Chapter 210 - 209: Plum Blossom vs. White Lotus (2/2)
She wore a white evening dress with black laces. She had an aura of a dignified young miss from a noble clan and an innocent appearance that made men want to take her into their arms and protect her from any harm.
She's like a lotus flower that blooms on a sunny day in the middle of a crystal lake that was hard to reach.
”Oh, Mr. Li.” An Jiaying pretended she noticed him just now. She stood up gracefully from her seat and walked towards him with a soft smile. ”I'm relieved that you accepted my invitation.”
”If you don't mind, I already ordered for us. The food here is divine, I'm certain you already know?”
Ethan did not responded, but nodded instead.
An Jiaying knew that Ethan Li was not a talkative type, unless it's about business. She didn't think of it too much and continue with her one-sided conversation.
”Shall we eat first? It'll be our loss if we didn't while it's still hot.” She said in an as-the-matter-of-fact tone and went back to her chair.
Ethan didn't follow her.
”I'm afraid I don't have the time to leisure around, Miss An.” An Jiaying was about to sit down when she heard him. ”What I came here for is to hear your proposal, nothing else.”
How could you be so cold. When a beauty smiles at you and offer you food, isn't the natural thing to do is be delighted and thank her.
Why are you rejecting me, Ethan?
An Jiaying's face turned ugly but she didn't let Ethan see it. When she faced him, she presented him an awkward yet soft smile.
”I-is that so? I'm apologize, Mr. Li, I wasn't considerate with your schedule.” She acted pitifully. Her soft, tearful voice made anyone who see coax her.
Unfortunately, her charm doesn't arouse his interest.
Her feigned innocence had long been discovered by Ethan as soon as he heard the manager that she already ordered for the two of them.
Two-faced woman. Your white lotus facade does not reach my eyes. The only woman in my eyes is a plum blossom who still stood strong and beautiful even in the harsh winter!
