The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 148

After sharing their meals together, both Long Fei and Su Ruan went back to their respective room.

Knowing that Su Ruan was still trying to get used to having him around, Long Fei decided not to disturb her.

Once he was seated behind the desk, Long Fei turned on his computer and began to busy himself with work. On his table, there were a few documents that Fu Xing had delivered to him a while ago.

As Su Ruan was planning to meet her former editor the next morning, Long Fei decided to go to the office and called the directors and managers for a meeting.

Long Fei was in the middle of looking at a few financial documents when someone knocked on his door.

Habitually, he only raised his head and did not say a word.

Usually, when Long Yu Heng came to find him, he will knock on his door and entered. As his right-hand man, Long Yu Heng had these privileges.

However, after waiting for a while, the other person did not come in.

His brow furrowed. “Come in.” His deep voice reverberated in the room.

After a while, the door opened to a small gap. The person he was expected to see did not show up. Instead, Su Ruan’s face popped up between the gap.

The girl blinked her eyes and smiled. “Is it alright for me to come in?”

“Su Ruan?” Long Fei finally snapped out of his thought. “Why are you here?”

This was the first time that a woman had appeared in front of his door. Suddenly, he was at loss at what he should do.

He was too preoccupied with work that he had forgotten that the two of them were in the same suite. He stood up abruptly and looked at her expectantly.

Su Ruan noticed the documents on his table and flashed an awkward smile. “Is this a bad time?”

“No. It’s fine.” Long Fei cleared his throat. “Come in.”

Su Ruan stepped into the room and noticed that his room was bigger than hers. Looking at the computer set up in the room, Su Ruan was convinced that this suite has always been reserved for him.

Long Fei continued to keep his eyes on Su Ruan. It was rare to see him looking for him and Long Fei was anticipating to hear what she wanted to tell him.

Su Ruan glanced at her wristwatch and spoke. “It’s almost time for dinner. I was wondering if you would like to go out together.” She let out a cough and continued. “After all, I did say that I will treat you to a meal.”

“Didn’t you already make plans with your friends?”

Long Fei could still remember that Yu Zhi Yi had invited Su Ruan out for dinner. However, Su Ruan had declined his invitation and said that she had already made plans with her friends.

Seeing that Su Ruan was staring at him with a puzzled look, Long Fei decided to explain, “I heard you tell your friend, Mr. Yu that you already make a plan earlier.”

Su Ruan laughed. “Mmm… It’s true that I have already had a plan. But I was thinking of going out to have dinner with you. After all, I have promised.”

“You don’t have to be in a rush to treat me to a meal.”

“I know. But I already have this plan in mind before we make a plan to go on a date later.” Su Ruan flashed him a smile. “But if you are busy with work…”

“No. I’m not.” Long Fei saw the way Su Ruan was peeking at his study and quickly explained. “I was just looking at the documents to pass time.”

“Then, should we go out?” Su Ruan tilted her head to one side. “I already make my research and found a few good restaurants to eat.”

Long Fei chuckled. “Well then, let me go and get ready first.”

Her eyes lit up. “Then, I’ll go and meet you in the living room in ten minutes?” She too needed to get ready and change her clothes.

Long Fei watched as Su Ruan walked out of the room and smiled. Her steps seem light and she seemed very happy that he had agreed. Long Fei could not help but think that the look on her face was really adorable.

He quickly snapped out of his thought and turned to look at the clothes in his wardrobe.

A deep frown appeared on his face. It seemed that other than some suits, he really did not have any proper clothes. It seemed that it was time for him to rearrange his wardrobe.

Previously, having these type of clothes were very convenient for him as he was often at work. But later, it would not be convenient. Later, if he wanted to go on a date, he cannot wear a suit all the time, right?

Long Fei had thought that it would take him a few minutes to get ready. However, because he was busy looking for proper clothes to wear, he ended up coming to the living room a little later than Su Ruan. Noticing the way Su Ruan was giving him a look over made him a little embarrassed.

“Where are we going to eat? Do we need to call for a car? I can call my assistant.”

Su Ruan held her bag tightly and spoke, “Mmm… You don’t have to worry about it. I have already made my arrangement. Mr. Long, you only have to come with me.”

“Then, I will follow your arrangement.”

Su Ruan turned around and suddenly remember that she did not ask him the important matter. “Right. I forgot to ask. Will you be alright with anything? You don’t have any allergies, right?”

“No. As for my preferences, I’m fine with anything.”

The two of them headed out and entered the taxi that Su Ruan had called for earlier.

It was rare for Long Fei to ride a taxi but seeing the person beside him made him smile.. The two of them might still be awkward around each other but Long Fei really appreciated that she had taken the initiative to go out with him.
