Chapter 238 - The Engagement 09

Sophie was bemused.

The guy in front her asked her to be his acquaintance. And she ran away from him without saying anything. But he still behaved like a gentleman and helped her with her problem.

She wanted to thank him but she couldn't find him.

Now when he is infront of her she is feeling embarrassed.

"Thank you for your help before." She finally thanked him.

"You're welcome." Kai replied with a cheerful smile.

After thanking him Sophie again became quite.

Her silence made their surrounding more awkward.

To cut through this awkwardness, Kai took the initiative and opened his mouth.

"So... Is he your boyfriend?"

Sophie looked at him and saw that he was gesturing at Cheng Yi who dancing with another lady with a brimming smile on his face.

She turned back her gaze at Kai and said in clear voice, "Yes."

"O..." Kai again went silent.

After a moment he again asked, "Does he not like you to dance with other guy?"

"Why are you saying that?" Her brows creased.

"Because you are being so concerned about touching me when you didn't bother it before while beating me up." Kai outbursted his mind.

Sophie pressed her lips out of embarrassment.

"That's not the case!" She immediately thumbed her hands on his shoulder.

Is was so sudden that he bend a little because of her force.

"That was sudden." He replied awkwardly.

"I am sorry." Sophie instantly apologized.

"No, it's not your fault. I am the weak guy." He laughed out to make her comfortable.

Since she finally made contact with him, Kai also reached for her waist and said with a sweet smile, "In the end, you became my acquaintance."

Sophie raised her head to look at him in gassed.

"For... For the dance, I mean." Kai immediately corrected his words.

By the look of hers, he thought he is gonna get beaten up in front of everyone now.

As soon as Han Yefang left Kong Xingtian alone on the dance floor, the look on his face changed.

Though he gave a rational advice to her with a comforting look only he knows how messed up his mind is now.

"Only a night is enough to make a woman change her mind!" These words of Zhang Eliza kept ringing in his head.

He brushed through his hair with his fingers out of frustration.

He went straight to the bar and gulped a couple of glasses of whiskey.

Just because Mai Yuerui told him that she doesn't love him anymore and she has moved over from him, it doesn't prove that she has feelings for Kong Xianwang.

"No, she doesn't love him at all." He murmured with rage.

He has seen the two of them together numerous times but he never saw her looking at Kong Xianwang with caring eyes. And that's what made him question their marriage.

'But if she doesn't love him, then why is she getting married to him?' he has been looking for the answer of this question for a while.

And because of Zhang Eliza's words a wild thought crossed his mind.

'Did he take advantage of her?'

"Is she being forced to marry him?" his mind blew up with rage.

"Is that what made her willing to marry him?"

Even if it's not proven yet that that's the case, but only by the thought of it made his mind go frenzy.

He wanted to confront Kong Xianwang and smack his face hard.

"No! I need confirmation!" He gulped another glass of whiskey.

He then picked up his phone and called his secretary over.

After a couple of minutes his secretary ran towards him and asked, "CEO Han, is there any problem?"

He leaned towards him and asked in low but domineering voice, "Do you have those?"

He gave him a sly smile and asked mischievously, "Who are you gonna punish today, Boss?"

Seems like the rumour of his peculiar punishment to those shameless women is indeed true.

Han Yefang was not in the mood of his mischief. He gave him a cold glare making him shut his mouth.

His secretary immediately nodded his head and answered, "Yes, I have them."

"Hmm... If I call you to bring me a couple of drinks then mix that in one of those and give that to the person I will be talking with."

"Okay, Boss."

After his secretary left Han Yefang took a small sip from his glass and got lost in his thoughts.

'I hope I don't have to use it.'

--------

Oh my goodness what a hassle it bacame.

Both of them were surrounded by each others relatives.

The aunties and cousins of Kong Xianwang drowned Mai Yuerui with their non-stop questions.

One after another making Mai Yuerui tired only by talking with them.

So does happened with Kong Xianwang. The only difference is that the female cousins of Mai Yuerui were nonstop flirting with him.

