Chapter 17: Certificate
After his morning workout, he went into the coffee shop to see two plates of toast and tea on the table.
He looked at Ling Xue, who was seated eating her breakfast. Her hair was tied up and her face filled with joy.
"Is this… for me?"
Ling Xue looked at Sky Yun as if he was an idiot.
"Of course, we are the only two here dear."
Ling Xue continued to eat her toast while Sky Yun stood there with an amused expression on his face.
"Dear? You decided to call me that now?"
Sky Yun, after last night, he had lost all of his cold, apathetic feelings for Ling Xue. He sat down on
his chair across from her and started to eat his breakfast.
"Yun, let's go get registered before I go back to the farm."
Ling Xue asked, Sky Yun nodded his head and went to get changed.
After getting ready, they both took a taxi to the marriage registration office. After arriving, they see a small line with a huge sign saying 'MARRIAGE' on it. They both stood in line, which was filled with youngsters in their early 20s.
Many looked at Sky Yun and Ling Xue, for the men Ling Xue is seen as an average 'beauty', so they didn't pay attention as much. However, the girls with the men were staring at the handsome Sky Yun, with sparkling eyes.
Sky Yun didn't care however, and just had decided to act as if they didn't exist. However, Ling Xue looked at the girls and grabbed Sky Yun's arm. Sky Yun looked at Ling Xue, who was teasing the disappointed girls and smiled.
"NEXT!"
Sky Yun and Ling Xue were up next, they walked towards the counter and was handed a form.
"Fill the questions in and then hand it in quickly."
The old woman who was in the counter had a distorted expression on her face. Sky Yun sighed and grabbed the pen given to him and started to fill it in.
The questions were simple, it asked for his name, parents and where he lives. Ling Xue also filled in her side and they both finished after 2 minutes.
"Congratulations, you are officially married. Here is your certificate."
The old woman, with an expressionless tone gave them their certificate. Ling Xue grabbed the certificate and started to jump up and down whilst laughing.
Sky Yun who rarely expresses emotions had a smile on his face and hugged Ling Xue. His life was filled with dark moments, and Ling Xue is something that sheds light to it in his mind.
They both walked out the office, and went back to the coffee shop. Ling Xue started to pack her bags to return to her family home.
After finishing up, she grabs her suitcase and walks to the door.
"I'll tell dad that I married you, but it might not go so well…"
Their marriage was a flash marriage, which now in Chinese society has increased over the past few years. Ling Xue's dad, Ling Wang, might not like that they had married and might split them up as he is part of the older generation that were more conservative.
Even if he tried to split them up, Ling Xue would just ignore her father's wishes and live together with Sky Yun, if that was the case.
"Don't worry, just be safe on your journey back."
Sky Yun hugged her and turned around, Ling Xue looked at the back of the man she now calls husband and walks out of the shop with a happy expression on her face.
A day later, Sky Yun opens the coffee shop once again and continues his daily life.
DING~
The door opens, and a woman comes straight in and walks towards Sky Yun. He looks up to see his sister, Chen Fei, who he hasn't seen since him and his mother had spoken.
"Y-Yo…"
Chen Fei looked at the ground refusing to gaze at Sky Yun. Sky Yun remembered his mother's words to him and sighed.
"Need anything, Fei?"
Chen Fei looked up at her brother and tears started to form. She could only remember getting brotherly affection when she was really young but after her parents divorced, she has been all alone without any help nor support. Her brother, asking if she needed anything, was all she wanted. Someone she can depend upon.
Sky Yun was confused, he did not expect Chen Fei to cry. He quickly stood up and grabbed a tissue box on the kitchen table.
Chen Fei wiped her tears and stared at Sky Yun.
"Should I c-call you Yun or Brother Yun or – "
"Anything that makes you comfortable."
Sky Yun went back to reading his book in silence, with Chen Fei standing there with nothing to do except look at him.
"Big Bro Yun, why did you say I look like that bastard? You mean dad, right?"
Chen Fei didn't expect to see Sky Yun suddenly closing his book and staring straight at her.
