are making my life hard…’

He entered the mansion “Ying’er…”

…

*thud* “That guy!” Mei Xiu yelled in frustration as she punched her pillow. “That idiot! Ahhhhh….” She couldn’t contain her anger as she continued to pummel the pillow venting her frustration on the pillow. *baam* *baam* *baam*

She grabbed the pillow in her hands stretching it “If you knew that you wouldn’t come yesterday night. Why didn’t you say that? Do you know how hard I worked to cook all that food? Do you know?”

“Am I an idiot? huh? Why you damn bastard…” she beat the pillow on the bed. “Ah!! you! you! you!” with each yell, she continued slamming the pillow.

After a while of venting her frustration, “Haah, Haah!” Me Xiu breathed heavily her chest rising up and down as she saw the pillow which was shredded to pieces.

“Urgh! I am losing my energy because of him…” With a heavy sigh, she made her way off the bed and headed towards the bathroom. Once there, she turned on the faucet and washed her face. *fwishh*

After washing her face, she took the towel to brush her face and she saw herself in the mirror. Her lips twitched again thinking about Zhao Tian “Uhhhhhh!”

She walked out of the bathroom and jumped on top of her bed “Hmph.. I am gonna sleep, so I can keep him away from my thoughts!” she huffed.

As she closed her eyes to sleep “It’s good…” a soft mutter reached her ears. Huh? She instantly opened her eyes and jolted up from her bed.

Who is that? She walked to the door and pressed her ear against it to listen more closely. “Now I am here, right?” she again heard a faint voice and she instantly recognized the voice. Zhao Tian?

Her heart palpated in happiness and a sweet smile instantly adorned her face. Did he come? Gently, she turned the doorknob, cautiously peeking from her room to catch a glimpse of the dashing young man, who was now seated at the dining table eating the food she made.

As he parted his lips to take a bite, a wave of pure joy inundated her heart and her eyes softened in affection. This guy…

Meanwhile, at the dining table, Li Qianzhi shook her head helplessly “Glad you came Tian, do you how hard she worked to prepare all of this food for you?”

“She rushed to the mart yesterday and brought the ingredients and began her cooking in the morning, she even took a leave from University so that she can cook for you…”

“Even though she looks like an angry bird, she is actually a sweet girl.”

Zhao Tian nodded “Now, I am here right?”

Just as he was about to scoop up another mouthful of food, a hand emerged from his behind and Mei Xiu took a small bowl with a delectable side dish and placed it near his plate.

“Eat with this, it will taste better.” Zhao Tian glanced at the beautiful brown-haired woman and nodded his head. He reached for the side dish, adding it to his meal, and lifted the fork to his lips.

Mei Xiu looked in anticipation and Zhao Tian munched down the food, He looked at her a gentle smile on his lips “Now it’s really better.”

Mei Xiu smiled hearing this, his smile melting the anger in her heart and sat near him at the dining table, “Well, let’s eat then… Good thing you came, I was wondering how am I going to finish all the food alone.”

Zhao Tian chuckled in his heart as if he didn’t know that she threw a tantrum in her room “Yeah, yeah…”

“Here, have this too”…

Li Qianzhi was surprised in her heart to see her granddaughter serving the food to Zhao Tian with a smile on her lips which she is unaware of.

‘I can see some growth!’

…

Zhao Ying looked at the big pool in the mansion ‘That woman, Fei Lingxi’s taste is not bad. This mansion is really good.’

She raised her head to look at the top of the mansion ‘I acn’t even see the barrier Tian’er, placed.’

“Ying’er, where did Tian’er go?”

“Mom, he went back he had a busy work.”

…

Xia Shenyi came out of the mansion and saw Shi Yixian who was wearing black and golden robes standing near the courtyard looking at the sky. Xia Shenyi walked closer to her “Um, Yixian?”

Shi Yixian glanced at Xia Shenyi for a second and again looked at the skies. E-Eh? Xia Shenyi doesn’t even know how to approach this woman “Yixian, why are you looking at the sky?”

Shi Yixian stayed silent, her red eyes staring at the clouds in the sky. Xia Shenyi chuckled wryly in her mind, she only talk with Zhao Tian? “Um, Yixian… I am Zhao Tian’s woman, so you can talk with me.”

This time Shi Yixian looked at Xia Shenyi a look of curiosity in her eyes “Is that My Liege’s name?” Xia Shenyi gave a nod “Yeah…”

“Zhao Tian, Zhao Tian….” Shi Yixian muttered two times “So you are My Liege’s woman?”

Xia Shenyi nodded her head “Yeah, so tell me… why are you looking at the sky?”

Shi Yixian’s eyes glanced down “I was… trying to remember something” she said raising her hand to look at her palm “I can still feel the lingering touch of the sword in my grasp.”

“It was so soothing… and it felt so good. I feel like I have been swinging a sword for years.” A low whisper escaped her lips as she turned her eyes to the sky.

Her eyes quivered as she saw the blue sky red in her vision “It was red… red sky and red everything.. the sword in my grasp obliterated the enemies. It … was a battlefield…”

“I remember… the screams of the enemies, the weak crumbling under the strong… war cries, people losing their lives in front of me as my sword slashed them.”

Her body shivered and her lips quivered in intense emotions “A-At that time, he came… his presence alone sent shivers to me, his eyes glancing down at everyone as if they were worthless trash and his aura spreading over the battlefield commanding attention the arrogance in his eyes.”

Tears began to trickle down her cheeks as her thoughts drifted back to the haunting memories of the past “F-Flames… Suddenly it was flames everywhere. It burned everyone… enemies… my people… arghhh!” she screamed, the memories flooding back.

Xia Shenyi panicked hearing her scream and grabbed her shoulders “Yixian?” Shi Yixian closed her eyes and frantically shook her head “No… The flames were burning my body… it w-was….arghhhhh!” Her words trailed off, replaced by a gut-wrenching scream.

“Yixian, calm down!” Xia Shenyi spoke and grabbed her chin making Shi Yixian look at her. “Yixian!! Yixian!”

“H-Huh?” Shi Yixian was jolted out of her thoughts, causing her entire body to tremble and her legs gave up as she stumbled on the floor on her ass “Haah!” she let out a heavy breath.

“Yixian, are you okay?” Xia Shenyi asked crouching beside her and Shi Yixian gave a somewhat nod “Just some of my memories… ah.”

Xia Shenyi spoke “Get up, get some rest first…”

“En!”
