NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: Engagement
Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu took the microphone and look at each other happily. Mr. Yu was the one who started the speech first.
" Dear guest, Today we have a happy announcement..." His words trail off as he looks at Li Lei and Xiao Yun who was walking towards him.
He put his hand on Li Lei's shoulder and proudly nod at the young man. " Today We will publicly announce an engagement. Li Lei and my daughter Xiao Yun is going to be engaged. "
Exclaim abruptly filled the room, some people knew that they are going to announce the engagement, but there are also who do not. Women who admire Li Lei began to faint one by one. They were clearly jealous of Xiao Yun but couldn't say anything against Xiao Yun, after all, without a doubt she looks perfect with Li Lei. The guests' expressions looked contained and satisfied, some jealous and another person at the corner her face turns dark from anger.
Mei Xing's face lost its colors. ' Engage? With Wang Li Lei? '
She felt awful and couldn't accept the fact that Xiao Yun is above her. She bit her lips until fresh blood dribble from her lip. Mei Xing's heart continues to reassure herself. ' It's alright. No, isn't this is better? If I could snatch that b*tch Fiancee, right under her nose. Wouldn't she feel ultimately despair ?? ' She laugh deviously' I couldn't wait to see her expression when I ruin her life! '
Xiao Yun looks at Li Lei timidly and smiles at him delightfully. Li Lei's heart beats harder, he wants to reach his hand to the girl's body and embrace her. He shook his head and calm his heart down. The girl that he loved for the past 10 years, is finally at his hand, he couldn't let her out of his grasp anymore. At the same time, he couldn't stop himself from wanting more physical contact with the girl.
He shook his head again promptly and balled his palm into a fist. He could still wait for a bit more time as he already waited for the girl for 10 years. If he could get the girl's heart to love him too, he could still wait for a few years although he, himself couldn't be very sure if he could tame his raging beast inside his heart.
They went down from the stage and waves of people gather around them to congratulate them. The wave of people surge toward them and separate the two. Xiao Yun was a bit disappointed that they couldn't continue their talk, however with Li Lei's face continues to linger in her mind, she couldn't help but smiles warmly.

Yu Xiao Yun sat on her bed for a while gazing at the mirror in a trance while wiping her makeup.
The memory from a few hours ago continues to play on her head. Her face turn red once again when she remembers Wang Li Lei's face. Xiao Yun rolls over her bed and tosses the pillows around.
Before Li Lei went back from the party, Xiao Yun went and walk with him to the entrance. She stood in front of his car and disappointment could be seen in her eyes.
Li Lei needed to go out of the country for a few weeks, knowing this, Xiao Yun looks utterly depressed. Li Lei was aware that Xiao Yun was disappointed and chuckles again at the sight of the girl before caressing her black hair.
" I will be back. " his voice instantly brought hope to Xiao Yun's little maiden heart.
Subconsciously she ask him, " When ? " surprised by her own question, Xiao Yun closes her mouth with her hand swiftly.
The corner of Li Lei's lips raises " As fast as I could. "
' Crazy! Stupid! ' Xiao Yun curses at herself ' How could you ask him that! Embarrassing! That's so awkward! ' She hits her face with a pillow and kicks her legs to the air excitedly.
