Chapter 134: Underground Relationship

In the evening, Su Ruan hopped on her cousin's pickup truck and headed to the town center. Ma Yu Xi parked nearby the teahouse that she had visited previously with Long Fei before and turned around, seemingly heading to another place.

"Yu Xi, are you not going to come with me?" Su Ruan asked when she noticed that her cousin was not heading in the same direction.

"Sister Ruan, you go ahead." Ma Yu XI flashed her a teasing smile. "I won't come with you and be the third wheel."

Su Ruan chuckled. "Are you sure?"

"I'm going to the store to pick up something that my mom asked to get," Ma Yu Xi said. "Just call me when you're done. I'll come over and meet you here."

Su Ruan did not try to convince her cousin again. Seeing that Ma Yu Xi had left, Su Ruan turned around and walked into the teashop.

As her last visit, this time, the teashop was still as quiet as it was before. A staff greeted her at the entrance and led her to a private room once she gave her name.

When she walked into the room, Long Fei was already waiting for her inside.

Seeing the smile on his face made her blush. Su Ruan took off her jacket and sit down across him. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No. I just arrived a couple of minutes before you." Long Fei picked up the teapot and poured her some tea. "Your cousin did not come over with you?"

"Mmm… She said she's running a few errands." Su Ruan took a sip from the tea and instantly, the fresh and fragrant taste coated her mouth. When she looked up again, Long Fei was still watching her with a hot gaze, making her shy.

The staff walked over and left the room after taking their order of food.

Su Ruan cleared her throat and leaned over, "Mr. Long, why are we meeting secretly like this?"

Previously, Long Fei would show up at the orchard to pick her up. But now that she had agreed to date him, Long Fei had asked to meet at the town center.

Su Ruan did not mind much about this arrangement. But seeing the man's face made her want to tease him a little bit.

As she said those words, Su Ruan was suddenly reminded of Ma Yu Xi's remark the other day. "Tell me, are you keeping me as an underground girlfriend?"

Long Fei laughed. "Underground girlfriend? You really have too much imagination." He pretended to be in deep thought and continued, "These days, the elders from my family are keeping their eyes on me. Hmm… You are probably right. I am trying to keep you a secret."

Su Ruan did not know whether this man was joking or telling her the truth. After all, she did not understand much about his family. Su Ruan had only heard a little bit from her cousin that his family was quite complicated. But aren't all rich families like that?

"You don't want your family to know about me?" Su Ruan decided to play along.

The smile on his face widened. "The moment my family knows about your existence, I will be forced to bring you home. Su Ruan, are you ready to meet my elders and the rest of my family members?"

Her heartbeat accelerated just at the thought of meeting his family members.

They only went to a few dates previously. Of course, she was not ready to meet his family. Meeting his family would signify that they were ready to enter another stage of their relationship, right? At this time, she was still in the process of getting to know him.

Su Ruan was still in disbelief that she was dating someone like Long Fei. After all, the two of them were living in a different world. How would she dare to face his elders?

"If you agree, then, I will arrange a meeting with my elders," Long Fei continued. "After all, I am not getting younger and my elders are getting anxious."

Su Ruan coughed. "It's too early to be talking about this."

Long Fei merely smiled as he was enjoying the shy look on her face.

A while later, the staff returned with their order of food. The two of them continued to chat about various things as they ate their meal.

Mostly, it was Long Fei who asked Su Ruan about her writing.

The phone in Su Ruan's bag chimed. Su Ruan picked up and looked at the messages that her friend, Lin Qing had sent to her. A frown appeared on her face when she recalled that she will need to head to Capital City again.

The editor from the previous company that she had worked at had wanted to introduce her to another company. Even though it was a freelance writing job, the company wanted to meet her and discuss a few things.

Later, she will have to attend Yu Zhi Yi's wedding as his best woman.

These past few days, Yu Zhi Yi had texted and reminded her that she needed to come over and choose her outfit.

However, Su Ruan was still undecided about her living arrangement. Initially, she wanted to crash in at Lin Qing's place. But on the day that she was heading to Capital City, Lin Qing would not be around as she was going outstation with her boss.

"Is there a problem?" Long Fei asked upon noticing that the girl has been staring at her phone with a frown on her face for a long time.

Su Ruan tapped her reply to Lin Qing and placed her phone on her side. Thinking that the person in front of her was her boyfriend, Su Ruan decided to tell him the truth. "It's just that, I'm planning to head to Capital City in a few weeks."

"You're moving away from D Town?" Long Fei could not hide his surprise.

"No. I'll be going there for a few weeks. You remember my friend that we met at the carnival right?" She lowered her gaze to pick up a few dishes. "He's getting married and I'm supposed to show up as his best woman."

"His best woman?"

Su Ruan shrugged. "Well, we have been friends for years. That's right. He told me that I should bring my boyfriend to his wedding as my plus one."

The last time they ran into Yu Zhi Yi at the carnival, Long Fei had introduced himself as her boyfriend. Yu Zhi Yi thought she was dating him and had invited him to his wedding as well.

Su Ruan smiled. "Mr. Long, do you want to accompany me to this wedding?"

"Alright. Just tell me when are you heading to Capital City. I'll accompany you." He could always visit the company and deal with some work while meeting Su Ruan's best friend as well.

His eyes narrowed at the thought of meeting those troublesome people at the wedding.

Long Fei looked up again.. "If you haven't made any arrangement, then, I can arrange everything for you."
