The results of the end-of-semester examinations had been released long ago and Wen Xinya was ranked fifth in her cohort, all thanks to Zhong Rufeng’s collation of revision notes which had helped her achieve stellar results. Hence, she had been wanting to treat him to dinner in order to express her gratitude. However, she had been unable to do so because her grandfather was hospitalized all of a sudden and Si Yiyan had gotten injured as well.
She gave Zhong Rufeng a call and the two of them agreed to meet at a private restaurant near the school. The restaurant served delicious fish and was often crowded because of its thriving business. It was only less crowded during the holidays.
Wen Xinya arrived before Zhong Rufeng did and walked towards the private room. At the same time, someone opened the door and Wen Xinya had no choice but to greet him.
“Xinya?” Chu Jingnan asked in surprise the moment he saw her. He stepped forward and stared at her with an indescribable gaze, giving her an invisible pressure.
“What a coincidence, President Chu!” Wen Xinya greeted calmly. Since he had tipped her off at the police station on the day that she was detained because of Jiang Ruoyin, she did not treat him with a harsh attitude. Instead, she just kept a straight face and stayed calm.
“Are you here for a meal with your friend?” Chu Jingnan asked in a charming and sexy voice while keeping his eyes fixed on her.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Yes, I’m meeting Zhong Rufeng.”
A sullen expression formed on Chu Jingnan’s face and he could not help but recall what happened when school started. There were photos of Zhong Rufeng and Wen Xinya behaving intimately circulating around the school forum. Wen Xinya and Zhong Rufeng were both good looking and they looked just like a match made in heaven.
He would often be filled with immense jealousy.
Zhong Rufeng was compatible with Wen Xinya in almost every aspect, including character, looks, talent, family background, status and wealth.
He had even deleted the post secretly when the hype around it died down.
After a short while of silence, Chu Jingnan said, “Congratulations on coming in fifth place during the end-of-semester examinations.”
“Thank you.” Wen Xinya thanked politely, sounding rather distant.
Chu Jingnan stared at Wen Xinya. Although she was only fifteen years old, he was truly in awe of her capabilities. He heard from Xia Ruya that she had accumulated the Ai Shang Group stocks in order to stop the Xiao Corporation from acquiring Ai Shang Group.
He was no longer confident about winning Wen Xinya’s heart after getting to know how shrewd she was. “Wen Xinya, what am I like to you?”
Wen Xinya’s eyebrows trembled, not wishing to give any comments about Chu Jingnan’s personality. “Is my opinion important?”
Keeping his eyes fixed on her, Chu Jingnan asked, “It’s very important. I want to know where I stand!”
It was the first time that he had ever encountered such a setback, which was caused by Wen Xinya’s suspicion and doubts against him. Hence, he wanted to know where the problem lied.
