Outside his gates

Zhi Shan took a puff of his cigarette, as his hands swiftly resumed their ten-two position on the car's steering wheel.

His phone on the passenger's seat rang, and when he glanced at the caller's name, his right eye twitched.

This woman was still behind him?? Just how many different ways did he have to ditch her?

She had effectively ruined his only night out these past few months.

"Damn it." Zhi Shan cursed under his breath and took another puff.

In all honesty, the problem was not with these women.

The main issue was his grandmother haphazardly arranging blind dates for him without vetting the woman properly beforehand.

Sigh. He opened the car window slightly and tossed the cigarette butt outside.

The frosty clean air of the night seeped in through the gap, assaulting his long nose devoid of blackheads, and he sucked in a few breaths of fresh air.

A high-class family background and an outstanding social status did not mean that a woman was worth his time, and something told Zhi Shan that these were the only two things his grandmother was consistently looking was.

He needed to have a talk with her soon. If things continued like this, it would only end up as a waste of both of their efforts.

With the invasion of the cold frosty air, the inside of the car quickly dropped in temperature and Zhi Shan closed the window back.

And just as he turned, his phone rang again. This time his lips curved upwards in an amused smile.

That's right. He had ditched his friend Chang Yong along with that woman and that bastard was probably calling him to whine.

He swiftly ignored this call as well.

As he was nearing closer to their villa, Zhi Shan speeded up his car.

He could only imagine the unruly tantrums the twins would probably be throwing right about now and his butler's pained expression.

Zhi Shan sighed again. Wasn't he a very normal person? How did his kids become this devilish??

As he neared his villa, his cold piercing eyes fell on a familiar silhouette leaning against the wall adjacent to the main gates.

Under the warm glow of the moonlight, her melancholic figure looked extremely enchanting.

Her shabby clothes and her haggard body failed miserably to hide her beautiful kind aura.

"She is here already?" Zhi Shan's eyes widened ever so slightly in surprise.

He didn't think much past that. It never made any logical sense to him that she would stubbornly refuse his help.

The gates promptly opened as his black Mercedes approached and the car whizzed past the woman.

Song Yue, who finally snapped out of her daze, stared at the disappearing car. He didn't recognize me? Her heart rate quickened.

A big man like him would probably meet a dozen new people a day. Why would he remember me? She smiled, too tired to react in any other way.

If fate really decided to corner you one day, then how could a mere mortal like her stand up to it?

The security guard's sharp voice broke her from her reverie, "Listen, Miss. The master must have seen you just now."

"And he still did not give me any instructions to let you in. So you should leave. You are not welcome to stay and wait here any longer."

The security guard reprimanded her. He knew exactly how charismatic his master was. Attracting a couple of stalkers now and then was not exactly a new occurrence.

But this young woman in front of him had come up with such a vivid and interesting excuse.

She even dared to say that their filthy rich master owed someone like her a debt and even offered her his help. He couldn't help but applaud her guts!

Just as he was chewing her out, Butler Yan walked up to the gates and silently stood beside him.

The tall gruff butler gave a stern look to both the parties involved in the commotion and the security guard immediately shut his mouth.

He then looked at the hesitating Song Yue and politely said, "Come in, Miss. Master is waiting for you inside."

Song Yue sighed in relief. She hastily bowed to thank him, but the Butler had already started walking back.

So she quickly followed behind him, entering the enormous villa. Song Yue looked around in amazement.

It was quite a bit of a walk from the main gate to the house. A beautiful garden covered the entire front portion, illuminated tastefully with night lights.

So many pretty flowers adorned the exquisite lawn area. Song Yue couldn't help but feel a little better in the midst of this beautiful landscape.

Ahem Ahem... The butler loudly cleared his throat to bring her attention back to him.

"The Master is waiting inside for you." He stepped aside and showed her the way.
