"Aye, we again got into talking. It's already this late. Let me ask the driver to take you back home. The breeze is turning colder. You shouldn't stay out late." Yun Jiaqi said suddenly noticing the time on her watch.
Zhen Shu Ting shook her head. "Ah, there is no need for that. I have my car and driver. So, don't bother. I would leave for home first. You can wait for Young Master Su with peace, I won't stay here to interrupt your moment with him." She said and once again, Yun Jiaqi's cheeks flushed red.
"Shu Ting, that … I was simply waiting for Brother Su. He didn't ask me to. It was just that I felt that he would feel neglected if I left first. So …" She said in a meek tone as if the talk of Su Yang was enough to make her shy.
When Zhen Shu Ting looked at her like that, she couldn't help but find it too cute. Up until today, she has never fallen for anyone. What she had known about love had always been from books, novels, and movies. Now that for the first time she was witnessing the same descriptions happening with Yun Jiaqi, she could only accept love to be this way. Otherwise, she never ever felt a man's name making her blush like that.
"Hehe, Jiaqi. You don't have to explain so much, I can understand. I have read about it a lot in books. You can wait here for Young Master Su. I am sure he will be coming here to find you soon. Seeing you waiting for him like this would make him love you more. So, best of luck. I would leave first." She said and Yun Jiaqi simply smiled at her before waving her goodbye.
Once she left, Jiaqi went back to wait for Su Yang. But even after a good moment of time, he didn't come to find her. Not understanding what had happened, she got her phone out of her clutch to call him. But right when she would have dialed his number, from the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of someone coming out from the hall.
Thinking it to be Su Yang, she turned to call out, "Brother Su, I have been waiting for you. Where have you …" Before she could say more, her words got caught in her throat while her brows tugged in a frown.
The person who came out of the hall wasn't Su Yang but his secretary. "Mr. Peng, it's you. I thought it was Brother Su. Have you seen him? It's been quite a while but I have not seen him coming out. What's keeping him so occupied inside?" Yun Jiaqi asked. Since the person was no other but the secretary of Su Yang, she only brought herself to talk softly to him, hiding the impatience and irritation inside.
Mr. Peng felt somewhat guilty when Yun Jiaqi asked him about Su Yang's whereabouts. Avoiding her gaze, he looked away and said with some hesitation. "Ms. Yun, I didn't know you have been waiting here all this while. If I had known it before, I would have come to inform you beforehand."
Yun Jiaqi jutted her brows together before she asked, "What was there to inform, Mr. Peng? I have been waiting for Brother Su. Since I have come here with him, it's only reasonable for me to wait for him, so that we can leave together."
"But Ms. Yun, Sir has already left before. He said he was tired and then left." The secretary informed and Yun Jiaqi's expression immediately got ugly but before it could get more evident on her expression, she was quick to compose herself.
After all, this was a straight insult on her face. The man with whom she came to the party; the man who was not just her partner in the party but was also announced to be the partner of her life had actually left her behind and gone already. Su Yang, who was known to be Qiging's best gentleman was not actually how people talked about him.
But could she do anything about this? Nope, because she brought this attitude of his on herself on her own. How did she even fail in humiliating Yun Meiyi when everything was already set for her?
"Ms. Yun, do you want me to ask your driver to bring you the car here? It's already late and standing here this late might not be safe." Mr. Peng said first when he didn't see the woman responding for a good moment of time.
Yun Jiaqi was brought out from her trance. Smiling, she nodded. "Yes, please, Mr. Peng. I was thinking of calling the driver already." As she said, the secretary nodded and at once went to call her car.
Soon, the car came and Yun Jiaqi got inside. Not once did her smile falter on her face, but even with that perfection in her expression, the secretary could guess what she had been keeping inside. Understanding the pain of a woman was tough, reading wasn't. Especially when the content is set out for the audience's view.
"Thank you, Mr. Peng. I will leave first. Please take care of Brother Su later when you visit him." She said before the car started to drive away.
Behind the secretary stood with politeness until the car was out of sight. When it left, he turned around, and there came Su Yang with a face that lacked guilt or any other emotion.
"CEO Su, Ms. Yun has returned. Are there any more orders for me?"
Su Yang's eyes stared in the direction where the car whooshed before. It was hard to tell what he was thinking from his face. After a short while, he shook his head and said, "You can bring my car here and then leave for the day." He said and nodding to his orders, the secretary soon left to get the car.
But just when he was gone, Su Yang again flashed back with the memories where Yun Meiyi left in the arms of some other man. He tried to go deeper and check the face of the man in his memories but no matter how he looked, nothing came visible enough to draw a figure.
He was so drawn in thinking about it that he didn't even notice when his car arrived. It was not until his secretary spoke and his trance broke that he saw his car there.
"CEO Su, should I arrange a driver for you?" The secretary asked, thinking that something is not right with the man.
But Su Yang waved him off. "No need. I would drive myself. You can go." He said before getting in the driver's seat of the car. But before he left, he paused for a moment to look back at his secretary to order, "Go and check who was the man who came earlier to take Yun Meiyi away?" Saying that he drove away, without hearing any word from his secretary.
