Ling Tianya had to cover her face because of the dust that got kicked up in the air. She threw an angry look at the vehicle, a flashy Bugatti. Then, the passenger door opened on its own, revealing the culprit sitting inside.
“Little Yaya, get in!”
Ling Tianya raised her eyebrows in astonishment – it was Gu Zhiqian. “Didn’t he tell the crew that he had to be out of the town? Why was he here?”
“Don’t look surprised. I came back just for you. We have just enough time to have dinner and then I have to fly back to Hong Kong.”
Ling Tianya was perplexed by Gu Zhiqian’s strange behavior. “Why did he show up like this, and what is he talking about?”
Ling Tianya did not answer or move, so Gu Zhiqian smiled with a tint of menace in his eyes, “What are you waiting for?”
From the very beginning, her instinct had told Ling Tianya the man was not as easy-going as he appeared. At the very least, nobody could be that simple if he was friends with Ruan Zeyan. Ling Tianya knew she should follow her sensibility and keep a distance from Gu Zhiqian.
“Mr. Gu, I don’t think we know each other well enough to have dinner together. We merely have a simple working relationship, so don’t you think your request is a little forward?” Being direct was the best way to communicate with people like Gu Zhiqian. A polite refusal would only make things unnecessarily complicated.
Gu Zhiqian was not bothered by Ling Tianya’s response. He shrugged his shoulder and said casually, “Little Yaya, where is your assistant?”
Ling Tianya grimaced, “What do you mean?”
Gu Zhiqian was trying to hide his meaning, “My buddies are good friends with your assistant.”
“Gu Zhiqian!”
It was the first time Ling Tianya called him by his name. She had always addressed him as Mr. Gu in the limited time they spent together. When he heard his name coming out of Ling Tianya’s mouth, Gu Zhiqian felt a bit taken aback.
“Don’t be mad, they are really just hanging out. I don’t think your assistant can drive you home today.” He tapped on the passenger seat, “Can we go to dinner now?”
Ling Tianya was mad, but she realized she didn’t have any other choice. She finally got in the car with Gu Zhiqian.
Ling Tianya dialed Zhang Ke’s phone as soon as she sat in the car, “Where are you?”
“Miss Ling, you must be waiting! A Range Rover parked in front of me just now and I couldn’t get out. It just moved, so wait for me and I’ll be there shortly!”
Ling Tianya glared at Gu Zhiqian, “Are you playing with me?”
Gu Zhiqian had a grin on his face when he stomped on the gas. The car jerked forward, and the force threw Ling Tianya’s back into the seat.
“Miss Ling, what did you say? Who is playing with you?” Zhang Ke was still on the phone.
At that point, Ling Tianya knew it was too late for her to get out of the car. She told Zhang Ke to drive home on her own.
It looked like Gu Zhiqian was really in a hurry. In no time at all he drove them to the best restaurant in town – Ming Xuan.
Standing in front of the restaurant, Ling Tianya suddenly remembered the meal Ruan Zeyan bought all the crew members on their first day of production. It was from the same restaurant. She lowered her eyes and fell into an indescribable mood.
