Cree grasped Qiao Ruo's hand firmly to ease her nervousness as he travelled back to drop her off at the office.
"I'll be late tonight," she informed him.
He didn't let go of her hand and taunted her playfully. "I hope I can have my answer tonight."
"Brother Ye!"
She turned red as she saw Yueling headed their way, having finished lunch at the cafe downstairs. Did Yueling know Cree?
"Mei," he greeted, and to her surprise, he smiled amiably. Apart from when he was with her, Qiao Ruo had yet to witness such a genuinely happy smile from Cree. It signified the girl was no ordinary friend to Cree, contradictory to what he had told her. Cree hardly smiled when he was out with her, and the fact that he had smiled when he was not Ye Qi, made her uneasy.
