When they had arrived, they noticed that the rest of the guests had also arrived as well. Majority were influential people that w.a.n.g Yaowan had some type of connection with, while others were close friends. Xiao Yunhua was already there, wearing her mask as usual. Neither Zhou Feng nor Xiao Yunhua had seen each other yet, but Zhou Feng had a feeling that the girl was already there.Kang Yiyi gripped Zhou Feng"s arms tightly as though she sensed that his thoughts was not on her. Zhou Feng"s cold eyes flashed her a warning, but she only smiled mischievously and pulled him along.
As they walked inside the venue, they suddenly saw Zhou Lang holding a bouquet of lavender roses. He walked over in their direction with an anxious look on his face.
"Lang"ge!" Kang Yiyi called out happily. "What are you doing here?" Her eyes followed the bouquet of roses curiously. Suddenly, her eyes hardened as realization filled them. "They are for the..."
Zhou Lang nodded, pretending to not notice his older brother"s cold eyes turn a shade colder. He pulled out a ring that was hidden in the midst of the bouquet of the flowers. Kang Yiyi eyes widened in shock. A sliver of victory could be seen in her eyes before she blinked it away and smiled excitedly. "Lang"ge, is that for..."
Zhou Lang nodded and Zhou Feng finally snapped, "You"ve only been dating for a little bit! Don"t you think that you"re rus.h.i.+ng things a bit?"
"I"ve known her for a few years and we"ve been dating for about half of a year. Although we may not marry right now, at least this could considered as a promise." Zhou Lang clutched the ring in his hand tightly, "I feel like she could slip from my hands at any moment."
Zhou Feng silently and frigidly eyed the ring. If he could crush it the ring, then he would. G.o.ddammit, who knew that this brother would pull such a stunt?
Kang Yiyi"s smile widened and she gripped on Zhou Feng"s arm even tighter. Luckily, this man was still hers! Kang Yiyi had even considered lowering herself to befriend Zhou Yaoyao to defend against that woman, yet Lady Luck was on her side! She was blessed and so was this relations.h.i.+p.
"Lang"ge, why lavender?" Kang Yiyi asked, pretending to be innocent regarding that question. Of course she knew what lavender stood for in the language of rose flowers. She just wanted Zhou Feng to hear his brother"s reply to crush whatever thoughts he had about that vixen.
"Love at first sight."
Zhou Lang studied his brother"s reaction and saw that he maintained his usual, aloof expression. What Zhou Lang couldn"t see was the burning frustration that was ready to pour out at any second from Zhou Feng. Four words had completely crushed Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng meant to release Kang Yiyi"s grip on his arm, but the young woman wouldn"t let go. Eventually, the trio walked over to their seats to wait for the wedding couple to appear.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a beautiful young woman with a half-mask appearing with the guests. She wore a lovely dress that was coincidentally the same color as the lavender roses from earlier. He immediately recognized her as Xiahu Yunhua in her disguise that she usually wore when she was performing. Other than him and his brother, it seemed like n.o.body else recognized her.
Kang Yiyi"s rolled her eyes at the girl. "It"s the really popular entertainer. She"s probably similar to that b.i.t.c.h in terms of their awful and immoral ways. You know, I"m surprised that they even let trash come in here." Her reference was to Xiahu Yunhua and the popular entertainer. Zhou Feng"s eyes narrowed at her in a warning-stance and she only huffed. She didn"t understand why Feng"ge would bother to silently warn her to stop. She was speaking the truth, was she not?
Zhou Lang saw Xiahu Yunhua and immediately wanted to give her the flowers, but he paused. She was in her disguise and it wouldn"t be fair to her if he exposed her ident.i.ty. In the end, he decided to send the flowers back to his car to give to her later when they were alone.
Even if Zhou Lang couldn"t approach her, it didn"t mean that Xiao Yunhua didn"t sit next to him. They casually chatted and ignored the stares of the people surrounding them. One stare in particular seemed was so frigid that Xiao Yunhua felt a chilly presence on her back. She turned around and her eyes met with Zhou Feng"s intense gaze. Even though he didn"t recognize it, there was jealousy swarming inside of his eyes.
Xiao Yunhua turned around to ignore him, but she suddenly received a text. Opening her phone"s messages, she saw that it was from Zhou Feng. "Meet me outside."
She quickly replied "no" and turned off her phone before Zhou Lang could notice the name. Her phone buzzed again but she ignored it. Zhou Feng saw that she didn"t even bother to check her phone so he called instead. Xiao Yunhua saw his name flas.h.i.+ng on her phone"s screen and, with panic, declined. She sent him an angry message of "leave me alone!"
"Not unless you meet me outside."
Realizing that she didn"t have a choice, Xiao Yunhua took a deep breath and excused herself. Outside of the venue, she saw Zhou Feng waiting by his car...
