Chapter 360: Match in the Making (1/2)

“I see. So you’re President Huo’s sister. Of course, of course. We are partners from now on,” said President Xiang as his expression returned to its usual frigidity.

Zhaoyang’s cheek twitched, trying her very best to inhibit the urge of slamming the hard-covered menu right onto Mo Shan’s head. It took Zhaoyang forever to change for a new environment and now she was associated with the devil again just because of a few senseless words from Princess Morebucks.

She glared at Mo Shan.

“Please order for us instead, Mr. Lin. I’m not particularly good with Chinese cuisine,” said Lu Zhaoyang as she passed the menu to the man. As different courses were served, apart from Mo Shan and Lin Jingzhi’s socialite chatter, nothing else was heard. President Xiang was never a chatty person and Lu Zhaoyang was too annoyed to join in, even the brand of the chopsticks became interesting in her eyes as she lowered her head digging in.

“Have this.” That was when a piece of prawn suddenly fell into her bowl. Zhaoyang’s gaze following the retreating hand, it was Jingzhi, with a sincere smile.

“Oh, it’s Lin Yazhi’s brother. Well, you don’t have to do this. I can take the prawn myself.” She had to emphasize the identity of the person, as the memories of the “Paparazzi Movement” last year haunted her.

“It’s okay. Yazhi told me that you love prawns a lot,” said Lin Jingzhi as he continued peeling the prawns in his gloved hands.

Oh my Golden City. Can’t Lin Yazhi watch her mouth sometimes? She sure can tell people a lot about me!

I should have stopped Lin Jingzhi when he ordered this prawn platter!

“President Xiang, well, I have a request,” said Mo Shan all of a sudden, “I would like to apply for leave on Zhaoyang’s behalf.”

“Why?” President Xiang put down his chopstick as he surveyed Zhaoyang who was also in major confusion. Her lips partially open as she embraced the cold gaze from the president, shaking her head as her eyes turned big.

What’s going on again? Did I miss something? Must the author add something not inside my script whenever I just daze off a little?

“Oh, it’s nothing much,” Mo Shan chuckled, “Madam Xue, your mother had told me, on a few occasions, that she worries about you being all alone in the City, hoping that you could get someone by your side.” She passed Lin Jingzhi a glance, “For instance, Mr. Lim ain’t that bad, that’s why he’s here tonight, to let you try mingling with him a little,” she looked back at Zhaoyang and held her fist, tapping it gently like comforting a little girl to the dentist.

The gentle words still failed to camouflage the little smirk at her lips.

I know you are no longer in Thunderbolt but I still don’t feel settled about Brother Yunting and you. The best way, from my point of view, is to get you a man so you’ll marry him and MOVE ON!

Then, Brother Yunting will forget about you and be MINE! As how it’s supposed to be!

Of course Lu Zhaoyang could tell the cheap acting skill from the Razzie-awarded actress, she snorted.

Hmph, of course I know what you’re doing from the crocodile tears being shed. I’ll make sure real tears smudge your makeup soon, try me!
