Capítulo 14: You Are My Person
Sitting across each other over a long dining table with all types of desserts on it was Lu Jiang and Mei Ling. Fascinated with how much that tiny body could eat, Lu Jiang realized that his little sister was obsessed with desserts, more specifically cake. Ordering tens of types of cakes, he intended for Mei Ling to merely eat a few slices before getting back to business, but it seemed...she wouldn't stop.. Almost 5 whole cakes had already been finished by her alone and there were still a lot more that the little girl was staring greedily at.
"Hey...Ling Ling?"
Mei Ling was stuffing huge bites of cake slices into her mouth, hurrying as if she wouldn't be able to get to all the other types of cakes. Not bothering to answer her brother at all, Lu Jiang felt ignored. At first, he was happy he could see his Ling Ling eating so much acknowledging that her health has really improved. But now, he was afraid for her health! What if she suddenly couldn't take that much sugar and vomited? What if her stomach burst open?
"Ling Ling, be careful for your health!"
"Little Ling Ling, be careful, what if your stomach starts cracking?"
"Ling Ling...didn't you say you came here for something important?"
Freezing, she remembered that she really did come here for something important! Facing her big bro's stare, she stated: "I want to earn money. By working. I'm not sure which industry or business yet, you can help me choose."
Mei Ling wanted to build a company, start her own brands, have luxuries, and eat cake. However, she knew she couldn't do that without starting small and then expanding. So why not just let her brother choose for her? She was still young and had many choices available to her. After all, she wasn't planning to stay in just a single industry. How boring would that be for someone who got the chance for a new life!
Lu Jiang was at a loss. He almost had a mental breakdown just sending her to college and now his ambitious little sister wanted to work! How was he supposed to help her choose?
"Ling Ling, how about you graduate college first? You need to study to get good grades, if you have work then you would lag behind." Lu Jiang carefully advised his little sister.
"I want to work and earn money to support big brother!" Mei Ling put on adorable eyes and poofed out her cheeks to get Lu Jiang to agree.
Lu Jiang almost fell for it and facepalmed.
Mei Ling whined. "If you don't help me choose then I'll just go to Zhao Corporation."
The man paled. This little brat, the Zhao Corporation was the opposing force of the corporation he was Vice-CEO of!
"Fine! Starting tomorrow, you'll be working at where I am working, the Yang Corporation."
Hearing this, Mei Ling approved of his choice. He would be able to keep an eye on her and as one of the major corporations of Asia, he probably thought she wouldn't last long. If only he knew that Mei Ling would shake the entire Yang Corporation in the future..
Remembering she also had another favor to ask, she gingerly got up and walked to the other end of the table. Massaging the man, she took the chance to ask: "Thank you big brother! And can I also have a private bank card? So I can use it for business without the school knowing."
Lu Jiang also had thought of this problem so now that she mentioned it, he nodded.
"Alright, so Ling Ling came over to take advantage of big brother?"
Giggling, she replied "Yes!"
"...." Lu Jiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She came to take advantage of him. But she also came to visit him! He was still happy, but was he supposed to be this happy?
After catching up and staying for dinner, Mei Ling went back to the girls dorm with her new bank card. Seeing a familiar back side, she inhaled and exhaled. It was about time he showed up, she was getting worried that the tyrant wouldn't get back at her. She had probably been the only one to humiliate him that much in his entire life, it would have made her even more anxious if he decided to ignore it. It was just that she temporarily forgot about it.
Walking up to him, she stood behind him awkwardly. Realizing that he hadn't noticed her, she coughed softly.
"Ehem..."
Turning his head around, he saw the girl almost a head shorter than him that he'd been waiting for. He thought that when he saw her he would be in a rage. It seemed that...it was the opposite..
The moonlight shining on her made her seem ethereal, the outline glowing, her pupils that already seemed translucent now looked completely limpid. Just a glimpse of her made his brain settle down and yet his heart seemed to thump harder each second passing by.
His cheeks started glowing pink and looked away, starting the conversation, "Mei Ling, wait no...Ling Ling, from today on...you will be my person."
Mei Ling who expected at least a scolding or physical fight was about to raise her fists when she suddenly froze.
"...What? Can you...repeat that?"
Looking at her seriously, he stated: "Ling Ling, you are my person."
