The 3 B's- Beauty , Brains And Bravery

"I do. I know that you like him, Biu.", Huang Ling inhaled sharply, "But if he is already in love with some other woman, steer clear of him. As the eldest daughter of the Huang family, act maturely. Find another man for yourself. Do you understand?"

Huang Biu stared at the man in front of her, shocked. Everyone in the Huang family knew how much she liked Xi Yuan, ever since she was a child. How could he say it so casually? No one in this world could replace Xi Yuan. Not for her, at least. 

"I know what you did at the "Blush" Nightclub, Biu. How could you act so recklessly, trying to hurt the Highest Military Authority of Country X, just because you were jealous of her connection to Xi Yuan?", Huang Ling crossed his arms, looking directly into the girl"s eyes, "How many times do I have to tell you to not cross the Superfamily, exactly?"

"That b.i.t.c.h had it coming!", Huang Biu clenched her teeth.

"I dare you to call her that again, Biu, and I won"t give it a second thought before I throw you out of this house. Do you get that?!", the man warned, his tone high and overbearing, "She isn"t your ordinary lackey, that you can just order around. She is much more than that. So shut up and get your s.h.i.+t together. I am not hearing another word against Rong Xinghe, from your mouth. So just stop acting like a spoiled brat, for h.e.l.l"s sake!"

This was the first time, Huang Biu had seen her brother so enraged. But she knew he had always had a soft spot for Armed forces. He was, after all, once a soldier too. For seven years. In Combat Forces, he used to tell her. "Didn"t you wanted to become the Military Chief too?", she"d once asked him. He had just smiled and shrugged, "Nah! I had to come back to the family and business. Most importantly, I loved working as a Special Forces Officer."

Even today, he missed that part of himself. She could tell that. It was understandable too. They said it was difficult for trained army men to settle back into the boring life of a mere civilian. No doubt he was so sensitive about everything related to the Military. 

"Sorry, Brother.", the girl sighed, looking down at the ground, "I just need some time."

"I get that. Just don"t do anything stupid.", Huang Ling turned around, closing his eyes, "Now go and prepare a gift."

"For what?"

"We will have to submit our apologies to the Superfamily, in person, Biu. We are going to attend the wedding of Media Magnet Mo Zixuan the day after tomorrow.", the man"s lips curled upwards. 

Huang Biu listened to her brother, surprised and amazed. The Superfamily meant the Lus and the Zhis. Didn"t it mean that Xi Yuan would be there too? She would never miss an opportunity like that one. It was a chance to get closer to him.

But the only thing bothering her was the wedding invitation. Why would they invite the Huangs, especially after what happened at the club last time? But then again, she knew how stubborn and determined her brother could be. 

"Alright. Sure."

Huang Ling waited for the girl to disappear from his line of sight before he looked down at the photos in his hands, rubbing his thumb over the black feminine figure. "If this is you, Rong Xinghe, no one is allowed to steal your man. I will personally ensure of that.", he muttered, with a smile across his lips.

Next Night, 11:30 p.m., MCO ;

While the Superfamily was all set for their fifth man"s wedding, Country X was looking forward to its Presidential and Union elections. After a successful tenure of Six years, of governance, the new Prime Minister and President were to be elected by the public and the parliament. That was the pattern in Country X. As the third face of the nation, the Military Chief could only be selected through training. As a result, the unaffected party was given the responsibility to p.r.o.nounce the selected candidates as the Prime Minister and the President. Basically, Rong Xinghe had a lot on her plate to deal with currently. 

"So the new Prime Minister and the President are to take their oaths, in front of you.", Ashfakh Ali raised his brows, cutting an apple into two pieces, "I guess that"s a proud opportunity, isn"t it?!"

"It"s a lot of diplomacies and controversies, Ashfakh.", the girl yawned, shaking her head, "Kind of boring. And a lot of paperwork too. Signing doc.u.ments, meeting ministers so that I can suggest their names to the new nation heads... Trust me, it sucks."

"Now that you put it like that, I can"t tell how happy I am to see you suffering like this. Thank G.o.d! I didn"t become the Military Chief.", the man laughed, "My life was much more interesting in the Middle East. It had so much zeal to it there."

"Do you want to die?", the girl stood up from her seat, stretching her arms, "Cause I won"t mind losing one Hybrid. I"ll still have Nine left, you know."

"You b.i.t.c.h!"

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

But before the two could lock horns with each other, Shou Wu stepped into the girl"s office. "Boss, it"s President Xi.", the man said, handing his phone over to her, "He said you weren"t picking up his calls."

Rong Xinghe nodded and gestured the man to leave before she brought the phone to her ears, "Hey, you."

"Hey, to you too.", Xi Yuan"s deep and mellow voice resounded through the other side, "When are you coming back home?"

"An hour later. Why?"

"You do realize that your Brother is getting married tomorrow, right?", the man sighed, "You will be tired tomorrow, Honey. Just get some sleep."

"Alright. I will be there in half an hour. Okay?", the girl smiled, "Should I order food, by the way?"

"No need. I am on it. By the time you reach my place, the dinner will be ready."

"I love you.", the girl laughed softly. "I love you too, to-be-Wifey.", he remarked.

"G.o.d! Just kill me. Or else, give me a wife. Please! Anything, but this PDA.", Ashfakh Ali groaned, eliciting a scoff from the girl.
