When Ling Yiheng came out of the airport, it was already night time in Ming City.

The wide road was blocked by passing cars, and the red taillights were flickering in a spectacular way.

He rubbed his forehead, glad that he had parked his car in the parking lot near the airport. If he had let Zhou Heng pick up the car, he would have been stuck on the road.

He had just walked to the parking lot, opened the door, and got in when the phone rang.

The caller ID was Mika.

He hadn't forgotten to have dinner with Mika and her aunt. When he thought of this, he felt irritated. He hesitated for a moment but still picked up the phone.

"Hey, big brother Yi Heng? Are you out of the airport now? Do you want me to come over and pick you up? " It was Mika's soft, sweet voice on the other end, full of concern for him.

"No need, I'll drive myself." "Where are you?"

"Oh, we're about to leave."

"Alright, then we'll meet directly at the place."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yiheng looked out the window. The cool night wind blew in through the window and caressed his face. He could smell the faint scent of irises in the air, most likely from the flower shop near the airport.

After about 40 minutes, his car stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant. The moment he got off the car, a waiter came over to help him park the car.

Mika had arrived a quarter of an hour earlier and was sitting in a corner, waiting for him.

Ling Yiheng walked towards her, but only saw her, so he asked, "You didn't come with your aunt?"

"Oh, my aunt. She has been called out by a friend for some matters. She wants us to eat first. There's no need to wait for her."

Ling Yiheng nodded indifferently, and didn't say anything.

"I told you about this restaurant last time, but you were too busy at work. We didn't get the chance to come here until today." It's not for this restaurant, it's for him.

The two of them had eaten very little together for so long, so she treasured it every time.

Ling Yiheng didn't say anything, but just listened quietly.

"Oh yeah, there's something I want to discuss with you."

She suddenly became serious, which made Ling Yiheng a little uncomfortable. He looked at her and gestured for her to continue.

She had thought she was going to say something between the two of them, but instead she offered to work for the L. Force Group.

"You're coming to L. Force?" He thought he had heard wrongly.

Although L. Force was a company many people dreamed of, with Mika's family background, not to mention whether he would agree with her, her parents and aunts would probably want her back home to help with the business.

"Well, yes, I'll be back in Ming City by the time I graduate, and going to L. Force has always been my dream. Big brother Yi Heng, please satisfy me. I think I should be able to be an assistant or something, right? "

Obviously, she meant well. He knew what she was planning, but he couldn't bear to refuse her.

He tapped the table with his index finger and said lightly, "I will not interfere with the HR Department's recruitment. If you want to work, you have to rely on your own ability to do so."

These words weren't a rejection, but they didn't express his support.

But this attitude is enough for Mika. As for applying, she was still confident that with her professional ability, she would definitely be able to get an offer and successfully get a job with L. Force.

"Then, I'll celebrate my work in advance!" She clapped her hands vigorously, as if she was determined to get it.

Ling Yiheng didn't want to splash her with cold water, so he just silently looked at the menu.

Not to mention that the company does not have many recruitment plans this year, and the threshold for new graduates who do not have much work experience is extremely high. In fact, if she didn't have to go through the back door, it would be difficult for her to think of L. Force.

"What's wrong? "Yi Heng, don't you want to see me working at your company?" Mika asked with a smile when he didn't speak.

Ling Yiheng looked at her, then looked at Mika, who was dressed in the casual European and American style attire. Her bright eyes were moving, and her makeup was exquisite. This kind of girl had an extraordinary family background and education. Many men would come looking for her.

However, he was not one of those men.

Ever since he had become sensible, all sorts of beauties had surrounded him. All of them were extremely amorous, but none of them moved his heart.

With Mika, he had always thought of her as his sister. However, he once thought that they could cultivate a couple as well.

However, all of this, after encountering Zuo Zixian, he could no longer continue to maintain this relationship with her.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to give up their relationship, she got closer and even started working for L. Force.

If it wasn't for his mother's illness, he would have wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible. If this continued, it would be unfair to her, and it wouldn't be good for him either.

