"Alright, alright." Tang Guanyu raised his hand over the table and glanced over to Wang Li Lei gently. "I apologize for their rudeness, Mr. Wang. I do think you know where we are coming from. It is our responsibility as the big Three to make sure the peace in the underworld to be free from the harm of another Country. But even if they seem to oppose you, we aren't your enemy. And-" he glanced over to his two friends and scolded. "You two knows that we have no single candidates for the next successor don't you?"
"Of course." Ye Xinya replied while shrugging off his shoulder. "Although I haven't yet seen more of his action, I could see how suitable he is as Suan Lung's successor. You two have the sa exact vibe after all." he fixed his playful gaze at the expressionless Wang Li Lei.
Zhao Min cald down the muscle twitching on the corner of his lips and sighed. "He would beco your successor, you better teach him well." Rembering the glare that Wang Li Lei has, he definitely wasn't the eyes of the people who lived in the normal world. He was the living proof of the coldness and cruelness of the underworld.
"Of course." Suan Lung calmly replied. "I'm his teacher after all. So everyone agrees with my choice?"
"Yes." They all announced.
"Good then."
Zhao Min heard Suan Lung's satisfied words and snorted. Having nothing more to say he stood up. "You're going now?" Ye Xinya saw his short-tempered friend glaring at him and raised both hands on the air as an act of surrender.
"He has been like that since young, hot-headed." Tang Guanyu explained to Wang Li Lei. "But he isn't a bad person."
"Ah-" Ye Xinye spoke again when he rembered sothing important he forgot to bring up. "The Choi Head Group of China. It seems he stopped his n from swarming in the capital."
Tang Guanyu rose an eyebrow. "He has found his missing younger brother."
"That's what he claid." Ye Xinye replied, aning perhaps in surface Choi Yeon Jun had sothing else he wanted to do in China.
Wang Li Lei wrinkled his brow faintly and was noticed by Suan Lung. "Let him do what he wants. As long as he hasn't crossed the border we can't exactly do anything against him. It's our pact, rember." He warned and the two nodded obediently.
"Well then, I'll be going now. Until the successor is publicized, we will et again." Ye Xinye spoke and Tang Guanyu stood up to follow and exited.
Suan Lung took a mouthful gulp of his drink and glanced across the person beside him who has started to stand up. "What are you planning now?"
Wang Li Lei fixed the cuff on his hand and smiled. "A revenge."
The next day, when the day of the party ca, Xiao Yun prepared herself a couple of hours before the party started. Xiao Yun wore her dress and choose to straighten her black hair to place golden flower ornants crowning the sides of her head. She didn't forget to wear the crescent moon necklace that Wang Li Lei presented for her and zipped up her dress alone with a little hurdle.
"Xiao Yun?" Yu Yang Lu entered the room after a knock to see her daughter dressed up in a beautiful dress and gasped.
"Mom?" Xiao Yun gazed up and heard her mother praising her. "So beautiful! Is this dress from Xiao- Lei?"
Xiao Yun shook her head. "No, it's the dress from my company." Xiao Yun felt very proud of saying it aloud.
"This is very beautiful! You are already beautiful but the dress really brings out your beauty!" Xiao Yun could feel her face flushed red from her mother's overpraises and saw her mom raising her hand to take out a phone. "Xiao Yun, stand over there let take you a picture."
Xiao Yun obediently followed her mother's instruction and posed for a few pictures. "Mom, where are you sending it to?" Xiao Yun popped out to see her mother's phone but Yu Yang Lu moved her hand from her sight.
"A secret. I'm here to tell you that actually Xiao- Lei has arrived." Yu Yang Lu looked at Xiao Yun's face turning surprised. "Mom, you should've told that sooner." Xiao Yun complained with a little pout and brought her purse to hurry and et Wang Li Lei.
"Be careful and don't trip yourself." Yu Yang Lu warned gently and laughed at her daughter's clumsy running. She took her phone and sent it to the group of the socialites that were close with Yu Family and received a couple of long ssages from the people asking which company the dress ca from and snickered proudly. 'My daughter is growing every day!', she thought to herself. As a mother there was nothing far more delightful than seeing her daughter maturing everyday, unlike how she was in the past, Xiao Yun had an air of a firm resolution. This, Yu Yang Lu guessed must be the positive energy that Wang Li Lei gave to her.
