Underneath the soft lights accompanied with a soft romantic music, a fine young man looked tenderly at the beautiful woman in-front of him. He slowly reached into his pocket, took out a blue box, opened it and light rays instantly flickered showcasing a beautiful silver ring. The young man pulled the lady's hand with his and suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"marry me" he said tenderly
The young lady seemed surprised. She couldn't help but lift a hand to cover her face in disbelief. Her petite face was brimming with happiness as she nodded gladly.
Chao Yuze couldn't help but roll her eyes, a fancy surprise proposal wasn't the key to a forever relationship. Things could easily go sideways….
"Don't roll your eyes, brat" an elegant looking old woman murmured. She looked like she was in her mid 50s but her movements were gracious and stylish
"you might go through that stage with the same expression as the lady downstairs " She said to the formally dressed Chao Yuze, overlooking the couple downstairs.
Chao Yuze chuckled as her eyes darkened ...
She'd been there...
Indeed, she was no different from the lady downstairs, grinning from ear to ear, leaving every lady in the room speechless with envious gazes.
How did it end?
He chose someone better....
"Yu Yu, grandma has arranged for you to meet someone, he's the best candidate. You're not a child anymore and I'm not getting younger, your dad is very worried" came the old lady's worried voice
Chao Yuze couldn't help but frown, she knew where this topic was leading to.
Another best candidate…..
"Grandma, I'm not ready to meet another one of your best blind date candidates, marry them if you like them so much. And there's no need for dad to be worried, I'll find my Prince Charming when the time is right"
"When the time is right, when's that, after my burial?"
"Grandma, you're wearing too little, I'll go get my keys"
Like always, she left with a silly excuse. The old lady couldn't help but pinch the space between her brows, exhausted.
.....
After a whole night of rain, it cleared up near dawn. The morning breeze passed and the ground started to dry out, leaving a sense of freshness in the air.
A cool breeze came into the room through the small gap on the balcony, rustling the light colored curtains.
Tang Lingyun raised his head as he heard the sound of the door closing.
It was his assistant Qiao Mei...
"Chairman Tang, the shareholders are all ready and these are the reports from the pr department in city B" he said, handing over a huge pile of documents
"Mmm" Tang Lingyun pinched his brows as a wave of fatigue washed over him and he closed his eyes for a moment out of exhaustion.
Qiao Mei pursed his lips, the young man in-front of him was a rare talent. He was only 26 but he had surpassed every other business man in city E.
City E was a home for prominent businesses, the competition was intense. One needed a strong and cunning mindset to rule but this young man.....
"Anything?" Tang Lingyun's cold voice halted his thoughts.
"Hmmm..... old chairman Tang wants you to have dinner with the granddaughter of his old friend" Qiao Mei said calmly.
Another blind date.....
"I'm not going, tell him I'm busy" Lingyun frowned, he wasn't ready to meet another whiny rich daughter.
"He has already asked me to clear your schedule" no room for excuses…..
That cunning old fox…..
