Chapter 101: Surprise Visit

After working on a few articles with her former editor's friend, Su Ruan was finally getting comfortable with writing as a freelance.

Seeing the payment for her first article was in her account made her thrilled. Although the amount was not as much as her salary working full time, Su Ruan thought that this amount was good enough.

Perhaps after writing a few more articles and making her name, she would get more money and could stop worrying about money.

As the thought came to her mind, Su Ruan was feeling a little excited.

She recalled seeing a few freelance websites and decided to register to look for future opportunities. Su Ruan was in the middle of browsing through the website when the phone on her table rang.

A hint of surprise appeared in her mind upon seeing the name on the caller ID. Then, her lips turned into a smile and Su Ruan picked up the phone call.

"Su Ruan?" The man spoke her name the moment the phone call was connected.

"Hello."

The frown on his face disappeared when he heard her voice. "I will be arriving at your grandpa's orchard in ten minutes."

"Ah?" Her eyes widened. Su Ruan was not expecting that Long Fei would call to tell her that he was coming to her grandfather's orchard. "You're back?"

Long Fei chuckled at her reaction. "Uh-huh. Do you want to come out and see me?"

Su Ruan looked out the window and saw a group of her grandpa's workers who were busy carrying some boxes.

There were a few of her family members who were in the orchard. As she thought of Long Fei running into any of her family members, Su Ruan began to panic.

She still did not want them to run into her family members and figure out their relationship.

Su Ruan snapped out of her thoughts.

That's right. What sort of relationship did she have with Long Fei?

They were only friends!

Still… Su Ruan did not want to let anyone know that she was closer to Long Fei. She was not prepared to answer any questions from her family members.

Was this considered a surprise visit?

"Then, can you just park outside? I'll come over to meet you," Su Ruan spoke. Worried that he might figure out something was wrong, Su Ruan quickly added, "Everyone in the orchard is busy with preparing for the carnival. It's better if I meet you outside."

"Then, I'll wait for you outside," Long Fei said. "I'll tell you when I arrived."

Su Ruan heaved a sigh in relief. She was about to turn around and headed downstairs when she saw her reflection in the mirror.

Because she was working alone in her bedroom, Su Ruan did not pay much attention to her appearance. It was only now that she realized that her hair was a mess and her face was a little pale.

Swiftly, Su Ruan tidied up a little and patted her cheek to give her face a little color. Seeing that she looked presentable, Su Ruan quickly headed downstairs to wait for Long Fei.

She had to tiptoe quietly as she was worried that she was going to run into someone.

Just then, the phone in her hand buzzed,

Her eyes widened in surprise, upon seeing Long Fei's message that he had arrived outside her grandpa's orchard.

Just now, he told her that he was going to arrive in another ten minutes but it looked like he had arrived a little earlier than that.

Worried that he will have to wait for a long time, Su Ruan hasten her pace. As she approached the black 4WD, Long Fei alighted with a frown on his face.

"Why are you rushing out?" Long Fei asked as Su Ruan stopped in front of him.

Su Ruan panted slightly. She had jogged over because she was worried that she was going to run into anyone. "I didn't want to let you wait for a long time."

Her answer made him feel a little warm. Perhaps, because she was running over, her cheek turned a little pink. Long Fei was slightly in a daze when he saw the look on her face.

"I thought you were supposed to return in a few more days," Su Ruan said.

Long Fei smiled. "My work ended earlier than planned."

He realized that he could not be apart from Su Ruan for a long time and had worked hard to finish his job. Once he had settled everything important, Long Fei had handed his job over to his assistant just so he could return earlier.

Now that Su Ruan was right in front of him where he could see and hear her clearly, his heart was finally at ease.

He really could not be away from her for a long time.

Long Fei made a note to himself to work on his relationship with Su Ruan before he have to travel elsewhere again. This way, he would have an excuse to bring her along with him.

"Did you come over from the airport?" Su Ruan saw the suit and tie on his body and guessed that he had just returned from Capital City.

He did not return home and came to look for her first?

Long Fei answered her with a smile. "Do you want to come inside?" He pulled the door and motioned for the girl to enter.

Su Ruan glanced inside his car and hesitated. "I haven't told anyone that I'm coming to see you. I don't want them to worry."

"Don't worry. We are not going anywhere." Long Fei glanced at the sky. "It's a little hot today. Let's continue and talk inside."

"Then… Alright." Su Ruan nodded. She slid into the car and Long Fei followed him after.

Su Ruan glanced at the driver and nodded to him as her greeting. Then she turned to Long Fei who was seated beside her.

Because they were seating too close, Su Ruan could smell the cologne on his body. She had always thought that the cologne on his body gave off a fresh smell.

Long Fei turned around and grabbed a bag. He handed it over to Su Ruan and smiled. "For you."

Su Ruan stared at the paper bag and a thought came to her mind. "Did you come over to give this to me?"

"Uh-huh."

Her lips turned into a smile. "What is this?" Su Ruan looked at the paper bag but could not guess at the content. However, her nose could pick up the smell of something sweet.

"Why don't you look at it first?"
