Chapter 189: See Who Is In My Eyes?
"It is not up to me." Xiao Yun shrugged her shoulder at Zhi Ling Ling. "What do you say, Ling Ling?"
Zhi Ling Ling covered her mouth at seeing her own pictures. "Is this me?" She asked aloud, giving the three people beside her to reply with a laugh at her silly question.
"Was it fun?" Xiao Yun's words stuck to her ears.
She smiled brightly, there wasn't anything more exciting than what she did before. Although at first she felt stiff and lost her mind on thinking about what she should do, the more she posed, she could feel herself to freely express herself.
"It was! Very!" She replied like a child finally able to play outside under the sunny sky. The expression that she had felt more alive than her everyday expression.
"Can I have that as an agreement to work with our company, Ms. Zhi?" Chu Bing Luo received a "Yes." from Zhi Ling Ling and led his hand forward to go back to his office.
As it was Zhi Ling Ling's first time in signing a working contract, Xiao Yun helped her to read through the contract keenly. It wasn't that she didn't trust Li Lei's friend however a contract is a contract there are plenty of other companies who would love to work their models to the point of exhaustion and tricked them into a difficult position where they could never change their agency or make their working time far longer.
Xiao Yun flipped the page and found the contract was as clear as the sun outside the building.
"If you have finished reading the contract you could sign here." Chu Bing Luo pointed his finger at the dotted line. Xiao Yun knew that usually, the person who was making the contract wouldn't be him personally, but perhaps because Zhi Ling Ling is Xiao Yun's friend or perhaps because he knew how brilliant Zhi Ling Ling was. Which Xiao Yun guessed that her latter thought must be right in the money.
When it was time for Xiao Yun to exit from the building, Zhi Ling Ling talked with Chu Bing Luo of the manager who would be responsible to assist her and called Xiao Yun, "Ms. Yu. Can you rely on my message to Li Lei?"
"A message?" Xiao Yun asked for a confirmation. Why couldn't you speak to Li Lei directly?
"He's angry with me." Chu Bing Luo sighed. "Remember the day when we are at the party and I tricked him into drinking the wine?"
Xiao Yun nodded, she forgot about it for a moment as her mind was occupied in helping Zhi Ling Ling.
"He made troubles here and there in my office. It isn't a big one but very troublesome you see, can you tell him to stop because I've learned enough from what I've done?" He pleaded.
Xiao Yun giggled and saw him giving a questioning look. "Alright, but since you owe me one, don't forget it, alright?"
"Of course! Tell me if you have something you need and I'll be sure to repay what I owe!" Chu Bing Luo's face turned peachy. Wang Li Lei wasn't the type to give a large punishment unless they do deserve it. If Xiao Yun has to say for Wang Li Lei to only throw little troubles meant that he still acknowledges Chu Bing Luo as his friend.
Xiao Yun walked with Zhi Ling Ling at the entrance and offered, "Do you want a lift to your house, Ling Ling?"
Zhi Ling Ling shook her head, "No, my driver will come to pick me up."
From the corners of her eyes, Xiao Yun saw her car, "Then I'll be going now. See you later in school."
"Wait, Xiao Yun-"
Hearing her name called Xiao Yun turned and Zhi Ling Ling walked down a few steps near her to bent her back. "Thank you very much for your help today."
Xiao Yun stopped her from bending down and waved her hand lightly. "Don't mind it, you're my friend we should help each other when time is a need."
"I'm very happy to have you as my friend." Zhi Ling Ling jumped and hugged her shoulders.
Xiao Yun didn't expect that she would be thanked by a hug and rubbed her back gently. She had only thought it was something that she had to do as a friend but to Zhi Ling Ling it was something else different as she could finally find her purpose in life.
"You were also beside me when I was bullied, I haven't thanked you and Nie An for staying by my side." Zhi Ling Ling felt her eyes a little teary and wet. "Don't mention it, I was only doing what I should as a friend."
Xiao Yun felt a fuzzy feeling to her heart and heard Zhi Ling Ling sobbing. "Silly, why are you crying?"
"I'm not." Zhi Ling Ling stepped back and wiped her tears. "I'll do my best." She determinedly said.
"I'll be cheering you on!" Xiao Yun raised her hand for a high five and when Zhi Ling Ling returned the high five, she went to her car to go back to her house.
In the late evening when Xiao Yun arrived back at home, she weaved her thought in studying for the university exam that would be held in only a few days and exhaled in disappointment as she wouldn't be able to spend her sweet time with Wang Li Lei.
But I should get into the top university and proof grandfather Wang that he is wrong! In the first case, who said that people with a good family background or rich background could produce a child with a good personality?
Lin Chang Lu tried to embarrassed her in front of foreign guests, alluding her that she and Wang Li Lei's position are far different. Just by meeting her once, she could clearly see through Lin Chang Lu's real twisted personality.
If it was a normal girl and wasn't her at that time, she would have been too embarrassed for being unable to speak English and soon receive many vile comments on how useless she is even though she's Wang Li Lei's fiance from the socialites.
"What are you thinking that makes you too immersed in your own thoughts?" Xiao Yun heard Wang Li Lei speaking next to her and jolted back when she saw her beloved face. "Li Lei!"
Xiao Yun felt a hand protecting her forehead to notice that Wang Li Lei was protecting her from bumping into a wall. Shyly she scratched her cheeks, "About Lin Chang Lu-"
She had promised not to lie or keep secret from him anymore and replied whatever was in her mind. "Last time she had tried to embarrass me in front of CEO Liu's foreigner guests, so I was just thinking perhaps she's twisted."
Wang Li Lei had a breathy chuckle. "I should have protected you at that time, but you seem to have your own thoughts so I held back."
"I know." Xiao Yun took his hand and brought him inside the house as it if was a natural thing to do. "You don't have to worry that kind of simple trick wouldn't work much in me anyway."
Wang Li Lei felt proud of her confidence and gave a kiss on her forehead as he forgot their usual greetings. "How was your trip to CEO Chu's company?"
"It was better than I thought, Ling Ling seem to also be pleased with her work. I hope she could continue to feel so. Also-" her eyes trailed at him. "-You should stop picking on your friend."
"Picking?" Wang Li Lei behaved oblivious, as though he couldn't discern what Ciao Yun was talking about.
"You know what I'm talking about." She looked at him keeping his usual expressionless look and continued to persuade. "My friend is going to work up under his company, you should let him off now." Xiao Yun felt her throat a little sore from talking a lot without drinking and picked the teacup laying in front her to hear him asking with a jelly tone.
"Does he look handsome?"
Xiao Yun wiped her mouth, she nearly spat out everything that she drank a moment ago. The Demon Lord loves vinegar the most, Xiao Yun noted. "How did we came into this conclusion? And are you jealous of your own friend?"
Wang Li Lei leaned his chin on his arm that was resting upon the armrest and stated the matter of fact. "He's a man."
'Of course, he is a man?' Was what Xiao Yun's lips nearly blurted out. Does that mean he is jealous of all the men in this world apart from Xiao Yun's family? Not that she disliked Wang Li Lei's jealousy attitude, she found it adorable as it means that he's possessive of her and love her deeply that much. But drinking too much vinegar isn't good for him, Xiao Yun thought.
She placed her hand on his cheek, taking his eyes to her. "See who's in my eyes?"
