215 He adores her (1/2)

By 2 pm the next day, Da Xia was already sitting in the coffee shop waiting for the sender of the letter. She had waited for about thirty minutes, but no-one approached the table. After a few extra minutes of waiting, she picked up her phone to dial the number.

It rang repeatedly but the other end was not picking up. Da Xia was getting impatient, she wondered if it was all a joke. When it was past three, she gave up and decided to leave. As she picked her bag, she felt someone approach the table. Her gaze shifted from her bag to the person standing in front of her.

The lady looked in her twenties, she was beautiful, well not as beautiful as her; she had a short hair which she made into a bob. Her eyes were blue and her lips, stretched into a smile.

''Miss Da Xia, it's nice to meet you.''

Da Xia looked at her for some time before shaking her outstretched hand briefly.

The lady chuckled lightly and sat down in front of her.

''We should discuss over coffee, shouldn't we? ... Waiter! ''

Da Xia watched as the lady ordered two cups of Cappuccino coffee with an elegant smile, she only turned to look at her when the waiter walked away.

''Hi, my name is Yan Ran, it's really nice to meet you.''

''You already know my name, there's no need introducing myself.'' Da Xia replied curtly.

Yan Ran smiled, ''Yeah, that's right. There's no need.''

''You said you had something to tell me.'' Da Xia was very eager to hear of her rival; her hands underneath the table gripped the edge anxiously.

Yan Ran stared at her for a while then laughed lightly. Almost at the same time, the waiter returned with a tray containing their orders.

He served them both, before walking away.

Yan Ran rubbed her palms together, then picked up her cup and took a sip.

''Mm… so sweet, this place has the best coffee in town.'' Da Xia was out of patience, she could see that Yan Ran would not co-operate unless something was involved.

''How much? How much do you want?''

Yan Ran paused for a moment before dropping her cup of coffee.

''Ouch! You're so smart!'' She chuckled then brought out a piece of paper from her bag, passing it across the table.

'5 million Yuan'

Da Xia's gaze shifted to the lady in front of her for a second, and then she laughed. She picked the paper up and folded it severally.

''You know, I can find out who that woman is without paying a dime, what makes you think I would give you 5 million Yuan for it?''

Yan Ran picked up her cup and sipped from it.

''Because I am what you need if you want her to leave his side ''

Da Xia frowned slightly; she crossed her arms and asked,

''How? ''

''Because I live with them ''
