And as soon as he stepped into the living room , almost every member of the Youth Team jumped out from their hidden places and wished him excitedly . The man smiled and nodded to everyone before turning to face William , " Where is she ? "

William grinned at the man and handed him the whiskey gla.s.s in his hand ," Patience , Mr. Xi , Patience . She will appear in front of you when she truly wants to . "

Patience... That was the last thing he was able to keep after the day he had .

Xi Yuan glared coldly at this 'best friend' of his woman and William gulped nervously ," Look , I really don't know where she is. Don't kill me for that ."

After sometime , the man excused himself and entered the walk-in closet to change into something comfortable before joining back the guests .

Soon , a three-tier Chocolate cake arrived in the living room along with the Xi trio . The three siblings hugged the man tightly and wished him. But when the man asked about the girl , even they refused to reveal anything .

Traitors !

Shortly after cutting the cake , the man was taken into the backyard of his penthouse . A beautiful bonfire was set up there and the place was dimly lit by Chrome cubes and Hyphae lamps . The decoration was done in such a manner that his backyard almost looked like a forest and he felt like he was there for camping .

Even the Xi trio hadn't expected their sister-in-law to think so out-of-the-box . Could she be any less talented when it came to giving surprises ?

Xi Yuan was really moved by all the sweet and simple gestures of the girl . He knew that only his woman could think like that and that she had done all of this alone .

He was even hundred percent sure that the cake was baked by the girl herself . He really wanted her to be near him when he was cutting the cake but she apparently had other plans. No matter what , he could never be completely satisfied by this birthday until he would see her. Her presence was the biggest gift he could ask for.

The man sat down on the wooden bench along with the Youth Team members as they started telling him about how they met Rong Xinghe and how she decided to add them for the social service . Not everyone in Youth Team were actors and dancers like William Young . Some were gymnasts , while some were singers . Some were famed for sports , while some were known for mimicry and stand up comedy . Each and everyone in Youth Team had a unique story and most of them had a middle cla.s.s or poor background .

Some of them had met Rong Xinghe in awkward and embarra.s.sing circ.u.mstances while some had simply been discovered by her . But no matter what , Rong Xinghe cherished everyone of them . She kept a group of positive and ambitious people around her because she believed that friends.h.i.+p affected the mental mindset of a person .

But in the entire Youth Team , no one was as successful as Rong Xinghe . After all , it was not easy to reach the pinnacle of an entire nation in such a young age . But they sincerely admired Rong Xinghe and never envied her . They knew about her past and hence , respected her for where she had reached today .

Just when Xi Yuan was listening to an Indian 19 year old actress telling about her first meet up with Rong Xinghe , he heard the soft key sound of a piano . The man turned around to look at the woman sitting in front of the grand board as her slender and fair fingers danced over the keys softly .

The woman was wearing a Dark Blue Starry night Mermaid style off-shoulder gown and had put on a light make up .

This scene was so serene and radiated so much purity that the man could literally hear the sound of his rapidly beating heart . None of the Youth Team members dared to make any noise as well as they stared at the girl with shocked expressions .

When did she started singing publicly ?

Hadn't she stopped that after the incident ten years ago ?!

What magic had this man tried on her ?!!

The girl looked at the man and her lips curled upwards . She cleared her throat and tapped the microphone attached to her dress before singing .

[[[ "I admit that we are not lovers

It's decided that we have no love yet

But, don't meet your eyes with mine

I do not trust my heart

You look like a path on which warmth run

You look like a relation between sleep and eyes

You are like a changing time that brings happiness to me

You are the moment that doesn't stop my tomorrow

I admit that we are not lovers

It's decided that we have no love yet

But , don't smile the way you smile at me

I do not trust my heart

Those all praising words are true

Those are said from heart and I deeply wish

May you live a life with success and love

May you live a life filled with the honor you deserve

I admit that we are not lovers

It's decided that we have no love yet

But , don't stand by me the way you do

I really do not trust my heart . "

]]]

Almost everyone were speechless by the depth in the girl's words and the sweetness in her voice . No one had ever expected Rong Xinghe to still have such a magnetizing and captivating voice . No one had expected her to still be the same "Voice of the world" she was back then .

Of course , Xi Yuan was touched the most . This was his girl's biggest gift . She had done something she had not done for the past ten years . She had expressed her true feelings honestly in front of everyone .

She had admitted to him that she was confused about him. She had accepted that his presence affected her and that she was afraid that his actions could possess her heart . Although , they were not lovers yet , she had possibly started to like him back. She had accepted that there was something between them and that she was giving a serious thought to their relations.h.i.+p.

The man strode over towards the girl and pulled her in his embrace in front of everyone as he buried his face into her naked shoulder ," Thank you so much Xinghe !"

The girl smiled gently and hugged the man back ," I am still not clear about ..."

"Take your time. This is already the brightest ray of hope for me. I can wait for you till my last breath , my love.", the man cut-in in a raspy voice.

When it came to loving this woman , patience was the key and he always knew that. After all , who would understand Xinghe more than her Yuan ?
