Shangri-La Regency

After coming out from the washroom he decides to go to balcony, at the end of corridor, as an itch to smoke his cigarette grown in him.

He leisurely walks forward as he takes out his cigarette and put it between his lips. He folds his cigar box and put it in his coat. His slender fingers then slip out a black lighter as his thumb press on lever. With a glitch the sparks create a blue ignition, smooth enough to light his tobacco infused roll.

His lips press the roll slightly and a dash of smoke evokes through his throat as the adam apple bobbles under his tanned smooth skin.

"Tch!"

He quietly walks to the balcony to see a pale white arm with a sparkling bracelet rolling in its wrist was holding a phone high enough to get the view of the space around.

The girl, having difficulties to get a 'suitable' picture of her, cannot get a satisfactory picture of hers.

Smelling a burning odor she frowns and looks behind, to see a tall man standing behind.

To match the ambience today the light of balconies are kept quite dim. In that not-so-well lighted place though she can't really figure out his absolutely features, she takes him as a decent person by judging his appearance.

The man on the other hand doesn't really bother by her was smoking while looking at the moon, in a silent manner.

"Uhm... Excuse me!" Hearing a partially sweet tone his eyes are drifted over her.

Though it's not very bright there, he can tell her eyes... has some temper.

"If you don't mind can you click me a photo? Please!!" she said in an absolute sweet and pleading tone.

However, the man standing at the corner seems to be unbothered.

She pursed her lips. It's awkward. Her pink hued lips as if tightened.

A smirk brushes over his lips.

"Sure." his husky baritone gives her a rush over her heart.

By his voice, seems like he has gotten a cold.

She smiles and give her phone to him. He put his cigarette on his lips and takes the phone.

"Ah... First take a full frame photo, with the whole dress and shoes okay?" As she said she keeps gesturing her hands over her body to make her words more meaningful.

'Ah... It's not as boring it seemed before!'

He captures 2 images of her in her phone and extends the phone to her.

She also excitedly bobbles to him to take a look at her photo.

After seeing a wide satisfactory smile appears in her mouth.

"My Goodness!! Are you professional!! Can't believe it's just like those insta pictures!" she then looks at him with her cute doe eyes," If you're okay... Please take a few, Na!! This scenery is so pretty, and I also got my hair and make up done from salon. Who knows such perfect occasion would come again or not!? So can you please!!"

"Hmm." He then again takes then phone and captures her pictures. She used to instruct him as per choice that how long the frame should be, and then she gives various poses one by one. He will also take her photos tirelessly while smoking his cigarette.

And after some photos she then thanks him for his precious contribution. Undoubtedly the photos come pretty satisfactory!

Then it suddenly comes to her mind," Uh! You took so many photos of mine! How about I also take few of yours? You look so nice!"

He smiled ,"...

"Sir, everyone is looking for you. Mr. Su and your father is here." Bai Hewang informs him as he glance at the girl standing beside.

"Uh...It seems like I caused you delay. Very sorry. I...I'll be leaving first then." and saying she quickly runs away from there closing the door behind .

Bai Hewang glances at his boss. XiaoRong drops the cigarette and smash it with his left foot.

Bai Hewang could feel his boss' annoyance. He decided to stay calm and wait for him to say.

"Let's go there."

.

.

.

Beautifully decorated as if glistened with gold all around...this party in Shangri-La Regency was held for 90th anniversary of Leng Conglomerate.

Soon they arrived at lounge.

Few men were sitting in that area. Leng XiaoRong swept his eyes a little farther where his mother was sitting along his aunts .

As came near the men sitting there few of them stood up to greet.

"Good evening Mr. Leng." A middle-aged man in his late fifties smiled at him," Here we are sharing our old memories with your father here."

He glanced at the man sitting a bit in the corner with a mixed gray and brownish hair with a hint of smile on his face and then looked back at the man.

"I see."

Leng XiaoRong took his sit at couch beside Su Yuchen. Leng XiaoRong sat such a position where he is facing the man.

He grabbed a goblet from the waiter and leisurely rested his back on the couch.

As his eyes moved a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

All these dogs and goats busying themselves in boot polishing for money. What a thing money is! It can make anyone beggar and king in a blink of eye. But no matter what, he will always be the king. Because that's what he was made for. To win! Because that's what everyone admires.... what others can only dream, must be owned by him. Because as the lone heir of Leng Conglomerate that's what he should be like. That's how things must be!!

He glanced at the man beside him. Leng Shihao, who's sipping his wine smiles proudly at his son.

XiaoRong too smiled at his father's gaze.

Sitting at the top balcony his eyes swept through the down floor and a pair of pale toned hand holding her phone while roaming here and there, came to his notice.

An arc brushed through his lips. He can't help but regret it for letting her go just like that. It'd be surely interesting to see her face again.
