Xi Yuan picked up the call , " Evening , Senior. "Zhi Xi : " Hmmm..... Evening . Is Xinghe anywhere near you ?! She isn"t picking up my calls . "
Xi Yuan : " Uh... Yeah ! She is just freshening up in the washroom . Party is over now . About her phone , maybe it"s battery is dead . "
Zhi Xi : " Ok. She is fine , right ? "
Xi Yuan : " Yeah ! Its just .... she seemed a bit upset , earlier . "
Zhi Xi : " What happened ? "
Xi Yuan : " Someone asked her if she ever loved someone. Since then , she seems to be a little zoned out ! "
Zhi Xi stayed silent for sometime . He then sighed , " Yuan , listen to me ! No matter what , don"t leave her alone tonight ! I am currently in Germany with Lu Wei , so we can"t rush back there. You are closest to her currently so.....
" Look Yuan ! She had a terrible past , be it her family or her love life ! She can"t be left alone even for a second tonight ! Either try to put her to bed or stay awake with her ! Understood ?! "
Xi Yuan was a little stunned when he heard that his girl was once in a serious yet terrible romantic relations.h.i.+p . He thought that her past was connected only to the Rong family . But apparently , there was more to her past !
Xi Yuan nodded , " Alright Senior ! I will not leave her alone for even a millisecond ! Ok ?! "
Zhi Xi : " Hmmm.... And one more thing ! "
Xi Yuan : " Yeah ? "
Zhi Xi : " Keep Xi Ying with you. "
Xi Yuan : " Why ?! "
Zhi Xi : " Do you think I am an idiot who would allow a man to take care of my sister for an entire night ?! "
Xi Yuan : " ... "
And do you think I am an idiot who would leave an opportunity to spend some alone time with my girl by involving my sister into the mix ?!
Xi Yuan : " Okay ! "
Both the men then hung up .
At this moment , Rong Xinghe walked out of the changing room .
She was wearing a Maroon coloured night dress which had flower pattern designs on it . She looked just like an angel with no hint of her manly outfit .
But she couldn"t walk straight because she was drunk like a fish !
She stumbled on her feet and was about to fall when Xi Yuan grabbed her by her waist as he pulled her closer , " Careful ! You drank too much tonight , Xinghe ! "
Rong Xinghe was in a complete "drunkard" mode by now .
So , she obviously had no rational control over her emotions or thoughts .
The girl looked at Xi Yuan , blinked at him for a while and then smiled , " Yuan ! I want more beer ! "
" Nope !! You"ve already drank a lot ! "
" Please ! "
Xi Yuan couldn"t reject her request , especially , when she looked so beautiful and those puppy eyes were obviously .... a plus . There was no trace of Lu Xi anymore ! Only his girl !!
" Okay ! But it will be the last gla.s.s ! "
Rong Xinghe nodded her head vigorously !
Xi Yuan took her to the bar side and poured her a gla.s.s of alcohol . The girl took the gla.s.s and started drinking as fast as she could !
Xi Yuan got an emergency call from his office. He picked it up and when he returned back , he saw that the girl was crying !
The man quickly rushed towards his girl with concern visible on his face , " Hey Xinghe ! What happened ?! Did you hurt yourself somewhere ?! Did someone said you something ?! What"s wrong ?! "
Rong Xinghe said between her sobs , " H.. how could he do that to me ?! H.. he thought so bad about me ..... Yuan ! I kept c...crying ! I kept b...begging him to j...just listen me once !! B ... But he didn"t heard a word I said !!! Aaahh ! "
The moment Xi Yuan saw the pitiful state of his girl , he clenched his fists. He knew that she was talking about the man in her past ! He was just irritated by the fact that someone had hurt her so much ! She was such a strong woman , yet she broke down !!! What the h.e.l.l had that person done to her ?!
He observed that she had started to s.h.i.+ver from the cold wind on the terrace and she was so drunk that she could not even walk properly !
He quickly covered her shoulders with his tuxedo jacket and lifted her up with his strong arms . The girl stopped crying and didn"t even struggled to get away from him . Instead , she snuggled up in his warm embrace as if a bird had found its nest !!!
Xi Yuan took her into his VIP Suite of a Seven Star Hotel , which was just in front of William"s appartment .
He laid down the girl on the bed , but realised that she wasn"t asleep . She just kept quiet for a long time .
He placed his palm on her head and asked gently , " Do you want to talk about it ?! "
The girl froze for a moment as she heard the question .
Did she wanted to talk about that ?!
Yes !!!
She wanted to let it all out !!
She looked at the man in front of her . She didn"t knew why , but this man always gave her a sense of security whenever she looked at him. He had never mistreated her . In fact , she had started to trust him . She felt extremely comfortable around him .
So.....she could trust him !
Rong Xinghe nodded indicating that she wanted to tell him about it .
Xi Yuan smiled and took her hands into his as he wiped her tears . He knew how difficult it was for her to open up about her past in front of him .
" Tell me , Xinghe ! "
" So... you know that I don"t have a healthy relations.h.i.+p with the Rong family , right ?! "
Xi Yuan nodded .
" It is due to the fact that I had gone through a painful incident when I was 13 , because of them. It is a story for another day ! But after that incident , I broke all my ties with the Rong family . As a family , I only had my Six brothers . They have brought me up to be strong and independent . So , I followed my wishes and worked for "Youth Team" and "NGO" . I learned to speak many languages. I continued my education.
" So ..... I was in my higher school when I first met him . His name is Zhou Che . He was two years older than me . We were signed up for a debate on a political topic . We both had to debate with each other about accountability of the government to the public. Our debate was the longest one and it lasted for almost five hours . But eventually , I had won that debate. "
Xi Yuan clenched his teeth when he heard that she knew him since her school days .
He couldn"t show his jaleousy in front of her , so , he kept listening her every word calmly .
He wanted to know how that b.a.s.t.a.r.d had hurt her to this extent !!!
He wasn"t there for her at that time . So he might as well help her decrease the pain .
