Chapter 19 - Visiting Her Cafe

Although Zhang Yu Han had told Wei Jun Hao that he had decided not to pursue Li Qin Yao, Zhang Yu Han could not stop himself from trying to get close to her. This was why he had chosen to appear at Wei Jun Hao's party a few nights ago.

When he showed up at Wei Jun Hao's birthday party, Zhang Yu Han had thought that he would be satisfied if he could catch a glimpse of Li Qin Yao. When he met her face to face and got the chance to hold her hand for a few seconds, Zhang Yu Han was in cloud nine. He had never experienced the feeling. Thus, it took him a while before he released her hand. It seemed that going to Wei Jun Hao's stupid party was not a waste at all.

Imagine his delight when he met Li Qin Yao again at the restaurant where he was having dinner with his grandfather. It was as if heaven was giving him a sign so that he will not give up on her. That was why Zhang Yu Han has been pacing back and forth in front of her cafe for almost ten minutes. Once in a while, he would stop to peek into the cafe only to find that Li Qin Yao was not around.

A part of him was disappointed that he could not see her, while another part of him was relieved. Even if he met her now, he would not know what to say to her.

Just as Zhang Yu Han was about to give up and head back to Y City, a familiar voice greeted him. He turned around and froze when he saw Li Qin Yao headed towards him.

"It is you, Mr. Zhang," Li Qin Yao greeted. Her lips curved into a polite smile as she watched him with a puzzling gaze.

Zhang Yu Han shifted the weight between his feet. He tensed when the girl he was waiting for caught him pacing around as if he was a stalker. The tense faded in a second and his pupil shrunk when he noticed the man behind Li Qin Yao.

Li Qin Yao noticed his sight shifted and turned around. Her lips curved into a smile when she saw Chen Hao beside her. Chen Hao whispered something to Li Qin Yao, gave a light peck on her cheek, and turned around to leave.

After her boyfriend left, Li Qin Yao turned to look at Zhang Yu Han's surrounding and smiled. "What are you doing acting suspiciously here? Are you here to visit my cafe? Why didn't you go in?"

Zhang Yu Han inserted one hand into his pocket and spoke. "I was supposed to meet a friend. Just now, I was checking to see if he has arrived."

Li Qin Yao thought about it for a while. "Your friend, Mr. Wei?" When he nodded, Li Qin Yao went to the door and swung it open. "If that's the case, then you should wait for him outside and have a drink."

Zhang Yu Han stared at the door, then at the girl who was holding the door for him. After a few seconds of hesitation, he entered the cafe. Once Li Qin Yao ushered him to his seat, Zhang Yu Han took out his phone and sent a text to Wei Jun Hao, asking him to come over right away.

Just as he put down his phone, Li Qin Yao appeared again with a menu on her hand. She slid the menu towards him and asked, "Do you want anything to drink?"

"Just get me a cup of Americano," Zhang Yu Han said as he glanced at the drink section.

"How about something to eat?" Li Qin Yao asked. Before the man could open his mouth and decline, she spoke again, "Your friend, Mr. Wei seemed to love our Chicken Sandwich."

"Good," Zhang Yu Han answered absentmindedly. When he started to question himself why would he order Wei Jun Hao's favorite food, the girl had disappeared behind the counter to keyed in his order. Zhang Yu Han could only sigh. He would glance at his phone once in a while.

When Wei Jun Hao walked into the cafe, a waitress had just placed down a cup of coffee in front of Zhang Yu Han.

"You're early," Zhang Yu Han commented as he glanced at his watch.

Wei Jun Hao clicked his tongue. "Didn't you say I should come over ASAP? You're lucky that I have business around here, or else, I wouldn't be able to come this soon." Wei Jun Hao lifted his head and smiled at the waitress. "Hi. Can I get a cup of Americano too? Thank you."

Zhang Yu Han frowned as the waitress walked away.

"Right," Wei Jun Hao leaned forward and spoke in a hushed voice. "Why do you need me here? Do I need to act as a wingman?"

"What wingman? Would I even need your help if I was going to court someone? Do you think I'm that bad?" Zhang Yu Han looked at his friend with displeased.

Wei Jun Hao laughed. "Of course. After all, you're inexperienced."

Zhang Yu Han rolled his eyes. "Don't be ridiculous. I'm heading to the Capital City in two days. I called you over to discuss some work-related things." He noticed the way his friend was looking at him with skepticism. However, he disregarded the way Wei Jun Hao was looking at him and continued, "Mister Lu will visit the hotel to discuss some insurance policy next Monday. I hope that you can show up in my stead."

Just as Zhang Yu Han finished, Li Qin Yao appeared by their side with an Americano for Wei Jun Hao and a Chicken sandwich. "Enjoy your meal," Li Qin Yao said before she walked away.

Wei Jun Hao frowned as he watched the girl walked away. Then he turned to Zhang Yu Han and spoke, "Why do I feel that she's giving you a strange look? Did you offend her when I was not around?"
