Chapter 22 : Flashback

Han Zhi Fan couldn't help but flashback to the moment when his name was called by the host to be the one who did the opening dance. He remembered that he wished to drill through Lu Jinnian.

In every banquet of Tian Yi, there would be a random couple who was picked to do the opening dance. In the bowl, there wouldn't be Lu Jinnian's or Han Zhi Fan's names, except it was commanded by themselves. As for why his name was called, it all thanked to Lu Jinnian.

"Don't look at me that way", Lu Jinnian smiled.

Han Zhi Fan was about to turn his heels and walked away when Lu Jinnian hurriedly called him "Hey, Lao Er, will you be so cruel to stand her up?"

Hearing what Lu Jinnian said, Han Zhi Fan stopped. His heart sank when he thought of her being stood up and mocked by others. He looked around the hall and saw the glimmering eyes of women who hoped their names to be picked. If her name was called but he was no where to be found. Those women would laugh at her heartily. For her sake, he stayed.

He focused to where she was and he could see her talking to others not caring who would be his partner. He felt his heart wrenched a little. He also saw how shocked she was when her name was called and how cute her expression was when her friends pushed her to the centre of the dance floor. He also could see clearly how fast she composed herself and walked toward him ellegantly.

When her cold hand touched his, he could feel his whole body stiffened and he could also felt her stiff body when he touched her waist. However, they looked so calm on the surface. After the dance, she didn't linger around and politely bowed "It's an honour" before she walked away. At that moment, he felt empty.

Back to the present, Han Zhi Fan was still hugging Tang Wei. He didn't know how long they stayed in that position as his mind wandered so far away, but since the girl in his embrace didn't struggle, he wished to stay in that position for a very long time.

For why Tang Wei didn't struggle was because of her remembering the time when they danced the opening dance. No one knew that she always attended Tian Yi's anniversary to see him from a far. She always tried her best to perform well in hope for him noticing her.

When his name was picked to dance the opening dance, she couldn't help but wish in her heart that she would be his partner. No one knew that though she talked to others, her ears were focus to the host.

To her surprise, her name was called and she was pushed to the dance floor. At that time, she felt like her heart was going to jump out from its cage.

"Go and take a shower. I'll prepare your clothes.", Tang Wei said when she was still in his embrace.

"Okay", he agreed.

For their dinner, aunt Wang had made nutritious soup as Tang Wei was still recovering. All of the servants were dismissed so there were only Han Zhi Fan and Tang Wei in the dining room. The room was quiet but none of them felt awkward. Instead, they felt warm.

"I need to go back to my apartment tomorrow.", Tang Wei informed as she suddenly remembered.

"I will drive you there.", Han Zhi Fan answered without looking at her.

Upon hearing his reply, she stopped eating and looked up to him. "Don't you need to work?"

Han Zhi Fan then looked up and apparently looked to her clear and shining eyes. He gulped for a moment. " Your brain is so small, why do you need to think so much?"

"Hey! What do you mean?", she pouted.

"The literal meaning."

"Your brain is the small one, not mine!", she commented.

"Really? How do you know?"

"You....", she really lost words to reply him.

Again, she felt that world is so unfair for the powerless.

"Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the apartment. Then, we will go to the company."

"We? Why? Don't we agree that we won't announce our marriage in the short time?"

"Aren't you the ambassador of Han Jewellery?"

"Oh.."

"There is an interview to make it as campaign.", he explained after looking at her dazed face.

"Oh, okay..", she replied but she suddenly thought of something when she was going to dig on her food. "Mr.Han, don't you think you are cruel?"

Han Zhi Fan was startled as the woman in front suddenly accused him of being cruel "What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning.", she smiled

Han Zhi Fan shook his head helplessly. 'She is really good at copying bad thing'

Although Tang Wei didn't explain any further what she meant, Han Zhi Fan knew what she thought so he explained "It had been postponed for a whole month. If I insist to postpone it any further, you may be replaced though I won't let it happen. The interview will only take 30 minutes and I have arranged it to be taken in the headquarter so I can supervise it myself. There won't be any problems."

Tang Wei was shocked by his explaination for her question. At first, she was about to complain how cruel he was for letting his wife who had just had surgery to work. "How can you understand ?"

"I am not dumb"

'Oh man, can you please not be so narcisstic ?'

"But, what is your opinion? If you still need rest, then I will call them to postpone it."

Tang Wei teased "Do I have that right to say no?"

"Who dare to say no to you, missus?", Han Zhi Fan showed his sly smile.

Tang Wei laughed "It doesn't matter, Mr. Han. Actually, I wanted to tell you that I am bored after resting for a whole month so I may resume to my work any time soon."

"Don't exhaust yourself. After all, you are still recovering."

Han Zhi Fan couldn't help but sigh looking at the woman who looked so thin after getting through several treatments for the past month. He had planned to nourish her so that she could be fatter.
