Chapter 24

”Wow! It's so beautiful! I can't believe you have done so well. No wonder you are an elite. When in high school, you were the campus beau. After graduation, you became an elite of society. To own a luxury house in the Xinyi District. This house must have cost at least 100 million yuan!” Ever since Ruan Xiangping entered the building, she has been praising it continuously. After entering the house, she was even more surprised and examining everything. She was the most excited one amongst them all.

On the other hand, Tang Xin Lian and her son are calmer as if they are in their own house. This is not surprising.

Then again, their house is just upstairs. The layout is exactly the same except their decor is even more beautiful. If not for the surprise of living in the same district and building still being hung on their faces, someone would surely be suspicious of how calm the mother and son were.

”Xin Lian, Cheng Cheng, it's very pretty right?” Ruan Xiangping asked them grinningly.

Tang Xin Lian and her son nodded their heads in agreement. ”Yes, very pretty.”

At this moment, Bai Shuli walked out of the kitchen. He had prepared 3 cups of coffee for the adults and a cup of fresh milk for his son. Then he sat on the one-person sofa next to Tang Xin Lian and her son.

”This is my private apartment in Taipei. Only I stay here. Besides me, no one will come here.”

When he said this, he seemed to be suggesting something to her. Yet he also seemed to be giving her an explanation. Tang Xin Lian picked up her coffee and lowered her head to drink a mouthful. She just smiled politely and didn't reply.

During the journey earlier, she finally understood Xiang Ping's intentions. Xiang Ping had in fact already planned to match her together with Bai Shuli. That's why she had planned this reunion.

In order to play matchmaker between the two of them, Xiang Ping had specially came back to Taiwan. Tang Xin Lian couldn't outright reject her kind intentions. As such, she could only continue pretending to be stupid.

Her heart felt very chaotic now. She had just promised to try opening up her heart to Zhong Zhengdong. Yet, now, Bai Shuli had appeared.

Bai Shuli has changed a lot. He is now more mature and steady. He no longer has that juvenile character. He is gentle towards her and not aggressive. Even when she was cold towards him, he doesn't show any signs of impatience. Instead he patiently looks at her quietly, with a pair of gentle yet burning eyes.

”Tonight, I shall personally cook for you'll to eat.” Bai Shuli said smiling.

Just as Tang Xin Lian was about to tell him not to trouble himself, Ruan Xiang Ping opened her mouth to agree.
