CHAPTER 486
Bai Guiren had just finished a friendly meeting at the same Jade Dragon Restaurant. It was one of the few people who had agreed to do business with his company when they get back to City S.
That poise and elegance that she had embedded into her steps and how curvy her body is even at that age.
To make sure he was not seeing things and of course to know who the man beside her was, he stepped out of his car.
He obnserved more at first so as not make a fool of himself it they were total strangers. After all, ever since he saw her looking all glamorous and beautiful, he has been seeing her face almost everywhere.
It was then that she laughed.
Bai Guiren immediately became certain when he heard her. That familiar sweet melody that made flowers and smiles bloom in his heart and face.
He was privileged to hear that sweet pierce once again. He became unknowingly glad and let out an unconscious smile and a satisfied sigh.
'Wait a minute... What is wrong with you,, Bai Guiren? You now havr a wife whom you love and a child. Focus on the important part of still standing here,' he mentally chided himself when he heard his won thoughts.
With the intention to get this over with, he blew out air from his lips before taking a step away from his car.
"Jiang Meilin?!" He said her name like he was still having doubt that she was not the one. However there was no doubt. It was just an act.
Jiang Meilin who was laughing and Zhao Fu who was enjoying the sight and sound frowned at the intruder. Since she was standing on Zhao Fu's right, she could see the figure and fave of the man who called her.
"Mr Bai," she said with indifference and a little mix of hate. Long gone was the smile and warmth on her face a few seconds ago.
And that made Zhao Fu frown the more to the extent creases formed on his once smooth forehead.
'Who dares to interrupt my lady when she is laughing for me?' A possessive question of thoughts popped into his head.
He also had turned not only cold but sour and angry. He turned his head to the direction Jiang Meilin was looking at when he headed footsteps approaching them.
And much to his amusement, it was the man he had lost her to in those years of their newly bloomed youth. And it was this same man that made Jiang Meilin suffer for years without properly being with her child.
"Ah! I was in doubt when I saw you," Bai Guiren said with a smile as soon as he stopped before them. "It quite nice bumping into you here, Mei."
Before Jiang Meilin could even react, Zhao Fu beat her to it by doing so inner stead. He scoffed at the man he was a head and half taller than.
At the back of his mind, he was wondering how Jiang Meilin even fell in love and chose Bai Guiren over him. What did she see in him that made him loose?
He then made a mental note to ask her that in the future. He needed to know.
Meanwhile, Zhao Fu's act of hate or rather mockery caught Bai Guiren's attention. It was then his thoughts brought h back to one of the reasons he came down from his car.
To know who the man beside the woman who he can't get out of his head, is.
But by the the his black eyes met with those brown ones, he felt cold shivers down his spine as well as the shock of his life.
He knew this man. He was the one who danced with Jiang Meilin at the wedding reception. That same man that got the chance to her dance and also accompanyher throughout the remaining time of the day.
'Are they together now? Has she already moved on from our marriage?' He thought.
This man standing with Jiang Meilin had eyes like there was this flames in them. Also, his emotionless dead glare made Bai Guiren feel small and intimidated.
To get rid of that feeling, Bai Guiren squared his shoulders more and straightened his relax posture. He did not also forget to raise his head in hopes of not feeling short in the presence of the tall, built man.
Seeing this, Jiang Meilin was forced to hold in her laughter as she could not afford to break her ice lady face. But Zhao Fu was different.
He let out a little snicker at the quick scene that just occurred. He then placed the back of palm to covered his lips like he unintentionally made a mistake of no courtesy.
But there was still the look of mockery in his eyes. That he could not and did not want to hide.
"And may I know what is making this gentleman laugh? I would like to partake in the fun," Bai Guiren asked like he was ignorant if the reason. He knew very well what it is but he needs to keep his pride in the presence of Jiang Meilin.
He unknowningly wanted to make a good impression of himself on her.
"Oh, trust me. You do not wish to know the reason for that which I just did," Zhao Fu's deep bass voice finally spoke.
"Well, then I wound not pry more... Ahem! Mei, Ia���"
"Ms Jiang," she cut him of and shook her head a bit. "I made it quite clear to you and your family that none of you should not call me so informally. So, it is Ms Jiang from now on."
