He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

He carried the girl on his arm and placed her on his bed. Sleeping peacefully under his arms, he brushed her hair gently to have her turning her face to follow his warm hand and mutter out. "Li Lei-"

"Mn?" He let the girl continue to speak in her sleep.

"I love you very much." she giggled to herself in her dream, making him wonder just what made her have that much fun at her sleep and what view was she dreaming. Knowing she was bringing him even to her sleep, he gave a light kiss on her forehead and replied, "Me too, I’ll protect you this time." he took a moment to stare at her face and stood from the bedside. Taking out his phone from his pocket he tapped his phone to call his mentor, the head of Chinese Mafia.

"Good evening, Suan Shifu." He greeted first and was welcomed by Suan Lung with a bright tone immediately.

"Hey, young lad! It’s rare for ya to call me first so this must be a very important matter. What happen?" Suan Lung sat in front of his rounded table, followed by his subordinates in sitting in front of him.

Wang Li Lei stared at the view of buildings bellow him. The dark sky reflected his eyes growing red. "The offer that you gave me before."

"Which offer?" Suan Lung cut off his words first to try to remember and his eyes immediately sparkled. "The successor?"

"Yes. If your offer is still available, I would want to be your successor."

Suan Lung’s lips curled into a smile. "The reason? I asked you last time but you declined, what got you to change your opinion suddenly? To go back on your own words, it doesn’t sound like ya at all."

"I have a debt to return to. A debt of blood." Wang Li Lei gave a simple reply. His voice held back with enough composure that he always used but Suan Ling could pick up the frightening murderous ambiance between his note. If it wasn’t him who was hearing his words at the moment, they would have had their knees trembling like a newborn fawn.

"Is that so." Suan Lung extended a long silence after Wang Li Lei’s answer. "Come meet me up. Meet me up in our usual place."

Suan Lung ended the call and moved his stare to the people on the rounded table with a curling smile. As the Head of Mafia in China, he had lived alone without a family and have no son that he could pass his title to. When he first met Wang Li Lei, a child with the eyes of an adult. He knew that he wasn’t a normal child. He was a little boy with hate and a child who would his intelligence to destroy his uncle who killed his parents. He remembered the first time they met was under the large tree in Wang Family’s house. The little boy stopped him when he was on his way to attend the party that was held in Wang Family’s house.

"Take me as your disciple." Wang Li Lei reached out his hand toward him, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy at that time.

Suan Lung chuckled, he looked down with dark eyes that he used to scare off children and adults. "Don’t you know what I do for a living, little boy? I’m a person who could kill ya now."

He expected Wang Li Lei to run off in fear, but instead, the little boy smiled. "I know. I have a person I have to kill. Teach me."

"A person ya have to kill and what does it have to do with me? What can it benefit me?" Suan Lung continued to intimidate the little boy. The subordinates behind them could only sigh in pity as the little boy would lose sleep tonight after his master’s endless taunt.

"I will become the Head of the Wang Family. The company under me would become the first one in China." The little boy said not as a promise but as though he was saying the sure future. "As mafia, you need help from a prosperous family, don’t you uncle? If you help me now to take down my uncle, I will repay back what you have given me."

A small laugh escaped from Suan Lung’s mouth before it began to grow louder. His subordinate could only evade his eyes from the crude laughter that his master gave and sympathy to the boy.

"Alright, deal." Suan Lung agreed and took a handshake to the boy. After that, he took the boy to live with him. It certainly wasn’t the right environment for a young boy to live in and originally he thought that Wang Li Lei would only bear for only three weeks at most. But the boy lived with him for almost four years and he became his proudest disciple out of all.

He thought of making him his next successor and believed that he would be the most promising person he could trust, but the young man had found his own home he wanted to protect.

Looking at the rest of the people in the table who have been making a loud racket to decide who would be Suan Lung’s next successor, he spoke. "Ya’ll don’t need to worry anymore ’bout the successor. I’ve found the perfect one."

