Chapter 3: Unexpected Things Happen All The Time
Normal POV
Amy Li was so not having a nice morning. Who would if you were awaken up from your nice sweet morning with your really hot husband by none other than your love rival?
Actually, cancel the word love rival. Sakura wasn't even fit to be her love rival because Amy knew that Syaoran only loved her and Sakura was so past tense.
Nevertheless, Amy Li was really pissed off by the fact that Syaoran actually raised his voice at her when he never did that before. It irked her even more at the thought that he did it for the sake of her.
Amy stomped down the stairs to have her breakfast at the main dining table, only to be greeted by none other than her two 'favourite' in-laws, Mei Ling and Fei Mei.
Mei Ling and Fei Mei were sitting at the dining table when they noticed Amy's presence. They looked at Amy who looked so pissed off. They smiled. They knew exactly what had made the diva so pissed off that morning.
"Good morning, Amy. It's such a pleasant morning today," Mei Ling said with a smirk on her face.
Amy ignored her and continued walking towards the dining table.
"Looks like someone got up from the wrong side of the bed this morning," Fei Mei said with a smirk as well.
"Hm…. I wonder why?" Mei Ling said as she pretended to ponder over the reason.
Amy tried to calm herself down. She never really liked the two because they were constantly siding with Sakura.
"Amy-sama, what would you like for breakfast?" a young maid by the name of Yuki asked.
"Bacon and sausages," Amy replied nonchalantly.
Yuki nodded her head and walked away to the kitchen. There was silence for a moment at the dining table. Then, Mei Ling decided to start a conversation.
"Did you see Syaoran this morning? He looked like he was in a hurry. He must have went to meet Sakura," Mei Ling said.
"Yeah, and he even skipped breakfast. He was dressed up quite handsomely too. I guess he wanted to look good in front of his first love." Fei Mei said.
Amy is getting so pissed off at what both of them were saying. But she remained quiet. Those two were so going to pay for it when she reports this to Syaoran.
"Obviously he wanted to look good. Syaoran still loves Sakura, you know. I could see it in his eyes," Mei Ling said.
"Maybe Sakura wanted to meet Syaoran to reconcile with him. I knew Syaoran would definitely approve of it seeing the manner he took off today," Fei Mei continued.
"That would be so great!" Mei Ling squealed happily.
Yuki came back with the food that Amy ordered. She walked meekly towards Amy.
"Here, Amy-sama. This is your food," Yuki said.
"What is this?" Amy asked furiously.
"It….It's….bacon and sausages, like you requested," Yuki stammered in fear.
"I did not request of that!" Amy raised her voice as she glared at Yuki. "You are such a useless maid," Amy said, venting her anger at the poor girl.
"But….but… you asked for that just now. I-"
"Don't talk back at me, you ignorant maid. You are so useless that I think I should fire you!" Amy said angrily.
Tears were beginning to well up in Yuki eyes. Mei Ling decided to intervene. "What is the matter with you, woman? You did order that just now." "Yeah, we heard it with our own ears," Fei Mei said.
"So? She should have came back and asked me again to reconfirm," Amy said to defend herself.
"You're being unreasonable. You just want to vent your anger on poor Yuki," Mei Ling said as she glared at Amy.
"Whatever. I am the mistress of the house. So I have a right to scold the maids," Amy said.
"Don't talk so highly of yourself. Between us all, you have the lowest ranking in the Li family. If you want to compare, Sakura is more rightful to be the mistress than you," Fei Mei said.
"Yeah, but too bad she won't be back here," Amy said spitefully.
"She will. I can assure you that she and Syaoran are probably making up now. By tonight, she will move back here," Mei Ling said.
"And you'll be in no position to scold the maids or claim to be the rightful mistress of the family," Fei Mei said.
Amy glared at both of them and they glared back as well. It was like a glaring contest at the dining table. Finally, Amy gave up and walked away. Mei Ling and Fei Mei smirked in satisfaction.
It felt so good to see Amy losing in a fight.
Amy Li walked to a secluded corner of the mansion where there was nobody around. She was so pissed off at today's incidents. If they think she was going to let Sakura come back so easily, they were so wrong.
