By the time w.a.n.g Yong arrived next to Zhi Ruo, he had a pretty good idea of what was happening and it definitely pleased him. w.a.n.g Yong wore a simple pair of black trousers and a white s.h.i.+rt. Cla.s.sy and elegant, a n.o.ble atmosphere settling near him.
Zhi Ruo looked at w.a.n.g Yong a bit hesitatingly before braving herself and hugging w.a.n.g Yong, her small stature against his tall built was pretty cute to see, " w.a.n.g Yong, did you come to pick me up? "
Zhi Ruo asked in a happy voice.
" Hmm. " w.a.n.g Yong was now certain of the situation and acted accordingly. One hand circled her waist while the other gently patted her head that stuck to his chest.
Lin Xia"s hand covered her mouth, " OMG, president and M. w.a.n.g are really dating! It"s official! " while Mr. Bradford backed off, feeling a bit awkward that she really did have a handsome boyfriend.
Zhi Ruo separated herself and turned to Bradford, with w.a.n.g Yong"s previous action, it was kind of a confirmation that w.a.n.g Yong would play along with her.
" Mr. Bradford, this is my amazing boyfriend I mentioned earlier. " Zhi Ruo calmly presented.
" w.a.n.g Yong, this is Mr. Bradford, we just had a meeting about an upcoming collaboration. Earlier, we talked about you, he seemed to be very interested. " Zhi Ruo smiled and tried to communicate the information with her eyes.
" Please help me. " her puppy eyes seemed to convey. w.a.n.g Yong wanted to laugh at her cute action but restrained himself and happily went along.
He held Zhi Ruo"s little hand with one and shook Bradford"s hand with the other.
" Nice to meet you, Mr. Bradford. " w.a.n.g Yong gave a gentleman smile and confidently shook his hand.
" Nice to meet you too Mr. w.a.n.g. " Bradford awkwardly received the greeting. The way Zhi Ruo said the information was like a right giveaway that he tried to make advances on her.
" It"s getting late, so I will bring Zhi Ruo back first so she can have a good rest. " w.a.n.g Yong said.
" No problem, I hope Miss Zhi rest well. " Bradford just wanted to get away from this situation, he had a strange feeling that w.a.n.g Yong was giving him a death glare from above.
Zhi Ruo gave w.a.n.g Yong a thumbs up for his adaptability skills and also nodded, " We will be taking our leave first then. Goodbye. "
" Have a nice evening, Mr. Bradford. " w.a.n.g Yong added before walking away with his little Zhi Ruo to his car.
Lin Xia also quickly said her goodbyes to Bradford before following them to the car.
" Lin Xia, you can go back first with the car, I will follow w.a.n.g Yong. " Zhi Ruo instructed mindfully. It would be weird if they were in a relations.h.i.+p and were seen leaving in two different cars.
" Okay. Good night president. See you tomorrow morning. " Lin Xia respectfully bowed before entering the car and leaving first.
w.a.n.g Yong politely opened the car and they both got in the back seats.
" As I helped you tonight, can I borrow some of your time? It won"t take long. " w.a.n.g Yong smiled.
" No problem. " Zhi Ruo nodded.
w.a.n.g Yong gave an address to the driver and they departed.
" Thank you for going along with the act, you really came at the right moment. " Zhi Ruo promptly thanked him.
" It was nothing, I was happy to be of help to you. " w.a.n.g Yong answered.
" He was being a bit pushy so I had to come up with an excuse. " Zhi Ruo explained.
In fact, with her position, she could have easily left the restaurant and just never collaborate with him but Zhi Ruo was still a bit uncomfortable abusing the previous"s host power.
" If next time something like that happens again, feel free to use me again. " w.a.n.g Yong proposed, not feeling uncomfortable at all. Of course, it would be good if no annoying bugs came to her but at the same time, it would give him a good excuse to flirt with her.
Zhi Ruo awkwardly laughed, " Then I will thank you in advance... "
After a while, they finally arrived and the driver parked the car on the sideways. w.a.n.g Yong told him to wait there for a few minutes, they would be back in less than half an hour.
" Can you close your eyes? " w.a.n.g Yong asked as soon as they got off.
" Why? " Zhi Ruo questioned.
" You"ll see. " w.a.n.g Yong laughed.
" I won"t be able to walk. " Zhi Ruo pointed out.
" It"s fine, I"ll hold you, I don"t mind. " w.a.n.g Yong promptly said.
" That"s a bit... " Zhi Ruo was a bit skeptical.
" Trust me, it"s worth it. " w.a.n.g Yong rea.s.sured while smiling.
" Okay... " Zhi Ruo replied before being lift off the ground and being held in a princess carry.
She put her hands around w.a.n.g Yong"s neck and tightly stuck to him, " Thank you... "
" Don"t worry, it"s just a five-minute walk. " w.a.n.g Yong said before telling her to close her eyes.
Zhi Ruo closed her eyelids and could only see black. Consequently, her other senses heightened and she heard the sounds of the busy night city. She rested her head on w.a.n.g Yong"s chest and after a while of concentration, she was able to hear his calm heartbeat. It was beating strongly and steadily, giving off a rea.s.suring feeling.
Zhi Ruo smiled at the thought of w.a.n.g Yong"s strong arms wrapped around her, " d.a.m.n it, I think I am falling harder... "
Despite the buzzing noise all around them, Zhi Ruo felt extremely comfortable and let herself be lulled to relax by the steady movements of his footsteps and his steady heartbeat.
w.a.n.g Yong looked down at the cute curled up kitten in his arms and couldn"t help but feel his heart soften, how was it possible for a human to be so lovable...
Meanwhile, the pa.s.serby walking by them and watching the romantic scene couldn"t help but sigh at the dog food, " Just go back home already! Stop doing *PDA! ಠ╭╮ಠ "
* PDA: public display of affection
