Chapter 173 - Apple Restaurant

After talking with the psychiatrist, De Longjun spend some days without calling Zan Guiying. The missed call numbers increased in his call log.

One day.

"What is it secretary Li?!" De Longjun was looking at some documents.

"Mr. De. Miss Zan called me a few moments before." He informed.

De Longjun kept the documents back in the table and rubbed his temples. "Mm.... He nodded."

"May I suggest something to you sir?!" Secretary Li asked.

"Say it."

"Why don't you call miss Zan?! You can just talk to her and say to not disturb you." He suggested.

"No." If I hear her voice again, I will remember that memories I am trying hard to forget.

"Yes. Sir." Secretary Li bowed and turned.

"Wait. I want to ask you something."

"Yes. Mr. De."

"Find a girl for me to date. She should be quiet according to my standards. And a women I have met before. Someone who can keep our relationship under wraps."

"Understood mr. De." A women according to your standards. From where would I find her?

"Find by tomorrow."

"Yes. Mr. De." Secretary Li bowed and left again.

***

Next day.

"Sir. Its the list of women whom I have found." Secretary Li placed the documents in the desk.

De Longjun took it and opened the file.

"Actually it was a few numbers of girls you have talked with." Secretary Li informed.

"I noticed." De Longjun answered. "Do you have anyone in mind?!"

"If I say... There is miss Jessica. You saw her in Australia."

"Mm.... Yes I remember."

"She also had dinner with her."

"Mm..... Why did you think she can keep her mouth shut?!"

"Miss Jessica is one of the number one actress in our country. She also signed number of many international projects. So she needs a backer to support her in outside. And she also can't reveal she is in a relationship because of her contract with our entertainment company. She is obligated to keep it."

"Good. Her whereabouts currently?!"

"She is currently in country. I got informed that she will be eating ouch at 'Apples' tomorrow."

"Good. The meeting would be coincidental."

"Understood Mr. De." Secretary Li nodded and left.

De Longjun kept the files aside and took his phone. And opened the tracking app. She is in school.... He sighed.....

"Did you pack all the items?!" Bo Ehuang asked Zan Guiying.

"Yes mommy. Most of the essentials were packed. Remaining would be bought from there!! Okay?!"

"Mm.... Good. Don't forget anything. Understood?!"

"Yes. Mommy."

"Sister. Pack this too!!" Zan Mengyao and Zan Yichen gave her a bottle filled with origami stars.

"Kids. Its a glass bottle. It might get broken during the journey." Bo Ehuang stopped them.

The kids became sad.

"Mommy. What about it? I will take the paper stars in a plastic bottle and buy a glass one from Spain."

"Thank you sis!!" Both her siblings hugged her.

"Its a good decision. Let me ask in the kitchen. There might be one bottle."

"Okay. Mommy." She nodded.

Bo Ehuang smiled and got up.

"Then we will go with mommy too!!" Her siblings also got up from there.

"Okay." She nodded and her siblings ran after their mother.

Zan Guiying opened her phone again. He never called me back..... But I know you are here.... She looked at her ankles.... The anklet sparkled... I will come to see you tomorrow..... Big brother Jun..... She decided.....

Next day. Apple restaurant.

"Ughh!! The food in that wretched place!! My stomach was screaming!!" Jessica drank some barley water.

When coming to here, she accidentally met some fans from a roadside food shop. Acting as a nice person, she ate one piece of their skewers.

"Let me remind you. Tomorrow change that car and throw away my high heels."

"Understood Jess." Her secretary nodded.

Wait who was that? Is that De Longjun? Jessica looked. Her intuition was right. It was De Longjun.

"Hey. Invite them for lunch." She nudged her assistant.

She nodded and walked towards De Longjun and secretary Li.

"Mr. De and mr. Li. Nice to meet you. Do you remember me?!"

"Hello. You are missing Jessica's assistant. Right?!" Secretary Li asked.

"Yes. Not also me, but miss Jessica is also here." She pointed at Jessica who was sitting far.

"Oh!!"

"Mr. De. If possible... Would you like to have lunch with us?! We have already booked a room."

Secretary Li looked at his boss. Then answered. "Thank you for inviting us. Please lead us to the room."

"Oh!! Please come with me." The assistant smiled. Jess!! It was successful!!

"Mr. De. Please come with us." Jessica stood up and smiled.

All of the four walked to the private room area.

The lunch went on smoothly.

"Miss Jessica do you have any plans for day after tomorrow?!" De Longjun suddenly asked.

The table fell silent.

What!! Is my dream coming true? De Longjun is asking me for a date?!?!?!

Impossible!! Is Mr De asking Jess for a date?

Good. Boss. You practiced well. The tone is almost right!! The words are correct!! But you should practice more..... But it's okay. Continue!! Continue the conversation!!

Three different people had three different talks in their heads.

"No. Mr De. I am free on day after tomorrow." Jessica answered.

"Good. One of the hollywood producers will be coming on day after tomorrow. Of you come, it would be beneficial for you." De Longjun said.

"Thank you Mr. De. I would be there." Jessica smiled. Oh!! Its work related!!

"What about tomorrow? Are you free?!"

"Tomorrow?! Yes!! I am!!" Don't make me dream!! Mr De.

"Then come and have a dinner with us."

"Oh!! Yes." WHAT!! DINNER WITH DE LONGJUN? IS HE FINALLY NOTICING ME?!

"Yes miss Jessica. We had lunch with you now. Mr De like to give you a return dinner." Secretary Li explained.

"Oh..... Thank you Mr. De. We will be surely there." Jessica's secretary answered."

Jessica nodded too."

"Then we would be leaving." De Longjun stood up.

"Thank you for the lunch." Secretary Li also stood up along with him.

Jessica smiled. I will climb to you with this small opportunity..... De Longjun..... You won't know anything... She smirked after they left....

***

Next day.

"Welcome you master. Miss Zan is waiting for you in the room." Mrs Huo smiled.

De Longjun took a deep breath and stormed into his room.

Like the housekeeper said, Zan Guiying was in the room.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! GET OUT!!" He shouted.....

After sometime, he left to the bathroom to take a bath..... When came back..... There was an anklet it the table..... De Longjun looked at it for sometime and crumbled the note beside it.....
