Chapter 84 - Horrifying Thoughts

Li Qin Yao glanced towards the man beside her but stopped herself once she realized what she was about to do. What if she got caught checking him out? That was dangerous!

She leaned back on the seat and looked out the window. Though the scenery in B City was pretty, Li Qin Yao did not have the chance to appreciate it. Her thought was somewhere else.

Li Qin Yao could not deny that although she did not know Zhang Yu Han for too long, she did find it comfortable with him around. He might look a bit cold with his unsmiling face, but she could tell that he had a warm heart.

If he had suddenly told her that he liked her, there might be a chance that she might consider him. But that might have something to do with the fact that he had that deep, low voice that seemed to enchant her whenever she heard it.

Wait. What?

There was a horrifying expression on her face at the moment. Li Qin Yao was astonished over her thought. She could feel her face grew warm. At that moment, Li Qin Yao was cursing Han Yue Xiu in her heart for leading his thought in this way.

Unable to bear the long silence between them, Li Qin Yao opened her mouth to speak, but just before she could say anything, the man beside him had cut her off.

"We should be arriving soon. Let's discuss everything once we arrive."

Li Qin Yao swallowed before she turned to look out of the window. Since he was not eager to engage in a conversation with her, doesn't that mean that he was not 'that' into her? Perhaps she was overthinking things after Han Yue Xiu's words the other day.

As that thought crossed her mind, Li Qin Yao tilted her head down and wished that she could bury herself into the ground. She was embarrassed by her thoughts.

She didn't know where she should hide her face if Zhang Yu Han knew what was going on in her mind.

But…

Is she ready to start dating? How long has it been since she broke up with Chen Hao? Slightly over two months?

Suddenly, Li Qin Yao began to think that perhaps, she was moving on too fast to even think of a new relationship. Moreover, she still was not sure of how she felt and Zhang Yu Han had not said anything that hinted towards that direction.

In the end, Li Qin Yao decided to leave everything to fate. It was too early to think about this relationship matter when she was unsure of her heart. If there comes a day when she found herself falling in love again, then, she will think of this matter again. Taking a deep breath, Li Qin Yao pushed the matter to the back of her mind.

A few minutes later, with her navigation, the vehicle arrived at the site. Li Qin Yao took a deep breath after experiencing that suffocating feeling she had while sharing the same space with Zhang Yu Han.

Li Qin Yao looked up when she heard footsteps coming towards her.

"Miss Li, you've arrived," Liang Sheng nodded politely to her. Then, he glanced at Zhang Yu Han with an inquiring gaze.

"Right. Liang Sheng, this is Mister Zhang from Zhang Group Worldwide. Mister Zhang, this is Liang Sheng, my assistant," Li Qin Yao introduced.

Zhang Yu Han's expression brightened when he was introduced to Liang Sheng. Turns out that Wei Jun Hao was wrong. Liang Sheng was not another potential rival, but Li Qin Yao's assistant. He then reminded himself to tell Wei Jun Hao about this.

"Mister Zhang, good morning." Liang Sheng nodded politely.

"Liang Sheng will show you around this site," Li Qin Yao said.

Zhang Yu Han paused. "What about you?"

"Of course, I will be coming along," Li Qin Yao said. "We can discuss this cooperation as we walk around this area. If you have any questions, you can just ask me."

A smile appeared on his lips. Zhang Yu Han had thought that Li Qin Yao was going to leave him to Liang Sheng. If he had to walk around the site with another guy, he would rather send Wei Jun Hao to look at the area for him. After all, he only made a trip to B City to meet with Li Qin Yao.

The three of them walked around the site and Liang Sheng explained their plan as they walked around. Because the area is too large, they only covered the area which will be a part of the first phase of development. Then, the three of them spent a few hours to discuss the project. Before they knew it, it was already passed noon.

Liang Sheng excused himself and headed to the office to deal with a few documents, leaving Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yu Han alone.

"Are you heading to your office too?"

Li Qin Yao shook her head. "Mister Zhang, didn't I promise to treat you for a meal? If you're free, why don't we have lunch together? B City is not only famous for its historical sites, but they are also famous for culinary tourism. I know a few good places around here."

"Since you will be treating, how can I decline?" Zhang Yu Han said. "Then perhaps, we could continue our discussion during lunch."

"Then, Mister Zhang. Do you have any preferences? Or allergies?"

Zhang Yu Han shook his head. "I'm alright with anything."

"How do you feel about Sichuan cuisine?"

"I can deal with spicy food."

At this moment, he did not care about the food. As long as he got to spend his time with this girl even a little more, then, he was willing to go anywhere.

Zhang Yu Han helped to open the door for Li Qin Yao and soon, drive to an area. He recalled that he had previously met Li Qin Yao and her friend at a basketball court not too far from the place. Zhang Yu Han parked his car and the two of them walked to a Sichuan restaurant.

Because they did not have any reservation and the private rooms were all occupied, Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yu Han picked a spot further into the restaurant. They ordered some food and began to eat. True to what Zhang Yu Han had said, the two continued to discuss the matter regarding their cooperation.

Zhang Yu Han was trying his best to made their conversation revolved around their cooperation because he did not want to make Li Qin Yao uncomfortable if he started to ask a few personal questions. However, because of this, Li Qin Yao was assured that Zhang Yu Han was not interested in her.

Once they finished their lunch, Zhang Yu Han offered to sent her back to her office. However, as the two of them walked out of the restaurant, Li Qin Yao happened to run into two familiar faces.

It was Chen Hao and Tang Ai Ling.
