"WHAT?!" It was more like a scream that a proper question!
Mo Yun Lie looked at Xia Yao Xing with a innocent face while she was shocked to death after hearing his question. She looked at him up and down and asked,
"How old are you?" she asked this with utmost consideration as if talking to a elderly person.
Mo Yun Lie's eyes widened with realization and he jumped off of the bed and started explaining anxiously. "No! N-n-n-no! It's not like that… T-That is not my real daughter. I-it's just that I adopted her from my cousin…" He started explaining as anxiously as a fish caught in net would explain for her life, if, given a chance.
He explained everything to her, not leaving even a bit except things that will lead to his identity. He indeed want to reveal her everything but, not now. It's not the time yet.
Xia Yao Xing heard him explain and heaved a sigh of relief. 'Wait! Why did I felt relax? I'm not falling for him, am I? No! it can't happen, I love brother Mo… yes! I love brother Mo!' She thought to herself while trying to convince herself something she couldn't.
They talked for a while more before deciding to meet again regarding the manager thing. Xia Yao Xing then remembered about the meeting set by Manager Chen and asked Mo Yun Lie to help her with something.
"That, Can you ask vice-president Han to inform Manager Cheng that doesn't have to meddle in my matters anymore?' Xia Yao Xing asked feeling a little embarrassed.
Mo Yun Lie got the glimpse of embarrassment in her behavior and said, "You don't have to be this courteous in front of me. You are my daughters savior and…" He paused for a moment, "and, you are a artist under my company too." He said. He originally wanted to say, ' and, the women I love.' But, he couldn't, at least for now.
Xia Yao Xing looked at him for a while and he also looked at her then suddenly, he got up and took out his phone from his pocket. He dialed an Wang's no. and after a short 3-4 seconds gap he said, "Order Ms.Cheng not to concern herself about Xiao Xing. I'll Hung Up!" He then placed his phone back in his pocket.
Mo Yun Lie is someone who would like to choose suit upon t-Shirt. He is used to wear casual wear unless it's a formal occasion. He always likes to wear comfortable clothes so that he won't be late because of some unreasonable clothes. That's the reason he uses his paint pocket often. He literally wears casuals even when he was at office.
"Done! Madam." He reported to Xia Yao Xing as if he was reporting to a superior. She chuckled and tried to get off of the bed. He went forward and stopped her from doing that and held her in place. Their eyes met for brief moment. She was stunned for a moment and then pushed him lightly turning her head away from him. He also let her go and turned his face awlwardly.
"Uh… just stay here for today. It's already dark outside." He said as he looked at the window. Xia Yao Xing followed his vision and looked at the dark sky outside the window.
"Oh! It's really dark though. But, what to do? I have to attend the opening ceremony for the film tomorrow at 11 O' clock and this place is far from the venue." Xia Yao Xing said as she looked at Mo Yun Lie with a fake sorry face. Of course she doesn't want to stay at his place! They are already this much entangled with each other that she is even having the symptoms of a change of heart. She can't let herself to fall deeper for him and… e also loves… Xia Xiang. Xia Yao Xing thought to herself as she adverted her gaze from his heavenly handsome face.
Mo Yun Lie disturbed her train of thoughts as he got up from the bed and went to lock the window. He came back and sat beside her as he placed the blanket on her properly. "Stay here for today. It's an order from your big boss." He said sternly making a tough face.
He knew what she was thinking, according to her he loves her sister not her so, it's not proper for her to stay at his place. He also felt that there is this feeling inside her heart which he is having since he was first got rescued by her and since he saw her being humiliated on a grand occasion that too in front of so many people. He fell for her even when he doesn't understand the feeling of love. It just happened to him. Just like now… How it is happening to her, even though she knew that he has someone else in his heart she is slowly… slowly… slowly… falling for him.
"Boss!" Xia Yao Xing exclaimed feeling a little wronged. "You… How could you do this to your employee?" She said and tried to argue, but eventually lost to her employer and accepted defeat.
They talked a bit about 'this' and 'that'. He asked about the reason why she wanted him to stop Cheng Rui from getting involved in her matter. She replied him honestly. They talked about the opening ceremony and about her role a bit more.
He then suddenly asked, "What are you going to wear tomorrow?"
This got Xia Yao Xing's throat and made her worried again. "What should I do? My dress is with Xiao Rui. Shwe said she is going to ask her designer to make me and Man_Wol our dresses. She will be too angry. She will kill me for making her come this far. What to do? What to do?" She become very anxious and held Mo Yun Lie's sleeve tightly, looking wide into his eyes.
Mo Yun Lie chuckled at this behavior of his little bunny as he stretched is and patted her head like an elder brother. Xia Yao Xing felt his hand on her head and felt a little relieved. She looked at him as he said, "Don't worry I'll arrange a dress for you and also the make-up artist. They'll take care of you."
'But, Xiao Rui will get mad if I don't wear the dress she prepared." Xia Yao Xing said. She felt like being in a situation where there is a big pit in front and a white tiger behind. 'Bhooohoo! What should I do?' She felt like crying. Even though she ia the great X2, and one of the top 50 assassins, she is still way naïve when it comes to handling these matters. She was feeling helpless right now.
"By the way who is Xiao Rui?" Mo un Lie asked.
"She is my childhood best friend and also a famous model." Xia Yao Xing said as a hint of pride showed on her face.
"Oh… don't worry, If she is your friend she will understand you." He said giving her a cute smile.
"Really?" She asked.
He nodded and Xia Yao Xing heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then what about Little Fairy? Is she alright?" She asked.
"Hmm… she is alright now." He said while feeling a little dejected.
She sensed this and asked him, "What's the matter? How is she injured?"
He looked at her and then looked down again. She waited for a while and then heard hin say, "She fell from the stairs."
He looked at her in the eyes and continued. "Maid said, she came from kindergarten and then locked herself in her room, maid thought it was one of her usual tantrum and didn't inform me. But, later when she came out of her room, she threw a even big tantrum saying she wants a Mom…" Mo Yun lie paused there and didn't said anything further. Xia Yao Xing understood the situation and didn't ask anything.
They continued to talk about Little Fairy and the opening ceremony for a while then, Xia Yao Xing fell fast asleep and Mo Yun lie left her room after warmly tucking her in her bed.
He went straight to the room beside her where Little Fairy was sleeping or rather was unconscious. He felt really bad for this girl in front of him. Just like him, she also doesn't have a mother. She deserved one but, what can e do for her?
He went near her bed and sat there for a while. Doctor said that she can get consciousness at any point. He was afraid that it would scare her if she wakes up in the middle of night and find no one was there. He waited there for the whole night. He slowly fell asleep and may be because he was very exhausted he fell in deep sleep.
In the morning when he woke up Little Fairy was already awake and was laughing happily on her bed. He looked at the figure next to Little Fairy and was shocked, " Xiao Xing?"
