Xiao Hua stared at Yu Dong and Gu Ke Jin for a very long time, at least until Yu Dong walked inside her office and only then did he get up from his chair and said to Gu Ke Jin, " Aren't you sticking a little too much to Yu Dong?" He never thought that he will feel this upset over another woman approaching Yu Dong but apparently, he did and he did not just feel upset, he felt raging upset. Like the one where he wanted to stomp on Gu Ke Jin like she was a door mat.
" What do you mean by that?" said Gu Ke Jin as she raised her head from the account books that she has just shown to Yu Dong and narrowed her eyes at Xiao Hua. " And it will be better if you don't speak to me at the moment, you were the one who said that you wanted to have an affair with me and you were also the one who dragged me along trying to kiss me but when Miss Dong asked what was going on you were the first one to run away with your tail stuck between your legs, do you take me as your toy?"
" Are you really upset about that?" asked Xiao Hua sounding incredulous, he wanted to say that he was much more upset with her because she let Yu Dong pat her hair and even got to hear praises from Yu Dong but he managed to shut himself off on time and just raised his head before he rolled his eyes. " If you are that upset about it, then you can try kissing me too, I won't say a thing to you!"
"It's final, looks like you have really lost your mind," said Gu Ke Jin as she kicked Xiao Hua in the shin causing the latter to shriek in pain. " I knew you were crazy but I never thought that you were this crazy, like are you in the right state of your mind? I mean are you even listening to what you are saying huh ?"
Xiao Hua pursed his lips and then acting as nonchalant as possible asked, " Let's forget about this, is there any job for me? I mean I am also the co-owner of this shop, you can tell me if you want me to do something——"
" I am glad that you asked," said Gu Ke Jin looking relieved as she raised her head to look at Xiao Hua and said, " I was beginning to think you will never ask! Xiao Hua, I have just the job you can do, are you willing to help me out?"
" Of course, I am!" said Xiao Hua at once, he was more than excited to do it because if he did a good job then he too will be praised by Yu Dong for doing something more than just looking pretty!
" Then can you shut up and like sit somewhere far from me?" said Gu Ke Jin with a polite smile as she blinked her eyes at Xiao Hua 'cutely'. " You being here is really a lot more annoying than I thought it is."
" You little freak!" Xiao Hua was daydreaming about getting praised by Yu Dong and maybe something more, was so upset that he raised his feet to kick Gu Ke Jin in the shin as well when there was a slight knock on the table and an elegant voice came from behind. " Umm, I can see that it's not a good time for you two but I am here to meet Yu Dong, I suppose she must have told you that Lady Song has arranged our meeting today?"
Xiao Hua turned to look at who the speaker was and then felt his jaw drop...why was this person here?
The same thing was running through Yu Dong's head as soon as she realised who was the owner of the house on the Main Street of the town. She rubbed her temple but the throbbing headache that was thumping in her head like a loud drum didn't ease in the slightest causing Yu Dong to inwardly scold Song Yixu.
Would it have been too much if she would have just told her who was the owner of the house instead of hiding it from her for so long, if she had known then at least she would have prepared herself, according to the situation.
" Miss Yu, is everything okay?" asked Jiang Fenhua as he calmly sipped on his strawberry milk and looked at Yu Dong who seemed to be in deep thought. " Has my arrival upset you in any way? If so I can leave."
" No, it's not that," said Yu Dong as she raised her hand and stopped Jiang Fenhua from leaving. " I am just surprised that you came here Master Jiang, it's nothing else... I was expecting anyone but you and that's why I am a bit in shock."
There was no way she was going to say that she was afraid of the trouble that Qiao Sha might bring to her door but she was also a businesswoman and though she and Qiao Sha knew each other, it could not be counted as them being friends. At most, they have met three to five times and every time it was a formal occasion, so at least she wouldn't have to hear a drunk ' You are supposed to be my friend' lecture.
Though Yu Dong didn't say anything, Jiang Fenhua understood what was going on in her head as he smiled and said, " You don't have to worry about Lady Qiao, she might dislike me but she is not the Marchioness for nothing. She is smart enough to keep business and personal life separate from each other."
"That's not what I saw in the restaurant," Yu Dong blurted about before she could even stop herself.
But luckily, Jiang Fenhua wasn't offended as he said, " It was nothing actually, she wasn't upset that I went to eat in the restaurant that her friend owns, she was upset because Lady Song allowed me in when she was there," he placed his cup that was exquisitely made to hold a milkshake down and added with a self-mocking smile, " Lady Qiao is a bit too suspicious, she thought that I was stalking her, so she made a fuss nothing more."
