The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 135

After discussing with Long Fei for a while, Su Ruan agreed to head to Capital City together with Long Fei. The man offered to book the flight and let her stay at the same hotel as his.

Initially, Su Ruan was still reluctant to let Long Fei arrange everything for him. However, the man argued that he was now her boyfriend and Su Ruan had eventually agreed.

Thinking that the two of them would be heading to Capital City together made her a little excited. It gave her a feeling of going on a trip with her boyfriend. Su Ruan had never done anything like this before.

But once she thought about attending Yu Zhi Yi’s wedding, Su Ruan’s mood began to plummet again. She could not imagine how it was going to be if she was attending that wedding with Long Fei.

Would Long Fei know what her secret?

Fortunately, there will be some time before they would head to Capital City. Su Ruan decided to use this time to slowly prepare herself.

The two of them stayed at the teahouse for a while to chat and eat. Seeing that it was almost time to go back, Su Ruan texted her cousin and gathered her belonging.

“Su Ruan.”

Su Ruan stood up and was about to leave when she heard her name. She turned around and saw that the man was behind her. His eyes were staring back at her with his hot gaze. Her heartbeat accelerated as she wondered about what was about to happen next.

They were dating and she had prepared herself that there was going to be some intimacy between them.

“Tomorrow, I might be busy with work,” Long Fei said. “I might not be able to look at the phone. But, I will contact you again once I’m done.”

Su Ruan exhaled and quickly combed her hair with her fingers, trying to stay calm. She could not help but scold herself for having some strange thought earlier.

“I understand,” Su Ruan lowered her gaze. “You’re a busy person. Just text me when you are free.”

Long Fei chuckled when he looked at her expression. He did not know what was going on in her mind, but the expression on her face was too adorable.

“I should go now. My cousin should be waiting for me downstairs,” Su Ruan flashed an awkward smile.

She turned around again, but this time, she was stopped again when Long Fei had pulled her arms. Her body twirled until she was facing him. Before she figured out what was going on, the man’s lips fell on hers into a brief kiss.

Long Fei smiled when he pulled away. “Well, don’t forget to text me when you arrive home.”

Su Ruan stared at the man in a daze before she nodded. When she turned around, Su Ruan clenched her hand on her bag and made her escape.

Seeing the way Su Ruan was in a hurry to leave made him laugh. However, once the girl was no longer in his view, Long Fei’s expression began to change again.

Thinking about the elders’ plan for him tomorrow made his gaze turn darker.

….

Early in the morning, the people in Long’s residence were busy running around back and forth to prepare a small banquet.

It was said that they will be receiving an important guest from the city. Seeing that the elders were very enthusiastic to receive this guest, everyone in the house could only work hard to make sure that everything will be perfect.

Standing beside the window in his room, Long Fei was watching everyone’s movement. The corner of his lips tilted into a sneer as he watched his father and a few elders were discussing some matter.

Just outside his courtyard, a few men were standing on guard as per his father’s instruction.

His father had told him that this banquet was held to welcome their future business partner.  However, he was still sending a few of his men to guard him to prevent him from escaping.

It was just a blind date. Must the elders do this much to control him?

Long Fei could not help but think that this situation was a little funny.

A knock was heard coming from the door. Long Fei turned around and watched his cousin, Long Yu Heng entered his room with an anxious look on his face.

“Have you found out what I asked you to do?” Long Fei asked.

Long Yu Heng shut the door behind him and walked to the desk. He placed the document in his hand and spoke, “I heard from my father that the elders had invited the Chu family to join this banquet. The Chu family brought along their daughter, Chu Ying.”

As he listened to Long Yu Heng’s words, Long Fei took the documents on his table and read the information about his blind date.

The Chu family was a very reputable family in the business industry. They had a long history and had stable growth in the business world.

After the Old Master Chu passed away, Chu’s family’s business had deteriorated and Chu Ying’s father was working very hard to stabilize the business. However, it was not that easy as he had to face his siblings who were eyeing the top position in the company.

To strengthen his position in the company, Chu Ying’s father was planning to use his daughter’s marriage to get someone with powerful backing to support him.

It seemed that both the elders in his family and the Chu family were both planning to use each other.

The Chu family was not that good.

Long Fei’s eyes narrowed.

It was not that hard to guess the elders’ intention. The only reason they were willing to work with them was that they were hoping to control him through this marriage.

“Ah Fei, are you sure you wanted to attend this banquet?” Long Yu Heng asked when he notice that his cousin has been quiet for a long time.

Long Fei stared at the photograph of the blind date that Long Yu Heng had brought for him and chuckled.. “Of course, I should go. If I didn’t go, how will I enjoy the fun?”
