Chapter 15: Can You Keep Up?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jin Yebei frowned when he read Ning Ruxing’s message. He wanted to pick her up, but she refused. Perhaps she was afraid that her classmates would see and gossip about it, so Jin Yebei didn’t insist. He simply replied with an ‘okay’. Ning Ruxing saw the reply, thought for a while, and then quickly typed back.

[I’ll see you at the entrance of the zoo at 9:30 am tomorrow, then!]

Ning Ruxing didn’t say anything else. She just wanted to forget about today’s incident as soon as possible. And the best way to forget it was to keep herself busy. Ning Ruxing sat in front of the computer until midnight, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. As she lay on her bed, she recalled Jin Yebei’s words and expressions when he met the client today.

Although they were in the client’s territory, Jin Yebei still sat calmly. He would listen to anyone who spoke. And when it was his turn to speak, his logic was clear and his speech was smooth. Even if he just sat there without saying a word, his aura could suppress the other party. Perhaps this was the reason Sen Ran became a big corporation in such a short time.

Jin Yebei’s history of making a fortune had always been a legend to others. It was said that Sen Ran only had a small office in the beginning. Jin Yebei started from a young age and slowly achieved what he had today. Moreover, Jin Yebei’s age was a mystery. He looked like he was in his twenties. Even if he started a business at the age of fifteen, he would only be twenty-eight or twenty-nine now!

Ning Ruxing’s mind was filled with all these thoughts so she was able to gradually forget about the embarrassing incidents today. When she woke up the next day, she was full of energy. Since the weather was good, she opened the window to get some fresh air. As for her other roommates, they were still immersed in their dreams. After a simple wash-up, she put on a light blue dress that was designed by a gold-class designer and her master for her. It was called the Heart of the Sea, and it was a unique piece. It was Ning Ruxing’s coming-of-age gift.

There was a black Bentley was parked in front of the dormitory. Ning Ruxing went straight to the car, opened the door, and sat in it. This car was Ning Ruxing’s car, but she usually let her subordinate drive it as it was the car she used to be picked up. Shiraj was sitting in the driver’s seat as he immediately said, “Boss, you have to be careful later. That snake is too fierce. I heard that even the breeder was almost eaten by it!”

When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was stunned for a moment. After so many years, the snake should remember her and would not hurt her, right? But why was it locked up in the zoo? Furthermore, he didn’t even communicate with anyone. “Perhaps it’s not the snake at all,” said Ning Ruxing to Shiraj indifferently, shaking her head.

“If it really is him, it won’t do anything to me.”

Shiraj did not say much as he started the car. When they were about to arrive, Ning Ruxing asked Shiraj to park the car by the subway. Ning Ruxing got off the car and walked over. From a distance, she saw a tall man in a light blue shirt at the entrance of the zoo. In addition to the ticket in his hand, he also had two ice cream cones. The scene looked a little incongruous.

Upon a better look, Ning Ruxing saw that the ice cream had melted a little. Jin Yebei must have been waiting at the zoo entrance for a while. Ning Ruxing didn’t expect the dignified Chairman to have such a cute side. She hastened her steps and walked over. Seeing Ning Ruxing coming over, Jin Yebei handed her one of the ice creams in his hand and said, “I’ve already bought the tickets. Let’s go.”

Ning Ruxing took the ice cream and wanted to tell him that she had already booked the ticket on the phone. But since Jin Yebei had already bought tickets as well, she would have to request for a refund next time. Ning Ruxing licked the ice cream and followed behind Jin Yebei. She thought to herself that it was only the second day of work and she was already going to the zoo with her boss. How strange!

As Jin Yebei walked, he felt that Ning Ruxing seemed to be walking slower and slower. The distance between the two was getting wider with each step he took. He suddenly stopped and waited for Ning Ruxing. After all, they came together, so shouldn’t they walk together? When Ning Ruxing came closer, Jin Yebei said.

“Am I walking too fast? Are you having a hard time keeping up?”

Ning Ruxing immediately walked closer. She had been thinking about something just now, so she unconsciously started to walk a little slower. However, even at normal walking speeds, Ning Ruxing couldn’t usually keep up with Jin Yebei. Jin Yebei was so tall and his legs were so long. One step for Jin Yebei was two steps for Ning Ruxing.

“No, you’re not too fast. I can keep up!”
