Chapter 10 - 1.9

Ever since he started to do business, he always locked himself in his office and sometimes sleep in his own office. It was a while that he had seen the setting sun and was there to appreciate its beauty.

Lu Ji Han's eyes became clear when he saw the peaceful-looking view in front of him especially when it came to the beauty sitting beside him.

Su Yunjin turned and saw his expression and was satisfied with the result. Su Yunjin turned to look back at the beautiful view but if she had looked at him a little longer, she would have met his gentle black eyes.

Lu Ji Han looked at her and could feel his heartbeat for this woman. The moment of silence was very peaceful between them. Su Yunjin finally started to talk to him and he was drowned in her voice.

"I like this scenery. It's beautiful. Maybe that's why my parents got this for me on my birthday." Su Yunjin said as her hands tuck a few strands of her hair behind her ear that kept falling on her face.

Lu Ji Han stayed silent. His eyes were trailing from her face to her neck, following that strand of hair. His lips were parted and his eyes were narrow. Su Yunjin looked at him and saw that he was looking at her. he quickly turned back to look at the scenery.

Su Yunjin's eyes softened looking at his flustered face. Lu Ji Han wanted to hit himself for turning too fast to avoid her eyes.

"Ji Han, how old are you?" Su Yunjin tried to start a conversation. Lu Ji Han hesitated whether he should tell her or not about his age.

"20" he lied, after thinking he should add one year to his current age.

Su Yunjin nodded innocently like a little child. Lu Ji Han felt guilt in his heart.

Su Yunjin knew he was lying. She felt a sting in her heart.

[Host, don't be sad.]

{I am not sad. Who would tell their real age or identity to a complete stranger they met just a few days ago.}

But the bitter smile on her lips as well as her dimmed eyes gave away her feelings.

"But you are not a stranger to him. you are his savior." The system wanted to add but looking at her mood, it stopped itself from saying anything.

[No one.] The system replied to cheer her.

{Exactly. Lu Ji Han is a smart and loaded man. How do you think he would be called The World's Richest Man if he freely gives information about him to any passing strangers.} Su Yunjin added.

[Host… I get what you mean. Please. I know my place.] Uuuu, the host is so scary.

Su Yunjin sniffs coldly in her mind.

{Glad you know.}

"Ah, we are one year apart. Great."

"Okay then, what's your favorite color?"

"Blue" Lu Ji Han replied.

"Ooo, mine is green." "What's your favorite food?" Su Yunjin asked to keep the conversation going.

"Western dishes, especially pasta."

"What's your favorite hobby?"

"Photography."

"What is your favorite animal?"

"Horses."

"Aaa, you have big hands, mine are so small compared to you. Hehehe.

Su Yunjin took his hands and measured them. Her hands were smaller than his big hands.

Lu Ji Han found it really cute. Both of their fingers were long and slim with distinct joints. Su Yunjin's hands were white just like polished jade. So delicate and cute.

Su Yunjin quickly let go of his hands and her cheeks grow red. Her loose hair once again came in front of her face.

He just smiled looking at her.

'Why are you blushing like that. He is only smiling.' Su Yunjin scolded herself.

[Yes, and that made him incredibly handsome.]

Lu Ji Han felt his lips drop. His hands felt empty and cold. Then, he saw her blushing face under her hands and smiled even more.

He enjoyed her blushing face. He wants to tease her even more and more. Just to see that beautiful face turn pink one more time.

His heart eased and he felt comfortable. Although she made his heartbeat, she also brings this good feeling to his heart.

Su Yunjin calmed down and looked up to see Lu Ji Han all of sudden closer to her.

Lu Ji Han's face was gentle and his hand went up to her face then to the loose hair on her cheeks. He guided that loose hair strand from her cheeks to the back of her ear leaving a trail of tingling sensation over her cheeks. His fingers stayed there at the back of her ears. This action made Su Yunjin dumbfounded as she looked at him without even blinking her eyes.

Su Yunjin felt a tingling sensation in her stomach as if thousands of butterflies were flying there.

'Is this butterfly effect?' she didn't know. All she knows that there are butterflies present in her stomach.

[What the heck is that?] the scientific system couldn't understand her theory.

Lu Ji Han's heart raced but he paid no mind to it as he looked into her beautiful eyes that were looking back at him.

Both of them snapped out of it when they heard birds chirping near them. Su Yunjin looked the other way and Lu Ji Han does the same.

Both had their hearts racing at this time.

Su Yunjin shook her head and slapped herself lightly on her cheeks. She wasn't here to fall for this man but to complete her mission. Yet, unknown to her, she kept falling for this man and that too very fast.

Lu Ji Han heard it and turned to look at her. she also turned to face him after controlling her emotions.

The birds chirped and they both looked up.

A family of birds.

Su Yunjin's eyes sparkled at the scene and Lu Ji Han grinned a little seeing her expression.

He was letting his feelings control his actions. He should stop it but he can't and he was enjoying it too.

That day ended with them silently walking back inside the house, side by side.
