Xiran Xiao had to agree to have dinner with Venus Mu.
They went to a Chinese restaurant with local characteristics. After sitting down, Venus’s phone rang. Venus took a look at her phone and found it’s Kerry who’s calling.
“What’s up.” Venus said.
“Where are you? I’ll pick you up” Kerry said. Kerry didn’t seem to be in the office, because there’s some noise on the phone.
“No. My friend and I are going to have dinner. After that I will ask the driver to take me back.” Venus said.
“OK.” Kerry said and hung up the phone.
Venus was somewhat surprised. She thought Kerry was coming for dinner with them, but she didn’t expect him to hang up the phone so squarely.
But she got that wrong. Ten minutes later, she saw Kerry.
“What are you doing here?” Venus asked in surprise.
Kerry smiled and said, “I happen to be around the corner.” Then he looked at Xiran and reached out his hand to her, saying, “Hello, Miss Xiao. I’m Kerry. I’ve often heard Yan Chu talk about you. Would you mind I eating with you?”
Xiran reached out to shake his hand lightly and then let it go. “I don’t mind. Please sit down.” Xiran said with an indifferent facial expression.
Kerry sat down beside Venus with his hand resting on the back of Venus’s chair, showing Venus is his. Xiran pretended not to see that and focused on eating.
“What did you buy?” Kerry asked Venus in a low voice.
Venus was unsatisfied with his arrival, but it’s not appropriate for her to vent her anger to him as Xiran’s with them. “Just two clothes.” Venus said.
Kerry had a keen sense of her mood. But as he had come on impulse, it’s impossible for him to leave. He squeezed Venus’s hand under the table as a sign of asking her not to be angry.
Venus gave him a resentful look secretly and pulled out her hand from his.
After courting a rebuff, Kerry turned to look at Xiran and asked, “Miss Xiao, are you here for travel or work?”
“Work.” Xiran said.
“Oh, if you want to stroll about, I can recommend some places for you to visit. Yan is free and she can show you around.” Kerry said.
Xiran smiled and said, “Let me see if I can spare some time from my work.”
The atmosphere cooled down again. Kerry is not a man who is good at acting according to the real situation and he just makes himself happy.
After seeing Kerry’s reserved face, Xiran couldn’t help feel sorry for Yan and angry for Tianye Mu’s sister. “Mr. Ye, when are you going to marry Yan?” Xiran asked with a smile.
Kerry and Venus were both stunned for a while. They didn’t expect Xiran to ask this question face to face.
“Did I ask the wrong question?” Xiran said. Xiran was still smiling and they couldn’t see her through.
“No.” Kerry paused for a while and said punningly, “Six months later. I’ll take care of everything.”
Kerry had never been humiliated by a woman like that and he couldn’t tell Xiran the fact that Yan is Venus, so he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. “Xiran Xiao, you a woman, and I don’t want to waste my time on you, otherwise…”
“Do you want to hit me? Ho, ho. You really open my eyes.” Xiran said.
Venus felt humiliated and embarrassed and her eyes became red immediately. She clenched her fists and shouted to Kerry, “Shut up.”
Kerry was very angry, but when he saw Venus’s tearful eyes, his anger disappeared immediately.
Xiran didn’t want to eat anymore and send a text message to Tianye to ask him to pick her up right away.
。
After a few seconds, Tianye replied, “OK. I am around the corner.”
“People say that the president of Yehuang Group is a very cultured man. I heard that you donated a primary school two days ago. I have the honor to see you today and I think you really live up to your reputation.” Xiran satirized. Then she said to Venus with a smile, “Well, I am not in the mood of eating. I’ll treat you some other time. I’m leaving.”
Venus stood up and followed her, saying apologetically, “Xiran, I’m sorry. That’s always the way with him.”
“Hum, does he think he is the emperor and everyone has to follow his will?” Xiran said. Xiran then took her clothes from the bodyguards. She said some swear words as she walked out, “Fuck, do you think you are really something as you are rich? You are spoiled by the silly women.”
After hearing what Xiran said, Venus kept her head down and mumbled, “You are also rich.”
