Standing at the hotel entrance, Lu Tianxing straightened his clothes and slightly curled the corners of his mouth into what he thought of as a sunny smile. He stepped toward the woman, gently tapped her shoulder, and asked, "Hello, are you Miss Lin from Lin Group?"
On the phone, although Lu Tianxing had spoken with this woman and had asked for her name, she had only told him her surname was Lin.
"Indeed, I am. May I ask who you are..."
The woman’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she turned around, about to ask Lu Tianxing who he was, but she froze in an instant. Her captivating eyes filled with disbelief, mixed with a touch of surprise and incredulity, her tender cherry lips parted and she stared dumbfoundedly at Lu Tianxing.
"My dear Ya Fei, sweetheart, who would have thought we’d meet again?"
When Lu Tianxing saw the woman’s face, he too was startled, his face showing utter astonishment. How could he have expected that Lin Yafei, a woman he had shared a fleeting encounter with, would turn out to be the representative sent by the Lin Group for negotiations?
Ever since she had left last time, she had never contacted him again. He had thought he might indeed need to employ some tactics to find this girl, but he never imagined that she would appear before him again, and as the representative for Lin Group, no less.
It’s no wonder he had found her voice familiar over the phone; he just hadn’t thought in that direction.
Lin Yafei, stunned, gazed at Lu Tianxing, looking at the man who had taken the most precious part of her life. She felt a strange emotion stirring within her.
After they had parted ways before, Lin Yafei thought this man would just be a passerby in her life, and that they might never meet again. She believed she would be able to let go of him completely and start a new life.
But now, face to face with him again, Lin Yafei suddenly found her previous mental consolations gone without a trace, wishing she could throw herself into his arms and hug him tightly, telling him how much she missed him.
"My hero, here we meet again."
Lin Yafei calmed her thoughts, looked at the man before her with a tipsy, shallow smile, elegantly stood up, walked over to Lu Tianxing, and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, flirtatiously saying, "My hero, do you remember our promise? If we ever met again, I would have your child. What do you think, should we consider that proposal?"
Lu Tianxing’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a faint fragrance waft towards him, a flame kindled in his Dantian, so much so that he hastily controlled the fire in his Dantian. This woman was definitely a siren, the kind who could devour a man whole.
This woman was different from Shen Manjun; Shen Manjun was dignified and luxurious. Her allure and temptation wasn’t intentional; it was just a by-product of her appearance. Lin Yafei, however, seemed to naturally exude a seductive quality that made one’s heart race and face flush with every move she made.
Seeing Lu Tianxing’s expression, Lin Yafei chuckled, suddenly withdrew her hand, pointed to a seat nearby, and said, "I’m just kidding. It wouldn’t look good if your wife saw us. Please, have a seat!"
Lu Tianxing gave a bitter smile and shook his head, indeed, this enchantress was fatally alluring. Suppressing the turmoil inside him, he asked, "How have you been lately? I hope your father hasn’t pressured you into marriage again."
"Thanks to you, because of what you said, my father sent someone to Beijing to investigate, and my marriage was called off. Now, I am a free woman."
Lin Yafei elegantly gathered her hair, rested her arm on the table, and looked down on Lu Tianxing from above, licked her lips, and smiled, "My hero, you’ve helped me so much, shouldn’t I thank you somehow?"
Lu Tianxing’s heart raced. This woman was truly too tempting; every word and move she made stirred in him the impulse to transgress, especially when Lin Yafei leaned over the table with her waist bent, he just had to lift his head slightly to see a deep ravine presented before his eyes.
"Cough cough, no thanks are needed, just doing my Lei Feng bit! I always do good deeds without expecting anything in return."
Lu Tianxing coughed twice, somewhat unsure of what Lin Yafei intended to do.
Lu Tianxing felt a bit chilled to the bone now. Bai Zhiqing had given him a mindless task of making contact with a representative from the Lin Group, who turned out to be Lin Yafei, a seductress who could devour a man without spitting out his bones. If it were any other man, he would probably be hopelessly enchanted by now.
"Could it be that Bai Zhiqing deliberately chose this seductress to tempt me?"
Suddenly, Lu Tianxing felt even more terrified, his eyes cautiously scanning around, standing perfectly still, ready to respond to any changes without any change.
"Giggle, my hero, what’s wrong? I remember that night, you weren’t so timid. Are you afraid I’ll devour you, or are you afraid your wife will find out and divorce you?"
Lin Yafei giggled, then called over a waiter without saying anything further: "Get me a Blue Mountain coffee. What would you like to drink?"
"I don’t like coffee, get me a cup of Biluochun tea."
The waiter beside them was stunned, looking at Lu Tianxing in astonishment, having never seen someone come to a café to order tea before.
Lin Yafei covered her mouth and snickered, telling the waiter, "Do as he said, get him a cup of Biluochun tea. If you don’t have it, go buy some. Money is not a problem."
"Yes, Miss Lin, please wait a moment."
The waiter did not hesitate, nodded immediately, acknowledging that the guests of a five-star hotel were either rich or noble—a category of people they as service staff could not afford to offend. Moreover, there was a tea shop not far away, so there was no need to offend someone influential over a trivial matter.
"So, you didn’t expect it to be me?" Lin Yafei said with a smile.
"Indeed, I did not expect it."
Lu Tianxing nodded. He truly had not expected that Lin Group’s representative for the negotiations would be Lin Yafei. This was far beyond his expectations, and he had not anticipated that their encounter would happen at this time.
"By the way, how come you are collaborating with Bai’s Group? You are with Lin Group as...?" Lu Tianxing’s eyes flickered with curiosity.
"Chairman Bai and I were college classmates, and we were quite close friends, even staying in the same dorm at school. As for what my role is at Lin Group, my surname is Lin, so what do you think my role could be?" Lin Yafei smiled as she looked at Lu Tianxing.
