91 Mister Xia (2/2)

”Thank you.” Han Mei said before smiling at Xia Wei.

”You're welcome,” He said forlornly, looking as sad as his voice.

Han Mei felt sorry for him.

”Do you want to talk for a little bit? There is a good coffee somewhere around this block. You can tell me what you want from Suzuki Kyou, see if I can help.” Han Mei said in a rush and cursing herself for spending more time with him.

Xia Wei brightened, and a large smile suddenly appeared on his face. ”Sure, let's go.” He said as he jumped out of the car.

Han Mei bit her lip in regret. She really shouldn't have to spend more time with this man.

They walked into the cafe, Xia Wei was close behind her. Way too close for comfort.

When they arrived, Han Mei was supposed to lead him into one of the tables.

”Wait, I forgot something in the car. Stay here, I will just go back quickly,” He said before quickly turning around.

Han Mei's eyes brightened. This was the opportunity that she waited to get away from him.

Immediately, she turned and went to the side of the building, using it as an alternative route to get to their apartment building. Han Mei felt relieved when she was in front of it.

She had decided to stay there for the meantime as she mustered the courage to talk to her father.

Han Jie was already fishing out the keys from her bag, but suddenly she noticed a man running towards her. It was Xia Wei.

”Miss Han! Is everything alright? I only returned for my wallet as I can't make a pretty lady like you pay. But you already left.” He accusingly said. Xia Wei looked like he was sporting a grievance.

She chuckled nervously. While looking at him like this, Han Mei was distracted and failed to really consider that the man was weird enough to even chase after her.

”I wanted to get something, then I will go back to the café,” She said before continuing, ”You run so fast, and I was not able to tell you.”

”Oh, that's why! I thought you ditch me.” He said with a bright smile, ”Sorry, I am not used to not having money with me.” Xia Wei added, before his gaze looked in front of the apartment.

”Do you want to stay here? I will be just getting something shortly,” She said, trying to be polite.

Xia Wei looked at her with an embarrassed smile, ”Can I get in and sit? I did run, quite fast, and somehow tired.”

Han Mei nodded since she could still see the beads of sweat on his forehead running down his face.

She opened the apartment door and let him in. The apartment has a hired cleaner that visits every other two weeks. Because of this, Han Mei knew that the place is presentable.

However, she still doesn't feel right having this guy along.

”So, what would you like to have?” Han Mei said, giving him her best hostess smile when they get in.

”You,” Xia Wei said, making her smile falter on her face.