"Listen closely, that fucker isn't 'my' dad. Remember this, I am related to you, and mother only. But that bastard isn't my family."
Chen Fei was scared, the cold stare and heavy atmosphere from Sky Yun made her shiver to her bones. She knew that Sky Yun hated her father, but did not expect to see this reaction at all.
Sky Yun, after hearing her mention his name got agitated. Although he had abandoned the thought of revenge towards the Chen Family, the mere mention of the man causes him to release slight killing intent.
He sighed, and looked at his sister.
"I am sorry, but that man left me for dead. He didn't love me like a son, so why should I treat that man as a father? I know you might see the man differently, but do remember that you are his daughter and not some other person."
Chen Fei listened to her brother's reasonable explanation. She remembered that her mother called her dad bastard too, which meant that perhaps he was someone different to what she had thought.
"No, no, don't be sorry. I was the one who mentioned him. Can you help me with something?"
Chen Fei quickly changed the subject and finally asked what she had come here for.
"What do you need?"
"Well, I need you to come with me during the charity ball coming up. Are you free next week?"
Sky Yun grabbed a calendar book under his desk and looked to see if he was free. He had bought this book after signing the contract to become the instructor of the Chinese Army so that he remembers which dates he must attend.
"I am free for the whole week. Just come to the shop in the morning of the day and I'll get ready."
He starts his Instructing job in 2 weeks, so next week he is completely free.
"Cool! Can I come tomorrow to visit?"
Sky Yun nodded, and Chen Fei stood up and walked towards the door before turning around.
"See you tomorrow, Big Brother!"
She ran off chuckling as Sky Yun sat in his usual seat with a book in hand staring at the door in a trance.
"My little sister really grew up huh…"
He muttered.
"Welcome to Shanghai, Mr Sky Long."
A Chinese air-plane attendant said to the old man seated in front of her.
'I have arrived, let's see how that little devil is doing.'
Chapter 18: The Old Man's Visit, Part I
DING~
"Hey Big Brother!"
Chen Fei walked in the coffee shop, it was the next day and she planned to stay here till her lesson begins in the afternoon.
She sees Sky Yun, in the kitchen making breakfast. On the table, a package box with an address and a name 'Ling Xue' on it.
"Hey, what's this?"
Sky Yun turns his head to see what Chen Fei was talking about, and then went back to cooking.
"It's for my wife, I bought her a ring."
Sky Yun said without turning his head around.
"W-W-WIFE!?"
Chen Fei was completely shocked, this man who has never smiled or shown any emotion in front of her has a wife?
Sky Yun didn't bother looking at her, but Chen Fei stood there in a daze.
"Can I meet B-big sister then?"
"You already did, when mother came in."
Chen Fei tried to recall any memory of seeing someone, but to no avail. She left when she took her mother to Sky Yun as she wished to be alone with him.
"I don't remember, but I want to meet her."
Sky Yun finished cooking after she had said that and looked at her.
"Sure, she'll be back in a month's time."
Ling Xue had told him that she has to stay with her dad for a bit before moving over to his home, Sky Yun didn't mind as he was meant to go work as an instructor for a month too.
He grabbed a plate, and filled it with his breakfast and sat down on the table. Chen Fei followed suit, and sat on the chair across from him.
"When is the ball."
"In 2 days, many families will take part but since fa- I mean that man is not coming, I'll have to come on his behalf."
Chen Fei was about to say father but remembered the hatred Sky Yun had on him. Sky Yun listened in and felt conflicted slightly.
"So, I'll have to be part of the Chen Family?"
He hated the Chen Family, he wished for it to burn to the ground but after promising his mother to love and protect his sister he did not wish to say no.
"Don't worry, you'll represent yourself but some people might recognise you though."
Recognise? It had been 10 years since he was kicked out and his appearance changed a lot. His physique and height also changed dramatically, so to recognise him would be shocking.
Chen Fei knew this and slapped her forehead, what a stupid question she had asked. But Sky Yun didn't care, as he sat there eating on without saying another word.
After finishing his meal, he then started to set up the shop. Chen Fei had asked Sky Yun to work in the coffee shop till her lesson starts and he agreed.
