She is Back

[ Chapter 46 ]

The night has shifted into midnight but the bustling city of Imperial did not lost its light and the city seemed become more lively and radiance as the glows of skyscrapers and stars illuminated the city in the grandeurest glows.

Imperial is famously known as 'The Aurora of the Orient' with the most beautiful night view in Asia and one of the world's top three night views.

Countless skyscrapers are dotted along Imperial's skyline, when all them are all lit up with LED strip lights it truly is a remarkable skyline which many people say looks like aurora.

Imperial is also one of the world's safest cities, making it a real nighttime stroller's delight. There is nothing quite as romantic as wandering through the city streets at night, seeing all of Imperial lit up.

The city seemed lost in the lively of its inhabitants so does the inside private room of De Refter Bar as the four man and two woman was drinking and partying

"Hey guys, it seems someone has been too passionate lately and not holding back as he knocked up his fiancee." The beautiful smiling lady poured another wine to the empty glasses, Yue Ling said as the teasing grin appeared on her face.

Gu Mohan flushed, embarrassed as he shrugged his shoulders. "Um well, actually we don't plan about it and we had always been play it save. But yeah It seems we have to reschedule our wedding before her belly becomes obvious." He said as the happy grin formed in his face.

"Bullshit! How can she got pregnant if you played it save?" Yang Xiu who was smoking beside him snapped.

"She's on her pill." Gu Mohan said.

"So you mean you play it raw and didn't use protection?" Jiang He asked bluntly, busying himself on his best buddy's matter shamelessly. His frustration face was no more as he drank to his heart's content, the hell with his company problem.

Gu Mohan coughed, glancing at his shameless buddy as he confessed, "Yeah, she was on her pill so I thought it was okay even if I came inside her." He did not really embarrassed when saying it aloud because how close they are, he regards them as his brothers and sisters.

"That's why it's important to not always believe on pill because it actually only has 91% effectiveness. That means there is highly change the 9 of 100 pill users to get pregnant." Xia Meilin explained, still clinging herself on the certain devilish handsome and cold-looking man.

There is a blank expression for a moment in that devilish handsome man's face for a moment before it back to its cold demeanor. Long Jinnian was quietly listening to their chat as his mind drifted into something worth pondering.

"Cheers guys! For the first of us who will get married and become parent." Yue Ling cheered as she raised her glass, she was sincerely happy for her best friend. She knew how deeply in love is Gu Mohan with his fiancee.

"Yeah cheers! For Han and Su Xiang." Jiang He was also happy with his best buddy. Although deep inside he was really jealous of him because he had just broke up with his girlfriend.

Long Jinnian stood up and clinked. Despite his cold and icy face if one look closely at his eyes, they will find the closeness in them. His cold demeanor is not his usual cold and cruel side when he was facing his enemies or dealing business.

He shows his cold side to them as the sign of closeness, only with the five of them can he relax and enjoy the luxury of friendshipness. His mind developed into two different personality because of the Long's ancestral teaching.

His true self is gentle and affectionate while his other dark and cruel side of him is also his true self. He treated everyone warmly and he loves his families dearly. But his mind would shift into cruel and heartless personality when facing an enemies or when dealing with business. It was not a secret that the Longs as the hegemon of Huaxia have many enemies lurking in the dark. And also Long Corporation as the Business Mogul is one of the big players that manipulate the flow of World's business, they have many enemies and competitors. As the heir of the Longs and Long Corporation he has to hold the reign, his title without any flaw, in the world of scheming where a simple mistake can lead to disastrous effect.

That is why only with the five of them can he shifts into both of his side. Because it craved deep in him that aside from his families, do not trust and do not let his guard down to anyone. But the five of them is not just anyone, the times has proved their loyalty as he has been with them since childhood, only with them that not his families can he let himself close to them, they are worth to be his friends.

In the six of them, Yue Ling and Jiang He was always the one to brighten up the mood as both of them was a cheerful person. Gu Mohan serves the role of the kind of warm eldest brother while Yang Xiu was the type of a jerk. Long Jinnian was the quiet one and Xia Meilin always do what she wanted to do.

"Han by the way, how was her and your parents reaction?" Jiang He asked. He leaned back on the couch trying to breathe some space as he was not fan of smoking, Yang Xiu who was smoking beside him really got him annoyed.

Gu Mohan grinned, smiling as he remembered Su Xiang's parents's reaction. "Actually her mother was the one who discovered her pregnancy, and she immediately asked me to meet her. At first she was quite angry for the fact that her daughter got pregnant before our marriage but as a mother herself in the end she gave her blessings to us.

Gu Mohan continued, "But the things was different when it comes to her father, he was a stern person to begin with." He immediately shuddered remembering how angry his soon-to-be father in law was. "You knew that I was sent to the hospital a week ago, that was because he had beaten me up the moment he knew his daughter's pregnancy." Though he was beaten up badly, he did not resent his soon-to-be father in law because he will does the same if he was in his place.

