64 They'sre friends

After dropping Little Melon, Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin went on their separate ways. Lu Yifeng went to work while Xia Meilin went to her studio.

It wasn't long when Dong Hua arrived to pick her up by Dong Hua. He was there to bring her back home so that she can get her ready for the Charity gala.

Lu Yifeng hired a professional hairstylist and makeup artist to help his wife prepare.

Her hair was sweep into a half-up, half-down style hairstyle—leaving out two fine layers of hair to frame her face. With her near perfect features and good skin, the makeup artist decided to apply a light makeup on her face, to emphasize her beautiful hazel-colored eyes and her beautiful oval shaped face. With her makeup and hairstyle, she looked so sophisticated.

After they were done with it, the hairstylist and makeup artist couldn't help but admire her beauty, it was as if an angel was standing before them. How can someone be this beautiful?

Sitting in his office, Lu Yifeng looked exhausted since he just came from a meeting that lasted for four hours straight. He looked at the wall clock in his office and saw that it was almost time for him to pick up his son.

"Dada, why is momma not with you?" Little Melon asked while sitting beside his father inside the car.

"You'll know soon." He patted his head.

When they arrived home, Lu Yifeng went to his room to change his suit.

Dressed in a well-fitted black suit and a silver necktie around his neck, Lu Yifeng's tall and trim physique was heightened. He didn't need to do anything with his hair and face since his devilish features were already exquisite. His sharp nose bridge, thin lips and strong brows were dazzling.

He was waiting for Xia Meilin downstairs while checking on his phone.

Little Melon, walked to him with his nanny following behind him. "Is dada going out?"

Lu Yifeng turned to him. "Mm. I'm going out with your mother."

"Can Mello go?" His eyes sparkled when he asked this.

"For today, you can't." After all, he didn't want anyone to disturb his moment with his wife, even if it's his son.

Little Melon sulked with Lu Yifeng's answer. He hugged his leg. "Will dada and momma get baby sister for Mello?"

His lips curled up upon hearing his son's words. "We will make her for you, but you need to be patient. This is a high class mission for me."

"Why?"

"You can ask your mother."

Lu Yifeng realized that Little Melon's attention was caught by something so when he turned, his eyes went wide in surprise when he saw Xia Meilin going down the stairs.

She was wearing a beautiful silver dress that hugged her body, allowing her to show off all her curves. With her porcelain white skin, she was able to perfectly pull off the dress. The neckline exposed her elegant collarbone. The design of the dress was perfect to her. She was wearing the diamond jewelry set that was with the dress. She looked so delicate and elegant.

Xia Meilin walked to them while holding her purse. "I'm sorry, did you wait long?"

He snapped up from his trance. He was captured by her beauty again. Before Lu Yifeng can say something, Little Melon spoke the words out of his mouth. "Momma! You're so pretty!"

Xia Meilin couldn't help but smile with her son's compliment. She bend down and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, baby."

A faint blush appeared on Little Melon's cheeks as he let out a cute and happy giggle.

Lu Yifeng's brow twitched. His son was stealing his wife's attention from him. "We should get going."

She stood up straight and looked at him. "Okay."

After bidding goodbye to their son, Xia Meilin and Lu Yifeng entered a limousine.

"You look beautiful tonight." Lu Yifeng finally said his compliment after he sat beside her.

She blinked a few times and turned to him. "Thank you. You look ravishing as well."

Lu Yifeng was so tempted to kiss her soft looking lips but he controlled his urge since he already gave her his word that he won't force her.

"Can I kiss you?" That's why he's going to ask her permission instead.

Xia Meilin was startled with what he suddenly said. It made her heart jump."W-what?"

"I want to kiss you... can I give you a friendly kiss?"

Her face instantly became red. "F-friends don't kiss..."

Lu Yifeng sulked. She still won't allow him. How can she consider him; her husband as a friend and restrict him from showing his affection to her?

The atmosphere around the car became awkward for the both of them. Because of the promise he made his wife, Lu Yifeng was chained by it.

Arriving in the hotel where the Gala was being held, the event was extravagant and studded with stars.

Elegant music was resounding the hall. waitress and waiters were weaving their way around the guests as they balanced their serving trays. There were well known artists and businessmen seen in the place, chatting and holding wine glasses.

When Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin entered the dining hall, they were quickly noticed by everyone.

Everyone in that room knows who they were. Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin were the two power couples that the social media has been talking about lately, ever since their marriage with each other was released.

"Meimei!"

Xia Meilin turned and saw Li Bingbing walking towards her. She was accompanied by an ash grey haired man who Xia Meilin knows. It was none other than Lu Xian Yu.

Li Bingbing was wearing a strapless red dress with a thigh-high slit. She looked different that night, especially when she was not wearing her glasses. Unlike Xia Meilin who gave off a delicate and elegant look, Li Bingbing was sexy, bewitching everyone with her bold look.

Meanwhile, as usual Lu Xian Yu looked like he was up to something because of his mischievous look. His ash grey hair was neatly pulled back. He was wearing an white tuxedo with a black bow. Aside from that, Lu Xian Yu has a golden earring on his left earlobe and this enhanced his frivolous face.

The moment Lu Yifeng saw Li Bingbing, his eyes became as cold as hell.

"Bingbing, what are you doing here?" Xia Meilin couldn't help but ask since she knows that Li Bingbing wasn't the type of person who will attend such events.

Li Bingbing pointed her thumb to Lu Xian Yu. "He dragged me here."

Lu Xian Yu placed his hand on her waist, "I need a partner, you're the best choice I have." He chuckled as he leaned down and gave Li Bingbing a peck on her lips in front of everyone. This made her earn jealous stares from the women who were eyeing Lu Xian Yu.

Seeing the two act so intimate, Xia Meilin couldn't help but ask, "Are you two dating?"

Did Li Bingbing actually went and meet him that night? Did Lu Xian Yu deceived her? Lu Xian Yu is a player! How can she date someone like him?!

"Nah, we're just friends." Li Bingbing said as she grabbed a glass of wine from the waiter that was holding a tray of it.

"... Friends?"

Lu Xian Yu nodded, confirming what Li Bingbing said. "Yes. We're just friends."

Xia Meilin suddenly felt a chill run down her spine which made her turn to Lu Yifeng.

"They're friends." He said with his low and deep voice.

Although, the way he said it was different as if there was a continuation in it. Xia Meilin was able to understand his envious stare. It was telling her that, 'they're friends and yet they shared a kissed with each other, so why can't we?'
