Chapter 87 - Collaboration II (1/2)

Xiong Wuyue applied her red lipstick once again.

This day was supposed to be lovely. But Xiong Wuyue could not feel it a bit.

”Are you sure you talked with Guan Gao Huan's secretary?” Her irritated voice erupted for the nth time.

”Yes. Young Miss, they said they will meet us at 1pm.” The PA answered anxiously.

”Are you sure you haven't misheard?! We have been waiting here for almost two hours! I'm turning into stone here! Call them again!”

The PA hurriedly run outside from the rented VIP room. She tried to call the number multiple times. But unfortunately, it was out of reach. The PA was having a hard time. She doesn't want to go back and face the infuriated lady.

As she was just thinking of going back or not, a group of people entered the lobby.

A handsome tall man was surrounded by the men in black suits. His golden eyes glanced at her.

The PA felt her heart skipped a beat.

'Such a handsome man.'

Guan Gao Huan walked to the PA and smiled.

”I believe you are Xiong Wuyue's assistant. Can you lead us to her?”

The PA face flushed red. It was the second young master of the legendary family Guan! And he talked to her!

The PA bowed shyly and lead the new group to the VIP room.

When Xiong Wuyue saw the PA she was about to shout at her but swallowed it down when she saw Guan Gao Huan at the back.

Her scowl instantly turned into a charming smile.

”I hope I don't become a bother. You must probably busy. Thank you for giving me time.” Xiong Wuyue changed attitude made the PA inwardly rolled her eyes. Working under the young miss of the second branch made the PA learned how to hide her bitterness and unjust feelings.

”No worries. I apologize for being late. There's traffic.” Guan Gao Huan apologetically smiled.

Xiong Wuyue smiled sweeter even though she was cursing Gao Huan for making her wait.

'He has done it on purpose. This guy is looking down on me.'

”You don't have to apologize. I'm happy you're here.”

Xiong Wuyue stands up and served tea personally to Guan Gao Huan.

”Make yourself refresh first. Our matters can wait.” Xiong Wuyue politely added. She instructed her PA to bring more refreshments for Guan Gao Huan and his men.

”Oh. Thank you. Such pleasure. ” Guan Gao Huan returned the smile.

He reached out for the tea. He smelled it and gracefully sipped from it. His golden eyes reflected how satisfied he was from tasting the tea.

”I haven't tasted this tea before. Where did you get this?”

Xiong Wuyue showed her dimples.

”You are the first person who tasted it outside Xiong. This is the newest tea that the second branch will publicly advertise next month. It's called Anquan tea.”

”Anquan tea..Hmm. Very much alike from its name. Giving me a taste of security and safety. Very relaxing.” Guan Gao honestly praised the tea. True to its name, the tea taste good. Its smell and aftertaste made people feel at home. Relaxed and secured.

Unfortunately, this tea wasn't enough to make him feel secured.

He needed facts and proofs. And he would have it. All of it.

Money.

Secrets.

Power.

Authority.

Name it. He would make it His.

Guan Gao Huan's golden eyes concealed every thought of his. He looked up at Xiong Wuyue. He would start from this girl, the princess of the second branch. Sending him to her means one thing.

They wanted her to rope him in.

Since an opportunity came, why waste it?

”By the way, I'm really interested why you an exalted lady want to meet with me?”

Xiong Wuyue titled her head to the side, acting cute.

”I just want to reunite with my preschool friend. And catch things up with you. Please pardon me because of my excitement I did not act on my place. I was too brazen.” Xiong Wuyue said bowing her head a little. Like a guilty little rabbit.

Guan Gao Huan laughed.

”No worries. I want to catch things up with you as well. But it has been a decade already. Why talk about the past? Let's talk about the future, shall we?”

Xiong Wuyue's face lit up. This is what she wants. She doesn't have to talk about the past where she and Gao Huan did not even talk in preschool before. It save her from making up stories and bootlicking.

At least she could establish connections with the Guans.

So she laughed sweetly.
