“Young master Yu, you are being so sweet this morning. Did you eat honey just now?”
“How did you know? I ate honey Erjiao dates just now. What about you? What do you want to eat?” Yu Zenan took the menu over from the waiter.
“I am fine with anything. I am not picky with my food.”
Hence, Yu Zenan helped her to order a few dishes. Xia Xingchen stopped him and chanted, “It’s too much! It’s too much!”
“It’s not considered a lot. You are so thin, you should eat more.”
“You have already ordered birds’ nests and matsutakes. It’s too expensive.”
“Expensive?”
Xia Xingchen pitied her wallet. “My two months’ salary might not even be enough to pay for this breakfast.”
Upon looking at her troubled face, Yu Zenan was so amused that he kept laughing.
“It’s only a few dishes and you felt sorry for yourself. What about that time when you said that you will treat me to a meal? Are you taking me for a ride?”
“I am not. I have already thought it through, I will cook for you.” There was nothing cheaper than that anymore.
“You know how to cook?”
“Of course. I am not like Young masters such as you where food is always served for you. However, I need to borrow a kitchen from my friend.”
“In that case, I shall be expectant of your delicious cooking.”
“It’s just some home-cooked dishes. You are not to complain.”
“I shall see about that after I eat your meal.”
Xia Xingchen clicked her tongue and suddenly recalled something important. “Oh right. You still have not told me who you are exactly. Why did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs listen to you so well?”
“It’s not exactly that. I only let my older brother make a call, that’s it.”
“Your older brother? Who is your older brother?”
Yu Zenan threw his wallet over to her and took a bite of his spaghetti while speaking in an unclear voice. “Do you know him?”
Xia Xingchen opened the wallet and there was a photo of two young men standing together. One was him, the other was…
He looked very familiar and it seemed as though she had seen him on television before.
“Isn’t this… the Deputy President, Yu Zeyao? Your older brother is the Deputy President?”
He nodded. Xia Xingchen mumbled, “No wonder they were so polite to me and even said that I was related to the President. I see.”
“I am more reliable than a normal secondary school teacher, right?” He tilted his head and came closer to her while smiling brightly. “I am a virgin. Single. Unmarried. How is this? Do you want to consider me?”
“Stop making fun of me anymore.” Xia Xingchen pushed his head away. “I still have not asked you why you came to the date when you were clearly not my original blind date?”
“Your original blind date is my best friend. He is sticking to his ex-wife as if he was glue and they could get together again anytime soon. He didn’t want to get into trouble and begged me to help him. But then again, you won’t lose out if you were to go on a blind date with me.”
“That’s right. If it wasn’t for you, perhaps I would still be finding other jobs now.”
Moreover, this Second Young master was also quite cute. Although he was not her real blind date, it was still good to make such a friend.
“Alright, quickly eat your breakfast. This costs a few months worth of your salary, don’t waste it.”
Yu Zenan caressed her hair.
…
When they were almost done with their meal, orderly footsteps could be heard. They looked up and saw a few men now standing outside the corridor. They were wearing an earpiece and seemed like part of the military.
“Are they yours?” asked Xia Xingchen.
Yu Zenan shook his head. “Only my older brother would have such a big scene. I didn’t hear that my older brother would be coming here today.”
The waiter quickly walked over and bent down to whisper a few words into Yu Zenan’s ear. Yu Zenan raised his eyebrows. “No wonder.”
He waited for the waiter to walk off before he wiped his mouth and tilted his head to whisper something to Xia Xingchen. “The President will be coming in a while.”
“Huh?” Xia Xingchen was taken by surprise.
“Come on, let’s go and play.”
Yu Zenan pulled her up. Xia Xingchen immediately said, “But I don’t know how to play.”
“I will teach you.”
…
They sat on an electromobile for a while and when they reached the court, Xia Xingchen kept looking around.
Did Bai Yeqing really come here?
“Your mind seems to be preoccupied. What are you looking at?” Ye Zenan asked someone to bring his personal golf club over and threw it over to Xia Xingchen. He cupped her face with his hand and shifted her gaze over. “Look at the ball. It doesn’t work if you look backward.”
“Oh.” Xia Xingchen accompanied him to have fun as a way to repay her gratitude.
It was just that she had swung the golf club a few times but her efforts were futile. She either missed hitting the golf ball or the ball went out of line. She was already so sad yet Yu Zenan kept gloating over her misfortune while drinking his beverage.
“If you continue laughing, I will not play it anymore.” Xia Xingchen glared at him.
At this moment…
Sounds made from an electromobile could be heard. Xia Xingchen followed where the sound came from and turned around, only to see ten cars slowly driving over. There were many bodyguards in the car.
Yu Zenan also looked from afar and then turned towards Xia Xingchen. He sipped on his beverage while walking over, he then placed his hand over her shoulder. “Are you shocked? Have you not seen the President before?”
“Of course, I have seen him before.”
“You have?”
Xia Xingchen hummed and nodded. “I saw him during an event at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
“Oh.” Yu Zenan pouted and sighed. “He’s a little taller than my older brother and maybe a little more handsome. In the end, he was chosen as the President and no matter how hard I think about it, I am still unhappy over the result.
“Tch…” Xia Xingchen disagreed and refuted, “Aren’t you being too superficial? What’s the use of being tall and handsome? If it isn’t because he is more talented than your older brother, would he be so welcomed and well-liked by everybody? Last month, he did the State-owned enterprise reformation. The other month, he had an economic regulation. Three months ago, he made peace with country M and…”
Xia Xingchen got more excited as she enumerated, as though she was counting the number of jewelry she had at home.
“Alright, stop for a second.” Yu Zenan cut her off and dug his ear. “I didn’t know that you adored the President so much.”
Adore?
Xia Xingchen could not help but recall the sentence. ‘Liking him would only make him feel burdened.’ She instinctively refuted, “I don’t adore him.”
“Your face shows it all!” Yu Zenan reached out and pointed at her forehead. “Don’t deny it.”
“You are so irritating.” She swatted his hand away.
Yu Zenan chuckled and put his beverage down. “Alright, enough about him. I am here to teach you how to golf.”
…
As Bai Yeqing alighted from the car, Leng Fei was already around to protect him. Mr. Mayn quickly followed behind and beside him was Xu Yan who was just transferred to the President’s office.
The staff led them towards the golf court.
Leng Fei had sharp eyes and immediately saw a familiar figure with a glance.
“Your excellency, that seems to be Miss Xia.” Leng Fei lowered his voice and whispered to him.
Bai Yeqing took a look from afar.
She was indeed here.
She was even playing golf with another man.
No! Accurately speaking, they were not playing golf, they were flirting!
The man hugged her from behind while his palms were placed on her hands. He held her hand and swung the gold club. Both of them were clearly very happy and she had a smile plastered on her face.
It only took one look to make him coldly furrow his eyebrows. He retracted his gaze with his face devoid of expression before turning around to chat with Mr. Mayn.
Xu Yan who was their translator also saw that scene and immediately went into a daze. It was not until Bai Yeqing’s sharp gaze looked past him that he quickly came back to his senses and forced himself to focus on his work.