"As for my parents, they gave us their blessings and happily waiting for their first grandchild." He chuckled.

"So when is the wedding?" Yue Ling asked, smiling.

"Three months from now." Gu Mohan replied. "And I want some of you to become the groomsman." He requested.

"Sure!" Jiang He shouted excitedly while Long Jinnian's cold face cracked a small sincere smile as the corner of his lips lifted, he nodded soundlessly.

"But, isn't that too fast? You're only in your 25 and still didn't succeed the CEO position from your old man." Yang Xiu asked, earning a scornful look from them.

"Playboy such as yourself will never know how happy the feeling is when one finally settled oneself with someone one's love." Yue Ling stated as she stared at Yang Xiu disgustingly.

"Look at yourself, you're on your 25 and still swap a girlfriend more faster than I change my sock." Jiang He laughed and Yang Xiu scoffed.

"There's no too soon nor too late in love." Gu Mohan smiled and he sipped the wine.

Yue Ling smiled and sipped the wine elegantly while Xia Meilin pressed herself on Long Jinnian as her breasts seemingly massage his shoulder while her hands wrapped around his neck seductively.

Honestly, Long Jinnian get used to women clinging themselves on him and trying to seduce him. Partly because his wealth, but the most of them were smitten and intoxicated with his ethereal handsome face and his hot body. Some of them even seduced him in extreme way as he had experienced being drugged with aprodisiac or sleeping pill many times but, fortunately he had been trained and his body developed a high tolerance of drugs and alcohol.

He was a beautiful man to behold and suave beyond description. As a mixed himself he has the peerless stunning features of blend between Oriental and Caucasian.

It seems the God must really have spent a long time in perfection his features to the point where one glance can make any woman or man fall in love, or more accurate to say fall in lust. Because there is no love at the first sight, only lust at the first sight.

He had natural inborn of seductive aura, the living incarnation of aprodisiac. A devilishly sexy that make any woman's heart melted and sexually uncomfortable as they would find themselves moist and wet because of his presence.

Fortunately or unfortunately for them, unlike the casanova Long Tian who indulged himself in sexual pleasure in his younger self. Long Jinnian was not the type that let any woman sleep with him, it was not because that he was conservative or what. He was a private man and love held over everything else for him.

Partly because of how Long Cassandra taught him to become a gentleman. Most of it was because how deeply in love he is with Feng Xiulan and Long Evelyn.

But he had not expecting that there will be a day when he lost and surrendered himself completely to a woman aside the two of them. A certain woman that forcefully break her way toward his sexual defense and she had wrecked havoc over his heart. A certain woman that captured his body and before he even realise, he found his heart was also held firmly on her grasp.

Another hour had passed as they chitchat heartily and shared their life and personal experience to each other in warm of friendshipness. But then they remembered that was not the reason of their gathering as the main reason is something more urgent.

Yue Ling raised her brows and eyed Gu Mohan as if she was telling him something. The other three also seemed nodded in understanding. Long Jinnian narrowed his eyes as the something was amiss and the vibe around the room became silent.

Gu Mohan shrugged his shoulders reluctantly and gave off the expression of "why always me?" face to Yue Ling and the others. He calmed himself and took a deep breath.

"Jin, I have something to tell you." Gu Mohan told nervously, he tried his best to look at the one he was speaking to.

Long Jinnian uncrossed his legs and his face devoid any emotions. He leaned forward and tapped his fingers on his thigh. "Do tell." He said as he looked straight at him.

"First, we…" Seeing Gu Mohan's hesitation, Long Jinnian immediately interrupted him with his cold voice before he even began to explain.

"To the point."

Gu Mohan nodded, "Three days ago I received a message from one of my acquaintance and we had gathered the information about it. Yue Ling also had contacted her old acquaintance and after some effort we managed to confirmed that," he paused.

"Continue," Long Jinnian said, his voice was deep but anyone could hear that his voice was wavered.

"She is back." Gu Mohan finished in one breath and Long Jinnian's cold pupil contracted.

The temperature around the room instantly turned colder and the wave of emotional pressure seemingly overwhelmed the air as the other five found themselves was suffocating to breathe.

The one they referred as 'she' was once one of them, she was the youngest and everyone used to treated and loved her as their youngest sister. But four years ago something happen and she chose to flight off to overseas, erasing herself from the world. Ever since then, there was no news from her despite they did their best to find her.

Long Jinnian himself was overwhelmed with his own emotional burst. He closed his eyes and his cold face cracked into indescribable emotions.

Long Jinnian seemed lost in his thought as he remembering the distant memory. "You're finally back." He murmured.
