Chapter 14 - The days went by

Fu Mansion. 

After the dinner, the Fu couple enjoy their tea with Fu Yichen and Wu Feng at the living room. The chatter going such as asking how the family doing and what their plan for the future. 

Wu Feng would enjoy answering the question with a smile face from time to time. She always focuses her gaze to the Fu couple as she didn't want to be too obvious for Fu Yichen to notices. 

She knew how Fu Yichen is. He is a cold man with ruthless personality. He dislikes any women that tried to get his attention especially use his parent connection. 

That why she would ensure to make it like she is one of his friends, not any girl that fall for him.

Fu Yichen who sat at the side saw that the time is getting late, so he stood up. 

" Mom and Dad, it is getting late so I am leaving first. If there anything calls me. I will come back to visit again another time."

Fu Yichen left without waiting for his parent respond. 

The Fu couple didn't know what to say. Madam Fu felt embarrassing as she glanced at Wu Feng. 

Madam Fu: " Feng'er, A'chen are busy so don't mind him."

Wu Feng smile.

" It's okay, Aunty, I also still have thing to prepare so I will be leaving too."

Madam Fu: " En, go ahead. Ask your parent to visit me when they have a chance." 

Wu Feng: " En. Bye aunty and uncle."

Master Fu: " En." 

Wu Feng walked out elegant as she not in hurry to follow Fu Yichen. 

Madam Fu sighs as she saw how her son attitude is toward Wu Feng. She knew how her son is, if he didn't like it mean no matter how much you push, he won't even look at. 

Now she worried how long she need to wait to see her grandchild. 

Master Fu held on his wife's shoulder and patted her in the back as to sooth her depress that cause by his eldest son. 

.

.

At the entrance door, Fu Yichen waited for his car drove to the door. 

The driver got out of the car and hurried ran to the side standing near Fu Yichen and give him the key.

"Big brother!"

The call behind stops Fu Yichen as he is getting ready to open the car door. He turned to look at Wu Feng.

Wu Feng came quickly and smile at Fu Yichen. 

" Can you give me a ride home?"

Fu Yichen dark cold eyes gaze straight to Wu Feng's eyes as he could see through her thoughts. 

Wu Feng felt embarrassing, but she still tried to take the courage to ask for a ride. Her inner greedy for Fu Yichen's attention is beyond to control now as she endurable for the past three years. She clenched her hands on the side as how nervous she is.

Fu Yichen: " The driver can send you back. I still have thing to do." 

Fu Yichen left without waiting for her respond.

Wu Feng's face is pale with bloodless lips. Her heartbeat so fast with the pain of got rejected by Fu Yichen but she still tried to smile as nothing happen. 

" Okay. See you next time."

The black BMW drove fast and out of the gate. 

Wu Feng's clenched hands are soft down. She was sad as she got rejected. Even she tried to wait for Fu Yichen to understand her but no matter what she does, she couldn't reach to him like he over the top of the mountain and she is at the bottom looking up to him only. 

Her thoughts got interrupt by the driver. 

"Miss Wu, the car is ready." 

" En."

Wu Feng got into the car and the car drove away.

The next day. 

Wei Zhen got up early and went to check on apartment as she changes her school soon to the capital. But it seems like all the apartment in the capital is very expensive even just one room is still expensive. She came by the food booth at the street and buy some affordable noodle. 

During lunch time, there are many people buying lunch as the street are busting with people voices. 

Wei Zhen found an empty spot near a small cafe shop to eat her noodle. The place is good but there wasn't a lot of people came through the way here. 

As she eaten her noodle, she saw a girl like college student. She wore simple shirt with jean. She also carried like a tray of dessert and it like she passes out the dessert for people to tried. 

Wei Zhen finishes her noodle and was curious of what the girl doing. So, she walks toward the girl.

" Hi."

The girl smiles.

" Hello. Would you like to try our dessert? it made with chocolate and on the side are the light fluffy cake with fruit topping." 

Wei Zhen grab one of the chocolates and taste it. 

'En. Sweet but not too sweet with a deep sweet and soft and light whip cream. It doesn't make you get bored for eating.'

Wei Zhen: " My name is Wei Zhen. What is your name?"

Su Yaoyao: " My name is Su Yaoyao. Nice to meet you."

Wei Zhen: " Me too. Are you still a student?"

Su Yaoyao: " Yes. I go to culinary art college here. How about you?"

Wei Zhen: " I just change my major so I going to moving to the capital soon. I'm going to the fine art college. Do you happen to know anywhere that rent cheap apartment?"

Su Yaoyao: " Sorry, I don't know too. I don't have any relative in the capital so I just stay with one of my roommate." 

Wei Zhen: " It's fine. I already knew that it will be hard to find good apartment in this big city with low budget." 

Su Yaoyao was embarrassing as she didn't know how to help Wei Zhen. She could understand how it felt as a student without family's support. 

" Do you want to come to the cafe and drink coffee?" 

Wei Zhen: " Um..." She still wants to look around in the city.

Su Yaoyao: " It's free coffee!" She was scared that Wei Zhen will turn away. She could see that Wei Zhen is someone nice and honest. 

Wei Zhen: " Okay. Then don't mind me drinking too much coffee."

She teased Su Yaoyao and both laughing as they walk toward the small coffee shop. 

The coffee shop is not big but also not so small. There wasn't any customer at the moment. 

Wei Zhen went to sat at one of the coffee stool near the counter. She could see that everything here is new like the place just open it.

" Did your family just open the store?"

Su Yaoyao grabs some coffee and make latte. 

" Do you want to try my new latte menu?"

Wei Zhen: " Sure!"

Su Yaoyao: " My distant aunt use to rent the place but now she couldn't afford the rent anymore and want to close but I ask her to open in her name instead and I will pay the rent. I want to try to open a coffee shop. But there still are many things to process at the moment."

She hands the small cup of latte to Wei Zhen. 

" Try it and let me know."

Wei Zhen drank the smooth latte and savory the taste.

It not too sweet and the favor of the coffee it not that strong or light but it does carry the deep taste of coffee.

Wei Zhen: " I like it." 

Su Yaoyao smiles as she heard the complement of her coffee. 

Wei Zhen enjoys the latte as she thought of how she going to make more money. Even though she doesn't study financing anymore, it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to invest. She doesn't like to open a shop like this too.

Wei Zhen: " Um... Do you still need or want it investment?"

Su Yaoyao: " Yes. I do but it will be hard to get a loan as I'm still a student without any secure job so..."

Wei Zhen: " How about I invest and work with you?"
