Alexander Being Proud of Himself

After hearing his story, Yan Xiaoran blanked out.

She didn't expect him to be so open to her and told her his story. And what's more, she didn't know that she and Alexander knew each other way back then when they were children.

Even though Alexander had told her with great detail of how they met and how much time they spent together, Yan Xiaoran didn't seem to remember anything and felt it was rude to say it to him so, she stayed silent.

Every time he opened his mouth and told her what happened in the past, Yan Xiaoran's head seemed to be in pain and images would flash through her eyes but it didn't make her remember anything. It was as if the images she had just seen through her eyes disappeared as soon as she saw it.

With that strange occurrence, Yan Xiaoran was left in wonder.

What was going on with her head? She thought to herself.

She knew it was there deep inside her mind but no matter how much she wanted to reach her hand for those images for her to see again, she felt a sudden pain coming through her temple like it was a spell cast on her to stop her from trying to remember what was lost.

Yan Xiaoran shook her head and tightly closed her eyes. She sighed and gave up on trying to think about it or else, she would only suffer from the pain.

Hearing his phone ring, Yan Xiaoran abruptly opened her eyes and saw Alexander answering the phone. He was still kneeling in front of her and didn't seem to have any plan to move away.

With his chin on top of her legs, he used a cold tone to answer the call, "What is it?"

Of course, the person who was calling him was none other than Long Jie who was left in the dust by his third brother to take his woman away.

"Third brother, are you done eating your dinner? Can you come down now?"

Alexander seemed to not understand his words but still replied to his brother truthfully, "Not yet, I haven't eaten my dinner yet."

Dinner? Yan Xiaoran looked outside the window and saw that it was still too early for dinner. So, why were they talking about it?

Long Jie paused his fingers that were on the phone and he was greatly shocked at his third brother's reply. He laughed teasingly and touched his nose, "Alright brother. I won't ask you anymore about your dinner and let you have a feast later. But have you forgotten that you have to go to a dinner party hosted by one of our clients?"

Alexander shifted and raised his head to look at the woman before him and didn't hesitate to say, "I'm not going."

"Huh?" Long Jie raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean you're not coming? Hey, brother. Do you understand how important this dinner party is? All the big shots are there and they are excited to see you that they won't even attend the party without you!"

Initially, Alexander planned to go to the dinner party to see the other clients and people who will be there. The guests who will come to the party were all people who have high prestige and ranking in the society, and those who are part of the underworld business thus, the dinner party was an event he must not miss out.

However, because of the turn of events today, Long Jie didn't expect Alexander to say, "Cancel the dinner party and reschedule it then."

Since the guests in the party seemed to want to see him, Alexander thought that canceling it would make it easier for him to spend this time together with Yan Xiaoran, and rescheduling the party would give the guests some more time to prepare for the party and see him.

Thinking like this, Alexander thought he was hitting two birds with one stone and was proud of himself

But Long Jie felt otherwise and wanted to strangle his third brother.

He felt so frustrated at Alexander. What cancel? What reschedule? Does his third brother even know that he wasn't the host of the dinner party? How can it possible for him to cancel and reschedule the dinner party just because he said so?!

"Third brother…" Long Jie wanted to say more but the other line was cut off already and didn't let him continue.

Feeling his high blood pressure rising up, Long Jie almost threw his phone on the ground. Even though he was angry at Alexander, he also couldn't bring himself to hate him and come up to his room. He couldn't even dare to go against him knowing how scary Alexander could be once he was interrupted.

Remembering how Alexander glared dagger at him in the car just because he interrupted them from their own world, Long Jie advised himself to not pursue the matter and let it go.

Well, since the man already said it, he might as well do as he was ordered.

Dialing the number of the host of the dinner party, Long Jie said the same words that Alexander had told him without leaving any word out.

Inside the room, Alexander stood up from his kneeling position and walked across the room. He tugged his collar and unfastened the buttons of his shirt to change his clothes.

When he was about to fully unbuttoned it, something came up to his mind and turned to a flushed face of Yan Xiaoran.

He then asked her, "I'm going to change. Would you like to change yours too?"

Yan Xiaoran blinked her hazel eyes at him and replied, "No… But I'm surprised at how you can just go and change your clothes in front of someone."

Alexander paused his long fingers and replied to her, "Not just anyone else. It's because of you that I can do this."

Yan Xiaoran wanted to say something but Alexander was faster.

"Besides, my body… What haven't you seen already?"

Yan Xiaoran, "…"
