31 Night of Surprises 1 (1/2)

Holding onto Li Wei's arm, Fan MeiLi looked at the beautifully decorated restaurants. Even though she hated being forced to attend this business dinner with Li Wei, she really wanted to try the food at the restaurant on Millie Ave. Zhang Jing once went to a corporate dinner at an Italian shop on Millie Ave and she always talked about how the price was worth the food. This street had the best-rated shops in China, but only the most powerful and wealthy could enjoy its brand.

While Fan MeiLi made enough money to live a stress-free life, it didn't mean she would throw money away for fun. So putting on a bright smile, Fan MeiLi tried to decide to make the best of the evening and enjoy the free meal.

The water led the duo to a private dining room, inside there were two men and a lady chatting with each other. Upon seeing Li Wei the group quieted down and stood to greet him with smiles and warm welcomes.

”Li Wei, you finally graced us with your presence.” A blonde hair guy said with a smile. From the way Li Wei smiled and the way he returned the greeting, Fan MeiLi could tell that these business partners were close friends. All of sudden, she could feel a heated stare on her, looking around she found the beautiful lady looking right at her with questions in her eyes.

Feeling weird, she squeezed Li Wei's arm to get his attention. Since he brought her here to play a role than he should do his part as well. Feeling a tug on his arm, Li Wei noticed Fan MeiLi glancing at him with nervousness. Leading her to the table, he got the other's attention.

”Everyone, I would like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Fan MeiLi.” He said with a smile.

Hearing his words everyone was shocked, especially the short red-haired lady, Emily Xu. It was a deep secret of hers that she was deeply in loved with Li Wei, and she always tried to keep a close relationship with him. Even when his mother tried to fix him up other women, she never worried because Li Wei never put them in his heart.

Trying to keep her emotions from exploding, Emily Xu put on a forced smile, ” Li Wei, when did you start a relationship? Last, I heard you were stilla single bachelor looking for love.” She asked.

Fan MeiLi almost laughed after hearing Emily Xu's question and took a quick glance at Li Wei. She couldn't believe this cold guy was ever on the prowl for love.

On the other hand, Li Wei was calm, ”As you know I'm a reserved person when it comes to my personal life, so I kept my relationship quiet. It worked for both of us but now I have to bring it to light to keep my mother from setting me on a more arranged date with random women.” He said giving Fan MeiLi a loving stare.

Returning his affection, Fan MeiLi could only roll her eyes on the inside. She wanted to clap at how easily Li Wei could make up that story and still have the gall to make a loving expression. Emily was so upset and wanted to hit Fan MeiLi. She has known Li Wei since their days in high school and he never made such a caring face toward her. Looking at Fan MeiLi, she found that the woman in front of her wasn't anything special. She only had a slightly pretty face, but Emily Xu believed she was still better if the two were compared.
