Rong Xinghe choked on her beer as soon as Xi Yuan's mutterings reached her ears. Was her indifferent Yuan getting jealous ? Again ? How cute !

The girl laughed softly before she gently fed the man with the hotpot from her bowl ,"Don't worry. I love my Yuan more."

"You better do !", the man smiled ,"I hope that you know that I trust you. Its just that you are so amazing that I..."

"...fear that someone will snatch me away from you ?", Rong Xinghe completed the man's unsaid words ,"Mr. RichXi , rest assured , you are destined for my craziness for all your life now. No matter who enters my life , you will be the only one going through all my tantrums. Got it ?"

"I am honoured , Ma'jolie !", Xi Yuan said as he pushed back the girl's hair behind her ears , so that she could eat more comfortably.

Later , the couple roamed around in the streets of the city aimlessly , holding each other's hands. Rong Xinghe had many places to show to her darling , after all. Her favourite local park , where her bro Mo used to bring her when she was nine. And the ice-cream parlour , which served 12 scoops in a big tub with the challenge for two people to finish it in one hour. Also , she introduced Xi Yuan to an old fruits wendor , who had lost his daughter and thought of her as his own kin because her eyes looked just like his baby girl.

Xi Yuan had never seen this side of Rong Xinghe before. He knew that the girl enjoyed living a simple and down-to-earth life , and that she loved interacting with new and different people. But he had never thought that she cared about her public so much. He realized that , for her , these commoners were a part of her being. They weren't just some random strangers she was protecting. In fact , she saw a lot of potential in them. And that was what she was trying to protect , her nation's future.

"What are you thinking ?", the girl asked the man as she saw him looking at her in a daze.

Xi Yuan shook his head , but wasn't able to hide his silly smile. At last , he gave up and kissed the back of the girl's hand lovingly ,"I have fallen for you once again today. This was the second best day of my life. Thank you so much !"

A curious smile appeared across the girl's lips as she looked at the man beside her ,"And what was your first best day ?"

"The day when I saw you , sweetheart.", Xi Yuan replied honestly.

Rong Xinghe quickly buried her face in the man's arms as soon as she remembered their first meet. Was this man trying to flirt with her ? Damn ! And why the hell was she blushing like an idiot ?

"How could that day be a nice one ? That was so embarrassing for me ! I took you as a bartender. And I was even planning to hire you as my personal barkeep. How could that be a good experience ?", the girl mumbled.

"Hush. That was the time my eyes landed on the most beautiful woman in the world. I saw the most adorable smile , the most mesmerizing eyes and the most bewitching soul that night. Don't you dare to say that it was a bad experience. Your every wish has been my responsibility since then. Be it making a Virgin Mojito for you or be it walking aimlessly on the roads with you , I can do that all my life. Alright ?", the man scolded the girl , without any trace of anger in his tone.

"Hmm.", the girl nodded obediently. How could she forget that it was a 'love at first sight' for her darling ? Although their first meet was embarrassing for her , for him , it was completely different. It was only normal for him to want to cherish and capture those memories.

At this time , from the corner of her eyes , Rong Xinghe saw two familiar figures.

"What the....", the girl's eyes widened as she pulled Xi Yuan's arms.

Xi Yuan furrowed his brows and followed the direction where Rong Xinghe was looking. The scene in front of them was shocking and surprising at the same time. Rong Xiao and Xi Wei were sitting together in a local restaurant and they were sharing the same Blue lagoon with two straws. After sometime , Xi Wei leaned in on the girl and placed a soft kiss against her right cheek.

"Oh my good god !", Rong Xinghe screamed , attracting the attention of the people in the market.

Xi Yuan noticed the stares and gazes on them. Reflexively , his hands landed on Rong Xinghe's waist as he pulled her into a tight hug ,"I missed you so much darling ! These past three years have been so difficult. We will never part from each other again. Promise !"

As a result , the man's words were able to convince the crowd , that him and the girl had been in a long distance relationship and that they had just met after all those years. Naturally , everyone understood how difficult and lonely long distance relationships could be. So it wasn't wierd for the girl to behave like that at all. Few seconds later , the crowd gradually got dissipated.

"Let's go home first , okay ?", Xi Yuan asked the girl , still locking her in his warm ebmbrace.

"Y... yeah.", the girl responded , absent-minded.

"What should we do now ? How will we explain this to my brothers ? Oh my god !", as soon as they reached Elite Saphhire Penthouse , Rong Xinghe started pacing back and forth in the living room with anxiety.

Xi Yuan shook his head and helped the girl sit down on a couch before he held her hands into his and looked straight into her eyes ,"Do you not trust Wei ? And be honest. For me , there is no difference between him and Xiao. Every individual close to you is important to me as well. So tell me Xinghe. What is going on in your mind ? Do you not consent their relationship ?"

"Yuan... the concern here isn't my consent. I allow Xiao to make her decisions , when it comes to relationships. But I am more worried about what my brothers will think of this !", the girl cupped her cheeks with the man's warm hands before she looked back at him earnestly.

"What do you mean ?", the man frowned ,"They don't like Wei ?"

"Do you really think convincing them is so easy ? Even when it was about you , they were unwilling to consider our relationship. But at that time , the Xi family's internal clashes and your past were their concerns. They were also worried if you would prioritize me , provided your hectic work schedule. Thankfully , they acknowledged your personality and character from the beginning. They also knew that you genuinely loved me. And that was how they finally came around.

"But when it comes to Wei , they simply think that he is a playboy. And obvioisly , no brother would allow their sister to hang out with a creep. So if I conclude , your brother might be in some serious danger , Mr. Xi !", the girl pinched Xi Yuan's nose and kissed his forehead before she stood up and walked away.

Xi Yuan : "....."

Playboy ? Creep ? His brother ?
