Crystal shrimp dumplings, crab roe steamed buns, a small bowl of scallop porridge, and a plate of tempting egg tarts, all exquisite but not so luxurious that the daughter of the Guo family would lose her composure and exclaim.
Guo Jingzhu's attention was no longer on the food.
She mechanically picked up a shrimp dumpling, which tasted like chewing wax.
But I felt a little sad in my heart. Mr. Kobayashi really came here for my cousin Liu Rumeng!
The tasteless midnight snack ended quickly.
The servants cleared away the dishes, and Lin Huowang looked at the grandfather clock in the corner of the living room.
Then, he very naturally picked up a beautiful note on the coffee table with a private phone number printed on it, on which a string of numbers was written smoothly in gold pen, and handed it to Guo Jingzhu.
"It's getting late. Let my driver take you back."
His tone was still gentle and considerate, and he said very considerately, "This is my personal number.
Miss Guo was frightened tonight, go back and have a good rest.
If it’s convenient, please leave me your number and we’ll contact each other some other day.”
In Guo Jingzhu's eyes at this moment, Lin Huowang's gentle smile was more dazzling than a diamond, enough to illuminate her entire world!
That light note now weighs more than a thousand pounds!
Guo Jingzhu took it almost tremblingly. Her heart trembled when her fingertips touched the slightly cool paper.
Mr. Kobayashi...took the initiative to give her his phone number?!
He even asked for her phone number. Does this mean he wants to contact her again?!
The huge surprise overwhelmed her and even diluted the disappointment just now.
Then, Guo Jingzhu quickly wrote down the Guo family's phone number to Lin Huowang.
“Okay… okay!
Thank you, Mr. Kobayashi!"
Her voice was filled with undisguised joy as she carefully kept the piece of paper as if it were a treasure.
Under the escort of security personnel, Guo Jingzhu got into the car reluctantly.
The luxurious Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow drove smoothly into the night.
In the carriage, Guo Jingzhu tightly grasped the piece of paper with the phone number written on it, her cheeks burning, and she felt as if the whole world was wrapped in a layer of colorful candy wrapper.
Tonight's experience was like a dream, from the huge fear of being forced to climb over the wall and being caught by security, to Mr. Kobayashi coming down like a god to rescue me.
Then he treated her wounds with his own hands, shared a midnight snack with her even though she was distracted, and finally got this coveted phone number...
She couldn't help pinching the back of her hand. The real pain made her sure that it was not a dream. She was so happy that she almost fainted.
"The Cinderella story... is it true?"
She looked at the luxurious villas outside the window and asked herself silently.
Her cheeks were hot and her eyes were twinkling with a dreamy light.
After seeing Guo Jingzhu off, the huge villa's living room instantly became quiet, with only the slight ticking sound of the grandfather clock's hands.
Lin Huowang did not go upstairs.
He was alone, sunk in the large leather sofa, his right hand pressing his temple a little tiredly, the longing and worry that had been suppressed between his brows could no longer be hidden.
"Mengmeng..."
We are so close to each other, yet it is hard to recognize each other.
Lin Huowang knew very well that ever since he moved into Villa No. 3 in Repulse Bay, countless eyes had been secretly watching him.
Therefore, Lin Huowang had to be cautious even when he wanted to understand Liu Rumeng's true situation.
Today, I wanted to find out something through the unexpected channel of Guo Jingzhu, but I didn't expect that Mr. Guo was so defensive. I guess Guo Jingzhu and other younger generations have been severely warned at home.
It seems that his identity as Lin Huowang from the mainland and his relationship with Liu Rumeng are regarded as extremely dangerous secrets in the Guo family.
"But now I am Kobayashi Tenmo, a wealthy Chinese-Japanese man..."
He looked down at his slender fingers. This disguise of a wealthy Japanese-Chinese businessman was his most important protection at the moment.
It was enough for him to maneuver easily among the complex forces in Hong Kong Island, but at the same time it also became an invisible gap between him and Liu Rumeng.
Once he reveals his true identity as Lin Huowang, the Guo family will treat him as a formidable enemy and completely block him out.
It will also trigger high vigilance among the British Hong Kong government, British financial groups and even those forces that are extremely wary of the mainland, and the situation that they have painstakingly built up may collapse in an instant.
But if I were to get to know her again as "Kobayashi Tenmo"... and pursue her...
This thought flashed through my mind like lightning.
Her beauty is creating a sensation in Hong Kong Island and she is a hot favorite for Miss Hong Kong.
Lin Huowang appeared as Xiaolin Tianwang and pursued and approached Liu Rumeng as a young rich man. No matter who looked at it, it was a normal thing for a gentleman to marry a beautiful lady.
While Lin Huowang was thinking, his fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa.
My thoughts gradually became clearer, so I started from scratch using the new and attractive identity of "Kobayashi Tenwang".
He is no longer her husband Lin Huowang, but a Japanese-Chinese businessman who is attracted by her radiance.
He had enough capital and means to play the role of a handsome, talented and well-connected suitor in front of her.
This play must be performed for everyone to see.
"To pursue my dream again, and to pursue it vigorously in Hong Kong..."
This idea gradually took hold.
This is not only his personal strong desire, but also... part of the plan itself!
Lin Huowang suddenly sat up straight, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes!
Oh, and there’s Peter Ho!
This is the eldest son of the Huo family!
Lin Huowang recalled what he and Huo Yingdong had said in the private room of Tingtao Pavilion, about creating a situation where the relationship between them and the Huo family was as close as fire and water.
