Things had suddenly fallen into such an unexpected place that Su Zhengxing was speechless.
“As long as you successfully complete your mission and make him fall in love with you, you won’t lose a cent of that 100 million.”
“Are you sure?” Lin Qiao confirmed again and again, her tone full of distrust.
“I’m sure.” Su Zhengxing said patiently.
“I don’t believe it, unless you transfer me a deposit of 10 million first!”
Lin Qiao said as she was about to log into Su Zhengxing’s bank account to let him transfer the money.
Su Zhengxing: “…” It was unnecessary for him to explain these to her.
Ever since she learned that Baitian might go bankrupt, Lin Qiao had been terribly worried. She worried that if that 100 million yuan really became a blank check, wouldn’t all her hard work for almost half a year be in vain?
The more she thought about it, the deeper her frown became, and she sighed from time to time.
On the plane, Su Zhengxing saw Lin Qiao’s gloomy face and thought that she was still upset about being splashed with hot coffee.
He asked with some pity, “Does it hurt?”
Interrupted from her thoughts, Lin Qiao looked up in confusion, “What?”
“Your face.” He said.
Lin Qiao then remembered that she had been splashed with hot coffee on her face. She hadn’t felt it before, but now that she remembered it, it really hurt. She raised her hand and touched it, “It hurts…”
Not only did her face hurt, but her heart ached as well. She felt that her efforts might have been in vain!
Seeing that she was about to cry, Su Zhengxing thought that she was in great pain, so he gently cupped her cheek and blew on it.
His broad palm gently caressed her cheek, his fingertips slightly cool. It felt like millions of tiny ants were crawling where their skin touched. Her cheeks and ears began to burn, and Lin Qiao’s heart shrank uncontrollably.
Something was wrong. She instinctively wanted to shrink back.
“Don’t move.” He whispered.
Behind the clear glass lenses lay a pair of dark eyes, gleaming brightly, and a gentle gaze fell on her face.
For some reason, Lin Qiao suddenly thought of the girl he had just met at the airport. She was bright and beautiful, pure and charming, and her every gesture was as soothing as a breeze across a lake.
Wake up! That’s the girl he was destined to fall in love with, his destined lover. Even if they didn’t end up together, it wouldn’t be you. You were just a passerby in his life, driven by money.
Lin Qiao told herself this in her heart.
…
It was already six o’clock in the evening when they landed in London. After checking in at the front desk, Lin Qiao escorted Su Zhengxing to his reserved executive suite. The hotel had included a complimentary dinner. After putting their belongings away, Lin Qiao followed Su Zhengxing to the restaurant.
The restaurant, exclusively for executive suites, was located on the 44th floor of the hotel. It was exquisitely decorated and offered a wide view, offering a panoramic view of London’s nightscape.
As they walked in, before Lin Qiao could even sigh, she heard a few words of argument.
“Hello, Ma’am. I’m sorry you had an unpleasant experience. All our meals are non-refundable after they’re served. If you have any complaints about the meal, I can ask our chef to come and explain it to you.”
“I’ve told you many times, I don’t have a complaint about the food. I didn’t order any of those dishes. I only ordered a plate of pasta. You misunderstood me!”
Not far away, Shen Ruxing was explaining to the waiter in her broken English, which was as bad as Lin Qiao’s. She looked so anxious that she looked like a little white rabbit with its fur standing on end.
Su Zhengxing, who never cared about such trivial matters, was about to continue walking toward his reserved seat when he suddenly turned his toes and walked uncontrollably toward Shen Ruxing.
“Let her go. I’ll pay for her.”
As he spoke, he held out a black card between his fingers.
