She could not deny he was a looker. His brows and eyes had similarity to the CEO’s.
“Ms Lin, you don’t have to be so formal. Just call me by my name.”
Xiang Jinxi gently titled his head as his jet black eyes looked at her. While his voice was gentle, there was not a smile on his face.
“It’s better if I’m a little more formal. We barely know each other after all.” The moment she sat down, he handed her a menu.
She took it and reluctantly ordered a few dishes. With a glass of juice in hand, she did not even look at him and only hoped that time passed quickly for her to get out as soon as she had ate.
“Nervous?” His clear voice came from the opposite site.
“Ugh, I’m fine.”
She was nervous and he was direct as hell, not giving her any face.
“The daughter of the Lin’s, she’s pretty well brought up.”
“….”
Lin Yazhi felt sudden danger. What did he mean? Did Huo Li’s bloody mouth jinxed her?!
She forced out a smile and slowly looked over, “Mr Xiang, I heard that you are very close with Qiu Jin, and that probably means that something good will happen soon. You were probably forced to meet me as well, so lets just have our meal and call it a day, alright?”
“Me and her, something good will happen? Where did you hear that from?” How did he not know about this.
Lin Yazhi waved dismissively, and continued, “That’s not important, the point is I cannot be holding you back, I’m a grumpy, lazy, star-struck fujoshi. I have a boatload of weak points, uncountable even, for such a perfect CEO like you, Mr Xiang, a woman like me is not suitable for you…”
Xiang Jinxi imperceptibly smirked, “You do sound like you have plenty of weak points, but it’s not like you’re without any good points, like you’re pretty chatty.”
“…” Lin Yazhi despaired, she was at a lost for words if that could be taken as a good point.
The waiter had by then served the meals and she decided to simply just eat.
Xiang Jinxi was a man of few words and seeing her keeping silent, he started eating as well.
The whole process was silent and for Lin Yazhi, this was torture.
“Ms Lin, do you have any objections with this meeting today?”
Xiang Jinxi suddenly asked as he noticed her looking at him.
She was taken aback and immediately shook her head. “No.”
“Ms Lin, I’d prefer if you could be more forthright with me, it makes it easier for me to adjust and improve as well.”
“Mr Xiang, we originally meant to just have a meal and go our own ways, we don’t have to understand each other that deeply.” She smiled as she put down the cutlery and took a gulp of the orange juice.
“I’ll pick you up after work.”
“PFFFTTTT…”
She quickly turn aside and spat it onto the carpet.
…Was she hearing things?
Xiang Jinxi courteously passed over a tissue. “Wipe it.”
His voice was calm yet there was an unmistakable vigor to it.
Lin Yazhi awkwardly took it and wiped herself, “What do you mean, Mr Xiang?”
“I have a pretty good impression of you and if you don’t have any objections, we can try to go out.”
His calm and cold face was without a smile, as his jet black eyes stared at her like the abyss.
“I already have a boyfriend…”
As things were getting out of hand, Lin Yazhi saw someone opening the door and stood up as she saw the person coming in with her expression slowly changing.
“Huo Li, why are you here?” She started to act like she did not know anything.
Huo Li glanced at Xiang Jinxi before taking a few big steps in, speaking to Lin Yazhi with a black face, “Even if we had a fight earlier, you don’t have to go on a blind date behind me. You really want to make a cuckold out of me?”
