Xu Cheng came to Lina’s hotel room first thing in the morning. It was a habit of Xu Cheng’s. Whenever there was something important, she would have trouble sleeping and could not wait for it to be finished.
It was the same as when she worked for Ling Tianya’s company. On that day, Xu Cheng arrived at the Ruan family’s house two and a half hours early and asked Ling Tianya to take her to Zhi Ya Entertainment.
She did the same thing today. Lina told her to come to her room around 9:30 AM.
In the end, Xu Cheng was still two and a half hours early and was at the door to Lina’s room at 7:00 AM.
Lina was still sleeping at this hour. She was rather upset when she was woken up by the buzzing of the doorbell. She stepped outside in her pajamas, thinking it was a member of the hotel staff. Lina opened the door in a bad mood and complained, “Didn’t you see the sign says ‘do not disturb’? Why did you ring the bell? Should I go over your head and make a complaint?”
Hearing Lina’s complaints and her annoyed tone, Xu Cheng looked to the sign on the door. The “do not disturb” sign was on it. Xu Cheng’s face hardened. She stood there stiffly and lost her calm.
Lina just realized that it was not a hotel staff member at her door, but Xu Cheng. She froze a bit, and her face somewhat softened. However, she was still annoyed about being woken up from her sleep.
“Why are you here?” Lina asked.
Xu Cheng paused for a few seconds and said, “It’s Monday. We are going for the DNA test, aren’t we?”
Lina nodded and said, “Come on in.”
Xu Cheng walked into the hotel room, sat on the couch, and kept her eyes locked on Lina.
Lina was wearing a luxury silk robe that flattered her breathtaking figure. Her curves and body were perfect even when compared to women who were younger than her. She had a light fragrance on her. When she walked around, the gentle fragrance sneaked into Xu Cheng’s nose. It was heart-stirring.
Xu Cheng thought, This is how a woman should be. Even just getting out of bed, she was still perfect and graceful, down to the smallest detail, without any flaw.
A woman like her must be the lady in many men’s dreams. There must be quite a crowd trying to win Lina’s heart over.
Lina was not happy about being woken up; however, she decided not to be mad at this inconsiderate girl, as she might very well be her daughter.
Lina took some sparkling water out of the minifridge and said, “Drink some water.”
“Thank you,” Xu Cheng said gently, trying to be as obedient as possible.
Lina took a look at the clock. It was just past seven. She was up late taking care of business in the European branch. She was woken up by Xu Cheng when she did not even sleep for that long.
“When did I say we should meet up?” Lina asked with a serious tone.
Xu Cheng froze a bit and answered, “Ten.”
“Then why did you come so early?”
“I…” If Xu Cheng were facing Ling Tianya or anyone else, she would counter without thinking twice.
However, it was Lina. Xu Cheng dared not to be her usual self. “I thought that if I came a bit earlier, we could get the test done earlier…”
“You thought?” Lina raised her voice immediately. “There are many things in this world which are not decided by what you think. If so, why did we need to agree on a time beforehand? So everything is just decided by what you think. Is that so?”
Lina had tried to be nice, as she knew Xu Cheng might be her daughter. If it was anyone else or her staff, they might be tearing up right now.
