16 Under The Spell Of Love

When 8 o'clock hit, the doorbell rang. Fen Hua quickly rushed to the door to open the door herself. To her surprise, it wasn't Heng Huan but his secretary, An Chung.

Fen Hua was very excited to see Heng Huan come fetch Ting Mei so was really disappointed when she saw An Chung.

Sensing the disappointment coming from Fen Hua, Ting Mei understood the situation and was ready to say that it's fine to report the plan another day.

Before she could utter a word, An Chung spoke up: " Miss Ting Mei, the president told me to come pick you up because he had work in the meantime but he should be there on time at the hotel."

Ting Mei was impressed and skeptical, the mighty president was really busy but still found time for her. Isn't it unbelievable?

True, it was unbelievable but what was more unbelievable was what Heng Huan did after. He bought the entire hotel, spent 3 hours on his outfit and preparations of the date and was nervous about Ting Mei's reaction. Fortunately, only his assistant saw him that nervous, it didn't appear obvious but for An Chung, it was easy to guess.

" No problem," answered politely Ting Mei.

" Then please follow me this way," said An Chung before leading the way to the limousine.

Ting Mei swiftly entered the car and the limousine started to roll direction the hotel.

...

After only 20 minutes, Ting Mei arrived at the hotel and went up the elevator.

Arrived at the huge door leading to the top floor, An Chung simply gestured her to enter.

Ting Mei hesitantly pushed opened the door and saw Heng Huan standing underneath the beautiful full moon, looking like a god. Her cheeks instantly flushed red but instantly died down after remembering to act natural.

She elegantly walked to Heng Huan and shook his hand.

" Hello M. Heng, it is my pleasure to dine with you tonight." spoke gently Ting Mei.

" It is my pleasure as well," answered Heng Huan in a soft tone while scanning Ting Mei's outfit.

" She can look beautiful in everything she wears." thought Heng Huan.

" Please this way," gestured Heng Guan to Ting Mei while naturally leading her hand to the table.

They were on the top floor so the view that was spread out was breathtaking. The floor was filled with burning scented candle and flower petals. Was this really a celebration of a collaboration or a date?

Ting Mei slowly sat down on the chair Heng Huan pushed for her and looked around her in astonishment.

Seeing Ting Mei's surprise expression, Heng Huan explained gently " I'm sorry if the decorations made you confuse, I just told my assistant to prepare an important dinner for a woman and it turned out this way. I will make sure to scold him properly when I see him."

An Chung, who was standing outside the door, suddenly felt a cold chill run down his spine.

" No! No, it's fine, it's really fine. He probably just confused the meaning and I have to say it is pretty romantic, I would have loved it for a date so he has done well." chuckled lightly Ting Mei.

" To note down," thought Heng Huan to himself while going to sit down opposite Ting Mei. He was actually the one that prepared the decoration so he felt pretty proud of himself in this instant.

" What would you like to eat?" asked calmly Heng Huan while handing her the menu.

" I don't know, how about your recommendations?" asked gently Ting Mei.

" Then I'll recommend these few ones." pointed Heng Huan.

After Ting Mei agreed, he asked the waiter to take their command.

" So Miss Ting, may I ask why have you stopped your career at the highest point?" asked Heng Huan while taking a sip of his wine.

" Nothing special, just personal reasons, " responded Ting Mei in an indifferent tone.

The rest of the dinner went on with Heng Huan's approaches getting nowhere while Ting Mei was slowly sipping her wine.

Actually, she was feeling bad for him. Heng Huan was trying hard to start a conversation but she would always cut it before it even started.

During their whole conversation, Heng Huan didn't get annoyed and was actually falling harder and harder under her charm. She looked very cute when she was trying to block all his advances.

He had to admit it, he was maybe actually blinded by love because anyone else would be extremely angry when faced with a person cold as ice like her but he wasn't at all.

The whole night, he couldn't help but stare at her the whole time with a faint smile.
