Chapter 59 - Flirty Texts

Hearing his phone buzz, Han Xi Long's eyes sparkled with excitment. He had been waiting a while for a response, either she had kept her phone or chose to ignore his text. Though if he thought about it carefully, judging by the time she could have easily been eating and knowing her that's what kept her from responding. It was pure fact that his Kitten was a glutton, he had to ensure that he was business went well in order to be able to afford feeding her. He could imagine going on several dates and baiting her into coming purely based off the cuisine or restaurant. In this city alone he had 5 places he would love to take her that were his personal favourites. She enjoyed spicy food so he could have the chefs even cater to her taste. 'Ahh my mood's lifting just thinking about it.' The added bonus of watching her lips swell from the heat and using his mouth to cool it was too tempting.

Picking up his phone he unlocked it to see a new message notification on his screen. Clicking the app he opened their conversation and saw her response - "new number, who's this?" A deadpan expression dropped onto his face as he saw the message she sent. 'Of all things, what is this fake reply.' It was obvious she was trying to suss out the other person and get them to volunteer their identity first. That phrase was often used by people to either ignore or inquire about a person. Now the only question was how he was going to respond. Should I just tell her it was him? Or tease her? But if he teased her she would know it was him either way? I mean, he should be the only one sending her flirty messages. A possessive anger fleeted through him quickly as he tried to stop his thoughts from going there. If another man dared to message his Kitten he would have to eliminate him. Focusing at his phone he stared at the the screen for 5 minutes trying to formulate a sentence.

Putting his phone down he picked up his work line and direct called Shufen.

"Boss, do you have any orders?"

"If someone texted you << new number who's this?>> what would you say?"

"....what? Um sorry, to confirm you want a response to - new number who's this?"

"Yes."

"Well Boss assuming it is the lady boss I would comment on the new number? As I'm assuming that you would not want to reveal your identity immediately."

"Hmm...take an additional bonus this month." Hanging up the phone he laughed as he could hear the panic in Shufen's voice when he asked for his advice. He didn't even have to mention any details for him to know his recipient and intention. They had been together so long that it was not suprising that he knew so much about him. Even though he was his secretary he was his close friend that he loved teasing. It was hard to control himself when he saw him freak out inwardly. He kept a blank face but it was easy to reas him after the years like he could to do him. The rumors were true when they said the secretary's were the gatekeepers to the their boss's secrets, they knew everything.

Picking up the phone again he settled on a vague and confusing answer and clicked send. 'Ahh Kitten this will be fun.'

Hearing her phone vibrate Jiang Ying Yue picked up her phone and read the incoming text.

'New number? I haven't changed your contact info since we last talked.' Her face scrunched in confusion from the message. Last time we talked??? She had not talked to anyone through this phone that she did not know of their number by heart. Judging by the message it seemed that it was a mistake.

Opening her keyboard she typed a response and clicked send. 'Sorry? I believe you have the wrong number.'

She put her phone down and expected the conversation to end but almost immediately she heard a vibration from the table. Unlocking the phone she saw a new text under the unknown number. It read, "No, I don't this is the right number." 'Aiyo why is this person being so annoying.'

Typing a denial into her phone she wrote "No you don't. Who are you looking for?" and sent it. Sitting down on her couch she kept her phone in her hand, she could feel that something was wrong with this unknown number. Could it be Ming Ming or Neo messaging her for fun? Or for revenge cause she had fried chicken without them? She wouldn't put it past them completely if that was the truth. It was weird to her that someone was reading and responding so quickly to her, it meant that they were holding their phone and awaiting her reply. Her phone buzzed again with a response.

"You."

"Who is me?"

"You is you. Did you perhaps lose your memory to not remember your name?"

"I know my name but you do not know mine, you have the wrong number."

"I have the right number and I know your name." At this point Ying Yue was starting to get annoyed and alert. They could just be a troll but if they knew her name then it was concerning. "What is my name and who are you??"

"Your name? I didn't know we were on a first name basis....who am I? I'm yours." 'This piece of shit.' She could feel her blood pressure rise talking to this person, it was definitely a man because of the irritation she felt. She had her doubts but the final line of the message gave her clarity. When did this man even get her number??? It would not be hard to guess that he had taken the moment where she was outside and had left her phone in her room to steal her number. A pulse of anger went through her as she thought of him invading her privacy.

"How dare you sneak into my phone and steal my number. Who the f.u.c.k do you think you are."

"Aw Kitten you ruined it, I thought we could keep the mystery going and again you know who I am. I'm yours, feel free to add my number with that as my name or the big bad wolf whichever works for you."

"I'm blocking you."

"Ah Kitten you won't and can't block me."

"And why won't I?"

"Because you're mine Kitten and you can't block what belongs to me."
