Chapter 191 Meet Again

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

At the Babyblue Tea Shop, Raymond sat quietly at a secluded table. He ordered two cups of milk tea.

He was wearing a crisp white shirt and black suit pants. A mild yet friendly smile played on his lips,

making him look like your average neighborhood boy-warm, youthful and neat.

He gave you the feeling of looking at a clear stream in summer, one that you couldn't help but halt in

your tracks to look at.

He looked at his watch frequently as if he was waiting for somebody, but showing no sign of

impatience.

There was a college not far from here, which explained the huge number of girl students who came

here for a drink or two.

Raymond was over six feet tall, had a handsome face, a faint smile, graceful manners, and all these

made him an untainted big boy.

The milk tea shop's business wasn't bad, and now with Raymond sitting at the shop like a walking

advertisement, the shop was soon packed with customers.

The age around 20 is when desire for the opposite sex explodes. Raymond's simply sitting there

caused hormones to rage within the girls. And some of them, who were bold enough, couldn't control

their urge to hit on him.

A coquettish-looking girl with a luscious figure said something to her friend and her friend promptly

flushed to her roots.

She replied in a low voice, "Will that be all right?"

She was in sharp contrast to her friend. Her features were pure and innocent, her face relatively round

and plump, which made people feel comfortable and want to be close to her.

The coquettish girl casually brushed her hair and said in her husky voice, "Well, what's the big deal?

Just go over there and ask for his number!"

"But what if he already has a girlfriend?" said her friend hesitantly.

"Not a big deal either. What a shame not to go talk to him! You don't get to meet such an awesome

man every day. You just wait here and watch me."

Saying thus, she fixed her hair, pulled her clothes straight, stood up, and walked over to Raymond.

"Hi. Is this seat taken?" Angelina Li smiled gently and asked in a sweet voice, which made her

approach sound less abrupt.

Raymond raised his eyes from his phone and beheld the girl before him. She was in a tight red dress

that outlined her figure, and was smiling to him.

Unlike everybody else, no surprise flashed through his eyes at the sight of her beauty, and no

lascivious thoughts took over his heart.

His tone was mild and polite as always as he said, "Sorry. The seat is taken."

She froze at Raymond's direct refusal, but her expression lasted just for a second. She rearranged her

features immediately.

"Oh I'm sorry! I saw you sitting here alone for a long time. So I thought you were alone.

The shop is so crowded and there are no empty seats now," she said in a way of complaint as she

looked around.

Raymond turned to look at the entrance and saw a crowd waiting outside the shop. He frowned.

He was delighted that Ashley had agreed to meet him. So he had made an appointment with her to

meet at this place, where they had always met up when they'd been in college. This place was home to

many of their memories together.

But he had forgotten that this place would be insanely crowded at this hour. He started to worry,

wondering if Ashley could get in.

Angelina Li watched Raymond and saw him frown. She thought that he would finally let her sit there

after he saw how crowded the shop had become.

However, Raymond glanced briefly at her and said, "Right. Too many people and too hot outside. So if

you don't have anything else to do here, you'd better buy your drink and take it back."

How could he be so unromantic and not get the hint? She had already made it so clear to him.

Angelina Li looked at him again and bit her lip as she told him why she had actually approached him.

Raymond shook his head and said, "Sorry. I already have a girlfriend."

It was the first time a man had refused her after looking at her face thoroughly.

But she didn't know that Raymond wasn't any man. There was only Ashley in his heart. And even

without Ashley, he wouldn't make Angelina Li's wish come true.

He had seen a lot of pretty women, which was a side effect given his social status.

Seeing her still lingering around him, Raymond raised his eyebrows at her and asked, "What else do

you need?"

Angelina Li couldn't find any excuse to stay anymore. So she shook her head and left, her lip raw from

biting down on it so hard.

When she got back to her table, the other girl asked her, "How did it go? Did you get his number?"

The scene played out in her mind—him telling her that he already had a girlfriend and that the seat was

obviously saved for her.

Angelina Li was feeling sore at the refusal and said irritably, "No. He said he already had a girlfriend."

"Forget it then. It's okay. It's unnecessary to get mad for such a trivial thing," her friend said soothingly.

Angelina Li stared at Raymond's face from across the cafe, lost in her thoughts. But she regained her

composure and said, "Okay, let's get out of here."

Outside the shop, Ashley watched the crowd waiting to get into the shop and frowned. She knew that

the shop was in good business, but this was really too much.

She looked at the text Raymond had just sent her and tried to squeeze into the shop.

"Excuse me please. I need to get in there."

Ashley's voice rang out, clear and refreshing. And people gave way to her voluntarily, allowing her to

finally enter the shop.

Angelina Li, who was leaving, heard her and turned to the source of the voice.

Ashley wore a simple white dress that fell to her knees. Her smooth shining black hair was pulled back

into a bun at the nape of her neck.

Her skin was fair and firm and had very light makeup on it. A light layer of lipstick perfectly matched her

delicate features. She was cute.

She frowned as she looked around through cat-like eyes, unconscious of all the attention she was

attracting.

People had fallen into a daze as they stared at her. The shop was small enough that she caught sight

of the person she was looking for moments after she started looking around. And so she walked

towards the man in white who was sitting by the window.

Angelina Li stood there, her hands clasped together and mouth hanging open slightly. She had thought

that the man was lying to her when he said he had a girlfriend. To her surprise, he did have a girlfriend

and she wasn't bad-looking.

"Wow, is that his girlfriend? She is really pretty," her friend commented as she watched Ashley make

her way to Raymond.
