"Sister-in-law!", the girl had just hung up when Xi Wei's hurried footsteps approached her from behind. The girl turned around and smiled at the man, taking the dicines from his hands.
"Could you drive to the Lu Family Mansion, Sweetie?", the girl asked softly.
"Of course.", the man nodded his head enthusiastically, as he opened the door to the passenger seat for her.
The girl waited for the car to reach the main road before she spoke up, "Earlier, Yuan wasn't too strict with you, was he?"
"Slightly. I deserved that, though.", the man laughed an awkward laugh, "Sorry, Sis-in-law. I should have been more careful."
"It's alright.", Rong Xinghe shook her head, "I am trained to deal with situations such as these. Don't worry. I am fine. And you don't have to feel guilty about it.
"Okay. Forget it now. Tell more about what is going on in your life, Little Panda. Anything interesting?"
Xi Wei thought for so ti silently before he grinned at her, "Tomorrow. There is a party. In a new Nightclub. 'Blush'. I am invited there. So I was wondering if you would like to co along."
"Xiao will be there too, right?", the girl raised her brows as a smirk crept across her lips. Why wouldn't she? Xi Wei was dating the brat, after all. "Who else is going to be there?", she asked after a few seconds.
"Well... for starters, almost the entire entertainnt industry. Then all the 'princes and princesses' from the most famous socialite families. Apparently, the main investors for this particular club chain would be showing up there too. Brother wants to mingle with them. That's one of the primary reasons I am attending the event, actually.", the man stated.
"Does that an that Huang Biu, my love, will be there too?", the girl's lips curled upwards.
Xi Wei gasped, "Sister-in-law, she wants to wed your man, you know?"
"Exactly. We share the sa taste in n. Naturally, I love her.", Rong Xinghe blinked her eyes dreamily, "Shouldn't I get to know more about my love rival?"
"Yes, you do. She will be there tomorrow. One of my friends confird the news."
"Then I will be there too.", Rong Xinghe announced, "Make the necessary arrangents. Finally, I get to have so alcohol. The past few days have been pretty exhausting. With all the revenge thing coming to an end, I deserve a break. Hey! I could fool around and check out so guys as well, since Yuan isn't here. So relaxing!"
"Put the phone back in, Little Panda.", the girl commanded the young man. She knew he was going to 'quick-text' Xi Yuan about her intentions of flirting around, there and then. Such a traitor!
"You better be in my team, Mister. Else, you will be dead at. I can promise that. Rest assured, I am not going to cheat on your brother.", Rong Xinghe warned solemnly.
"Got it, Chief.". the man smiled helplessly, tucking the phone back into his jeans. His Sister-in-law would never hurt his brother, he knew that much. He was just going to inform him about the alcohol thing. But it would be smarter to stay in the lady devil's good books. He'd rather stay her 'Little Panda' than getting beaten up by her.

Next night, Blush Club, 10:00 p.m. ;
The place was lively and zestful. The arrangents, naturally extravagant and up-to-the-mark. With hundreds of actresses and actors and business tycoons crowding in, it was more of like a gala. Not so usual party. The music was so loud that it made one's skin tingle and their lungs feel like mush. Over the roar of music, a distant, hazy chatter could be heard. This was so Xi Wei's place, one could say. Partying. It was his style.
Rong Xinghe was running a little late. She had to sign so docunts regarding Qui Chin's 'suicide', so she decided to stay back and take care of that first. Xi Wei and Rong Xiao had already reached the club when they had received the girl's ssage. In the end, they were left with no choice but to join in by themselves.
As they climbed onto the dance stage, the song that was playing got louder, pulling them into the vibrant atmosphere. Gradually, Rong Xiao's hands reached Xi Wei's shoulders, while his arms wrapped around her waist, helping her stand steadily. As their bodies moved in phenonal and relatively sensual sync, their friends joined them over the stage, dancing, and drinking.
"Ah! Look. Third Master Xi is here as well.", a young girl scread with excitent.
"He looks so hot tonight.", her friend cheered.
"Of course he does! He has the genes of the Xi family, after all. They are all smokin' tempting when it cos to physical attractiveness.", another girl rolled her eyes.
"But who is the girl with him?", the girl frowned, "I was going to ask him for the dance this ti."
"Who knows? She seems pretty lady-like, though."
Rong Xiao was a surgeon. A neurosurgeon, at that. Her busy schedule seldom allowed her to attend events as high-profile as these. Unlike Ningtao, Mo Zixuan or her twin, she rarely showed up in the public eye. So it wasn't a surprise that the girls didn't recognize her. She didn't expect them to either. It was easier that way, she believed.
anwhile, a pair of hawk-like eyes were scrutinizing the swaying, and laughing couple upon the dance floor.
"What is wrong, Biu?", another socialite girl, Zhao Chenhua asked, following the woman's line of sight.
"She is Rong Xiao, isn't she? Rong Xinghe's twin.", Huang Biu acted calmly, picking up her flute of Champaign from the bar table. Dressed in a white lace crop blouse and black denim jeans, she looked stunning tonight. Her hair flowed down freely, touching her waist and the make-up was perfect. Trendy, classy, alluring. These words complinted her just fine at the mont.
"Yes. She is.", Zhao Chenhua nodded, her tone surprised, "Unbelievable! But maybe he is just playing her. Third Master Xi has a reputation for that, you know. I am sure he will get tired of her soon."
But it didn't look like a pasti to Huang Biu. She had seen Xi Wei kiss plenty of won before. And she could sense the difference here. Deep down, she hoped it had nothing to do with Rong Xinghe or Xi Yuan. They were just acquaintances, she consoled herself. 'Plain friends. Nothing much, Biu.', she mumbled internally.
But then again, how many won were as close to Xi Yuan as Rong Xinghe was? None. Not even her, and she was aware of the brutal fact. She was just too unwilling to acknowledge it. She wasn't going to give up. Not so soon. He was hers. Only hers.
