It was a friday and the day for Tang Xi's date with Qin Yan . She was already at the company to finish up with her design as the one week ultimatum given to her by Tang Jing would elaspe today and there would be a meeting after the weekend for her to submit her design draft.
The day went on relatively well till it was time for Tang Xi to knock off from work. She had already accepted Qin Yan's dinner proposal so she had to go home earlier and prepare.
Weiwei had called her earlier and reminded her to go home early so she could get ready on time, she was such a sweet headache.
Tang Xi wore a short black dinner gown, the gown accentuated her curves perfectly, she paired it with a red clutch bag and red heels with just the right amount of accessories. She decided to put on little makeup after all. The outcome of her efforts was fantastic, looking ar herself in the mirror, she looked like a goddess, she was very satisfied with herself.
Tang Xi was still admiring herself when her phone rang, Qin Yan was probably here and true enough, it was him on the phone.
Hi, he said, you ready?
Yea, I will be down shortly.
Tang Xi wore her perfume and was finally good to go.
Tang Jing was driving in when she saw luxurious cars parked outside the Tang house gate, this cars were probably here for Tang Xi, who was she seeing? She wondered as she drove into the house.
Stepping into the house, she met her parents sitted in the living room. Good evening mom, dad, she greeted.
Xiao Jing, my child, how are you?
I'm fine mom.
You must be so tired from working too hard at the company, you look so stressed out, madam Tang said affectionately.
It's no trouble mom, I enjoy working hard.
Yes my child, young people should work hard for their future, I never have to worry about you but that sister of yours….. he signed.
Don't worry dad, sister will come around one day.
Their conversation was interrupted by the echoes of Tang Xi's heels as she descended the stairs like a diva. They were all mesmerized by her appearance.
Tang Xi smiled inwardly, she liked that her appearance had such effect on them, if there was one thing the mother and daughter pair hated that was definitely her face and she loved to show it off to them.
Tang Jing widened her eyes in jealousy. Where was she going dressed like that? She thought to herself.
Where are you going dressed like that? Their father voiced out her thoughts.
I'm having dinner with my friend.What's that? I can't go?
You...
You could have dressed more appropriately, why do you have to be so ostentatious? Madam Tang added.
What's inappropriate about my dress, Tang Xi asked and was met with their silence.
Dad, mom allow sister to go already, the nice cars outside has been waiting for a while now, Tang Jing said.
What nice cars, Tang Xi! Are you still seeing the old man? How could you become a mistress to someone. You will not leave this house today, Tang Fenghu declared.
Tang Jing smiled inwardly, that's what she wanted, she would see how she would leave the house now.
Madam Tang was also exhilarated by her husband declaration.
Tang Xi was yet again helpless by their ganged up attacks, she really needed to get out of this house.
Outside the Tang house, Young master Qin who has never waited for anyone in his life was patiently waiting for Tang Xi. His phone rang and it was a call from Tang Xi.
Hello,she said.
Uhmmm, am still waiting out here.
I don't think I can make it anymore.
Why? Are you trying to stand me up, miss Tang?
I'm really sorry, I will make it up to you next time.
What's wrong?
Nothing i just can't make it this time.
Wait there, i will come get you.
No, no please I don't want you coming in here.
Just wait, QinYan ended the call. He knew about her position at the Tang house and suspected that maybe something was wrong in there as her voice wasn't so vibrant as before.
Ruan Ye.
Yes young master.
Go get miss Tang here.
Yes young master, Ruan Ye said as he marched into the Tang house accompanied by two bodyguards.
The Tang house was guarded by two bodyguards but they were no match for the Qin family guards who had undergone series of professional training.
The bodyguards were subdued in no time and they went in. Tang Fenghu and his wife were still discussing when Ruan Ye came in with the two bodyguards.
Who are you and what are you doing here?
We are here for miss Tang Xi, our young master is waiting for her, Ruan Ye said.
What young master? She told that old man to come into my house.
How could you trespass into our house,do you know whowe are? Madam Tang added.
Seems like there has been a misunderstanding here. His young master was the most elegible bachelor in M city, how did he turn into an old man.
Tang Xi heard the commotion and came downstairs as well as Tang Jing.
Miss Tang, the young master is waiting for you, Ruan Ye said bowing slightly.
Tang Xi didn't expect Qin Yan to cause such a commotion but she was happy to leave the house, she followed Ruan Ye as they guarded her out of the house.
Tang Xi, if you leave this house I will really disown you, her father threatened.
Tang Xi didn't even halt, he can go to hell with his threat, she was tired of them already and has already resolved to move out of the house.
They led Tang Xi to the rows of cars, Ruan Ye opened the car door and Tang Xi entered the car.
Tang Xi saw Qin Yan resting his head on the car seat with his eyes closed.His chiseled features were accentuated by the soft light, with sharp jawline, defined brows, and full lips slightly parted, exuding a sense of relaxed elegance.
Tang Xi felt bad for keeping him waiting, he must have waited for a long time, it's been over an hour he informed her that he was here. He opened his eyes as soon as she entered.
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, something happened and I thought I wouldn't be able to make it again.
That's okay, I figured out that something was wrong ,what happened ?
It nothing serious, let's go, we are already late.
Uhmm, drive, Qin Yan instruted and the cars drove off.
