Chapter 214 Unknown message

  It was another ordinary day at work. Yan Mei was busy sorting out the other documents for the launch as she made sure that as the deadline inched in, she would double-check that there won’t be any mistakes–even the slightest–to make sure that everything was in place. 

”Mmkay… done,” Yan Mei mumbled as she stood up, stretching both of her arms to relax her muscles. 

As she walked towards the window of her office that overlooked the city, she got the ponytail that she wore as a bracelet on her wrist, then tied her hair. 

”Yan Mei!”

”My goodness!”

At the same moment, Su Bei had opened Yan Mei’s office door open and made her way in without even informing her that she would. It had surprised Yan Mei that she almost jumped in surprise. 

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at Su Bei as she put her hands on her waist, scolding her friend. 

”When did you start entering my office, without knocking?”, she said, Su Bei ignoring her warning as she grinned, walking towards her. 

”I had such a wonderful date with Leng Shao, Yan Mei! I can’t wait to tell you this!”

With the excitement etched in her voice, Yan Mei couldn’t help but playfully roll her eyes at Su Bei, smiling at her as she forgot that she was surprised by her friend’s sudden appearance in her office. 

”I could not only see the happiness on your eyes but on your lips as well,” Yan Mei commented, sitting on the couch beside her as she crossed her leg over the other. “Tell me what happened!”

Su Bei giggled, her laughter contagious as Yan Mei also laughed along with her. Su Bei excitedly sat on the single couch in front of Yan Mei, her eyes bright with eagerness as she told her what had happened during her date with Leng Shao. 

”Oh, it was so dreamy! It was like my dream date had become a reality right before my eyes!”

Yan Mei bit her bottom lip as she listened to excited Su Bei. She rarely saw her this way, so she felt happy to see her friend this overjoyed. 

”It’s only the first date, but we immediately clicked, you know? We even had nicknames for each other.”

”Oh?” Yan Mei smiled, showing her perfect white teeth. “What nicknames do you have for each other?” she asked, Su Bei giggling as she felt her cheeks flush, remembering what they called each other. 

”I told him how I feared horses, so he called me Gee-gee. Then, out of the blue, I had called him Leng-Leng, making his nickname sound like a cute nickname for a girl.”

Yan Mei tipped her head up as she laughed, finding their date funny as she felt happy for both of her friends to click. 

”I could see that you enjoyed,” Yan Mei commented, Su Bei nodding in agreement as a sweet smile appeared on her face. 

”Oh, more than that, Yan Mei… I couldn’t ask for more!” She swooned as she bit her lip, looking at her friend shyly as she continued talking. “Would it be stupid for me to say and think that he’s the one? I mean–it’s just the first date, but…”

Yan Mei could understand what Su Bei was telling her even without her completing her sentence. It was rare for Su Bei to be this happy, so Yan Mei right here and then wished that this happiness of her with Leng Shao would continue to be sweet and sincere. 

”I know what you mean, but you two just started. I couldn’t say what would happen just yet, but as Leng Shao is my friend, I know that he’s kind, and he wouldn’t dare to hurt you.”

”Mm…” Su Bei leaned in closer as if telling her friend a secret that other people shouldn’t hear even though they were alone inside of the office. “Can you ask him what he thinks of me?”

Yan Mei blinked her eyes a few times, “What?”

”Oh, come on…” Su Bei pouted her lips like a child. “Call him and ask him what he thinks of me… come on!”

”Oh, you…” 

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at Su Bei as she got her phone from her skirt’s pocket and proceeded to call Leng Shao. 

She put her phone on loudspeaker, and when the two heard the ring, Su Bei excitedly stood up as she sat beside Yan Mei. She almost held her breath as they waited for the person on the other line. 

”Yan Mei… what’s up?”

Su Bei stifled her swoon as she put both of her hands in front of her mouth, making sure that Leng Shao won’t hear her over the phone. Yan Mei gave her a look of warning as she spoke, asking Leng Shao how their date was. 

”Nothing. Just called to ask how the date was going?”

”Oh!” The two girls heard a chuckle at the other end of the call. “It was a fun date. I didn’t expect it. Su Bei, she’s enthralling–captivating.”

”Oh?” Yan Mei grinned as she watched Su Bei blushing, listening to their conversation. “Only on physical appearance?”

”No, no! Of course, not,” Leng Shao immediately replied, Su Bei biting on her bottom lip as she continued listening to his reply. “She’s humorous and witty. I like it. I want to get to know her better. I know there’s something more to her,” he added. 

Yan Mei laughed as she shook her head at Su Bei, who grabbed the pillow beside them and embraced it as if she was a teenage girl. 

”Would you ask her for more dates in the future?” she asked, Leng Shao nervously chuckling. 

”I would! But do you think she would like to meet me again?”

Su Bei widened her eyes as she mouthed, “Oh my God!” silently, Yan Mei stifling her laughter as she answered Leng Shao. 

”You would have to ask her again to know, right?”

”Right,” Leng Shao replied, “I would have to prepare by then,” he added, Yan Mei giggling as she narrowed her eyes at Su Bei, whose face was as red as a tomato. 

”Good. That’s all I wanted to ask you. Goodbye.”

”Mm. Goodbye. Thanks for setting us up.”

The moment the call ended, Su Bei blushed and smiled.

”Stop being a young girl, jeez,” Yan Mei commented.

”Thanks for letting me meet him, Yan Mei,” she thanked her. Yan Mei laughed as she raised a brow at her friend, teasing her. 

”If this goes well, I’d automatically be the bridesmaid, okay?”

Before Yan Mei could even reply, she heard a ping from her phone. When she checked, her eyebrows creased to have seen a message from an unsaved number.

’Who could have known my number,’ she thought to herself, ‘I rarely give out my number to anyone.’

”What’s wrong?” 

Su Bei saw the discomfort in Yan Mei’s face, but Yan Mei did not reply to her question. 

With a little bit of hesitation in her fingers, she opened the message. Her face turned pale, and her heart sank to the bottom as she felt scared of the text she had received from the mysterious sender. 

”Run, little kitty. Run.”
