Chapter 123: Black Eyes

After she came back from swimming at the lake with her cousins, Ma Zheng Zheng noticed that her daughter has been a little strange.

Last night, during dinner, Su Ruan picked up a piece of eggplant with her chopstick with a dazed look on her face. The moment the food touched her lips, her movement halted and the girl let out a sigh.

Ma Zheng Zheng was worried that something might have happened to her daughter while she went out with her cousin. She texted Ma Yu Xi, but the girl told her that there was nothing wrong with her daughter. Ma Yu Xi only told her that her cousin was probably thinking about work.

Thinking that Ma Yu XI's words made sense, Ma Zheng Zheng decided not to think too much about it.

However, in the morning, Ma Zheng Zheng noticed that her daughter's condition had worsened. The girl seemed as if she was in a trance. This time, there was a dark circle under her eyes.

"Su Ruan," Ma Zheng Zheng called when she saw that her daughter continued to poke at the meat bun.

"Ah?" Su Ruan finally looked up.

Ma Zheng Zheng glanced at the meat bun on the plate and spoke, "Are you going to eat the meat bun or not? If you continue to poke at it, the meat bun will burst."

Lowering her gaze, Su Ruan saw how the meat bun had almost lost its shape.

What happened? How did this meat bun turn like this?

Looking at the chopstick in her hand, Su Ruan finally realized what had happened. Clearing her throat, Su Ruan finally picked up the deformed meat bun and ate it slowly. But with the holes on the bun, the filling spilled out between her fingers.

"What are you worrying about? Is it about work?" Ma Zheng Zheng spoke. "Mom knows that you are starting to pick up a few jobs, but Su Ruan, you have to remember to rest as well. Look at the black rim under your eyes. You're resembling a panda."

"Su Ruan looked at her mother in surprise as she touched her under eyes. "Mom, is it that bad?"

"Why don't you look at the mirror?" Ma Zheng Zheng sighed when he saw her daughter's panicky look.

Of course, the reason Su Ruan did not have enough sleep was not because of work. Last night, her mind was preoccupied with a certain man and the underwater kiss.

Each time that she closed her eyes, the scene would be replayed in her mind.

She only closed her eyes for ten minutes before her alarm rang. She did not want her family to worry and decided to come down and have breakfast.

"Su Ruan, you should go back to your room and get some sleep after this. Otherwise, you might feel sick," Ma Zheng Zheng reminded her. "Work is important but your health is your priority. If you are unwell, how are you going to continue and work?"

Su Ruan lowered her head as she listened to her mother's advice. "Mmm… Mom, I know. I'll try to get some rest."

Anyway, she had finished writing the important articles before she went out to play with her cousins.

After having her breakfast, Su Ruan went back to her room to rest.

The phone on the bedside table rang just as she lay down on the mattress. Instantly, her sleepiness disappeared. Su Ruan sat up on the bed quickly and gasped.

Shit! She had totally forgotten that she was supposed to have a meal with Long Fei in the evening!

…

Long family old mansion.

Long Fei was sitting behind his desk with his phone in his hand. The corner of his lips tilted up to a smile after he had sent out a text to remind Su Ruan about their dinner.

Her reply came over a minute after. Su Ruan only replied to him briefly but her response was enough for him. As long as she did not avoid him, Long Fe could be at ease. He was looking forward to meeting her again.

Just in time, someone knocked on his door.

Long Fei looked up and saw that it was the butler who was in charge of his courtyard.

"Young Master," the older man greeted him. "The Old Master called for you. He said he will be waiting for you in his study."

His brow furrowed when he heard the message. "Did he say why?"

"His assistant did not say a word," the butler said. "But I heard that your father will be there as well."

Long Fei narrowed his eyes as he pondered over the reason his grandfather had called for him. "What about Yu Heng?"

"Master Yu Heng went out to the town center early this morning and had not returned yet," the butler answered.

It was then that Long Fei remember that he had asked his cousin to run a few matters for him.

"Mm. I know. I'll go and find my grandfather soon."

The butler nodded before he closed the door again.

After he tidied up his table, Long Fei went to his grandfather's courtyard. The moment he appeared, his grandfather's assistant led him to the study. Long Fei entered the room and saw that his father was there to accompany the old man to play a game of chess.

"Ah Fei, you're here. Come on, sit down." Long Yuan smiled when he saw his grandson enter the room. He glanced at his assistant and asked him to prepare a cup of tea for him as well.

Long Fei greeted the two men before he finally took a seat. Seeing that the two of them were still focusing on their game of chess, Long Fei decided to sit still and wait.

His mind whirled as he thought of the reason why his grandfather had called for him.

It did not seem as if there was any problem with their businesses. In fact, everything was going on well and it was reported that they were making a lot of profit.

With his father's appearance this time, the nature of discussion should be revolving around their ability or that troublesome group. However, both his grandfather and father seemed to be too laid-back to worry about such matters.. Long Fei had a lot of questions, but he could only wait until the two had finished their games.
