4 Devilic - Angel.

Just one name of a particular city, and all heart wrecking nightmares came running into her memories, making her realize their existence in her life. Letting her know that they are those forbidden snippets of her life that she can never forget or delete from her heart.

Jingling City! The city that made her realize the most bitter truth of her life. Made her realize that twenty long years of her life was a complete waste, where, no matter how hard she worked or whomever she loved, she would lose them in just a blink of an eye.

The people whom she held precious to her heart never once thought of her having any value in their life. That was the time when she was living in the world of illusion that she had built herself around her.

Jingling City was the place where she lost her faith in life and her trust in the people around her. A place where her dreams and career were trampled all over, by her own people. She lost everything that she had earned with her hard work and dedication.

Though these five years had reduced her fear of trusting others and brought back her faith in the goodness of this world and people around her, still her dreadful nightmares every night never stopped.

The face of her younger sister, whom she had lost there, never faded away from her memories. She still remembered how she was murdered by the mindless people who never acted on the truth rather believed the rumors running in the air.

And now her fate was again taking her to the same city. How could fate be so heartless to her? She thought. That was the last place she would ever consider moving. The mere name of the city was enough to make her shiver out of fear.

But now she has to move back, to work there. To provide her angel with a better future to live in and also to make her wishes come true.

After giving much thought to this, she still can't make up her mind to allow herself to go back to the city where all her nightmares began.

She looked at the manager, who was surprised to find no happiness on her face for being promoted to get transferred to such a good place.

"Will it be okay if I can get transferred to some other city? I don't think I will be able to manage a life in such a high-end city. You already know how expensive a life is there", Li Xue said as she looked at the manager with her expectant eyes.

"If your reason to reject this offer is an expensive life there, then let me tell you the details of this promotion. You will be getting a fully furnished flat there, laced with all facilities, a car to drive, and also a package of salary that will be enough to feed a family of four. So yeah, I agree that the city is quite expensive but it won't be that expensive for you", the lady with big glasses said, adjusting her glasses over her nose.

The manager didn't give her any hints through her expression. Her face held doubt in her words as she looked at the beautiful young woman sitting in front of her. She knew Li Xue was from the same city, and she also had an air of the reason for her fears.

"Dear, I know what you are thinking. And you also know that I have always seen you as someone close to my family, more like a daughter I never had. Running from your fears and nightmares will never help you. You have to be strong in order to face them. Not only for yourself but also for the little one who takes you as her role model. Do you want Li Wei to learn this? Become a coward who will run away from her fears rather than face them."

"…" Li Xue didn't know how to reply to these words. She has always wanted everything best for her daughter, whether it be life, learning, or the morals to lead life. There is no way she would want her daughter to learn to be a coward. "There is no hurry. You have a week to think it over. Think about it carefully and then decide. And, it has already been five years since that incident. You have changed, your goals have changed, and your life has changed. Take this as an opportunity to move on. You are still young, you can still find someone to share your life with", the manager said, looking at Li Xue's beautiful young face.

It was really something Heaven had mistaken. Such a kind, beautiful girl who really deserves all the world's happiness. But she was deliberately forced to live a lifeless life where all her reasons to live were snatched away. She still remembered her appearance from 5 years ago. The face that was colorless, and eyes that were lifeless. As if there wasn't a heart inside of her that was pumping blood into her body, and beating to let her know that she was still alive. The only hope of light that brought her soul back to life was the little angel that Heaven had sent to her.  Li Xue was still in her thoughts when she felt her phone vibrating in her bag. She snapped back to her presence.

She pulled her phone out and looked at the manager to get humble permission. "Go on, take the call and let me know what that angel has done this time. It must be from her school", The manager said with a smile on her face.

Li Xue often receives calls from Li Wei's school, complaining about her being an excessively smart child, who always makes her teachers speechless with her reasons and facts. The day before yesterday, just before the weekend, her teacher complained that the little girl's questions had made the teacher run out of answers.

She didn't know whether she should praise her daughter for being so intelligent, or whether she should cry on her devil brain that gave her ideas for being such a naughty girl. But her adorable face won't allow you to scold her.

She answered the call and the voice on the other side instantly spoke, "Ms. Li Xue! Sorry to bother you again but Li Wei has made a girl cry in class. Will it be possible for you to come for some time? Our principal wants to have a conversation with you."

'Made someone cry in the class. What has this girl got in her pocket?', Li Xue thought, rubbing the skin between her brows.

"Okay, give me half an hour. I will try to reach there as soon as possible", she said, and then disconnected the call.

"Our girl is really something. Last time she made her teacher cry out of her wits and now her fellow classmates and the principal too. I think you should hurry; I want to know the story. Do give me updates" The manager said, clapping her hands in excitement.

"She is a devil under the skin of an angel. That's the reason why I call her 'Devilic – Angel'. She has the brain of a devil but has the face of an angel", she said more to herself, and then hurried her way to the school.
