Chapter 159: I'll Dream Of You Tonight
Raven-like luster hair, sharp eyes with a gaze that could stir anyone who gazed it, and a soft smile that he used only for Xiao Yun. Even though the hallway's lamp wasn't bright as it was orange in color, his face grew alight, glowing with his gentle gaze.
Taking a step behind, Xiao Yun who was still rubbing her temple looked up to find Wang Li Lei standing like a firm wall. When he saw Xiao Yun bumped at him and was about to fall, he outstretched his hand, wrapping it to her arm and wrist to protect her.
Fixing his eyes on Xiao Yun who was gazing at his expression in disbelief, he spoke to confirm the reality. "You need to be careful you always fall and bump to something."
"W- Why are you here?" it was the only question that could escape from her mouth.
"I have a business to attend here." he replied and saw Xiao Yun raising her brow.
"In this Hotel?" she asked unsurely, not knowing that her friends were in awestruck as she continued to talk with Wang Li Lei.
"This Hotel is under Wang Corporation," he explained. "But what I meant in business wasn't the Hotel, but Hangzhou."
"O- oh-" Xiao Yun nodded but her head was still trying to pull some thread that could perhaps remind her when did Wang Li Lei say that.
"Xiao Yun? Do you know him?" Ming Ran asked from behind, a little pressured by Wang Li Lei's cold and tall figure and the people behind him.
Nie An had known Xiao Yun's relationship with Wang Li Lei and tugged the sleeve to Ming Ran's jacket. "He's Xiao Yun's acquaintance." Nie An hoped that Ming Ran wouldn't ask anything too deep as to her and many other people, Wang Li Lei is someone that's frightening.
Ming Ran doubted and glanced for confirmation to Xiao Yun. "Yes, He's someone that I know." Xiao Yun cut through, looking back to see Wang Li Lei faintly rose his eyebrow. She replied back by raising an eyebrow. She didn't know Ming Ran that well and she couldn't put her trust in her that easily. Nevertheless, Wang Li Lei had a look of a little disappointed making her ask herself, should she introduce him as her fiancee?
Ming Ran rubbed her chin and slanted her head to examine the man. Judging by his look, he's someone that could fit to become a model or an actor, but she had never seen his face before and with the people behind him, she could only conclude that the man wasn't any normal person. She also guessed that he must be the guest that made the whole Hotel in panic.
Thinking about it, Ming Ran rubbed her chin and seemed to have seen Wang Li Lei's face before in her father's business party.
"I'm her boyfriend." He corrected. Making the Ming Ran's face that had relaxed a little turn stiff.
Xiao Yun looked at him wide-eyed and was returned back with a dead-panned face. She took his hand walk a few steps away and turned back to her friend, "I will be talking with him for a moment. Could you do me a favor to bring my trunk and tell the teacher?"
Ming Ran looked at Nie An in a great puzzle and felt her pushing to the room. "Let's go first."
Each floor of the Hotel where they stayed at had their own lounge. Leading Wang Li Lei who hasn't yet said anything, they stopped there with Jang Hyun ushering the other bodyguard to make a distance for the two.
"How did you come here?" Xiao Yun asked, taking a seat beside him to the place where he patted on.
"By car." he stated making Xiao Yun a little speechless by his lack of explanation. "I was supposed to be in the City next to this one, but an urgent meeting had to be held here." he looked at her face smiling faintly, "You don't seem to like me here?"
Xiao Yun wrinkled her lips, doesn't like to see him here? She's more than happy to find him here! She had been having the urge to pounce on him now!
"Of course- I 'm glad to see you here." a few seconds as the word came out, her cheeks flushed.
"The feeling is the same." He took her hand playing with her fingers to his liking.
"I didn't expect that you would be here." she glanced at his expression, reading it even though she knew that she wasn't able to read through it. Wang Li Lei is a very jealous person, and Xiao Yun knew that he had such a tendency. But was it really a coincidence that they stayed at the same hotel?
Nie An received a gossip that someone sponsored for the school trip. Someone that's very rich to booked luxurious hotel rooms and guide tour to Hangzhou. Drawing the conclusion that perhaps the person in question Wang Li Lei, Xiao Yun had her curiosity wonder about her eyes.
Wang Li Lei was sharp enough to notice her hawking eyes and guessed her thinking at the moment. "Are you thinking that I'm doing this in purpose?"
Seeing Wang Li Lei's face, she began to doubt herself. "Maybe?"
He chuckled, breaking his sight from the eyes to her. "Unfortunately, it isn't on purpose. It was really a coincidence."
Xiao Yun rethought her conclusion. Wang Li Lei did sound that he didn't do it and he wasn't the type of person to act. That night, he was truly clingy from the bottom of his heart.
"That's weird?" Xiao Yun muttered enough for Wang Li Lei to hear.
"What's weird?"
"There's someone who sponsored the school trip alone. In exchange for having a school trip, he would sponsor the whole trip including, hotel booking, guide tour and the expense for traveling here." she paused, the more she said it aloud, the gnawing feeling on her heart came again. "Li Lei, are there a lot of people who could book your hotel?"
Wang Li Lei shook his head, his eyes turned stern from her words that had a mix of worried in it. "There are only three other people who could do this, but they wouldn't do it."
"Three people?" she glanced at him, questioning how he can be sure of the fact. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. What's wrong? Do you want to find out the person who sponsored the school trip? I can help you."
Xiao Yun shook her head. "Mn, no. It's fine." Was she perhaps thinking too deeply on the matter? But her heart kept on feeling bad hunches.
As they were talking, Xiao Yun heard the student's laughter near the lounge, bringing her awareness that she had left the room for quite a long time. She stood up from her seat, looking at the red clock on the wall and excused herself. "I'll go back now."
"Take care." Wang Li Lei replied looking at Xiao Yun who had started to run from the spot but stopped suddenly. Turning her back, she ran toward him again, bringing her lips to his forehead. "Good night."
He chuckled returning the kiss on her forehead. "Sleep well."
"Sure, I'll dream of you tonight." Xiao Yun commented light-heartedly, but Wang Li Lei took it deep to his heart.
Xiao Yun had come back to her room that was on the same floor. While watching her shadow, Wang Li Lei sent a glance at Jang Hyun to give him an order.
"What can I help, master?"
"Search for the identity of the sponsor to Xiao Yun's school trip." he said, having Jang Hyun in a little bewilderment.
"I understand." Jang Hyun pulled out his phone from the chest pocket and organize his team to find out the identity.
Wang Li Lei stood up from his seat, walking to his room which was on a different floor in silence. Xiao Yun's question had something that hooked his attention. Other than his three business friends and mentor that could book the whole hotel, there was no one in China that could do the deed. But more than that, something in his hunch was telling him that there was something involving deeper in Xiao Yun's school trip.
He believed his hunch more than anything, as it was the weapon that had saved him many times.
Morning came early for the sleepy heads, bird singing next to the window that connected to the balcony, Xiao Yun who had to carry out a good habit of waking early was the first one to rise up from her bed.
Stretching her sore body in a quiet movement that wouldn't wake up her roommate and friend, her face shone a few hues brighter than ever. She didn't know whether it was the side effect of having to see Wang Li Lei in her dreamland last night or perhaps because she had been sleeping beside him often, but her body felt fresher than the dew that came arrive with the morning.
Jumping down from her bed, Xiao Yun walk through her friends who were sleeping in different positions beside her. The hotel room where she stayed at was beyond amazing and luxurious. It almost reminded her of the room which usually appeared in a movie.
