284 Dinner by Eigh (2/2)

Richen couldn't believe what she just saw,

''You… you know each other? '' She asked, a bit hesitant.

''Yeah, you know her too? ''

Su Min asked, glancing from Richen to Liling.

''Yeah… yes, she, we went to the same school, Gahll. ''

''Oh, that's interesting. ''

Before Su Min could start up another topic, Liling saw Liu Wei chatting with Jin Yue; she didn't know Jin Yue would come but she was elated that he did, at least Xin Yong would not have the opportunity to mingle with other men as she had planned to.

''Oh, sorry for disrupting our chat, but we have something important to do now, if you wouldn't mind excusing us;

With a gentle smile, Liling pulled Xin Yong by the arm and dragged her away leaving Richen and Su Min rooted at the spot.

''To think that Richen would get together with that stalker?!  What's with her, why does she always go for guys you rejected?''

''That should be a relief, shouldn't it? Hi, Jin Yue, I didn't know you came?''

Liling said, pulling Xin Yong's attention to Jin Yue, who was standing in front of them. As Xin Yong shifted her gaze to look at him, their eyes met. He was staring at her intently and she couldn't help but look away.

''Yeah, Chairman Xi is a business associate, hi, Swe… Xin Yong.''

He was used to calling her Sweet, but remembering that she had earlier warned him not to anymore, he corrected himself.

He actually didn't want to come for the party but when Liu Wei told him that she would be there, he changed his mind immediately; he hadn't realize how much he missed her until he watched her on that stage.

She looked beautiful and breathtaking and he wanted to tell her that, but he realized that he couldn't. They weren't that close anymore.

Just that moment, Liu Wei said;

''You both continue, we'll go greet some friends, catch up later. ''

He put his arms around Liling's waists and pulled her away. Xin Yong knew what they were up-to, she glared at Liling who had a smug smile on her face as she walked away with Liu Wei.

Being left alone, they were thrown into a state of awkwardness, just then a waiter walked past with a tray;

''Do you mind?''

Jin Yue said, taking two glasses and handing her one.

''Thanks '' she said talking the glass from him;

''You were amazing today. ''

He said, turning to look at her.

''Uh? '' Xin Yong replied, she didn't understand what he meant.

''Your performance '' He said, looking down at his drink.

''Oh; thanks. ''

There was silence for a moment before Xin Yong spoke up again;

''Are you free tomorrow? ''

Jin Yue was flabbergasted. He had to look beside him to be sure that he was the one she was referring to.

''Yes, yes, I'm free.''

Whether he was busy or not, he wasn't thinking about it at that moment, the only thing on his mind at that moment was this woman standing beside him.
