When the event manager was informed of their arrival he rushed out to greet them, he led them inside through the VIP entrance avoiding the crowd. Though Liao Qing wanted to meet a few model friends of him, Gu Lin nearly dragged him to Qitong's room.
Su Fei informed the manager that they were here for his sister so after asking for her room they all walked to her room, manager immediately told someone to escort them and take care of them. Also, he reserved the four best seats for them to watch the show.
Qitong was busy with the background display while the models will walk. She rearranged some views again and again but she couldn't a perfect match for a certain dress. It was the same dress that Sia liked. Sia laughed at the confusing Qitong before getting up to get a cup of chamomile tea for her. Sia noticed those dark eye bags below Qitong's eye long ago. She knew this girl didn't sleep last night.
Qitong was still searching for a perfect picture when Sia returned with a cup of coffee for her. Qitong immediately grabbed her and made her seat beside her. Sia saw the dress for which she was searching for background and suddenly snatched the laptop from her, and gave it back after two minutes with a photo on a display before getting back and walking towards her own place. It was a picture of a snowy region with deep blackish red flowers falling from sky.
"Damnnn…..Why didn't I think of it!!! Ahhh! This is perfect." Qitong yelled before following and hugging Sia from back by her shoulders. She kissed Sia on her cheeks when suddenly the doors of the room opened. Sia was laughing at Qitong's antics before she saw the faces who entered the room. Her face turned blank.
Qitong smiled at the sight of her brother, she immediately approached and hugged him. He was followed by Mo Xiao then Gu Lin and Liao Qing bickering.
Mo Xiao's face turned black as soon as he saw Qitong kissing Sia on cheeks and Sia laughing just when he entered. If he knew he would be greeted by this sight he would have chosen not to come or at least later. While, for Su Fei it was normal. He usually saw Qitong doing these things with Sia, it wasn't like she preferred females, but just that she was elder than Sia and treated her small sister. Qitong commonly hugged and kissed Sia on cheeks in front of him and his family. Sia just used to smile allowing her to do what she wanted. But this was the first time Sia felt weird about what happened right now. She didn't imagine herself to be caught by him like this. It was as if she was caught cheating.
When Gu Lin and Liao Qing entered their view was actually blocked by the other two so they did not notice the incident right now, but right when Gu Lin entered he sensed a chilling wind stirring. He glanced at Mo Xiao who was staring at Sia, whereas that girl was about to run away from them when Qitong called her. As Qitong knew her relation with Mo Xiao also she was familiar to Su Fei she thought of introducing her to the other two. Also, she was yet to tell Su Fei about that thing, as due to some problems in their home Su Fei was living independently at his own place after a fight with his father.
Sia turned her gaze away from Mo Xiao after noticing him getting slightly angry and upset, she turned and was about to walk away when Qitong called her again. Sia reluctantly turned back and faced them with a smile.
'God dammit, this guy! Why the hell is he staring at me like that? Qitong is a girl also she is straight. Arghh… it's so embarrassing. Wait why is everyone staring at me?' she thought to herself when she saw that only Qitong and Su Fei were talking the rest three were looking at her.
She composed herself before walking towards the group. Qitong was about to say something but Sia nudged her and whispered something in her ear, before Qitong became silent.
They all took their seats when Sia took Qitong with her somewhere away from them. Mo Xiao was actually in a good mood when he reached but now he suddenly became his old cold self.
"Sia, why did you stop me from telling them?" Qitong was confused when Sia suddenly told her to hide her relation with Mo Xiao.
"I don't know if he wants to let them know. I'll ask him before you let the city know. Okay?" Sia said rolling her eyes at Qitong.
Qitong chuckled because it was exactly what was going through her mind. She wanted everyone to know that the most eligible bachelor in this city is committed…. to none other than her best friend…. Hehe.
They both came back to the boys. Mo Xiao looked up to find Sia smiling at him, all the black cloud shrouding him instantly vanished. Her genuine smile made his face bloom again. They walked towards them when Sia suddenly spoke up, "I guess we should get going. The show is about to start."
The boys got up altogether.
"Miss. Chen why don't you join us instead of sitting alone?" Liao Qing said. She could sense flirtatious vibes from him. She was about to reject them using Susie as an excuse, when Qitong said, "Yeah, I and Susie needs to be on backstage why don't you sit with them?" sticking out her tongue.
Sia was really speechless, 'Big sister, why do you have to put me in such a bad situation.' Sia thought to herself. Her expressions were so obvious to Mo Xiao that he couldn't help but smile. He was inwardly laughing at how Qitong was teasing Sia when the tables turned.
Qitong excitedly continued, "Besides Big brother you are well acquainted with Brother Mo, you won't be lonely." Sia nearly choked on her own saliva, face palming herself in her mind, she could only blame herself for such a bad luck.
Listening to Qitong's net words Mo Xiao's smile changed back to cold face, also everyone turned to look at him. Their shocking expressions were obvious. Sia glared at Qitong when she saw everyone turned their heads at Mo Xiao. She really wished she could strangle Qitong to death.
"Qitong, our collaboration is with Tan Securities not with Yuzhou Enterprises. It's with their subsidiary." Sia said maintaining her smile. She didn't acknowledge her relation with Mo Xiao nor denied. Everyone sighed that they were just overthinking, but Mo Xiao's words caught them off guard.
"Come with us." Mo Xiao aid with a smile.
Liao Qing nearly stumbled and Gu Lin immediately held him in place. Mo Xiao not only asked her to come with them he also smiled. "Gu Lin, is the world going to end??" he asked in horror. Gu Lin simply smiled and stayed silent staring at the calm Sia and thinking to himself, 'He's finally showing his claws. But why is she so normal?'
Su Fei was only glancing between Qitong, Sia and Mo Xiao. He could actually tell there was definitely something he didn't know but he wasn't impatient.
Sia simply nodded and turned to Qitong, "Fine, I'll be with them come find me after your done." She embraced Qitong and whispered, "We'll talk about this later you devil! But right now don't be nervous and relax. Everything will be fine. Good luck."
Qitong also embraced her tightly as if absorbing all the positivity from her. She smiled when she heard what Sia said.
They all walked out of the room, towards the seating arrangements.
Mo Xiao decided to wait for her to catch up with her, but when he saw Sia exiting the room, Gu Lin was already approaching her. He sighed and walked ahead, waiting for Sia when Gu Lin was there was an extremely bad idea.
"Hello, Ms. Chen, myself ….." before Gu Lin could introduce himself Sia interrupted him, "Hello, Mr.Gu. I think we are already late so I guess we should take our seats." She smiled politely before walking ahead. Gu Lin was not offended instead he was intrigued. Sia did not actually wanted to be rude when she already knew he was Mo Xiao's bestfriend, but he was intimidating her by his gaze she was uncomfortable but she wasn't scared of him.
Sia sighed on her way to her seat. She really wanted to tell his friends about their relation because other than Su Fei the other two were a headache for her, one wanted to scare her away and the other wanted to approach her. She was actually irritated by both of them. She rubbed her forehead in frustration, when she suddenly bumped in Huo Yue.
