Rebirth : A Woman With Frozen Heart

Indescribable Longing And Sadness

(Insert Theme : Us Against The World - Westlife)

Tianshang De Kongjian.. Moon Palace, Chang'e's Chamber..

Chang'e was standing at the balcony of her chamber, she stared at the distance. There were worry and

sadness on her beautiful face, as if there was something weighing down her mind. As a sigh escaped

her lips, she was wrapped into warm embrace from behind. A familiar scent hit her nostril and a deep

voice she knew so well murmured gently near her ears.

"Sweet Moon."

Hearing the endearment, Chang'e closed her eyes and smiled softly. "Zhong Kui, you came."

"Nn.." Zhong Kui replied, "Is there something on your mind? You were so preoccupied that you didn't

realize I came."

"...I.. was thinking about Big Brother Tian..." Chang'e answered, "..I wonder will he agree with me..

marrying you.."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Zhong Kui offered, his tone was earnest.

Hearing his offer, Chang'e turned around abruptly. "Are you crazy?! If you go to Heaven Realm, the Yin

in your body will be suppressed by the Yang energy in Heaven Realm! You will die!"

Seeing the worry on Chang'e's face, Zhong Kui smiled in adoration. He lifted his hand and touched her

delicate face, his thumb caressed her cheek softly. "I will do anything for you, Sweet Moon. This.. is not

a lie, if I have to go to Heaven Realm to ask blessing of Heavenly Emperor to marry you. I will do it no

matter what."

"Zhong Kui.." Chang'e was stunned slightly then lowered her gaze, moving her head down, "..You

sacrificed a lot for me.. Your Kingdom.. the Demon Realm.. your trusted people.. You threw it all for

me.."

"And here I am.. worried about what should I do if Big Brother Tian doesn't agree. Can I go against Big

Brother? Can I throw away Heaven Realm for you? Can I leave my friends, the four beasts for you? I..."

Chang'e closed her eyes, looking conflicted.

Staring at her conflicted expression for a while, Zhong Kui opened his mouth, "You can do whatever

you want, My Bright Moon."

Opening her eyes abruptly, Chang'e lifted her gaze to meet Zhong Kui's, staring at him in disbelief.

"You.. You are okay if I choose Heaven Realm?" She asked.

"Yes." Zhong Kui answered simply,

"You are okay if I choose to obey Big Brother?"

"Yes."

"You are okay even if I choose to leave you?"

"Yes."

"....." Chang'e was rendered speechless.

Seeing Chang'e's reaction, Zhong Kui gave his usual devilishly handsome smile, "All I have to do is go

to Heaven Realm and kidnap you." He said confidently.

Chang'e's eyes widened as she heard his words, her lips parted slightly but no words came out of it.

Zhong Kui caressed her cheek with the back of his hand softly and full of love. "I already told you, My

Bright Moon.. You can do whatever you want but you can never escape from me."

"You can run away to the end of the earth or deep into the abyss, I.. Zhong Kui, will never let you go."

Zhong Kui whispered such words lovingly, his deep voice was just like a devil's melody to Chang'e

ears.

"That.. is the price you have to pay, for making this Ghost King, fall so crazily in love with you."

Zhong Kui leaned closer and captured Chang'e's lips with his, slowly and gently devouring it as his

arms wrapped around Chang'e's slender body, locking her within his embrace. Chang'e closed her

eyes, leaving her body under Zhong Kui's love and care as the two shared passionate kiss.

The next day..

Ming Yue lifted her body abruptly from the bed, gasping slightly for air as tears started forming at the

corner of her eyes. Slowly it flowed down her cheeks and Ming Yue lifted her hand and touched her

chest as her hand gripped the fabric tightly. She felt strong feelings of sadness and longing attacking

her heart, making it ached so much. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"...Zhong..Kui.." Ming Yue muttered the name softly and felt the longing and sadness that was attacking

her heart grew stronger. Closing her eyes, Ming Yue let the tears fell down as much as she could.

Ming Yue cried for a while, letting the sadness and longing inside her heart slowly disappeared. A

knock could be heard from door of her room, followed by a soft voice belonged to Lin Zhao.

"Sister Yue, have you woken up?"

Ming Yue glanced at the electric clock on the small counter next to the bed, it showed 7 AM. Knowing

that she woke up late, Ming Yu answered, "Yes, just now. Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Not yet, let's have breakfast together, Sister Yue." Lin Zhao spoke.

"Okay. You can go first, A Zhao. I will come down as soon as possible." Ming Yue said, wiping the tears

of her face and headed toward the bathroom in a hurry.

"Okay~" Lin Zhao answered cheerfully.

Ming Yue came down from her room as quickly as she could and entered the dining room. "I am sorry, I

woke up late." She apologized quickly.

Seeing Ming Yue so flustered, Grandpa Wu laughed. "Why did you have to apologize for sleeping late?

Look, A Shao just came as well."

A Shao came in while yawning, "Mornin~" He greeted in lazy tone.

Ming Yue was slightly embarrassed as she took a seat next to Lin Zhao and Lin Shao sat next to her. It

became a habit for the twins to be by Ming Yue's each sides whenever they could. It as if they were

magnets with Ming Yue as the center. The breakfast was served for the three youngsters while the

adults enjoyed their coffee and tea instead.

"Yue'er, just like we planned yesterday, today we're going to be busy." Fan Mei spoke out of the blue

when Ming Yue was in the middle of enjoying her breakfast, causing her to pause the movement of her

mouth as she stared at her mother.

"Eh?"

Fan Mei pouted slightly, "Don't tell me you didn't listen at all when we discussed about the party

preparation."

Ming Yue gulped the food in her mouth, looking guilty because Fan Mei's words hit right on the mark.

Smiling sheepishly, Ming Yue spoke, "I am sorry, Mother. Since I don't really understand any of this

thing.. somehow my mind became blank yesterday."

"Oh this child." Fan Mei sighed in resignation. She could tell that Ming Yue didn't really feel excited

when they discussed about the party's preparation. She just sat there with blank face, as if they were

talking in foreign language.

A girl must know how to party and spoil herself!

Fan Mei decided to teach that to her daughter.

"Well, I will explain things along the way. Finish your breakfast fast then prepare yourself, we are going

out." Fan Mei ordered,

Ming Yue blinked for a few times before asking a question, "Uh.. Out where?" She asked carefully,

somehow had a feeling that she knew the answer.

Fan Mei smiled sweetly and answered, "Shopping and Beautifying~"

Gulping an air once, Ming Yue mused inwardly.

'...Oh boy.'
