Ling Yue woke up with a complicated feeling. She was not sad or happy when Ling Feng said she could do what she wanted. He didn't say that specifically, but she could interpret it that way, right?
She dresses up like before, only the bangs she let left sideways. Ling Yue ran into Ling Huansheng when she was about to enter the dining room. Seeing Ling Yue's bangs, Ling Huansheng wanted to say something. But remembering he was having a cold war with Ling Yue, he tried to ignore it. Ling Yue on the other hand blocked his younger brother.
"Wha-- Ouch!" Ling Huansheng bent down, hugging his stomach.
"Woah! Nice blow!" Ling Huang patted Ling Yue's shoulder proudly. Ling Huang had just returned from a long operation that night. He wanted to lay down on his bed immediately. His steps stopped when he saw his two younger siblings confronting face to face. He almost clapped his hands when Ling Huang saw Ling Yue with all her strength punch his brother's stomach.
Ling Huansheng glared at him. "What's this for!"
"Ha! What's this for? Ask that swaying grass!" Ling Yue turned to Ling Huang. "You look terrible. Hurry up take a shower and rest!"
"Oh, it's been a long time since somebody care for me in this house. I don't feel so sleepy suddenly." even though he said so, Ling Huang could not hide his black eye bags and his yawn.
"It feels better for you to get married quickly." Ling Yue commented on Ling Huang's shoulders who had turned around. He just waved his hand and start climbed up the stairs.
"Just so you know, Ling Feng has given his permission if I want to date."
"What?"
"Is he crazy?"
Ling Huang and Ling Huansheng said in the same time. Ling Yue did not explain further. She sauntered away, leaving her two brothers with big question mark.
The first thing she had to do was change her appearance. Not to that extrem like in that party. Only for her daily comfort. She needs someone to give her advice and know about current fashion developments. She called Chu Wei, the only female friend she has now.
"What's wrong sis?"
She answered after the first ring connected. Chu Wei was curious about what happened after the party. Ling Yue's news was scattered in the online media for only a few hours before it finally disappeared without a trace. In the article she had read, there wasn't a single media that mentioned Ling Yue's name. So she thought it might be Xi Jian's almighty power that repelled all the news about Ling Yue.
"Are you busy today?" Ling Yue asked doubtfully. She never asked anyone for help before. Ling Feng said the percentage for anyone who reached out to her without covert intent was zero. Everyone who helped her definitely had a purpose, so Ling Yue never dared to ask anyone for help.
Chu Wei shook her head. Then she realized Ling Yue couldn't see it. "No. I'm not busy today. What is wrong?"
"Could you help me?"
"Okay, I'm listening."
Ling Yue expressed her intentions and asked Chu Wei to accompany her which she agreed easily. Chu Wei hung up the phone and hurried to inform her boss that she had permission to leave early. She could not wait to dress up Ling Yue right away. While humming happily, Chu Wei stopped the taxi and directed it to their promised place.
It's shopping time ~
"What a coincidence, my office will hold a gathering in the City C in order to open a new branch. So I might as well shop for later." Ling Yue told Chu Wei as soon as they met.
"Wahh you will going on vacation!" Chu Wei then sighed. "When will DuChen hold something like that?"
"Not a vacation. This is a business trip."
"It's the same. You can all go on vacation too. Who knows, your boss might be hooked on you." Chu Wei teased her who immediately ignored by Ling Yue.
"Don't say that. Besides, I heard he wasn't coming." Ling Yue took a half-sleeved overalls dress in light orange.
"Good choice. Ah, unfortunately, you can't feel the office romance during your holiday. You know? I took a photo of you and him. You both really look good together."
Ling Yue relented. If Chu Wei already talk about Xi Jian, she was like a captain who docked her ship and let only both of them board on it.
