The clock hit 10am and a white BMW x5m parked in front of Imperial Hotel. Stepping out of the car, Yue Ling handed the valet worker her car keys. She stood in front of the busy side walk and stare up at the tall hotel. It wasn't as eye catching as Lu Tian's Rosewood Hotel, but it was still pleasing to the eyes.
Before coming here, Liu Shan and Lin Hui had offer to drive her, but she declined their offer. There were still a lot of things to prepare for the fashion show and the matter with the Nuo family. Besides, she can look after herself.
As she looks at the hotel structure, her eyes dim in remembrance of what Ning Mei did to her. She will forgive the woman for what she did, because it was Ning Mei who allowed her to meet Lu Tian. However, never will she forget what Ning Mei did. Retribution is not far for Ning Mei.
Lifting her leg, she walks towards the door entrance and into the hotel. What Yue Ling did not see was that two cars behind her car was none other than Liu Shan's car. The assistant stepped out of the car with Lin Hui on the passenger side.
Both men glance at each other then headed for the hotel as they put their sunglasses on. Their boss had said for them not to follow, but how can they just sit back and watch their boss meet with that scoundrel Ning Xingyu.
Inside Imperial Hotel, the front desk lady sees Yue Ling and she smiles, "Hi Miss, what can I do for you today?"
"I have a meeting with Mr. Ning."
Yue Ling answers the worker with a warm smile. She wasn't all to familiar with the hotel, so it was best to have a worker help her.
The front desk lady nods her head and picks up the phone on her desk. She dials a number and speaks to the other line.
"Hi, this is the front desk. Mr. Ning's guest has arrive.. Alright, I will send her." She hangs up the phone and stood up from her seat, "Miss, the security will escort you."
"Mm, thank you."
From the side, a security guard walks up to Yue Ling and he gesture with his hand, "This way please."
Yue Ling did not answer but follows the guard towards the restaurant. When she was no longer in sight, the front desk lady sat back down in her seat and sighed.
Every time. Ning Xingyu comes to Imperial Hotel, he is always meeting with different woman. Surprisingly, each women he meets is extremely pretty. Sighing again, she touch her cheeks and pout. She isn't that bad looking, why hasn't she gotten herself a boyfriend....
"Hi, Miss."
A man's voice suddenly sounds from above her. The front desk lady looks up and sees two charming men. One stood like a cold being while the other was the opposite.
She swallow a big chunk of saliva and smiles. Today must be her lucky day to encounter two hunks!
"Y-Yes.... How can I help you today?"
Liu Shan leans on the counter and he takes off his sunglasses. His chin rested on his hand and he smiles to the woman, "Can we get a table for two in a private room please."
"....."
The woman's smile froze upon Liu Shan's words. She looks at Liu Shan then to Lin Hui who was coldly standing behind with his sunglasses still on. Her cheeks flush red as she thought of something.
'Oh, god! What was I thinking? What hunks? These two....'
"Is there a problem?"
Liu Shan tilt his head since the woman was not responding back. He looked even more charming than when he first enter the doors of Imperial Hotel.
Hearing the question, the woman quickly came out of her daze. She shook her head, "No, no problem at all. A waiter will be with you shortly and take you to your room."
"Mm, thank you then, Miss."
Finishing his words, Liu Shan turns to Lin Hui and nudge his head indicating a signal.
Understanding right away, both men did not waste another second and walks in the direction of the restaurant.
From behind, the worker sighed again. She rest her elbow on the desk and her chin on her palm. Rich men are taken by beautiful women, while handsome men are taken by handsome men....
Walking through the hall way, Yue Ling follow the security guard to the end of the hall. Until they arrived at the door, the guard knocks on the door then turn the knob.
Pushing the door open, he looks at Yue Ling, "Please enter, Miss. Chairman Ning is a honor guest of Imperial Hotel, he has requested for a private room for dining."
Yue Ling nod her head and enters the room without any hesitation. As the door closes behind her, she see a man in his thirties seated alone in rather large round table. His light brown hair looked like silk with the sunlight in the background.
Ning Xingyu hears the soft noise of the door closing. His head lift up and there, she stood. The most breath taking woman he has ever laid eyes on. Her body was covered more than all the women he's been with, but she still had a minimal amount of skin exposed.
He has long dream of this day for many years and finally, he has the chance to meet her in person.
His lip curl awards and he stood from his chair.
"Miss Han, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I am TB Corps's Chairman, Ning Xingyu."
Walking over to her, he stretch a hand out and smiles at the woman of his dreams.
Yue Ling nod her head in a polite greeting. Due to her professionalism, she could not deny the hand shake.
"It is nice to meet you too, Mr. Ning."
"No need for formalities. Please call me Ning Xingyu." Ning Xingyu quickly replies and gesture to a chair, "Please sit. I will have the waiter bring the food."
