15 15. Prince Sky...

The journey was peaceful, nobody said anything as the chatterbox, Xia Jingyi, was taking a nap.

He stopped by the Komagi's, which was an authentic Japanese sweet shop.

She got out of the car, well, all her immediate kin had sweet tooth, except her who was not picky at all, they all were self-proclaimed gourmets!!

She got to know this shop by chance 3 months ago when she came here due to work. Though the shop was a bit inconspicuous considering all those high-end shops in this area, it didn't matter to her because their craft was genuine, well, as a result, she had also become a patron for them.

She was greeted by all the workers who saw her, she too nodded and went on to place her order, being a patron, a big one at that, she was immediately served.

She took 2 huge boxes of 'Ichigo-daifukus", each box had 16 of them so they were sufficient for the 3 gluttons at home and they loved it too. She also bought some chocolate truffles and a strawberry shortcake as it was recommended for the day and that was it.

She didn't mind spending but if she did and took lots of them, they will definitely go out of control and gobble them up in an instant la, it's not good for their health!!

If she took them in fewer amounts, at least, they will savor it or else....haah.

After she paid and was getting out of the place, from the corner of her eye she saw someone, savoring a mango mousse with a huge grin, as if, enthralled by the same.

It was someone she knew very well.

He was a very attractive man for a fact and the reason she was able to notice him, even though this place was very crowded, was also because of it.

She had known this man for a few years now and as always, he was like a peacock, attracting attention, everywhere he went.

She considered for a bit but didn't go to greet him, well, he didn't seem to have noticed her plus Qin ZiXuan was waiting outside, she would definitely not make him wait for long and on the off chance he walked in, it would get a bit messy for her.

So, she decided on just texting him.

As she got inside the car, she gave a short smile to XuanXuan who was staring at her with a soft smile.

After he saw her put on the seat belt, he started the car.

She put on the huge paper bag with the desserts aside and buckled up as she fished out her phone and texted the man on WeChat..

Meilin: Are you spending my money again?

Prince Sky: No no no no, why would you think that?

Meilin: Instinct.

Prince Sky: ...

Meilin: hm?

Prince Sky: Ok, fine!! I am. But it's...it's....

Meilin: It's employee benefit?

Price Sky: Yes, yes, yes!!

She could imagine nodding him like his life depended on it, she let out a small chuckle.

Meilin: I'll call you when I'm free, I have forwarded an Email, check it and continue as usual.

Prince Sky: Got it!! BTW when are you coming back, this CEO is a bit bored without you so, he has come out to spend your money...tehee.

Meilin: ...

Prince Sky: We already got the affirmation from their side, well, considering that it was 'you' who planned the proposal, no way we could have discarded it.

Meilin: Was that supposed to be sarcasm.

Prince Sky: No.....

Meilin: ...

Prince Sky: A little..I already told you it was very rushed on our side, right?

Meilin: I know but.....

Prince Sky: Yeah, yeah. "What are they being paid for?", right!! Anyway, I read the Email, sorry I didn't check it earlier.

Meilin:hmm

Prince Sky: The matter will be solved within a week and I'll visit their- I mean your side, by the end of this week.

Meilin: That fast?

Prince Sky: hummu!! Praise me. Praise me.

Meilin: En. En. I'll reserve a room at the STAR BOAT for dinner then.

Prince Sky: ahh!! You're the best!!

Meilin: ha ha....

Prince Sky: Talk to you tonight?

Meilin: hmm....... and with that, she ended the chat and looked out of the car with a smile on her face, as a result, she didn't notice the abnormalities in the man beside her.

Qin ZiXuan had noticed her chatting with someone.

He took a peek, his reason being she was not trying to hide it.

When he saw the handle name, his grip over the steering wheel tightened, it was the same guy, again!! When he saw her smiling face, his eyes darkened. His dark aura was deepening by the second and black clouds surrounded him.

But before he could go deeper into the dark side, he heard her speak-

"XuanXuan, I got a shortcake for you. Yesterday,.... it was my miss. This won't happen again."

Though her voice was flat, he could hear her guilt.

His aura receded, though he too was feeling a bit guilty because of his selfishness when he thought about the chat, he threw it away.

' I'll treat us to be even now..hmmph. Oh, well, it seems I just have to take care of another pest.'
