Yun Xi got the call from Team Leader A as soon as she left the school lab for the school gates. The call alerted her that Han Yaotian had blocked the front gates of the school.

It had not been long since she returned from Mount Tianyu and decided to pay the school a short visit. Han Yaotian’s timely arrival had surprised her. She wondered if he had been meaning to pay her a visit.

The Han Corporation had been under incessant attacks lately. He should have been scrambling like ants left on a hot pan as the vice-director of the corporation. If he was able to take time out and blockade the school gates for her, he must have something he really wanted to discuss.

“Got it, I will leave now. You guys can stay hidden first.”

Yun Xi ended the call and turned to step out of the school gates. As she expected, two bodyguards immediately stopped her in her path before she could even touch the grounds outside of the school.

Yun Xi raised her brows as the bodyguards that stopped her, retreated, and a figure stepping out of the car came into her view. “Chairman Han?” she asked as she feigned a surprised smile. “What a coincidence!”

“Not exactly. I was waiting for you. I heard you have been busy lately, so I didn’t want to cause you any trouble. Say, are you free to grab a meal with me?”

Yun Xi laughed lightly, “That’s very kind of you, Chairman Han. Sure, I can join you for a meal!”

Just like Han Yaotian had ulterior motives for this meeting, she had her plans for Han Yaotian as well. If Han Yaotian was willing to meet her in person, she would not let this opportunity pass.

Han Yaotian smiled in response, “This way, please!” He turned and opened the car door for Yun Xi and boarded the car after Yun Xi had settled down.

In his eyes, Yun Xi was still a girl. If he played his cards right, he was still able to charm her to do anything he wanted.

It was fortunate that Yun Xi chose an Asian restaurant this time. After the previous incident at the western restaurant, Han Yaotian dared not bring her to another one.

Upon arrival, Han Yaotian requested a guest room for the two of them, but Yun Xi was quick to reject this proposal. Ignoring the expression on Han Yaotian’s face, she walked toward a table by the window instead and sat down to flip through the menu.

Han Yaotian could only nod awkwardly at the waiter and move toward the table, “Order anything you like. Don’t need to save any money for me!”

Yun Xi smiled. His couple-like words and gestures were too reminiscent of what he had said to her when they were in a relationship from her last life. Somehow, they sounded more sarcastic than romantic in this life.

Yun Xi scanned the menu and placed the order for a few of the restaurant’s recommended dishes before she passed the menu to Han Yaotian. “Your turn,” she commented with a smile. “What would you like to eat, Chairman Han?”

Taking the menu from Yun Xi’s hands, Han Yaotian scanned through the food items as well. He did not miss that Yun Xi ordered the recommended dishes that did not seem like what she would have liked to eat.

For someone her age to be so cautious that she would even conceal the food she had liked to eat, Han Yaotian was rather surprised by Yun Xi’s wariness.

Like the girl, Han Yaotian casually ordered a few items. The waiter nodded as the two named their dishes and left to send the orders to the kitchen. While they waited, Han Yaotian could not help but study the young girl’s complexion. She had appealing features, and there was a natural elegance she carried that put others around her at ease. She had a magnetic aura that pulled others toward her.

There was no doubt she would become the beauty of Jingdu in a few years.

Han Yaotian learned once again that the Young Commander had a good eye for people to pick someone like Yun Xi. And unless Yun Xi was willing to leave the Young Commander, there was no other man who had the qualifications or the guts to compete with him.

“So what have you been up to? Haven’t seen you around much lately.”

“I’m doing research with a professor right now. What about you, Chairman Han? You should be quite busy, no? Seeing how the Han family is no longer part of the Big Four, it should be a busy time.”

Yun Xi commented casually as she took a sip of the milk tea. She quite enjoyed taking jabs at Han Yaotian, and she was sure to make the most out of the opportunity she had.

Han Yaotian’s smile stiffened, and it took him a while before he was able to smile properly again, “Not too bad. It is a little busy. But you know, being the vice-director, I can leave some of these things for someone else to handle.”

“Ah, I see. If Chairman Han is not too busy, then should we talk business?”
