"Where are you taking me to?" Ru Shi inquired, looking at Gan Dewei who did not respond. Ru Shi took out her phone when Gan Dewei snatched her phone away. "What do you think you are doing? Give my phone right away," muttered Ru Shi in anger.

"I am not going to harm you. I will never. So, be quiet," stated Gan Dewei.

"Where are you taking me to? I have works to do," asserted Ru Shi. Gan Dewei told her to be quiet and kept driving. After 30 minutes, Gan Dewei applied the brakes, in front of a grand hotel. He told Ru Shi to step down who refused to do so. Gan Dewei got out of the car and then pulled her out from the other side. He handed the keys to the chauffeur there, thus telling him to park the car and walked in with Ru Shi.

"Where are you taking me to? Can you not see I am in nightclothes and everyone is looking at me? Leave me, I want to go home," Ru Shi told him in a threatening voice when Gan Dewei said, "you should not worry about other's attention. I should be your prime focus." Saying this he took her to the private dining room which he booked for them for Christmas. The manager of the hotel welcomed them and told him that everything is prepared.

They both got inside the private room. Ru Shi saw six other people were seated around a grand table. Ru Shi looked at Gan Dewei who was smiling. "Are they his friends?" thought Ru Shi when Gan Dewei looked at her and took her further in. His friends started teasing him.

"So, this gem you were talking about? Hello, I am Disung." One of them introduced to her. She bowed her head slightly with a faint smile on her lips. "I am Ru Shi." She blinked her eyes and looked at the faces who were staring at her.

"Ru, have a seat," said Gan Dewei and pulled out a chair for him, thus making her sit down on the chair. She looked at the three other girls who were giggling whispering something in each other's ears. "Why did he take me here? It is uncomfortable," thought Ru Shi when Gan Dewei called her name.

"Huh?" Ru Shi mumbled and looked at him.

"Hey, do not frighten her. Ru Shi, our friend lacks social relationships. We 6 still cannot able to believe he has something who he likes," said Binyamin with a smile.

"But why are you wearing such cheap clothes? You should have thought about Gan Dewei's reputation," the girl named Huiqing said.

"Ahh, stop you all. Let's start the Christmas dinner. Waiter," Gan Dewei called loudly. The waiters came there and started serving the dinner to them. It was Ru Shi's first time in such a place. She looked at the others and started eating.

"What do you do Ru Shi?" Mingzhu asked, the girl among them.

"I am studying and I have a part-time job," replied Ru Shi.

"Gan Dewei, you are dating a student? Unbelievable!" stated Sun Shan.

"So, what? I can date anyone I like," snapped Dewei at him and told him not to ask too many questions from Ru Shi. From the chopstick, he put something over Ru Shi's plate and said, "Eat." She nodded and continued eating. Dewei's other friend, Wengquian offered wine to Ru Shi but she refused.

"You do not drink? Do not tell us you are minor," said Huiqing.

"I am not minor. I do not drink," Ru Shi answered. Gan Dewei took the glass from Wengquian's hand and sipped the wine in a shot. "Do not offer her drinks. She has college work to do after dinner," stated Gan Dewei.

"I did not tell you that I have college work," Ru Shi said and looked at him suspiciously.

"In the car you said- you have many works to do so it is of course the college work," muttered Dewei and got seated on his chair. They all were talking, laughing with each other while Ru Shi was just hearing all of them like she did not exist there. After she was done eating dinner, she excused herself to go to the washroom when Huiqing offered to go with her. They both walked out of the room.

"Are you two really dating? Seems like she does not like you," stated Disung.

"It is from my side right now but I am sure she will soon start liking me," proclaimed Gan Dewei.

"She is the girl who thinks you murdered her father. I have seen her in the court many times with Chang Xin," stated Wengquian. Gan Dewei did not say anything. "Why are you with that mafia? Just tell your father about all that," stated Binyamin. Gan Dewei huffed and sipped the wine from the glass.

