Silence prevailed the room as everyone present inside tried to digest the bomb thrown by Kai
'Partner what? Is it a life partner or are they just friends or do they have a special relationship'. These were the only questions which were swarming the minds of the people who were happy for their friend Yang just a moment ago.
Kai saw all their changing expressions as he was able to roughly guess what they were thinking as he thought that in a moment such as this one it was probably the easiest to read the expressions of theses normally cold and ice people. As he looked to his side and saw the one he just proclaimed as his partner, looking as lost as possible he sighed before thinking that maybe not everyone could do it.
He had known her for a while know and knew that she was complete lost whenever it came to human relationships and feelings, her normally high IQ would always fly out of the window in such situations.
Seeing the look on Yang's face as if wanted to kill him Kai decided to come clean with his relationship with Shi,
"Ha-ha, I meant to say partners in crime. Now allow me to reintroduce myself, I am Li Yanchen also known by my stage name Kai."
Upon hearing his real name Yang felt as if someone popped a balloon inside him as he looked at Kai before saying,
"Then are you..."
Before yang could finish his statement, Li Yanchen continued saying.
"Yes brother-in-law, I am Shi's third senior brother. It is nice to meet you and I hope that you will continue to look after my little sister.''
Yanchen smiled before continuing in his heart
'I know that she is a bit thick headed but please be patient with her and let her open up herself to you.
Hers is an old fashioned heart that holds timeless love,
She's a three page love letter in a world full of relationship updates.
She was a beautiful dreamer,
the kind of girl who kept her head in the clouds, loved above the stars and left regret beneath the earth she walked on.
She was the type to fall in love with the moon, and everything that was beautifully unreachable.
And I hope and pray to god that you can be the person she needs the most.'
Ruan who was sitting silently asked with a serious look on his face,
"Mr.Li, could it be that you are the third young master of the Li family."
Li Yanchen just smiled at him before telling him,
"Mr.Chen, I hope that this news will not leak outside, as you know that each of us in the Li family take our privacy rather seriously and I do not wish for it to be destroyed. I except the same from everyone present inside this room."
Yanchen looked at each and every one present inside the room straight in the eyes as he finished speaking and gone was the usual sunny person with an easy going personality, being replaced by a serious looking man who seemed as if he would not be taking this matter lightly.
Xin looked at the serious atmosphere and decided to liven things up as he walked towards Shi and Kai and pushed them towards an empty seat, Shi was strategically made to sit beside Yang.
Zehan stood up as he started to introduce him to his newest sister-in-law,
"Nice to meet you, I am Zehan from the Yan family. The idiot looking man who just pushed you is Xin from the Wen family while the man who has been staring at you ever since you entered the room is Ruan from the Chen family."
As Zehan finished speaking he cast a smirk at Xin's direction as if telling him that his method of lightening the atmosphere was a failure. And as expected, just as he finished speaking Shi chuckled before introducing herself,
"Hi nice to meet all of you I am Shi and this is my third elder brother Li Yanchen but I guess that all of you may better recognize him as Kai, his stage name."
Yang who was now looking intently at his wife after clearing the whole fiasco of her being with the certified womanizer, started to admire the beauty she always projected. As he looked her up and down, he silently nodded to himself, approving of the dress she wore. It was elegant enough without showing more than needed skin,
But still he would like it much better if she wore these type of dress for him while at the privacy of their home.
He remembered asking Shi if she needed money for going to shopping as he read in some shitty romance novel whose publishing house has already declared bankruptcy which was also his courtesy, that it was one of the best ways to come off as romantic.
Shi's reply shall always remain with him and may even haunt him in his dreams,
'There is no need Yang. I have already enough money and shall never ask you for it. Do not ask how, just know that I also work to earn my own money.'
On hearing her at that moment yang felt his heart getting stabbed by the fork kept in front of him, as the sentence kept on repeating in his mind as a record.
'There is no need Yang'
'There is no need Yang'
'There is no need Yang'
