Chapter 229 - Mark your words

Since Kong Xianwang hastily announced the time of their engagement to the reporters, they didn't have enough time to prepare everything.

Thankfully they were able to book a five star hotel in time.

Their close relatives, friends and important business associates were invited the day before the engagement and were given their own suits separately so that they can relax before the engagement.

Both the families of Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui checked in together.

When they were checking in they were welcomed by the owner of the hotel who is none other than Zhang Mo Chen aka Zhang Eliza's father.

"Mr. Kong, welcome to my hotel."

"Mr. Zhang thank you for arranging everything in your hotel in such a short period of time." Kong Aobing said when he saw him approaching them.

"I know you already have heard of Mr. Mai. But let me introduce him myself. This is Mr. Mai Minghui, my son's father-in-law." He added as he introduced his son's in-laws.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mai." Zhange Mo Chen greeted him.

"Did you get your room keys?" Zhang Mo Chen asked.

"Oh we have just checked in. The manager said to wait for a minute since a lot of people are checking in." Kong Aobing said.

"Oh I am so sorry for this hassle. Please don't mind anything." Zhang Mo Chen apologized immediately.

"Please don't be. It's normal for hotels when there is a rush. It's alright." Mai Minghui assured him.

When the elders were flocked together to get to know with each other, the younger one's were busy to look around the hotel.

While Kong Xingtian was looking around the pool her brother came to her and called out her name.

"Kong Xingtian!"

"Yes, brother?" She replied.

He came close to her and whispered to her, "In this whole city, could you not get any other hotel than this one?"

"Why?" She asked in confusion.

"You know this hotel belongs to Zhang Mo Chen."

"Huh! You are the one who blasted the bomb to the reporters and announced your engagement without even discusing with us. No hotels were able to give us so many rooms at that time. You should be thankful to him that he let you enter his hotel when you insulted him previously."

"It was his fault. Who told him to came and try to propose my marriage with his daughter."

"Whatever it is. I could only find this hotel in this short time. So if you wanna get engaged then seal your mouth and enjoy your day." Saying so Kong Xingtian went back to the reception.

"Is something wrong?" Mai Yuerui came and asked Kong Xianwang.

"Oh, nothing..." Kong Xianwang awkwardly replied.

"You can tell me." She insisted.

"Actually this hotel belongs to Zhang Eliza's dad."

"What? Zhang Eliza?" It seems as if she heard a joke since she started to laugh.

But when she didn't see him laughing back she immediately straightened her face.

"You are not serious, right?" She asked.

"Unfortunately, I am serious." He replied.

"Wow. You wanted to have a blockbuster dating and marriage which will attract everyone's attention. I guess your wish will be granted since you arranged you engagement in you ex's hotel."

"She is not my ex, okay?" Kong Xianwang explained.

"May be she is not your ex. But from how I have observed her mind, she definitely thinks you are his ex." She started to teased her husband.

"Shouldn't you be worried that some other girl is eyeing your husband?" Kong Xianwang asked as he crossed his arms.

"Why would I be, it's gonna be so much fun to see her chase after you." Saying so she started to laugh.

Hearing her words, Kong Xianwang curved his lips to form a small smile and he suddenly came close to her.

He combed her fringe with his fingers. And then fixed her glasses with both his hands. Then he seductively replied, "You better mark you words. Don't get upset of I fall for another girl."

Mai Yuerui became freezed. Her eyes were locked in his golden eyes.

But she couldn't interprete his expression. Was he telling her that he has someone in his mind, or is it just a joke?

-------

Han Yefang came to the hotel right after Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui.

After checking in he was also told to wait until he gets his room key card.

So he went to the lounge and decided to wait there.

While he was busy in his phone, his eyes subconsciously fell on the pool area where he saw Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui together.

The grib on his phone subconsciously tightened.

He came back to his senses only when he heard his phone rang.

It was an important business phone call from Germany.

"What do you mean the consignment didn't reach yet? I will talk with my men." He talked to the other side of the call.

When he was in his call the bell boy came and gave him his key.

He was busy in his call. So he didn't even bother to look at the key. He just asked the bell boy in which floor his room is, and he prepared to leave.

------

While Mai Yuerui and Kong Xianwang were busy in interpreting each other's thoughts, another bell boy called them out to bring them from their gaze.

"Sir, Madam, you room keys." Saying to he gave one to Kong Xianwang and gave the other to Mai Yuerui.

"Oh, thank you."

After taking their keys, they also prepared to leave.

They didn't see that after giving them the keys the bell boy went to one corner and got hefty about of money from a slender female hand.

-----

While Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui were going to their room they didn't notice Han Yefang who was busy in his phone call.

So eventually Kong Xianwang and Han Yefang bumped with each other and dropped their keys.

"Oh, I am so sorry." They both apologized and picked up their keys from the floor.

When Han Yefang saw that it was Kong Xianwang, he cut his call and greeted him congratulations.

"Congratulations, Mr. Kong." He reached out his hand to shake hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Han." He also raised his hand and shook hands with him.

Then Han Yefang turned his gaze towards Mai Yuerui. His gaze softened.

"Con....gratulations, Mai Yuerui." He said softly.

In reply, Mai Yuerui only nodded to him. She didn't say anything.

After that the three went to each other's suit.
