A Persistent Man

'Believe him? What a joke! Is this how one invites someone for a meal?' Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen thought.

Silence enveloped both parties.

Sheng Jian, his face sporting a small ice pack, approached them.

Ye Nanshen subtly moved Rong Qi behind him, his voice icy. "What brings you here, Mr. Sheng? If I remember correctly, we've always had a policy of non-interference, haven't we?"

'Non-interference?' Sheng Jian's eyebrows twitched. 'How could this man utter such shameless words? Had he forgotten our first encounter, one that involved fists and fury?'

Sheng Jian had chosen to overlook that incident, and now, all he had done was stop their car momentarily. Yet, Ye Nanshen acted as if they were sworn enemies. He considered himself being magnanimous before.

Then, Sheng Jian spoke, "We've had some misunderstandings before, so I thought we could clear the air over a meal."

Ye Nanshen replied, "Sorry, but we've never met before."
