Chapter 2519 The Last Ace (19)
Liu Ze smiled. “The best thing about is that I have a superb mory. When I was studying at Second High School, I often saw you eating at Ah-Xin’s Ran. You went so often that it left an impression on .”
“Yeah, Ah-Xin’s Ran is tasty and cheap, so I really liked it back then.” Huo Mian nodded.
“Mhm, that’s why I ordered takeout from this place.”
“But from what I rember, Ah-Xin’s Ran doesn’t do delivery.” Huo Mian went to Ah-Xin’s so often that she knew how busy the restaurant owner was. Plus, Ah-Xin’s Ran was quite far from South Side; so, how did Liu Ze get this food?
“I picked it up myself.”
“Dr. Liu, do you want sothing from ? Is that why you’re sucking up to ?” Huo Mian imdiately asked.
“What if I didn’t? That’s also a possibility,” Liu Ze asked.
“Not really.”
“Okay then, I guess I would like you to go easy on . After all, I’m a new doctor here.”
“You’re funny, Dr. Liu. You’re a dical superstar who was educated abroad, it’s an honor that our hospital was able to get you. Plus, even Director Wu’s said so many great things about you, so why would you need to go easy on you?”
“I was kidding! Let’s dig in, the food’s getting cold,” Liu Ze said as he picked up his chopsticks, but Huo Mian said, “Wait.”
“What?” he asked, confused.
“I’ll take your bowl. There’s too much in mine, I can’t finish it,” Huo Mian said as she pushed her bowl of ran towards him.
Liu Ze smiled, and he only replied with one word, “Sure.”
He knew Huo Mian did that because she didn’t trust him. That was why she decided to switch last minute. This woman’s guard was up so high that no one could climb over it.
For so reason, the ran wasn’t very good. Although the taste was the sa, the feeling was very different.
Once they finished eating, Huo Mian changed out of her hospital clothes and left South Side. Liu Ze didn’t say much; he knew that getting Huo Mian to trust him wasn’t a simple task, and he needed to take it slow.
-South Side –
Huo Mian had left in her white Porsche, but the black rcedes was still parked outside. It looked mysterious under the dim glow of the moon.
“Boss, Miss Huo has been leaving early and working late. So has Qin Chu. They... don’t seem as happy as they used to be.”
“Ha, this is just the beginning, there’s more to co. What’s the rush?” Huo Siqian muttered as he played with the lighter in his hand.
“Boss, if we keep going, Miss Huo may feel bullied... and she might feel that the entire world has abandoned her. She might beco depressed.”
“That’s exactly what I want.”
“I don’t understand.” The young man inside the car was one of Huo Siqian’s closest n. However, for the first ti, he didn’t understand what his boss was trying to do. After all, Huo Siqian was the kind of guy who got mad if any of them said anything bad about Huo Mian.
But now, why would he...
“Ah-Cheng, you don’t have to understand anything. All I care about is the result, the process doesn’t matter. This is my last ace, I have to win beautifully, after all.”
“Yes, Boss.”
“Let’s go. Tonight’s a good night, we should drink to celebrate.” Then, the rcedes slowly drove off into the night.
Qin Chu received another video from that mysterious number; there was no sound, just the visuals. It was a video of Huo Mian eating ran with Liu Ze. He could see the words ‘Ah-Xin’s Ran’ on the takeout bag.
Qin Chu quietly watched the video without saying a word.
