During the weekend, Tian Ruyi received Bai Zichen's schedules thanks to the help of Nine, one of Bai Jingye's n. She was currently in the parking lot of a restaurant where her target was supposed to have lunch with one of his clients. This ti, she was sure that she would definitely et Bai Zichen.
As she patiently waited for the man's arrival, she finally saw a familiar car parking near hers. Her eyes brightened when she saw her target co out of the car. His secretary was with him as they entered the said restaurant.
Tian Ruyi wasn't in a hurry to go inside. She had to make their eting look like a coincidence. She waited for half an hour to pass by before she finally went out. She was wearing an off-shoulder dress and her hair was styled into a high bun, exposing her sexy neckline. She was going to seduce a man and she knew what to do.
She was about to enter the place but paused when she recognized the man who was about to leave the restaurant. He was wearing black jeans and a turtleneck which sohow intrigued her since the weather was hot.
The man stopped a step away from the glass door of the restaurant. His eyes went wide when he saw her. Si Hongqi never thought that he would be eting her soon enough.
They ended up staring at each other for a whole minute. Tian Ruyi was the first to snap out of her trance. She blushed when she rembered the first ti they t each other. Shit! Why did he have to show up at this mont?
Si Hongqi went out of the place and stood in front of her. "Are you stalking ?"
"Ha! Why the hell will I stalk you?" She frowned and crossed her arms before she puffed out her chest.
"Then why are you here then?" He asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Am I not allowed to co here? This is a restaurant that I usually visit," she lied smoothly through her teeth as she said those words in her defense. "eting you here is just a coincidence."
Tian Ruyi eyed Bai Zichen who looked like he was still waiting for soone. She shouldn't be distracted by Si Hongqi when her target was just within her reach.
Si Hongqi noticed that she was looking at soone so he followed her gaze and narrowed his eyes when he saw the man she was looking at. "Seems like you have a date. I guess it was my mistake to assu that you were following ."
"It is a mistake indeed. Well then, if you'll excuse ." She walked past him and began heading towards the table she reserved, near Bai Zichen's.
Si Hongqi didn't give her a second glance and instead, left without saying anything else.
anwhile, the blond-haired man wearing a tailored suit was busy with his phone so Tian Ruyi decided to catch his attention when she passed by his table.
"Oh my, Bai Zichen?"
The said man lifted his head to look at her. He blinked a few tis before he let out a smile. "Xiao Ruyi, you're here!"
"Yes! What a coincidence!" She chuckled. "Are you eting soone here? A date?"
"No, I'm here for business. What about you?"
"Blind date," she replied with a small smile.
"Blind date, hm? Did you break up with my brother?" He asked curiously, after all, the rest of the Bai family thought that they were dating.
"Yeah, so ti ago." She smiled a bit. Her shoulders sunk as she averted her eyes from him. She made it look like she was still in the process of moving on from the breakup. "Anyway, I shouldn't bother you."
"It's alright, I have already settled things with my client. Co, why don't you take a seat?"
Tian Ruyi couldn't help but wonder who he t up with since she wasn't able to catch the man with whom he had shared the table. Just then, Si Hongqi's face flashed in her mind. Could it be perhaps Si Hongqi? If so, what did they talk about? Was it only pure business? Lu ngjie had told her to list up all the people Bai Zichen had t up with when she explained the plan to her. What should she do? Should she tell her?
She decided to take care of Bai Zichen in the anti. She fed him with lies about her relationship with Bai Jingye just to gain sympathy from him. It was a good thing that she had developed her acting skills so she was able to deceive him so easily.
Bai Zichen handed his handkerchief to her. "So he fell in love with that Lu girl, huh? He already angered grandpa so he's receiving his punishnt for faking his marriage with Lu ngjie. I expected it from him but I never expected that he would end up choosing that woman's side instead to the point where he ended his relationship with you."
"I hate that Lu bitch!" She wiped her tears using his handkerchief. "I want to get back at her for what she did to . Help , Zichen-ge. I want to-"
"Excuse ." Soone interrupted.
Bai Zichen turned towards the man and ended up blinking a few tis in surprise. "Mr. Si, you're back."
Tian Ruyi's body instantly went stiff when she heard the na of the person. She slowly turned her head to look at the man who was standing beside her. Why the hell did he return?
"Sorry, I forgot my phone," the man said with an apologetic tone in his voice. He turned to Tian Ruyi and smiled a bit but for so reason, his gaze was cold. "Excuse , can you reach the phone on your side?"
She looked at the corner of her seat and saw the phone that belonged to him. She slowly reached out to it before she handed the phone back to him. As she did, their fingers touched, causing her to lurch back her hand at the sudden electric current she felt.
