After everyone ate, Lin Xia and Zhi Ruo left first as they had a busy schedule to commit to while the three others stayed behind.Lin Xia and Zhi Ruo arrived at the lobby and walked out of the hotel, " President, the driver and bodyguard should already be here. We have a meeting and a tour with the president of our technological branch in the US followed by a conference for a charity and a dinner with one of our most important investors in the US. In the afternoon, we have been invited to a hot celebrity birthday party and at night, you have an appointment with Mr. Bradford to talk about a future collaboration. "
Zhi Ruo had a headache as soon as she heard her schedule and nodded in acknowledgement.
She met her driver and her bodyguard before getting in the car and going through the remaining doc.u.ments she brought from China.
Zhi Ruo"s trip was going to be a long one...
Back at the hotel, w.a.n.g Yong forced Fei Long to give him one more session of therapy so that his memories would further recover and it may help him during the search of his memories and his friend.
After hypnotizing w.a.n.g Yong, Fei Long quickly left according to his wish and w.a.n.g Yong was left alone in his room.
The memories flooded in like big waves of information, his time abroad and in the military, all came back to him. His grandpa"s worried voice resonating all the time and his subordinate loudly answering him with respect in the eyes also sounded very familiar. The reasons why he had certain scars were revealed and he once more relived important memories of his life.
Following that session, w.a.n.g Yong didn"t feel like thinking about the past anymore and went out with Olivia and Fei Long to explore the surroundings of the hotel and to find a travelling agency.
At night, after her exhausting day, Zhi Ruo hoped that her dinner would at least be peaceful and that the other party would be easy to deal with but who would have known that she would come face to face with such a flirty man.
Mr. Bradford was in his mid-thirties with a small potbelly and a chubby face and he was desperately trying to flirt with Zhi Ruo who was even too tired to deal with him.
" I must say, you look absolutely exquisite Miss Zhi Ruo. " Mr. Bradford said with a smirk as he eyed her body.
" Hmm, thank you. " Zhi Ruo was too disgusted to even look at him and just focused on her food.
Lin Xia who was silently watching on the side was also disturbed by the way he looked at her boss.
" Hmph! I don"t need compliments from you...w.a.n.g Yong already told me I am beautiful every day... " Zhi Ruo harrumphed in her head.
" Miss Zhi Ruo, may I ask if you have a boyfriend? " Mr. Bradford bravely asked.
" I do. " Zhi Ruo answered without any hesitation. With this kind of man, it was better to cut off all chances right at the beginning.
" I see... he must be a very lucky man to date such a wonderful woman such as yourself. " Mr. Bradford commented.
" Hmm. " Zhi Ruo absently answered while thinking, " Would he feel lucky? "
" I mean... I would not say that I am the most incredible person on Earth but I am a pretty good catch if I must say so myself... I also think we would look good together... "
" Is he a good boyfriend? " Mr. Bradford continued to test the waters. From his previous knowledge, she had just broken off an engagement, how could she already have a boyfriend?
" Very good. " Zhi Ruo nodded and gently put down her utensils. She was losing appet.i.te seeing his preying eyes.
" Are you sure? You don"t sound very enthusiastic about him... Are you going through a rough patch? " Mr. Bradford saw an opportunity and immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed it.
" We are doing amazing, thank you for your concern. On another hand, I thought we were here to talk about a future collaboration with your company. " Zhi Ruo elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin and pouted in her mind, " We are doing great! We always cuddle and hold hands! Are you cursing us?! This idiot! Putting his nose in other people"s business. "
" Ah...right... " Mr. Bradford awkwardly answered before getting down to real business.
After half an hour, they had reached a meeting point and concluded that they would plan a later date to discuss in details about the contract.
Bradford insisted on escorting Zhi Ruo home and tried to glue himself to her when they came out of the restaurant.
Zhi Ruo was about to screech of disgust when a pleasant voice called out her name, " Ruoruo. "
Zhi Ruo"s head that hung low finally raised up and she looked at the source. Seeing w.a.n.g Yong"s handsome face washed out all the grievances she suffered during the day.
" w.a.n.g Yong. " Zhi Ruo"s calm voice called out, her eyes turning into crescents as she smiled.
w.a.n.g Yong was waiting outside the restaurant to wait for Zhi Ruo so they could go back home together. However, when he saw the annoying bug trying to stick to her, his eyes immediately turned to frost.
" Is he your boyfriend? " Mr. Bradford asked, a bit startled, " Did she really have a boyfriend? "
Zhi Ruo looked at w.a.n.g Yong and thought that it wouldn"t hurt to lie a bit, it was only going to turn into her favour. She also knew that w.a.n.g Yong wouldn"t mind helping her.
" Yeah, he is. " Zhi Ruo turned to the annoying fly and answered with a radiant smile, almost blinding Bradford and Lin Xia.
" Isn"t he so handsome? " w.a.n.g Yong heard her ask as he approached them.
