She had seen him at the Xie Shengjun and Keira"s wedding and had formally met that time. He looked so handsome when she saw him that she even forgot to breathe when he shook hands with her. However, since he was married she never came forward to show her appreciation for him more so because of the fact that she was Keira"s younger sister. It would have been simply scandalous if she had shown her feelings for him. Moreover, because of Xie Shengjun, her parents had been living in City Z so comfortably that she didn"t want to upset those things. At eighteen years, she was also about to leave for a college degree to America. Today when she was browsing a phone for herself, she saw Xie Yuansheng and once again her young heart fluttered.
"h.e.l.lo Xie Yuansheng," she greeted him when she went near him. She was wearing a white cotton s.h.i.+rt and jeans with sneakers.
Xie Yuansheng was startled when he heard his name and looked at the source of voice. A young and pretty girl was standing right over there. He looked at her with a blank expression. "h.e.l.lo…?" he replied.
She laughed softly and said, "I don"t blame you for not remembering me Brother Xie Yuansheng. You only saw me once and that too very fleetingly."
Xie Yuansheng nodded. If she was calling him Xie Yuansheng, then she must have known him very well. He had to be cautious about what he spoke now. "Yes, I don"t remember you. Sorry about that," he added wondering if she was some high cla.s.s business family girl.
She laughed again and said, "Oh no! You don"t have to be sorry. I am Keira"s sister, Kate." She extended her hand to shake.
Xie Yuansheng held her hand immediately and shook it warmly. She was related to his employer and she had to be talked to very nicely. She hardly looked like Keira. Her hair was straight and hanging till her waist. She was so unlike Keira. In fact she looked very pet.i.te and girlish unlike gamine Keira.
Kate was moved that Xie Yuansheng had such nice manners. He wasn"t arrogant, as the public had painted him in the media. "Nice to meet you again," she said with a smile lingering on her lips.
He smiled back, which captivated her young heart again. "So do you need help with finding a phone?" she asked.
He made a face and then scratched his hair. "Yes, that would be nice. There are so many models here that I am confused now."
Kate went and stood next to him and started telling him the details about all the models out there. Before coming to buy a mobile she had conducted her research well and knew what to look for. Since she was a student, she needed a mobile that had a lot of storage. So she asked his purpose. Xie Yuansheng could never say that the phone was for Lu Boyun because then she would have chosen a basic phone, so he said that he wanted to surf the Internet and also play games.
Kate then asked him to follow her to a different counter where he came across an interesting array of phones that catered to his taste. After discussing for almost an hour, they finally decided on one model. It was pretty expensive but worth the price. When Lu Boyun came to see the phone, even he was impressed but when he heard the price, he almost fainted. "Twenty thousand Yuan! I would no way buy this kind of atrociously priced phone." That was almost half his monthly salary.
Kate looked at Xie Yuansheng with a surprised expression. He had come to buy the phone for Lu Boyun and not for himself? Xie Yuansheng looked at her sheepishly and smiled. But Kate immediately added, "Lu Boyun if Brother Xie Yuansheng has come to buy the phone with you, then you must accept what he wants to give you. After all he is your Young Master!" She thought that Xie Yuansheng was so kind that he was presenting such an expensive phone to his butler. She was all the more impressed.
Lu Boyun gulped. How could he refute what she said and how could he buy what Xie Yuansheng chose for him? This was a difficult situation. He clung to his push b.u.t.ton phone and thought, "Young Master wait till your memory comes back. I will give this phone to you only!" Somehow, he agreed to buy the phone and all of them walked out of the shop.
Xie Yuansheng and Lu Boyun were about to leave when Kate asked politely, "Since we are meeting after a long time Brother Xie Yuansheng, can I treat you?"
Xie Yuansheng liked the fact that he was out in the market. It really helped him a lot and he was feeling refreshed. "Sure, why not?" he replied with a smile.
Kate"s eyes beamed with joy because she wasn"t expecting him to say yes. But as soon as he agreed, even though Lu Boyun protested a bit, she just guided them to a nearby restaurant where they served noodles with pork. She said that this was one of the best eateries in City Z for that dish. When they entered the eatery, immediately all the security around them went and stood in front of its entrance.
She was jumping with joy. Even if this was going to be for a very short time, she wanted to enjoy Xie Yuansheng"s company to the fullest. She knew that she would keep it friendly. There was no point in complicating the life. She was an extremely simple girl and she was no match to Feng Xinying, so all she could do was be with him for a short time and enjoy it. She guided them to a small corner and ordered her favorite dish for three of them.
While waiting for the dish to arrive, she looked at the two men sitting in front of her. She could never imagine Xie Yuansheng sitting in the same place along with butler. He belonged to such high-cla.s.s society, yet he was so down to earth.
