Sheng Xia glanced at the cloud passing across the plane's window. It was a smooth flight with rare turbulence.
"I am sorry," said Zhao Jing Feng while sitting beside Sheng Xia's seat. "There was an emergency meeting that I couldn't leave behind."
Sheng Xia shook her head. "Nope. I understand."
"Good to know."
"So, why are we going to Country J? It was so sudden."
Zhao Jing Feng knocked on the seat handle. "Currently, there is no horse racing event in Country C, so I brought you to Country J. As it happens, two days later, there will be the Country J Derby. Are you excited?" asked Zhao Jing Feng, while looking at the smile that had spread across Sheng Xia's face.
"Of course!" shouted Sheng Xia, feeling so happy. "Thank you, Leon!"
Zhao Jing Feng smiled teasingly. "Well, even champions have to help the underdogs sometimes."
Sheng Xia gape. "You-! You only defeated me twice! Only twice!"
Zhao Jing Feng laughed merrily. His eyes even disappeared from laughing.
Sheng Xia pouted, but inside she felt sweet.
Sheng Xia cursed. Why did she like it when being teased by this man?
Damn it.
This man even got more handsome when he laughed. Tsk.
After three hours of flight time, the private jet finally landed in Country J. Sheng Xia followed Zhao Jing Feng to the nearest luxury hotel. While on the road, she met again with Zhao Jing Feng's special assistant, Li Cheng Yu.
Li Cheng Yu gave Sheng Xia her room card, a presidential suite across from Zhao Jing Feng's.
"Thank you."
"Since Sir Daniel isn't with you right now, if you have any needs, you can contact me."
"Okay."
Li Cheng Yu left after he told Sheng Xia that he had contacted his female colleague to help her with her clothes and her other necessities since she had left in a hurry. Sheng Xia felt funny for having her clothes taken care of twice in a day.
For the whole day, Zhao Jing Feng excused himself for being busy with meetings. So Sheng Xia busied herself trying a new thing called a mobile game, where she played in a team of five members. One of Elaine's followers, Eero, recommended this game.
She played for two hours straight, trying to level up her rank. But after seeing her bronze rank, Sheng Xia cursed.
Su's Star : Eero! This game is a trap!
Su's Star : After three hours, I only got bronze III!
Su's Star : I want my money back!
ZeroEro : Princess, it just means that you are sucks!
Su's Star : Me?
Su's Star : No way!
ZeroEro : Anyway, what do you mean by giving your money back?
ZeroEro : Did you buy heroes and skins already?
ZeroEro : Newbie like you?
ZeroEro : What a waste!
Su's Star : Shut up!
Sheng Xia locked her phone in anger.
She exhaled and stood up from the sofa. In a huff, Sheng Xia went to the bathroom and started taking a bath. After feeling fresh, Sheng Xia chose an off-the-shoulder dress since it was summer right now and Country J was famous for its humidity.
Sheng Xia took her phone and looked for the nearest shopping mall. She wants to spend money!
Sheng Xia contacted Li Cheng Yu to prepare a driver for her. Once, she tried Country J's railway. In the end, she was lost and ended up in another province. She needed her assistant to pick her up. What an embarrassing experience!
She really had a bad relationship with any mechanical transportation.
After shopping for a while, Zhao Jing Feng finally invited her to have dinner. Sheng Xia arrived at the restaurant and met a scene where a sexy woman was flirting with Zhao Jing Feng.
"It must be fate to meet in another country as a fellow countryman," said the woman who wore a long dress that showed her cleavage and her back.
Sheng Xia was amazed at the woman's bravery to wear this kind of dress to a restaurant.
"You are here." Zhao Jing Feng greeted Sheng Xia with a smile.
The woman glanced at Sheng Xia and frowned. She recalculated her plan when she saw a beautiful woman with Zhao Jing Feng.
Sheng Xia took a seat across from Zhao Jing Feng and smiled at the woman who stood beside the table. "May I know who this beautiful woman is?"
The woman snorted. "How can you not know about me?"
"Should I know about you?" asked Sheng Xia, which almost made the woman go ballistic.
"I am Chen Yan Hong! A famous B-lister actress!" shouted Chen Yan Hong with an arrogant tone.
"Oh. Sorry, I don't follow entertainment in China."
Chen Yan Hong gritted her teeth in annoyance.
Who is this woman? How could she act so pridefully like that?
Chen Yan Hong put the best pitiful expression that she could muster.
"Young Master Zhao~ I-"
"Can you leave?" asked Zhao Jing Feng, cutting Chen Yan Hong's pitiful act.
Chen Yan Hong grunted. She left the table in a hurry. Her back looked embarrassed.
Sheng Xia just smiled. She has seen this kind of scene a lot when she was with one of her friends or Elaine's male followers. She was so used to it that she could watch their act with relish.
Zhao Jing Feng looked at Sheng Xia's face, full of excitement. He shook his head in amusement.
During dinner, Sheng Xia felt like she was flying. They spoke about a lot of topics. From business news to personal opinions. She felt that they were quite compatible. Ehem.
While Sheng Xia and Zhao Jing Feng had their dinner, Chen Yan Hong asked her agent to search for Sheng Xia's information. That night, her agent came to her room and looked unsettled.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Chen Yan Hong, while eating her salad.
"The woman you asked me for her information, do you really not know who she is?" asked the agent, looking very agitated. "You don't have bad blood with her, right?"
Chen Yan Hong started to feel that something was not right. "What? Who is she?"
The agent wiped the sweat on his forehead. "She is Stella Aldridge, one of the most renowned businesswomen in Country A. Her company had even gone global. She was very famous not only because of her capability in the business world but also because of her beauty and cute personality. She is so capable that many people fear her, although she was known to be amiable, not that ruthless when taking a move. She is famous, famous as in super famous!"
Chen Yan Hong started to break out in cold sweat. "You lied!"
"Why should I lie to you?" shouted the agent. "Don't tell me you did something bad to her?"
"I just," Chen Yan Hong bit her lips hard. "I don't know she is that capable! I thought she was just one of Zhao Jing Feng's mistresses! She is too beautiful to be a big shot on her own capabilities!"
The agent snorted. "Do you think beautiful women only use their beauty to achieve something and have no brains?"
"It's usually like that!"
"Oh! Like you?"
"Shut up!" Chen Yan Hong stared at the unfinished salad. "What should I do now?"
"You apologized to her! But if you can't meet her, just stop trying to pick a fight every day!"
Chen Yan Hong felt unfair.
This was the first time she met a woman who was not only beautiful but also a big shot.
The heaven was truly unfair!
