CHAPTER 27

Cheng Xiao was dressed in a short red dress, today was going to be her fourth date with Ji Xiting. She was sure that today he was going to finally ask her to be his girlfriend. 

Although they didn't know each other that well, they chatted every day. She looked at herself in the mirror one more time before grabbing her purse.

Shen Mu was at work, and Ji Xiting texted her earlier asking her if she wanted to grab lunch together. She opened the door and locked it outside; she walked to elevator.

When she arrived outside, she saw him waiting for her. As she approached him, he greeted her with a smile and opened the door for her.

"Thank you!" She said getting inside the car.

"You look really beautiful today." He said when starting the car.

"Only today? Don't I look beautiful on any other days?" She asked jokingly.

"My bad. You look beautiful every day, red really does suit you." He said complimenting her on her outfit.

"When we first met you were wearing a black dress." He said recalling to their first coffee date.

"That was because of my boss. I had to match his clothes every day." She replied.

"Why though"? Weren't you just his secretary, what was the need?" He asked curious.

"I wonder why as well. I think I told you about the issue that I had when I wanted to resign." She said turning to look at him.

"Yeah, I think you did." He said trying to recall.

"Nope you didn't, you only told me that you quit your job." He said when he couldn't recall anything.

"When I went to resign that day, even the HR sent me away." She said remembering that incident.

"Why though?" He asked.

"Only he could approve it." She replied.

They made small talk along the way till they reached the restaurant. He opened his door and went out, when he got out, he closed his door and ran to her side door and opened it for her.

"You are really bringing chivalry back." She said jokingly taking his hand.

On the other hand, Mrs. Xu who was wearing a scarf and glassed looking suspicious in the crowd watched Cheng Xiao and Ji Xiting walk into the restaurant, and she got upset when she saw Cheng Xia laugh at the joke he made.

She took a picture and sent it to Xu Kai with a caption 'You have to bring my daughter in law back to me.'

Xu Kai was in the meeting when he saw that it was a text from his mother, he ignored the message thinking that she was sending useless message as always. The phone message kept going until he decided to just see what she wanted.

When he saw the picture, his eyes went wide almost falling out of his socket.

"How dare she?" He asked in anger seeing the dress she wore.

"Meeting adjourned." He said strode out of the meeting in anger.

Those that was left behind wondered what the message was that the CEO would leave the meeting halfway in anger. The look on his face was enough to kill someone.
