517 A Passionate Night 1 (1/2)

Cheng Qingchong naturally knew of this habit of his. Normally, she would step in to take the invitation instead, lest the situation became too awkward.

This time, she was about to do that as well, but she merely reached her wine glass and had not said anything when Su Zhinian suddenly reached for the glass of water before him and clinked it against the secretary's glass before sipping it gracefully.

Even though Su Zhinian did not say anything, this action of his made CEO Yang grin widely, and Cheng Qingchong stared at him with shock.

Su Zhinian agreed to the social convention not because he liked the deal but because the secretary looked a bit like Song Qingchun. The secretary tried to get him to drink with her after that, but Su Zhinian had returned to his usual self.

Perhaps because secretary looked too much like Song Qingchun, Su Zhinian found himself missing Song Qingchun dearly that night at the dining table. His attention drifted from the discussion and went out of the room trying to search for her voice.

To her surprise, within the same building, although he did not find her voice, he did stumble across the voice of a familiar figure.

It was Song Menghwa.

He too was having dinner at Beijing Hotel. It sounded like it was a reunion between old friends, and Song Menghwa was talking about his daughter.

”That daughter of mine recently became TW Station's news anchor,” Song Menghwa said in a voice laced with pride.

”Oh yes, I know, I've seen her broadcast. I've not seen your daughter for so many years, and she has grown into a beautiful woman.”

Song Menghwa laughed from the praise. It was obvious that he was enjoying the company.

”But, Ol' Song, your daughter is reaching the age to get married, right? Or is she already someone's wife?”

”No, unfortunately, not yet.” There was disappointment in Song Menghwa's reply.

”Ol' Song, what is that disappointment in your voice? Something's bothering you?
