29 Unexpected Encounter

2 months later

Mi Rong, Xia Yun, and grandma Feng had gotten along easily. Especially Mi Rong and grandma Feng who would always spend time together. On some days, Mi Rong would go out and the rest of the time would be spent with grandma Feng. They both shared so many interests together. As Mi Rong came from the past, she was also quite ancient headed. Both loved playing Go, taking care of the garden, fishing, calligraphy, and what they loved most was drinking tea.

Over the past month, Xia Yun had been occupied with her coffee shop. There were only a few days left until her shop would open. From time to time, Mi Rong would help Xia Yun out with anything she could. Occasionally, Xia Yun would join Mi Rong to go meet grandma Feng together.

When the three were together, they would cook many different menus and once they were done; they would rest their tired legs to sit down and enjoy the food made by everyone. The workers at grandma Feng's house were very glad to see grandma Feng happy again. Ever since that time, she had been quite down.

In a study room

An elderly lady was sitting in behind a big working desk with some documents. Grandma Feng had her glasses on and was going through all of the documents that her secretary gave to her today. A tray of unfinished food was laying beside her. She didn't have any appetite for her lunch, but to take care of her old body, she ate some.

Then, out of nowhere, a slim figure appeared in front of grandma Feng. The lady was wearing all black and only her fierce eyes were shown. However, before grandma Feng, she meekly greeted her master.

Then, she opened her mouth and said, "Chairwoman, excuse me."

"Hm? What is it, Chun Fang?" Grandma spoke while her eyes were still going through the documents. Ever since her useless son became the new chairman, he was lazily like a pig. She would have thought that the Feng corporation would have fallen if not for her grandson. Sigh.

"Uh, the CEO is coming this evening mam."

"Oh, Jun Kai? Is he bringing little Qing Qing with him?"

"Yes, mam."

"Ho ho, of course, he would."

"Mam, what should we do about your meeting today with Miss Mi Rong?"

Grandma Feng smiled sneakily, "Does Jun Kai know that she's here?"

"No mam, I've taken down many of the spies sir Jun Kai has replaced, and only let some who would cooperate with us to return to report the news you wanted mam."

"Good good."

"Also, mam what about the Xuan enterprise's auction that is held next month? Are you personally going to join it?"

"Oh no. I'll let Jun Kai do it. I'm too old for any more business."

"Um, mam are you really not going to lookup more of Miss Mi Rong's background?"

When Chun Fang finished speaking, the room turned chilly and grandma Feng's expression became dark. No matter how many years has past, but a tigress is always a tigress.

Seeing grandma Feng getting angry, Chun Fang regretted saying it. "Mam, I'm sorry."

Grandma Feng did not take it to heart and simply said, "Hm, go finish what you need to do. Just leave Mi Rong alone, only protect her from afar."

"Yes, mam." Chun Feng then quickly left the room.

Not long after Chun Feng was gone, a knock came to the door. "Chairwoman, miss Mi Rong is here." It was the housekeeper who had come to inform grandma Feng. He had been following the Feng family for many years and had been loyal consistently to them.

"Oh, alright, tell her to wait in the garden for me. Also, prepare some tea, I'll be right there."

"Yes, mam." The housekeeper retreated respectfully.

...

In the garden at the back of grandma Feng's house

Xia Yun had just finished baking a matcha cake and wanted to let grandma Feng try. She couldn't come personally, so she asked Mi Rong to deliver it to grandma Feng.

At the side of a pond, there was an old Chinese styled dock, inside Mi Rong was sitting patiently with a warm matcha cake on the tea table. Beside her, a snowy white dog was idly sitting waiting for grandma Feng. Xiao Bai was also introduced to grandma Feng and he was very much loved by her. Xiao Bai was also very fond of the old lady as she was like a noble person from the past.

While they were waiting, Xiao Bai decided to discuss matters of their upcoming auction, "Mi Rong, this time it seems the Feng corporation is joining. However, we are unsure if they are here for good or to cause trouble."

"Hm."

"And also, I heard the new CEO was..." But before Xiao Bai could finish his sentence, grandma Feng had arrived.

"I'm sorry for making you two wait. Hmm, I smell something delicious. Did Xia Yun bake something today as well?"

Mi Rong used telepathy to Xiao Bai and said, "Let's talk later."

Then, she turned towards grandma Feng, "Grandma Feng, come over. Xia Yun especially made it for you to try."

"That good girl. Also, Mi Rong would it be fine if you could use your skills and brew me some of your lovely tea to go with the cake for me?"

"Alright."

Like usual, the two people happily talked and got carried away with many topics that they love. They didn't notice the time that was getting darker and the lights in the garden were turned on.

Suddenly a sweet voice called out, "Great-grandmother!"

From afar a small figure was running towards their direction. When Mi Rong heard the voice, her brows slightly furrowed as the voice was familiar.

The little girl was wearing a white plain dress, but it made her look like a little princess. Her smile was bright and her chubby cheeks were much slimmer and her jawline was much sharper.

Mi Rong's clear eyes became large like an egg. It was Xiao Qing. She was dumbfounded with who she was seeing in front of her.

On the other side, when Qing Qing saw who was with her great-grandma, she abruptly stopped in her tracks and was in a daze. Was she dreaming? Mi Rong jie was in front of her?

Watching from the side, grandma secretly smiled, anytime soon, that grandson of hers would also come. Xiao Bai fixed his gaze at Qing Qing and was wagging his tail happily.

When Qing Qing finally woke from her trance, tears began running down her little face as she rushed towards Mi Rong's direction. She finally ended up into Mi Rong's warm embrace. Mi Rong had lifted the poor little girl up and was now comforting her with a small pat on her back.

Over the entire year, Qing Qing had grown taller, but she wasn't too heavy for Mi Rong. Mi Rong's shoulders were now damp from Qing Qing's tears, but she didn't mind. Grandma Feng decided to give them some time and started sipping her tea, waiting for another person to show up.

With a small voice Qing Qing said, "Rong jie, I missed you."

"Oh, Qing Qing, why didn't you call me, hm?"

"Father didn't let me ah." Qing Qing answered with a muffled voice.

Mi Rong warmly comforted, "Oh, well, you're here now right?" That person was really too much!

"Yes! Rong jie, please don't go anywhere again okay? I don't have any friend except you."

"Alright." Qing Qing then smiled happily and gave Mi Rong a big hug.

Then from the back door, a handsome figure appeared. His appearance could be even to a deity. His eyes were as black as the dusky night and deep as the unmeasurable seas. Contrast to his handsome face, he was wearing all black that excluded a dark and mysterious vibe. He was like a sovereign king who was aloof from the world. With one look, nobody would be able to take their eyes off from him. But no one would dare get too close to him as he was as cold as the winter storm. Even the housekeeper was standing far away from him.

When he saw his daughter in someone's arms, his eyebrows knitted. The back figure of that person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was from. Seeing Jun Kai putting up a cold air everywhere he went, grandma Feng rolled her eyes and sighed. This boy is just like his grandfather.

When Qing Qing looked up and saw who had come she called, "Father!"

Mi Rong froze. No way.

When she turned around. The pair met eyes with each other.