Yue Ling sits on the chair as Ning Xingyu sits in the chair across from her. She looks at the man and she could see why Lian Ni Shang was worried for her.
Just from one look, she could already see that Ning Xingyu was a dangerous man. Not the kind of dangerous that attracts a person, but the kind of dangerous that lures women into bed with him. Of course, given his good looks, it's no wonder the man acts in such manner.
Leaning back in his chair, Ning Xingyu picks up his phone and dials a number. Within 2 seconds, the call answers and he ask for the waiters to bring in the food. Ending the call, he set his phone in his coat pocket and looks at Yue Ling.
"I'm quite taken by surprise that Miss Han is the CEO of De L'amour."
Hearing his words, Yue Ling smiles a faint smile, "I assume Mr. Ning has his sources to know such matter."
Ning Xingyu chuckles at Yue Ling's response. He leans forward and both his elbows rest on the table as his fingers interlock.
"I do have my sources, but my sources did not clarify that you were the CEO. This is just a coincidence."
Of course, he cannot say that it was Ming Yue who leaked this information out. After all, he still has some use for the woman.
As their conversation takes place, a knock comes from the door and it was pushed open. Entering the private room was two waiters. One carrying a tray of food while the other push a cart of food and drinks.
"Set the dishes down then leave. I have to discuss something important with Miss Han."
Ning Xingyu spoke calmly as he glance at the waiters and then nod his head like giving a signal.
Seeing this, one of the waiter nod his head in secret. Both men quickly set the table and leaves the room returning it to quietness.
Silently watching this scene, Yue Ling furrow her brows. Both men were waiters, but why were they dressed in casual clothes? Shouldn't a waiter be in uniform? To make things even more suspicious, they were wearing caps...
Seeing the confused look on Yue Ling's expression, Ning Xingyu smiles to assure his dream woman.
"I hope Miss Han is not offended. Those two waiters are my men. Every time I step out in public, all the food I plan to eat must be handled by my own people."
He spoke these words, but they were not the truth. He had bribed some of the higher staffs here about his plan. The two waiters that came in were really his people, but also part of his plan. His plan to drug and bed the woman in this very room with him.
As he thinks of his plan, he couldn't help but want the woman more. To have her bare naked and screaming under him. Just thinking of the beautiful deity in his arms, he could feel the lust in him takes its turn. Of course, for now, he has to be polite and act like a gentleman.
"Miss Han, please eat. Once finish, we can discuss about today's important meeting."
Yue Ling looked at the many different plate of dishes set on the table. The aroma was very tasty and her baby was hungry.
However, the thing bothering her is, can she trust the food here?
Pondering for a moment, she remembers something and the corner of her lip curl upwards. It was a smile so small, that Ning Xingyu did not see.
As Yue Ling enjoyed her food inside the private room with Ning Xingyu, outside in the hall way, both the waiters walked to the kitchen. However, when they near, instead of going into the kitchen, both men stopped by a shut door.
One of the waiter looks around the area to see if anyone was coming. Seeing that the cost was clear, the other man opens the door and both figures enter inside.
"MFF!!! MFF!!"
The door quietly closed with the sound of muffling inside before it turned silence.
Inside the room, both men looked down at the cause of the muffle sound. It was two other men sitting on the floor. They were tied up and had rags over their mouth, but their eyes were glaring with rage.
One of the waiter takes a step forward and he squat down in front of both men. Taking his cap off, he reveals his charming face to both men. He leans in closer to the men and he takes the rag out of one of the men's mouth. His voice was as cold as winter as he speaks.
"What is Ning Xingyu's plan?"
"To hell we will tell you!"
The other waiter looks at both men who were tied. He takes off his cap and his fingers ran through his hair, "Seems like we'll have to use other kinds of methods."
Hearing the second man's words, both men who were tied's eyes widen in fear. The man sounded so carefree, but at the same time it was a tone that could freeze a person's soul.
"W-Who are y-you people?"
The men who did not have a rag in his mouth stutter in question. When they arrived here and was given order, they did not see this turn of event.
The second man shrug his shoulder with indifference. He points to himself, "I am Liu Shan," then he points to the other waiter, "and he is Lin Hui."
Lin Hui: "...."
Lin Hui was even more dumbfounded. He stare with heavy eyes at Liu Shan. So much for cover up. Shaking his head, he stood up and frown at Liu Shan.
"Do you really have to give names to these people?"
Hearing Lin Hui's words, both men still tied sneer inside thinking the same thing. Once they leave this place they can give names to have these two men destroyed. Of course, Liu Shan's next words was something neither of them had expected.
"I only give out information to those who won't be living for long."
Looking at both men who's sneer was wiped off their faces, one end of Liu Shan's lip arc upwards. It made him look devilishly charming and dangerous. Even Lin Hui who saw this look many times couldn't help but shudder.
"Now, tell me, what does Ning Xingyu plan to do with my boss?"
