Zhong Ruanxing heard her heart thump loudly twice in the quiet, leisurely corridor, standing out clearly.0
But before she could savor the feeling, Song JinXing had already walked over and taken her luggage from her. "Where's Fu Ling?"0
"I told him to wait for me in the lobby."0
Zhong Ruanxing took the breakfast, gave it a sniff, and took a sip of the soy milk. Sweetly, she said, "Where did you get this so early?"0
Song JinXing said, "I had the hotel prepare it in advance."0
At a five-star hotel, they can do anything if you can think of it. Zhong Ruanxing smelled the fragrant pan-fried buns and felt her earlier drowsiness dissipate. She followed Song JinXing into the elevator and turned her head to look at him, "Aren't you tired?"0
"I'm alright." He placed the luggage at his feet and took a card out of his pocket, handing it to her.0
Zhong Ruanxing looked it over and felt this card looked a bit like the legendary black card she'd heard about.0
Whoa! The elusive black card! What's this for?!0
She shot Song JinXing a confused look. He said in a low voice, "Use this card for any socializing expenses in the future."0
Last night, he had seen the exquisitely packaged gift bags in her room, clearly meant to be given to others. Given her current status, the recipients couldn't be her own family or friends, only people from the Song family.0
She had spent quite a bit of money on gifts for the Song family these last few times, but she hadn't thought much of it or expected anything from him. She didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.0
With this black card, visiting her grandparents would be much more affordable. So she accepted it readily, "Then I'll take it, thanks!"0
He smiled and nodded.0
The elevator arrived on the first floor. Fu Ling was already waiting at the elevator entrance. Seeing the two of them emerge together, he was stunned for a moment before a delighted look filled his eyes. But with the boss present, he remained composed, "Ms. Zhong, good morning!"0
Song JinXing felt this assistant was looking at him more and more strangely.0
The car had stopped outside the hotel's revolving door. Zhong Ruanxing halted and said, "You should go back and rest."0
Song JinXing shook his head. "I'll take you to the airport."0
Zhong Ruanxing laughed softly, lowering her voice, "I'm not a little girl anymore. It'd be more dangerous for you to see me off and then return alone."0
Song JinXing wanted to say more, but she suddenly leaned in and hugged him.0
It was a very light, fleeting embrace, like a breeze gently stirring the petals of a budding flower, pulling away as soon as it made contact. But it was still enough to leave Song JinXing frozen in place. Smiling radiantly, she said, "Alright, bye!"0
Song JinXing's expression was blank, standing motionless like a mountain, but a storm raged within as he stiffly nodded slightly.0
Until Zhong Ruanxing got into the car and could see him through the window, still standing in place, watching her direction. Zhong Ruanxing lowered the car window and waved at him.0
Song JinXing also raised his hand and waved.0
The car gradually drove away in the mist, and she looked down at her arm, muttering to herself that the hug had felt quite nice.0