Amy took out her mobile and dialed a number. When someone picked up on the other side, she spoke.
"Suli, I want you to do something for me."
Sakura's POV
"WHAT! You want to divorce Syaoran?" Elder Feng asked in disbelief.
I rolled my eyes and sighed. I knew he would give that kind of reaction. Elder Feng was a very nice person. He was really sweet and kind unlike you-know-who.
"Yes. I mean, I think it's about time," I said as I shrugged my shoulder.
"About time for you to reconcile with him," Elder Yun said.
Elder Yun was another nice person to the add to the list. Ok, to make it short,
Everyone is nice except for Elder Nie.
"I can't reconcile with him. It would be so…..wrong," I said in protest. "Yeah, it will be very wrong," Elder Nie said with a cunning smile.
I glared at him. Of course he loved it that I'm going to divorce my husband. That would make his daughter the rightful mistress of the Li family.
"Shut up, Elder Nie. You just want your daughter to monopolize Syaoran," Elder Feng said grumpily.
Yay! You go, Elder Feng. That's why I love you so much!
"Of course I don't mean so. I mean that if there is no love between them, then what's the point of keeping the marriage. You know Syaoran's heart only has place for Amy," Elder Nie said with a smirk.
I glared at him. What he said was kind of true but he didn't have to say that in front of me, right?
"Well, congratulations that I'm finally going to let them two be together. I think you have waited for this day for a long, long time," I said sarcastically with a fake smile.
"I'm glad you know that, Sakura-sama," he said with that cunning smirk of his. I narrowed my eyes at him. If looks could kill, he would probably be dead.
"Stop fighting, you two. Syaoran isn't going to be happy if he sees you bickering like this," Elder Chin said.
"Yeah, he's probably going to throw a fit," Elder Tien said.
Those two are the wise and sensible one, always thinking before acting. They are the true form of how elders should be like.
I glared at Elder Nie while he glared back at me. It was then a glaring contest, and I was sure I was going to win this one.
Suddenly, the door opened. Everyone, including myself diverted their attention towards the door.
My, my, it's none other than Syaoran. He always had to make a grand entrance like this.
"Sorry, I'm late. We can begin the meeting now but make it short. I'm late for work," Syaoran said coldly and calmly.
He was dressed in a suit but the coat was left unbuttoned and he didn't even wore his necktie. Few of the buttons at his collar was left unbuttoned as well and his hair was still as messy as I saw him earlier.
A conclusion:
It's so unfair that a jerk like him can look so hot without even trying to.
"Sakura, what were you going to say to me?" Syaoran asked in that cold tone of his. I took a deep breath. "I just wanted to say that I want to divorce you," I said calmly in a diplomatic manner. If he can sound business-like, so can I.
Syaoran kept quiet to think about it.
"Syaoran, I am against this. I will not let Sakura divorce you," Elder Feng said. I widened my eyes in surprise at Elder Feng's objection. He was going to ruin my chances of being granted a divorce.
"Yeah, I am sure your mother wouldn't agree as well. You and Sakura shouldn't divorce," Elder Yun said, supporting Elder Feng. I turned to look at Elder Yun speechlessly.
What were they doing? They were supposed to support me in divorcing Syaoran, not asking him not to divorce me!
"Syaoran, I think you should divorce Sakura. You two don't love each other anymore, right? So you might as well give her back her freedom," Elder Nie said.
For the first time in my entire life, I'm actually supporting Elder Nie. What he said was so true.
Syaoran was still deep in thoughts. No one could read what was in his mind.
"How about this? We shall vote as to whether they should divorce or not. That would end the conflict," Elder Chen said. "Fine with me, then. I vote that Sakura and Syaoran stay married as couple," Elder Feng said.
I shot him a pleading look but he ignored me.
"I agree with Elder Feng. They should stay married. I'm sure you two still love each other," Elder Yun said calmly as he turned to look at me with a smile, as I shook my head in a silent plead.
"I beg to differ. I think that Syaoran should divorce Sakura," Elder Nie said.
Thank god. At least I got one vote who agreed with my opinion. I looked at Elder Chen and Tien with a pleading look. Elder Chen seemed to understand my look. He sighed softly.
