Ye Xiaoqi appeared in the underground parking space in the afternoon at 1710 hrs . She pressed a button on a remote an a champagne-coloured BMW 510li chirped, lights flashing . She walked over with her long legs flashing, getting ready to drive home .
‘No promotion and a reward of just 50,000! Go die, Ye Kun!’ Ye Xiaoqi was still cursing him .
Ye Xiaoqi couldn’t move when she got to her car because a red Ferrari FF four-seater supercar was parked next to hers .
BMW was a world-known car brand too but her 520li was like a scooter compared to this Ferrari FF . Her entire car value would just be equal to the cost of one Ferrari tyre .
‘It’ll be great if I had one too . ’ Ye Xiaoqi couldn’t help fantasising about driving a car like this Ferrari FF .
The window of the Ferrari FF suddenly wound down and a handsome face looked out . He was smiling at Ye Xiaoqi .
“Mr Katou Takasuke, you…” Ye Xiaoqi held a hand over her mouth, so excited she could not speak .
Xia Lei smiled and said, “We meet again, Miss Ye . ”
Ye Xiaoqi recovered and gave Xia Lei a dazzling smile . “Mr Katou Takasuke, why didn’t you give me a call? Didn’t we agree on that? I waited the whole afternoon for your call . ”
Xia Lei’s voice filled with charm . “Rather than a call, I think waiting down here for you to get off from work is more sincere . I paid the security staff here a small fee and he brought me to this place . I waited for you here . ”
“No, no,” said Ye Xiaoqi coquettishly . “I waited a whole afternoon for you but you didn’t call . I want you to accompany me . ”
“No problem . Get in the car . I’ll take you out for a meal, then we’ll talk about compensation, yes?” Xia Lei reached out and opened the door of the Ferrari for Ye Xiaoqi .
Ye Xiaoqi looked at her BMW 520li, and at Xia Lei’s Ferrari FF . She hesitated for just one second before she got into Xia Lei’s car .
The Ferrari FF roared and Xia Lei drove out of the parking space . They entered the stream of traffic and the Hanwu Weapons building was soon left behind in the distance, disappearing from sight . Ye Xiaoqi’s thoughts were far away from Hanwu Weapons too . Her head was full of dreams . Who cared about promotion and rewards? Hooking a big fish like this Katou Takasuke was more important!
Half an hour later, the Ferrari FF came to Jingdu’s Hilton Hotel . Xia Lei handed the keys to the concierge, then lef Ye Xiaoqi into the hotel, to the restaurant .
Xia Lei ordered French foie gras and French truffles, paired with French steaks and French red wine . It made one feel like he was in France having a French meal .
Ye Xiaoqi looked at the dishes the waiter brought and was shocked . This meal cost at least tens of thousands . She was not some country bumpkin and also earned quite a bit at dozens of thousands per year, but she wouldn’t ever dare to come dine at a restaurant like this .
Xia Lei didn’t even look at the food and wine on the table . He dipped his chin and looked silently at Ye Xiaoqi . His eyes were gentle, full of emotion, and laced with a bit of sadness .
Nothing could surpass that gaze .
“Mr Katou Takasuke, you… Why are you looking at me like this?” Ye Xiaoqi was delighted but she put on a mask of shyness .
Xia Lei then “came to his senses” and hurriedly straightened up . He bowed his head in apology . “I’m sorry I’ve made you uncomfortable, Miss Ye . ”
Ye Xiaoqi pursed her lips in a smile . “Are all you Japanese people so polite, Mr Katou?”
“Not all . There are crude people too,” said Xia Lei .
“You’re an exception, aren’t you?”
Xia Lei laughed . “My mother influenced me a lot . She taught me morals since I was a child . She taught be to be polite, to be humble, and to be gentle to women . ”
“Your mother is wonderful . ”
“She would be very happy if she could meet you,” said Xia Lei .
“Meet your mother?” Ye Xiaoqi looked hesitant . “This is… We…”
Xia Lei spoke gently, “You two just look so much alike . If my mother saw you, she would definitely think you’re Kyouka Minako . ”
“I don’t want to be a substitute . ” Ye Xiaoqi’s voice was small .
“No, you are not Minako’s substitute,” said Xia Lei . “I’ve been quite unhappy these past two years and I’ve finally managed to walk out of the cloud of sadness of Minako’s death . Did you know that I felt a warmth spread in me when I saw you in that cafe doorway today? You look a lot like Minako but you are not her . I will also not see you as her . You are you, Miss Ye . Please believe me, I…”
Ye Xiaoqi’s heart filled with nervousness, excitement and bliss . She spoke expectantly, “What are you trying to say?”
“I…” Xia Lei hesitated, then gathered his courage and said, “I like you . I liked you from the moment I saw you . Miss Ye, please be my girlfriend . ”
“Huh?” Ye Xiaoqi didn’t know what to do .
