Chapter 230 - The Engagement 01

"After going through a number of scandals, the CEO of Skyhigh development, Kong Xianwang is now getting engaged. And he is not getting engaged with just any ordinary woman. He is getting engaged with the second daughter of Mr. Mai Minghui, owner of Jiankang pharmaceuticals, Ms. Mai Yuerui."

This was the talk of the Town on the day Mai Yuerui and Kong Xianwang got engaged.

---------

In the room, Mai Yuerui was preparing to get ready for her engagement.

She has just taken a shower and was drying her hair now.

All her female friends are present to help her get ready. At least it was the excuse they used to enter the bride to-be's room.

In reality, both Su and Ning Tan were lying on her soft, cozy bed and watching the television while our poor little bride to-be had to get ready herself.

"Look at the crowd, Mai Yuerui! So many people are here to attend the function, when it's not even the wedding." Su was gassed to see the news on the television.

"Isn't it a given! When one of most eligible bachelor of the town and the most mysterious daughter of a famous pharmaceuticals company is getting married together, then of course, it will drag a lot of attention." Ning Tan said as she threw a piece of ch.i.p.s on her mouth.

Mai Yuerui sighed at them while trying to disentangle her tangled hair as she saw them enjoying the coziness of a luxury hotel.

"Didn't you say that you came here to help me get ready?" She asked her friends.

"Yeah, we are. We are informing you about the crowd outside." Su said.

"You should know the names of the guest, so we are helping you with that." Ning Tan added.

Mai Yuerui saighed again.

"If you are not gonna help me, then at least get my dress from Xingtian." Mai Yuerui asked pitifully.

As soon as she finished they heard the bell ring.

"It must be our room service. Can you please get that, Mai Yuerui?." Ning Tan said with excitement.

"Seriously, Ning Tan!" Mai Yuerui was amazed to see how her friends were acting.

She went close to the door while glaring at them.

"Get your stuff and get lost from my room." She said as she opened the door and pointed outside to get them out of her room.

"Umm... Sister Yuerui, do you not like the dress?" Kong Xingtian's sheepish voice was heard from outside.

Mai Yuerui was shocked as she looked outside hurriedly and saw her sister-in-law. Even her two friends who were lying like dead person a while ago got off from the bed in a hurry.

"Xingtian, it's you! I am sorry. I wasn't telling you that." Mai Yuerui hurriedly corrected herself.

"I was kidding, sister Yuerui. I have to admit, it's really easy to make you panic, sister Yuerui." Kong Xingtian said with a smile and entered the room.

"I see your friends are here as well." Kong Xingtian said. But as soon as her eyes fell on Su Dan, the smile on her face vanished.

"Good evening, Director Kong." Su Dan nodded to her politely.

Xingtian forced a smile and nodded back to her.

"You must be Kong Xingtian, Mai Yuerui's bubbly skittish sister-in-law." Ning Tan said.

"Is this how sister Yuerui described me as?" Kong Xingtian asked with curiosity.

"Yeah!"

"What else did she say?" Xingtian asked.

"Mmm.. she also said you are a tomboy, easy-going...."

"Hey, Ning Tan... Stop it." Mai Yuerui tried to stop her friend. But it all went in vain because Ning Tan didn't stop.

"And a good-hearted person." Ning Tan finished.

"Hmm... She didn't lie though. I am a tomboy. I love to meet new people so I go easy with everyone and lastly..."

Kong Xingtian went next to Mai Yuerui and hugged her tightly.

"I love my family. So of course, I am a good-hearted person."

"Wow, Mai Yuerui, your sister-in-law is already showering you with affection."

"Of course. Why wouldn't we? She is my brother's wife, so of course we will love her." Kong Xingtian replied while still hugging Mai Yuerui.

"Too bad I wouldn't get to see cat-fight between two sister-in-laws." Ning Tan sighed.

"Who said that? May be you can enjoy it with your sister-in-law." Mai Yuerui teased.

And the four girls started to laugh.

