Chapter 43: Best stress-buster !
Chapter 43: Best stress-buster !
" I had more important discussions to do , so, i will let you off the hook this time. " , William said generously .
"You will let me off the hook ?! Pffttt.... " , Rong Xinghe laughed even more .
" No ! My goddess ! Will you let me off the hook this time ?!" , William said as he sensed the creepy tone of the lady devil .
"Hmmm....Why are you here ? "
" I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow is party at my place. So you have to come there ! " , William said excitedly .
"What's the reason behind the party this time ? " Xinghe asked suspiciously .
" Nothing. Its just that many of my friends want to meet you. And i have already checked your schedule with your assistant. So , i dare you to ditch me Rong Xinghe! " , William threatened.
"What will you do ?"
" I will come into your office and tear off my clothes. Then i will call the media and tell them that you tried to assault me. " , William menaced.
Rong Xinghe : "....."
As weird as his threat sounded , she had no doubt he could actually go for it .
But what friends ?!
She knew it more than anyone that these people he was going to introduce to her were the men drooling over in love with her.
No !
No more party !
She had no energy to deal with those creepy pickup lines !
" But ...."
" What 'but' ?! Xiao Xinghe , our friendship is dependent on your decision now ! Anyway , you need to compensate for this slap " , William said as he pointed at the cheek which was slightly red by the slap of the girl .
Rong Xinghe suddenly thought about something and she involuntarily smirked .
" You sure you want me to come ?! "
William nodded without thinking much about the smirk .
" Okay. Hope you don't regret ! "
William was confused when she said that.
Why would he regret calling her to a party ?!
But he was wrong !
He didn't knew that , soon , he was going to feel contrite about this decision he had just made !
...
At night ,
Rong Xinghe was sound asleep when a shadow appeared in the room .
The person came closer to Rong Xinghe and sat on her bed !
" Sissy ! Hey sleepyhead ! Get up ! Hey troublemaker ! Hey kiddo ! " , the man started to jiggle up the girl .
The girl quickly jumped up reflexively and pointed the gun kept on her sidetable at the man's forehead !
"Sissy ! You don't plan to kill me , do you ? " , the man instantly raised his hands and crossed them behind his head like a criminal .
Rong Xinghe looked at the man in dim light , and lowered her gun with a shocked expression .
" Bro Al !!!! Are you kidding me ?! What are you doing here at this time ?! " , Rong Xinghe asked as she sat down and kept the revolver back on the drawer of sidetable.
Zhi Xi : " I just wanted to ask you if you would like to have some coffee ? "
Rong Xinghe : " What ?! You woke me up for this ?! "
Zhi Al : (seriously)" Coffee. Yes or No ? "
Rong Xinghe rolled her eyes.
This man !!!
Okay !
He woke me up like there was an earthquake just for a coffee ? !!
Whatever ! I won't be able to sleep anytime soon now , anyways .
Rong Xinghe : " Yes ! "
Zhi Xi : " Good. Make a cup for me as well ! "
Saying this , Zhi Al got up from the bed and went into the study room where he was programming a software.
Rong Xinghe was speechless !
Did this man woke me up from my beautiful sleep just for a cup of coffee ??!!!
It was already 11:56 a.m.
Shouldn't he be sleeping by now ?!
Unbelievable !
But , it was a known fact , that the ' White Hat Hacker' Zhi Al would only drink tea or coffee made by his sister Rong Xinghe and no one else .
But it could be said that Rong Xinghe was fond of Zhi Al more than anyone in the family. They were basically ' partners in crime '. He was the only person she ever had midnight snacks and movies with. She and Zhi Al was the mini-organisation who had paired and made Songyan and Zhi Xi realise feelings for each other. He was the person she always had pillow fights with. He was the person she had got all her mischieves from !
If her other five brothers were mature and serious , this one was the best stress-buster she had !
Rong Xinghe held her head in her hands and laughed at this weirdo bro of hers .
She then got up and went to make coffee for the both of them .
.....
Meanwhile ,
In the Elite Saphhire Penthouse ,
Xi Ying was telling Xi Yuan about the new clothing brands introduced recently in the market , " Bro , there are two new capable brands in the market , Desire and Petal .Both the fashion designers have their unique style. Who do you think we should invest in ? "
Xi Ying realised that she was being ignored by a certain person who was staring at the screen of his iPad and had bluetooth headphones put on .
It seemed like he was watching something .
It was rare for a busy man like him to watch a movie or a web series , Xi Ying thought .
So , she peeked onto the screen to take a look !
The moment she saw the stills of the video he was watching , she was thunderstruck .
Wait ....
Was he actually watching a reality TV show ?!
Why ?!
Why would he ?!
Then from the corner of her eyes , she saw a young and delicate girl singing in the middle of the stage !
She seemed to be her in her early teenage !
All the spotlights were on her !
She was swayed by her own music along with the audience !
Each and every beat was a part of her !
This girl was ....
Rong Xinghe !
She was her sister-in-law !
Her brother was actually watching a reality TV show which was broadcasted nine years ago , just so he could get a glimpse of sister-in-law's love for music !
Xi Yuan felt exhausted after watching first episode.
So , he disconnected his headphones and massaged his temples .
" Brother , how many episodes do you intend to watch ?! " , Xi Ying couldn't supress her excitement anymore.
" All of them ! " , Xi Yuan smiled .
