Chapter 36: Competitions should always be friendly to not turn it deadly.

"No wonder you recommended it to me… it is actually your father's company who built the amusement park." Hong Yue said as they sat inside a taxi. He just finished searching in the internet about the Dawn Amusement Park.

Hong Yue should have known better. 'Tianming', the name of Zhou Tianshan's company, is translated as 'Dawn' in English. And with Lan Xing mentioning it, it is obvious that it was the company of Lan Xing's father that built the amusement park.

Hong Yue has already heard about Zhou Tianshan from Huang Ziming before, so he knows that the Dawn Amusement Park will definitely be a big hit to the people.

But Lan Xing is still thinking of earlier. "Really… don't get angry. I am really sincere earlier and not making fun of you when I asked you if you want me to carry you." He explained.

The taxi driver, who is actually the same taxi driver that sent Lan Xing and Hong Yue before to Haifeng Mall and thought that they are poor. Later, it was to him which the broken hoverboard was given when he again sent them to their dormitory. Now that he is sending them again to another destination, he felt like he has some fate with these two.

"Sirs…" the taxi driver finally gathered his courage to call them. "About before… the broken hoverboard… thank you very much!" he told them. "Because of it, we managed to pay for my wife's hospitalization and my children's tuition!" he said, feeling very grateful for Lan Xing and Hong Yue's kindness.

Hong Yue and Lan Xing turned and recognized the taxi driver who fetched them and sent them before.

"It's nothing." Lan Xing just said before he looked back at Hong Yue.

Hong Yue who lost his temper earlier but now he felt guilty. "… I am not really angry." He finally answered.

"You were." Lan Xing said.

"I just overreacted earlier." Hong Yue honestly said.

"So you were angry." Lan Xing said.

Hong Yue pressed his lips tight. "Fine. I was." He sighed in defeat just to end this topic.

"Sorry if you misunderstood me earlier." Lan Xing spoke. "I'll make it up to you today!" he promised.

"You really don't need to…" Hong Yue said and stopped when he saw Lan Xing's serious expression. Seriously, this guy… why is he so serious?! He thought and sighed.

Meanwhile, the taxi driver who heard their conversation and thought that the words seem familiar. "…" why do I think that they are a couple?! He thought when he recalled that these words are used in romance drama. He immediately shook his head and focused more in driving since this is his customers' privacy!

Not long after and they finally reached the Dawn Amusement Park.

"Good sirs, if you want my service again, you can just directly call me!" the taxi driver said and handed them his business card.

Hong Yue received it while Lan Xing called the manager of the amusement park to fetch them.

"Thank you." Hong Yue said and smiled. "God bless to your family." He added when he recalled what the taxi driver said earlier.

The taxi driver's eyes brightened. "And to you, too!" he replied and then left when the company called him to fetch another customer.

Hong Yue paused when he heard the taxi driver's words. Then, a small smile appeared on his lips. Even if he has no family anymore, but doesn't he have a new family? He recalled Huang Anyi, Huang Ziming, and Song Xuqi. Then, he thought of Lan Xing.

"Hong Yue?" Lan Xing called when he returned and saw Hong Yue standing on the same spot with a pensive expression on his face. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" he asked in concern.

There are many people today but fortunately, they are organized with the help of the guards in the opening day of the Dawn Amusement Park. Also, some people are from the wealthy families so they would definitely not act reckless.

Hong Yue turned and saw Lan Xing. Well, I just thought of you as part of my family now. He thought and laughed.

"Hm?" Lan Xing doesn't know why Hong Yue laughed. But, seeing that Hong Yue is happy, he felt relieved. "Do you want to rest first?" he asked. "Don't worry. The Dawn Amusement Park also has 'on feet or on seat' like the Haifeng Mall." He told him.

Hong Yue recalled the driving lane inside the Haifeng Mall where the small cars could be used by the customers who don't like to walk. He felt like this is made for him!

"Great!" Hong Yue's eyes brightened.

Lan Xing smiled, feeling happy. He knows that Hong Yue will like it. "Then, let me take you there." He said as they went to where the manager of the amusement park is already waiting anxiously.

The manager feels nervous when Zhou Tianshan's secretary called him telling him to receive their 'prince'. Everyone knows that Lan Xing has a bad temper. But Zhou Tianshan's secretary told him that he only needed to follow Lan Xing, and be respectful to the person with Lan Xing. He then will be fine.

…

Tianming Company.

"He really went there with his lover!" Zhou Tianshan sighed when he recalled his subordinate sent to follow Lan Xing told him that Lan Xing went with Hong Yue to Dawn Amusement Park.

Ruan Yuan, the all-rounder secretary, remained calm. "Sir, didn't you already accept young master Hong Yue as the prince's other half?" he asked.

Everyone who is working under Zhou Tianshan calls Lan Xing their 'prince'.

Zhou Tianshan's face darkened. "Who said that I already accepted this Hong Yue?!" he angrily asked.

"Oh, you didn't?" Ruan Yuan muttered, acting surprised. "But you said before in Shuihua University that if the prince likes young master Hong Yue, then you will approve." He reminded him.

"That was because Huang Ziming provoked me!" Zhou Tianshan explained.

"Oh. Then you don't accept young master Hong Yue as your 'daughter'-in-law?" Ruan Yuan asked.

Zhou Tianshan froze and didn't answer. "… Ruan Yuan. Why do I feel like you are sent by Huang Ziming?!" he asked as he gnashed his teeth in anger.

Ruan Yuan just smiled, full of composure. "How can that be, sir? I was just about to tell his secretary to wisely tell his boss not to let young miss Huang Anyi to steal young master Hong Yue from the prince." He explained.

Zhou Tianshan's expression turned better. "Good." He answered. "So, you actually communicate with Huang Ziming's secretary?" he asked.

"We have our own circle, after all." Ruan Yuan carelessly shrugged. "We compete which boss is better." He grinned.

But, Zhou Tianshan's mind is elsewhere. "Did he tell you how is his boss's health lately?" he asked as he lowered his gaze.

Ruan Yuan paused and looked at their boss who busied himself. But, working with Zhou Tianshan for a decade now, he knows that his boss is waiting for his response.

Ruan Yuan's expression softened. "Yibin did." He answered.

Liu Yibin is Huang Ziming's secretary.

"What did he tell you?" Zhou Tianshan immediately asked.

"He said that his boss's health is better than before." Ruan Yuan answered.

Zhou Tianshan's tense shoulder relaxed. "Good… that's good." He muttered.