He opened the shop, and sat down reading his book with Chen Fei also reading her book on a stool beside him.
DING~
The door opened, and the same group from his first day came in. Yun Sheng, Xiao Xin, Zhao Tuo and Ouyang Na walked in and went to the counter.
Chen Fei who was reading looked up to see her friends come in, and stood up.
The group stood at the counter, and turned to see their good friend Chen Fei standing there with an apron on.
"FEIFEI?"
Xiao Xin yelled; she couldn't believe the university cold beauty was working in a coffee shop. The rest held a dumbfounded expression on their faces too.
"What would you like to order."
They didn't answer but instead looked at the man who was seated reading his book in silence.
"Hey, how did you get the Chen Princess to come work at this shop?"
Yun Sheng asked, the rest also had the same question in their head too. Sky Yun glanced at them for a second before reading his book. His cold, apathetic attitude irritated Yun Sheng.
"You… can you speak?"
Chen Fei looked at the situation and sighed.
"He is my brother; I came to work here to repay a favour I owe him."
Brother? When did she have a brother? They weren't convinced and felt something fishy was going on.
"Feifei, you don't need to lie to your best friend. Do you fancy him? You like that handsome man right?"
Ouyang Na, teasing Chen Fei as usual, continued to pester her with questions.
Sky Yun placed his book down and looked at the group in front of him.
"Do you want to order or not?"
"I'll do it Big Brother Yun, don't worry."
Looking at the two, the group was really surprised that Chen Fei acted the way she is currently.
Chen Fei had countless suitors, many being heirs to huge families across China. She usually was cold and didn't care for anyone's well-being except those truly close to her.
"Fei, are you really in love with him?"
Xiao Xin whispered; Chen Fei shook her head.
"He is really my biological brother, my mother told me and asked him to look after me."
Xiao Xin decided to believe Chen Fei, as Chen Fei has never lied to her before, and wouldn't lie in this situation.
The group finally settled in and ordered, and Sky Yun quickly made it for them.
The day continued normally, with the group still in the shop talking. Lunch was approaching and Sky Yun walked in the kitchen to make food.
DING~
Two huge men walked in with black and white suits, both looked as if they were part of the movie 'Men In Black'.
They opened the door in a serving manner and in came an old man with a cane and a fedora hat on. His mouth was covered with a lit cigar and was laughing as he walked in.
The group felt threatened by who came in, Sky Yun walked in behind the counter, as if no one came into the coffee shop.
"HAHAHA, Little devil, you are not going to say hi to this old man."
Sky Yun looked up and saw the old man, Sky Long in front, of him. He was very shocked as he did not expect this at all, but he quickly got his head straight and raised his eyebrows.
"You do realise the meeting is in a month, shouldn't you prepare?"
What Sky Yun was referring to, was the Round Table Conference. He had heard about it during his training by the old man and understood that the conference was a way to keep organised crime, 'organised'.
"Don't worry about that, I came to visit you because I heard you got a girl now!"
Sky Long looked at table that Xiao Xin, Yun Sheng, Ouyang Na and Zhao Tuo were, and saw Chen Fei who was wearing an apron standing there.
"Is it this young lass? Man, you were like me when I was young HAHAHA!"
"No, it's my sister."
Sky Long stopped laughing, and looked at Sky Yun.
"So, she is the Chen Family's princess. You going there anytime soon?"
Sky Long knew the hatred that Sky Yun had for the Chen Family. But not to his expectation, Sky Yun shook his head.
"I gave up a long time ago."
Sky Long started to laugh like a madman before taking a seat in front of Sky Yun. Sky Yun looked at the bodyguards and turned his gaze to the old man.
"They are releasing killing intent, my customers will feel scared."
Sky Long then ordered his bodyguards to go back to the SUV parked outside.
Chen Fei and her friends were scared and shocked, they did not expect that the old man and Sky Yun to know each other.
Chen Fei was confused, she looked at her brother and realised he wasn't what she thought he would be.
'Who exactly are you, big bro?'
