The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 156

Worried that the editor was going to think too much after meeting the person she was dating, Su Ruan went to settle for the bills and headed out to wait for the man outside the café.

She had thought that it would take Long Fei a while before he would arrive and this meeting would be avoided. However, just as they walked out of the cafe, they ran into Long Fei who was on his way to find Su Ruan.

Long Fei recognized his girlfriend from a distance and stopped on his track. “Su Ruan?”

Hearing the voice, both women turned their heads at the same time.

Ji Fan Yin looked at the person in front of her and thought that he seemed very familiar. It took her a few seconds to recognize that the man was no other than President Long Fei of Blue Media Group.

The last time she saw him, the man came to the company to be interviewed. However, once he figured out that the person who was going to interview him had changed to Yan Xi, he became furious and had threatened the company to change the interviewee back to Su Ruan. Otherwise, he would not agree to this interview.

Director Gao had worked hard to persuade Su Ruan to return to the company, but Su Ruan refused.

In the end, the magazine failed to get that interview and Long Fei had never rescheduled.

But…

Ji Fan Yin quickly figured out that there was something wrong with this situation.

Last time, Su Ruan and President Long Fei did not meet. Then, why does it look like they have known each other?

“You are here.” Su Ruan looked at the man in surprise. Then, a second later, she realized that Editor Ji was still around and she was looking at her curiously. Su Ruan let out a cough before she spoke, “Long Fei, this is Editor Ji,” she introduced. “Editor Ji, this is…”

“Your boyfriend?” Ji Fan Yin flashed a teasing smile at her.

The smile on Su Ruan’s lips turned awkward. She did not how she should answer this question.

“You are Editor Ji?” Long Fei recalled that Su Ruan was going out to meet her Editor. Seeing the two women together, he quickly put up the puzzle together.

Ji Fan Yin nodded. “President Long Fei, hello. I am Ji Fan Yin, Su Ruan’s former editor.”

The two of them shook hands briefly. Then, Ji Fan Yin turned to Su Ruan and spoke, “Su Ruan, I’ll have to go first. I will call you later.”

Seeing her former editor turn around and left, Su Ruan finally heaved in relief. She turned to Long Fei and asked, “Why are you here? Didn’t you say that you were going to your office?”

Long Fei recalled the strange sensation he felt while he was in the meeting earlier. He gave Su Ruan a look over and was relieved upon finding that she was well.

“Are you alright?” Long Fei asked. The look on his face showed that he was very anxious.

“I’m fine,” Su Ruan flashed a smile.

Long Fei gave her a deep look. “But you don’t look very happy.”

The smile on her face stiffened. Su Run was indeed feeling unhappy after encountering Shen Yue. She did not expect that Long Fei would notice that she was hiding her feelings. She had thought that she had hidden it so well.

Su Ruan lowered her head and chuckled. When she looked up again, the way she was looking at Long Fei had changed. “Thank you. But really, I’m fine.”

As the uncomfortable feeling gradually disappeared from his heart, Long Fei was finally at ease.

“Just that, my meeting did not go as well as I thought,” Su Ruan said.

“Then, it’s their loss. Don’t worry. You will find a better opportunity,” Long Fei said.

Su Run laughed at his words. “Thank you.” A smile remained on her lips. “Why are you looking for me?”

Long Fei pursed his lips into a thin line. He had come to look for Su Ruan because he could sense that something was wrong with her. However, this was not something that he could say out loud. At least, not until she learned the truth about him and how she could affect him.

“I thought that your meeting should end around this time,” Long Fei came out with an excuse. “If you don’t have any other plan, would you like to go out on a date with me?”

Su Ruan pondered over it for a while and nodded. “Alright.”

Turning around, Long Fei led Su Ruan to the parking spot where Fu Xing was still waiting for them. Long Fei watched as his assistant alighted from the car and spoke. “Fu Xing, give me the key. I’ll drive.”

The assistant glanced at Su Ruan and quickly understood what was going on. His boss was abandoning work to accompany a woman. However, these were not the words that he can say out loud.

“Then, I’ll go back to the company first.” Once he got the approval to leave, Fu Xing turned around and grabbed himself a cab to the company.

Meanwhile, Long Fei helped his girlfriend with the door before he slid into the driver’s seat.

“Where are we going?”

Hearing the question, Long Fei finally realized that they haven’t decided on their destination. Earlier today, he had asked Long Yu Heng to help him find out places where he could take Su Ruan for a date.

However, this meeting today was an unexpected one. He had not made any preparation for it.

If they were in D Town, he could bring her around to many spots that others did not know about. However, now that they were in Capital City, Long Fei realized that he was clueless.

“What do you want to do?” Long Fei asked. “Do you… have any place you wanted to go?”

Su Ruan stared back with a dazed look on her face. Then, she began to laugh when she saw the same clueless look on Long Fei’s face.. She took out her phone and spoke, “Let’s see if there’s an interesting place around that we could go to.”
