C10 I Met Him Again

Golden Age Hotel.

Qiao Weiyi was clad in a sky blue hoodie that concealed half of her face as she walked towards the revolving door of a hotel lobby with a frown on her face.

At the same time, a luxurious and extravagant-looking Bentley parked in front of the revolving door - the chauffeur got out from the driver's seat and went over to open the door for the man inside.

As Zhung Shiyan got out of the car elegantly, the chauffeur informed him respectfully, "Chairman Zhung, Mr. Zhou is in Room 7012."

"Alright, you can go to the nearby cafe to take a break - come back to pick me up in an hour."

Zhung Shiyan nodded slightly at his chauffeur before tidying his suit sleeves and making his way up the stairs.

He slightly turned his body to avoid colliding with a beautiful person who was walking out of the revolving door at the same time.

Qiao Weiyi couldn't help but look up and realize that it was the same handsome and charming Zhung Shiyan who had repeatedly appeared in her nightmares over the past few years - just then, she stumbled slightly and was about to fall onto the ground.

Zhung Shiyan, who'd taken notice of Qiao Weiyi, immediately reached out and wrapped his arm around the latter's waist to pull her into his embrace as soon as he realized that she was about to fall onto the ground.

Qiao Weiyi felt her forehead hit Zhung Shiyan's warm chest.

Qiao Weiyi, who'd been in a shock, had grabbed at Zhung Shiyan's suit jacket to reveal his white shirt and had accidentally pressed her lips onto it as the latter shifted.

As soon as the two of them had regained their balance, Qiao Weiyi hastily let go of Zhung Shiyan and took two steps back - when she looked up, she realized that she'd left a bright red lipstick stain on the latter's shirt.

"It's you. "

Zhung Shiyan looked at Qiao Weiyi and immediately recognized her as the woman whom he'd met at the kindergarten.

Qiao Weiyi took a deep breath and pretended not to see the lipstick stain on his shirt as she smiled at Zhung Shiyan politely and formally, "Good day, Mr. Zhung."

"Thank you for helping me earlier."

Zhung Shiyan nodded slightly at Qiao Weiyi as she greeted and thanked him.

"Alright, I'll get going first," she said, "I'll be taking my leave now - goodbye, Mr. Zhung."

"Okay. "

Zhung Shiyan couldn't help but feel his fingers tremble slightly as he watched Qiao Weiyi walk away.

For some reason, he felt the strong urge to reach out and grab Qiao Weiyi by the arm, to beg her to stay with him - just like how what he'd done to that other woman in the past.

Zhung Shiyan closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Unfortunately, Qiao Weiyi was not her - she could never be her.

...

Qiao Weiyi parked her car across Golden Age Hotel. She sat quietly in the driver's seat as she stared vacantly at the revolving door of the hotel lobby.

She'd noticed Zhung Shiyan's finger movements.

He'd always wanted to hold her hand and had always insisted that she didn't see that other man in the past - alas, she'd always been stubborn and adamant to give him a concrete response.

She couldn't believe that even her back view could trigger memories from the past.

She didn't understand why Zhung Shiyan was so persistent and affected even after all these years.

Why couldn't he seem to be able to let her go even after five years?

Qiao Weiyi heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the Golden Age Hotel after about an hour of quietly staying in her car - reporters were swarming the entrance of the hotel. It seemed that an important figure had just come out of the hotel.

"Chairman Zhung, did you come out so late to meet someone in the hotel?"

"Boss Zhung, are you here to see your lover?"

"Mr. Zhung, can you please tell us your sexual orientation? You've never been married - is it because you're gay?"

Wait!

Chairman Zhung!

Qiao Weiyi, who'd been nodding off, instantly shot up as soon as she heard this name.
