"What? I'm working under her, unpaid?" Luo Chen was dumbfounded at the conversation between the two. He's father gave him a side eyed glare before turning his attention back onto Shu Ling. "Hmm...it sounds like a really great deal, let's do it!" She said extending her hand to the head of the Long family.
Happily, he shook took her hand and shook it before turning to his son, "Well...your on your own now, don't disappoint me." Shu Ling then called her assistant to see Mr Long out the company. Luo Chen who was still on the sofa frozen, was dumbfounded at the scene that had just happened right in front of him without his agreement of whatsoever.
Shu Ling slowly got up from her chair and was about to turn to leave the office. A hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, gently tugging it. "Hahaha you aren't really gonna leave me alone right?" It was Luo Chen. Shu Ling cocked an eye brown and mockingly said, "What are you scared of ghosts or something?" "I'm not scared, your the one who's scared! I just have nothing to do!"
For some reason, the second both of them had met, they felt very comfortable with each other."Ugh." Luo Chen groaned as he lied on the couch with his arms spread out like a starfish. "You know what I'm just going to stay here like this...for the rest of my life.""Cool okay, you can stay here like this while I go out to eat." Shu Ling said with her arms crossed.
At the word 'eat' Luo Chen immediately sat up, "What are you eating? Take me with you!" Shu Ling rolled her eyes as she turned her heel to the door, "Hotpot and no because i'm broke." Luo Chen immediately walked over and opened the door before Shu Ling could reach it. "Ah so that's why you didn't pay for the cake." He sarcastically said. Shu Ling sheepishly grinned as she walked out with him. "Forget it, I'll pay."
Together, they walked towards the private lift that was only meant for important people. It was a VIP lift so no one would notice their exit. When Shu Ling first came in the one she took was a normal lift so that she would not arise suspicions.
While they were going down the lift, Shu Ling quickly felt bored and pressed the lowest level button, the private carpark. Luo Chen noticing this, clicked on the second lowest level button, the carpark.
"....Are you challenging me?" Shu Ling stared at Luo Chen. "Watch me beat you." Luo Chen then pressed three buttons at once. Shu Ling immediately diverted her attention back to the buttons and quickly clicked on all of them with her ten fingers. Luo Chen did the same.
Just then the lights in the elevator turned off and it stopped moving.

"Damnit why do they serve so less food! I'm still so hungry!This is all your fault, you made me play that game! I had to wait so long!"Luo Chen complained as he set aside his plate to drink his water. "...." Shu Ling was speechless as she had first handedly witnessed Luo Chen devour 7 bowls of rice in twenty minutes along with the dishes.
"You know what, forget it. I'm gonna eat some cake!" Luo Chen said as he called the waiter over. Luo Chen had always been a big eater, despite that, he had a very nice figure. He was lean and tall with his youthful and energetic face.
"Young master Long, I think that you may die of over eating-sorry I mean you will." Shu Ling remarked as she placed a cooked beef into her mouth, it was fragrant because the mala soup base. "Fine then you give me the food, I'll die of over eating anyways!"Luo Chen said as he picked up his chopsticks.
"No! I don't have to listen to you!" Shu Ling said as she held her bowl of rice at a distance that was out of reach. "Hey! I still haven't made you repay me for the cake!" "I repaid you by letting you work under my company!"
"Yeah...unpaid!" Despite being in public, the two were acting childishly. Luckily, they were in the vip room, so the only person who saw them was...Luo Chen's father.
Mr Long smiled at the scene as he flipped his phone screen to show Elder Yuo. The two had decided to work together in hopes of the two second children to end up together. Even though it may have seemed like Shu Ling had completely changed, she was still stubborn, exactly like Luo Chen. Even though Luo Chen has lots of admirers, he never batted an eye towards them, making the both of them have a very slim chance of marrying and die alone.
If it was before, Elder Yuo would have disagreed with this matchmaking. But because of the sudden change in Shu Ling who seemed to have matured, he decided that it would be worth a shot.
After finishing their meal, the duo made their way towards the counter.
"Eh? Isn't that Shu Ling and Luo Chen?" Shu Hui who was with her friends muttered to herself. She furrowed her eyebrows as she saw how closely they acted as if they were close friends. 'When did both of them suddenly get so close?' Wen Cheng followed Shu Hui's gaze and frowned, "Isn't that Shu Ling? Why is she with Luo Chen? Isn't her fiancé Yu Zhe? What the heck?" She clenched her fists together, 'Luo Chen normally doesn't even spare me a glance! What the hell is going on?'
Shu Hui inwardly smirked, 'Right...this is good for me too...Shu Ling, I'll destroy your reputation!' She plastered on a petite smile and gently said, " I don't think their relationship is anything special, after all maybe my sister wanted to pay him back, he helped her last time." Wang Ning Ning, a follower of Wen Cheng immediately interjected,"You see! There is something going on between the two!"
Shu Hui gave a small smile and assured them, "I'm sure it's nothing, come on let's go eat!" She said as she gently pushed a few of the other girls in. Being the last one to enter, she quickly took out her phone and snapped a picture before joining the rest.
As they set down at a table, Wen Cheng turned to Shu Hui, "Hey your family is coming to my birthday party right?" The reason why Wen Cheng asked this question? Drama was going to happen. "Yep!" Shu Hui smiled, but beneath her smile, she was going to use this chance to destroy Shu Ling's reputation!