"Well, since Sakura really wants the divorce, I will support her then, if this will bring her happiness," Elder Chen said.
I smiled at him and mouthed a thank you to him.
So it's 2 vote for a yes and 2 votes for a no. I looked pleadingly at Elder Tien. My fate was in his hands.
Elder Tien kept silent for a moment, before finally speaking.
"I think that the final answer should be given to Syaoran. After all, it is his marriage. He should be the one making the best decision for the both of them," Elder Tien said calmly.
Ok, I didn't expect that but, it's ok. I am bound to get this divorce.
I should start to celebrate now.
Because there is absolutely no way Syaoran would say—
"No."
Everyone looked at Syaoran who had finally spoken. Yes! I knew Syaoran would say that.
Wait a minute.
Did he just said no?
HOW COULD THIS BE?
"Syaoran, what did you just said?" Elder Nie asked in disbelief.
"I said no. I don't agree to the divorce," Syaoran said tonelessly. There was silence in the room. I didn't even know what to say. I lost my voice as I struggled to find the right words to say.
Elder Feng and Elder Yun gave a satisfactory smile at Elder Nie. Elder Nie looked really pissed off though.
"But Syaoran—" Elder Nie protested.
"That's enough. It's the end of the discussion. I have to go now. I need to rush to work," Syaoran said with a firm voice, indicating that the matter was closed now. Then, he calmly walked past me towards the door. I wanted to shout to stop him. I mean how could he do that to me?! But, my voice did not seem to come out at all.
After recovering from the shock, I immediately ran after Syaoran.
There was absolutely no way Syaoran was gonna deny me that divorce.
I ran as fast as my high-heeled sandals could bring me and I finally caught up with Syaoran. He was heading towards his black Porsche.
"Syaoran Li! Stop right there!" I shouted out really loud. Syaoran stopped and turned around. I ran up towards him and started to pant heavily.
"Syao…Syaoran…Li…you owe me an explanation," I said as I panted. Syaoran raised his eyebrows. "What explanation?" he asked.
"Stop pretending, Syaoran. I want you to tell me why you wouldn't let me divorce you," I said angrily.
Syaoran looked intently at me. His amber eyes met my emerald ones.
"Why do you want a divorce so much?" Syaoran asked.
"Well, do you really have to ask? I want the divorce because I want my freedom back," I said.
"Is it really so tough for you to be my wife?" Syaoran asked.
"You really want a truthful answer?" I asked.
Syaoran nodded his head.
"Yes." I said firmly.
Syaoran kept quiet for a moment.
"Well, it is not as if you will care whether I'm still your wife or not. I mean for the past four years, I bet you didn't even remember I existed," I said.
Syaoran kept quiet.
"I'm sure it doesn't make a difference to you anyway. You have Amy and that's enough, isn't it?" I said.
"Sakura, I do remember you existed. I just-"
"You just what? Didn't know that I was living so near to you? Or you didn't know that this so called wife'of yours was suffering so much while you enjoy your sweet time with Amy?" I snapped, It felt good to finally be able to say what I felt.
Syaoran kept quiet. His expression was unreadable.
"Sakura, I-" he began to speak. His amber eyes softened unlike before at the altar room.
I really thought that he was going to ask for my forgiveness, and I would then tell him that it was all too late and let him regret for life.
But, that moment was broken by the ringing of Syaoran's phone.
God, didn't anyone know that mobile phones should be switched off when you have serious affairs to talk about?
Syaoran reached out for his phone and looked at the screen. He frowned and ended the call. Then, he kept it back in his pocket. He looked at me again but this time, his amber eyes were cold once more. "I'm really busy and I need to go now, as I'm really late for work. Let's talk again someday," Syaoran said coldly as he walked towards his Porsche.
"Syaoran, we can't talk about this someday. Who knows when this someday will be? A hundred years later?" I insisted.
"Well, then you have to wait a hundred years later then," he answered calmly and closed the door of the car. Then, he drove away, leaving me standing at the pavement.
AAARGH!
This was exactly why….
I HATE SYAORAN LI!
At that point, I didn't care anymore. I was so gonna get that divorce from Syaoran Li.
