Reincarnation Businesswoman: Miraculous Hand Space Hunting the Major - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Don’t Call my Name

Xu Zihang could admit that he liked the girl in front of him, but before his feelings towards her, he was respectful and loyal to the girl.

He had seen the girl’s clean and decisive skills, and her passion that thought for the brothers—behind her cold mask. In the rundown private house base, they had put in their sweat and achieved success. They shared happiness, and a lot of times and memories together; every second and every minute etched into his heart.

Until this day, the girl had already become the boss of the Night Gang; she was the center of the crowd and the person to whom all the brothers were loyal. Unknowingly, even he was proud of their organization.

It was selfish of Xu Zihang for exposing his identity at such an event. He wanted to prove his confidence and showed his capabilities to let the girl know that he was worthy of standing next to her. However, when he saw the girl’s light gaze, he knew that he had done something wrong. He was wrong when he first started to hide the truth from her.

Last night, he tossed and turned for the entire night and wondered if he should talk to the girl about this.

How should he continue on with his future?

“Song Ye, I’m standing here because I’m determined.” His gaze revealed the determination he had never shown before. The youngster’s cool face was stern and solemn as he said ever so seriously. “No matter what kind of challenges we face in the future, I will never betray the brothers or you. Believe me this once. I’ll prove it to you.”

Believe me this once. I’ll prove it to you.

Song Ye had once heard this statement before at the river in winter. The youngster’s face was swollen, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he swore that he would follow her. Back then, she felt that the youngster was like a green shepherd, similar to how she was back then. The later nod allowed them to spend the winter together.

Up till this day, the youngster had changed his identity but said the same words.

Song Ye stared at him as her icy cold gaze shook, and there were traces of her wavering. Then, she lightly stood up and walked towards the door. The moment she placed her hand on the handle, she heard her own voice. “Xu Zihang, remember what you said today. Also…

“Don’t call me by my name anymore.”

For a very long time, Xu Zihang stood at the same spot and did not move. He watched the empty door as if the outside wind had blown into his heart chambers and gave him a chill. However, it also felt like it was a boiling metal that burned his heart.

He was very happy—elated that Song Ye trusted him again, but tears welled up. He knew that taking away the right to call her name meant that he could never stand next to her for the rest of his life.

When Zhao Zhen followed Song Ye out of the room, he still could not understand the situation back in the room. Seeing how harsh Song Ye was with Xu Zihang, he could not take it anymore. “Song Ye, Young Master Xu might have hidden his identity from you, but he has a great personality. As the saying goes, there’s no difference in wealth when making friends. Don’t be too angry.” If other people knew that their friend was the mayor’s son, they would have cozied up to them immediately; only a strange person like Song Ye would get angry.

Of course, the words that he could not say were understood by Song Ye just by looking at his face filled with conflict. Just that, based on Zhao Zhen’s personality, he could be a tactful businessman. However, he could not know too much so Song Ye had no intention of telling him about the Night Gang.

Thus, she did not further explain about Xu Zihang.

Zhao Zhen thought that she was still angry so he sighed soundlessly behind. When they reached the elevator entrance, the door opened; and the man wearing a white suit was shocked. Immediately, he laughed. “What a coincidence, fella.”

Song Ye raised her head and saw two bodyguards protecting Qu Bai walk out. The man reeked of romance and would not have a lack of affairs no matter where he went. However, at this point, he was more interested in Song Ye.

“Master Qu, we meet again.” Hurriedly, Zhao Zhen went forward and greeted him as he was afraid that the angry Song Ye would pull a long face at him.

Qu Bai lifted his eyebrows and smiled at Zhao Zhen. “Seems like CEO Zhao thinks very highly of your nephew and would bring him around to participate in events. Last night, I heard that this nephew of yours has some credits in making your business a success.”

Zhao Zhen felt a pang in his heart and was scolding Wang Yutang for being so talkative. On the surface, he shook his head and said, “The kid just likes new things. When I come for events, he will yell that he wants to come along so I brought him with me.”

Skillfully, he successfully evaded the topic but did not manage to trick Qu Bai. No matter how they looked at it, Song Ye—with her face of coldness—did not look like someone who would throw a tantrum.

However, Qu Bai also casually lied to him; he did not really find out information about Song Ye. If not, he would not have continued to think that Song Ye was a boy.

“Uncle Zhao, let’s go eat. I’m hungry.” Song Ye spoke from Zhao Zhen’s back and had no intention of interacting with the peacock in front of her. Once she saw Qu Bai, she thought of how Qin Zhan took advantage of her the day before.

However, she did not want to ignore him but could not stop Qu Bai’s interest in her. Zhao Zhen really wanted to bid farewell, but Qu Bai suddenly invited them. “If CEO Zhao doesn’t mind, let’s eat together. Our afternoon’s schedule is the same.”

“This…” Zhao Zhen was in a difficult position and wanted to look at Song Ye instinctively, but when he remembered that they were uncle and nephew, it would arouse suspicion if he asked for Song Ye’s approval. Hence, he nodded. “Then, I need to thank Master Qu.”

Finally, Song Ye sat back in the room at Tian Xin Pavilion and ate the delicacies of this top restaurant. To Song Ye who had a very high expectation of food, the dishes at Tian Xin Pavilion were worth its price.

When they were halfway through their meal, Qu Bai looked over and smiled at Song Ye. “You look like you’re very particular about food. It seems like you frequent such places. Next time, if I go to Cloud City, I’ll have a good guide.”

Song Ye’s fingers stopped for a while before she continued picking at the fish in front of her undisturbed. “I just follow Uncle Zhao around to get food and drinks. If I’m too rude, I’ll embarrass Uncle Zhao.” As the saying goes, ‘birds of the same feather flock together’. None of the friends around Qin Zhan were useless as he could infer something from the way she ate. This made her hard to swallow when she was enjoying good food.

“Hehe, I’m so amused every time I see you.” Qu Bai smiled ambiguously. When he thought of the murderous aura around the youngster near the bar’s entrance, the smile in his eyes deepened.

“Previously, Master Qu helped us solve our problem and later kept on giving Yu Fu Jewelry’s business. I’ve always wanted to find a chance to thank Master Qu. Today, I’ll have a toast with you to express my gratitude.” Zhao Zhen stood up and raised his glass, skillfully blocking Qu Bai’s investigative gaze. The young master of the Qu family was very famous for his flirtatious affairs; although Song Ye was young, she was very pretty. If Qu Bai found out that she was a girl, there would be big trouble.

Qu Bai held up his glass to toast back before talking about the main topic of the meal. “The jades that I bought from Yu Fu Jewelry the previous few times were pretty good. I believe CEO Zhao has an eye for good gems. I was wondering if you had set your eyes on any of the materials in this event. I would like to book it in advance.”
