The 3 B's - Beauty, Brains And Bravery

Xi Yuan picked up the call , " Evening , Senior. "

Zhi Xi : " Hmmm..... Evening . Is Xinghe anywhere near you ?! She isn't picking up my calls . "

Xi Yuan : " Uh... Yeah ! She is just freshening up in the washroom . Party is over now . About her phone , maybe its battery is dead . "

Zhi Xi : " Ok. She is fine , right ? "

Xi Yuan : " Yeah ! Its just .... she seemed a bit upset , earlier . "

Zhi Xi : " What happened ? "

Xi Yuan : " Someone asked her if she ever loved someone. Since then , she seems to be a little zoned out ! "

Zhi Xi stayed silent for sometime . He then sighed , " Yuan , listen to me ! No matter what , don't leave her alone tonight ! I am currently in Germany with Lu Wei , so we can't rush back there. You are closest to her currently so.....

" Look Yuan . She had a terrible past , be it her family or her love life ! She can't be left alone even for a second tonight ! Either try to put her to bed or stay awake with her ! Understood ?! "

Xi Yuan was a little stunned when he heard that his girl was once in a serious yet terrible romantic relationship . He thought that her past was connected only to the Rong family . But apparently , there was more to it !

Xi Yuan nodded , " Alright Senior ! I will not leave her alone for even a millisecond ! Ok ?! "

Zhi Xi : " Hmmm.... And one more thing ! "

Xi Yuan : " Yeah ? "

Zhi Xi : " Keep Xi Ying with you. "

Xi Yuan : " Why ?! "

Zhi Xi : " Do you think I am an idiot who would allow a man to take care of my sister for an entire night ?! "

Xi Yuan : " ... "

And do you think I am an idiot who would leave an opportunity to spend some alone time with my girl by involving my sister into the mix ?!

Xi Yuan : " Okay ! "

Both the men then hung up .

At this moment , Rong Xinghe walked out of the changing room .

She was wearing a Maroon coloured night dress which had flower pattern designs on it . She looked just like an angel with no hint of her manly outfit .

But she couldn't walk straight because she was drunk like a fish !

She stumbled on her feet and was about to fall when Xi Yuan grabbed her by her waist as he pulled her closer , " Careful ! You drank too much tonight , Xinghe ! "

Rong Xinghe was in a complete 'drunkard' mode by now .

So , she obviously had no rational control over her emotions or thoughts .

The girl looked at Xi Yuan , blinked at him for a while and then smiled , " Yuan ! I want more beer ! "

" Nope !! You've already drank a lot ! "

" Please ! "

Xi Yuan couldn't reject her request , especially , when she looked so beautiful and those puppy eyes were obviously .... a plus . There was no trace of Lu Xi anymore ! Only his girl !!

" Okay ! But it will be the last glass ! "

Rong Xinghe nodded her head vigorously !

Xi Yuan took her to the bar side and poured her a glass of alcohol . The girl took the glass and started drinking as fast as she could .

Xi Yuan got an emergency call from his office. He picked it up and when he returned back , he saw that the girl was crying !

The man quickly rushed towards his girl with concern visible on his face , " Hey Xinghe ! What happened ?! Did you hurt yourself somewhere ?! Did someone said you something ?! What's wrong ?! "

Rong Xinghe said between her sobs , " H.. how could he do that to me ?! H.. he thought so bad about me ..... Yuan ! I kept c...crying ! I kept b...begging him to j...just listen me once !! B ... But he didn't heard a word I said !!! Aaahh ! "

He observed that she had started to shiver from the cold wind on the terrace and she was so drunk that she could not even walk properly !

He quickly covered her shoulders with his tuxedo jacket and lifted her up with his strong arms . The girl stopped crying and didn't even struggled to get away from him . Instead , she snuggled up in his warm embrace as if a bird had found its nest !!!

Xi Yuan took her into his VIP Suite of a Seven Star Hotel , which was just in front of William's apartment .

He laid down the girl on the bed , but realized that she wasn't asleep . She just kept quiet for a long time .

He placed his palm on her head and asked gently , " Do you want to talk about it ?! "

The girl froze for a moment as she heard the question .

Did she wanted to talk about that ?!

Yes !!!

She wanted to let it all out !!

She looked at the man in front of her . She didn't knew why , but this man always gave her a sense of security whenever she looked at him. He had never mistreated her . In fact , she had started to trust him . She felt extremely comfortable around him .

So.....she could trust him with this as well !

Rong Xinghe nodded indicating that she wanted to tell him about it .

Xi Yuan smiled and took her hands into his as he wiped her tears . He knew how difficult it was for her to open up about her past in front of him .

" Tell me , Xinghe. "

" So... you know that I don't have a healthy relationship with the Rong family , right ?! "

Xi Yuan nodded .

" It is due to the fact that I had gone through a painful incident when I was 13 , because of them. It is a story for another day ! But after that incident , I broke all my ties with the Rong family . As a family , I only had my Six brothers . They have brought me up to be strong and independent . So , I followed my wishes and worked for 'Youth Team' and 'NGO' . I learned to speak many languages. I continued my education.

" So ..... I was in my higher school when I first met him . His name is Zhou Che . He was two years older than me . We were signed up for a debate on a political topic . We both had to debate with each other about accountability of the government to the public. Our debate was the longest one and it lasted for almost five hours . But eventually , I had won that debate. "

Xi Yuan clenched his teeth when he heard that she knew him since her school days .

He couldn't show his jaleousy in front of her , so , he kept listening her every word calmly .

He wanted to know how that bastard had hurt her to this extent !!!

He wasn't there for her at that time . So he might as well help her decrease the pain .
