Chapter 82 - 79..become stronger...

ZiXuan had a huge grin on his face; as a punishment of making him wait and not attending to him, plus forgetting to take lunch with him, he forced Meilin to feed him.

There were no extra chopsticks as Meilin had intended to drink some coffee and eat some sandwiches for her lunch, which she had of course forgotten, ZiXuan forced her to eat with the same chopsticks, he was fed one bite and then she took one bite, finally, they also shared the sandwiches, or as ZiXuan defined it, shared lots of indirect kisses.

ZiXuan saw her washing the containers with a deep blush, feeling smug about it he went and hugged her from the back, he gave a soft peck on her cheek and said, "Shall we visit the last of the companies before we go out to meet them?"

Hearing him mention 'them', Meilin who previously had a deep flush felt like cold water was poured on her, she actually had a lot to ask...

She wanted to ask him if all the rumours were true?

Was..he.....really going out with 'her'?

She knew 'her' being his fiancee was absurd, any such arrangement was bound to go by her if it occurred in the family, as arrogant as it may sound, there is possibly no way for an engagement to occur in the family without her consent, she was not going to allow in her family without knowing and that too if it was Xuanxuan, there was no way she wouldn't know!

The storm that has been rising in her heart since she found about the rumoured fiancee was about to wreck havoc, controlling it was hard for her....too hard for her.

'Xuanxuan, who is she to you?', she looked at his back.

.............

Xun Luli, who was accompanied by Nian Xi, bought a CHANEL evening gown, being a model she had a good posture and body, the velvet fishtail gown in black with vines created by delicate diamonds and gems stitched onto the dress, created a beautiful contrast against her milky skin. She accompanied it with a TIFFANY pendant and her favourite PRADA stilettos.

She had her own makeup artist, who was renowned to have a magic touch in his hand, give a delicate touch to it, the exaggerated highlighter with soft glitter on her pronounced cheekbones and smoky makeup may have made someone look gaudy but maybe it was because he had a magic touch and that she had her own aura, it made her look sexy and mesmerising.

Today she was in the Xun's mansion and will go with her father.

Checking herself for the nth time, she went down the stairs where her family was waiting to see both of them off.

Her family looked dazed and proud at the same time when she walked slowly down the staircase if anything, she still was a supermodel after all and the next 'mistress' of the QINs!!!

"You look outstanding, my daughter!", the current patriarch of Xun complimented her daughter.

Xun Luli blushed a little and said, "Don't tease me, papa."

Everyone laughed.

As both made their way towards the venue, a high-end French Restaurant, which was very close to the QMX building, the heartbeat of Luli heightened, "Finally.....I wonder if ZiXuan will be happy? Will he say that I look pretty or maybe---", imagining all sorts of scenarios Xun Luli's face warmed up.....

The wait was killing her.

...........................

Finally, they were done visiting all the companies, but no matter how strong they were, it still took a toll on them.

When they reached the penthouse at the QMX, it was already 19:00

The dinner meeting was at 20:30, so they had around another hour.

Just after entering the room, Xuanxuan without a care of his image, plopped on the bed and whined like a brat, "Linlin...Linlin...Linlin....I'm so so so so sooo tired!!! I want to sleep!"

It was very unusual for him to do such a thing, Meilin who was startled by his conduct suddenly felt that a headache was coming, so much so that she forgot her own internal turmoil!

Though they could postpone the dinner, doing it now won't suit their image and the conduct of Qins, she felt that he was just very tired and his tantrum was just his way of killing his stress.

Well, they still had some time so, she let him be and wanted to go to the kitchen to squeeze some fresh juice for him, it will help him relax after all.

But before she could even take a step away from his side at the bed, where she had sat down because he was holding her hand, a shadow which was supposed to be whining came from behind and clung to her, "Linlin, you are so mean! I said, I'm tired! Still, you are not comforting me!! I knew it no one cares about me, even Linlin is ignoring me!", he was sulking with all his strength.

Meilin, whose nerves were about to burst open because of his sudden outpour of nonsense, took a hold of his paws and the next second she had locked them behind him and pushed him onto the bed.

ZiXuan, who was attacked without even a moment to think and defend himself, let out a whimper, "mm...Lin----lin?"

He didn't get a single reply,"..........."

"ha—ha ....ha....ha, it seems Secretary Qin became stronger than the last time.....?", he was actually panicking, when fighting the both of them didn't restrain themselves even if the opponent was the other, it would be disrespecting them and it was a fact that because they had fought till breaking the other's bones once, they were very close, as absurd as it may sound it was true as there was once a time when they had fought so hard that both of them were covered in bruises and broken bones in all parts except their faces... .....

But it was also a fact that Meilin had about two wins over ZiXuan, the didn't fight when he first came but by their early teens, it had become a ritual for them to fight in front of the security forces of the Qins to show them who they were protecting, ZiXuan had ties with her, but had never won, not even once...

It has been 5 years since they last fought, when ZiXuan was praising her, he was also using his full force to shake her up who had a knee on his back and her hand holding his in a lock, but she didn't budge....it was not a joke when he said she had gotten stronger.

"mm", Meilin let out a soft voice, it was an affirmation of what he said, but hearing this soft whisper which usually would have felt like a feather scratching his heart, he felt a jolt running down his spine as all his body hair stood up....
