My Killing President

On a distance to his left, there was a huge tree. Alistair Mu could see a rocking cradle under it and a round wooden table. There was a laptop on top of it and also a few wooden chairs by the side. A woman in white blouse sat by the rocking cradle. Her black lustrous hair

was loose in the wind and she was teasing the child in the cradle...

The man couldn't see the child from his angle but he was able to see her slender figure from afar.

That scene was even more beautiful than any picture.

"Shi Guang, say... Papa, Pa- Pa-" Her voice was like soothing like a morning flute.

When Alistair Mu heard the word papa, his heart tightened.

Although he didn't see her face, the man knew that the woman before him was the person he had been looking for desperately.

All these while, he had imagined countless reunion. He thought he would be dashing as fast as he could to hug her, or even to scold her.

But now...

When he looked forward, his heart was at peace.

The man paced over very slowly.

The woman was tapping on her laptop while playing with the child. The man could hear the baby's murmur and it was simply moving, like the sweetest music to his ear.

When Alistair Mu was closer behind the woman, she didn't notice his presence. But the baby in the cradle saw Alistair Mu and he giggled innocently at him.

When the woman noticed that, she followed his gaze and turned her head back. The moment she saw the person standing behind, the gentle smile on her face froze. She stood up slowly and gasp a breath...

The man stood a few steps away from her. He finally saw the face that he dreamt about every night and day.

Finally...

But at that moment, his heart was just tranquil and serene.

He lifted his feet and approached her slowly.

The man and woman looked in each other's eyes and they didn't say anything.

In the end, Annabelle Xia broke the silence, "You..."

Before she finished, Alistair Mu stretched out his arms and hugged her.

The man hugged her ever so tightly.

Smelling the most familiar scent greedily.

At but it was never enough to soothe how much he missed her.

The man had dreamt about this hug countless times. And now he could finally... finally do it.

Annabelle Xia simply stood there and felt the warmth from his body. The man was real, not just a dream this time.

She raised her arms slowly and wrapped around his body. A few seconds later, she hugged him back tightly.

For the past year, she had been missing him badly as well.

She missed him with all her heart.

She missed his hug, his taste and even his ruthlessness.

"I finally found you. Annabelle Xia, do you know how much I hate you?" Alistair Mu hugged her and said softly, reluctant to loosen in his hug.

Annabelle Xia let him did as he pleases. When she heard the familiar voice, her eyes went misty but her lips curled up, "I miss you as much as you hate me!" When Alistair Mu heard that, he hugged her even tighter.

After a long, long while, Alistair Mu released her, "Come back with me?"

Annabelle Xia looked at him, "If you don't blame me and won't be angry at me, I will go back with you!"

"Then what if I blame you and I am angry at you?" Alistair Mu asked back.

"Then I will do everything I can to make you stay here with me!" Annabelle Xia said and her eyes were brimming in joy.

Alistair Mu broke into a chuckle and hugged her again, "Annabelle, don't leave me again. I wouldn't be able to stand it again!"

Annabelle Xia hugged him back and nodded, "Now even if you were to chase me away, I won't leave you anymore!"

The couple hugged each other tightly.

After a long while, they heard the baby burbling and then a chuckle.

Alistair Mu came back to his senses and he released Annabelle Xia. He looked at the baby in the cradle and he was tiny indeed. A little chubby with baby fat and he had a pair of lively eyes. At that time, he was smiling as he looked at Alistair Mu. "He..."

Alistair Mu was lost. He was overcome with happiness and he didn't know what to do.

Annabelle Xia smiled and went closer to the baby, "Shi Guang, call Papa. This is your papa!"

But the baby was just a few months old and it was impossible for him to speak. Annabelle Xia was telling Alistair Mu that this is their child.

"He... He is my..." Alistair Mu was so happy he was afraid...

Annabelle Xia, "He is your son!"

My son?

Alistair Mu looked at him and touched his soft cheek. When he saw the baby giggled, he didn't know what to do, "It's my son... My son..." "Do you want to carry him?"

"Can I?" Alistair Mu asked carefully. The man's eyes were gleaming with merry.

Annabelle Xia did not answer that but she simply carried the baby and passed him to Alistair Mu.

The moment the man took over, that tiny human almost melted his heart.

"Shi Guang..."

Annabelle Xia nodded.

All of a sudden, Alistair Mu recalled one of a product she put on her online shop, Little Shi Guang.

So that was it.

"Shi Guang, say Papa- Papa..."

When Annabelle Xia looked at the way Alistair Mu carried the baby, that elation and carefulness, she just couldn't describe her feeling.

She had selfishly robbed Alistair Mu of his happiness of being a father. She was burdened with guilt as well. However, everything was no longer important before the present. They should look forward from now on.

The most important thing was, they got together again...

In a cottage in the sea of blooming lavenders.

Annabelle Xia wore a country white dress as she stood beside the man. The man in black windbreaker was holding a baby in his arms and they looked merry.

