Chapter 198: 198, Encounter by Chance
Seated in Zhan Cheng’s car, Song Qinghuan rested her elbow on the window, steadying her head as she side-glanced at Zhan Cheng, recalling the last time he was unbearably infuriated.
He had furiously scolded her before storming out, and she had assumed they would sever all ties, perhaps for life.
Zhan Cheng started the car, but he didn’t immediately step on the accelerator. Instead, he looked at Song Qinghuan with a smile, “Why are you looking at me like that? Have you suddenly realized that I’m handsome, and so deeply in love with you that you find yourself attracted to me?”
Song Qinghuan twitched her mouth and looked at him embarrassedly, “I was just wondering, how come you’re not angry anymore?”
Zhan Cheng knew exactly what she was referring to — the incident last time when he was fooled.
With a stern face, he pretended to still be angry, “How would you know? Could there be any other reason than love for you? Huanhuan, I’ve been thinking every day about how not to miss you, but the more I want to forget, the more I think of you, and I couldn’t resist coming to find you in the end. Do you think I owed you something in my past life? Well, let’s forget that…What do you want to eat? Let’s go have dinner, you cannot excuse yourself today; otherwise, I’ll kidnap you to sit at the dinner table with me.”
Song Qinghuan was amused by him: “Well, let’s drive. We’ll eat whatever you suggest, I promise to accompany you for dinner today.”
Zhan Cheng took Song Qinghuan to a very famous Italian restaurant in A City, the same restaurant where Shi Yuhuan had once taken her for dinner.
Truth be told, she really did not want to dine here.
So she made an excuse, telling Zhan Cheng, “I’ve heard that this place is very expensive, shall we find another place?”
Zhan Cheng laughed heartily, “What’s expensive? Are you telling me that I cannot afford such a puny sum? Look at your small-town mentality.”
He led Song Qinghuan to their seats and pushed the menu to her, allowing her to order first.
Just as she had finished ordering and handed the menu to the waiter, she glanced up and saw Shi Yuhuan and Li Chengyun entering through the front door.
The two cold yet handsome men instantly attracted everyone’s attention in the room.
Song Qinghuan’s face turned pale for a moment, and then she lowered her gaze.
Zhan Cheng immediately noticed Song Qinghuan’s abnormality. Following her gaze, he too saw Shi Yuhuan and Li Chengyun at the entrance.
For some reason, he had a sudden sense of crisis. Looking at Song Qinghuan, he probed, “Do you know these men? Are they acquaintances?”
Song Qinghuan shook her head, “Not really. They are the big bosses at my company.”
This answer put Zhan Cheng slightly at ease; she was tense just because she encountered her boss.
He gently smiled, “As a mere assistant, you shouldn’t worry, the bosses wouldn’t recognize you. Besides, what’s so great about bosses? If you want to, I can open a company too and let you be the boss.”
Song Qinghuan glared at him, her face black, “Zhan Cheng, could you please not speak inappropriately every time you meet me?”
Startled, Zhan Cheng then looked earnestly at her, “How am I being inappropriate? Can’t you tell I’m trying to win you over? Huanhuan, I love you. I am seriously considering being with you, not just fooling around. I want to have a real relationship with you, then meet your parents when we’re ready, and if all goes well, we’ll get married!”
The silence was deafening as they locked eyes with each other.
Suddenly, Song Qinghuan sniffed and then said, “Alright, let’s say you’re serious, Zhan Cheng, but we really are not…”
Speaking softly, she began, “I…”, I’m already married.
The four words that followed were cut off by Interrupted by Zhan Cheng’s, “Why are we not compatible, do you have someone else in your heart?”
