63 This Scary and Unpredictable Emotion Called...

" M. Heng?" Ting Mei blinked confusedly as she looked at the handsome man.

" Congratulation for passing your audition, I hope you won't mind me calling you by your first name. " Heng Huan said with a smile in his eyes.

" Oh! Thank you so much for the bouquet! And I don't mind you calling me by my first name, it would actually be my pleasure. " Ting Mei smiled as she received the bouquet.

" Thank you, you can also call me by my first name. " Heng Huan answered.

" No, it would be impolite towards my superior..." Ting Mei politely declined but Heng Huan was faster.

" I insist. "

Seeing the determination in Heng Huan's eyes, Ting Mei couldn't refuse and shyly called out his name, " Then, hum, Huan...may I know where we are going? "

Looking at Ting Mei's pretty blushing face while saying his name, Heng Huan's eyes and heart completely softened, "God, why did you make this person so loveable...? "

" We are going to the amusement park. " Heng Huan proudly stated before bringing Ting Mei to his car.

Just like a real gentleman, he opened the car's door for Ting Mei as she sat in with the roses sitting on her lap.

Afterward, Heng Huan also got in the car and they took off.

Ting Mei slightly turned her head to observe the dignified man who was driving, " He's very attractive... I now understand why he has so many pursuers..."

She slightly blushed and immediately looked away, " Oh well, I guess in this world there really is people blessed by the god. Smart, tall, handsome and rich... "

Ting Mei suddenly came to a realization and lightly lifted her eyebrow, " Wait! What am I doing with this person right now? Isn't this abnormal to be sitting in the same car as this person? Why would this person ever take a day off to celebrate with a small actress like me? There's absolutely no way that he would spend his rare day off with me! I don't believe that he isn't extremely busy, I'm sure he is. So then why am I here again? "

She peered over to Heng Huan and saw him watching her with a slightly amused expression, " Mei, is there something you would like to ask me? "

Heng Huan was extremely interested and amused seeing Ting Mei's contorting's face. A moment she was shy, then the next she would be surprised and serious before finally showing confusion in her beautiful eyes. He couldn't help but feel entertained.

" I'm pretty sure I'll never get tired of observing her cute expressions..." thought Heng Huan with an evil plan in his mind.

" I... I was just thinking about how it was rare for a president to get a day off and that maybe you should be enjoying it by doing the things you like instead of celebrating with me... " Ting Mei turned her head away from Heng Huan's scorching gaze and lowered her eyelashes.

" Do you really think that? " Heng Huan asked Ting Mei as he retracted his gaze from her to set his eyes on the road.

" Hum... well...yeah? " Ting Mei hesitatingly answered, she had to be very careful around him.

" Well, I'm currently doing something I like with you. " Heng Huan coolly said.

Ting Mei looked at him dumbfoundedly but didn't question anymore. However, the car was now plunged in an uncomfortable silent so Ting Mei asked for permission and turned on the radio.

The radio unexpectedly played an all-time classic English love song, one of Ting Mei's favorite: Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

So, honey, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are...

Hearing the familiar song, Ting Mei's stiff and cold expression softened a lot and her lips eventually curved into a lovely and gentle smile.

As for Heng Huan, at first he didn't felt anything towards the song but after seeing Ting Mei's face

light up and her lips curved upwards, he started enjoying it too: he really couldn't get enough of her smiling face.

At that moment, Heng Huan promised to himself that he will absolutely keep her smiling everyday, till the end of her days...

Ting Mei looked over and saw Heng Huan's soft impression like he was lost in his thoughts and felt her heart skip a beat, " Even people like him can have such a gentle expression while thinking of someone... Who is that lucky person? That person must be someone he cherishes a lot... "

Ting Mei felt her heart sting a little from that thought but quickly disperse it, thinking that it was probably because she was jealous that her ex didn't cherished her as much as Heng Huan did to his special person...

However, thinking back to her first failed relationship, her heart hardened while her eyes became frosty and she once more tried to convince herself that she didn't need it, this scary and unpredictable emotion called love...
