“Alright, I’ll pass it to Su Yue . ”
“Sure . ” Xuxu readily agreed without thinking . “Bye . ”
She ended the call and dialed Yan Rusheng’s number . She followed the waiter up to the stairs to the second level and saw that the whole place was bustling with customers .
It was a lavish and extravagant restaurant . And as expected, all the customers were of wealthy or influential statuses .
The lighting was warm and dim with a rich brown carpet covering the floor . A traditional Jiangnan folk song played in the playground, completing the perfect ambiance .
When she got through Yan Rusheng’s line, a familiar and soothing ballad entered her ears .
‘It’s a pity love isn’t a few drops of tears, neither is it a few love letters… . ’
The caller ringback tone he had used had dumbfounded Xuxu for a while . She snapped out of her trance a brief moment later .
She grinned to herself . When did that fellow have the interest do such stuff? Didn’t he always regard such trivial stuff with disdain?
He had always grumbled that it was ridiculous, childish and boring .
The song ‘Love letter’ chorus was looped several times, and when he didn’t answer right away, Xuxu almost hung up .
Yan Rusheng’s pleasant voice sounded after a few rings . “Xuxu . ”
Xuxu asked, “Have you fetched First Aunt?”
Yan Rusheng quipped, “I’ll be there in a moment . ”
“Okay, I’ll wait inside the private room . ”
Xuxu hung up as she reached the second level .
They walked through the lobby before making a turn . Then, the waiter led her to a private room and stopped outside .
“Third Madam Yan, this is the room President Yan has reserved . ”
Xuxu wasn’t in the least surprised that the waiter had recognized her . She entered the room with the waiter behind her . He served a cup of water before leaving .
Xuxu put her bag down but didn’t sit . She poured the water away and disinfected it with boiling water first before pouring herself another cup . She walked to the windows and peered down .
The streets were already twinkling with bright neon lights, and it was bustling and crowded .
Xuxu gazed into the distance as she watched the scenery in a stupor .
Suddenly her phone rang and disrupted her . She turned around to get her phone which was on the table . She took a glance at the screen .
Jiang Zhuoheng!
Ah Heng? She picked up the call with haste . It had been some time since she had last contacted him .
“Hello, Ah Heng . ”
Jiang Zhuoheng’s gentle voice sounded . “Which private room are you in?”
It puzzled Xuxu . “Huh?”
She didn’t understand him .
Jiang Zhuoheng answered, “I’m at Jiangnan River Delta, too . ”
“You are here as well?” His response surprised Xuxu . She then turned to the entrance . “Give me a second, let me check . ”
She didn’t notice the private room number earlier on .
She spoke as she walked towards the entrance .
“No need…”
The door swung open and both of their voices overlapped . A tall man stood outside with a gentle and warm smile on his face, and it made Xuxu feel as though an instant wave of sunshine welcomed her .
She put down her phone and smiled at him . “You already knew I was inside this room . ”
Jiang Zhuoheng put down his phone too . “I wasn’t sure . ”
“Are you alone?” Xuxu asked .
But it was quite unlikely he would be alone in such places .
Jiang Zhuoheng wore a dark plum suit with a white shirt underneath, and he had paired it with a dark red tie, too .
His face had always been gorgeous, but his choice of clothing made him looked even more beautiful . He stuffed his hands in his pockets and took a step forward . He then leaned lazily against the door frame .
Only a step had separated him from Xuxu . He peered down at her with a tender smile .
