Chapter 55: I’m Going On a Date
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Zheng’s face turned red from her teasing, and he was too embarrassed to speak.
Lin Xiaowan continued to tease him, “Brother, why are you ignoring me? It’s Valentine’s Day today, and I miss you so much. Don’t you miss me?”
Huo Zheng took a deep breath before he ended the call.
Huo Zheng had never hung up on Lin Xiaowan before, whether it was this life or her previous life. This was a first.
Lin Xiaowan could not help but laugh. She quickly called Gu Yuwu and told Gu Yuwu that she would not be going to the set today.
Gu Yuwu was not surprised at all. “I was wondering about this before when you told me that you were going to the set on Valentine’s Day. As it turns out, you forgot.”
Lin Xiaowan remembered that Gu Yuwu was a married person so she asked curiously, “What about you? Are you going to the set on Valentine’s Day?”
Gu Yuwu glanced at the dog in human form staring at her before she said in a helpless tone, “Yes, but my husband followed me to the set. I’ll be leaving early.”
When Lin Xiaowan finally ended the call, she saw that she had missed a call from Huo Zheng. He probably called back after seeing there was no reaction from her after he hung up on her. Apart from a missed call, there was also a message from him.
[Huo Zheng: Who are you talking to? Are you going out today?]
[Lin Xiaowan: I want to watch a movie with you. Don’t rent out the entire theatre. Let’s buy couple seats and watch it with a group of people…]
Lin Xiaowan rarely watched movies with Huo Zheng. She had only watched movies with him a few times, and she discovered that he was not very interested in watching movies. Whether it was a horror movie, a romantic movie, or a comedic movie, he did not have much of a reaction. His expression remained serious throughout the movie as though he was watching some serious documentary. Not only that, but they mostly watched movies in private theatres or in their home theatre. The atmosphere was different from watching it in a cinema. Apart from that, it was tragically funny when she tried to discuss the plot with him. For all these reasons, she rarely asked him to watch a movie with her.
After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Xiaowan sent another message.
[Lin Xiaowan: I’ll buy the tickets. You’re unreliable, and I don’t trust you to do it.]
This was the first time Huo Zheng was called unreliable. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he agreed to her request. After that, he called his assistant and secretary and told them to put the documents away, which were just handed over to him, away.
The assistant thought that Huo Zheng had already finished going through the documents so he said, “The general manager of Tuyuan just called to invite you out for lunch to discuss the cooperation.”
Huo Zheng rose to his feet and put on his coat as he said curtly, “Tomorrow.”
The assistant nodded and checked Huo Zheng’s schedule before saying, “You’re free tomorrow morning. WIKA wants to have a conference call with us, and they’re free to do it any time so we can do it now.”
Huo Zheng looked at his assistant with a hint of pity as he said, “I don’t have time today.”
“Are you leaving?” the assistant asked, stunned, “There’s nothing on your schedule now. Did I miss anything?”
Meanwhile, the secretary had just skimmed through the documents. He was in charge of the internal work of the company and also handing tasks from the upper management to the lower management. When he first came in and saw the neat stack of documents, he had already felt that something was amiss. When Huo Zheng was speaking to his assistant, he had briefly flipped through the documents and found that there was no signature on them. He asked politely, confused, “The documents seem… untouched?”
Huo Zheng nodded, looking a little proud as he said, “That’s right. I’m going on a date.”
As he walked to the door, he pointed at the documents and said before he left, “I’ll leave these to you.”
Assistant Song stared at the closed door in shock. “The boss actually skipped work so openly?!”
The secretary massaged his temples as he said, “I was hoping to get off work early so I can have a candlelight dinner with my girlfriend tonight.”
‘Great. The boss is free and happy, but who knows how long I’ll have to work overtime today?’
The secretary complained, “Don’t workers deserve to celebrate Valentine’s Day as well?”
Assistant Song was single. He naturally was unaware that it was Valentine’s Day until he heard the secretary’s words. It was not strange to him that Huo Zheng left to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Lin Xiaowan. He calmly changed Huo Zheng’s schedule and left to arrange everything.
When Huo Zheng was waiting for the elevator, he received a message from Lin Xiaowan.
[Lin Xiaowan: Are you still at the company? Don’t work anymore. I’m going to do what I want today. I’m going to bring you out to play. I’m already on my way to you. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the company. I’m driving the huge silver Mulsanne.]
[Lin Xiaowan: I meant the driver is driving, not me. Don’t worry.]
Lin Xiaowan did not have a driving license and usually traveled using public transportation in the past.
Huo Zheng smiled as he read her messages. He went to the ground floor and took a seat by the window where he had a good view. The window was a one-way glass so he could sec the situation outside clearly.
When the receptionist saw Huo Zheng, she hurried over and asked, “President Huo, would you like something to drink?”
Huo Zheng waved his hand. “No need. I’m waiting for someone.”
The receptionist was at a loss. Although Huo Zheng refused, she still served him a glass of water in the end. She did not know his preference so it was safest to go with a glass of water.
“Thank you,” Huo Zheng said with a slight nod.
The receptionist blushed and quickly returned to her post with her heart thumping wildly.
‘Heavens! Although the boss looks cold, he’s really polite. However, his aura is so strong that I don’t dare to look at him at all! I wonder who he’s waiting for? After all, he personally came down here to wait for the other party…’
Huo Zheng was waiting, and so was the curious receptionist.
After a while, a silver Mulsane slowly pulled to a stop in front of the entrance.
A smile appeared on Huo Zheng’s face immediately, and his aura seemed to soften. Just as he stood up, he saw the back door of the car open. He saw a young woman dressed in an apricot trench coat alighting from the car, and he was filled with anticipation. He wondered if she would take the initiative to look for him in the company. Lin Xiaowan rarely came to his company so he really wanted to use this chance to show everyone that she was the wife of the boss of Huo Group.
Alas, Huo Zheng’s expectations were dashed. After alighting from the car, Lin Xiaowan suddenly ran to the side after closing the door.
Huo Zheng shook his head helplessly and quickly walked out. When he walked out, he finally saw what Lin Xiaowan was doing. At the intersection nearby, she was buying cotton candy from a stall..
