Chapter 732 Standing your ground (2/2)

”For someone who has many responsibilities, I applaud you for always standing your ground and never faltering.”

He leans back on the couch and looks her in the eyes.

”For this, I have followed you for many years. And be it in the next five years or ten, I will continue to trust your decisions.”

Yue Ling stares back at him and she felt like the luckiest boss in the world to have an understanding assistant like him. Never once has he ever questioned any of her decisions.

Of course, there were times when he tells her his opinions, but if he finds her reason reasonable, he will agree without another thought.

As Yue Ling and Liu Shan discuss over the matters between De L'amour and Cloth Co., inside a small restaurant in the distance, Xu Long and Zhao Ya'Er had just finished lunch.

Xu Long held the door open for Zhao Ya'Er as she walks out after thanking him for paying. She couldn't help but think about the delicious meal she had just eaten and place both her palms on her cheeks.

”You were right about this place. The broth was so delicious and flavorful, if I weren't too full, I would have drunk it all.”

Hearing how satisfied she was, Xu Long stuck out his chest and his nose grew proudly. He has been coming to this restaurant since he was young and has never encountered another restaurant that can beat the hot pot here.

”Next time, if you want to come here again, just let me know.”

He leans a little closer to her and giggles a whisper.

”I know all their discount days.”

His words fell with confidence, but remembering something, he stops in his steps.

”Ah, can you wait here for me? I forgot something inside.”

Zhao Ya'Er stops with him and smiles a nod. She doesn't walk to the car but takes a step to the side and waits while Xu Long runs back inside the restaurant.

He needed to ask the elderly man if Qin Jun, Kira, or Song Jing Li stopped by to give information on Choi Li Sun. After all, this place is where they settle to exchange intel.

Oblivious to his true reason, Zhao Ya'Er didn't think much and looks around the area. At the same time, she was happy about having lunch with Xu Long.

Never once did he make her feel uncomfortable. He spoke to her like they had known each other for many years.

However, thinking about how good he is, she sighs inside.

”If only he wasn't bent.”

”Ya'Er.”

The second she murmurs to herself, she hears her name being called from behind. Thinking Xu Long had come back, she turns around to look at him with a smile.

”You're back already?”

However, when she faced the person, she thought to be Xu Long, the smile on her face disappears.

Her face turned as pale as a ghost and her body slightly trembles in fear.

”W-Why are you here?”
