Xia Cheng had lived in the countryside for nearly eighteen years when she discovered her biological parents were famous real estate magnates.
Eagerly, she returned to her family, only to find...
Chapter 65: Zhao Yunqian and Xia Cheng meet by chance
"dad!"
Zhao Yunqian walked straight into Zhao Huayang's office without even knocking. She was holding a stack of documents and a thermos in her hands. She was passing by the company while doing some work for the law firm and brought some soup to reduce fever.
Although the company belongs to the Xun family, his father is the founder-level CEO, so Zhao Yunqian is always complacent and reckless.
Like Xun Mo, she reserved all her tenderness for a certain person. However, she thought she was smarter than Xun Mo.
After delivering the soup, Zhao Yunqian stayed. It was lunch time now, and she planned to eat before leaving. Landu's cafeteria was considered good. Even Xun Sheng often asked his secretary to buy food from the cafeteria and send it up. She still remembered that Yu Jingyuan liked to eat the braised lion's head in Landu's cafeteria. She found out about that by chance.
"Dad, I'll go buy you some food." She said to Zhao Huayang.
Zhao Huayang smiled and said, "Why not let the secretary go?"
"Everyone's having lunch now, there's no one outside."
"It's just a phone call."
"I'll go by myself, hurry up, I'm in a hurry to get back."
Rushing back to deliver the braised lion head.
Landu’s braised lion’s head is a limited dish, with a limit of one portion per person and a daily limit of 200 portions.
When Zhao Yunqian rushed over, only the last portion was left. From a distance, she saw a woman holding a plate, so she quickly quickened her pace and rushed over.
"Hello, I'd like to treat you to lunch. Could you please give me the lion's head?"
Xia Cheng heard the voice and turned around to see a woman who looked familiar. She said, "It's okay. I'll give it to you."
She didn't care about the food in the first place, so she just put it on Zhao Yunqian's plate.
Zhao Yunqian was stunned when she saw Xia Cheng's appearance. She didn't expect that this short-haired woman was the one she met at the door of the box that day and was held in Yu Jingyuan's arms. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to take the lion head away.
The woman's jealousy made her look at Xia Cheng deliberately. Upon closer inspection, she found that she was even more beautiful than when she saw her from afar that day. She was wearing a one-shoulder floral long dress, light makeup, and the hem of her skirt swayed like a flower.
It’s no wonder that Yu Jingyuan is so close to her. Zhao Yunqian feels ashamed when she sees him. She unconsciously looks at him a few more times, and then her eyes move down to see the name on the work badge. She puts the tip of her tongue against her upper jaw and silently memorizes it in her heart.
"Thank you." Zhao Yunqian tried to smile sweetly.
Xia Cheng said softly, "It's okay," and continued to choose dishes.
Zhao Yunqian followed her absentmindedly, unknowingly picking up the same dishes, and finally said, "Pack them all up."
Zhao Yunqian hurriedly left Landu's cafeteria and rushed back to the law firm.
Yu Jingyuan had not eaten yet. He was always responsible and would not rest until he finished the work at hand.
Through the glass, Zhao Yunqian glanced at the person in the light. No matter how she looked at him, her heart was beating wildly. Such a humble and polite person, she had already fallen into his tender feelings when she was a graduate student.
Thump thump thump......
This time Zhao Yunqian knocked on the door.
As the partner's assistant, Yu Jingyuan has his own small office.
"Please come in." Yu Jingyuan glanced outside and saw that it was her. He sat up straight and said, "Senior sister, what can I do for you?"
Zhao Yunqian placed the packaging bag on the desk.
"I went to Landu to see my dad. I brought you some food on the way. It includes your favorite lion's head."
Yu Jingyuan refused in a gentle tone.
"How can I let you spend money? I've asked Xiao Zhang to bring me a portion. You can eat this one by yourself."
"Don't be polite with me." Zhao Yunqian sat down on the chair opposite Yu Jingyuan, propped up her head, and said casually:
"I had a hard time buying this lion's head. When I went there, there was only one left, and it was given to me by a Landu employee. I think his name was... Xia..."
Hearing this surname, Yu Jingyuan and Zhao Yunqian looked at each other.
"Oh, by the way, her name is Xia Cheng. Look at my memory."
"Xia Cheng?"
The moment he heard the name, ripples appeared in Yu Jingyuan's eyes.
"Since Senior Sister bought it with great difficulty, I will call Xiao Zhang and ask him not to bring it to me. Thank you, Senior Sister."
Zhao Yunqian's smile gradually froze.
Her attempt was successful, but she was in a terrible mood. She slowly walked out of Jingyuan's office, her head buzzing.
They really have something.
What is the identity of the woman named Xia Cheng?
Feeling very annoyed, Zhao Yunqian glanced sideways in Yu Jingyuan's direction, feeling that he was somewhat ungrateful. She hadn't even eaten yet, yet she rushed to deliver food to him. If she hadn't mentioned Xia Cheng, Yu Jingyuan would definitely have refused.
After so many years, he is still like this and has never fallen in love with her at all.
Zhao Yunqian thought stubbornly, does Yu Jingyuan like Xia Cheng's appearance or personality?
If it was about appearance, then she could only say it was superficial. That little bitch was obviously a playboy, dressed so flamboyantly in the company. Yu Jingyuan should also get a pair of glasses and take a good look at who was good to him.
If it's about personality, Zhao Yunqian doesn't care. Personality can be adjusted and they can slowly adapt to each other after they are together.
But she couldn't help but wonder, what kind of personality did Xia Cheng have and what kind of person was she?
Zhao Yunqian turned on her phone and sent a message to her friend.
"Help me find someone named Xia Cheng, currently interning at Lando. She seems to be in the secretariat and knows Yu Jingyuan."

Xia Cheng was eating when she saw a dark blue suit. She stiffened and looked up. Seeing that it was Wei Paijin, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Jin, come here to eat too."
"The cafeteria is cheap and delicious, so of course it's the first choice." He sat down in front of Xia Cheng and asked, "Why do you always eat alone?"
"Isn't Brother Jin also alone?"
The two smiled and didn't talk about this topic anymore.
After a while, Wei Paijin lowered his voice and asked, "After I left last night, nothing happened between you and Mr. Xun, right? I saw him late this morning, his face was dark, and he didn't say a word during the meeting, like the King of Hell. Everyone in the administration department was almost scared to tears."
Xia Cheng guessed that Xun Sheng's dark face must have something to do with her.
But of course she wouldn't say it.
"Maybe it's the alcohol. My head hurts. When you're not feeling well, you just don't want to talk... It'll be fine once the alcohol is metabolized."
Wei Paijin nodded.
"That's right."
"Xiao Wei, you are not honest." Xu Yi came to them at some point, hooked Wei Paijin's arm, with an expression of being hurt.
After sitting down next to Wei Paijin with his plate, he asked, "What are you talking about? It's so mysterious."
Wei Paijin picked up a fried shrimp and passed it to Xu Yi: "Here comes the little flying stick~"
Xu Yi opened his mouth and bit down. His mouth was covered with flour and he laughed with his cheeks puffed out.
He tasted it and started eating without asking any more questions.
Wei Paijin breathed a sigh of relief and raised an eyebrow at Xia Cheng.
Xia Cheng covered her mouth and laughed, and rice grains almost spit out of her nose.
These two are so funny...
