The plan (2)

Lei Kai Xuan took out his phone and called his assistant. "Call the press and we're gonna have the meeting today at…." he checks his watch and it's already 11am. "At 2pm." "Okay Mr. Lei. Anything else?" He looks over at Xia Xi, "Bring over a formal dress to my house right now." Xia Xi looks at him and scans herself. She forgot that she was wearing his clothes still.

"I could've just gone home. No need to bother you again." "Sure, you can go home. But don't say I didn't warn you. The news has gone everywhere, so there might be reporters around your house area." Xia Xi gulped and looked back at him. She quickly sat back down, "Haha, I was just joking." She sat there quietly staring at the clock. Time ticks by and Lei Kai Xuan's assistant still hasn't come yet.

It's already 12:30pm and no one had showed up yet. Xia Xi has become more anxious and kept staring at the time. Suddenly, Lei Kai Xuan's phone rang. "Mr. Lei, there's a huge traffic in front of me right now. I don't think I can make it on time to bring you the dress." His assistant called him, and Lei Kai Xuan looked pretty stressed, but in a sec his face relaxed. "It's fine. I'll think of something. Just meet me at the meeting." He ends the phone and stares at Xia Xi.

"What are you looking at?" as she stares back at him coldly. "Ready to make a dress?" Xia Xi looks at him confusingly, "a dress?" Lei Kai Xuan looks at her confidently, "Let's go. We're running out of time." He stood up and walked upstairs. "Wait for me," as Xia Xi hurries up from behind.

They came inside a room and it's not what Xia Xi expected from Lei Kai Xuan. "You know how to make clothes?" as she looks at the sewing machines and other fabrics in the room. "There's a lot of things that you don't know," as Lei Kai Xuan stares at her. "Don't just stand there. We have to make something now, or else you're gonna wear that to the press." Xia Xi walks over to him, "So, do you have a layout of how it'll look like?" Lei Kai Xuan pulled out a piece of paper and it was designed by both him and her. "We did this? How come I didn't know?"

"You don't need to know, let's just get to work." He walks over to her with a measuring tape.

"What are you doing?"

"This dress is for you right? How would I make the dress if I don't know the measuring?"

"He's right," as Xia Xi thought to herself and looked at him. "I won't do anything to you. It's not like you have anything special." Xia Xi looks at him angrily, "Just hurry up and do this!" as she coldly stares at him.

It took less than 3 minutes for him to get all the measurements down. "Help me cut these," as he handed the scissors over to her." Xia Xi took it and followed the measurements and cut it. Lei Kai Xuan's skills have amazed Xia Xi. It didn't take an hour and the dress is finished.

"Wow, it's so nice," as Xia Xi exclaimed. The dress is white with ruffles, laces and a v-neck. He hands over the dress to her, "Change into this. We don't have much time left." Xia Xi nodded, and headed over to the bathroom and changed. The dress fits Xia XI perfectly. Not only the length, but the dress seems like it was meant for her. She walks out and presents herself in front of him. "How is it?" Lei Kai Xuan scans her from top to bottom. "Something is missing," he walked out the room and bought something back. "Wear this," as he hands over the box to her. "What is it?" She opened the box and inside was a pair of heels. She takes it out of the box and looks at it. "Why do you have a pair of heels at your house?" Lei Kai Xuan didn't answer her, and just gave her an eye stare. Xia Xi sat down and wore the shoes. It fits perfectly and she was stunned that it did.

"So, where did you get this?" as she smirks at him. "Was it one of your girlfriends'?" Lei Kai Xuan looks at her annoyed. He then starts walking out the door. "Where are you going?" as she screamed. "We're gonna be late to the press conference if you keep standing there," as he answered back.

Xia Xi ran after him, "Don't walk too fast. I can't run in these heels." She got in the car as she tried to catch her breath. "Later, just do as I say. Don't answer to any press members. I'll give you a signal, when I want you to talk." Xia Xi didn't know why she agreed to this and nodded.

After 30 minutes later, they got outside the press conference place. Outside it was filled with press members and Xia Xi started to get anxious out of nowhere. Lei Kai Xuan got out of the car and walked over to Xia Xi, and opened the door for her. He places his hand in front of her and Xia Xi looks at it. He gestures his hand in front of her and she takes it. She walks out and everyone starts taking pictures of them. "Mr Lei, what is your relationship with Ms. Xia?" as a person puts a speaker in front of them. Lei Kai Xuan didn't answer them and walked by them. His assistant came out and guided the press into the conference room. They still have ten minutes left before the conference and Xia Xi suddenly becomes so nervous again. "Relax, there's no need to be nervous. It's just an ordinary press conference." He sits down calmly in the waiting room. "Ordinary? It's my first time doing this," as she argues back.

A knock came in the door and his assistant came in. "Mr. Lei, it's time." "Okay." He got up from his chair and placed his cup of coffee on the table. He turned around and looked at Xia Xi, who's hand was shaking. "Let's go," as he holds out his hand once again. She took it once again and walked out together.

Cameras are everywhere, lights are flashing and the whole room is filled with people. Xia Xi never saw that many people before, not what she remembered. She took a seat next to Lei Kai Xuan and tried to act strong in front of everyone. "I called today's meeting because I know that you guys might have some questions related to today's news. So, I opened this conference and will answer all your questions." Lei Kai Xuan said it without any hesitation.

A person raised his hand and he smiled at her. "Go ahead."

"So is it true that you and De Lin's vice president, Miss Xia had an argument yesterday night? And what was it about?"

Lei Kai Xuan smiled back and answered it without any doubts. "Yes, we did have a slight argument yesterday night, but it wasn't anything serious. And if you asked what it is about, then I couldn't tell you. It's something I don't think she wants me to say." He answered back in a joking way.

"What is your relationship with Miss Xia?" as another person spoke up. Lei Kai Xuan looks at Xia Xi and back at the crowd smiling.

"I guess we can't hide this from anyone else anymore. She's my fiancée." He held her hand in front of everyone and smiled.

Xia Xi sat there shocked by his words and action. "What do you mean? Fiancée?" She whispers so only he could hear it. Lei Kai Xuan kept smiling at them as he already awed the whole entire crowd.

He looks back at Xia Xi who was already so confused and mad. "So, was yesterday's argument something related to your guys' relationship?" the same person asked them. Lei Kai Xuan smirks and looks at him. "Smart, I guess we can't hide it anymore. Yesterday, she got mad that I didn't go with her to the doctor. I know you guys might ask why she's going to the doctor. Well well,I guess we can't keep this a secret anymore." He looks at Xia Xi and Xia Xi looks at him confusingly. "What is he going to say next?" she wonders while looking at him.

"We're pregnant!" The whole crowd was quiet for a sec and everyone started whispering. "I heard that you guys are working on a project together. Is this planned out because you guys are a couple or is it for work only?" Lei Kai Xuan looks at the press, "Well, you could think this however you want. But I just want to say, nothing will be affected. This year's season will be as good as you think."

"But for the meantime, I want you guys to give us some space." He said it so poliety that Xia Xi wonders if that's the Lei Kai Xuan she knows. The press came up and took a picture of them and congratulated them.

They went back to the waiting room and Xia Xi looked at him angrily. "What was that back there? Why did you say I was your fiancee and I'm pregnant??" She looks at him as she wants an answer. "If I don't say that, do you think they'll believe whatever else we say?" Xia Xi's anger rises and raises her hand, but he quickly holds her hand. "Relax, a pregnant woman shouldn't be this angry." He said it playfully.
