Chapter 42 (2/2)

Liu Zheng’s uncle suspects that Lin Luoran may be Liu Zheng’s girlfriend and Liu Zheng just gives her a t.i.tle of purchasing consultant to bring her on the business trip. He secretly blames Liu Zheng for not distinguis.h.i.+ng private affairs from public interests.

Lin Luoran never understands why this old man keeps staring at her along the road. She hurries back to her room and cleans up. Lin Luoran sleeps early, hoping to store up some energy for the next day.

…

The next day, Liu Zheng comes to knock at Lin Luoran’s door at dawn.

Seeing that Lin Luoran is already dressed up and waiting to go, Liu Zheng’s uncle finally relaxes his grave face. He is satisfied that at least Lin Luoran doesn’t drag them down in important things and she is quite thoughtful.

The three of them finish eating the local breakfast and drive to the destination without Manager Liu.

Lin Luoran has been to Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province, which is a beautiful memory of hers. The Dai people believe in Hinayana Buddhism so just like Xishuangbanna, there are lots of paG.o.das and Buddhist temples in Ruili.

Along the road, there are field plots planted with watermelon seedlings, subtropical thick jungles and groups of Dai women on bikes… All of these are unique scenery in Ruili.

“Did you sleep tight last night?” Looking at Lin Luoran’s quiet and pretty side face, Liu Zheng doesn’t know why he asks the question. His words make his uncle who sits on the back seat start to whisper in his heart again.

Lin Luoran draws back her drifting eyesight and notices the dark circle under Liu Zheng’s eyes. She asks, “General manager, didn’t you rest well last night?” Lin Luoran has to call Liu Zheng “general manager” when an outsider is around.

Liu Zheng pushes his gla.s.ses up and says calmly, “I was unused to the bed.” They stop talking and the atmosphere inside the car is weirdly silent.

Liu Zheng is actually a bit of displeased by Lin Luoran’s refreshment. He can’t be sure if Manager Liu deliberately gives the room next to Lin Luoran’s to him. Last night, thinking that Lin Luoran is sleeping right in the next room, Liu Zheng, who is always calm, was sleepless…

The entire night, Liu Zheng tossed and turned on the bed, which was a situation he never encountered in his life. This kind of anomaly surprises him.

Liu Zheng remembers that Baojia said he “likes the girl”. Now, the “girl” he likes is right next to him. Is this feeling called like?

Lin Luoran also detects Liu Zheng’s weirdness today. She can’t tell where exactly he is weird though, so she can’t help observing him. In the eyes of Liu Zheng’s uncle, the two of them are “flirting”. With the three of them thinking about three different things, the old Benz finally arrives at the destination.

It is a village with an awkward-sounding name, Dadenghan.
