Qiao Nuo was woken up by the sun hitting on her face. Observing her surrounding, Yi Chien is no where to be found. Half asleep, she decided to get out of bed. "OUCH"someone groaned. Young Master Song Yi Chien was sleeping on the floor, the sound had fully woken up Qiao Nuo as well. "Yi Chien"she called. "Yes I slept on the floor, you look uncomfortable last night."he said. "Thank you."Qiao Nuo said. "No need to thank me, I'll be sleeping on the bed tonight."Yi Chien said as he put pain patch on his back.
Qiao Nuo sighed as she look at her puffy face in front of the mirror. "Who's that girl?"she asked. "Someone I went to school with, not that important."Yi Chien dryly replied. "What's the activity today?"Qiao Nuo asked. "Jin Feng organized a brunch for all the guest, pick a nice casual outfit then we can get going."he ordered "Song Yi Chien, do you really expect me to go out in this state?"Qiao Nuo sarcastically replied. "Cover it up"Yi Chien replied.
Qiao Nuo tried her best to look good. "That outfit suits you"Yi Chien complemented, but she took it the wrong way. "I wore this outfit few times during our marriage, and I never heard a compliment. Are you trying to make me feel better?"Qiao Nuo said. "Was it too obvious?"he smirked. "Ugh"Qiao Nuo replied.
Yi Chien offered his hand after which she accepted. "For the show"she murmured. "I know"Yi Chien replied as they head out of the room. Jin Feng who was at the front door greeted them. "I heard what happen, do you feel better?"he asked "better"Qiao Nuo replied. Qiao Nuo's smile froze seeing the familiar silhouette in front of her.
"Lin Sen"Jin Feng called, the man then turned around. "This is my best friend, Song Yi Chien. He's the founder of SZ Construction."Jin Feng introduced. "This is Lin Sen, he's the Executive Director of GS Construction"Jin Feng said. Lin Sen smiled as he shook Yi Chien's hand. "This is my wife, Attorney Qiao Nuo."Yi Chien introduced. "It's been a while."Lin Sen replied. "Mhmm"Qiao Nuo replied trying to avoid his gaze.
Qiao Nuo's mood change after the meeting, which made Yi Chien worried. "Hey, is the medicine not working?"he asked. "No, it's working"Qiao Nuo said as she played around with her food instead of eating. "How did you met Lin Sen?"Yi Chien started "huh?"Qiao Nuo asked. "He said it's been a while, so I'm guessing you met him before."Yi Chien said. "Yeah, he used to work at the family company"Qiao Nuo replied.
"That's it?"Yi Chien asked "Yeah"Qiao Nuo said. "Hey, I'll step out for few minutes. I just need to get some fresh air."Qiao Nuo said. "Do you need me to come?"Yi Chien asked. "No, I'm okay. Go have fun."Qiao Nuo teased. "Give me a call if you need me."Yi Chien said. "I will"she said.
Since the guest are all busy eating, the spot near the shore was empty. "I didn't expect to see you here, you hate socializing with rich people."Lin Sen started. "Someone's taste can change."Qiao Nuo said trying to sound as arrogant as possible. "Congrats! Executive Director."she added. "Yeah, with the right connection and dedication."Lin Sen replied. "Is grandma doing well?"Qiao Nuo asked "Yeah, I can finally afford her hearing aid."Lin Sen chuckled. "That's good, I'm glad she's healthy."Qiao Nuo said.
"You and Young Master Song suit each other."Lin Sen said. "Thank you"Qiao Nuo said. Qiao Nuo knew the conversation will soon head back to memory lane. She decided to cut it. "I'm glad to see you doing well, I need to go."she said excusing herself.
Going back inside the hall, she was greeted by Yi Chien. "Hey"Yi Chien called, but she fell on his arm before she could even get the chance to respond back.