Wang Li Lei's raven hair that was usually kept up cleanly to the back now had its bangs down to cover his forehead a little. The contrast of the black color brought his paler skin even fairer. The servants of Yu Family could only stare to oggle at the picturesque beauty from afar. His cold face stayed on its pace until the girl ca out with her sunny smile and honey voice. "Li Lei!" She greeted up from the staircase making him worry that she would jump.
His gaze fixed on her delicate face having her eyes staring at him. 'So beautiful" he whispered between his lips. She arrived beside him and took the hand he reached out for her.
"I missed you." Xiao Yun spoke as she entered the car he opened for her. " too." He took a kiss on her forehead and tucked the few strands of hair behind her ears.
"The dress suit you very well, is it from your company?" He knew the answer but asked nevertheless.
"Mm!" Xiao Yun nodded. "It's the latest creation of my designer."
Being in the topic, Wang Li Lei continued their conversation. "When will your store be open again?"
"Next week, Zi Gong will be helping to hire the employees for the store tomorrow." Xiao Yun felt her hand tickled from his fingers that kept on running on her wrists and did the sa thing back at him.
"Do you need help?" He saw the girl shooting her head and didn't force. "Grandmother and grandfather have co back."
Xiao Yun's eyebrows unconsciously webbed. Grandmother and grandfather Wang are strict people who had never liked her to beco Wang Li Lei's fianc since the past. Even after he married her, they encouraged him to divorce her and felt rejoice when it did happen.
She rembered to hear that Wang Li Lei's father married a woman with a poor background and thus making their hate for their son and grandson from marrying people who weren't at the quality they deed right.
Even though she was fairly bad at dealing with Wang Li Lei's fiance, they're still Wang Li Lei's family, his last family. She didn't want to have a sour relationship with them that would make a crack in the family.
"I should visit your ho and pay my respect." Xiao Yun balled her intention to make a good relationship with his grandparents.
"If they do anything rude, tell ."
"Don't worry, they're your family, they wouldn't do anything to hurt ." Xiao Yun assured. "And even if anything happens, I will be fine! Because I have you by my side, darling!" Xiao Yun added a teasing tone that captured his heart instantly.
Placing his hand on the back of her head, he daintily kissed her lips. "I like the sound of that."
Xiao Yun didn't expect that he would boldly kissed her lips out of the blues and shyly covered her cheeks to ask mischievously. "Then should I keep calling you darling?"
Wang Li Lei knew her intent on teasing him and whispered to her ears. "Yes. Should I also call you darling?" He gave a long pause at the end, making her ears to linger from the silvery voice.
Xiao Yun pulled herself back a little with eyes accusing him. "Don't whisper to my ears." She puffed her cheeks.
"Then you don't like it?" Wang Li Lei brought up the matter again.
"No!" Xiao Yun felt his eyes following each of her little movents. "I like it-" She gingerly murmured. "-Very much."
He chuckled from her adorable expression and kissed her forehead before moving back to his seat.
The car arrived at the hotel where the party was held. When she was about to walk out of the car, Wang Li Lei gently extended his hand for her and brought her outside. Many eyes kept on staring them, feeling the usual eyes Xiao Yun didn't care and walked by his side confidently.
The hotel was exceedingly large and beautiful. In the rear entrance of the building, there were two large pillars as a mark with a statue of a dancing woman. But what took Xiao Yun's breath was the large pond on the left side of the building. The pond glowed in the dark with the orange light next t the pond, a few gazebos were lighted with lanterns hanging in a line. Even though the sky had turned dark, the romantic light of the lanterns set the night aglow with the lanterns. It was as if the entire hotel and the places beside the building were alive.
As she walked further inside the lobby, Xiao Yun noticed that it was the top hotel of the Capital, the hotel that wasn't under Wang Li Lei. Flowers bouquet and congratulatory cards depicted the word Liu Cooperation for over an over. Curiously, Xiao Yun asked to the most knowledgeable man beside her. "Li Lei, you've told once that CEO Liu is your ntor, but who is he? I think don't I've ever heard his na before."
"It's not weird for you to never hear the cooperation before. Liu Cooperation has always associated with Hotels, museums, and music halls they're not very well-known to other people. He taught mostly about business." Xiao Yun nodded to his explanation to suddenly hear a man's voice speaking to them.
"Perhaps if you don't know the cooperation, you would better know Mu Lan Music Hall."