Their reunion wasn't the way they expected, with strong emotions and tear-jerking surprise. Yet it was the simplest happiness that brought them together.

As the lavenders danced in the breeze, the family under the tree felt that time had stopped.

The most beautiful moment of their lives were frozen...

The place Annabelle Xia stayed.

Probably the baby was just too excited to see his father and he just refused to sleep. Moreover, he didn't treat Alistair Mu like a stranger at all. Shi Guang kept murmuring to his father for a long while before falling asleep in his arms.

Annabelle Xia carried the baby from his arms and put him on the cradle. The mother couldn't help but complained, "You naughty boy, now that you see your father, you forgot about your mother already..." Although she said that, her lips couldn't help but curled up as she tucked him in. When the woman saw that the baby was sleeping so soundly, she kissed his cheek gently and walked away.

The moment she turned over, Alistair Mu was standing behind her and his eyes were passionate.

Now that the noisy one had fallen asleep, the room went back into a quietness. Only the two breathing sounds were heard. Alistair Mu walked forward and hugged her.

Annabelle Xia hugged him back and their feelings towards each other swell up...

Alistair Mu carried her up and stared at her face intently. His gaze was so passionate as if it was devouring her.

"Annabelle Xia, swear that you will never leave me again!" Alistair Mu stared in her eyes.

Annabelle Xia looked back and her eyes were clear, "I swear I will never leave you..."

When Alistair Mu heard that, he was relieved. The man lowered his body and kissed her lips...

He was so careful...

The moment their lips almost touched, the doorbell rang.

The two of them paused helplessly.

Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu, "I'll go check on it!"

Alistair Mu nodded and Annabelle Xia got down the bed to check on the door.

The man simply lied on the bed. It had been more than thirty hours since he last slept properly.

The man shut his eyes.

When Annabelle Xia came back, she saw that Alistair Mu had already fallen asleep. As she moved closer and looked at his face, she observed the weariness and also restfulness from his face.

It was as if the man hadn't been able to sleep so restfully for a long, long while.

Annabelle Xia did not wake him up and simply covered him with blanket. The woman continued to sit beside him and watched him quietly.

After not seeing him for one year, the man had lost quite some weight. His face was chiseled and gained fortitude. Annabelle Xia touched him gently and felt his face, his nose, his lips... There was a saying that a man with thin lips would be heartless. Alistair Mu, thank you for proving them wrong!

After a long while, Annabelle Xia lied down and fell asleep beside him.

Alistair Mu fell asleep early and he woke up early as well.

When he woke up, Annabelle Xia was still sleeping. As the man saw the woman by his side, his lips curled up in contentment. The man felt that his world was finally made perfect. He stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, sniffing his most beloved scent greedily.

When Annabelle Xia felt that, she moved a little and opened her eyes. When Alistair Mu's face reflected in her eyes, she smiled, "You're up?"

"Yeah, did I wake you?" Alistair Mu asked.

Annabelle Xia smiled, "No!"

Annabelle Xia looked at the clock by the wall and she said, "It is quite late already. You had quite the deep sleep. Have you not been resting well?" Alistair Mu nodded, "Yeah, I didn't sleep at all during my flight here. After that I stayed the night in the hotel and I simply slept about two hours!" Annabelle Xia felt a pain in her heart.

"Then surely you hadn't been eating as well. What do you want to eat? Let me prepare for you!" As she said that, she wanted to get up. The moment she sat up, Alistair Mu pulled her back to his hug.

The man was starving but he wanted to spend time with her rather filling his growling stomach.

"Stay with me for a little longer!"

Annabelle Xia leaned on Alistair Mu's chest and nodded meekly, "By the way, how did you manage to find me?" Annabelle Xia asked suddenly. Alistair Mu's lips curled up. He didn't answer but simply asked back, "Have you been earning an income through selling jewelry online?" When Annabelle Xia heard that, she understood.

"Have you seen that?"

Alistair Mu nodded.

Annabelle Xia's lips curled up and she hugged him, "I knew you would definitely see that!"

The woman had faith.

"I said I wanted to buy the ring but you aren't selling!" Alistair Mu continued.

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she recalled that there was a weird person that wanted to buy her rings. Could it be...

Annabelle Xia looked at him, "That was you?"

"If not?"

Annabelle Xia recalled their conversation. At that time, she was thinking about Alistair Mu as well. But she hadn't imagined that she was already talking to him.

If she had known, she would be so excited that she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Annabelle Xia wrapped her arms around him and said, "I was thinking about you that time!"

Alistair Mu hugged her tightly.

At that day, the man couldn't help but asked, "If you miss me that much, why are you hiding so far away!?"

She answered, "Because I know you will definitely come!"

"Why?"

"Because I believe in our love!"

At that time, Alistair Mu didn't understand her fully. But sometime in the future, he realized that one of the language of lavender was faith in love.

......

After they got out, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. It should be about two o'clock in the midnight back in A city.

