Chapter 369: Chapter 369 Domineering Female CEO vs. Civilian Xiao Bai Hua (20) Chapter 369: Chapter 369 Domineering Female CEO vs. Civilian Xiao Bai Hua (20) Xia Wanjun expressionlessly hung up the phone.

As expected, calling someone else was utterly useless.

He decided to do things his own way.

So, when Gu Shengyin just got off work and entered the parking lot, she was stopped by two men in black suits who looked like bodyguards. “Miss Long, our Fourth Master invites you to join him.”

Gu Shengyin snorted with a laugh, “If he wants to see me, let him come here himself.”

The two bodyguards looked at each other, seemingly never having encountered a woman who dared to speak to Fourth Master in such a manner. Had it been anyone else, they would have used force by now, but this Miss Long was specifically instructed by Fourth Master to be treated politely.

Gu Shengyin paid them no mind and walked toward her car. She sat down inside but did not start the engine.

She was waiting, testing the man’s attitude.

The answer came quickly as her window was gently tapped.

Rolling down the window, Gu Shengyin faced Xia Wanjun’s calm expression. “I hear you’ll only leave if I personally come to fetch you?”

Gu Shengyin, looking as if it were a matter of course, said, “If you are pursuing me, of course you need to show some sincerity.”

The two bodyguards beside them had expressions as if their faces were cracking. So Fourth Master had them come to ask Miss Long out on a date? This…

Xia Wanjun frowned slightly, then finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll bear that in mind.”

He opened the car door for Gu Shengyin and extended his hand in an inviting gesture. “Then, beautiful lady, would you care to join me for dinner?”

Only then did Gu Shengyin smile. “I’d be delighted.”

The driver was at the wheel while Gu Shengyin and Xia Wanjun sat in the back, chatting sporadically.

It was evident that Xia Wanjun rarely chatted like this with others. Combining that with the rumor that the Fourth Master of the Xia Family preferred quiet, Gu Shengyin was understanding.

Long Tianruo was also not a talkative type, and the two often had conversational gaps, making even the driver in front feel embarrassed for them.

Yet the two involved did not feel anything was amiss.

Gu Shengyin had reincarnated through many lifetimes with her lover and was deeply familiar with this man’s soul. Even just sitting quietly felt natural and was never awkward.

On the contrary, Xia Wanjun found this feeling quite novel.

Being a quiet lover by nature, especially after wielding great power within the Xia Family, where everyone dared not bother him, he had not felt this sensation of sharing a confined space with another person for a long time.

He had thought he would be uncomfortable, yet the result was surprisingly pleasant.

He felt the presence of the woman beside him, her silhouette, the faint cool scent of her perfume, even her breathing was close at hand, yet it did not give him any odd feelings. On the contrary, he even felt somewhat joyful.

Is this what liking someone feels like? Xia Wanjun thought, finding the feeling quite nice.

The first date for the two of them turned out to be quite positive for both parties.

Gu Shengyin, because the man opposite her was her lover, did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Xia Wanjun, on the other hand, felt he had performed well and saw nothing amiss. He was satisfied seeing Gu Shengyin so relaxed and at ease in front of him, indicating that she was also content. Fourth Master Xia concluded as much.

However, to outsiders, the dinner of the two looked like this:

Both of them had almost no expression throughout and quietly ate their meals, with only two instances of toasting otherwise complements the silence. They truly embodied the principle of eating without talking.

Is this really a date? The driver-cum-bodyguard sitting next to them looked utterly bewildered.
