Art Exhibit
Xu Jia Li started to move her head side to side as her eyes wandered all around the room. She scanned the room waiting for a particular face, eager to finally begin the night with some flare and excitement. She had been waiting for this day to happen. She sneered inside as she saw the face she had been looking for.
Earlier when she agreed for Si Weimin to be with her, she knew that she had no way from hiding everything from him. She knew that one way or another, she had to begin telling him her plan.
She would like to do it slowly, afraid that he would not understand her – afraid that he would find her unreasonable, cunning and scheming. His opinion somehow mattered to her more than she acknowledged herself. She formed that mentality that Si Weimin would always be a part of her life.
The span of time they had been together, though still short, created a bond that even Xu Jia Li could not explain, it may be unfathomable yet she was blissful. She knew things might be hard to decipher now, it made her a little scared thus apprehension settled in. However, all she knew was that Si Weimin was very important in her life.
When he said earlier that he would be her escort, she was excited beyond words. However, the issue about the two of them were still unsettled. When Si Weimin said goodbye to her, Shen Linqin and Zhen Nian helped her get ready for the art exhibit.
The dress Shen Linqin picked for her was a halter body-hugging black mermaid-cut dress. The texture of the dress was very soft which made Xu Jia Li looked even more appealing and sexy. It was very simple but gave the feeling of elegance and sophistication.
She donned it with a pair of Christian Louboutin black stilettos that made her beautiful physique even more outstanding.
Her hair had been let loose, making her look like a goddess directly descended from heaven. She gave off the aura of a fresh, young looking lady – innocent with a hint of mystery and charm.
Zhen Nian only put a very light make up on her. However, she also focused on Xu Jia Li's autumn colored eyes as she made it look smoky and feisty.
When Si Weimin picked her up, she saw admiration clearly written on his face. He kissed her lightly on the lips as he greeted her. She felt him held her hand as their fingers intertwined.
They stayed holding each others' hand until Si Weimin opened the door for her. When they were inside the car, he reached at the backseat and grabbed a bouquet of stargazers. Her eyes grew big as she received the flowers.
She had always loved this flower as much as she loved roses. She gazed at him with eyes full of wonder.
"Beautiful as stargazers..." instead of answering her questioning gaze, Si Weimin muttered under his breath, his eyes not leaving her.
"It seems you know everything about me – the things that I love, most especially. CEO Si is really capable." Xu Jia Li teased him as she bowed her head to admire the flowers in her hands.
"You look so beautiful tonight like these flowers. I couldn't take my eyes off of you. I'm afraid I can't hold on to my promise of pretending to not know you."
