"Un, alright." After replying, Xia Shangzhou wanted to say "Good night", but then he felt that those two words were too intimate and too much. In the end, he swallowed them back down and said, "Goodbye, Chief Lin."
"Goodbye," Lin Jiayi said before hanging up the phone.
Xia Shangzhou listened to the beeping sounds on the other end of the phone for a long while before he finally lowered the phone from his ear.
He first searched for the location of the Beijing World Hotel and sent it to Qin Ting before sending a message: [Tomorrow night at 6.30 pm, is this place fine?]
After receiving Qin Ting's' Sure ', Xia Shangzhou gave a call to the manager of the Beijing World Hotel and relayed all of Lin Jiayi's requests to him before tossing his phone onto the passenger seat.
It was already late, and he had already accomplished everything she had asked of him, but he didn't seem to have any intention of driving home.
He leaned against the back of the car for a very long time before he rolled down the window and lit up a cigarette. As soon as he took a puff, he choked on the smoke and began coughing violently.
In truth, he used to smoke in university, but she was the one who told him that she couldn't stand the smell of smoke, so she quit.
Occasionally, he would feel like taking a puff or two when he felt vexed, but it seemed like … the cigarettes nowadays weren't the same as the ones he used in university anymore. A single puff could cure all worries … When his coughing finally stopped, Xia Shangzhou didn't take a second puff. Instead, he extinguished the cigarette and tossed it into the bin.
In truth, there was no need for him to feel so terrible, was there?
He had known for a long time that she would never belong to him. For a girl like her, only a dragon among men would be worthy of her... As for him, he had bitterly endured for five years after graduation. He had only managed to pay for a down payment in Beijing and buy a small apartment that wasn't even as big as her bedroom.
Everyone knew that a princess might not necessarily end up with a prince, but with a knight … Putting aside a prince, he couldn't even be considered as a knight. At the very most, he could only be a guard of the princess … This was a gap that he would never be able to bridge in his entire life.
Now, Qin Ting was back. The Qin Ting that she had missed for so long was back. It was good … Anyway, she couldn't be single for the rest of her life. Instead of marrying for the sake of marriage, she might as well be with the person she truly loved … That way, she would live a happy life. Wasn't that the ending he had hoped for?
While Xia Shangzhou was in a daze, the phone he threw on the passenger seat suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and answered, "President Zhang … you've returned to Beijing on a business trip? This weekend? Sure … But I can't guarantee anything. You know my situation. I might have to work overtime on the weekends … Haha, isn't the matter of poaching me over? Why are you always teasing me … Okay, okay, I'll contact you this weekend. "
Four years ago, Mr. Zhang was the one who had tried to poach him. In the end, he did not manage to poach him. Instead, the two of them became good friends. Occasionally, on the weekends, Mr. Zhang would invite him for afternoon tea or something.
He called him just now because he wanted to have coffee with him on the weekends. He said that when he worked overtime on the weekends, Mr. Zhang laughed at him and said that it would have been great if he had jumped to his company earlier. He could be an executor and fish in troubled waters at any time. Yet, Mr. Zhang laughed at him and said that he really loved Lin Corporation …
Everyone thought that he loved Lin Corporation, but they didn't know that he only loved one person in Lin Corporation.
It was a pity that she already had someone else in her heart.