"Why aren't you talking?" asked Mika.

There were a lot of thoughts in her eyes, but she was careful not to show them. She had actually already planned to work at his company. Furthermore, Ruan Qianyi had already told her about it.

The reason she told him this was actually to test out his reaction.

However, it seemed like she would eventually be disappointed.

Ling Yiheng let out a sigh unconsciously, "Mika, your parents should actually want you to go back to your own company to work."

Letting her go to L. Force would only make things more complicated, and everyone would think that their marriage was a foregone conclusion.

"It's alright! I believe they will understand. They have always been very supportive of me. " She didn't seem to care.

Furthermore, in Mika's mind, she had always placed Ling Yunheng at the top of her list. As long as she could be with him, the rest would be left behind.

Ling Yiheng knitted his brows. He did not respond to her words, but a wry smile appeared in his heart.

He could not help but think of Zuo Zixian. He had already heard from Zhou Heng that she had retired from the hotel and returned to France. He hadn't seen her since that day at the office.

He wouldn't have let her go so easily if it hadn't been for the business trip. He didn't know how she was doing, or if the matter at the winery was really being handled smoothly.

He knew that if he hadn't taken the initiative to look for her, with that woman's personality, she definitely wouldn't have looked for him. But, there wasn't even a single message from her on the phone, yet it still caused him to feel slightly disappointed.

She didn't even have a word of safety, as if they were strangers.

While he was lost in his own thoughts, the waiter walked over with a tray.

The meal was very quiet, almost only the clinking of cutlery could be heard.

Mika pretended to be focused on eating, but in reality, her eyes were quietly watching Ling Yiheng from the corner of her eye. From his perfect face, to his beautiful white neck, to his pair of delicate hands, which were like a piece of art. Until she met him, she had never known she could be so infatuated with someone.

Since she was a child, she had always been the center of attention. She was surrounded by many people, and there was no lack of suitors. However, she had never liked anyone.

During his sophomore year, his parents met Ling Yiheng's mother for business reasons. Back then, the L. Force Corporation wasn't as famous as it was now, and was still managed by Ruan Qianyi. Since Ruan Qian and his aunt were close friends, they naturally became familiar with each other.

At that time, it was already the last year of his master's degree and he was close to graduation.

She remembered one day, late with some friends, when his aunt had asked him to come pick her up, they had both witnessed a car accident on the road and had been stuck on the suburban road for two hours.

In those two hours, when she was so close to him, it was also the first time she had been tempted by him.

He fell asleep in the car because he had to deal with his graduation thesis and was busy with company matters.

Even when she looked at his sleeping visage, she couldn't even breathe. She could only foolishly stare at his clean and handsome face. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. It didn't even belong to her anymore.

But in the end, when the police took care of things, they woke him up when the police car blew its whistle, so she didn't continue to admire his sleeping appearance.

That was when she fell in love with him.

That was why, when Aunt Nguyen and Aunt Nguyen had asked for their engagement, she had agreed without hesitation. She had almost come to the city to get a master's degree for him, and it was her mother who had persuaded her several times to go to Boston.

That night, Luo Yunjie didn't show up. Mika's excuse was that her friend was in trouble and she couldn't come over, but Ling Yiheng knew very well that this was just the time Luo Yunjie had created for them to be alone.

After dinner, he left the restaurant. The waiter who was driving his car had already brought his car over.

Ling Yiheng took out a few bills from his wallet and gave them a tip. He then heard Mika say, "Yi-heng gege, I'm going back to Boston in a few days to take my graduation exam. Can you take me for a walk? Is this considered relaxing before the exam? "

Ling Yiheng was very clear that she was still a few months away from graduation. It was still too early to relax before the exam, this was undoubtedly inviting him to a date.

However, right now, he didn't have the mood to accompany her. Thus, he said that he still had matters to attend to at the company and that it was inconvenient for him to play with her.

A look of disappointment flashed in Mika's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile, telling him to wait until he had time.

He walked her home and watched her go through the door before he drove away.

As she watched his car drive away, Mika thought to herself, "There's a long way to go."
