Just like what she told Yong Liwei, Fan Xiao Yao decided to visit his parent together with her mother. Gu Haiyang also agreed with the idea. She wanted to thank them personally for taking care of her daughter.

    Yong Liwei helped them by letting his parents know that they were arriving that day.

    Despite having successful children, Yong Weiqing and his wife lived in a simple, small house located in Sichuan. It was far away from Beijing but it was worth the travel. They had to stay for four days there. Huang Li wasn''t able to come with them since he had other things to do.

    They were warmly welcomed by Yong Weiqing and his wife. They were actually surprised at first when they learned about Gu Haiyang but at the same time, they were happy for her.

    ...

    Meanwhile, Huang Li was left alone in their place and was busy preparing for his proposal for Fan Xiao Yao.

    While she was away, he decided to visit Lu Mello and ended up meeting Lu Xingyan, Lu Mello''s younger sister instead.

    She was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her brother''s arrival. Her c.h.e.s.tnut-colored hair was woven into a braid, resting on her shoulder. She hasn''t noticed his presence since she was too focused, looking at a book. He could see the floaters, those few long, elegant strands of hair she always kept at bay with a hand as she read. Her expression was so far away. Her eyes seemed to follow those pages delicately. Her fingers would stroke the words elegantly.

    He took a step forward and then followed by his other foot as she began approaching her. He suddenly noticed how old the book looked, each page was almost brown and when she turned another, some pages were even torn. It suddenly made him wonder what kind of book was she reading?

    As he was finally a few feet away from her, she finally seemed to notice his presence. Lu Xingyan lifted her head and straightened her back. She blinked a few times upon seeing an unfamiliar face.

    "Yes?"

    Huang Li turned his gaze to her. He smiled a bit and greeted, "Hello. I''m a friend of Mello. My name is Huang Li."

    Her eyes widened a bit upon hearing his name but the look of surprise soon disappeared as soon as it came. "Oh!" She closed the book and placed it on her side before she stood up and reached out her hand to him for a handshake. "My name is Lu Xingyan, his sister."

    "It''s nice to meet you."

    "You too. Please have a seat." She offered to which he followed. She soon said after as soon as she sat on the sofa again, "My brother is currently on his way back from a meeting. I already gave him a call earlier so he should be on his way back." She turned to a servant who entered the room and ordered her to get them some drinks and snacks.

    Huang Li never met Lu Mello''s sisters but he saw them appear on Weibo sometimes. If he remembered correctly, Lu Xingyan should be the famous pianist sister of Lu Mello.

    Since Lu Xingyan wasn''t the talkative type, the room was awkwardly quiet so he decided to start some small talks with her.

    "You have a twin, right?" He started.

    "Yes. Her name is Lu Weichun."

    "Ah, right. She''s Shi Yi''s girlfriend."

    "Fiance." Lu Xingyan corrected him. "He already proposed to her."

    "Oh..." Did Shi Enxi know this? Even if she was gone now, he was pretty sure that she would come back just to attend her brother''s birthday, right?

    Once again, the room became quiet. Lu Xingyan looked hesitant about something. It was as if she wanted to ask him a question but she couldn''t bring herself to do it. Not being able to handle it anymore, she decided to excuse herself.

    While she was away, Huang Li was curious about the old, worn-out book that she was reading earlier so he went and took it but the moment he held the book, he felt an ache in his head. He stumbled a bit because of the sudden dizziness as well that he ended up sitting on the sofa, the same place where Lu Xingyan sat earlier.

    It was only a matter of seconds before the headache disappeared and his head became clear again.

    Huh? What was that about? He thought but didn''t really think much of it. He had been sleeping late the past few days so that''s must be the reason why he was suddenly feeling unwell.

    He turned his focus back on the book and slowly, carefully opened it. When he did, he saw it blank which only made him confused. He turned page after page until he reached the last but there was nothing, not even a word. Strange.

    Didn''t he saw Lu Xingyan reading the book earlier? If it was actually blank then what was she reading?Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click a href="#''s-book_49026132376353895"#''s-book_49026132376353895/a for visiting.

    "Shit!"

    He raised his head and turned to look at the shocked Lu Xingyan. Her face instantly became pale as if blood was drained from it.

    He closed the book and smiled a bit as he apologized, "I''m sorry for checking out your book without permission." He placed it on the side and stood up.

    "I-it''s fine." She stuttered, watching him go back to the couch he was originally seating on earlier. She rushed back to the sofa and picked the book, this time, placing it inside her bag.

    "If you don''t mind me asking, the book''s blank so... what were you reading earlier?" He questioned out of his curiosity.

    "Oh, this book? I was not reading anything. This is actually a sketchbook and I was trying to think of something to draw earlier." She replied, smiling a bit at him.

    "I see. So you like to draw?"

    "Yes."

    If it was a sketchbook, why did he saw her stroke the page as if she was stroking words and sentences? Did he really see it wrong? He must have seen it wrong, right? It must be because of the headache that he started mistaking the things that he saw.
