It had been almost eleven months since Xi Yuan had met Rong Xinghe now .
They both had started to understand each other pretty well . Even the slightest of the action of each person was noted by the other one reflexively. Xi Yuan knew almost everything about Rong Xinghe excluding her past .
He had left that for Rong Xinghe to tell him herself and had decided to respect her privacy .
Rong Xinghe also knew about it and she naturally appreciated Xi Yuan's decision . It was hard to find a man like this .
Regardless of what was happening in their lives , the Xi siblings and William along with the entire Youth Team members were excited for one particular thing .
Rong Xinghe and Rong Xiao's birthday was coming soon . The Rong twins were born on October 9 .
They both hadn't celebrated their birthday together since past seven years as Rong Xiao had been in Australia for her education while Rong Xinghe was in Country X , as she underwent the Military Chief training .
Since both the sisters were together now , it was only right for the Youth Team to organize a magnificent birthday banquet for them .
Xi Yuan obviously , was a part of this event management procedure . His woman was turning 23 soon , after all .
Rong Xinghe and Rong Xiao had a rough idea about what was happening but they didn't bothered looking into the matter . They both had their own work to handle and they had complete confidence on their friends' enthusiasm .

Three days before the Rong twins' birthday , Xi Yuan , Xi trio and William were sitting in the garden of Youth Team NGO and were discussing event details with an event organizer .
After sometime , Lu Wei and Zhi Bo entered the garden and gestured the organizer to leave the place before they sat down on the couch opposite the five people .
"So you guys are planning Xinghe and Xiao's birthday ?", Lu Wei asked as he picked up a juice glass .
William nodded .
" Guys ... it has always been like this . Youth team has been planning and celebrating their birthday for years now. And we have no issues with it . You guys always come up with more creative ideas . We just have one request for you all .", Zhi Bo said.
"What is it , Senior Lu ?", Xi Yuan looked at Lu Wei . He knew that whatever these men were going to say , it was an important matter related to the girl .
" We would appreciate it if her 'family' is not mentioned during the entire period . It has been tough for her to accept the past . ", Lu Wei smiled bitterly .
The five people remained silent for sometime before they nodded their heads in approval . None of them had any idea about what the Rong family had done to Rong Xinghe ten years ago but they knew that it was the most dreadful part of her life .
Although , her past was what had made her what she was today , some wounds were better left untouched . She needed time to heal from that .
Xi Yuan , obviously , understood the concerns of the men .
When Rong Xinghe had fainted in the Lu family mansion , he had got a rough idea about the insensitivity of Rong family towards his woman . He was obviously going to ensure that that family wouldn't be mentioned throughout the entire night even once.

The two men got up from their seats and walked out of the NGO garden after they got the reassurance from the girl's friends .
"What do you think ? Will she go to Country I this year as well ? ", Zhi Bo looked at Lu Wei.
" Hopefully , she won't . Maybe she will forget that incident as Rong Xiao has returned back . ", Lu Wei shrugged .
" Poor child. She left behind the Rong family , but ... "
" ... but couldn't leave behind the painful memories . ", Lu Wei sighed ," Wounds given by the people you once considered family always hurts the most Bo . She had tried so hard to impress and make the Rongs proud of her since she was a child. But what happened in the end ? "
" Aaarghh ! I hate those bastards ! ", Zhi Bo clenched his teeth .
"We all hate that family more than even Xinghe does . They had practically killed our lady-luck back then , Bo . But we can't be too impulsive . Although Xinghe doesn't care even if we burn that shameful lot alive , we do. ", Lu Wei patted the man's shoulder .
" Exactly ! Nothing can hurt those bloody psychos more than our Xinghe's success . Look where she is today . Her position can easily oppress the entire Rong clan now. ", Zhi Bo said proudly .
Lu Wei smiled .
Ten years ago , the six men had thought of multiple ways to destroy the Rongs but they eventually realized that only Rong Xinghe had the right to write their destiny .
Even if the Rongs were to be killed , their kiddo would be the one to be holding the gun !
But as the time passed by , Rong Xinghe's hatred for the Rong family increased so much that she didn't even wanted to see their faces . At that time , Lu Wei and Zhi Xi had went with the option of business oppression . The Rong Corporation had suffered heavy losses under the leadership of their CEO Rong Yufan at that time .
The Rong Family was affected so adversely that they had to leave Country X and settle abroad . But even then , the six men didn't go easy on the morons . Almost every second day , Rong family's scandals were being released one after the other in front of the world .
What more was expected from the black-bellied and ruthless 'Media Magnet' Mo Zixuan ? The level of influence he had in the world of journalism was simply unparalleled .
One day , the scandal of the third miss of Rong family being a mistress of an old man would be released and the other day , the matter of second master of Rong family being a drug addict would be released .
If these past ten years had been hard for Rong Xinghe , then they had been a trauma for the entire Rong family .
While the Rong family kept on going through their downfall , Rong Xinghe was completely unaffected by it .
After all , her every path was carefully planned by her six pillars of strength , love and support .They had marked a clear line between Rong Xinghe and Rong family when they had taken over the custody of the girl ten years ago .
Almost entire Country X had accepted the fact that Rong Xinghe was literally brought up by these six men and not the Rong family .
Rong Xinghe's incident ten years ago had been quite a controversy then .
Xi Yuan had a rough idea about it as he was living in Country X at that time and this incident was a headline on every news channel . But the man was himself going through the most difficult phase of his life . He was also not acquainted with Lu Wei and Zhi Xi during that time . It was only normal for him to not take note of the incident .
But today , he regretted that he was not there for her when she needed every support she could get .
