Chapter 13

Xiu Ying got home and started to think of what to prepare. She couldn't stop thinking of the little spout with Li Na. She sighed and just decided to order in. She went on her phone and ordered a pepperoni pizza.

She also ordered cheese because she wild want to save some for later. It would take some time to get here so she just decided to scroll through her phone. She played a game and was quite bored so she switched to TV.

She started to think. She really didn't have anything to do. Then a random thought surfaced. She remembered the man that she saw when she found the little girl. He was very handsome no doubt but looked cold.

He rarely smiled throughout the whole interaction and only did a little when he was talking to the little girl.

Then she thought about his name: Zhang Wei. It sounded very commanding. She remembered the little eye-contact they made at the assembly. She couldn't really see what was in his eyes from afar but she saw that his eyes were so dark.

She had heard about him before. He was one of the youngest but most successful in the cybersecurity industry. He had well surpassed his father in terms of the Zhang company. He was able to double their increase in stocks in just three years.

She took out her phone and searched for his name. His handsome face popped up with a biography and achievements, then saw a picture of the little girl and smiled. 'She is so cute.' She thought to herself.

Her research was disturbed by the bell. She thought it was Li Na and wondered why she was ringing the bell. She also had the keys. She opened the door to see the pizza delivery person and remembered the pizza. She quickly bought her wallet, paid for all expenses and bid the person goodbye.

She opened the packs to reveal the delicious-looking pizza. She remembered Li Na and gave her a call but didn't get an answer. She sighed and wondered if she was still angry with her. All thoughts of Zhang Wei was forgotten.

Li Na in the meantime was sulking because she didn't get the desired results from the encounter. She expected even a little talk out of politeness but got none. She had a lot of work to do. It is to be expected of her future man. 'Already loyal.' she thought to herself.

Yifeng, on the other side of the room, was watching her and could more or less deduce what she was talking about. He then thought about whether he was being too lax. He has tried to get him as close as possible more than once but she hadn't put any effort into helping her with Xiu Ying.

"Hey" he stated. "When are we going to talk about Xiu Ying huh? I have helped you more than once and now he (Zhang Wei) at least now knows about you. Xiu Ying doesn't even spare me a glance. Sounds unfair huh?"

Li Na snapped her head towards him and thought about it. He was right but it was clear as day that Xiu Ying isn't into him. Of course, his pride is blinding him and he doesn't realize it.

'But he is the only link to Zhang Wei. If I tell him Xiu Ying isn't interested, he may stop helping me. She was deep in thought and was only brought back when she noticed him leaving the room.

Thinking he was leaving, she quickly got up and uttered "I will help you this time but it depends on your luck." She looked as he stopped and turned around with a smiling face.

"Not to worry. I can guarantee that she will fall for me so please take care of me." He put his hand on his chest and brought his hand out for a handshake.

Li Na shook his hand quickly and removed her hand. She went back to sit down. She sighed. 'I'll just lead him on. At least until I get Zhang Wei.'

With that, she decided Lu Yifeng's fate.

Or so she thought...

She turned towards Yifeng and sighed. "Okay. What do you want to know?" he was about to speak but she interrupted before he could start "Wait let me just tell you that the approach you are taking right now is absolutely wrong. You are coming on too strong for someone like Xiu Ying."

She continued " Xiu Ying is a gentle person but is very assertive and not even I can change her mind sometimes. She is not like those girls who easily swoon over things, even boys so don't be so confident using your usual tactics."

"She may come across picky but she just wants to find a good day. He doesn't even have to be the one. She has never had a boyfriend before so go easy on your tactics."

Lu Yifeng just stared. He did not expect this amount of information. In all honesty, he really didn't care. He wasn't trying to take a wife or anything. He just wanted a good looking girl as his girlfriend for a while. He has never been in those kinds of relationships.

He did hear one part though. She had never had a boyfriend before, so that means she is still a virgin. He hadn't met those in a while. Maybe he'll have her underneath him soon.

Li Na thankfully didn't know his thoughts and after a few minutes of discussion, they parted ways.

Xiu Ying was startled awake by jingling keys. She looked confused before realizing she fell asleep on the couch. She turned towards the door to see Li Na enter the house. She looked at the time and saw that it was quite late. Almost eleven p.m to be precise.

She wanted to ask where she had been but she did not want a repeat of what happened earlier today. She watched as Li Na dropped her bag and keys on the counter.

Li Na finally noticed Xiu Ying and remembered her actions earlier today. She awkwardly went to sit on the couch with Xiu Ying and no one said nothing for a while.

Then finally, Li Na sighed and shifted closer. "Ying'er. Hi." She looked at Xiu Ying who said nothing and she continued, looking for an excuse for her behaviour today.

She immediately hugged Xiu Ying. "I'm sorry about today. I was just in a hurry. I didn't mean to act like that ok? Please forgive me."

Of course, she was just saying that knowing full well that she'll be forgiven. It has been that way since they were younger.

As expected, she felt Xiu Ying return the hug and smiled. She hugged her a little bit more before separating herself from her. "Ok, now that that's over, what is for dinner?"

"Pizza. I didn't know what to cook so I just ordered in." Xiu Ying responded. Li Na nodded and finally noticed the boxes on the table. She noticed there was pepperoni and she was glad that her flavour was remembered.

The two girls just enjoyed the night with pizza and TV.,
