Chapter 136: Something That's Happening Behind the Scene

As Wang Li Lei said to her that he would be late and that she could come to his house first and wait for him, Xiao Yun entered Wang Li Lei's house as though she was entering her own room. 

Leisurely Xiao Yun took off her coat and placed it one the servants. Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan also went inside the residence. Although they were both still being conserved and stiff whenever they thought they had just entered The Demon Lord's residence, after seeing Xiao Yun making herself at home comfortably, their weary expression ease. 

She leaned back to the couch in the living room and took out her other bag that was filled with her books and papers. Xiao Yun revised the lessons that she studied with Wang Li Lei previously and noticed that her lesson with Wang Li Lei would end after another two or three days. 

Her lips subconsciously pouted in a disappointment. Even though it was selfish of her, the thought of her meeting with Wang Li Lei would decrease made her involuntarily wistful. 

She never knew since when the day without Wang Li Lei became unbearable.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable with her makeup, Xiao Yun took sight of a maid who was cleaning the vase and spoke. "Where is the washroom?"

The maid paused and thought for a moment before answering. "I will lead you, young lady."

Xiao Yun agreed and followed the maid from behind. After a few minutes, they stopped in front of Xiao Yun's bedroom that was made by Wang Li Lei. The maid spoke with a somewhat merry smile. "This is your room, young lady. Everything you need is inside."

Before Xiao Yun replied anything, the maid rummaged her pocket and pulled up a key and gave it to Xiao Yun. "This is the key to your room, miss. The rest of the things are also locked. However, you could use your fingerprint to open the rest of the things. "

"U-." Xiao Yun glanced down at the key in a puzzle. 'How come everything had been prepared...?'

The maid excused herself before fading back to her work. Xiao Yun didn't want to dwell on her question for a long time and opened the room with the key. It was a different room than the last one that she used previously. 

Inside the room, the furniture was rather simple and elegant.  The colors of the furniture were mostly in a soft pink color or white with some rabbit plushies that have a slight resemblance to Xiao Yun. Although there was no one who lived there, the room was very clean and seemed to be well managed by the servants of the house. 

Xiao Yun scratched her cheeks and strolled to the bathroom which was locked. She remembered the words of the maid and placed her thumbs on the door's handle. And to her surprise, the door mechanically unlocked by her fingerprint. 

In the bathroom, Xiao Yun's favorite face wash and another brand new beauty products were placed next to the white sink which was framed with gold lining.

Everything in the whole bedroom fits her liking even down to the color of her towel. Collecting all these things to match her taste surely needed a lot of considerations and thoughtfulness. Wang Li Lei must have used his intensive knowledge in order to make a room comfortable specially for her. 

The corner of her lips unstoppably broke into a smile. 

Xiao Yun finished washing her makeup and trotted down to the living room. At the same time, Wang Li Lei had just arrived back at his home and greeted Xiao Yun with a warm smile. The servants of the house form two lines for Wang Li Lei to specifically walk down the red carpet which was connected to the spiral staircase where Xiao Yun stood at.

"Welcome back." Xiao Yun said as she ran toward and stopped in front of him while crossing her hand on her back. 

"I'm back." Wang Li Lei replied as he placed his coat on the maid beside him and took off his black gloves before placing his cold hands on her warm cheeks. 

Although Xiao Yun wasn't aware that the way she greeted Wang Li Lei was the same as how a wife would greet her hubby when he had just come back from home. Wang Li Lei couldn't contain his happiness and proceed to his "greetings" which consist of kissing her forehead. He had done this in order to familiarize Xiao Yun. 

Xiao Yun who had slowly get used to his forehead kiss, giggled happily and met his space-like eyes. Noticing this, Wang Li Lei continued to kiss her cheeks while trailing his fingers behind her ears in a delicate manner. 

The corner of Xiao Yun's eyes noticed the eyes of the servants next to them and Jang Hyun behind them. She forgot that the other servants were still between them and muttered shyly while sending hinting eyes to the back. "Li Lei... "

Wang Li Lei finally snapped back from his sweetness and slightly pulled one corner of his lips. His cold hand parted from her and spoke. "Did you just wash your face?"

"Yes, how do you know that?" Xiao Yun asked. 

Wang Li Lei descended his eyelids for a moment and twiddled Xiao Yun's short bangs that were the height of her chin as he replied. "Your hair is wet." 

"That's right..." Xiao Yun didn't notice her side bangs were drenched in water. 

Before they both walk away from the entrance, Wang Li Lei cast Jang Hyun a hinting glance. Receiving the glance, Jang Hyun nodded before cueing Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan to follow him. 

The two sat on the couch in a separate room where the two always use to study together. The maids placed the warm red tea and cookies that were prepared personally for Xiao Yun. 

While sipping his tea, Wang Li Lei spoke. "How was your day?"

Xiao Yun bit the cookies and replied. "It was fun! I signed the contract with Azure Company. Chuan Huan Jing the designer of the company is very talented. "

"That's great. Congratulation." Wang Li Lei briefly commented. His eyes examined Xiao Yun's face as she complimented Chuan Huan Jing with a very meaningful look.

"Thank you" Xiao Yun returned while rubbing her cheeks slightly. 

"If there's anything that you need me to help, just ask me. I would be more than happy to help you." Wang Li Lei continued. 

Xiao Yun nodded looked at a question at her notebook and rubbed her chin before asking. "Li Lei, this one... what does it means?"

Wang Li Lei fluttered his eyelashes. "To gild the Lilly, meaning adorning something that is already beautiful or already perfect."

"Ah-... Then I could use it this way?" Xiao Yun asked. 

Wang Li Lei nodded and unawarely bring forward his face. "It's better to use it this way and also this is important to note on."

"Alright! I understand!" 

Wang Li Lei turned his face abruptly which was a millimeter close to Xiao Yun's lips. Xiao Yun's eyes stared at his supple full lower lips that looked very moist and red. "Xiao Yun." His voice brought her back Xiao Yun's line of thought to the book. 

"A- Ah?" Xiao Yun broke free from her thoughts and stuttered. 

"After you finished your study, there's something I need to talk with you." Wang Li Lei said while tangling his hand on Xiao Yun's crescent moon pendant before tucking a few strands of hair that impolitely hindered Xiao Yun's sight. Locking his vivid eyes on Xiao Yun's, he cupped her cheeks in one hand.

Each of his movements was tender as though he was touching a very fragile thing that could break easily. 

Xiao Yun could feel butterflies running wild on her stomach, from his intense gaze.  "Talk about what?"

"Our future." Wang Li Lei briefly answered. 

Our-... 

Our future?!

Xiao Yun gasped, "What do you mean...? What kind of fu-" 

"That one is wrong." Wang Li Lei pointed his index finger on the question that Xiao Yun wrote wrong, stopping Xiao Yun from asking too much to keep the surprise. 

"A- en... That's right, that one is wrong..." Xiao Yun took her eraser and erased her answer. Her heart was thumping out loud as though it was about to run off from its place. 

As expected in her whole life, she has one weakness and that is Wang Li Lei's whole self! Be it his voice, fingers, or his face, everything was able to take all her mind to stop working. 

On the other hand, Wang Li Lei propped his chin on the chair armrest and chuckled softly while continuing to watch Xiao Yun who was working her best to answer the rest of her question.

Every little movement of Xiao Yun's fingers, her lips that mutter in a soft voice while thinking her answer, and the soft breathings that she let out made his heart warmed.
