Chapter 274: How Many Children Do You Want?

On the floor bellow them, a young girl in the maid uniform took her steps forward by peeking her head to the side of the mountain of towels that piled on her hands. "The party is already going to start, where were you?!" A gruff voice came, scolding the young maid who clumsily held the towels straight before it could topple down to the floor which would only add more to her work.

"I'm sorry senior. I will make sure to come back quickly after doing this work." The maid hurriedly said before the senior valet could get angry over her slow work.

"Alright, go first we need more help." As the man spoke he went and left the hallway, leaving the maid alone. Threading her steps carefully the young maid jolted when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. The towels held on her hand collapsed down fluttering away like a white blanket of snow to the floor.

The person reached out his hand quickly, shielding the towels from falling down. "I apologized I must have startled you." The man said. The maid looked up but the contact she wore earlier fell somewhere, making her unable to see the man's face clearly. "Ah, no problem sir, however, this is a restrictive place only for the family. Perhaps are you asking the way to the party hall?"

"Well no, I was questioning the way to the washroom but it seemed I've really walked the wrong place." The man spoke, his light curly brown hairs scattering around. "Also may I ask you a little question?"

"Of course sir."

"I saw that you stood near the entrance before, did you see a very tall man alongside Mr. Wang's partner? He's my friend you see, I've been searching for him." The man's tone was friendly. Thinking that perhaps the man was Wang Li Lei's fiancée's friend she hummed and recalled the rest of the person standing near them. "Other than Mr. Jang, there was only a single tall person with a wide scar on his forehead, perhaps you are speaking of that man, sir?"

The man sang a disappointed humming, "unfortunately that isn't him. Well then, I will not stand her anymore. Do you need a help?"

"No thank you for your consideration sir." The maid replied fluently, not wanting the man to be bothered by a maid's chore and heard the man murmuring "Is that so," and left.

Swiping his curly brown hair which was parted close to his left side to the back of his head, Chengye sighed his kind eyes turned cold as soon as he passed the maid. Humming to a very faint tone that brew a little disappointment, he rolled his eyes upward. "Why is master not here yet? I want to meet him." He concluded his whisper with a dangling smile.

Xiao Yun alongside the rest of the family passed by the last hallway. Xiao Yun didn't know when Wang Li Lei ended his brief conversation with Wang Feng Yi as when she noticed the man had stood beside her. Smoothly taking her hand in a gentle manner he asked. "What did you talk with aunt?"

"She was praising you and also encouraged me, your uncle and aunt seem to be a very kind people." Xiao Yun returned.

"They are." For a moment Xiao Yun could pick well the cold note on Wang Li Lei's voice.

"Are you thinking of your third uncle?" Her question was straight and he didn't mind it. "A little. Did you know what happened?"

"Yes, from the past." Wang Li Lei narrowed his eyes. Even though it was himself who she spoke of it made it clear how she had lived a life which he doesn't remember. He felt a contradiction in himself, jealousy to himself and even though he knew it was foolish he didn't care. He knew he was a jealous person and that he wants everything of hers without a limit but he wouldn't ignore her feeling.

"What are you thinking?" He heard her voice blooming on his ears and shook his head. "Only a little thing."

"What kind?" Xiao Yun didn't thought much of her question, her eyes were on her shoes which had a tall heels and how it would be dangerous if she slipped her balance. She also thought of how sparkly the marbled floor was and how it only made her footings slippery.

"That today would be one of the most memorable day of my life."

Xiao Yun looked up, her red tinted cheeks bloomed along with her smile which smoothened her delicate face. Dressed in the white gown, she was more beautiful than an angel to his eyes. "And that would also be one of the most memorable day of my life. But the most memorable day would be our marriage, wouldn't it? The next would be our first child's labor, the second." she trailed and turn toward him. "Li Lei, how many children do you want?"

A hint of surprise stayed over Wang Li Lei's face. Hearing how far she had took their future to consideration the corner of his eyes mellowed and a chuckle left his lips. "Every child from you is precious, no matter how much it is." Leaning her head she nodded heartily. "Of course."

As soon as the party begun, it started fairly normal like any other party and after the opening greetings gave by Wang grandparents, they had a spare time in which the people leisurely chattering around while waiting for their turn to wish Wang grandparents for their anniversary. There wasn't anything unusual and if there was it would only be that every time Xiao Yun turn her gaze a little she was quickly greeted by many actress, actor, and singers. A little time passed after Xiao Yun accompanied Wang Li Lei yo greet a few people he knew and Xiao Yun asked Hi Gu Yan to bring her the present she had brought.

When Zhi Gu Yan came back with the present box over his hand. Xiao Yun noticed the large crowds among Wang Yongyi and Wang Yan Zhi. She wondered what happened and heard a voice ringing. "Grandfather and grandmother, happy wedding anniversary I prepared a gift, but I'm not too sure whether it is good enough. You two had been like my own grandparents and I know this gift can't be compared with the kindness you've shown to me but I hope this will be to your likings."

Wang Yan Zhi softly took her hand. "You don't have to say that, Chang Lu. You've also been like my own granddaughter." And Wang Yongyi agreed with his wife by nodding gently.

"Please open the gift, grandmother. I took a very long time to choose the presents." Wang Yan Zhi thought of opening the present a little later but seeing the excited look on the girl's face she can't force herself to reject her and opened the red velvet gift box. People's eyes moved curiously, waiting for Wang Yan Zhi to open the gift box and saw the two jade earrings and necklace. The other present for Wang Yongyi was a splendid jade ornaments which held an authentic carvings.

Seeing the present everyone gasped in awe. "Isn't that made by the artisan Fuan? It is very mesmerizing if I'm not wrong it worth more than fifteen million. The other one must be the accessories from Moonlight store. I heard there was a mix of rare items in that shop and if you are lucky you could attain one in lesser price."

Lin Chang Lu knew Wangs' grandparents taste very well as when the two saw the present, they couldn't conceal the delight jumping over their faces. Then Xiao Yun glanced at Lin Chang Lu. Her smile was seamless but it didn't hide the twisted scheme she planned. She must had planned to present her gifts before her in order to steal her spotlight, making her embarrassed as she people would judge her less after seeing her gift.
