Shao Yan nodded along with her words, "En, I guess you are right. I don't need to stress out too much."
They finally arrived in front of the meeting room.
Risa had reached out her hand and was about to open the glass door when Shao Yan suddenly said, "Sis, when we are meeting his sister and his brother in law for dinner next week, don't forget to also bring along brother Kei. I have never met him yet."
Her hand was paused midair, and her eyes were just blinking at Yan Yan; trying to think of a reply.
"S-sure, I will introduce you to him next time. But he will not be joining for dinner," and then she quickly said, "Yan Yan, let's go in now and continue our chat later, alright?"
Shao Yan peeked through the door gap and saw so many people were already sitting inside. She nodded her head, and Risa continued to slide the glass door open and both of them quickly walked inside.
.....
When Shao Yan went back home that night, she drove to the underground parking garage right away. After she had parked her Mazda at her usual spot, Shao Yan grabbed her laptop bag from the front passenger seat, and then she got out of the car.
On a habit, she scanned her surroundings to see if Li Xiqing was already home.
Shao Yan saw that his Audi was already parked at his usual spot, and when she was about to walk away, Shao Yan noticed that Mandy's Jaguar was not around. Li Xiqing would sometimes drive the car to keep the engine healthy. And she knew that he would always park the SUV next to his.
Shao Yan tilted her head to the side, wondering if Li Xiqing might have driven out, or was Mandy already back.
She started to walk to the elevator and reminded herself to ask Li Xiqing later.
When she finally arrived in front of the elevator, Shao Yan noticed that a man was already standing there; waiting for the elevator.
'The man looked like he was about Li Xiqing's height, so he must be around 6 ft,' she thought to herself.
He was typing away on his phone, his dark wavy hair was styled neatly, and not a single hair escaped as he was looking down.
He had a black turtleneck shirt with black dress pants; paired with a black and white houndstooth print suit jacket. A square of black silk handkerchief was folded inside the front pocket. The man looked both stylish and elegant at the same time.
He looked to be around late thirties or maybe forties. Shao Yan could not see his face clearly, so she was just guessing.
As she walked closer, Shao Yan started to notice his long prominent eyebrows, he also had slight mustache and goatee. For other people; this facial hair combination might have looked weird. But on this man, his facial hair actually enhanced his charm and oozed a strong masculinity.
He seemed to have heard that someone was approaching his direction. As Shao Yan was about two or three steps away, the man looked up and stared into her intently. His almond shaped eyes were looking at Shao Yan for a couple of seconds, before he pulled his stare away, and continued to type on his phone again.
Shao Yan kept her face cool and calm, 'New neighbor or visitor?' she thought to herself.
.....
When the elevator arrived, the man stepped forward a little, and held the door open.
He had one hand holding the edge of the door, a he glanced to the side and looked at Shao Yan, "After you," and when he finished saying that, he flashed her a polite smile.
His other hand with palm facing up was pointing towards the elevator; allowing Shao Yan to enter first.
"Thank you," Shao Yan gave a small nod at him, and stepped inside.
The man walked in after her and asked, "Which floor?"
"23, thank you," Shao Yan said as she stepped to the side; keeping a good distance from the stranger.
He lifted his hand and pressed on two numbers onto the keypad; 19 and 23.
When the door closed, the man inserted both of his hands into his pants pocket. One feet was tapping on the floor along to the soft humming music inside the elevator.
Shao Yan started to think of what to cook for dinner tonight; she painted an imaginary picture of her fridge and started to list down what she had.
'Xiqing mentioned that he wanted to eat some radish soup. Maybe I should start with that,' she thought to herself while planning on what to cook for dinner.
When the elevator reached floor 19, the man turned around to her and said, "Have a good night," and then he stepped out without waiting for Shao Yan to answer.
Shao Yan did not think too much about it, and she went back to planning her dinner.
.....
"Yan Yan, you're home?"
She had just entered the front door, and was standing in the foyer to take off her shoes, when she heard Li Xiqing's voice from the kitchen.
"Oh, it's me," she quickly answered back, while bending down to start untying her boots.
After she was done, Shao Yan quickly walked to the kitchen, and found Li Xiqing was holding a medium saucepan in his hand.
One hand was holding the handle, while the other hand was scooping the content to two bowls, "Wash your hands, we can eat now."
Shao Yan obediently walked to the kitchen sink and washed her hands, "Xiqing, just now, I saw someone who is as handsome as you."
Li Xiqing did not budge a little, and just continued to prepare the bowl, "Oh, and then? Did you ask for his number?"
Shao Yan giggled. She turned off the faucet and started to wipe her hands dry, "I wanted to ask, but then I remembered my lovely little wife at home. What to do? I can't abandon my wifey now, who will cook dinner for me?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Shao Yan nodded along with her words, "En, I guess you are right. I don't need to stress out too much."
They finally arrived in front of the meeting room.
