THE CEO's LOVE 2 MEETING AFTER 8YEARS 02

*****

Xueyan bought crayfishes and prawns, her daughter loves them and she had bought other things in other to cook a small but tasty meal, so she had watched the video of fried rice on YouTube and decided to try it out.

The ingredients she bought were: carrots, canned sweet corn, green peas with canned peas too, kidney beans, spring onions and chicken breast.

She was going to make this easy fried rice, she had watched on YouTube.

She had seen her daughter watching it and drooling but she was a bad cook no matter how she tried.

It was the end of June and her father had sent money for up keeping, adding it to her savings she took all of it to the market. They needed alot of things.

She had lived in Beijing but nothing worked for her and so came to Shanghai for a greener pasture.

She had gone for an interview in a hotel she heard paid well but still hasn't been contacted.

But giving up would make her seem like a fool anyway.

She wasn't good at many things but anything she learnt was stored perfectly within her.

She had been with her mother over the past years and knew how to use the sewing machine, Her mother a seamstress and father the owner of a small business.

If only she had a complete education, if only all that happened were just a dream if only...

Her thought was distracted as she passed by a table full of crabs.

She stopped to look at the sizes, crabs being her favorite seafood and not being able to buy it hurt like when a child was denied off his favourite toy.

The crabs all had different sizes and by mere looking at it she knew for a fact that it would be delicious.

Walking and not paying attention she bumped into a man carrying a load of fishes, prawns, lobsters and crabs.

She yelped the instant she felt the cold water on her lower thighs down to the sole of her feet.

"Young woman, you should watch it around here or get yourself inside the bowls." The man said picking up the lobsters and fishes that had fallen out on the ground.

"I'm sorry... really sorry," Xueyan apologized when she came back to her senses.

"It's ok young woman and besides I was trying to dodge you but ended up bumping into you also go dry yourself or you might catch a cold."

"Thank you, and once again I'm sorry," Xueyan said making way for him to pass.

Remembering that her little princess will be waiting patiently for her she left immediately.

Meanwhile at the other side of the market, Shi Ya shook head at Xueyan's foolishness, everyone had turned around when they heard the scream, did also but didn't get to see the young woman face but one thing she believed was that she was the clumsy type.

Dressed in an expensive suit, he walked into the supermarket searching for Shi Ya and Zhi Hao.

The two had been long gone, he had wanted Zhi Hao to stay with him and wait in the car but Shi Ya had insisted begging the boy nonstop and Zhi Hao had no other choice but to follow her even if it was against his wish.

It didn't seem like Zhi Hao because no matter what he wouldn't have gone but today he had agreed to her, something must be wrong with his son. Something was a little off.

Zhao Lin wondered if his son was OK or not.

He was about to go match further into the fish market when he heard a child's cry, at first the voice sounded like that of his son but listening carefully he discovered it was the voice of a girl.

He turned back to see where the cry was coming from and noted it was from the security house, he saw an older woman trying to pacify a little girl. Walking up to the two he assessed the little girl and discovered she wasn't the healthy type.

She looked skinny and frail like a child that lacked nutrition.

Qing Ran raised her head up to see a richly dressed man in front of her, he looked stunning at first sight like her TV superstar but then you'd discover he was more than stunning.

'He is as handsome as Xui Jun'. With tears in eyes and her thumb in her mouth she smiled for a second and started crying again. Zhao Lin was left Speechless as his mouth formed an O he had never shown any emotions before but then he couldn't stop staring at the little girl.

"Hey... little one please stop crying already as I don't know where to find your mom." the older woman said.

Forgetting why he was here he bent so close to Qing Ran that she had to move back. Clearing his throat to let declare his presence, the older woman turned to look at him. She stood up abruptly she knew he was, 'who didn't know him?' He dominated over Shanghai like an Emperor. A living God among men. If he were to stand as presidential candidate, only the votes of Shanghai citizen will get him seated as the president. He is 'Xing Zhao Lin', the Mr generous, the young master of the Xing household. Not knowing how long she had stared at the man she bowed immediately.

Qing Ran continued to cry not sparing a single glance at the man crouched by her side.

He raised his hand to clean her tears and she shrieked as she felt the man's fingertip brush against her cheek. He pulled her thumb out of her mouth and used the his second hand to wipe her thumb with hanky.

"Young one," Zhao Lin said not knowing how to pet a girl child. "What is the problem?"

Sobbing Qing Ran promised not to say anything to any of them.

"Sir... you need not worry about her, do not bother asking because she won't reply," the older woman said as she tried to pull her away from him.

Holding on to the girl he spoke to her without moving his eyes "I wasn't asking you.

Staring deeply he could see the color of her eyes 'golden Brown' she would look really beautiful if only she was much chubbier.

"Baby girl, can you tell uncle what the problem..."

"But you are not my uncle, I only have one uncle and that's uncle Shi Huan," hmph Qing Ran said with a high-pitched voice as the passers-by stopped to stare at the three.

People started to whisper

"Isn't that Xing...Xing Zhao Lin?" a girl asked her group of friends.

"OMG, who's that little girl? I heard he has a child but male how come now it's a female?" another asked.

"Look it's Zhao Lin." the man said to his friend.

"I hate to admit it but he's a God among men, he gives everyone an opportunity to work and provides for almost every citizen of China. Shanghai is blessed the most to have him." Another man said.

"Yes he is way too much." the friend replied.

Zhao Lin hadn't expected the turn of events, the quiet looking little lass sure knew how to talk and had a sharp tongue which could get her in trouble though she was just a little child.
