Chapter 28 - Love Or Obsession
Do you know that there is a fine line between love and obsession? Ever wondered if you love your partner or are just obsessed with them? Many people say that both love and obsession are the same but they are not.
Love.
It flows. It lets go. It makes feel good.
Obsession.
Obsession controls, hold on no matter what. It drives you crazy and look like an idiot. It takes over all your common senses.
Unfortunately, obsessive love had been glorified in literature for centuries, as well as by the media, once the media came into being. From the mutual suicides of Romeo and Juliet to even many of the most recent romantic movies, being obsessed with the object of one's love was often held up as something to aspire to.
Liu Shishi was over the moon once she heard that she was finally going to marry the man she always loved correction obsessed. To her, Long Yuan was the object which was always meant to be for her and to attain the goal of achieving him she did everything that was in her power.
Good bad, right wrong, moral immoral everything.
She was so engrossed in her utopian happiness that she failed to notice a certain furious figure approaching her.
The door to her makeup room opened with a thud and in entered a furious Chen Yuling. She was her cousin from the maternal side and also the boss of the Sunshine Entertainment.
When Liu Shishi saw her cousin she smiled sweetly at her and said "[1]Jie, why are you here? You don't have to bother yourself by coming all way here. You should have just called me I would have come to you."
"Really shishi? You would have? I thought since you are so happy you have forgotten that your sister even exists? , "Chen Yuling asked sarcastically. She was enraged since the time she heard that Liu Shishi was getting married. It was not her marriage to Long Yuan that bothered her but the reason why they were getting married before the date was fixed by both the families.
" Jie, why are you talking like this to shishi? Did shishi do something wrong? Tell me Jie what wrong I did to you?" Liu Shishi asked her while tears streaming down her cheeks. With tears streaming down her cheeks she looked like a young girl who had been seriously wronged.
Chen Yuling's heart softened seeing her aggrieved look and she couldn't help but lowered her voice and asked in a neutral voice.
" You are getting married shishi-
"Oh! Jie that's why you are upset with me? I was about to tell you. Look at me being so forgetful. I am so happy that I'm finally going to marry him. You know how much I love him. Right?" Liu Shishi exclaimed.
"Trust me little sister your marriage with long yuan doesn't bother me but what does is the reason why your marriage is preponed, " Chen Yuling said loudly.
The realization hit her and her eyes widened in shock, fear, and disbelief.
Long Jie. Her brother in law. Marriage. Reason of Chen Yuling's anger.
"Jie, I am sorry. I didn't even realized the mistake I made. Forgive me ." Liu Shishi pleaded. If there was someone who knew her temper better it was Liu Shishi.She knew the extent of feelings Chen Yuling had for Long Jie. She was aware of the fact what Chen Yuling was willing to do just to possess him.
" Jie, why don't you express your feelings to him? There is no one better than you to be Brother-in-law's wife " Liu Shishi suggested. Indeed Chen Yuling was a rare beauty. Moreover she was of noble origin. Blue blood flowed in her veins. She was the top socialite in Beijing's social circle.
Chen Yuling closed her eyes and took deep breath as if to control herself. she was beyond furious but it didn't mean she would show her anger to anyone. she had a reputation and status to maintain.
She questioned Liu shishi " Tell me Shishi why don't he notice me? Why he can't marry me? He outrightly refused Auntie Lily when she expressed her desire to have me married to him. What do I lack Shishi?"
"Jie, you are perfect and nobody can take your place as his wife. You just have to fight for your love." Liu shishi answered.
What an irony two people who didn't even know the meaning of true love was claiming why they couldn't get their love in return! Love that was never their in the first place.
"What should I do Shishi? You have to help me no matter what. Don't forget, it's just because of me you are getting Yuan."
"Jie, I gave you the idea last time. It was you who refused to adopt such a measure. Remember everything is fair in love and war. Either you adopt right measures or you lose your love"
Chen Yuling contemplated for a few moments and then nodded. She could either maintain her status as a top socialite or get the love of her life. And in no condition she was going to lose the latter.
