Chereads / Forever His Mistress / Chapter 24 - Courtng I

Chapter 24 - Courtng I

They two sat in the car silently as Qin Yan drove out of the estate.

Tang Xi was looking at Qin Yan side profile as he drove,Tang Xi has observed his house and the way the housekeeper addressed him as Young master, she knew that he wasn't really a taxi driver, no wonder he could afford a property as beautiful and expensive as deer garden , he was probably a second generation heir, she concluded.

You have been staring at me, are you falling inlove with me, Qin Yan asked smiling.

Falling inlove, you wish. You aren't really a taxi driver, you must have approached me with a motive?

Correct, that very day, I just wanted to talk to you but you had mistaken me as a taxi driver so I just assumed the role.

You should have told me earlier.

If I had told you, I wanted to talk to you, I bet you wouldn't agree so I just used a much easier way, what do you think, he said winking at her.

Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat, why was he so handsome? Come off it Tang Xi, he's just a little handsome, nothing special, Tang Xi reprimanded herself.

What's your name? You never told me and I don't know how you even got to know my name.

My name is Qin Yan and I knew your name from the first day I set my eyes on you. I set my mind on you, Tang Xi, I am very serious about what I told you earlier, I will pursue you and make you my woman, Qin Yan said seriously looking at Tang Xi.

Eyes on the road, Tang Xi said flustered by his gaze. She has had many boys confessing their love for her from her high school days till now but no one has done it so arrogantly like this fellow with her now. He was indeed different, he was so confident.

You are Qin Yan? It was you who sent me the flowers, Tang said .

Uhmmm, did you like it? Qin Yan admitted.

This man, really too troublesome, Tang Xi muttered to herself.

Qin Yan finally arrived in front of SJ, Tang Xi thanked him and tried to open the door but it was locked from the central lock, she looked at Qin Yan.

What's the matter? Am going to be late.

You haven't answered me Tang Xi, I want you to give me a chance to pursue you, what do you say?

Tang Xi looked at her time and she was going to be late if she continued chatting with Qin Yan. Okay I will give you a chance, can I go now?

Dinner tonight? I will come pick you up.

Ok, sure, Tang Xi said and Qin Yan leaned in and peaked her chin and Tang Xi froze.

Go on or you really will be late, Qin Yan said smiling.

Tang Xi looked at him and decided not to pursue the matter, she got out of the car and strutted to the company's entrance.

Qin Yan watched as her figure disappeared and finally drove off.

At the upper floor of SJ, Tang Jing stood at the floor to ceiling glass window, she had seen the car stop, she recognized it as the car from last night, the car stayed for sometime before Tang Xi came out of it. She was right, the car was indeed related to Tang Xi. That slut didn't come home last night and now she was dropped off by a man, she was obviously fooling around outside with wild men, she could now stop worrying about her getting together with Zhou Che.

Tang Xi walked into the company majestically,the dress Qin Yan got her was a pink floral gown. Tang Xi walked into the company with confidence, her pink floral dress shimmering in the light. The fitted bodice accentuated her slender waist, while the flowing skirt fell gracefully around her knees. The dress's soft rustle echoed through the lobby, harmonizing with her vibrant energy.

The workers in the lobby were all complimenting her.

Wow, miss Tang looks so pretty. She is able to pull off any outfit she puts on.

Yesterday she looked fiery in red suit and today, she looks like a little wife, another person said.

Tang Xi heard him, what little wife? They must be crazy, she muttered to herself. She walked past the lobby and finally got to her office.

Tang Xi was welcomed by gazes from her co workers and wondered what prompted that, she went to her sit and saw flowers on her table, she already knew who sent it, it was probably Qin Yan, he really is trouble, she picked up the flowers and saw a note inside, it says "Pretty flowers for my pretty little girl".

Tang Xi smiled at the note but snapped out of it, am I really smiling at his note, Tang Xi stop it, you are already losing your gangster powers, she thought to herself.What little girl, she's already an adult, he must be really crazy, she kept the flowers aside and was about to start work when Su Wan came over to her table.

Seems like your suitor is really persistent, Su Wan said smiling, the flowers are so pretty, i think you should really say yes to this one.

Why do you think so, Tang Xi asked.

Well, I saw you smiling at the note and I thought you might like the sender, Su Wan said smiling at her.

You should really go back to work or Mrs Weng is gonna punish you.

You are right, I will see you around, Su Wan said going back to her table. Tang Xi went back to work but got a call from Weiwei halfway. Hello Weiwei.

Xiao Xi, how are you? I have been trying to reach you since morning, you left with a strange guy yesterday and I was worried about you.

I am okay, my phone was out of battery that's why you weren't able to reach me. I happen to know the strange guy, so he didn't do anything to me and assured me that his friend would send you back safely, hope you are good?

Yea, I passed out and he sent me to a hotel butttt! It's a bit risky to entrust our drunk selves to two strangers, how did you know the guy?

Well, it's a long story, I will fill you in later.

Ok then, I will see you at the dessert shop after work, Weiwei said.

Uhmmm, I don't think I can make it, I have something on later, an appointment.

Tang Xi! Where are you going after work? Weiwei asked suspiciously.

I will tell you later, I need to go back to work, Tang Xi said ending the call hurriedly.
