Birthday Wish
"Why the long face?"Huang Xiao asked,Ru Ai had a glass in his hand and a broken face.
Huang Xiao,Huang Zi Tao and Ru Ai were the best of friends,ever since childhood,Ru Ai and Zi Tao went to the same boarding school,and Huang Xiao was a senior there.
"It's nothing really"Ru Ai said,and Zi Tao got interested,he dropped his files,and faced his friend.
"Tell me"he said,but a bit colder than he would have usually asked,and it sounded like a demand.
"It's just a birthday wish I can't get"Ru Ai said,then sipped from his glass,they were at the pool club,Ru Shi was an ambassador for the company,and the Huang's had shares in the company,so they had exclusive membership.
"Name it,I'll deliver it to you"Zi Tao said.
"Trust my brother,he never breaks a promise,just consider your wish granted"Huang Xiao said.
Ru Ai's face lit up,and a smile spread across his face.
"I want Feng Mian at my birthday"He proposed.
Zi Tao looked like he had seen a ghost,the opposite of Huang Xiao's expression.
"Who is this Feng Mian?"Huang Xiao asked,with excitement written all over his face,his reserved friend had gotten himself a little girlfriend.
"She's a model at the industry,and she's not like any other I've ever seen before,Zi Tao you must have met my Feng Mian before, right?"Ru Ai asked.
"Who ever said she was yours"Zi Tao thought to himself.
"Yes,I've seen her once or twice"Zi Tao said,and picked up his files to continue his work.
"Well,then,my brother will deliver her to you"Huang Xiao said, grinning from ear to ear.
"Why her?"Zi Tao asked,he despised Feng Mian,she was just not woman material to him.
"Why not!
She saved the life of my sister twice,and she's really nice and pretty as well"Ru Ai said lost in thought.
"Brother waste no more time,grant him his wish immediately he might start floating now and we won't be able to get him back"Huang Xiao teased.
"Will you actually grant me my wish?"Ru Ai asked
"Fine"Zi Tao said growling,Ru Ai cheered up instantly.
It was his plan to get his friends his Feng Mian,and now it was accomplished.
"How is your music career?"Ru Ai asked,Zi Tao furrowed his brows at that question.
Now it was Huang Xiao's turn to be startled and nervous,he tightened his fists.
"What music career?"Zi Tao asked,being totally oblivious to the fact that his brother was pursuing a music career.
"It's not really a career,I just sing on Friday nights here at the club,it's no big deal"Huang Xiao said.
"You know how much father detests those kinds of professions,he says they are unprofessional"Zi Tao said,sounding like his father.
"Please don't start talking like him as well,I've never been afraid of what he thinks"Huang Xiao said,and poured himself another glass.
"You should"Zi Tao said.
"So I can be his lapdog? You may be fine with that but am not"Huang Xiao said.
"It's not about that,It's about pride,and family respect..."Zi Tao tried to explain,sounding a bit authoritative.
"That's just Bullshit"Huang Xiao said quickly.
"Guys,let's not have a fall out here, and Zi Tao your brother is really talented in his music,and let's not forget about ME,am the important one here"Ru Ai said.
Zi Tao stood up to leave,his male assistant quickly arranged his files,and followed behind.
"Where to?"Ru Ai asked.
"To get you your birthday wish"He said.
Zi Tao left, leaving both men alone.
"Why did you not tell Zi Tao about your music career?"Ru Ai asked.
"You saw his reaction,they already have no value for me,it will just deduce what little value I have left"Huang Xiao said.
"But I thought you didn't care about your family's opinion about you?"Ru Ai inquired.
"Another glass!"He said,avoiding that question.
*****************
Yu Yan was exempted from the competition so she wanted to use this chance to go search the dressing room of the mole.
"Zhi Ruo,do not be afraid,you must do this"she psyched herself,and pulled the door handle,then crept inside.
The room was big no doubt,she went to the drawers,but there was nothing in there, the wardrobes were all empty as well,she noticed how tidy the room was,it was too tidy,the place had been swept clean.
"She got away, she's gone"Yu Yan Said disappointed,she quickly came out of the room,and walked away,not facing forward,and landed on a hard chest.
"Sorry"She said,and displaced herself,the feel was so familiar,she knew instantly who she collided with.
"Why is he always here?"She thought to herself,she walked away,but he called out to her.
"Feng Mian,I have a job for you"He said, ominously.
"Does he know am now a spy?"She thought, fear gripping her heart.
"What is it?Am I going to be a front cover model for you?"Yu Yan asked and struck a pose.
Zi Tao let out a groan,and rolled his eyes.
"You will be at the Ru family house tomorrow for the birthday of Ru Ai"Zi Tao said.
"Sir,of course I'll be there,it's not everyday you come by such a hottie with a body,of course I'll go"Yu Yan said.
Zi Tao glared at her.
"Mind how you talk when you're over there"Zi Tao said.
"Why? Because your fiance will be there?"Yu Yan asked,prying into his life, intentionally.
"Don't act like a clown and bring shame on yourself,and on me for bringing you into that house"Zi Tao said.
"I'll have you know,that am not only a talented model,but am very classy as well"Yu Yan said,making hand gestures.
"Yes,and very full of herself",Zi Tao said.
"You're one to talk"Yu Yan said under her breath.
"Did you say something just now?"he asked his eyes fiery,Yu Yan hated when he got his scary face on.
"Just don't be late"Zi Tao said,and walked away.
"Um..Mr Huang,how do you expect me to get there,I don't know the way?Why don't you send a car to pick me up,a huge one,an expensive one,with a driver,and flowers..."she was cut off by Zi Tao.
"I'll pick you up here at five o'clock"Zi Tao said,under his breath.
"No!I'll commute"Yu Yan said,she would never get into a car with a killer like Zi Tao.
"I won't have my birthday gift commute"Zi Tao said.
"Gift?"Yu Yan asked,raising a brow.
"Shut up,and just be here"Zi Tao said.
"Am no damsel in distress,I'll manage"Yu Yan said.
"Just a moment ago,you weren't hesitant to get in one of my cars,now what's changed?"he asked.
"The driver"she said softly,staring at his eyes,capturing his attention.
Then realised she was about to start talking like herself and not Feng Mian.
"Yes,when the driver isn't talkative,the ride will be so boring,and I hate my mood being ruined"Yu Yan said.
"Be here by five,and hold your tongue,or I will"he said.
"How do you intend to hold my tongue?"Yu Yan asked, pushing his buttons
Zi Tao came in and closed the gap between them,leading them both against the wall.
Their noses touching,they were both sharing the same breath.
His breath,Yu Yan must get away from him at once, or she would fall into his trap.
"Bastard,he's engaged and he's still playing around"Yu Yan thought.
She pushed him back and left,she walked out, battling with the tears,trying not to cry.
"Zi Tao,why did you do that?Your heart belongs only to your Zhi Ruo,and no other woman. Why would you even consider any one else?"Zi Tao thought to himself.
"I won't fall again,and especially not for that classless, loud mouth"Zi Tao said trying to convince himself.
