Xiao Bing just could not get these words out of his mind when walking in the park with Yezi by his side . Finally, an impulse got a hold of him . "And I will always be your Brother Bing . "
"Yezi, no matter what will happen and who will come for you, you will always be mine . "
"Yezi, no matter how perilous the road ahead might be, you will always find me by your side . "
"I promise that there will be no more tragedies . No one can hurt my woman again . "
Xiao Bing opened his hand and felt helpless when he was fighting Lord Long several days ago . He suddenly felt extremely upset .
There were still two months before he could unseal his power . He had to be stronger within this period, otherwise how could he protect his women?
Xiao Bing suddenly thought of a good sparring partner—the mysterious Gao Fei .
"Brother Bing, let's go to the merry-go-round . "
"Okay . " Xiao Bing grinned and went over to it with Yezi .
While Xiao Bing and Yezi were enjoying their date, Liu Kexin was reading magazines in bed . She didn't have to work today . She had a good sleep and went back to her bed after she had her breakfast .
Liu Kexin spent Valentine's Day alone every year . Sometimes, she even forgot which day this holiday was because she never had a boyfriend, except for Xiao Bing, that fake boyfriend of hers .
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door . Liu Kexin put the magazine aside and leaned on the bedside . "I'm not sleeping . Please come in," she said sweetly .
The door squeaked as the girl's mother opened it . She walked toward the bed while kindly smiling at her daughter . She put her daughter's hand on hers and grinned . "Sweetie, you seemed to be worried these days . What happened? Are you having a quarrel with Xiao Bing?"
"No, that's impossible . " Liu Kexin shook her head immediately . "Brother Bing is so kind to me . There is never a quarrel between us . "
Her mother grinned . "I'm your mother . I can always tell if you are troubled by something . Besides, do you know what day this is?"
Liu Kexin shook her head . Actually, though she had never celebrated this day with others, she knew what day Valentine's Day was .
Every nurse that was on leave was supposed to attend a party this afternoon, and anyone who had a boyfriend was asked to bring him along . They even particularly reminded Liu Kexin to bring Xiao Bing with her . Because after what happened at that ball, Xiao Bing had become so popular in this hospital . However, Liu Kexin felt that she shouldn't always ask Xiao Bing to pretend to be her boyfriend . And out of fear that they would find out the truth, she decided not to go to the party .
Upon being asked about this matter, Liu Kexin became nervous . She intended to say that she didn't know, lest her mother have any doubt about their relationship . After all, she had never spent this day with a boy before .
The mother said worriedly, "So, you two did have a quarrel . Even if you don't know when Valentine's Day is, at least your friends should know . So you haven't heard any of them mention this special day?"
Liu Kexin realized that things would be much more complicated if she said that she didn't know the day . She pouted . "Mom, he and I had a plan for today . But he's just so busy with making lamian . Today, almost every restaurant is crowded with customers . I shouldn't stop him from making money for just a holiday . "
Liu Kexin's mother sighed . "Indeed, men should attach importance to their career . But you're at the age of romance . If he chooses his work over you, I'm afraid that he will spend less and less time with you after you get married . "
"Mom, it's not a big deal . The two of us are great . You don't need to worry about us . "
"I hope so . " Liu Kexin's mother sighed while she stood up . She slowly walked to the door and whirled around . "Anyway, you should know that Xiao Bing seems to be a decent man . But we don't want you to marry a man who chooses work over family . You should be more serious about this . "
Then the girl's mother took her leave . Liu Kexin bit her lips . She knew her mother was a discerning woman . She and Xiao Bing tried to make themselves seem like a lovely couple, but a woman's intuition is a peculiar thing . Liu Kexin surmised that her mother must have thought of something, since she and Brother Bing didn't hang out on this day .
The girl was contemplating . Her father was about to say no to this arranged marriage and she did not want any mishap at the time . She hesitated for quite a while and decided to call Xiao Bing .
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service . Please try your call again . "
"I assume that Brother Bing is on a date with his real girlfriend . Yezi will definitely not be happy with me if I call Brother Bing on Valentine's Day . He's always so nice to me . I can't bring any more troubles to Brother Bing . "
Liu Kexin then called one of her colleagues . "Hello? Where are you now? Walking on the streets? I'm coming," she said with a lowered voice .
