The atmosphere in the room thickened and settled as Ling Tianya left. The two men did not talk. They fixated on the red wine in their stiletto gla.s.ses, and the wine in the decanter was easily finished between the two of them.
Ruan Zeyan called for the staff, ordering yet another bottle of red wine. The wait staff had only then noticed that it was Gu Zhiqian in the room. Working at Ming Xuan, it was not uncommon to see famous people. It was just... didn’t the internet say that Gu Zhiqian was handling the sponsors.h.i.+p issue in Hong Kong? The internet was absolutely exploding over that, and yet Gu Zhiqian was there, just casually sipping on some wine? The wait staff remembers that it was a lady with Gu Zhiqian in the room earlier on, what happened...
The worker looked over to Ruan Zeyan, the man’s aura certainly was scary, and she didn’t dare take another glance. She carefully poured the wine into the decanter before getting out of there.
Funnily, Gu Zhiqian didn’t have the patience to wait for the wine to breathe, and immediately poured another cup for himself. He lackadaisically asked, “Were you having your meal here as well? What a coincidence.”
“It is.” Ruan Zeyan lightly answered, Ling Tianya’s fragrance seemingly ticking at the tip of his nose.
Moments later, Gu Zhiqian put down his cup, “Zeyan, I’ve asked you before, what do you think about Ling Tianya?”
“And?”
Ruan Zeyan was still indifferent, without a care in the world, but Gu Zhiqian furrowed his brows, “After so many years, I’ve never touched a single woman that has any sort of relations.h.i.+p with you. So, back when I asked you, you told me that you had nothing to do with Ling Tianya.”
Ruan Zeyan turned to look at Gu Zhiqian, mockery hidden within his eyes, “Like I said before, you’re not suited to be with her.”
“Suited or not, that’s not up to you.” Gu Zhiqian took a look at the time, downing the rest of the wine in his cup smoothly. “Did you know, I had wanted to just play around with Ling Tianya, but it’s different now. I seem to have caught feelings.” Gu Zhiqian stood at that, “It’s time for me to go back to Hong Kong, goodbye friend, let’s get together again when I’m back.”
Ruan Zeyan took a long, long time to come out of Ming Xuan after Gu Zhiqian left.
The smell of alcohol permeated the car, Ruan Zeyan shut his eyes, leaning back on the seat.
Du Gang was driving while holding his breath, he could see that his boss had drunk a lot.
Not too long later, Ruan Zeyan’s sharp voice could be heard, “The kid’s inflated, he’s long due a lesson.”
“Kid?” Du Gang was stunned, before catching on that the kid Ruan Zeyan meant was Gu Zhiqian.
Ruan Zeyan opened his eyes, watching the exquisite view outside, “Go back.”
“Boss, to where?” Du Gang asked as he made a U-turn, the car was en route to the Ruan mansion, but suddenly Ruan Zeyan said to turn back. He didn’t know where Ruan Zeyan wanted to go.
“Silver Pond Condominium.”
Hearing the three words, Du Gang sucked in a surprised breath, “Isn’t that where Miss Ling is staying?”
Ling Tianya had just finished her bath and was wearing comfortable home clothes. Her hair was still wet, and her bare face showed her fatigue clearly. She had wanted to sleep right after her shower, but unknowingly she ended up in front of her computer.
Her phone dinged once, it was a message from Ling Yuqing.
“Sis, your script’s written really well, I didn’t know that you were so amazing!”
Ling Tianya snickered as she turned off the screen, not about to pay any attention to Ling Yuqing’s ingenuine bootlicking.
Her home’s doorbell rang at that time. Ever since Ruan Zeyan had invaded her home, she had added a security camera to her doorbell.
Surprisingly, it was exactly Ruan Zeyan at her door.
Ling Tianya stood stupefied, not knowing how to proceed forward.
“Are you going to open the door, or should I do it?”
The man’s voice entered Ling Tianya’s ear as though satan’s command. The tone was calm, but it sent chills all the way down her spine.
Her hand reached out to open the door, as though someone was controlling her...
