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 ! "

The moment Xi Yuan saw the pitiful state of his girl , he clenched his fists. He knew that she was talking about the man in her past ! He was just irritated by the fact that someone had hurt her so much ! She was such a strong woman , yet she broke down !!! What the hell had that person done to her ?!

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 .
