Chapter 378: Teasing King-IV
Sounds of footsteps began to fill the corridor, the sound was in a rush and hurried, a sign that it was Wang Shi Ning. "Yun-Jie-Jie?" Wang Shi Ning called. She had tried to find Xiao Yun anywhere but wasn't able to find her.
As Xiao Yun expected to be who it was by hearing the footsteps, she fixed herself and her eyes saw the smug grin on Wang Li Lei's face as if teasing her who was flustered.
"That's where you guys were." stated Wang Shi Ning when she caught the sight of Wang Li Lei's back as he took a few steps back.
"Everything's alright? asked Qingge who had followed Wang Shi Ning's fast steps with a slow one, making her to appear the last.
"Nothing is wrong." replied Wang Li Lei, his grin slowly widened seeing Xiao Yun's accusing eyes and she found him cheekily smile.
"Good then." responded Wang Shi Ning, her tone didn't doubt anything before bringing her hand to her chest and crossed her hands. "What are you guys doing there anyway? It's cramped and small there, grandma said a corner of a room isn't a place where people should be in unless they came to talk about other people." and Wang Shi Ning narrowed her eyes very slightly. "Surely you're not talking about me, right?"
Xiao Yun smiled, she didn't know such a rule exist, "We were not. There's nothing we are going to talk about you, Shi Ning." Xiao Yun sent Wang Li Lei a look, she knows that Wang Li Lei wouldn't say something along the line of I want to kiss my fiance without being found out as per her request and brought her to the corner of the room. It was still afternoon and her cheeks were feeling hot with the feverish steams.
Last night too, Wang Li Lei didn't seem like a person who would be kind and patient by seeing his beloved woman lying beside him in his sleep and the time when she kissed him in the bed last night, she knows she had perhaps pushed a dangerous switch in him. She knows he was holding back because she would be tired after using the gem's power. Part of her felt grateful and some eager to find out what would happen if they sleep alone tonight.
"You're very pretty today," praised Qingge, her words stopped Wang Shi Ning from chirping and brought back Xiao Yun from her thought. "Everyone have been waiting for today, me too, I can't wait to see the fashion show."
"You are pretty too, Qingge." praised Xiao Yun. The woman was in her early thirty and her beauty still didn't lose to the woman of Shi Ning's age. When the two stood, they seemed like a sister with different age of a year.
"I may have been too fired up with my makeup today." Qingge laughed. "It's not often for fashion show to be held and to top it all your company would be there too and... Chang Lu?" Qingge add her words belatedly.
Wang Shi Ning who would usually praised Lin Chang Lu from the ground to sky, now was particularly silent saying now words with her smile fading. Qingge who hadn't noticed this say, "Shi Ning was close to Chang Lu. I haven't talk with her for a long time. Do you know how she's doing Shi Ning?" asked the woman.
Xiao Yun couldn't read Wang Shi Ning's expression, In the past, she had seen herself how Wang Shi Ning would defend Lin Chang Lu in no matter what occasion and when asked about Lin Chang Lu condition, the girl would be the fastest to answer but now she only gave a long silent.
"I don't know. I haven't talk much with her." Wang Shi Ning glanced up at Xiao Yun and added in a low whisper, "After what happened..." the girl trailed and Xiao Yun noticed her looking up and away from her to Wang Li Lei, seeming as if she didn't want to say a word wrong that could offended them when Xiao Yun could barely understand the reason of her hesitation.
Qingge being a sensitive woman since earlier noticed the uncomfortableness her little cousin was feeling knows that the topic regarding Lin Chang Lu seemed to be amiss and took to veer the conversation, "That being said, I think you are still not ready yet, Shi Ning." Wang Shi Ning turned her face to Qingge and looked around as if she didn't know what was wrong and heard, "Your socks, they are in different colors." which was true. Xiao Yun also looked down to see the socks in miss-match color of brown and black. At first she thought it was a style aimed by Wang Shi Ning though she was not sure if it would work well with the soft gray stripped short dress she was wearing now until she heard Qingge's words.
A look of surprise stayed at Wang Shi Ning's expression, "This is what you get for staying too long in a bath. Bath is good but not for a long time. I can't even imagine what you are doing for three hours in a bath."
Wang Li Lei chuckled subtly, Xiao Yun heard the chuckle well as she was beside him and her neck lifted to see why he was laughing and heard him say, "You're right a bath has its own purpose it's not good to stay in a bath for a long time, especially a bathtub." and as he said the words directed to Qingge and Wang Shi Ning, his eyes settled on her.
Xiao Yun gave him a speechless look wondering what he was talking when she realized how his words ended with the sensual way of mentioning bathtub which only her who noticed this as Qingge and Wang Shi Ning seemed to see no problem from his words.
"Right?" he urged her, not letting her embarrassment and to end easily.
Xiao Yun only sent him a look as if she was looking to the teasing King. "Yes." she feigned a calm smile that look clueless at what he was getting on.
