"Su Fai, what are you doing? Do you know how embarrassed I got?" Lin Xinyi gently punched Su Fai's arms and the man feigned all nonchalance to his previous act.
"What was I doing? I was simply celebrating my girlfriend's success. How am I wrong to do that?" He said and Lin Xinyi opened and closed her mouth without having anything to say.
As if already guessed her expression, Su Fai smiled. His arms got more cozy around her. "You deserve all the happiness. All that you wish for."
Lin Xinyi didn't speak but her heart felt warmth. Her lips curled up in a smile and she enjoyed her moments with him.
After a while, she stepped back and looked into his eyes. The shine that had once gotten lost, returned to her gaze. Holding his hands into hers, she said, "Thank you for making me believe in this side of me again. This wouldn't have been possible if you had not come to my life in the way you have come."
Her words might be simple but the emotions with which she delivered it reached directly to the man's heart. It was a difficult emotion to express. To not make it to thought, he smiled instead and took a step back.
Giving an appreciative acceptance bow, he said, "The honor has always been mine since always, my lady!"
Seeing him like that, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but laugh. And seeing her smile, Su Fai was satisfied.
After a moment, when everything was settled, Lin Xinyi shook her head and then went to take her phone.
"What are you doing?" When Su Fai looked at her doing that, he asked in confusion.
And dialing the number, she said, "This is such big news. Being Li Xue's manager, I need to tell her."
Saying that she put the phone on her ears which got connected almost immediately. "Hello, Xiao Xue!" She initiated and the reply came immediately.
"Sister Xinyi, did things escalate too much? Actually, I should have been a bit more mindful. But believe me, I didn't expect to regain the memory that day. I was..."
"Li Xue, I am happy that you got your memory back. Why are you even apologizing to me? There is nothing to apologize for. Furthermore, even though things have escalated a bit, it is nothing serious. People are dealing with it and soon it will be all resolved. And you will be happy to know that more than people's views on you and President Feng is not negative. Instead, they are all appreciating it."
"Few people are even saying that they wanted this to happen when in the past they had seen the two of you in a rumor together." Lin Xinyi informed everything that had happened in a gist to not drag the time.
When Li Xue heard it on the other side, she was quite surprised. Since the things got revealed, Li Xue has kept herself away from the internet. She didn't check what was happening online.
'
But she still has been expecting the internet to crash. Not because it was about her but because it was Feng Shufen who was involved in it. How could the news not get hyped up?
"Is that so?" Li Xue's voice became suspicious as her eyes trailed to look at the person who wasn't sitting too far from her.
Lin Xinyi didn't catch the hidden tone in her voice and simply hummed. "Mhm. So, you don't have to worry actually. Also, there is something else I need to tell. You know you have gotten nominated for the Supermodel of Chiboa Award. And from some insider news, it is confirmed that you are also the winner."
She said, and absentmindedly, Li Xue simply replied, "Oh!"
Expecting cheers when Lin Xinyi received a simple 'oh', her brows furrowed and enquired, "Just an 'oh'. Xiao Xue, have you even heard me properly? I said you will be getting the Supermodel of Chiboa Award."
She repeated and getting out of her daze, Li Xue felt confused at the context for a moment. "Huh?" But then realizing it, she corrected, "Oh, yes, Sister Xinyi. I heard. I am getting the Supermodel of Chiboa Award. Thank you for helping me throughout. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible."
She said, but it still didn't satisfy Lin Xinyi. Feeling something amiss between her words, Lin Xinyi asked, "Li Xue, your response still does not seem like something that I expected. So, tell me, did you know this from before? I mean you are not at all surprised when we were all out of the place when we came to read the letter of invitation."
Although Lin Xinyi did not expect Li Xue to jump at the news, she still expected to hear her surprise. And this clearly meant that the girl knew the things before.
Li Xue coughed a bit and rubbed her nose. Feeling guilty of not informing before, she said, "That Sister Xinyi, I can't say that I knew of it properly. But you can say, I had the hints."
"You mean?"
"Ah that Ma has given me the registration file earlier and there I have read the royal project getting applied for the consideration in the Supermodel Award. So, basically, I had expected something like this to happen. Although I wasn't sure, still I was confident in my mother's ability to make people accept her command."
She said and her words sounded like she was boasting about her mother. Suddenly Lin Xinyi felt envious of the girl. Even though she had blissful days with her family in the past, seeing Li Xue's privileges now still makes her feel it was different from what she had received.
Not understanding how to fight with the childish jealousy she was feeling, Lin Xinyi simply said, "I am happy for you, Li Xue. Have a rest now. You shouldn't take too much stress at the moment. I will call you to discuss the rest."
Hearing that Li Xue hummed and soon the call got disconnected. Once over with the call, she took a deep breath before turning to look at the man who was seeming all busy with his work.
"Mr. Beelzebub, do you think you have something to tell me about?"
