He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 197: I Should Say I Was Lucky

"Chang Lu, do you also want to play the archery once with me? I'll hold back." She spoke gently but Lin Chang Lu could only take her last three words as a mockery. 

"N- No, I'm not very good at playing archery." Lin Chang Lu rejected, after watching Xie Ru who was far better than her in terms of archery, she could never win from the girl.

"Oh-" Xiao Yun sang her disappointment lowly. "Well then, let's play again!" Xiao Yun spoke brightly, gathering everyone's eyes to her. "What should we do? Perhaps chess?" 

"Oh! That sounds good, let me be your opponent, Ms. Yu." Someone spoke from behind the groups. 

"That's not fair, play with me, Ms. Yu." Another voice came out from the groups and eventually, everyone crowded to her. After Xiao Yun's amazing performance and talent, people became amazed by her and can't wait to see more from the girl. 

Xiao Yun placed a troubled face and glanced at Lin Chang Lu, asking gently, "Chang Lu, do you have another room to play chess?" 

"Y- Yes..." Lin Chang Lu stuttered, even though deep inside she was shaken to the core by Xiao Yun's action, she couldn't show her feelings to her face and continue to please the guests. "Maid Su, please show them the way."

"Yes milady, please follow my lead." The maid spoke and disappeared to lead the guests. 

Wang Li Lei leaned on the wall, watching the scene with a faint smile on his face. Lin Chang Lu looked down at his woman too much, not knowing that the one who would soon be swallowed was her. Well that was what she deserved after looking down in his woman. 

That evening, Xiao Yun flipped the whole situation. The guests were truly amused by her talent and didn't hold back to become her friends. From the spot where Lin Chang Lu stood at, she could feel her fingers trembling like a leaf. The spot in the middle of people was supposed to be hers, but now Xiao Yun filled the vacant seat in ease. "How could it be? Isn't she a normal country bumpkin? I've never heard of her name before." She murmured on her own. 

She knew Yu Corporation after searching for her background but compare to the people in the room and herself, Yu Corporation was nothing but a small hill. And yet, Xiao Yun was able to do many things, her intelligence and her straightforwardness attract everyone.

The place she worked har for was easily stolen by Xiao Yun. She couldn't begin to fathom whether the scene happening in front of her eyes was true or not. 

While she was contemplating her thoughts, the phone in her skirt pocket rang. "Excuse me first." Lin Chang Lu spoke and went out of the room to take the phone call. 

"What is it, Mr. Zhu?" Coincidently, the caller to her phone was Zhu Yi Nian. 

"It's about the designs, Ms. Lin." Zhu Yi Nian gave a troubled tone. 

Lin Chang Lu was in a sour mood that evening and her tone sharply sounded like a dagger. "What about the design? Did someone caught you when you steal the design?" 

"N- No!" Zhu Yi Nian quickly denied, afraid that she would end the call and cut his words off. "I haven't been caught yet and no one knows." 

"Then what is it?" she hurried. 

"Chuan Huan Jing hides all the designs that he created, I search everywhere but there's not even one designs left." That noon a day after Xiao Yun passed her order to Chuan Huan Jing, Zhu Yi Nian sneaked into his room and ruffled his office to found his designs missing. 

"Oh, so it is only about that." Lin Chang Lu crossed her arms, speaking as if it was nothing big for him to fuzz on. 

Zhu Yi Nian couldn't understand his words and foolishly ask. "What should I do know, Ms. Lin?" 

"What else?" Lin Chang Lu scoffed. "Steal the dress before they put it out to the store. We can do with the few designs that you brought already. He hides the designs, meaning he is being more vigilant to protect his designs. For now, wait until the Spring Festival to come. In that time steal the best ones, as long as they don't have evidence of us stealing, no one can accuse us." Hearing Lin Chang Lu's confident words, Zhu Yi Nian blew his breath out in relief and ended the call.

