Chapter 20

The interior if the restaurant put the outside to shame. It screamed elegance and Xiu Ying was wondering if she was underdressed. She peeked at the siblings and saw that they weren't far off.

Weixi has on a skirt like her and Mr. Zhang had on a dress shirt. He still managed to pull off looking formal. They were led to their room. Xiu Ying was thankful that they weren't eating in plain sight.

When they were settled in, Xiu Ying had wondered how she would start the conversation but didn't have to because Weixi started it.

"Sister Ying, did you forget me? how come you didn't come to visit me since we met?" she fired questions at Xiu Ying, which made her feel bad that she didn't talk to her. Weixi looked like an abandoned puppy.

She couldn't stop herself from squeezing Weixi's face. "Of course not. Who would forget a cutie like you? I was just busy that's all." She continued cooing at her. They were in their own world, complementing each other, not seeming to notice the man from across the table looking at them with full-on amusement.

Weixi never let anyone touch her face except for his mum. Even with him, she would complain but endure then run away but she seemed to be enjoying herself so much.

Feeling a stare on her, she remembered that they weren't the only ones in the room. She met his eyes and immediately glanced away. Weixi, on the other hand, seemed a little offended that they were interrupted with her small pout showing her frustration.

At this point, Zhang Wei let out a burst of small laughter. This jerked Xiu Ying away from daydreaming and she looked at him in surprise. 'He smiled.' Even Weixi was a little surprised. Wow, her brother laughed.

She then looked at Xiu Ying and.went deep into thought. What if...? she gasped at her thought then giggled. Xiu Ying looked at her in confusion. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" she started feeling her face embarrassed that she had been sitting down for so long with whatever it was on her face.

Zhang Wei too looked at her sparkling eyes and wondered what she was thinking about.

After what felt like forever, their food came and they dug in. Xiu Ying had never tasted grade A food before so she indulged herself. Then she remembered something. She was so in shock, the fork she was holding fell down.

Zhang Wei became alert. "What's wrong? is there something in the food?" he was getting ready to call for some staff when Xiu Ying waved her hands frantically.

She was more embarrassed at the way she was acting but she had to give him a reason so she told him honestly " I don't know how to pay for this. This isn't planned in my budget." and without knowing she pouted.

Zhang Wei was speechless. He couldn't help but show how amazed he was. That was what she was thinking about? He already planned to pay for all of them since it was he who decided to invite her out.

Weixi was looking at them with a cute smile on her face. 'Mommy should hear this.' she saw how comical her brother's face looked. It was rare that he showed any emotions. He was always just calm.

After the amusing moment, Zhang Wei had convinced a stubborn Xiu Ying that he would pay. All in all, it was a wonderful atmosphere between the three.

Ye Ying, on the other hand, was angry. Those stupid security guards dare stop her. She was still embarrassed remembering that encounter. She was also freaking out because she had finally remembered where she saw that girl from.

It was the girl that brought back Weixi after she had deliberately separated them. "No no no-no-no. This cannot happen. What was she doing there with him? Were they on a date?" She had forgotten that they weren't the only ones, Weixi was also with them.

She drove with anger, often eliciting honks from other cars. She paid no mind to it though because she continued to wonder what the hell they were doing together.

She made sure that when she got home, she would carefully investigate her. If she planned on having Zhang Wei all to herself, then she had a thing or two coming for her.

She drove home in anger while Xiu Ying sneezed and excused herself. The atmosphere continued to be harmonious with occasional chats from Weixi and questions on her education from Zhang Wei.

He was well versed in this career because she also planned to enter the same field. She didn't hold back and asked questions he answered with precision and cleared all misunderstandings on the topics. It's not every day that you could ask mogul questions.

Her curiosity intrigued him. He made sure to answer her questions the best he could because it could help her in her education. He didn't have any access to this, so helping one in need was what he would do.

Zhang Wei was impressed with her knowledge. If he wasn't wrong, the semester just began a month ago. She showed understanding and passion in the topics they were discussing. She asked questions that made even him think about before answering. He hoped his information helped her.

Weixi looked confusedly at them because she couldn't understand what they were saying. She shrugged, after all, she was still young.

The meal ended on a happy note and Xiu Ying was beaming because of how much knowledge she gained. After this, she would go and study more.

She felt a tug on her skirt and looked at Weixi. She bent down to her level. "What's wrong cutie?" she patted her head, which Weixi seemed to enjoy. Weixi asked, "when next would you come to visit me sister Ying ?"

Xiu Ying froze. She wanted this to be more than a one-time thing. She looked at Zhang Wei for help but he seemed not to have seen her. Deep down, he too was wondering when next they saw each other. He was deeply intrigued by her knowledge and would have liked to continue the conversation but time had run out.

"Um, I might be busy for a while but I will see when and contact you okay?" At this, Weixi beamed and put out her pinky finger. "Promise?" Xiu Ying connected their pinkies and smiled. "Promise."

Weixi smiled and skipped to the car where the driver elegantly opened the door. Weixi thanked him and he smiled. This left Xiu Ying and Zhang Wei.

Mr. Zhang. Thank you for an eventful evening. I really learnt a lot from you. She bowed. Zhang Wei frowned at this. She didn't have to bow to him. He said nothing though. "It's alright. I enjoyed answering your questions. If you have more, feel.free to call and ask."

Xiu Ying smiled. "Then I will accept this offer." They parted ways and Xiu Ying drove home to study. She needed to write out the information before she forgot.
