14 Chapter 14 : The After Effect

After the party, Li Lei propped his chin with his hand and a laptop on his lap. His cold eyes were unusually heated. A memory played through his mind. 

Before the announcement, he went to search for Xiao Yun to call her. Li Lei stops his step and saw her talking with a girl. Subconsciously he didn't call Xiao Yun and eavesdrops her conversation.  

 " Xiao Yun, do you have feelings for Wang Li Lei ? " ask the other girl.

His ears twitched and his heart feels tingly. It was akin to waiting a death sentence, a word from the girl could turn his world up-side-down. Li Lei's heart rate raises he could feel his blood moving back and the time slowing down as if everything was moving in a slow-motion.

Xiao Yun, " Umm... I think so.. "  

The girl's answer doesn't confirm that she has feeling for him, but it also confirms the fact that he still has a chance! 

Mei Xing, " But, what about Hong Yan Xun? "

His eyes turns chilly all of a sudden, a man name came in their conversation. From the tone that's being used by the other girl, it seems that Xiao Yun had a past fling with that man. He frowned in anger.

Xiao Yun, " What about him? "

Mei Xing, " Don't you like Him? " 

Xiao Yun, " I like Hong Yan Xun? No way! When did I say that? "

Li Lei sigh in relief when he heard Xiao Yun's answer. He taps his laptop before saying to a man who was sitting next to the chauffeur

His eyes turned terrifyingly chilly " Do a background check on Hong Yan Xun " 

" Yes, sir. " He took Li Lei's order and nodded.

A sudden image of Xiao Yun flashed on his mind and his cold face lets out a loving and charming smile. The man and the chauffeur gasps subconsciously, they were stupefied. They both have the exact same thought, ' The master just smiled !! '. 

Li Lei hold something out of his pocket. He pulls out a lace handkerchief with a small embroidered initial. He looked at the initial passionately and his heated gaze stop at it, the initial was X.Y. 

Li Lei view the night sky and went back in trance, his eyes glittered as he lightly put his lips to the handkerchief. ' Xiao Yun, I wonder if you remember ? That day when we first met ? 10 years ago ?'

Meanwhile, Mrs. Yu knocked on her daughter's door. " Xiao Yun? " 

Xiao Yun paces her feet towards the door and opens it before answering. " Yes, mom ? " 

Mrs. Yu, " No, It's nothing I just want to remind you. I put all your presents in the next room, be sure to take open them all ." 

Xiao Yun links her index fingers and she asks her mother hesitantly. " Mom...um... Li Lei's present, where did you put it ? " she looks at her mom nervously.

Her mom chuckled mischievously " I will tell Old Xue later to take his present to you. " 

( * Old Xue is the head maid  )

" Mom, don't tease me! And thank you please do so. " Answer Xiao Yun.

After Mrs. Yu went back from her room, Old Xue brought Li Lei's present to Xiao Yun. 

Xiao Yun opens the small blue gift carefully. A small bright red box containing a crescent-shaped moon necklace and a small card.

She read the card and her face became even warmer than a freshly-steamed steam bun! 

A hand-letter containing beautiful yet strong strokes of words : 

' Whenever I lay my eyes on crescent moon, I remember you. I hope you will like the gift, Wang Li Lei. '
