Chapter 913 - 917: Have You Been Well These Five Years?
"Mike, is this the guy who ’got our queen drunk’?"
Mike, seated at the assistant’s table, glanced up at everyone, "Don’t try to get any clues from me. I really don’t know anything about this man!"
Several people simultaneously gave him a disdainful look.
"I know!" A girl wearing glasses in the corner had already screamed, "Look, you guys!"
Everyone turned their faces together, only to see her holding a copy of Time Magazine in her hands. On the cover, a man in a white shirt had a devilish smile.
Several people immediately recognized that it was Jiao Yang, and crowded over. One of the girls began reading aloud.
"The Prince CEO returning to Asia View, Augus?! No wonder he looks so familiar, half Chinese and half British, Oh! my lady gaga, it’s really him. You know, his father is a genuine British aristocrat, and his grandfather was once a prince..."
Listening to her introduction, all the girls showed looks of envy and admiration.

Inside the napkin.
Luo Xiaoqian elegantly cut the steak on her plate. Sitting across the table, Jiao Yang held a knife and fork but hadn’t eaten much. His gaze was fixed on her face, observing intently.
"Why are you looking at me like that, don’t recognize me?" Luo Xiaoqian sipped some wine, "Have you been well these past five years?"
"Not bad." Jiao Yang shrugged, "I’ve been to many places, Lapland, the Antarctic, India, Nepal... Just about everywhere in the Seven Continents..." He put down his knife and fork, his deep eyes fixed on her face, "What about you?!"
"Me?!" Luo Xiaoqian shrugged like him, "Not bad."
"Just two words?!"
"What else?!"
Luo Xiaoqian knew that this kind of answer seemed distant.
That’s exactly the effect she wanted. Five years ago, she already owed him a lot of favors, and five years later she didn’t want to owe any more.
Jiao Yang had plenty of questions he wanted to ask her, like why she left, or what happened between her and Leng Zimo, and many others... Like when she returned to Beijing, and if she was still with Leng Zimo now, etc.
But he sensed the tone of refusal in her voice.
She didn’t want to talk.
So, he didn’t ask.
He lifted his glass, "Let’s clink glasses, after all, it’s a reunion after a final farewell!"
Luo Xiaoqian looked at his left hand; there were no rings on his middle and ring fingers. "After all these years, I thought you were already married with kids."
"You’re not any different!" Jiao Yang gestured towards her left hand with his chin; her left hand also had no rings.
"My son is already in middle school." Luo Xiaoqian smiled, then took a wallet from her purse, pulled out a photo of her and Luo Jun, and handed it to him, "Cute, right?"
Jiao Yang took the photo, his gaze lingering on the little boy in her arms for a moment, then handed the photo back to her, "Very cute."
"Thank you." Luo Xiaoqian extended her glass, "I heard you’ve returned to Asia View as CEO again, congratulations!"
Extending her glass to clink lightly with him, Luo Xiaoqian slowly drank the wine in her glass, then stood up, "I have work in the afternoon, I’m heading out. I guess we’ll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future, so I hope President Jiao will take good care of me."
"No problem!" Jiao Yang smiled, "Anything I can do to help you, whether it’s business or personal, don’t hesitate to ask."
Although he didn’t know what she had been through, now she seemed to be doing quite well, which reassured him.

Goodnight
