1.22 A Pair Made by Fate

Wei Guiyin's project, after the short interruption, began to go faster than the speed of a bullet. Before any other person could come up with some other lame scheme, the contract was approved and signed by both parties.

In commemoration of the big success that this contract brought to the growth of Yin company and the big benefits that the other company obtained, Yin company with the "help" (or more like it was decided one side by Long Chaoda) of Long corporation made a big gala with only the creme of the crop of the business world.

***

"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, I will be your host Gai Zhuren*, and I hope that you are passing an incredible night today"

The gala was hosted on one of Long corporation most famous hotels. Long Chaoda was basically in charge of doing all the preparations needed to create a party as big as the one made, and the reason was obvious. Wei Guiyin did not want to have any kind of celebration at all. She just wanted to close the deal and go to the next one since she wanted to reach Long Chaoda level before they could make public their relationship. Yep, as you heard. Wei Guiyin was planning on making public her relationship with Long Chaoda. She was getting serious here since in her original world she never had a relationship and now she is fighting to get to the stage that she never could.

"As you all know, we are here to commemorate de closing of a big deal between Yin corporation and Wuliao corporation. This party could not be possible if this two big companies did not decide to form this collaboration. Without any more pauses, I ask for you to stand up and welcome the ones that we are celebrating. With a big round of applause please receive Mr. Wuliao Nanren and his wife Chanpin Nuren!"

As the host of the gala announced with more than the needed excitement a well-conserved middle-aged man and a beautifully aged woman descended from the stairs to the first floor.

"And last but not least the rose of the business world, the Queen of the market, the empress of the stock market, Wei Guiyin"

By the long and over flowered introduction, one could notice that Long Chaoda really pampered her. There was no one that was present that did not guess that they were in a relationship since the hotel was Long Chaoda's most famous and one of his main source of income, sure after his company, but he would not empty it completely for a whole day just for any woman.

When Wei Guiyin heard her introduction, she could not help but cringe. She turned and look at the man that was beside her only to find the said man looking at a flower arrangement like it was the most interesting thing in the world. Wei Guiyin could only sight and began to go down the stairs.

When she did, everyone was looking at her and the man that was holding her arm. The two of them together looked like a pair made by fate itself. A beautiful, refined, and powerful woman paired with a handsome, aloof, and equally powerful than her. The pair did not seem to go down simple stairs. It looked more like the Jade Emperor and the Jade Empress were descending from the high heavens to met some simple mortals. There was no envy from any sex only admiration and respect to both parties.

That is until something is detected by a small kitten system that was following after its host.

[HOST BE CAREFUL THERE IS A BULLE------------]

Before Wei Guiyin could detect what was had happened it was already too late. There was an agaping whole in her chest, and blood did not stop flowing out of it. Long Chaoda called her name in panic and trying to make her to stay awake while pressed the wound to stop the bleeding unsuccessfully. Wei Guiyin knew that she would not survive and tried to tell him something, but the only thing that came out of her mouth was mounthfuls of blood.

She knew that she could not even say good bye, so she only smiled at him one last time. The smile that he loved to see, now he hates it with all his beeing. That smile that was once full of happiness and mischieve is now full of resignation and sadness.

At that time he made a vow that at one time would change the meaning of everything.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"...System what happened?"

Wei Guiyin asked the a certain ball of fluff that rolled itself into a ball.

[Moon was unable to help Host]

And after a momment of silence it spoke again.

[Since Moon was too weak it was unable to save Host. She was smiling so happily. Moon wanted to keep Host smiling like that, but Moon was unable to detect the bullet before it was too late]

"What do you mean?"

[Host is Moon first host, so Moon does not have the power to help with everything that Host might need. Like on this time. It is true that Moon has a detection system, but that is only with a radius of 500m form the host. What I got form the investigation the bullet came from a snipper that was 1500m away from you. Moon was unable to help Host. Now Host is sad since Host lost the only person that Host thought could help Host understand what it means love]

Moon was rolled up in a ball. Even though Moon is a relativelly new system and does not comprenhends complex human emotions it is capable of feeling that it had let down its host.

"It is not your fault what happened. It was my fault actually. I was too soft"

Wei Guiyin knew who was the one that was behind her assassination. Her "mother".

She left her alone since she thought that the one that was behind everything was her father and her mother only followed, but it seems that she was even greedier than him, but what she didn't think was that she had already this covered.

Since the moment that she knew that her family were after the company, she did what she thought was the best. She talked with her private lawyer and arranged that if something were to happen to her, all what she owned will be given to Long Chaoda since it was better it be with someone that will actually take care of it and not just waste it.
