Belinda was about to say something, but she suddenly stopped because something more interesting caught her eye. She saw Leena walk into the venue with a tall and handsome man. Both she and Duke were surprised that Leena suddenly married this man without telling them beforehand, and Duke kept nagging her, enraged about this. But Belinda never actually met Leena's husband until tonight, and she felt it strange to hear Duke's constant complaining about someone she didn't even know! She just had to get to know this guy first, for he was able to piss off Duke, the iceberg famous for his apathy.
Leena was an edgy fashion designer with excellent taste in clothing and accessories.The wardrobes she had chosen for Kevin and herself perfectly matched. The pink dress made Leena's skin tone look fair and smooth. Pink was a color adored by women because it was light and tender, symbolizing both innocence and elegance. It was similar to white, but much lovelier, and suited people with fair white skin tone. Leena knew about colors; she also knew what suited her best. Her choice was great; she looked stunning in that pink dress.
To go with her dress, Leena picked a slim-cut navy blue suit for Kevin. He was tall and masculine, and Leena was petite and lovely. They made a great couple. Kevin didn't know much about fashion, for he barely had the chance to wear anything besides his uniform. He trusted Leena because it was her area of expertise. He glanced at his own suit and was once again convinced that Leena had a great taste.
"Hey, Leena. What are you looking at? I'm here!" Rain noticed Belinda's absent look. Following her gaze, he immediately saw Leena and Kevin. He called out loud for them, a hint of slyness glowing in his eyes. 'Great! We meet again! But you are now Leena's husband, aren't you? Tonight is going to be so much fun!' Rain got excited. Kevin was quiet and Leena was lively; even Rain had to admit that they did make a cute couple, just like the dress and the suit -- they wore those items perfectly.
"Brother, Belinda, Rain! You're here! I thought you guys hadn't left home yet and I'd have to wait for you." Leena stopped looking around as soon as she heard Rain's voice. Holding Kevin's arm, she approached the group directly. Excitement was written all over her face.
"We meet again, Mr. Gu." With his eyes fixed on Kevin, Rain greeted Kevin aggressively before he could say anything.
"Hello to you too, Mr. Xia. I know we had some misunderstanding earlier, and I sincerely hope we can put it all behind us and start over again." Right after Leena invited Kevin to escort her to the party, Kevin had spent the whole day memorizing her friends that he might meet at the party. That was why he knew who Rain was so soon. However, Kevin still couldn't figure out what had he done to him to cause Rain hate him so much.
"Don't mind him. Kevin, right? Nice to meet you! I'm Belinda, Leena's sister-in-law." Belinda glared at Rain and warmly greeted Kevin. What was wrong with Rain? Why did he seem to attack every one he met tonight? No matter what Duke and Rain thought of Kevin, Belinda found him quite agreeable.
"Hi, Belinda. We should have visited you right after Leena and I got married. But I've been busy and couldn't find the time. Please accept my sincere apology." Because Duke hadn't announced his marriage with Belinda to the public, Kevin hardly knew Belinda until she just introduced herself as Leena's sister-in-law. Nor did Kevin know that Belinda was also Daisy's best friend, and the CEO of the YS group.
"It's fine. I heard that you're in the same unit with Daisy?" Deliberately ignoring Duke's cold gaze, Belinda started chatting with Kevin like long-lost friends. Duke made her angry before, and she determined to teach him a lesson until he realized he was wrong. Belinda would never spoil him, in case someday she had to swallow the bitter fruit herself.
Yes. Colonel Daisy is a fearless heroine! We're all so proud of her!" Although Kevin had no inkling that Belinda and Daisy were best friends, he knew Duke and Edward were. Therefore, he assumed they knew each other because of their husbands. Thinking of that, Kevin was more friendly to Belinda.
Haha! I'm just asking. You don't have to give a serious answer like that." Belinda was amused by Kevin's words. She covered her mouth and chuckled. She was no journalist; why did he praise Daisy like he was in a press conference?
Kevin realized he got emotional, so he smiled awkwardly to Belinda. Maybe he was used to praising Daisy. He overreacted every time when it came to Daisy. He wasn't sure if it was a good behavior.
"Brother, are you still mad at me?" Leena had been studying Duke's face ever since she saw him. But to her surprise, her brother didn't look at her at all. Leena felt her heart being torn apart. Duke used to love her so much, for she was his only darling sister. Leena knew it and she loved her brother. Leena knew she would lose a lot of precious things in her life if she and her brother continued fighting like this, which was the last thing she ever wanted.
