In front of him, Yan Yan stood elegantly behind the desk. Her two hands were folded in front of her as she flashed her attractive smile against him. Her big, round eyes sparkled and infecting him with a joyful feeling.
She had put on one of the Qipao dresses that Grandma Wu had bought for Yan Yan.
Her small face was looking at him as he stared into her figure. Two small pearl buttons were decorating the mandarin collar of her dress. The white dress had a slight blue tinted color splashed all over it; from the chest area onto the knee length clothes. The material looked like it was painted by hand with motifs of different flowers.
Lotus flower, lotus leaves and begonia flowers were brushed all over the dress. As she moved, the flowers swayed along with the person; giving an illusion of a fragrant flowery smell blanketed all over her.
Shao Yan had styled her hair into a simple ponytail with pearl accented hair tie.
Two perfectly round jade earrings were pinned on her earlobes. A similar shape of round jade beads were also circling her wrist. They were shining so brightly; Li Xiqing knew that Grandma Wu must have spent a good amount of money on these high quality jewels.
His woman looked like she had just been transported from the ancient time to the modern era; just to stay by his side.
Li Xiqing blinked several times to gather his focus back to reply to her.
His lips slowly parted as he said, "I am not single, and my date tonight is stunningly beautiful; I can't look away," and he stared intently into her eyes.
.....
Different shades of red gradually crept up onto her milky face.
Shao Yan pursed her red tinted lips before she countered, "You think you are so smooth, eh, Mister?"
With a soft laugh, her slender fingers reached out to pick up a black ribbon with numbers sewn in red thread.
She offered her other hand with palm sided up, "Give me your wrist."
Li Xiqing obediently offered his wrist, and Yan Yan started to tie the ribbon around his wrist.
"After the new year countdown tonight, our CEO will draw a final lucky winner for the night. The first grand prize to welcome the New Year," and then she lowered her voice, "no one except him and VP Zhuang actually knows what the prize is. I am so excited!"
"En," he hummed along as a response, "so are you still hungry? Did you have enough meat bun?"
When she finished, Shao Yan wrapped her fingers around his wrist and rotate his hand around to the left and to the right. She was trying to check if it was tied properly.
"En, I had one, and I also finished a bottle of fruit juice. I should be good until dinner time now."
When it was done, she let his hand go, "You are all set, Mister," and then she pointed to a chair next to the front desk, "now, you may sit over there, I should be done in about twenty or thirty minutes more."
Li Xiqing glanced at the chair, before he looked back at her. He cocked his head to the right, "I will just wait over there, and you do your work properly, no need to rush."
And then Li Xiqing turned around and started to walk to the lounge area at the end of the wing.
.....
Li Xiqing quickly engrossed in playing with his phone.
He was initially working to reply to work emails, but then he got distracted with the arrival of multiple text messages from his family. Thanks to Mandy, now both of his parents, Axel and him were joined in a text messaging account so the five of them could talk to each other easily right away.
'You met her yet?'
'Send pics!'
'Xiqing, do not forget to bring her jacket. It was raining last night, right? She must be cold.'
'You better send pics! Lots of them!'
'Xiqing, also don't forget to check your tie. Is it crooked?'
'Mom, he's already so old, stop worrying about his tie!'
'And Dad, come on, say something. Ask for her pics too.'
'Dad? I saw you have read my text. Dad?'
'Daddy?'
'Something.'
'Daddddy, not that one!'
Li Xiqing could only stare at the text messages that filled his phone instantly. Mandy did the most texting while harassing him for pictures, his mother was still worrying about his appearance, and his father who was always teasing Mandy all the time just for the sake of hearing her calling him 'Daddy'.
Using his index and middle fingers, Li Xiqing started to massage his temple lightly. He was not sure if this group chat was a good idea or not.
His fingers hovered over the screen for a while, hesitating on what to reply. His head was tilted to the side as he was thinking. This whole 'group texting' scene was a new world for him.
Li Xiqing spent a good few minutes thinking, before he finally typed out, 'Just met her. She is still busy. Mom, jacket is in the car. She can wear my suit jacket if she is cold. And hello Dad.'
And just a few seconds later, the replies started to flood in his inbox again.
'Is she pretty?'
'What is she wearing?'
'I heard the venue is pretty? Take pics too.'
'Is she hungry, Xiqing? Don't let her work too hard. Don't let her fall sick.'
'Daniel, have fun!'
And again Li Xiqing felt speechless while reading the replies. His sister only cared about pictures, either of Shao Yan, or of the place, or of the venue decor. His mother was always the worry one. And this time, his father did not even comment on anything. On the other hand, Axel was the one replied to him; being his cool Axel self as usual.
Again, feeling a headache coming to him, his fingers were hovering around while he was thinking of what to reply.
When Li Xiqing was about to type, he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him. The clicking noise of her high heels against the floor made him raise his head. Just like flowers swaying against the wind on a prairie, Shao Yan walked with the utmost stunning feature towards his direction.
Li Xiqing let out a proud, charming smile at her, before he raised his hand. With his mobile phone, he carefully took a picture of Yan Yan while she was walking towards him.
'Just like an angel,' he quickly typed, before he sent it to the group chat. And then, he pressed the mute button to silence his messaging alert, and put it back into the front jacket pocket.
Li Xiqing goted up from his seat and walked closer to Shao Yan. His hand wrapped around her waist automatically as he stood next to Yan Yan, "Are you done?"
With a soft smile pasted on her lips, Shao Yan nodded, "En, we can enter the hall now."
Li Xiqing raised one hand to rub her head softly, "Alright, let's go," before his hand went around her waist again, and together, they walked towards the hall.
Little did he know, the family group chat had exploded inside his front jacket pocket.
Li Xiqing would have a terrible headache when he checked his phone later tonight.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