"By the way, I am Ning Tan, Mai Yuerui's friend." Ning Tan introduced herself..

"Nice to meet you, Sister Tantan. Let's treat each other as friends." Kong Xingtian said with a smile.

"Mai Yuerui was right. You are easy to get along."

"I know right." Kong Xingtian replied with a wink.

After their conversation was over, Kong Xingtian finally remembered why she came here in the first place.

"Oh I forgot, I came to give you this, sister Yuerui." She gave her the packet of the dress.

Before Mai Yuerui could see her dress, Ning Tan and Su came close to them to see the dress.

"We wanna see the dress too."

They opened the dress from the packet and hang the dress properly to have a good look of the dress.

The three ladies were stunned to see the dress.

"It's pretty, right?" Kong Xingtian asked with excitement.

"My brother personally picked this dress for sister Yuerui."

"Wow, Mai Yuerui, I must say, Kong Xianwang has great taste." Ning Tan said.

"I know right. It's beautiful." Su said.

"It would have been better it if was black in color." Mai Yuerui's sudden remark made everyone's excitement sank.

"Shut up!" Both Su and Ning Tan immediately stopped her from imposing her dull taste into this pretty dress.

"Enough of your stares now. Let the bride wear it now." Kong Xingtian took the dress and handed it to Mai Yuerui

"Sister Yuerui, go and wear it."

She held her and dragged her to the dressing room.

After a few minutes Mai Yuerui came out wearing her dress.

It was a mauve pink colored full sleeved ball gown with ruffle skirt. The ruffle was not the only attraction of the gown. It had a V-neck collar design. The sleeves we're made of mesh type fabric. The end of the sleeves were adorned with golden bids. As a whole it was a tremendous piece of clothing.

When Mai Yuerui came out wearing that gown she looked elegant. As the dress was hugging her slender waist her curves looked gorgeous.

"Mai Yuerui, you are looking beautiful." Su Dan couldn't help complement her friend.

"The fitting looks perfect."Kong Xingtian said.

"I know right. Mai Yuerui, did you went with Kong Xianwang when he got this dress?" Ning Tan asked.

Mai Yuerui shook her head in denial with an innocent face.

"I am impressed. How did he manage to take you measurements through those piles of clothes that you wear!" Ning Tan said with a mischievous smile.

"Come on, Sister Tantan. They are a couple. They have other means to take measurements, right?" Kong Xingtian said with a wink.

"Oh, yes....." Both Su and Ning Tan screamed together and started to laughed making Mai Yuerui's face turn red as tomato.

"Come on, guys. It's not what you are thinking?" Mai Yuerui tried to stop them.

"What are we thinking, Mai Yuerui?" Ning Tan teased her making Mai Yuerui bit her lip out of embarrassment.

She picked up her skirt and run towards the dressing room to escape from her bully friends.

After she run away Kong Xingtian also bidded goodbye to them, since they all have to get ready too.

--------

After Kong Xingtian was done with the dress of bride it was time for her to get ready.

When she reached her room she got a call from her mom.

"What? Brother is not in his room?" She said with worries.

"Yes. The guests have already started to arrive. But I can't find you brother in his room." Yan Fengreng said with panic.

"Don't worry, Mom. I think I know where your son is." Saying so Kong Xingtian cut the call.

-----

After 5 minutes Kong Xingtian found herself in front of the swimming pool.

Earlier that day, she heard Si ying nagging about going to the swimming pool at Kong Xianwang. So she went there as soon as she ended her call with her mother.

And she was right.

She saw them having fun in the swimming pool.

But she was amazed to see that it was not just the two of them.

Mai Yirong, Mai Yuerui's younger brother and her brother-in-law was there as well.

They were having beverages and taking selfies with different pose.

She went at the edge of the pool and kept staring at those low-lives having the fun of their lives.

"What are you doing here, Xingtian?" Kong Xianwang asked as he saw her glaring at him.

"Nothing. I had nothing to do. So I thought why not stare at n.a.k.e.d boys swimming in the pool." Xingtian said while crossing her arms.