In the washroom, Ru Shi was washing her hands and face whereas Huiqing was applying some makeup over her face. "Why are you so nervous? Are you two really dating?" she then asked. Ru Shi, who was wiping her face from the tissues, looked at her.

"No, we are not," replied Ru Shi and threw the tissue in the bin.

"Then why are you here today?" Huiqing questioned and looked at her from head to toe. "You came here in slippers," murmured Huiqing and chuckled. She then walked out from there while Ru Shi followed her. Once they came inside the room, Ru Shi told Gan Dewei she had to leave but he told him to sit for a few more minutes.

Ru Shi did so and sat on the chair. Again they started chatting while Ru Shi was aloof from those conversations. "It was a nice birthday party. This is the first time you have celebrated this and we are happy," said Mingzhu.

Ru Shi blinked her eyes as she did not know today was Gan Dewei's birthday. His friends started giving him the gifts while Ru Shi was looking at all of them. "Ru Shi have you given him the gift? What did you gift him?" Disung questioned. Others curiously looked at her.

"It is inside the car and I am not going to tell you so do not ask her," Gan Dewei lied. Ru Shi kept mum as she did not know what to do in such a situation. After a while, his friends left from there. Now, Ru Shi and Gan Dewei were alone in that private room. The table was already cleaned and there was complete silence between them. Finally, Ru Shi broke the ice and asked, "why did you not cut the cake? It was your birthday."

"Because I do not like cake," Gan Dewei answered.

Ru Shi was chuckled hearing his response. "Who does not like cake?" she mumbled when Gan Dewei caught her words. "I do not like the cakes at all," muttered Gan Dewei.

"Why did you lie to them that we are dating?" Ru Shi asked.

"I did not lie. Indeed I am dating you," Gan Dewei replied.

"But I never said I will date you," Ru Shi murmured and averted her gaze away from him. "Will you dance with me?" Gan Dewei asked.

"No," Ru Shi instantly refused which made Gan Dewei laugh. "I was just asking in general. I know you do not know how to dance," muttered Dewei.

"Who told you I do not dance. Stop assuming things," snapped Ru Shi back at him.

"Then let's dance and show me what have you got?" stated Gan Dewei. Ru Shi got up from the chair and said, "I will dance but I have a condition."

Chuckling Gan Dewei asked, "What condition?" and stood up.

"Answer my one question after the dance truthfully," Ru Shi said. Gan Dewei agreed to her and stepped towards her. "You have to dance good for that," Gan Dewei stated and grabbed her hands. Putting his hands over his shoulder, he turned on the music on his phone and they both rhythmically started dancing.

Ru Shi was quite shorter in front of Gan Dewei's well-built body. It was like she was standing close to a tower. She kept her eyes down when Gan Dewei said, "at least look into my eyes while dancing." Ru Shi raised her eyes and looked into his dark eyes. "You are quite short," Gan Dewei stated and smiled.

"Then find a tall girl to dance with you," pronounced Ru Shi.

"I do not like other girls to be this closer to me," said Gan Dewei.

"Then I should not be standing close to you," saying this Ru Shi pulled her hands back when Gan Dewei caught them. "I said, other girls. You are not some other girl," he stated. His one hand went back to Ru Shi's waist. He pulled her up and said, "at least give me a Christmas gift."

"What?" Ru Shi exclaimed when Gan Dewei's thumb ran over Ru Shi's lips. Shivers went down her body when she started pushing him. In a trembling, she spoke, "leave me. I have to go home."

"The music is still going on," said Gan Dewei and leaned towards her lips. "I will wait for my birthday gift." He whispered against her lips and released her. At the same time, the music stopped. Ru Shi took a breath of relief and then said, "Now my time to ask one question from you." Gan Dewei nodded.

"Who killed my father?" Ru Shi finally asked. Gan Dewei looked at her and the two kept staring at each other.
