Chapter 184 - 183: Day and Night

"Perhaps if you don't know the cooperation, you would better know Mu Lan Music Hall." 

Xiao Yun jumped from the sudden voice coming across her shoulder and hugged Wang Li Lei's waist to jump back. The man who spoke smiled gently making the beauty spot under his lips to show. He had a high nose, elegant feature, gentle strong black eyes, and very pale skin as white as snow. He was exceedingly beautiful yet the way he smiles had some mischievous in it. He looked like someone who hates boredom and lingered in amus.e.m.e.nt. 

"Did I surprised you? My apologies." Xiao Yun gave a murmur of uh and kept her distance from the man. 

Wang Li Lei placed his hand over Xiao Yun to guard her and furrowed his brows at his senior who was currently chuckling happily from his reaction. "Don't be too angry, little Lei. I'm not going to do anything." Liu Yan Hui spoke in a laid-back tone, making Xiao Yun to mark him as a rather easy-going person.

From the way he called Wang Li Lei 'little' without any fright and instead laughing, he seemed to have a close relationship with him. "This is CEO Liu, the person that I mentioned before." Wang Li Lei introduced, his eyes cooly brushed over the man. 

"I'm Liu Yan Hui, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Yu." Liu Yan Hui extended his hand and Xiao Yun return back his greetings. 

"Likewise, good evening CEO Liu, but... I don't think I've introduced myself yet. May I ask how do you know my name?" For an important person to know her name before she introduced herself was weird enough for her to take a note on.

"Uh-" Liu Yan Hui looked to the man beside Xiao Yun and grinned elegantly. "Someone here has a hobby of talking about you for day and night." 

Xiao Yun understood Lu Yan Hui's pointing the someone to be Wang Li Lei and found him acting as though he can't understand what Liu Yan Hui was talking about to be adorable. 

"You asked before what my corporation specialized in, right? I think you have heard the name of Mu Lan Music Hall before, haven't you? It's one of the halls that are under my corporation." 

The Mu Lan music hall is a hall where operas and music arts performed at. But what made the Music Hall to become famous were because all the performances in Mu Lan Music Hall are always in their top qualities that many professionals dreamt to perform live for once there. Many socialites found the place to be the best theater where they could show off their wealth and there are rarely people in the Capital who haven't hear the Music Hall name.

"Of course, I never visited the place before but the music hall is the place that I want to visit the most." Xiao Yun has always loved musical theaters however she rarely saw them live.

"That's an honor to hear." Liu Yan Hui offered a grateful smile and pulled up tickets from his pocket and passed it to Xiao Yun. "In that case, you should visit the hall. Coincidently, my favorite pianist would be performing next week, if you have time perhaps you and the man beside you could come."

Wang Li Lei said nothing as he only took an important note in his mind that he should bring Xiao Yun to theaters as she seemed to be greatly pleased by Liu Yan Hui's offer. 

"Thank you very much, CEO Liu, but... I can't possibly bother you with it." 

"No worries, in the first place these tickets are actually something that I wanted to give to little Lei and to thank you. I would be very happy if you two could come." 

'Thank me?' Xiao Yun c.o.c.ked her head to the side at those words. "Then, thank you very much." 

"Don't mention it." Liu Yan Hui placed the tickets on Xiao Yun's hand and veered the conversation. "I have been halting you two from entering the hall, let's go inside the party should we?" 

Xiao Yun murmured a thank and walked inside the party hall to be greeted by many eyes and instance dead silence the moment she entered. People scanned the lady beside Wang Li Lei with scrutinizing eyes, trying to solve the puzzle on the identity of the lady who lovingly hugged Wang Li Lei's hand without receiving and irritated expression from the Demon Lord. 

As it was Xiao Yun's first time in attending a party with only socialites, she did expect the stares but it was far different than any of the stares she usually received. She could feel envy, jealousy, mockery, and hatred mixing in the beautiful party hall. 

Xiao Yun faced up to see Wang Li Lei's face having the unchanging indifference and understood once again how amazing he was for being able to endure the fake disgusting smiles that they used storm such a young age alone without his parents. 

"Who's that lady beside CEO Wang? It's not Ms. Lin." A woman spoke in her group to have her friend shooking their heads. 

"I also haven't seen her before. Is she the daughter of Ku Family?" 

