Chapter 151: Her Father Phone Call

After walking around on the street for a while longer, both of them finally returned to their hotel. When they arrived at their suite, the two of them stared at each other awkwardly.

Or actually, it was Su Ruan who found it awkward.

While they were in D Town, Long Fei would send her back until they reach the front of her Grandpa's orchard. But this time, Long Fei was sending her to her door.

Su Ruan did not know how to react to this situation. Her hands were tugging at the hem of her shirt as she was thinking of what she should do.

Just then, Long Fei leaned over and kissed her cheek, making her stunned. His lips curled into a smile. "Good night."

Su Ruan touched the spot where he had kissed her and started to blush.

"Go in and rest. Tomorrow, let's have breakfast together before you head out to see your friends." Long Fei stretched his hand to push a few strands of hair behind her ear.

Worried that he would scare her, Long Fei took a step back and turned around to head back to his room.

Su Ruan took a deep breath as she watched his retreating back. "Long Fei."

The man turned around looked at her questioningly.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

Long Fei let out a chuckle and nodded. "I'll see you tomorrow." He watched as she enter her room before he turned to his room.

A faint smile appeared on his face when he thought about Su Ruan's reddened face. However, the smile disappeared again when he thought about her childhood story.

Although she had said that she did not mind what happened, Long Fei could tell that the girl was sad that her parents were divorced and she could not see her mother as much as she liked to.

Her sadness was something that he too could feel.

…

Su Ruan woke up early in the morning with a dazed look on her face. The mattress and pillow were very comfortable that she did not want to wake up. However, the phone on the side table continued to ring, urging her to wake up.

It took her a while for her to realize that she was staying in the Presidential Suite of The Orchid Hotel. Once the realization came over, Su Ruan sat up quickly and gasped.

Before she could sort out her mind, the phone that had stopped ringing a few seconds ago started to ring again.

Su Ruan finally reached for her phone and stared at the caller ID with a complicated look on her face. Just before the phone stopped ringing, Su Ruan slid her finger on the screen and pressed the phone to her ear.

"Su Ruan?" Her father's voice was heard on the other line.

"Dad, sorry. I was sleeping just now."

"It's already late." Su Yu reminded his daughter.

"Mmm… I know. I was busy with my work last night," Su Ruan said.

There was a long silence on Su Yu's side. "Your stepmother said she ran into you at the restaurant last night. You were with your boyfriend?"

Last night, his wife had called and told him about this. Hearing that his daughter was now in a relationship made him anxious. Su Yu wanted to give her a call right away. However, it was already in the middle of the night.

Su Yu forced himself to calm down and called her again in the morning.

His worry caused him to lose his sleep. Su Yu waited until he had breakfast with the kids before she finally dialed his daughter's number.

Hearing that the girl had only woken up from her sleep, Su Yu's mind began to wander. Of course, if Su Yu knew that his daughter was staying in the same suite with her boyfriend, he would definitely go crazy.

Su Ruan heaved a breath when she heard her father's words. The moment she saw her father's name on the caller ID, she had already guessed at what her father wanted to ask.

She had prepared herself for this conversation with her father.

"Mmm… Mother had already told you about it?"

"If she did not run into you at the restaurant, are you going to keep this a secret from me?"

"It's not that," Su Ruan. "But we recently got together. I think I wanted to wait for a while before I can tell you about him."

In the end, Su Ruan spent her morning talking to her father about her boyfriend. When the call ended, Su Ruan realized that she only have a little time before her appointment with her former editor.

She ran into the bathroom to take a quick shower and came out. However, just as she was about to step out of the door, Su Ruan ran into a wall and had almost fell backward.

A warm arm encircled her waist, preventing her from falling.

When she looked up again, Su Ruan was surprised to see Long Fei's face a few inches away from her. His eyes were watching him with concern.

"Are you alright?"

Su Ruan stared back at him with her eyes wide. Then, she slowly nodded. "I'm alright."

"Can you stand up?"

Su Ruan nodded again.

With Long Fei's help, Su Ruan stood up again. She lowered her head and adjusted her clothes.

"Sorry. I was about to knock on your door when you suddenly came out," Long Fei explained. "I remember that you have an appointment with your former editor. I thought you were still sleeping and would be late for the meeting."

It was then that she realized that the 'wall' was actually Long Fei's chest. "Thank you." Su Ruan bit her lower lips and pointed to the door. "I should go now."

Before the girl could turn around and leave, Long Fei held her arms to stop her. "Go and have your breakfast first. It's not good to begin your morning with an empty stomach."

"But I'm already late." Su Ruan was still worried. She still needed to catch up with the bus to head over to the meeting location.

"Don't worry about it," Long Fei said. "I already arranged transportation for you. Someone will drive you over to your meeting location. For now, you should have your breakfast."

After a brief hesitation, Su Ruan finally agreed.
