Mo Yun Lie didn't expect a question like this and was caught off guard, "I-I... I-I..." He stuttered to answer and looked everywhere but Xia Yao Xing, as if seeing her would cause him to die!!
Xia Yao Xing sensed his discomfort and said politely, "Boss, we are not familiar. You shouldn't be here." She paused for a moment before saying, "I'm an artist after all, it'll effect my career."
Yes... She didn't have any problem celebrating with Mo Yun Lie. In fact, she would be happy to celebrate with anyone. She is too lonely to refuse a friendly hand extended towards her. But ever since she was a child she could only have handful of people as her closest. She doesn't understand why, but she felt Mo Yun Lie is one of them.
All she has problem with is her career. She couldn't let any scandal to effect her career at this moment when she just started it. Mo Yun Lie was not a normal person and she can't afford to have a scandal with a person like him. That too, she didn't started filming still now. She just got a role for God's sake!
Besides, her career is the only way to know the truth. She can't afford to lose it.
When Mo Yun Lie heard her reason, a cute chuckle left his lips, "It's.. Just this? Who would dare to do that?" He stretched his hand and ruffled Xia Yao Xing's hair a little, saying, "I'm Mo Yun Lie. Country C's one of the best businessman. No one would dare to create a scandal with my name in it." He then held her hand and said, "Let's celebrate."
Xia Yao Xing couldn't refuse him. If it were any other guy in his place, ruffling her hair and holding hand? She would have long kicked him on his A*s! But in front of this man, she is just like a obedient kitten. She didn't know why? He even said, no one would dare create a scandal with his name? YES of course... Who would dare?
Mo Yun Lie stood up. "Let's go to the dining table." He said while helping Xia Yao Xing. Xia Yao Xing got up and started walking. "Why did you say that?" Xia Yao Xing asked, heading towards the dining room whole Mo Yun Lie was supported her to walk.
He couldn't understand what she was talking about and stopped in his track. "Said What?" He asked as he lifted his left eyebrow as he resumed walking her to the dining table.
Xia Yao Xing looked at him. She bit her lower lip and diverted her eyes from his face. 'He is Way too Handsome!' She thought to herself. "Last night... At the club." Xia Yao Xing said.
Mo Yun Lie understood what she was talking about as he become flustered. "Huh? What last night?" But pretended nothing happend. "OH!! Yeah.. I brought a chocolate cake for you. Will it be fine for the celebration?" He tried to change the subject.
But this time Xia Yao Xing stopped and held his hand tight stopping him in his track. "You said, You also feel the same..." She paused and turned her face to look into his eyes. "What do you feel the same?" Xia Yao Xing asked.
Mo Yun Lie couldn't come up with any answer as he awkwardly laughed, "HAHA.. HA." He diverted his eyes to look else where. "That was nothing... Ha Nothing. Let's go celebrate." He started walking again. But Xia Yao Xing refused to move. She held the hem of his shirt from the back.
"I said answer me! "She demanded the answer.
He stopped when she resisted.
"Turn back!" She demanded again. Although her voice was low there was a strong determination and firm demand in her voice. He knew that demand means she highly thinks of him as a dear one.
He turned back and smiled. His smile was like the first ray of morning sun. Lazy..., cozy..., comfortable. She wanted to live this smile. "...That feeling" Xia Yao Xing came out of her trance at the end of his sentence.
"What?.. Sorry... Say it again." She said to him.
"THE feeling... Where your loved one, loves someone else. That feeling." Mo Yun Lie said again.
Xia Yao Xing's eyes widened at his words. "How do you know?" She asked as her grip tighten on his shirt. How does he know about her feelings. "Why do you know that I feel this?" She asked.
Mo Yun Lie knew she would ask this hence he said turning and again walking towards the dining tablet. "I saw your expression in the club. The feeling was same with me." He lied. He couldn't tell the truth.
He knew about her love. He knew what she thinks.
For her, his brother, means... his Half-brother was her brother Mo. She loved him. But his brother, Mo Yan, was in love with her sister Xia Xiang.
They both reached the dining table and sat there. Xia Yao Xing looked at Mo Yun Lie again. She was some how disappointed. Hearing him say something like this... 'Does he have someone he love?' She thought. 'Xia Yao Xing! what are you thinking? You are not supposed to think this.' She again said to herself.
Mo Yun Lie went back to bring the packed food. He placed everything on the table. He brought a chocolate cake, Pizzas, burgers and some soft drinks.
Xia Yao Xing looked at the food and was shocked. "You like these stuff?" She looked at him. As her eyebrows went up.
Mo Yun Lie looked at her expression and felt she was too cute to not look at her. He just wanted to look at her everyday, every hour, every minute and even every second. "Actually... I was living abroad for for a long time and I am used to these stuff." He paused for a moment. "What happened don't you like these?" He looked at the food and back to her.
Xia Yao Xing blinked at his answer. "You were also in abroad?" She recalled the promise she made with her brother Mo and didn't help looking down.
Mo Yun Lie knew what she was thinking. "Yes. And... what do you mean by 'also'? He asked.
Xia Yao Xing looked at him. Tried to smile and said, "He also went abroad when we were little." She then shifted the topic saying, "By the way... I love cakes. I was also abroad for a long time and I'm used to it too." She paused for a moment before saying, "But, I also thing that Chinese food also has its own flavours."
She then looked at him and said," Let's cut it." as she smiled cutely at him.
They both started to dig in the food and soon they finished everything.
They went to the couch and sat there as Xia Yao Xing switched the television on. "What do you want to watch?" She asked.
"Mmm... Turn on the news channel." He answered.
"What? You want to watch news?" She complained.
"Yes... I'm a business man after all." Mo Yun Lie answered as matter of fact.
'Of course you are!' She though to herself.
She then turned on the news channel and tried to watch it.
Gradually she started doze off but woke up at the mention of a name 'Mo Yan'. She sat straight as she looked at the man in the Screen. A sweet smile formed on her lips. She looked at him lovingly. It had not been two seconds before a slim and slender figured appeared beside the man in the Screen. Xia Yao Xing's smile froze as a strong hatred formed in her eyes.
All this while Mo Yun Lie was only looking at the girl beside him. She was being bored..., she was dozing off..., a smile formed on her fas as she looked at the TV screen and then her sweet smile froze even before he could admire it.
He looked at the Screen and understood what happened. Inside the Screen, a loving couple were interacting with the media holding their hands. It triggered him when he looked at the man. That man was the last person he would like to see! He took the remote from the table and switched the TV off.
Xia Yao Xing came out of her trance. "He is the one." She stated. Mo Yun Lie looked at her and understood what she was saying. "That girls is my sister." She continued.
Mo Yun Lie was silent for a while. He knew that. He extended his hand and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her. Xia Yao Xing didn't resist. She wanted support.
He was her only light in the darkness. She suffered and survived everything not just because she wanted to confronted her so called real parents but also to be beside him, forever.
But, the thing she got to know the day she came was her sisters betrayal and her sisters relationship with the man she loved.
She still didn't give up on him. She knew that her sister must have manipulated some facts and went to look for him. But the result was, He didn't remember her. He didn't even know about her existence.
She looked up at Mo Yun Lie while he hugged her and asked, "Who do you love?"
Mo Yun Lie loosened his hands a little to look at her face and said,
"THE person... Who loves young master Mo." Mo Yun Lie replied.
