Chapter 151 - A Surprise Visit

Back in Y City,

Li Qin Yao was seen walking out of Han Yue Xiu's apartment. She grabbed a taxi, gave her destination to the driver and gave Han Yue Xiu a call.

Once the call was connected, the two friends exchanged a brief greeting before Li Qin Yao reported that she had done what Han Yue Xiu asked her to do.

"Yao Yao, thank you," Han Yue Xiu said. "When I return, I'll treat you something delicious."

Li Qin Yao laughed as she was reminded of the few times where Han Yue Xiu wanted to treat her to a meal, but in the end, something would happen in Han Yue Xiu's end.

"When are you planning to return?"

"Probably after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Right," Li Qin Yao spoke as she recalled something. "Yue Xiu, when I picked up your stuff from the company, I heard from the others that your former boss, Song Yi had sold the company. Do you know about this?"

There was a long silence in Han Yue Xiu's part. "No," she spoke in almost a whisper. She cleared her throat and spoke again. "Anyway, I haven't seen that man around for a few weeks."

Han Yue Xiu frowned. The last time she had seen Song Yi, she had told him not to disturb her again and he had obediently disappeared from her life.

The two friends continued to chat until the taxi reached to The Orchid, a luxury hotel belong to Zhang's group. Li Qin Yao paid for her fare and entered the building.

Once the bellboy noticed her, his eyes widened and he hurriedly helped to open the door with a polite smile. He gave a signal to the girl who sat behind the counter and that girl immediately rushed to help Li Qin Yao find her way to the Director's office.

Li Qin Yao watched the girl speechlessly.

Was this appropriate? Shouldn't she asked if she had made an appointment with their Director before she let her into the elevator? Was the security around the hotel was that bad?

Soon, the news that the Director's girlfriend had come to visit the hotel spread like wildfire among the employees. Some of them left their desk for a while to peek at the Director's legendary girlfriend.

When Li Qin Yao arrived at Zhang Yu Han's floor, Secretary Tian was already waiting for her in front of the elevator. Li Qin Yao stepped out and smiled.

"Is Director Zhang's here?"

"He's in the office," Secretary Tian said as she led Li Qin Yao to Zhang Yu Han's office. "Assistant Huo had told me that you would be coming to visit today. But Miss Li, don't worry. I did not say a word to Director Zhang."

Li Qin Yao smiled. "Thank you, Secretary Tian. Right. I don't know if it was just me, but why do I feel as if everyone here was looking at me strangely?"

Secretary Tian laughed. "I hope you wouldn't mind them too much, Miss Li. They were simply curious."

"Curious? Of what?"

"Of you, of course." Secretary Tian saw the surprised in Li Qin Yao's face and quickly explained. "It was rare for us to see Director Zhang with a woman. Since the last time you came here, news that Director Zhang's girlfriend came to visit the hotel had spread among the employees."

Li Qin Yao stared at Secretary Tian speechlessly. The last time that she came to the hotel, the two of them were not in a relationship yet. But it seemed that the hotel staff had already thought of her as his girlfriend?

It was no wonder that the girl at the front desk had voluntarily led her up here.

However, this new information made her embarrassed.

The two of them chatted for a while and soon, arrived in front of Zhang Yu Han's office.

"Miss Li, would you like anything to drink?"

"It's fine. I will tell you if I need anything."

Secretary Tian nodded. "Then Miss Li, you can just knock on Director Zhang's door." She smiled and continued. "I will leave first."

Li Qin Yao watched as Secretary Tian turned around before she knocked on the door three times. There was a brief silence before Zhang Yu Han's low and magnetic voice could be heard behind the closed door.

"Come in."

Li Qin Yao entered the office, closed the door behind her and stood there to watch Zhang Yu Han from her distance. He had his head tilted down as he studied the documents on the table and did not see her. Seeing the way he was focusing on his work, the corner of her lips tilted up to a smile.

After a minute of silence, Zhang Yu Han finally noticed that something does not feel right. Usually, his secretary would say something when she walked in. Zhang Yu Han raised his head and was surprised to see Li Qin Yao stood at the door with a smile on her face.

Zhang Yu Han stared at her in a daze as he wondered if he was imagining things. When he heard the sound of her soft laugh, he was finally sure that the girl in front of him was not an illusion.

Li Qin Yao walked forward and stopped midway. "Are you busy?"

Zhang Yu Han glanced at the clock and frowned. He was planning to clock out early and head over to B City to find his girlfriend. But it looked like she had come to find him first.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yu Han asked.

"I came to run a few errands for Yue Xiu. Since I'm in Y City, I decided to come over and find you. Grandfather said you should be in the office at this time." Li Qin Yao paused and looked at him hesitantly. "Are you not happy?"

"Of course I'm happy," Zhang Yu Han stood up hurriedly and walked over to his girlfriend. He held both her hands and pulled her over to give a peck on her lips. "I wanted to come over to look for you later today. But here you are."

"I just realized that I have never taken the initiative to find you first."

"It's fine." Zhang Yu Han continued to stare at her and teased, "Miss Li, did you come over to check on me?"

Li Qin Yao laughed. After thinking about it for a bit, she nodded. "Un. As your girlfriend, shouldn't I come over for a surprise visit to check on you?" Feeling that the smile on her face would not disappear, Li Qin Yao lowered her head. "But of course, Zhang Yu Han, right now you have my complete trust. So, I hope you won't betray it."

Hearing her words, Zhang Yu Han felt something sweet bubbling in his heart. "Of course," He put a hand on her waist, and another on her cheek before he bent down to kiss her again. This time, the kiss was longer.

"Wait for me for a while," Zhang Yu Han said once he pulled away. "Once I finished with my work, let's go for dinner together."
