In the elevator, Ling Tianya looked at the floor numbers go up and her eyes gradually became cold. “Zhang Ke, do one thing for me.”
Noticing the change on Ling Tianya’s face, Zhang Ke became immediately alert. “What?”
Ling Tianya leaned near Zhang Ke’s ear and whispered something. Hearing what Ling Tianya said, Zhang Ke’s eyes widened. “So, someone was really following us just now?”
Ling Tianya nodded. Earlier in the elevator door, she only saw the man’s back and it was a short glance, but Ling Tianya was certain that it was Li Chenfeng.
Suddenly, Zhang Ke’s face blushed as she thought of what Ling Tianya had said to her. She responded awkwardly, “But Miss Ling, I have never done such a thing…and, I am a woman…”
Ling Tianya patted Zhang Ke on the shoulder. “There is a first time for everything. You can do it.”
When the elevator door opens, Ling Tianya walked out with the suitcase. Through the window, she saw the scenery outside and the mountains in the distance. “Such a beautiful view! It’s a shame that some people tried to dampen my mood.”
Ling Tianya didn’t get much sleep the prior night and got up early that morning. She decided to take some rest at the hotel and check out the scenic area the next day.
The sound of an incoming message awoke Ling Tianya. She realized that it was already dark outside, and she had been asleep for almost half a day.
She picked up the phone from the bedside table and the message was from Zhang Ke. Ling Tianya replied to the message and put the phone back on the table before laying down again. Ruan Zeyan should have landed by then, but he hadn’t contacted her yet.
“What a petty man!” Ling Tianya scratched her head as she got out of bed. She hadn’t eaten anything all day and was hungry.
After a simple meal, Ling Tianya came to the lobby of the hotel. The place was small, but still held a lot of people.
Ling Tianya sat down and the waiter immediately attended to her. “Miss, what would you like to drink?”
“A can of soda.” Ling Tianya said without looking at the wine list.
“Okay.” The waiter turned around and was about to leave. The voice of Ling Tianya called again behind him. “Oh, I don’t need a gla.s.s. You can bring the soda in a can and I’ll open it myself.”
The waiter was stunned by Ling Tianya’s words and seemed a little nervous. Then he subconsciously glanced toward a seat in the corner of the lobby bar.
Ling Tianya tried to follow the waiter’s eyes, but the seat was blocked by the piano and she couldn’t see anything. “Is there a problem?”
The waiter quickly put on a smile. “No problem, I will go and get it for you.”
Soon, the waiter brought a can of unopened soda to Ling Tianya. “Miss, would you like anything else?”
“No, thank you.” Ling Tianya decisively declined. The waiter paused for a second and left.
Ling Tianya opened the soda, took a sip and placed it on the table, lazily leaning back on the sofa and playing with her phone.
Not long after, the same waiter came over with a c.o.c.ktail in his hand and set it on Ling Tianya’s table, “Miss, this is one of our new c.o.c.ktails, we’re offering it to the guests to try it for free.”
Still looking at her phone, Ling Tianya answered casually, “Well, thank you, you can put it there.”
The waiter put down the c.o.c.ktail but didn’t leave immediately. He continued to stand there. “Miss, please try it now and give us your opinion on the drink.”
Ling Tianya looked up at the waiter. His posture was saying that he would not leave until Ling Tianya drank the thing.
“Do not accept drinks from other men.”
Suddenly, the face of Ruan Zeyan came to Ling Tianya’s mind with the expression he had when he stared at her and said those words.
