Chapter 84 - 81...care... (1/2)

Meilin, who was not supposed to be present here, at the moment walked in with her usual stoic and elegant gait. She had donned herself in a pure white blouse and black wide pants paired with her usual 3-inch heels, all her hair was put up in a smart bun and her bangs were held by a hair clip; her lips were tinted with a peach rogue and she had a minimal to light make-up still, the aura she had didn't fade nor lose to the king walking in front, in contrast, even though they didn't deliberately match their outfits, somehow they looked to be in pair, maybe it was the intimidating and noble aura around them or maybe the tacit understanding between them, well, in all everything was so perfect around them and so, Xun Luli, who thought she deserved the place beside him, was stung hard by the scene.

Chairman Xun, whose back was facing the door finally stood up and turned around to welcome his future 'son-in-law', but the moment he saw the person beside him his brows scrunched down.

Qin Meilin, the fallen heiress of the Qins, was not supposed to be present here nor was she welcomed.

He deeply frowned, but before he could say anything, he heard him speak, ”it's a bit early, but since you are here, we can start the meeting”, he was very formal with his speech, he didn't sound like he was talking to an elder, but it was just enough for a man with a higher position than him, in a way his net worth was incomparably higher than Chairman Xun, but ZiXuan who grew up beside Qin Mo knew better.

When he first took the position, many were offended when he didn't respect them considering he was just a young fledgeling and needed their so-called 'support', but as time passed and he slapped everyone with his achievement and results, everyone accepted him as an equal even though he was not even half their age, Chairman Xun was one such man, he thought that being at the helm of the country's economy, Qin ZiXuan needed to have that pride.

Taking his eyes off of Meilin, who was intruding, he laughed, ”hahaha....well, let's start! We haven't placed the order yet, Luli, this child said that she would like to wait for you to place the order....”

”Papa!”, Luli who was still in a daze was brought back by this sudden mention and softly rebuked as she deeply blushed, she was acting like a wife who was teased by her father to have forgotten about family in front of her husband.

The Qin duo, who had no interest in their bickering, ”...........”

After a while, Xun Luli, who finally regained her composure, shyly nodded to him, ”It's been a while...”.....she didn't dare say the following, 'I've missed you, ZiXuan. Did you miss me, too?”

She was too scared to know the answer.

ZiXuan didn't say anything and just nodded.

Meilin, who was standing behind him, spoke for the first time, ”I'll place the order for you, sir.”

ZiXuan softly nodded, ”hmm”

It was an awkward moment for both the father and daughter.

The rectangular dining table had two chairs on either side of its breadth, it wasn't known if it was intentional, but both of them sat facing each other leaving one chair on each side.

ZiXuan without batting an eyelid sat beside Chairman Xun, which led Meilin to sit beside Luli.

There was cold silence after this, Luli was too shocked to say anything and Chairman Xun gave a nasty glare towards Meilin...well, according to his logic, if she wasn't here then, ZiXuan would definitely sit beside his daughter, the awkward air stagnated until the waiter came to take their order.
