Present

She was thirsty so she drank in one gulp.

He looked at her worringly and asked "Drink slowly. Can you hold it?"

"I don't want to get drunk right now so I won't get drunk. Don't worry no one can hold their liquor as good as me." she assured him with a slight smile.

He didn't understand what she said but still nodded.

"So where are you gonna stay?" he asked and came to topic before.

"Of course beside you" she answered

They heard a few coughs beside them. It was Joon. He had come to them when they came back from the dance.

Hearing her answer he choked on his drink.

"Are...are you guys flirting?" he asked with a weird expression on his face.

"What I meant is I'm gonna stay in house beside his" she replied while rolling her eyes .

"So you are going to stay in the same house you used to before?" Joon asked

"Yes"

After a while Ruo Bei suddenly asked seeing her touching her stomach.

"Hungry?"

"I'm hungry." she complained

"Let's go" he said

Then they went to the counters to check the menu.

When she looked at the food her eyes lit up and face glowed.

Looking at her expression Ruo Bei gaze softened.

She took everything she wanted and they went to the corner, sat there, and started eating.

"Slowly" he said looking at her gobbling the food.

"Hmm-mm" she replied with puffed cheeks.

Even he didn't know that with the gaze that he was looking at her was of doting.

The Lu parents were grinning from ear to ear.

They were soo happy that they wanted to hop around and dance.

It's been soo many years that they have seen their son like that.

Even though his face looked cold his expression was exact opposite.

Everyone was praising their outfits.

Father Lu was wearing a Black English styled suit. It was a single breast semi fitted suit. He was the military official at a high position. He had a domineering aura that of a noble. Everyone respected him.

Mother Lu was wearing a green coloured long trumpet gown with sheer panel and beads. Her maternal family too was in a military and thus she too had that aura of a queen.

Ruo Bei was wearing a navy blue shawl lapel fitted Italian style suit. With his cold face he looked like a knight in the falling sky.

Young Joon was wearing a red fitted suit. He was always cheerful. But when angered he would be like his brother, A Devil.

Each dress matched their personalities perfectly as if they were specifically designed for them. Well that's true they were specially designed for them. The person who designed them was none other than Natasha.

Every year on their birthdays she would design clothes for each of them. Only father Lu knew about it. When asked by others he used to just shrug it off and say that someone special gifted it.

He too wanted to tell them badly that it was made by their princess but she asked to keep it a secret.

But today when everyone praised their dresses and the designer was in front of them he just couldn't control himself from telling them that it was their princesses handiwork.

After every one gave their gifts Ruo Bei went and gave his gift.

He went to mother and gave her a green imperial jade. It was in bright green color and had a high degree of translucency. With one glance one could tell that millions of dollars would be less too. While looking at it everyone were shocked.

Then it was the younger man's turn.

He gave her A graded red color jade which was the size of a fist.

After that came the young miss of Min family.

She gave a beautiful Diamond earring set. It was from the "Array".

It was the world's number one jewelry brand. It was famous for their unique designs and different types of stones.

Everyone was gossiping as it was from Array and to get anything from Array one needed to spend millions and even needed to book in advance to get the special requirements.

After giving her gift she looked at Natasha with a provoking gaze and went off to her seat.

She was late for the party as she was abroad for her shoot.

When she came here she heard everything that happened from her friends.

She was soo angry that she wanted to pull Natasha's hair and throw her out.

She was jealous. She had liked Ruo Bei for so many years. She even tried to get close to him on many occasions but failed.

When she looked at the closeness and the way Ruo Bei looked and talked to Natasha she felt angry and jealous.

Everyone had given their gifts except Natasha. So every stated gossiping and talking about her.

'Everyone gave their gifts..why is he standing there just looking around.'

'I bet she doesn't have any gift..how rude'

'Who does she think she is...she didn't even give any gift to madam Lu.'

'Even though she looks a bit beautiful she doesn't have any manners she is just a slut.'

'I think that the dress she is wearing is also given to her by someone else.'

'She is just here to capture the young master's attention.'

After hearing the comments of others the whole Lu family was angered and glared at the people who spoke.

The temperature in the room dropped to the point that everyone shivered and wiped their cold sweat.

At first Natasha wanted to give her present in private after the party ended as to not get too much attention. But now it looks like she got the attention without doing anything.

Father Lu was so angry that he roared. "Who do you think you are to call out names to my little princess?....Which family are you from?...Didn't they taught you any manners?"