Wang Li Lei sat next to the bedside, his fingers trailing the girl’s face. All this time she had been suffering on her own. Suffering from her pain that came from the past. She had always pulled a cheerful smile, showering from the happiness that he promised to always secure for her. By not showing how frightened she is to suffer and die to repeat again in a new world. She must’ve feared the future. Feared that the past would repeat again or possibly change to the worst.

The reason that she didn’t want to tell him the past must’ve been because of the Butterfly effect and because the story sounded too impossible to be true. The person who had killed Xiao Yun, even if he doesn’t remember it. He would surely repay his debt from her past lives.

When morning came, the light shone upon the worlds to bring back the morning that was lost. Xiao Yun cried to her sleep and felt a slight headache attacking her from over crying. Her eyelids were also swollen from the harsh rubbing that she did last night. But she had never woke up this fresh and free from the fear that always hovered around her.

She pulled down the warm blanket covering her and realized that she had been sleeping for the whole night in Wang Li Lei’s room. Immediately she stood up and glanced around to see that she had gone back to her room with her friends sleeping beside her.

Rubbing to her chin, she wondered. ’Last night... Did I really told him everything or... was it only my dream?’

In the midst of her contemplation, she knew that what happened last night was too vivid to be a dream and there’s no way her dream could be that realistic. Xiao Yun breath out in relief slumped to the bed before standing up again to slap her cheeks lightly and cheer herself to begin her day. After yesterday, she felt her body lighter than any other day after she went back to time.

Nie An and Ming Ran woke up not soon after she finished her morning routine and greeted her in a drowsy yawn. When it was time for breakfast, Xiao Yun went to the dining hall and grouped with Nie An and Zhi Ling Ling at the table.

Nie An stared at Xiao Yun’s swollen eyes in a little worry. "Your eyes look so puffy today. Did you cry last night?" she asked if Xiao Yun really did cry that would mean that CEO Wang was the one who made her cry.

Last night while she was about to sleep with Ming Ran, their room received a knock from the Demon Lord. His expression was blood curling and she knew clearly that the man was deeply furious about something. He brought Xiao Yun back at her bed and disappeared swiftly.

"I did." Xiao Yun touched her eyelids and placed the cold ice covered in a towel over her swollen eyes.

Nie An frowned, "Did CEO Wang scolded you?"

Xiao Yun took a moment of silence to process her words and immediately shook her head with vigor. "No! No! No! It’s not what you are thinking. I cried because of a different reason."

Nie An seemed to accept her reply in surface but still place some doubt as she knew how frightening Wang Li Lei was.

"Anyway, I have something I want to give you two!" Xiao Yun veered the conversation quickly, pulling the bracelet that she bought for them. "I bought this two days ago, isn’t it beautiful? The shopkeeper told me that it also acts as a protection charm."

"Ah-" Nie An rubbed her forehead with a troubled expression, making Xiao Yun froze a little. Not only did Nie An looked troubled, but the quiet Zhi Ling Ling also had the same expression.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Yun saw the two girls pulling the same bracelet in different colors and spoke in a tune.

"We also bought it."

The three girls looked at the bracelet on their palm and laughed at each other. Xue Xiu Yong entered the dining hall to see three girls laughing wholeheartedly and unknowingly pulled the corner of his lips.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked from behind, appearing to take the seat opposite to Xiao Yun. He glanced on the bracelet on their hands and gave a lopsided grin, "You three bough the same bracelet?"

Seeing Xue Xiu Yong was about to take one of the bracelets on Xiao Yun’s hand, Nie An swatted his hand. "Hands off! Those two are mine and Ling Ling’s!"

"Yes!" Zhi Ling Ling took the bracelet from Xiao Yun’s hand and puffed her cheeks.

Xue Xiu Yong sighed at their defense and stared at the Xiao Yun whose smile was far brighter than usual. Although he couldn’t put the right word to it, Xiao Yun had always looked a little dark even when she smiled, but now her smile felt ethereal.
