Same night , 2:00 a.m.
Military Chief Office
"Long live Country X , Military Chief !", assistant Shou Wu stood up from his seat as soon as Rong Xinghe strode inside the Military Chief Office's control room.
"Long live Country X. Show me the footage quickly !", the girl nodded her head at the old man and grabbed a chair for herself.
"Here it is , Military Chief.", Feng Mian pointed her index finger towards one of the monitor screens. The CCTV footage showed Country X's three soldiers , tied down to chairs , with a lot of bruises across their faces and bodies. One was a 21 year old woman while the other two were men , in their early 30's. They were captured by the 'Werewolf Crew' and were currently in an unconscious state.
"Damn it !", the girl clenched her fists and stood up from her seat.
"They were investigating the 'Werewolf Crew' , boss.", one of the military subordinates explained ,"We are extremely sorry. We lost the track of their location for sometime and they were captured in the meantime."
Rong Xinghe pinched the space between her brows and mumbled in a dull tone ,"Do you have any idea what can be the consequenses of your carelessness !? Those are our people , for hell's sake !"
The woman then glanced at Zhou Wu standing beside her ,"Come to my office , Mr. Shou. Let's discuss this first. I want all the three of them out , no matter what. And put all my other projects on hold and inform Rong Corporations that I won't be attending any business meeting for the coming few days."
"Alright , Military Chief.", Shou Wu nodded his head as he followed behind Rong Xinghe.
"Sorry for calling you so late , Ma'am. It was just that..."

"Had you kept me in the dark , I would would have definitely fired you. This concerns me the most , Mr. Shou. They are my people and someone's family. Being the highest Military authority of Country X , every soldier's life is my responsibility. Got it ?", Rong Xinghe said coldly.
"Yes , I understand."

Meanwhile , the entrance door to Elite Saphhire opened and Xi Wei entered the living room. The young man was completely unknown to the fact that Xi Yuan and Rong Xinghe knew about his and Rong Xiao's relationship. Hence , he was speaking to Rong Xiao over the phone , without any worries.
"Did you reach home ?", the man asked.
"Not yet. Stuck in the traffic.", the girl replied , tired.
"You left pretty early today. What was your emergency case ? And how is the patient now ?", Xi Wei questioned worriedly.
"The patient is finally out of danger. It was an Arrhythmia surgery. It had to be done urgently in order to stabilize the young boy's irregular heart rhythms involving both atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. But the patient will be under observation for next two weeks. Anyhow , the surgery was success.", Rong Xiao started explaining her experience to the man , not realizing that he was a businessman.
But Xi Wei also kept on listening to the girl's every word with complete concentration patiently. Only after when the girl was done speaking , did he smiled warmly and loosened his tie ,"Although I tried my best to understand what you were talking about , I couldn't follow up with you. Sorry. But I am really proud of you , Xiao. Congratulations ! You just saved a life today. That is really amazing."
As she listened to the man's silly words , Rong Xiao's lips curled up with helplessness ,"How am I even dating you ?! I never thought that I would ever make a businessman my boyfriend. And look , here I am , talking to you."

"What is wrong with dating a businessman ?", the man frowned.
"There is nothing wrong.", the girl shrugged nonchalantly ,"I just thought that I would bond well with a surgeon. After all , their lifestyle is so common. The first person can understand the other one pretty easily. Isn't that amazing ?"
"Is my bro Yuan a Military soldier ?", Xi Wei asked seriously.
"No ?", the girl answered , confused.
"Then how come the chemistry between him and your sister is so amazing ? In fact , they understand each other better than all those 'dream' couples out there ! What do you think of them then , Xiao ?"
"True.", Rong Xiao said after thinking for sometime ,"But there is a difference between brother-in-law and you. He is simply perfect. And so is my sister. They are made for each other."
"You..."
At this time , a dark figure appeared in front of Xi Wei and snatched his phone away from him. Xi Yuan then glared at the man before he brought the phone to his ears and spoke to the girl in a cordial and gentle tone ,"Don't talk while you drive , Xiao. Come to the Elite Saphire directly. No need to go to your sister's penthouse. I guess we need to talk about your and Wei's relationship first. Okay ?"
As soon as Rong Xiao heard Xi Yuan's voice , her phone almost slipped down her hands. What !? He already knew about them ? When the hell did it happen ?
"Does Xinghe know , brother-in-law ? And brothers...", the girl asked subconsciously as her grip over the steering wheel tightened.
"Xinghe knows but your brothers have no idea about it. You just come to my place , first. Okay ?", Xi Yuan smiled tiredly at the other end. It seemed like they really liked each other , else why would they behave so anxiously ?
"Okay.", the girl nodded her head like a rattle-drum. This was it. This was the end. The final moment of truth !
_____________________________________
"Bro... I...", Xi Wei started stammering as soon as Xi Yuan disconnected the call and passed the phone back to him.
But unlike Xi Wei , Xi Yuan maintained his composure. He simply sat down on the couch and rested his head against the back of it. The man then kept staring at Xi Wei as if he was interrogating a criminal , until Xi Wei decided to shut his mouth fearfully.
"How serious are you about her ?", Xi Yuan asked the man.
"I... really like her , brother. I like her as much as you like sister-in-law.", Xi Wei answered honestly.
On hearing Xi Wei's words , Xi Yuan furrowed his brows and raised his index finger in the air agitatedly ,"Firstly , I do not like Xinghe. I 'love' her. I plan to marry her and I plan to grow old with her. My relationship is not a fling. For the past one year , we fought together , we spent time together and we waited together. So do not compare north to south. Every relationship is different.
"Secondly , act a little sensible. Show some maturity. If you really like her , then prioritize her priorities. Her six brothers and Xinghe are her priorities. And do you really think that it is easy to impress those six sister-doting tigers ? Especially , with the reputation you have gained ? Playboy. Creep. Good-for-nothing. Immature. Ladykiller. And of course , Womanizer !"
Xi Wei : "WHAT ?!! ME ?"

Who Knows?
"Watch it.""Watch it," I mock him in a whisper, feeling brave. Suddenly, he gets up from his stool and stalks towards me. His large frame towering over my sitting form. I swallow the last bit of my pancakes slowly, my eyes wandering up his body until they stop at his face. He seems displeased. Very much so. His hand grabs the part where my head and neck connect and he slowly but firmly tilts my head back, his fingers tangling in my hair. His skin is rough on mine but still oddly comforting."What did you just say?" He asks, each of his words pronounced slowly and precisely. "I-I-I j-just.. I was j-just joking." I barely choke out. "You were just joking, huh?" "Mhm." I nod, my head subconsciously leaning into his touch my eyes closing on their own accord. His thumb caresses my cheekbone and I never want him to stop. I have never had a male being make me feel this good before. Don't get me wrong I did kiss a few people but it never felt as good as what he is doing right now. "Romy?""Yes," I breathe out, biting my lip. His thumb is quick in pulling it from between my teeth. "Nevermind." He rushes out, detaching his hand from my face.Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy my story.