"I don't think she is. I have seen her before but not the lady there. Who do you think it may be? They're linking each other very lovingly, perhaps they are in a relationship?" The rest of the women hopped in the exciting news, wondering who could the lady be. 

Not far from the place, a lady dressed in an elegant deep crimson-colored dress snapped her beautiful face when she heard the person beside her murmuring the arrival of Wang Li Lei and placed her drink to her secretary. "I will be going now, then everyone. I hope you all have a pleasant evening." She wished to the people from her line of work and hurry herself to finally meet Wang Li Lei. 

When she did arrive and found Wang Li Lei's figure, she composed herself to greet him but her heels stopped when she saw a delicate girl embracing Wang Li Lei's hand to speak with him. 

"Do you think you are free on the day of the performance? Its a day after my university exam." Xiao Yun faced up and asked. 

"I am." He saw something stuck on her hair and took it off. 

"Then let's go together." Xiao Yun saw him nodding. "I'm very excited to visit the hall. It's my first time to attend a classical performance and a pianist to perform live." Deep down, Xiao Yun wasn't only excited by the performance but also the date that they promise. She could feel the sole of her feet tapping from the delightful thought. 

"Li Lei." A woman's voice called Wang Li Lei's name with a loving tone, making Xiao Yun's lips to twitch on its own. She turned her face and found the person whom she had seen once from the news. The person who was said to be in a relationship with Wang Li Lei, Lin Chang Lu. 

Lin Chang Lu gazed up at Wang Li Lei, her face being apparent that she was ignoring Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun didn't put much thought and faintly stare at Lin Chang Lu's face. She had a small face and large confident eyes, the beautiful picture that they took in the news was completely similar to her real look. 

'No wonder everyone called her a beauty perfect for Li Lei. Her face and her figure was on point. Even if someone lined her up with Zhi Ling Ling, her face wouldn't lose. But-' Xiao Yun didn't know the hand gripping on Wang Li Lei's to tighten. 'Calling him with such a clinging tone is very out of the line.'

"Ms. Lin." Wang Li Lei greeted briefly, putting distance by calling him in his cold way. Lin Chang Lu's confidence didn't recoil from the distance he placed and instead continued with her talk. 

" It has been a long time since we meet each other. How are you?" 

"I'm in good health." A robotic answer came from his lips. He looked blankly irritated for the woman to keep on talking but seemed to be holding his anger a little. 

"That's great to hear. How are grandfather Wang and grandmother? I haven't visited your home for a long time." Lin Chang Lu pointed out, making Xiao Yun to feel jealous. 

"Take care of your words, Ms. Lin." Wang Li Lei warned but she didn't seem to mind his warning as she did it deliberately. Turning her eyes, she finally asked Xiao Yun that had been ignored like an air for a long time. "Ah, I didn't see you. Li Lei, who my this young lady be? I haven't seen her before." 

Xiao Yun pulled her lips fleetingly, showing a gentle pair of gaze as she smiled like an angel. "Good evening, my name is Yu Xiao Yun, Li Lei's fiancée. Nice to meet you, Ms. Lin." 

"Fiancée?" A surprised tone escaped from Lin Chang Lu's lips. She was in England for more than four months before she left, she was a hundred percent sure when she came back Wang Li Lei's grandparents would ask her to become his fiancée. 

However, suddenly a little lady with a naive face introduced herself as his fiancée, the spot where she had always worked hard to be. "She is your fiancée, Li Lei?" She tried to compose her voice when she asked, but the tremble could be heard clearly. 

"Yes, Xiao Yun is my fiancée." Wang Li Lei confirmed, a gentle smile coloring his cold face as he was happy Xiao Yun introducing herself as his fiancée. He couldn't wait to introduce her as his beloved to the whole world. If he had known the delight earlier, he had surely done it faster. 

Shock colored the beautiful face of Lin Chang Lu. Xiao Yun didn't bat her eyes on her shocked expression and could see the hatred passing on her eyes when she glared at her. 

"I have heard a lot about you, Ms. Lin. For such a young person with a successful career, you are the goal of many women in the capital." Xiao Yun exchanged her kind words. Being Wang Li Lei's fiancée, conversing with people is her responsibility, but she wouldn't lose in the game of fake kindness that the socialites gave, especially to the woman who seemed to be very in love with her man.
