Great rapport

"Shut up, Xia Ming," Su Yanruo rebuked. Rolling her fierce eyes, she said, "I didn't feel any of those things."

"Really?" Xia Ming asked.

Su Yanruo nodded approvingly.

"You are lying," Xia Ming laughed knowingly. "You must've felt something," she said firmly.

"Why would I lie? I felt no tingling, no current, no sensations, no butterflies, no monkeys, no donkeys, nothing," she stated. "Instead, I was angry and irritated. I wanted to kill that man, but he fled away and he also took away my favorite rose dagger with him. Stupid Moron!" she cursed, instantly remembering that foolish grin on that man's face when he jumped away from that window.

"Ah…. that means he has your rose dagger, your favorite weapon, your dear baby. That makes a great first love token by the way," Xia Ming teased.

SMACK!

"Stop speaking like him. What love token? I did not give him anything. He stole it from me." she reasonably argued, smacking Xia Ming's arm.

Xia Ming chuckled gleefully rubbing her shapely arm. For the first time, in her life, she got a chance to tease Xiaoruo. How can she let it go?

"Am I speaking like him? That's great. It means that I have an excellent rapport with my future brother-in-law. Haha, Xiaoruo, marry this guy. I already like him," Xia Ming teased.

Su Yanruo arched her brows. "Will you stop it already? If you like him so much then go and marry him."

"Hah! How can I do that? If that guy falls for me then wouldn't I be snatching the only guy that ever dared to pursue you?" Xia Ming joked. "No, I just want him to be my dear future brother-in-law."

Su Yanruo glared fiercely at her.

"By the way, how does he look like? On a scale of ten, how would you rate him?" Xia Ming asked excitedly.

"0," she answered after giving it a thought.

"What? Zero? Then he is definitely a ten." Xia Ming laughed. "What about his kiss? How would you rate that?" she questioned next.

"What are we playing? Rate that man game? Stop thinking nonsense and go to sleep." she ordered. "Anyways, tomorrow is a very restless day for me. If you want to play games then you play alone. I am sleeping," she fake yawned. Swiftly getting under the covers, she pretended to sleep so that Xia Ming would stop asking about that nasty man.

Xia Ming pouted her lips.

Seeing that Su Yanruo was pretending to sleep, she poked her arm. "At least, rate his kiss before sleeping…" she urged.

"Go to sleep, Xia Ming." Su Yanruo said, turning around and giving her back to Xia Ming.

"Xiaoruo... c'mon, don't be shy. Tell me. I am your elder sister. I have the right to know about it," Xia Ming asked, continuously nudging her arm. Until and unless she got an answer from Su Yanruo, she wasn't going to let her sleep.

Su Yanruo let out a frustrated sigh. Turning back around, she glared at Xia Ming. "You wouldn't stop until I tell you, would you?"

Xia Ming bobbed her head cheekily.

" - 10. That's the answer. Now, go to sleep." she said, turning off the lights.

"Liar." Xia Ming pouted. "I am sure he must have been a good kisser. And you know what Xiaoruo, I feel like you are going to see him soon."

"Stop cursing me, Xia Ming. Go to sleep." Su Yanruo yawned. "And for your kind information, if I see him again. I will kill him."

"Let's see. Goodnight." Xia Ming said, getting into the covers, she closed her eyes.

"Good night, Xia Ming." Su Yanruo whispered tenderly before falling into another dreamless night.

***

At the other corner of the city.

Rong Mansion, backyard.

The cold breeze blew over Rong Yixuan's body as he typically laid over his favorite black jeep's hood, with his left arm under his head, using it as a pillow. Above was the rare beauty of brilliant stars, the luminous night graciously allowing the scanty heat of the day to leave unhindered. The only source of apparent brightness came from the full moon, and even her light was a chilled silver beam. It was cold yet there was a glowing fire burning fiercely in his heart.

Playing with the rose dagger in his hand, he chuckled remembering her lovely face, her words, her cute anger. Since, the moment that he saw her in that club, he was fascinated. He was instantly drawn towards her like a moth to a flame. Her every move, every expression, every smile captivated him. She was gorgeous, dangerous, mysterious. She was his perfect match.

Before this, he never thought about falling in love or getting married. All of these things were a hassle, a headache for him. He didn't like getting into a relationship, wooing a woman, or chasing somebody or any of those messy things. Yes, he flirted with them but that was his limit.

But seeing her, made him realize something. If the woman was her then he could do all of those things. His heart pounded inside his chest, faster than it has done ever before. When he took her in his arms, he felt a peace overcoming his entire body. He felt contented at that moment. When he kissed her, he felt a swarm of emotions altogether. Happiness, joy, nervousness, pleasurable excitement, lust, he felt all of them at once. It was his first time experiencing this, and he wanted more.

Even when she pressed that dagger into his chest, he knew that if she wanted to kill him, he would happily give his life to her. Rong Yixuan chuckled gleefully.

How could he, a guy who doesn't believe in love, fall in love with someone at first sight? He couldn't believe it yet when he placed his hand on his beating heart, he knew his heart was gone.

He was in love with her, and he wanted her.

"Yixuan, here you are. I was searching for you in the whole house," a voice said.
