The next morning, Zhang Yu Han had woken up earlier than usual.
First, he logged in into his laptop and sent a message to his assistant that had to visit B City in the morning for an urgent matter. After washing up and a quick breakfast of a slice of toast and a cup of coffee, Zhang Yu Han headed out to the meeting point.
Zhang Yu Han took a deep breath as he thought of how he got himself in this trouble.
If it were not for his best friend, Wei Jun Hao, Zhang Yu Han probably would not lose his phone. If it were not for this friend, he would not have to wake up early in the morning and traveled to B City to get his phone back.
Last night, Zhang Yu Han was forced to attend a blind date on his best friend's stead.
His friend, Wei Jun Hao, he was set up to attend a blind date set by his aunt. His blind date is the daughter of her friend's friend.
As a filial nephew, Jun Hao couldn't say no his auntie even though he had no intention to go to this blind date. So he asked Zhang Yu Han to attend the blind date on his stead.
According to Wei Jun Hao, Zhang Yu Han was too good at turning away girls.
People who did not know him well would say that Zhang Yu Han was arrogant.
Mostly because of his deep, piercing eyes that give off a vibe for others not to get close to him. Then, there was also his quiet personality. Zhang Yu Han was not the type of person who would talk to a girl or anyone he was not close with. He was not someone who enjoyed casual conversation very much. There are a lot of things he could do instead of chatting about nothing.
That was why Wei Jun Hao had asked for his help to mess up with the blind date.
Now, Wei Jun Hao owed him a favor.
Who knows that while Zhang Yu Han was trying to escape the blind date, he accidentally grabbed the wrong phone as he was leaving!
Zhang Yu Han hailed a cab to get to B City as he was not very familiar with the city.
A few years ago, Zhang Yu Han followed his parents and moved to a European country right after he graduated from high school.
Because his grandfather was getting old and was thinking about retirement, Zhang Yu Han had to return to the country to learn and take over the company, Zhang Worldwide Group Headquarters. The company specialized in managing and franchising hotel, resort, and luxurious restaurants all around the world.
His first project was to oversee the development of a new hotel right from the beginning. After studying the company for months, he had chosen to develop a new hotel in Y City. Once the new hotel was established, then, he will move to the headquarters in the Capital city and learned to take over the company.
As he reached the coffee shop, Zhang Yu Han glanced at his wristwatch as soon and saw that he was ten minutes early. He craned his neck, searching for the girl's silhouette from last night. It was then that he realized he didn't know how the girl looked like.
He had just decided to head towards the counter to borrow the cafe's phone when he heard someone calling his name.
Slowly, he turned around. All he could see was the top of a person's head. The person before him was only at his chest level. Looking at her soft hair, he could guess that the person is a girl.
Zhang Yu Han watched the girl take a step back and tilted her head up to look at him.
Once he saw the familiar face, Zhang Yu Han's heart skipped a beat. He felt a lump forming in his throat and this lump would not go away even after he tried to swallow his saliva.
This girl! He knew her!
It has been almost ten years since the last time he saw her, but he could still recognize her face.
Her hair might be shorter now. Her cheek might be a bit thinner, and her expression has become more firm and resolute. Her looks had matured as years passed. But Zhang Yu Han thought that she looked beautiful even as she dressed in a casual T-shirt and jeans.
"Zhang Yu Han?" Her voice was soft. Almost like a whisper. "Are you Zhang Yu Han?"
His frowned deepened. "Yes. That's me. You're… Li Qin Yao?"
Her soft hair bounced along as she nodded vigorously. "Un... I'm Li Qin Yao. I hope you haven't been waiting for too long."
"I have just arrived."
He watched her for a long time as if he was trying to imprint her face into his brain.
She might be a bit different than the last time he saw her ten years ago, but Zhang Yu Han was very confident that the girl before him is the same girl that he saw at the high school basketball state tournament.
