Chapter 277: Desperate Plead-II

Holding Wang Li Lei's arm which prevented her from falling down, she heard him speaking again. "It will take a little more time before the announcement, are you tired?" Wang Li Lei asked after they had greeted a handful of people.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yun saw him looking down, narrowing his eyes on her feet a frown formed on his forehead. "You're not." He insisted. "The back of your feet must be full of blisters. Come with me, you should take a rest." And his words were true. Xiao Yun had been feeling a little pain from time to times on the back of her feet, precisely as his words but as she had been accompanying Wang Li Lei for more than an hour she had gotten accustomed to the pain that she didn't notice the itching pain again. Now that he mentioned it, she did felt the sting every time her feet moved.

"No, don't worry." She glanced at the people who they still had to greet. "I will only take a rest, I will come back later."

Holding her waist, he picked her body and kissed her forehead sweetly. "I will tell Hyun to bring you a new shoes. Wait a moment." He said and ordered Jang Hyun to bring one.

Meanwhile like her words, Xiao Yun went and chose to stand beside the pillar with Hi Gu Yan who perfectly mingled in the party with only a few steps behind her. Her eyes stayed at Wang Li Lei oftentimes only move around her eyes. She wondered why no one walk to her even though she was standing at a very easy to see spot but then she noticed that it was perhaps they don't want to bother her due to Wang Li Lei and felt thankful for it.

Greeting too many people who always wore fake smiles to hide their greedy expression left a bitter aftertaste to her. She didn't mind any of it but she also needed a place to breath and now she felt relieved.

"Did you planned this?" Xiao Yun turned her face to find Lin Chang Lu crossing her arm right across her. She painted a smile on her face and turned away. A moth really die hard unless and until she meet her complete demise Lin Chang Lu was stubborn. As she shifted her gaze, she spotted a black clothed man wearing a black necktie like a grim reaper behind her.

"Are you ignoring me? Is this what the CEO of Azure and the future Mrs. Wang should do? You are lacking manners."

Xiao Yun smiled a harmless smile. Feigning a surprised look, she covered her mouth. "Good evening Chang Lu, I didn't notice you have come. Surely you are not a person who would forgot greeting and instead spoke abruptly, don't you? You're Ms. Lin of Golden Tree after all."

Hearing 'Ms. Lin' stab a wound out of Lin Chang Lu. Her smile crinkled as she waved her hand. "Perhaps it is you who didn't hear me?"

"Perhaps but I'm a person who doesn't often hear useless things." Xiao Yun didn't bother to call her out for her lies. She turned her face from the woman and Hi Gu Yan who had been standing behind her took a few steps and stopped beside Xiao Yun. His looming figure peered down at Lin Chang Lu who wanted to speak again but seeing the human wall, she didn't have any choice and retreated.

Seeing the woman walked away, Xiao Yun then spoke with a smile, "Thank you Gu Yan."

"I thought I shouldn't have come in between but," Hi Gu Yan trailed he didn't particularly find anything dangerous from Lin Chang Lu as she was nothing but a lady who rides her parent's coattail but the same couldn't be said to the man who followed her. "The man behind the lady was odd."

"Odd? What kind of odd?" She can't remember well the face of the man as she only took a glance.

"A crafty one of odd. His gaze was empty and too dishonest." He looked at Xiao Yun and continued. "It's a gaze of someone who have no impossibility in doing anything including harm or even worse than that."

Xiao Yun hummed with a slight gap on her lips. "I will take a note of that." Hi Gu Yan was a man who could read people very well if he deemed the man who followed Lin Chang Lu as a dangerous one, she should keep an eye out of him.

She stepped a little forward, feeling a stung in her lips she spoke. "Gu Yan do you have a band aid?"

"Band aid? I don't have one, should I ask senior Jang, boss?"

"Please." The back of her feet was bleeding now and it wouldn't be good for her to be infected from the wound. At her words, Hi Gu Yan went to fetch a band aid. She sighed wanting to crouch down to tend her wound but it wouldn't look good in front of all the guests at the party.

Raising her ankle she saw a trace of blood seeping through the back of her feet. Her feet was too delicate, she thought. Every time she used new shoes the first one to suffer would be the back of her feet and this time was no different. She then had an idea she would purpose to Zi Gong to create a very comfortable shoes for parties. She leaned her back again to the pillar, amusing herself by the music in the party hall when suddenly she heard a desperate voice next to her ears. "Help!"

Xiao Yun shifted her gaze, seeing the panicked face of a young girl in a maid uniform clothing to her dress with two loose fists in panic. "Help, please help someone fell to the pond!"

"Who?"

"There's too much blood please help!" The maid said again with a grave tone, her hand wailing to point the path. At the mention of blood, Xiao Yun became panic. Perhaps someone fell and was bleeding now? The news were too grave that she didn't ask any further and went with the maid.