When the party ended in the early night, Xiao Yun and Wang Li Lei left the summer house to their house. Xiao Yun stared at the black sky having no single stars, making the crescent moon to look a little lonely without a friend.

"I didn't know that you could do archery." Wang Li Lei spoke from the side, bringing her from her thought of the moon. He clearly thought that he had searched everything about the girl to the point the Goldie, Andy called him a stalker. But there were still many things that he could never learn if he wasn't by the girl's side. 

Xiao Yun giggled and made a peace sign, "Aren't I'm good at it?" 

"You are, I was really surprised. I never knew that archery could look that beautiful." He agreed fastly, making Xiao Yun to blush.

"I learned it for fun once and had a little talent in archery." She murmured. "It wasn't that amazing." she grinned happily from Wang Li Lei's praise. At first, she didn't like studying archery and felt there wasn't any use in studying one, but today she was thankful for her parents and brother for teaching her. 

"But boss, you were really remarkable at that time in the hall! I didn't know that you could pull such a trick on that snotty brat." Tian Yi who was sitting beside Jang Hyun chided, making Jang Hyun to warn him with his eyes for intruding their masters time but continued nevertheless. 

"I should say I was lucky." Xiao Yun replied and scanned Tian Yi's questioning look. "What do you mean?" 

"There was a horse track and horse shed in the summer house, right? The horses are in great care and they were idle there. I was lucky they asked me to play archery because I can't ride a horse at all. If Xie Ru asked me to horseback race, I would have lost and instead embarrass myself in front of the rest of the guests. That's why I said I'm lucky." Xiao Yun filled the blanks. 

Tian Yi gave an understanding of long hum and continued, "That's why you asked them to play chess first? So they wouldn't give you another trap?" 

Xiao Yun gave an impressed look at Tian Yi's perceiving conclusion and nodded. "Yes, you're right." 

"You don't have to do that. You should've told me if you can't." Wang Li Lei brushed her hair as he spoke. Xiao Yun had noticed it faintly but every day his skinship has become bolder. Was it only her hallucination? Wang Li Lei was smooth with his hand that she often didn't notice his hand had landed somewhere on her waist, hand, or shoulder. It wasn't an unpleasant touch but rather a sweet one that stirred something in her and make her feel a little troubled such as now. 

"I promised that I will tell you if I can't and wouldn't do anything reckless, didn't I? And that time if Xie Ru did ask me to race with her, I would my clever plan and use your protection, darling!" Xiao Yun fondly called his name, veering his attention. Wang Li Lei could feel his heart tightened from her adorable words. Xiao Yun calling him darling was the best nickname he could ever hear. 

"When is your school graduation?"

Xiao Yun rubbed her chin humming to recall the day. "Next Wednesday we will receive the results the graduation party would be held." Wang Li Lei noted down her schedule and heard her talking again. 

"I will come there." Wang Li Lei stated, rubbing her head softly. 

Xiao Yun leaned her head to him, placing all her tiredness to be swept away by his side. "I was about to ask you first. I'll be waiting for you." 

"I will come on time."

When Xiao Yun walked out of the car, she waved her hands to Wang Li Lei and went back into the house while humming to a song and jumped her steps with bouncing happiness. 

"It's very good to see you happy." A snappy voice sounded from the couch of the living room that Xiao Yun thought was vacant. 

Xiao Yun jumped in startle and back off from him to finally notice the dark storm hovering upon his head. A little worried, she poked his shoulder. " What happened to you, Ge-Ge? You look like you are about to wither away." 

"Wither." Yu Xing Fu chuckled cynically and looked up at her joyful expression. "Must be good for youngsters. Did your date goes well?" he asked but his voice sounded utterly unamused. 

"Mn! It went pretty well." Hearing her joyful tone, Yu Xing Fu felt even worse.

"That's good then. You look so happy that stars are about to fall off from your eyes." His sarcastically replied.
