Chapter 13 - Enigmatic Tang Xuan

Li Xuiying finally snapped out of her staring competition.

"Ah Ying, This is the young master of the Tang Family, Tang Xuan, Tang Xuan this is my Second daughter Li Xuiying, and that is my first daughter Li Anyu", Li Dong pointed at Anyu.

"Tang Xuan...", Xueying muttered, of course, she had heard of him, the brain of the well-known Tang Corporation, she just never expected him to be so young and handsome, everyone calls him a devil, who would have expected a devil this good looking?

"Nice to finally meet you Miss Xueying", Dimoxuan said with his hand outstretched for a handshake.

Li Xuiying recovered herself and shook his hands, "Nice to meet you too Mr Tang Xuan". Xueying froze in shock when she realized she couldn't read the mind of Tang Xuan nor could she see any vision, her brows furrowed in confusion as she tried hard to read him but nothing, just pure darkness.

Dimoxuan noticed what this little kitten was trying to do, seems like she was aware of her powers after all but the main question was... How strong is she? Seeing her trying to dive into his consciousness smiled at her naivety.

Li Xuiying gave up and withdrew her hands, she looked at Tang Xuan weirdly, He was different,  for the first time in her life she finally found someone her powers didn't work on, she was intrigued and her eyes sparked excitement. 

Li Dong, Li Anyu and Grand Ma Murong noticed the change in Xuiying's eyes and couldn't help but be shocked.

Li Xuiying still couldn't believe it, when she was younger she always knew she was different from other kids, in terms of strength and power. With a touch, she could read a person and see visions. She once told her Dad about it but he told her it was all a dream and made her promise not to tell anyone, ever since then Xueying never said a word about it to anyone, not even her close sister Anyu. 

"Happy Birthday Miss Xueying", Dimoxuan said and snapped his fingers, Shen yunying who was outside immediately came running in.

"Master, what is it?", Shen Yunying asked.

Dimoxuan glanced at her and asked, "Where is the present I prepared for the Young Miss?".

Shen Yunying noticed her Master was getting pissed so she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry Master, I will go get it now", she immediately went to get the large container inside the car.

Li Xuiying watched this and thought to herself,  'Master? This is the Twenty century, who calls their boss Master? There was something strange about this Young master of the Tang family, she just couldn't pinpoint what exactly.

Shen Yuying soon came in with a large container in her hands, Xuying tilted her head wondering what could be in it.

"I heard you love wisteria so I especially had them groomed for you", Dimoxuan said with a smile on his face, and Shen Yunying wrapped the container revealing a flower pot of well-grown wisteria.

Xuiying was stunned, she went closer to the flower pot and squatted to inhale the fragrance,  "Well grown, Thank you" " she said with a rare smile on her face.

Dimoxuan was glad she loved his present, of course, he knew what she liked after all he had been watching her silently for over seventeen years. He suddenly felt a headache coming on, every time she smiled images of that woman flooded his head, they looked way too similar, but he still couldn't help but be obsessed with her smile, it shone like a radiant moon.

"Will you stay and have lunch?", Xuying asked making Li Dong's eyes widen in shock.

Dimoxuan looked at her and wanted to say yes but who knows how long he could control himself so he immediately rejected,  "I would love to but I have an important meeting to attend to".

Xuiying smiled again at his polite rejection, "I owe you one then, see you next time", she said and carried the flower pot up to her room.

Dimoxuan watched her leave and also proceeded to leave, Li Dong thanked him for coming even though he was a little wary of him. 

Dimoxuan entered his car and left Li's mansion, inside the car Shen Yunying asked, "Master, how is it? Has she awakened her celestial aura?".

Dimoxuan rubbed his temples trying to calm his aching head as he said, "Her celestial aura will be awakened on the day she turns eighteen,  as long as we make sure she is weak on that day we will finally be able to go back to the Netherworld". 

On hearing this Shen yunying smiled heartily knowing whatever show her Master did there was all fake.

Back in the Li mansion, Xuying gently places the flower pot on the table next to her bed, she sat down on the bed and twirled the pendant on her neck, "Why could I not read him? Why couldn't I see through him? What is so special about him?...", she slowly muttered, her eyes shown with determination and she said, "Whoever you might be... I will unravel your mystery".

Knock! Knock!

Xuiying heard a knock on her door, "It's opened", she said.

The door opened and Li Dong walked in, "Happy Birthday my moon", He said and sat beside his daughter.

Xuiying smiled and rested her head on his shoulders, "You didn't come with us to see Mom... Are you worried you might break down before us?", she asked softly.

Li Dong sighed and closed his eyes, "Hmm", he nodded and said nothing more.

Xuiying understood and didn't say anything about it again, "Dad aren't you hungry?", she suddenly asked with her lips pouted.

Li Dong chuckled and said, "Right, I'm so hungry... I came here to call you downstairs to have lunch but I ended up doing another thing... Don't mind me dear".

"Let's go then", Xuiying said with a cute giggle and dragged her Father downstairs.

Grandma Murong noticed the smile on her granddaughter's face and commented, "That young lad has magical powers", everyone at the dining table turned to her wondering what she meant.
