The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 152
Su Ruan followed him to the dining room and saw that there was already food on the table. She sat down and the butler came to pour her a cup of hot coffee.
“Eat.”
Picking up her cutlery, Su Ruan scabbed at the scrambled egg and took a bite.
Now that she was sitting across Long Fei for breakfast, Su Ruan could not help but felt a little awkward again. Having breakfast together first thing in the morning… gave off the feeling that they were living together, right?
As she recalled her conversation with her father earlier, Su Ruan started to bite at her fork with a dazed expression. She did not expect her father was worried about her relationship. She’s a girl and her father worry that her boyfriend would take advantage of her.
“What is it? The food is not to your palate? I can ask the butler to prepare something quick,” Long Fei spoke. He looked up and was about to call the butler to prepare something new when Su Ruan had stopped him.
“No. The food is fine.” Seeing the worry on his face, Su Ruan quickly made an excuse. “Just that, I was thinking about my appointment.”
His lips finally formed a smile. “Worry that you will not arrive in time?”
“My former editor wanted to introduce me to someone else. I worry whether I would be able to impress that person or not.”
Previously, Su Ruan had mentioned about her interview with this person that his former editor was going to introduce her to. “You will be fine,” Long Fei said. “Hurry and eat. I promise that I will send you there after this.”
Su Ruan was about to speak when she saw that Long Fei had lowered his head to look at his phone. Thinking that he was a busy man and was dealing with his work matter, Su Ruan lowered her head again and ate her breakfast.
The food that the butler had prepared was good. Su Ruan finished her breakfast and stood up at the same time as Long Fei. The man led her out until they arrived at the hotel’s entrance where a car was already waiting for them.
As they approached, Fu Xing alighted and greeted his boss. However, his gaze halted again when he saw the person beside Long Fei.
Fu Xing had thought that perhaps, he was still in the la la land.
It was a couple of months ago since the last time he had seen his boss and Su Ruan together. Now, the two of them had come out of the hotel together.
His boss who had never been in a relationship with another gender had actually come out of the hotel together. This was too unbelievable, right?
Their progress was too fast!
“Fu Xing, what are you doing?” Long Fei’s face darkened when he noticed that his assistant has been staring at his girlfriend.
The assistant snapped out of his trance and helped to open the door. “Miss Su, please come in.”
Su Ruan gave him a quick nod before she slid into the vehicle. She was aware of Fu Xing’s identity as Long Fei’s assistant. However, the last time she saw him in D Town, the two of them barely had any interaction. Now that she had seen him again, she did not know how she should address him.
As she was thinking about the assistant, Long Fei slid in and sat down beside her.
“Am I not going to delay you?” Su Ruan asked. “It was rush hour. There might be slight traffic.”
She recalled how he was dealing with a few documents while having breakfast and worried that he might be late to head to his office.
“Moreover, my meeting place is in the opposite direction of your office,” Su Ruan reminded him. “You might be wasting a lot of time because of me. I could grab a taxi and head over.”
“It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry.” Long Fei flashed her a smile. He raised the tablet in his hand and spoke, “Besides, I can use the time traveling to look at my documents. You won’t be delaying my work.”
Fu Xing had just entered the car when he heard his boss’s words.
Didn’t he summon the directors and managers for a meeting? What did he mean by he was not in a hurry? It couldn’t be that his boss was trying to impress a girl, right?
However, Fu Xing decided not to say anything. After all, this person was the president of the company. Even if he showed up a few hours late, no one was going to complain.
Noticing that Fu Xing was glancing at them through the rear mirror, Long Fei decided to speak, “Su Ruan, this is my assistant. Fu Xing.”
Su Ruan nodded at him through the mirror. “Hello, Assistant Fu. Sorry to trouble you early in the morning.”
“Miss Su, please be at ease. It’s no trouble at all.” Fu Xing waved his hands. He glanced at the couple on the back seat of the car and wondered what was their relationship at this time.
They were together, but they did not seem very affectionate. Could it be that he had misjudged things? Or was it that his boss was still wooing the girl?
Fu Xing thought that this idea seemed possible. After all, his boss had never been in a relationship before. How can he woo someone that fast?
Fortunately for Fu Xing, his boss was unaware of his thought. Otherwise, he might get himself in trouble.
“Mmm… Su Ruan, later, I will give you my assistant number,” Long Fei said. “If you can’t reach me, you can always call my assistant. Just call whenever you need anything.”
“Alright.” Su Ruan nodded. After she had reported the address, Fu Xing started to concentrate on his driving. Su Ruan glanced at the person beside her and noticed that he was reading some report on his tablet.
A faint sigh escaped her as she wondered if the man was not being truthful about being busy.
He was the President of Blue Media Group after all. Now that he had come to Capital City, he should have had a lot of work to do. But he still wanted to send her over to her meeting place.
Her lips curled up as she thought about this.
