"-lin....Linlin!"

She woke up from her daze and looked directly into the eyes of her Xuanxuan, who was smiling at her.

"hm?", she had a doting smile.

Seeing that smile, ZiXuan was dazed for a second as he felt that the past her and the present her were superimposed, it felt so nostalgic. After a moment of relishing the moment, he continued saying, "I like them a lot!", he gestured towards her legs.

Linlin saw those too, and even though this is not a fairy tale and they were definitely not glass shoes, she felt that they particularly charming too....the contrast of the black heels and her milky white skin tone was beautiful but she was not thinking about that, it's just that because it was her Xuanxuan who helped her wear them, the beautifying index in her eyes shot up to the sky!

"hm..they look good. I'll buy them...", Meilin liked them a lot it seems.

Xuan stood up and gently lifted her up supporting her with an extended right arm, just like the gentleman he was....but then--

"Ah! Meilin became taller!", he exclaimed.

In normal working days, Meilin was used to wear standard 3-inch heels and came up to his shoulders but with the 5-inch ones, just a slight movement from ZiXuan and their lips will touch.

The height difference was very sensitive and ZiXuan had a mischievous light in his eyes but he knew he should control himself.

It was a bit new to Meilin too, because of the close distance, the first thing in her eye-line was his chiselled jaw and those beautiful lips, those sexy and tempting lips.

'ah'....an almost mute sigh leaked from their lips.....

It seemed like the time stopped for both of them..., but-

"Xuan-ge", a sweet and soft sound broke the lingering pink air.

Meilin was the first to break the eye contact with ZiXuan so, she missed the cold light that passed through his eyes for a second.

"Miss Elaine, Mr Qin is here as the CEO and not your cousin", she said in her thick American accent.

No one knew why she suddenly started speaking in English, well, let's just say, when she speaks in English, her other persona shows up, the one which is annoyed without reason and arrogant AF.

Qin E. Chun reflexively shivered and bowed, in a what seemed like a pitiful voice said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Qin."

She fluttered her doe-like eyes which were slightly misted, making them seem extremely adorable and sad at the same time.

Qin Mingyu was the VP of the empire but he was not at all arrogant and was the frail-beauty of an uncle. He had 2 kids, one was Elaine and the other was Qin Levi, his eldest son.

Qin Mingyu had married to his wife, who was a Russian beauty at a very young age.

So, even though he was not that old, his son was already 27 and his daughter 24.

Levi, as his name, had the regal aura of a lion with his platinum-blonde mane and was also in the list of the World's Sexiest men along with Qin ZiXuan and was actually on a higher position than ZiXuan, he was an active supermodel and also the current face of his sister's adventure QE.

In contrast to his sunny and bright and masculine aura, Elaine has always been the frail beauty type with a genteel demure but sexy body, which always created a contrast and hence a lot of attention, mind you, her body was not 'vulgar' but slightly leaned into the voluptuous range, courtesy her mother, who was a model from Russia.

Elaine, had thick black hair, just like her father and defined features, an epitome of picture-perfect!

She was a bit shorter than Meilin but was still above the average Asian height for females, as a model she was loved by both the sexes over a wide age group, she also topped the list of "National Wife" on many occasions!

But as a Qin, she was too soft and weak, but then again as another princess of the Qins, it was her privilege too.

She was the opposite of Meilin in every way, that means, she was well liked by the general staff too.

Seeing those, about-to-cry look, the staff felt very bad, and if not for the status quota, they would have hurled abuses at the 'demoness' for making their goddess cry!

Meilin remained unfazed and ZiXuan just glanced at her...well, it was their character default.

Elaine never wanted to actually cry, it's just that, she had a personality disposition which was easy to cry, even at the slightest change in tone or loud voice, she was quick to tears.

Meilin was aware of her upbringing and didn't take offence in how she reacted, but the world was not that forgiving…

The workers in the shop felt a sudden surge of annoyance towards Meilin's behaviour, but because of the difference in their status they could only put on an annoyed appearance, Meilin was someone who lived by her own standards and didn't care about what the world thought about her, she easily ignored how the staff treated her but that didn't mean ZiXuan could….

ZiXuan was someone who put her dignity at the top of his priorities, as such, he turned towards Elaine and directly stated, "Ms Qin, it seems your staff need more training…we'll go along with the plan, but it would be better to get better staff or, the Qins' won't be able to back you up", saying this he directly walked up to the counter and put his Black Card to pay for whatever Meilin was wearing and holding and because he knew that Meilin will definitely follow him out, he walked away with the package he was holding and made his way to the penthouse.