When the crowd became less dense around him, he took that opportunity and sneaked out of the hall.

He went to the lounge adjacent to the hall and took a seat on the sofa.

"Phew, weddings are sure quite a hassle." He sighed.

"The party has just started and you are already tired?" Kong Xianwang heard a familiar voice.

He turned behind and saw Han Yefang tucking his hands in his pocket. He had a dark expression plastered on his face.

"Mr. Han. I am afraid I didn't get to greet you before." Kong Xianwang replied formally.

"No need for formalities, Mr. Kong." He curved his lips slightly to force a smile and took a seat in front of him.

"Is the party to your liking, Mr. Han?" Kong Xianwang asked.

"Parties really don't attract my interest. It's all just business." He bluntly replied.

Hearing his answer Kong Xianwang smirked.

"But it's your friends engagement after all." He exaggerated the word 'friend'.

"Friend?" Han Yefang murmured the word. His eyes were fixed on his right hand as his fingers were brushing each other.

"We are really happy that you came to give us your blessings." Kong Xianwang said with a smile. He is in a very good mood today. He doesn't wanna foul his mood now. He only hopes this guy in front of him will do that as well.

Han Yefang raised his head and looked at Kong Xianwang.

"Well if you are calling me as her friend then I will make myself comfortable." He said calmly.

"Of course." Kong Xianwang pressed his lips to make a smile.

"Since we are dropping formalities then may I ask how you and Mai Yuerui met?"

Kong Xianwang knew that he can be asked this question by anyone. So he is prepared. And the answer is being truthful.

"We met in our office. She was working under me. And by the time we spend together made us close with each other and bloomed our feelings into love."

"Love!" Han Yefang suddenly laughed. But his laugh contained his pain as well.

"Do you really thinks she loves you?" Han Yefang suddenly asked.

Han Yefang's usual cool mind is not with him anymore.

"Why are you asking me this suddenly?" Kong Xianwang frowned.

Even though Kong Xianwang knows that he is yet to get Mai Yuerui's heart but Han Yefang's question made his mood spoil.

'Is he deliberately instigating me?' he thought.

"I am her FRIEND, right? So I am being worried of her. That's all." He exaggerated the word 'Friend'.

"Oh. That's really thoughtful of you. Then Brother Han, please don't worry. I will take good care of her. And you don't have to worry about our relationship." After finishing his words Kong Xianwang faked a surprised expression and added, "Oh! Did I just address you as brother? Actually you seemed like Mai Yuerui's brother to me. So I subconsciously called you brother."

He instigated him first. So he can't blame him for his act.

The clench on Han Yefang's fist tightened.

He coldly replied, "I would like it if you just call me Mr. Han."

"Sure." Kong Xianwang replied with a smirk.

"You guys are getting married in quite a hurry. May I know the reason? I asked Mai Yuerui but she didn't tell me." Han Yefang casually lied.

"You asked her?" Kong Xianwang raised his brows.

"Yes."

Kong Xianwang gave out a chuckle and replied, "May be she was uncomfortable to tell you."

"Uncomfortable?" Han Yefang's brows creased.

Kong Xianwang gave out a shy smile and said, "It's just that our feelings for each other has grew so much that we can't live without each other." He delibarately said in a teasing voice.

'Bastard!' Han Yefang cursed him inwardly.

Han Yefang clenched his fist and asked what he really wanted to know.

"If you guys are this close then may be you are intimate too."

Kong Xianwang was actually shocked to hear his question.

He didn't really understand why this guys is on the nerves today.

It would be a lie if he says that he is not jealous of Han Yefang. He is her first love after all. Of course, he would be jealous.

And it's that jealousy that is making Kong Xianwang say whatever he wants to say to Han Yefang.

So, Kong Xianwang again didn't think twice and said bluntly, "That's a very personal question, Mr. Han. May be you shouldn't ask that." His reply was formal but his expression made his answer look affirmative to Han Yefang's question.
