Ruan Zeyan stopped at the doorway with an ambiguous expression on his face . He then proceeded to walk in and sat himself on the other side of Ling Tianya . He entered the room before either of them had a chance to say no, so obviously he didn't really care if he was disturbing them .
Gu Zhiqian raised an eyebrow and pointed to the seat next to himself, “Why don't you sit over here, so we can talk easily . ”
Ruan Zeyan was already pouring himself a drink, “Obviously I have to sit next to the pretty lady . Two men sitting next to each other is just odd . ”
Ling Tianya was suspicious about the playfulness in Ran Zeyan's tone . He made it sound like she was an escort .
Without changing his expression, Gu Zhiqian picked up a glass of red wine and drank the whole thing, “What a pity! My plan was to spend some quality time with Xiao Yaya alone, until you: 'Mr . Unexpected', showed up . ”
Ruan Zeyan smiled, ignoring Gu Zhiqian's compliant, “Shouldn't you be in Hong Kong right now? What are you doing here?”
Gu Zhiqian looked over at Ling Tianya with candy-sweet affection, “I am here so I can have dinner with Xiao Yaya . ”
“Really? They let you go for this?”
Gu Zhiqian smiled confidently, “Is there anything that I can't do?” Turning his gaze back at Ling Tianya, he looked so determined as if the woman already belonged to him .
Ruan Zeyan raised his glass and drank the wine . The moment his head was tilted upward, one could see there was a slow-burning fire in his eyes .
The rest of the dinner was filled with conversations between the two men . At some point they were discussing confidential business matters which made Ling Tianya extremely uncomfortable .
She kept her head low . Just when she was about to excuse herself, Gu Zhiqian put some food on her plate, “Xiao Yaya, don't just sit there, eat something . ”
Ling Tianya stared at the food on her plate and didn't move . She was already ready to leave .
“She doesn't eat cilantro . ”
Both Gu Zhiqian and Ling Tianya looked at Ruan Zeyan who had just spoke . When Ling Tianya realized that the food Gu Zhiqian put on her plate had pieces of cilantro in it .
It was true that she didn't eat cilantro, she had never liked the taste of it . Clearly Ruan Zeyan remembered it .
Gu Zhiqian was taken aback, but quickly followed up, “How do you know Xiao Yaya doesn't eat cilantro?”
Ruan Zeyan looked unphased . For a moment, Ling Tianya thought Ruan Zeyan was going to reveal the truth that she was his first girlfriend .
Ruan Zeyan twirled the wine glass in his hand and said, “I have known Miss Ling much longer than you . ”
“A whole six years longer…”
Gu Zhiqian didn't know what to make of that . He had only met Ling Tianya a few times since he got back recently . Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya must have met each other before that .
“But, having Mr . Ruan remember your personal preference is very impressive . Good job Xiao Yaya!” Gu Zhiqian raised his eyebrows when he said those words, which could be directed at Ling Tianya, or at Ruan Zeyan .
The atmosphere in the room was so bizarre it was suffocating!
Without warning, Ling Tianya stood up abruptly, “You two take you time . I have work to do, so I have to go . ”
Ling Tianya reached the doorway before Ruan Zeyan said in a chilling voice, “Miss Ling has a habit of leaving early, but at least this time she let people know . ”
Gu Zhiqian thought that Ruan Zeyan was referring to the party at Liu Fei . Ling Tianya did leave early that night without telling anyone . “That's right . That night at Liu Fei, Xiao Yaya left without saying a thing . ”
But Ling Tianya knew what Ruan Zeyan meant . He was not talking about the other night, he was talking about six years ago…
“Sorry . ”
