Days later.
Dennis Huo got his hands really full that he stayed for only couple of days and left in haste, leaving only one word, “see you in Japan,little sister-in-law.”
And Debra Huo kept herself extremely busy too in the meanwhile.
Uncle Pan minded her about the stock listings of the new company and he would be much more occupied than usual.
And she did her daily routine - go to school, leave school, and return home.
Only, she hadn’t seen him for three whole days.
She stayed until after 11 every night waiting for him and he didn’t appear.
In the morning, the man was still in bed when she woke and Uncle Pan would not let her to disturb.
And she had lost track of when she had started caring about him so much.
Which troubled her extremely and made her awkward and uncomfortable.
To such an extent that she lost in a trance at Nancy Xi’s birthday party.
“Laura(Candy)!” Nancy Xi approached in a splendid dress, “what’s wrong? How come you sit in the corner alone?”
Laura Su gave a slight smile, and turned to her, “you look so beautiful today!”
Nancy Xi smiled back, took her hand and introduced her to her own families and friends, “everybody, this is my best friend Laura Su!”
Laura Su was no village girl; her father would throw grand parties for her birthdays every year.
Therefore, she did not have the stage fright on this kind of occasion.
It was just, it killed her seeing Nancy Xi’s families, friends and relatives offer their birthday wishes and give their concerns about her health one after another.
Because she enjoy the same privilege on her last birthday.
However, this year...
“Nancy Xi!” a call of a deep voice caught her.
And it startled Sun Laura so she turned.
The man was about 25, in a military uniform.
He was quite handsome, six feet tall, with resolute and steadfast qualities or so.
“Lichen is back,” the surrounding relatives greeted him.
“Lichen loves her little sister so much, with so much going on in the military, he still made it to her birthday anyway!”
Laughter and admiration from their relatives and friends floated in the cheerful air.
The handsome and stately man just walked towards them step by step.
Nancy Xi was obviously caught unexpectedly, her lips twisted and gave an embarrassed smile, “ brother, you are back?!”
Laura Su looked at the man, then at Nancy Xi , BROTHER?
She said her mother had only her.
Where did this brother come from?
“I should come back no matter how, it’s your birthday. Why? I’m not welcome?” he stared at Nancy Xi , pretending to be mad.
“Yes, you are. I’m happy, I’ m very happy!” she took Laura Su’s hand, “Laura, this is my brother, Walter Nan.”
“Um, nice to meet you!” She mumbled.
“The pleasure is mine!” he nodded in return.
“Gosh, Lichen is back!” girls gathered around and whispered.
These girls were mostly daughters of friends of father Xi’s, they all fancied him.
This is for you!”Walter Nan handed her a box, “open it!”
Nancy Xi took it, frowned, and didn’t open.
Laura Su stood aside, confused, WHAT?
What was happening?
Why was Nancy Xi all upset?
“Um, I’ll open it later, I should put it in my room!” she turned to Laura Su, “Laura, I’ll be back in a second, you just stay!”
She hurried upstairs.
Just when Laura Su was in a loss and wondered why , what was happening with Nancy Xi ?
Someone whispered nearby, “I envy her, though her own father died early, her step-father is so rich, and a brother so perfect! I wish I were her!”
“True. And her brother loves her so much! If it were someone else, he would hate her in the guts for her mom marrying his dad!”
Laura Su was not stupid, and surely she understood the whole story.
This brother, seemed to be the step father’s kid.
No wonder they looked not close.
Nancy Xi ran to her room without a break, and closed the door at once.
The next second she was opening the box at the beside.
Her face became pale the moment she opened it.
She threw the box of stuff on the ground.
When the door was opened.
Nancy Xi raised her head and saw the man.
He locked the door from inside.
“What?You don’t like my gift?”
“Are you sick, Walter Nan? Giving me this?”
The floor was scattered with condoms, in all colors.”
Walter Nan smiled scornfully, walked over step by step and the next second he pushed her against the wall, in an evil voice, “you really don’t like my gift ? we would use that a lot!”
Nancy Xi scowled at him, “you sick pervert. It’s my birthday, are you insane?”
“Insane?” he smiled, “I came all the way back from the army for your birthday, and you are calling me insane?”
“Nobody wanted you for my birthday!” she glared, “Go the hell back to your army!”
Walter Nan became most displeased, he held her chin and kissed on her lips directly.
This kiss, was bossy and urgent.
Nancy Xi almost lost her breath.
He would not have let her lips go if he had been afraid of suffocating her.
“Someone has become naughtier since the last time l fixed her, hasn’t she?” he ran her fingers over her lips, and his words were full of warning.
Nancy Xi gasped and glared, “I’m telling you off, you pervert!”
“Telling me off, what have I done to you to make you tell me off?”
The man leaned over and bit her ear as an punishment.
That pain made her whole body tremble.
“Don’t touch me!”