“I know this is very sudden but I cannot resist your charms and my impulses towards you . ” Xia Lei gave Ye Xiaoqi a look . “Please say yes, Miss Ye . I will be good to you . I’ll make you the happiest woman on Earth . ”
“Mr Katou, I… We… This is too quick, isn’t it?” She said the words but her heart was screaming yes .
“Miss Ye, love is universal and without limits of time . Please believe me . Our meeting was fate’s arrangement . You are the woman I am fated to marry, and I am the man destined for you . ” Xia Lei spoke fairly convincingly .
“I… We…” Ye Xiaoqi kept pretending, pretending to be reserved .
Xia Lei sighed . “This is indeed too quick . I’ll give you some time to consider it . I’ll let you see my sincerity during this period of time . Nn, let’s drink . ”
Ye Xiaoqi pinched herself and scolded herself silently . ‘Why did I act the chaste girl? I won’t get this sort of chance for a second time in my life!’
Xia Lei poured two glasses of red wine . He handed one to Ye Xiaoqi, then clinked glasses with her . “For our futures . ”
Ye Xiaoqi downed everything in her glass in one gulp .
“What sort of business are you doing in China, Mr Katou?” Ye Xiaoqi started investigating his background .
“I’m in international trade . Hm . I’m here in China this time to purchase weapons for my Middle East clients . Ah, I don’t know which company to choose over here in China . I know China’s Hanwu Weapons is an old name in the game, but Thunder Horse Military Factory is making waves too . The company’s doing well, especially their XL2500 sniper rifle . It’s said to be the best sniper rifle in the world . ”
“You’re an arms dealer?” Ye Xiaoqi looked very surprised .
Xia Lei smiled . “It’s not just weapons . South African diamonds, oil from Iraq – I do whatever makes me money . I’m just so busy . I am always flying from one place to another . It would be nice if you could help me . I’ll be able to relax a little then . ”
Ye Xiaoqi thought for a bit . “I’m not so familiar with the other industries but arms dealing is my specialty . You may not know it but I am the secretary of Ye Kun, the chairman of Hanwu Weapons . ”
“Eh? You’re Ye Kun’s secretary?” Xia Lei looked surprised, then he smiled . “You actually can help me then . How about you choose for me between Hanwu Weapons and Thunder Horse Military Factory? My Middle East clients have no lack of money . They want the best . ”
“I can’t give you recommendations right on the spot for something like this . How about you give me a day? I’ll think properly about it and give you an answer,” said Ye Xiaoqi .
“No problem . Let’s toast again . ” Xia Lei smiled as he poured more for her, smiled as he clinked glasses .
Ye Xiaoqi was quickly drunk, not because she had low alcohol tolerance but because Xia Lei had added special ingredients to her wine .
Xia Lei brought her to a royal suite in the Hilton Hotel and put her on the bed . This suite was shockingly huge at about 200 square metres . It was done up in a classical style and oozed nobility and luxury .
“I’m not drunk . I can still drink…” Ye Xiaoqi gurgled .
Xia Lei retrieved the listening device from her collar and put it in his pocket . He then opened her clutch and rifled through her things . His focus was on her phone . He opened up the phone to take its memory card out and copied the information on it to his own phone .
“Ye Kun, you bastard… Go to hell! I got you the drawings and y, you didn’t promote me or increase my salary! I hate you!” Ye Xiaoqi was still talking drunkenly .
Xia Lei unbuttoned her clothing, took her skirt off and removed her underwear . This was not because he was attracted to her but because he was carrying out his plan .
“Go away… Don’t touch me . I want to marry you, my Mr Katou…” Ye Xiaoqi mumbled .
A snowy landscape met Xia Lei’s eyes . Majestic peaks, a flat stomach, white thighs, and… One could not deny that this gold-digger had something to exchange for gold . She was young, pretty, mature and sexy . She was the image of what most men wanted, and most men would be very willing to sleep with her too, no matter what the motive she had for it .
However, Xia Lei did something which most men would not do .
Xia Lei took out a toy from his briefcase and talked solemnly to himself . ‘Tianyin, I am not straying . This is for Thunder Horse Military Factory . ’
The toy started to buzz . Xia Lei sat next to the bed and frowned at the writhing Ye Xiaoqi, and the toy . When the toy got loose, he reached out a hand to steady it, then continued maintaining the situation and making sure that the toy worked normally .
“Katou, my Katou… You’re my everything…” Ye Xiaoqi cried out deliriously .
Xia Lei sighed . ‘I’m not straying, Ruyi . I’m doing this because… Wait . Why do I have to apologise to Ruyi? She won’t mind me doing this . She slept with me behind Tianyin’s back, so she wouldn’t mind if I slept with anyone else other than her and Tianyin, right?’
These meaningless, empty thoughts were just to occupy his attention . Neither Shentu Tianyin nor Jiang Ruyi could hear him . If they could, he would never have a peaceful day in his life ever again .
