"Thank you," Xiao Yun heard him speaking the words with a soft smile. She knew what he was thanking her for and nodded to accept her words. She didn't do for anyone's thanks not from Qingge nor Wang Li Lei but there was her proudness to be able to change the future of Qingge and help her before she met her demise. She hoped that by changing the little things in her life the butterfly effect would help to create ripples and changes from the future she was before.

Before her eyes went back to her papers, Wang Li Lei took a schedule book and placed it in front of her with another black files. "Look at this," he said opening the book to one month before the year ended.

She carefully read the month's schedule which was filled with writings but there was a particular day which was empty with only one writing of 'party'. She inclined her head slightly. "What is this party for?" Xiao Yun asked, placing a finger to the schedule he gave.

"The last time our party engagement didn't go well and grandfather along with grandmother said that an engagement have to be celebrated with many people and they prepared a date where we would be free to hold our engagement party." Xiao Yun looked at him with wide eyes like a shocked squirrel who had just saw a tree filled with nuts.

"Grandfather and grandmother did?" Did that mean they have accepted her subtly?

"Yes, they did. I had checked your schedule beforehand but to make sure, are you free on this day?"

"Of course!" she replied her cheeks were pulled up to her eyes when she beamed with a smile. It was one of the best news she had heard in her year. Wang Elder may still have objection against her but seeing that they have moved forward she felt happy and so was Wang Li Lei.

He kissed her cheeks pulling her hands he then saw some scratches on her hand which seemed to come from wounds. "What happen to your fingers?"

"Fingers?" Xiao Yun looked down to see her wounded hands that happens when she was making cake this morning. "I cut my fingers when I tried to cook before. You know they say bride should be good at cooking."

"If it would hurt your hands, you don't have to be a good cook. I can do it for you."

"But I want to do this myself also, I want to see you eat my best dishes!"

"Mhm. Seeing you working hard, I have to praise you for your hard works." he replied and she looked at him confused. Was thanking not a praise? Her eyes saw how Wang Li Lei had smiled, a glint passed to his eyes which she could tell the little mischief he had. Her pen she held fell when he took her hands by the palm, she felt his cold hands from being in the cold room for a long time caressed her fingers.

He first kissed the tips of her fingernails, she felt his breaths brushing her hands, then his lips moved to stop on the middle of her fingers to plant a kiss and moved to her knuckles this was still fine until she felt his tongue moved out to her the back of her fingers and licked the wound that was still fresh.

She retracted her hand to her chest, her face was all red from his behavior. "Not here." she said, her head still remembering that the room was filled with CCTV that constantly being watch by the security.

"Mhm. I will continue when we get back home." Wang Li Lei retracted his hands down to the table.

"That's not what I meant!" she drew her brows at his play and felt his hand taking her again. She looked at his eyes across her fingers as he smiled wide.

"We should continue now then?" his fingers entered her wrist and she shuddered at his his touch. Seeing her brows furrowed and eyes slightly hesitate with the fever, Wang Li Lei who planned to only tease her a little frowned, "You shouldn't make that expression here." she missed his whisper when he had kissed her lips. Moving his lips, he lick her tongue and she could only feel her reason to stop him flew away off her mind.

"I will also call the lawyer for you. You will need it soon after the competition." Wang Li Lei said as soon as his lips left hers. She wanted to commend him for his quick switch from his seducing mode to his working mode but then she saw how his eyes were still storming with the pleasure that showed if he didn't speak about work now, he would loose himself and bring her down.

"That's not necessary, I already have a lawyer, Han Mi Er gave me a recommendation."

"Okay." She felt him rubbing her head, "It's late now, we should go home. Since you will be sleeping with Qingge and Shi Ning, we will have to postpone using the gem until tomorrow."

Xiao Yun felt a little disappointed with the words but there was Qingge's mental state that they need to take care of and she felt postponing a day wouldn't be a loss as she was also a little drained in both psychical and mental whenever she found new informations from the dream.

The journey back home was silent and Xiao Yun felt drowsy with the sky turning dark and the cold weather surrounding her. She didn't know when she had began to sleep and leaned her head to Wang Li Lei's shoulders. But in her dream when she had fallen asleep, she felt the soft touch brushing her hairs and a warmth on her back.

It was only until the car stopped that Xiao Yun woke up by chance, if she hadn't woke up, Wang Li Lei would have carried her inside the house by his arms. She stood from his shoulders looking at how his body had tilted to her side she whispered, "Thank you."

"No problem." Wang Li Lei said and opened the door when Hi Gu Yan who had been told to come home before them came running to the car. Xiao Yun round his expression looking grim as if he had just been greeted by grim reaper's and drew her brows.
