Chapter 233 - The Engagement 04

"Brother Si ying, you liar!" Suddenly Kong Xingtian came into their conversation.

To be honest, Su was startled by her sudden interruption. But she didn't say anything.

Kong Xingtian came out nowhere and spanked the back of Si ying.

After smiling at Si ying, Kong Xingtian looked at Su and continued, "Don't fall for this innocent face, Miss Su. He is lying. Because I caught him red handed today."

Si ying gently removed her hands from his back and turned to explain himself to Su who was looking at him with a questioning gaze.

"I... I can explain." He said with panic.

Su was surprised at his act.

He was indeed lying.

Su tried to get herself together and looked at Xingtian.

"So, Director Kong, was he the one who initiated the party?" She asked.

"Yes. He is the main culprit." Xingtian said.

Su looked back at Si ying sighed.

"One should never fall for pretty face." She said and she glared at him making Si ying shudder.

Seeing her disappointed face Si ying immediately admitted his fault.

"My ladies, yes, it's all my fault. I sincerely apologise."

"No, no, no.... We will not forgive you this early. You have to make up for your mistake." Kong Xingtian said with a mischievous smile.

"Huh!" Si ying looked at her with disbelief.

"Yes, you heard me right. You have to serve us tonight." Kong Xingtian suddenly declared.

"You are kidding, right?" Si ying was shocked.

"No, I am not..." Kong Xingtian said while giggling with laughter.

As the two of them were busy in their bickering, Su seemed to find herself lonely. She was standing with them but didn't have a part in their conversation.

Su kept looking at the floor and sighed.

She didn't even heard when Kong Xingtian ordered Si ying to bring drinks for them and he left the two ladies alone.

"Miss Su... Miss Su..." Kong Xingtian shook her a few time to bring her back from her daze.

"Huh!" Su jolted up from her daze as she looked back at Xingtian with wide opened eyes.

"Where were you lost?" Xingtian asked.

"Umm... Nothing." Su forced a smile.

"I know... You were thinking about your boyfriend, right?" Kong Xingtian asked with a jolly smile.

Su was taken aback to the sudden question from her. They were not that close. So, of course, she wasn't expecting this type of question from her.

"Umm..." She didn't know what to say when she suddenly realized Si ying was not with them.

"Where is Secretary Si?" Instead she asked.

"Brother Si ying? I told him to bring drinks for us." Saying so Kong Xingtian pointed at Si ying in the crowd.

After giving him a loving gaze Kong Xingtian turned towards Su and again asked her the question.

"You didn't tell me yet. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Su looked at Xingtian then turned her gaze towards Si ying.

She pursed her lips and slowly replied, "No, I don't have any boyfriend. I am single."

Hearing her answer, Kong Xingtian somehow felt some relief.

"O. So what if you don't have a boyfriend yet. Being single is another kind of fun. Besides you can always hunt for a partner when you made up your mind." She replied.

Su looked at her and replied slowly, "I guess so."

Kong Xingtian patted her shoulder and and said with assurance, "You are looking gorgeous today. Look around! May be you will find your fated one here."

Hearing her words, Su stole a glance at Si ying and a sweet smile full of blush surfaced on her lips.

She looked at Xingtian and said mischievously, "May be."

While Su again started to get hope for her, Kong Xingtian was regretting her words.

She put away her hands from Su and wiped them on her dress.

She blow out some air from her mouth out of frustration.

She crossed her arms together and started to talk, "But dear, it would be better if you had dressed up more properly for tonight."

Her sudden remark made Su frown.

She looked at her dress and asked with confusion, "Is there any problem with my dress?"

"No, the dress is really pretty. But... It's not perfect for a formal ceremony like this. It's a little revealing. It's more like a party dress."

"O..." Hearing her words Su became disappointed.

She opened her mouth to say something but in the mean time Si ying returned with two drinks in his hands and out of nowhere Kong Xingtian wrapped her arm around his arm.

"See, this type of designs work perfect for tonight." Kong Xingtian waved her hands to make Sure look at them together.

Kong Xingtian was wearing a champagne coloured body hugging evening gown and Si ying was wearing a black tuxedo.

The two of them were indeed looked like a couple. And that made Su unhappy.

"You two are indeed looking good." She said with disappointment written all over her face.

He felt like these two women were talking in code language. Not only that Kong Xingtian hugging him in front of Su made him off guarded.

"May I know in what topic you two ladies are talking about?" He couldn't help ask.

"Nothing." Both the women replied in unison.

Si ying still didn't understand any word of them.

Kong Xingtian was still not over with her bitching but her act had to put a stop when her phone started to ring. It was Kai.

"Hello, yes, Mr. Sheng. Oh! There is some issue with the guest list?" She was displeased.

"Okay. I am coming." Reluctantly she had to go.

After cutting the call she looked back at Si ying dearly, "Brother Si ying, I have to go."

Si ying understood so he didn't say anything. But when she was about to leave he remembered the drinks he brought for her. So he called her out from behind.

"Hey, at least take your drink!"

Kong Xingtian turned towards him and replied with a smile, "You can have mine."

Saying so she left.

--

As Kong Xingtian left them gracefully, Su was looking at her back dumbfounded.

She picked this dress especially for this event. And she is telling her that her dress is not appropriate for tonight. Su became grumpy. She glanced at Si ying and again her blood boiled.

'I am falling for this man day by day and this dumb man doesn't have any idea about that.' she pitied herself.

On the other hand, since Xingtian didn't take her drink then this drink is his now. By thinking this Si ying was about to take a sip of the glass happily but Su suddenly bursted out and said, "My drink!"

Si ying innocently gave her one of his drinks. But to his surprise she finished the drink in one shot.

'Wow! She has good tolerance of alcohol.' he wondered.

While praising her drinking skills Si ying was about to take a sip but Su suddenly glared at him and ordered, "I want that."

Si ying was surprised. "You want another one?"

"Yes."

"Let me get another one for you then." Saying so he was about to leave but Su held him by his arms and stopped him.

"I want the one in your hand." She cannot let him drink the drink that was supposed to be another woman's.

Say this childish but she is jealous now and she will still not let another woman mark her man.

Si ying couldn't figure out why she was acting like this. But now he had to do whatever she was asking. So he gave her his glass without thinking anything.

And again she took the glass and finished it off in one shot.

To surprise him again, as soon as she finished the glass she demanded, "You have made me drunk. So you have to take care of me tonight."

Si ying was flabbergasted.

'What's wrong with her?'

He looked at the glasses on the hand and thought, 'Is she jealous?'

A tingling sansation sparked in his heart. Seeing her jealous made him excited. As a result he started to smile at her.

But his smiling face made Su irritated instead.

'It's your smile! Your smile is the problem. You smile at everyone.' she cursed him.

"Why are you smiling? Do you not wanna take responsibility of me?" She shouted at him with a grumpy expression.

"No. Of course I will take responsibility of you. Tonight Si ying is at your service. Only for you." He replied gently at her.

"Really, right?" She asked him.

"Yes."

"This time you are not lying right?"

"Yes. I will stick with you all the time. Okay? Does that make you satisfy?" He asked mischievously.

"Hmm..." She also replied with a blush.
