Her Breathtaking Beauty

While the boys were still engaged in a banter akin to nursery kids, Long Zichen's mobile phone vibrated in his pocket along with an audible ringing sound.

*ring* *ring*

With a raise of his dark brow, Long Zichen unhurriedly retrieved his phone and swiped the screen, without glimpsing at the caller's name.

Soon came his brother, Long Feng's urgent voice tinged with worry as he quizzed Long Zichen's whereabouts.

"Hello, Zichen where are you? You were supposed to come see me at the office.."

Sticking his tongue out Long Zichen looked like a mischievous kid, he interjected with his low baritone.

"Bro! I'm with Yu and Zhengsheng.."

Running his long fingers through his hair, Long Feng sighed as he asked, trying to sound stern. His tone turned somewhat helpless at the end.

"Didn't I tell you to drop by the office today? It's been more than three months since you came back from F Country, and you're still playing around.. Zichen, dad wants you to take over either of the companies.."

Sensing the helplessness in Long Feng's words, Long Zichen once again interrupted the man lest he starts to lecture and worry about him. His brother really was a worrywart!

"Relax.. Brother! I'll be there in a jiffy.. Okay?"

Another sigh escaped Long Feng's mouth, this this in relief as he smiled faintly while reminding Long Zichen.

"You better hurry up! Dad's gonna come by to see if you're here.."

Flashing his million dollar smile, Long Zichen was oblivious to the stares he was recieving, he remarked playfully.

"Roger that!"

Hanging onto every word of Long Zichen's conversation with his brother, Qin Yusheng glared daggers at him.

"Don't tell me you're thinking of ditching us again!!"

With a light laugh, Long Zichen dismissed Qin Yusheng's question as he straightened up his denim jacket, preparing to leave.

On the other hand, Li Zhengsheng cocked his head to the grumpy Qin Yusheng, his tone full of ridicule. His slender fingers danced lazily along the rim of his wine glass. His bewitching pair of raven eyes glistening as they stared at the latter's puffy, anger filled face.

"What again? We hung out last night as well, it was only you who was too busy filming.."

It was fun to ruffle Qin Yusheng's feathers every now and then!

Getting up on his feet and staring down at the duo who were akin to cat and dog, Long Zichen extended his hand to ruffle Qin Yusheng's hair.

"See you later buddy! My brother's waiting for me.."

Easily distracted by the small gesture, the man grumbled swatting Long Zichen's hand away, earning a good laugh.

Suddenly recalling Xiu Lan's words during their phone call last night, Qin Yusheng raised his head to meet Long Zichen's inky gaze as he informed him.

"Let's have barbecue this weekend.. Xiu Lan's gonna be there too"

Pausing to glance at Li Zhengsheng who remained unfazed sipping on his wine without a care for the world, Long Feng exclaimed softly.

Shaking off the weird thoughts in his head, Long Zichen nodded with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Oh! Okay, I'm game.. Laters!"

Qin Yusheng's tense face instantly relaxed at Long Zichen's confirmation. He heaved a sigh inwardly, releasing his fingers that were surreptitiously crossed behind his back.

'Thank God Long Zichen agreed! If not, Xiu Lan.. That devil would've killed me for sure.. And she also wouldn't even give me that supermodel's number!'

From the corner of his eye, Li Zhengsheng stole a glimpse of Qin Yusheng's relieved face. His full lips sullenly pursed into a straight line.

Soon, Long Zichen's tall figure disappeared through the doors with only his scent lingering in the air.

"Hey Song Jia! Why didn't you let Feng pick us up, ha?"

Sprinting to catch up with Song Jia's brisk steps, Wen Yue complained in her usual whiny voice.

However, Song Jia paid no heed to her words and entered the premises of Golden Dragon Corporation. The sound of her high heels clacking against the floor evoked a sense of fright in employees.

With a straight face, Song Jia stepped inside the elevator and Wen Yue followed after, still expressing her dissatisfaction.

"The bus was too crowded, and stinking! I felt like puking when those perverted old men leaned down at the back of my seat.."

The other employees in the elevator held their breath, almost refusing to breathe in the presence of the ice queen. Some stole glances of her breathtaking beauty, and porcelain skin. Their eyes darting around awkwardly.

Turning to the side where Wen Yue was standing, Song Jia unhurriedly interrupted with her pleasant voice that had a tinge of coldness. It sounded distant.

"Quit complaining! It was your idea to dine at that restaurant.."

As soon as Song Jia's words fell, the few employee beside her gulped their spit and lowered their heads. Hiding themselves as much as they could.

Reacting exaggeratedly to Song Jia's simple statement, Wen Yue's taffy brown eyes went wide in shock. Her small mouth puckered into a pitiful pout.

Huffing and puffing out her chubby cheeks, Wen Yue continued her blabbering as they exited the elevator.

"Huh?! I had free coupons given by one of the clients.. And today was it's last date. I've been calling you since last week but you didn't listen to me.."

"You were always prioritizing work over me! You only have one thing in your life work, work, work!!"

Almost feeling the urge to roll eyes at Wen Yue's accusations, Song Jia wordlessly turned to the accounts department, leaving her alone.

"Seee!! This is what I'm talking about.."

With her hands on her hips, Wen Yue hollered as she glared at Song Jia's departing figure.
