Capítulo 97: She Doesn’t Eat Cilantro

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

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."
