Chapter 109: 108 I Think He Did

Xiao Zhi Ren watched Ru's figure disappearing behind the door and whirled his body 360 degrees. He was trying to figure out whose voice he just heard. But there was no one in sight.

"Who is here?" He asked and felt like an idiot.

"Only me and you, Mr. Guest." He heard the same voice again but didn't see anyone again!

"And who you might be?" Xiao Zhi Ren questioned feeling intrigued.

"Master named me Raven. I'm master's personalized virtual assistant." Raven replied.

Xiao Zhi Ren was a bit surprised to know that Raven was a virtual assistant. Being the CEO of a Tech Empire, he had his fair share of dealing with virtual assistants. But something about Raven seemed different to him.

"Raven? He... I mean she named you Raven? That's interesting." Taking a moment of silence, he asked, "So, why are you named Raven?"

"Sorry, I'm not authorized to tell you that."

Before he could divulge into questioning Raven about Ru, his phone rang. In the silent apartment, his ringtone seemed to echo. It made him realize how minimalistic design this condo had.

Seeing the caller id, Xiao Zhi Ren smiled softly. "Hey, Granna!"

"Ren, you didn't call me back. I was so worried thinking about that friend of yours." His Grandmother's voice was accusatory but he knew she was really concerned.

"Granna, don't worry. He's okay now. I took him to the hospital and his condition is a lot better now." Xiao Zhi Ren stated patiently while looking at the paintings on the walls.

"Oh thank goodness!" He could hear her heaving a sigh of relief. "Who is this friend of yours?"

"There is someone..." He gave a vague answer.

"Is it the one you brought to the banquet the other night?" Xiao Zhi Ren felt like there was something odd with his grandmother's tone. Or was he overthinking?

"Yeah. It's the same one." Shaking the ridiculous thoughts out of his mind, he answered.

"Hmm... I have heard a lot about that young man," the ambiguous tone of his grandmother was really saying something. But he couldn't understand it at all.

"You did?"

"Your grandfather won't stop talking about him. From how successful, capable he is to how insanely gorgeous he is. I've heard all about it." Old Madam Ji was really amused since she had never heard her own husband gushing over someone like that. Before Xiao Zhi Ren could speak, she said, "Why don't you bring him for dinner someday? I didn't get a chance to see that young man at the banquet."

Xiao Zhi Ren thought for a moment and answered, "I'll ask him. I'm not sure if he'll agree. But I'll try my best."

"Okay... I hope he really didn't bent you," Old Madam Ji said in a joking manner.

Xiao Zhi Ren heard the click sound of the door and turned to see Ru walking out of the room in V-neck full sleeve gray shirt with matching cargo pants. There was a towel around her neck while water dripping down from her hair as they fell handsomely over her forehead.

From where he stood, he could see her skin glistening as the light fell on the droplets that were trailing down her honey-colored skin. As she walked towards him, his gaze fell on her collar-bones which were visible because of the V-neck of the shirt.

In a daze, Xiao Zhi Ren answered, "I think he did." 'Who wouldn't be?' It was a good thing, he kept the latter part to himself.

"What? Are you serious?" Xiao Zhi Ren was startled by the roaring voice of his grandmother.

He cleared his throat and said, "Relax, Granna. I was messing with you." Not waiting for her reply, he went on, "Bye, Granna! I gotta go. Take care of yourself. Please, don't strain your body again. I don't want to see you on a bed again."

Old Madam Ji completely forgot of what he said earlier. These words of concern were enough for her to feel satisfied. Although she was very happy inwardly, she still pretended to be broody, "Fine, Fine. Stop nagging like your grandfather. You also take care of yourself."

When Xiao Zhi Ren hung up the phone, he lifted his eyelids and took a step back because of the way Ru was grinning at him. Seeing him avoiding her eyes, Ru frowned a bit. "Zhi, why does it seem like you're scared of me?"

"I-I'm not." He stuttered before getting back his composure.

Ru didn't believe him at all. She could see the way he was playing with his fingers.

Crossing the distance between them in a couple of steps, Ru held the lapel of his suit jacket and pushed him against the wall behind them.
