He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 381: She's Not Here-III

This was weird, Xiao Yun couldn't contact her and wondered what could have happen for Zhi Ling King to be unable to receive her call. She then thought of Nie An who knows Zhi Ling Ling's parents thinking to call them but when she tried to call Nie An, the girl also was unable to be contacted. All her calls failed. Where could the two be? Like Zhi Ling Ling, Nie An would never ignore her calls. This get her mind to flared up in concern. She had one more person to call and quickly reach for Xue Xiu Yong, holing this time, the call will go through.

While moving in a fast steps, Xiao Yun was lucky to have chosen not to wear heels but boots until the party started which helped her to have a faster dash to search the party halls. As she was in a hurry, she noticed how many eyes were on her when she passed by the halls, people wanting to talk with her for connections but she was in a bind to reply each of them.

Just as she called Xue Xiu Yong, a lazy voice greeted, "Xiu Yong here, what's the matter?"

"Xiu Yong! Where are you?" Xiao Yun asked, "Are you in the fashion hall?"

Xue Xiu Yong drew his brows and his reply was quick, "Not yet. What's the matter? Aren't they there yet?" He was very late but the girls wouldn't, he thought to himself.

"Not yet." Xue Xiu Yong was surprised. "Can you contact Nie An or Zhi Ling Ling?" asked Xiao Yun. She didn't have time to explain and the rush getting to make her breaths harsher that Xue Xiu Yong noticed.

"I didn't try yet." Xue Xiu Yong was riding a sport car at the time when he receive the call, his eyes travelled to find a spot where he would be able to park his car for a moment and when he did, he said, "I'll try it now." the call was cut out for a moment and Xiao Yun prayed that this time, the call will be answered.

Her heart felt premonition slithering to her heart. For Zhi Ling Ling and Nie An to suddenly out of contact and wasn't able to meet, what was the odds? Could it be they are together now and in a pickle which was why they were not able to receive her call? Despite calling many times, none of her calls went through and she didn't felt good about the turn of events.

"What's with the hurry? Did something went wrong, Xiao Yun?" came the cynical greeting of a woman once she took a turn. Her head shifted to turn and find Lin Chang Lu who had come with a black clothed man behind her who Xiao Yun remembered to be her assistant. The man held a passive expression, like a dead, nothing less.

Xiao Yun could tell that her question was not out of worries. Instead, Lin Chang Lu would be happy if something did went wrong. The woman looked proud and confident despite what had happened before and the accusations against her companies where she used underhanded tricks such as the one she had done to Zhi Ling Ling flared up from rumors to news.

"It isn't big enough for you to be concerned with, Chang Lu. Are you sure you should be here? I'm sure there is still many you have to attend for." smiled Xiao Yun, her voice was sweet.

"I trust everything to my subordinates and it is something that have been prepared before, it will be wise if you have prepared it long before the day now." Lin Chang Lu shrugged her shoulders, "Unless, you are unprepared." her eyes narrowed, a glare hidden beneath her friendly gaze.

"Of course. It had to be something prepare earlier, days, and some times months." smiled Xiao Yun. "You are wise Chang Lu and a wise man says that nothing could be wrong with preparing an umbrella before the rain."

Lin Chang Lu giggled at the words she received, "So you mean I have to prepare many times? I believe in my skills that nothing will goes wrong. But not all is like me."

Xiao Yun brought her hand, covering her lips and laughed which gathered Lin Chang Lu's brows into a frown as Xiao Yun has outrightly laughed to mock her words. "That wasn't what I mean. Prepare and umbrella before a rain, it means to prepare for the worse. Of course by that it doesn't stop only with the preparation." Xiao Yun still kept a smile on her lips but her words grew taunting with her eyes that had stopped smiling, "You wouldn't know when a storm would come other than the rain, don't you? I also remember the continuation." Xiao Yun said with her hand clasped and her tone disappeared coldly as she say, "The higher you go up the more painful the ground would feel."

Lin Chang Lu instantly had all her smile broke to pieces. She felt displeased by her words. At first she didn't understand what Xiao Yun meant but now she did. The rain Xiao Yun meant was her defeat and to prepare an umbrella would mean to prepare herself to lose.

"You are very confident." commented Lin Chang Lu with spite in her tone, her eyes held the ire boiling inside she had against Xiao Yun for a very long time. In her whole life, Lin Chang Lu would never forgive Xiao Yun. Until the day comes where the woman would beg on her feet she would continue to push her down to the ground and for the sake of her goal, she didn't care whatever she needs to do. Even if it was an underhanded trick.

"And a very smart way of talking." her voice narrowed low, like a hiss at her as of she was the snake similar to the pattern of the purse she held on her hand.

"Not as much as you." retorted Xiao Yun and the calmer her response to her was, the angrier Lin Chang Lu felt. It was as if pouring oil to a fire, a large flame had Lin Chang Lu to glare at her as if ready to bite her heads off in every chances possible.

Xiao Yun didn't mind her anger, she knew that the woman would be angry no matter what she says and it would be better to set her on fire by her own words which she succeeded in. Then Xiao Yun stepped forward, her body passed the left side of the woman when she stopped and say, "A squirrel never fall at the same hole." Lin Chang Lu's glare at her sideways wondering what she meant by her words.

"Do you think when you trick one person once would they believe in your second trick?" asked Xiao Yun. "I found that once a person learn the truth, they would become smarter in term to judge what was wrong and right. Last time you've use your chance. Do you think there will still be a second one?" Xiao Yun knows the co fused look Lin Chang Ku had, as if she was confused by her words and Xiao Yun didn't blame her cluelessness unless she was someone who had sacrifice her own life in order to turn back time due to grudge like her, she wouldn't know what was going to happen.

Leaving the woman, Xiao Yun resumed to go and when she did, she felt a stare to turn and met her gaze with Fan Gang standing at the back. Why was he staring at her? Xiao Yun wondered. Previously, the man would ignore her as if she wasn't breathing that she noticed but now the gaze was meaningful that had her hard not to note of it because the entire time she conversed with Lin Chang Lu, the man just plainly stared at her, keeping his own thoughts and business.

Taking her phone, Xiao Yun continued to call, her face was covered with sweats even with the room being cold like winter, because she had been moving the entire time. Even as they goes to scout the whole place, Xiao Yun couldn't find Zhi Ling Ling or Nie An.

She turned and asked her bodyguards, "Did you two see anyone?" and to he despair they don't.

Xiao Yun bite the flesh of her cheeks, if she couldn't find them here than there would be a chance that they had not arrived here yet.

Then where were they?
