Outside the guest room number 6088, a woman wearing a rose-colored strapless gown stood with a look of nervousness.
She took a deep breath and knocked on the room door.
After she knocked two times, no one responded. She was a little dejected but was indignant too.
She continued to knock for the third time and the room door was pulled open from inside.
The man who opened the door did not see clearly who was standing outside the door and said with a cold tone, “Don’t you have the room card?”
Xue Ling was frightened by his displeased voice, but as she thought about her purpose for coming here, she calmed herself down.
The man had just come out from the bathroom, and a towel was wrapped around him while his hair was dripping with water.
Her face immediately flushed red as she stuttered, “President… President Ji, I’m called Xue Ling. I am here to…”
When he heard the foreign woman’s voice, Ji Jinchuan stopped his footsteps to the inner room and turned back to look at the person outside the door before furrowing his brows. “Why are you here?”
Xue Ling winced under his sharp gaze and lowered her eyes. She dared not meet his gaze while her two hands tugged at her gown at the side.
“President Ji, I am here to apologize to you.”
Ji Jinchuan’s gaze was cold and calm with no movements, and one could not see his real emotions either.
“You have already apologized. You can leave now.”
He walked over and took a towel to dry his wet hair.
Xue Ling froze but did not leave. Instead, she lifted her eyes up and secretly sized him up.
His back was facing the door and Xue Ling could see his naked back. Her heart started to beat faster.
She bravely walked into the room. She was wearing a long dress with a girdle, and the dress spread out around her legs. It hugged her slender waist and made her figure look exquisite.
“President Ji, my father is Xue Jie. I…”
“Why haven’t you left?” Ji Jinchuan cut off her words in displeasure.
Xue Ling hesitated for a moment before humbly giving a bow to him with a sincere attitude. “President Ji, I’m really sorry for today. I will take your clothes and dry-clean them as a form of apology. May I do that?”
Ji Jinchuan ignored her words and she waited at the entrance for a while. After hesitating for a moment, she left.
“Ding” The lift doors opened. Shen Youran was startled to see Xue Ling, who stood outside the lift.
Her eyes were slightly red as though she suffered a large grievance.
She recalled her as the woman who spilled the champagne on Ji Jinchuan’s clothes. Out of politeness, she smiled at her and walked out of the lift.
She had just walked two steps when Xue Ling called her. “Ms. Shen.”
She turned back and looked at Xue Ling in curiosity. She did not know Xue Ling and was even clueless about which family she belonged to. “Is something the matter?”
Xue Ling glanced at the bag in her hands and could tell that there were male clothes inside it from the opening of the bag.
“Is Ms. Shen delivering clothes to President Ji?”
She gave an honest nod, and Xue Ling stepped forward to grab her hand, which was lowered at her side, before eagerly looking at her.
She did not understand the other woman’s actions and blinked her eyes. She did not like physical contact with strangers, including those who were female.
She unhesitantly took her hands off her grip. “Miss, if you have anything to say, then do tell me. I’m not in a hurry to leave.”
Xue Ling’s face looked a little embarrassed, but it was only for a few seconds. Soon, a smile was seen on her face.
“Ms. Shen, I’m Xue Ling. My dad is Xue Jie from Xue Construction Company.”
Shen Youran did not say anything and waited for her to continue speaking.
Xue Ling thought that Shen Youran would ask her if she had any business here, but even after Xue Ling had been waiting for a minute, Shen Youran still did not seem like she’d initiate the conversation. Xue Ling was a little embarrassed.