After they got up, they heard a conversation between men and women outside their house. It was very lively.

Annabelle Xia went to prepare breakfast and Alistair Mu went to check on their little boy.

When he went over, little Shi Guang was lying in his craddle. The little boy's eyes were wide opened and he was nibbling on his thumb. His cheek was chubby and he looked like a ball of cuteness. The man felt that his heart almost melted. "Baby, are you awake?" Alistair Mu looked at him and he couldn't help but moved over to give him a kiss. When he felt that warm softness, he couldn't help but smile elatedly to himself.

Shi Guang giggled as well. The baby was happy to see Alistair Mu.

When the man looked at the baby's clothes by the side, all of a sudden he felt like changing him.

However, the man soon realized that it was quite the challenge. Shi Guang was being cooperative and he didn't throw a tantrum. However, Alistair Mu just didn't know where to start.

In the end, he had no choice but to ask for help, "Annabelle, how should I change him?"

Annabelle Xia was making breakfast when he heard his call. The woman smiled joyously as she brought breakfast from the kitchen and went inside the bedroom. When she saw Alistair Mu's troubled face, she broke into a laughter. "Mr. Mu, how rare to see you so troubled!" Annabelle Xia couldn't help but teased him.

"Hurry and come over here!" Alistair Mu said. The man was just afraid to hurt the boneless-like baby. He didn't dare to move him too much and he was panicking.

Annabelle Xia walked over and took the baby from his arms. Just some simple and swift movements and she got it done. Alistair Mu was just awed by her adept movements.

Although he had missed the chance to welcome that precious life, he realized that Annabelle Xia had a tough time all to herself as well.

The woman had been pregnant and taking care of the child all alone. She had endured far more hardships than him.

"Darling, thank you!" Alistair Mu hugged her from the back and said.

Darling...

Annabelle Xia's eyes were misty but she didn't show it to Alistair Mu, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for giving me such a wonderful son!"

At that time, she looked at him and said, "I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for not giving up on us mother and child!"

"The two of you are my life. How can I ever give up?"

Annabelle Xia looked at him thankfully.

Alistair Mu moved his face closer and wanted to kiss Annabelle Xia.

"Ya..." Shi Guang stretched out his tiny hands and stopped them. Although he wasn't doing that on purpose, he made Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu broke into a laughter.

When they were having breakfast, little Shi Guang was sitting on the baby chair and he stared at his parents curiously.

Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu, "How was it? Do you not like it?"

"It isn't as nice as Chinese food!" Alistair Mu said that and looked at her, "When do you plan to go back with me?"

The man thought that Annabelle Xia would feel heavy hearted to leave the place. However, the woman surprised him with her immediate response, "Anytime!"

Alistair Mu was elated, "All right, tomorrow then. I will give you one day to settle the matters here!"

Annabelle Xia nodded with a smile.

Alistair Mu was overcome with joy and even the breakfast tasted better.

After the breakfast, Annabelle Xia was cleaning up and Alistair Mu needed to have a video conference with Jack.

"President Mu, don't worry. I have done everything you instructed. I have told your grandmother as well. When your family knew that you found Miss Xia, they were celebrating!"

Alistair Mu nodded.

Shi Guang simply sat obediently by the side and watched as his mother got busy. When he saw that Alistair Mu sat by the side and did 'nothing', he was dissatisfied and started crying.

The moment he cried, Alistair Mu's heart softened and he spoke to the webcam, "Wait a while!" After saying that, he hurriedly went to his son.

The moment he carried the baby from his chair, Shi Guang stopped crying immediately. Not only that, he was excited and laughing happily. So he just wanted Alistair Mu to carry him...

When Alistair Mu went back to the computer, Jack was drinking and he almost choked.

"S...Sir... That is???" Jack saw from the screen that Alistair Mu was carrying a baby. He just couldn't describe that shock of a sight.

Alistair Mu had already learnt how to carry a baby properly. He looked at Jack's expression with a smug face, "My son!"

"Shi Guang, call Papa~"

Jack's jaw almost dropped to the floor, "This... Your son with Miss Xia!?" Jack asked.

Although he knew that their child should be birthed by now, he just couldn't shake off that weird feeling seeing Alistair Mu acting all fatherly carrying a baby.

Alistair Mu simply gave him an eye roll, "If not?!"

Yeah...

The next second, Jack did a print screen. He was the first person that saw his boss' son! Of course he should save it!

"He... He's so cute!! So soft..." Jack couldn't help but exclaimed.

That child had inherited both the good traits from Alistair Mu and Annabelle Xia. He was simply adorable.

At that time, Alistair Mu said, "We will be going back tomorrow. Arrange someone to pick us up. Okay now, I shall end the call, my son is not happy with me talking to you!"

Right after saying that, Alistair Mu ended the video call right away.

WAAHHH!!!

But I haven't had enough of him!!

Alistair Mu simply ended the call heartlessly.00000000
