T/N: This is me shamelessly advertising my original story. :P Take a look at Bound by Duty under my profile. It has royalty, werewolves and strong women. I can't guarantee you will like it, but do give it a try! 

The capital city was always extremely hot in the month of June. Ning Xi came out of the airport and searched among the crowd, spotting a young man in a white shirt wearing black-rimmed sunglasses holding a signboard in his hand. Her name was written on the board, so she walked towards the man.

Wang He was very displeased in his heart. No one would be happy to pick up a new person for the company on a such a hot day. However, without any connections within the company, he had finally gained a firm foothold as an employee. So even though his heart was somewhat unhappy, he didn't let it show on his face.

The flight was nearly two hours, and he was relieved when he heard from the announcements that the plane he was waiting for had finally arrived.

When he was thinking to himself that the person wasn't coming, he saw an extremely beautiful lady come out; she had fair skin, soft, gorgeous lips and wavy black hair. She was simply stunning.

When such a stunning beauty appeared so close that Wang He could vaguely smell her scent, his cheeks couldn't help but go red.

"Hello, I am Ning Xi." Ning Xi approached the young man, smiling at him.

Wang He greeted her respectfully, putting down the signboard. "So you are Miss Ning? My name is Wang He, the company arranged for me to pick you up. You can call me Xiao Wang." When he finished, he rubbed his hands before he held out one to Ning Xi.

"It's nice to meet you, Brother Wang." Ning Xi shook his hands, "I will have to bother you today."

"It's no bother, no bother," Wang He denied with a smile on his face. "You just returned home. You were also signed by a new company. If you have any problems, you can ask me."

He didn't know much about where Ning Xi came from, but since she was personally signed by Liu Kun and Zhang Qingyun when she was abroad, and the company arranged for her to be treated quite well, then she must have been an extraordinary talent. That's why, even though he waited so long, he didn't dare complain.

They both conversed as they walked out of the airport. Ning Xi felt as if the hot sun was roasting her body and was very uncomfortable; fortunately, Wang He's car wasn't too far away and they didn't walk for long.

When the AC was switched on, Ning Xi exhaled in relief. She took out her phone to take a look. It was already late noon.

Wang He accompanied Ning Xi to a restaurant for dinner and later to a good apartment where the company had arranged for her to live.

The place had one room and one bathroom. The location was good, there was plenty of greenery about. Wang He helped Ning Xi carry her luggage, unlocked the door, and handed the key over.

"Miss Ning, this is a temporary arrangement for your stay that the company has prepared for you. If you are not satisfied, please wait for the company to find a better place and shift later." Wang He put the suitcase in the corner. He was a little curious. Despite staying abroad for so many years, this Miss Ning did not have much luggage.

The furniture in the house was all there. Even the beds were covered with a new, clean quilt. Sensing the respect that the company was giving her, Ning Xi smiled and thanked Wang He.

Wang He made a little polite talk. He informed her about the traffic around there and the major supermarkets. He gave her the company staff manual and the map of the capital and left.
