[ON HOLD] (1)The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy

106-108

Chapter 106: My Dear Ning Li

Feng Yao was a little surprised by Xu Yini's reaction.

"Yeah. The second master left after the meeting ended."

"He went off that early?" Disappointed, Xu Yini frowned.

Feng Yao was also at a loss for words. "Yeah, the second master rarely accepts jobs in the afternoon or the evening."

He thought that since she was Lu Huaiyu's childhood friend, Xu Yini would know about this.

Xu Yini tightened her lips. She came all the way from the capital just to see Lu Huaiyu, yet she missed him just like that.

"Where is he now?"

Feng Yao thought about it for a moment and smiled apologetically, "The second master has his own private schedule, so we have no idea."

The truth was that several executive members of HG knew where Lu Huaiyu would be at this time of the day: his house.

Since Xu Yini did not know that though, it was not necessary for him to tell her.

Xu Yini reacted bitterly to that response.

Mei Li went up to her. "If that's the case, why don't we prepare ourselves for the event first?"

Frustrated, Xu Yini suppressed her anger and disappointment as she marched forward.

...

At Yunding Fenghua, Ning Li filtered the freshly ground beans a second time and put them into the pot.

The rich aroma of coffee permeated the air.

Lu Huaiyu stood up and walked to her. "It seems like you learned a lot at the coffee shop."

He was always picky with his coffee. He asked Ning Li to prepare the coffee for him because he wanted to test her skills.

Well, it seemed like her skills had exceeded his expectations.

"The owner teaches me sometimes, and it's not that hard to learn." Ning Li did not even look at him when she said that.

Lu Huaiyu stood opposite her, and thanks to his towering height, he was peering down at the tiny spiral of her hair. She was concentrating on making the coffee and would blink from time to time, which made her eyelashes sparkle.

He took his phone and sent a message.

[Coffee beans: okay.]

...

Cheng Xiyue read the message in a meeting room. He sat straight up cautiously as if he was facing his greatest enemy.

The marketing manager, who was giving a presentation, saw the look on Cheng Xiyue's face and his heart skipped a beat. A moment later, the marketing manager cautiously asked, "Mr. Cheng, is there anything wrong with the data?"

Cheng Xiyue recovered from his shock. He put his phone down and said, "Oh, no, it's fine. Please continue."

The marketing manager confirmed it thrice before he continued his presentation.

Cheng Xiyue could barely listen to the presentation anymore, so he quickly replied to the message.

[Aren't you asleep?]

The man was usually sleeping at this time of the day. His habits never changed ever since he came to Yunzhou. Even Cheng Xiyue dared not contact him at this hour.

What could have happened today?

[No. I'm busy.]

Cheng Xiyue pondered the statement. 'Busy? The word busy should be omitted from his dictionary.'