Liu Kexin hung up the phone, got up from bed, dressed herself, and walked out of the room . She faintly heard her parents talking about something in their room . She knocked on their door and walked in . "Mom, dad, I won't be back tonight . Brother Bing just called me and he asked me to come to his place . He said that he has a surprise for me . . . "
Not long ago, the girl's mother had wondered if there was something wrong with her daughter's relationship with Xiao Bing . But she was greatly delighted upon hearing the words her daughter just said . "Then what are you waiting for? You don't need to come home early tonight . Have fun . "
"I know, mom . "
Liu Kexin then made her exit and closed the door . Then she heard her father talking in the room . "I said the two are just fine . Why were you being so dramatic, woman?"
"I'm just caring for our daughter . What if something really happened between them? But it seems that I just worried too much . "
"I'll talk about the promise I made to the Yu family in two days . Our daughter has found her happiness and we can't ruin it . "
Liu Kexin felt relieved . It seemed that her guess was right . If she really stayed at home, her parents would definitely doubt the veracity of their relationship . Everything would be easier if the marriage was canceled .
Liu Kexin then put on her shoes and left home . She got in a cab and got out at a car-free street and called her colleague . Then she stood in front of a drinking shop .
Not long after, five men and seven women arrived . There were five couples among them . And two of them were nurses whom Liu Kexin was familiar with . And one nurse's boyfriend was a soldier, who spent most of the year in the army and could not come back on Valentine's Day . The other nurse was single .
Upon seeing Liu Kexin, the two single girls instantly dashed toward her and grabbed her hands . "Kexin, you're finally willing to come out . How considerate you are . We didn't bring our boyfriends because I don't have one and Zisu's boyfriend is still in the army . But why didn't you bring Xiao Bing with you?"
A smile touched Liu Kexin's lips . "Brother Bing is busy with work . He's unable to hang out with me today . "
"That's unacceptable," said a beautiful, tall girl who was wearing a revealing dress . "He thinks that money is more important than his woman? Besides, I heard that that boyfriend of yours is no more than an owner of a little noodle house . There is no way that he can be busier than my boyfriend . He earns a salary every month and his monthly salary is more than the money your boyfriend can make in a whole year . Am I right, Yang?"
Some of the bystanders all cast this woman a glance of disdain while some seemed to be jealous of her . The source of that voice was a woman called Wu Yanhui, 28 . She hooked up with a tall, handsome, rich man, Zhangyang, the owner of a middle-scaled company . His assets were worth over a dozen million .
The complacency on Zhang Yang's face was conspicuous . Though compared with those true successful businessmen, he was nearly nothing, but he liked the feeling of being envied and admired . It made him very proud .
His eyes brightened as they fixed on Liu Kexin . He reached out his hand solicitously and smiled . "Don't listen to her nonsense . I'm over 30 yet I'm still far from being a billionaire . There's nothing worth boasting about . "
Actually, he was somewhere far, far away from a billion . But he was obviously flaunting his wealth by saying that .
Abashed, Liu Kexin reached out her hand and intended to show her courtesy . However, she then felt her hand be firmly grasped by Zhang Yang's hand . The grip was so hard that she couldn't draw it back . Her face curdled instantly .
Zhang Yang grabbed Liu Kexin's hand tightly and grinned . "I heard them call you Liu Kexin . What a beautiful name, and the person is even more so . You should hang out with us more often . Your sister Yanhui likes you very much . "
Zhang Yang had been holding her hand for quite a while and finally, he loosened his grip, gradually and reluctantly . He knew that people would get suspicious if he kept holding her hand any longer .
Liu Kexin withdrew her hand and found her heart pumping vigorously . She rued the decision to hang out with them . She was slightly angry but she didn't dare bristle at him because she was not sure if the man took advantage of her deliberately .
Wu Yanhui leaned on Zhang Yang's chest and pouted . "Zhang Yang, why didn't you give me any present? It's Valentine's Day . I'm feeling so sad . "
Zhang Yang guffawed . "Who said that I didn't prepare any present for you? Will you take a look at this?"
Then he reached into his chest pocket and took out an exquisite box . The others all gasped as he opened it because they found there was a sparkling crystal necklace lying inside it . "I saw it in a mall two days ago . It's worth 50,000 . My boyfriend and I both couldn't afford it," said a girl with her eyes brightened .
The boy standing beside her seemed to feel awkward with his reddened face .
Zhang Yang felt complacent yet he shrugged deliberately . "It's merely a material thing . I don't need to buy it especially on Valentine's Day . One necklace is nothing to me . The money I make in one single deal can buy countless necklaces like this . "
"Of course . " Wu Yanhui's vanity was greatly satisfied . She cocked her neck and said coquettishly, "Honey, can you help me put this necklace on?"
The two seemed to be a lovely couple . However, Zhang Yang cast a discreet glance at Liu Kexin when he was helping his girlfriend put on the necklace, thinking of something evil .
