Chapter 341: The Poor Cousin-II

The rain had gotten better outside their house. The air which had turned cold was the sign of winter coming around the corner. Xiao Yun felt warm beside him. She had been thinking a lot and had filled him to everything that she had seen and her emotions as she had seen everything. Wang Li Lei sat beside her keeping a wide ears to her story as he held her hand.

"I hope I have changed a lot of the past." she spoke her eyes looking at the lights beside their bed.

"You did." he replied then his hand moved from her back to her waist taking her shoulders he spoke, "Come here." and she moved to the place where he told her to and they both laid down to the bed.

"Winter is coming close." stated Xiao Yun, she could feel his heartbeat that sounded to her ears and snuggled closer for sharing their warmth between them. "That's right, Spring Competition is also just around the corner."

"Mhm, three days more." he replied. "Do you need any help?" Xiao Yun shook her head.

"What about Dragon Group? And The murder weapon?"

"I came up with an idea." She didn't question and gave a nod. Though she was worried she also believe that Wang Li Lei would be able to solve the problem with his best idea. "Sleep now, good night." he kissed her forehead a smile widened on her lips and she rested her head above his arm he laid out to act as he pillow.

"Tomorrow, I will be bright again." she whispered, the whole time she had been crying, Xiao Yun hated her own tears. She dislike her own part who was a crybaby and knew that her tears wouldn't be able to solve anything but the emotions she saw and bottled burst out whenever he was by her side.

"You don't have to be bright. To me you are brighter than the Sun. Everyone have their own time when they feel sad and like any other person you shouldn't keep your feeling for yourself. A heart can get tired from emotions and you too. Whenever you are with me, you could do and feel whatever you wants to." She felt her eyes turning glaze with his words, her eyes sparkled when the light hits her. She chuckled her head bumped to his forehead.

"You really knows how to cheer me up, Li Lei." Wang Li Lei grinned, he looked down to find that right after her words, Xiao Yun had fallen asleep beside him.

The next morning, Xiao Yun were a red dress to cheer herself and to pull herself up from all the feelings she had. She walked down to her company, finding Zi Gong standing with a documents in front of him and a crease on his forehead.

"Call the management we will have this fix now." he spoke to the employee of Azure beside him and turned to hear the other person on his left side spoke, "Sir Zi, we have another call from Weekdays tabloids! They have been asking the same questions!"

"Ignore that call, reply to them we will not answer any of their question." replied Zi Gong. He pulled his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose to sigh before noticing Xiao Yun who had just came inside the company.

She only had to see from the employees who worked under her running across the building as if a room in the building had been set ablaze with fire. "What is the problem?"

Zi Gong clenched his jaw, replying, "We receive an accusation that our designs are imitating Golden Tree's designs. The tabloids who have release the articles placed our clothes side by side with Golden Tree and they claimed to have find out that their latest season have the same designs with us."

"Hm, this is how she is trying to play at." Xiao Yun hummed, she wondered what Lin Chang Lu had been doing in the silence for weeks to find out what she was trying to do now. Before the day of the Spring Competition, Lin Chang Lu planned to brainwash the society to see that there were similarities between their designs and at last point her as the one who had stolen Golden Tree's designs. Also to add with Zhu Yi Nian's sudden bold request to leave the company, she could guess what they were trying to do. "Good. Don't reply to any of tabloids, for now strengthen our company's security, and where is Chuan Huan Jing?"

"He is still cooped out inside his working room to work for the last gown of the competition." replied Zi Gong quickly for Xiao Yun to nod.

"Have he heard about this yet?" she asked.

"Not yet, I thought that as he will be entering the competition in less than three days, it would be better if he doesn't hear unnecessary problem that could hinder his work."

Xiao Yun smiled at Zi Gong's praiseworthy antics. "Great. Don't forget to bring him out of his place two days before the competition. Give him a full day of sleep, we can't have him faint or drowsy in the fashion competition." The situation may had been dire the entire time but once Xiao Yun came to take the control, the tense air inside the building suddenly diminished. The employee felt suddenly easier to breaths with her smile and quickly resumed their work.

Xiao Yun then took out her phone to push her call button, "Li Lei?"

"Yes," his voice coming softly to her ears, "I've seen the articles. Are you still in the company?"

"About that, can I ask you a little help?" she questioned. She needed a last push to her plan and needed Wang Li Lei's help.

"Of course. What ever you need, I'll be here." His smooth lines made her to purse her lips. She wondered what kind of expression he was wearing and when she closed her eyes she could guess the soft expression on his handsome face to giggle.

"If you say it in the way you did just now, I want to meet you now."

"Then you should come now, I am free." he offered that took her less than a second to agree.

"Mhm, Okay! I'm going there now!"
