*Beep*

The person on the other line finally got through and begun to speak.

"Perchè ci metti tanto per rispondere?[1] Ti sono mancata, master Yuvin?"[2]

'c.r.a.p! The caller is a woman! Is she his woman?! And what language is this?' Small beads of sweat started forming on Kiang Leilei's forehead. The caller had caught her off guard that she was not able to utter a single word.

"Master Yuvin?" The caller asked. 

'Wait...She addressed Yuvin as master? Maybe this woman is just his subordinate? Or maybe Yuvin is into that Dom/Sub relations.h.i.+p? What to do?' Kiang Leilei still can't think straight thus she had not spoken any word yet. 

"Why don't you speak?" Chairman Xu asked in a loud voice, startling Kiang Leilei.

"The caller spoke in a foreign language. I did not understand anything." Kiang Leilei replied as her hand immediately covered the phone's mouthpiece. She then inhaled deeply, seemingly ready to converse with the caller. However, it seemed that the caller got bored that she abruptly ended the call. 

"Oh, the person hang up." Kiang Leilei figured when she heard a soft beeping. She then put w.a.n.g Yuvin's phone down the table.

"Someone called?" w.a.n.g Yuvin asked as he approached them inside the pavilion. 

Sensing another presence with them, Kiang Leilei and Chairman Xu turned their gaze toward his direction.

"Y-you're back..." Trembling, Kiang Leilei unconsciously stepped some steps away from w.a.n.g Yuvin and slightly hung her head in shame. 

Bothered that his sudden appearance scared his lovely guest, w.a.n.g Yuvin moved closer to Kiang Leilei. He then peeked in between her hair strands  in an attempt to establish an eye to eye contact.

"Hey... Something wrong?" w.a.n.g Yuvin asked.

Feeling w.a.n.g Yuvin's warm breath against her face, Kiang Leilei blushed.

"Ho-Ho! She probably thinks that you got angry at her for answering your phone call." Chairman Xu replied before he took another sip of tea from his cup.

"Is that so? Well, I don't mind it at all. Besides, I know that Lei answered the call out of concern. Am I right, Lei?" w.a.n.g Yuvin said as a bright smile worked across his face.

Though Kiang Leilei's cheeks were still blus.h.i.+ng red due to w.a.n.g Yuvin's kind remarks, she managed to raise her head up and established an eye to eye contact with the guy. 

"Y-yes... You're right about that." Kiang Leilei said softly.

"En. By the way, who was the caller and why did he call?" w.a.n.g Yuvin asked as he ushered Kiang Leilei in one of the Acapulco chairs in the pavilion.

"Ah! About that... Uhmm... Sorry, I was speechless the whole time because I did not understand the caller. She spoke in a foreign language." 

w.a.n.g Yuvin donned his thinking face and asked,

"Foreign language? She? What did the person say?" w.a.n.g Yuvin then picked his phone up to check the call log. His brows then slightly furrowed as his gaze fell on the unregistered number. 

"I think I heard her say rispondere? Hmmm and to, Sona moncata? Err... I really don't know." Kiang Leilei's face turned red as a tomato, feeling embarra.s.sed how she had misp.r.o.nounced most of the words.

"Ti sono mancato, Lei?[3]" w.a.n.g Yuvin asked, his gaze softened as it now fell on Kiang Leilei.

"Eh? What does it mean?" Kiang Leilei was dumbfounded.

"You know how to speak Italian?" Chairman Xu seemed amazed at what he discovered. "That was the Italian language, right?" The chairman added.

"Yes, Chairman Xu. My sister and I lived in the west for a very long time." 

'Wow! Mr. w.a.n.g so great! He can speak another language.' Kiang Leilei silently praised w.a.n.g Yuvin inside her head.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"En. So, your little niece can speak Italian too?" Chairman Xu asked.

"Of course Chairman. She is more fluent than me, actually."

"I really can't wait for Europa and my grandsons to meet each other! I can say that Europa will be a good influence to them." Chairman Xu's countenance lightened up.

"M-Mr w.a.n.g, is Italian language hard to learn?" Kiang Leilei asked, her eyes appeared to be interested to learn Italian. 

"If you put your mind and heart into everything you do, it will never be as difficult as it may seem." w.a.n.g Yuvin's reply was very encouraging.

"And I think, you are intelligent... Learning Italian wouldn't be much a problem to you." 

"I agree with Mr. w.a.n.g. But I also think that if Miss Kiang will learn from Mr. w.a.n.g, she will learn to speak Italian in no time! Ho-Ho!" Chairman Xu exclaimed as he pour tea on his cup.

"Anyway, is my good old friend on his way here?"

Chairman Xu added.

"Yes, Chairman. Chairman Kiang is already on his way here. I sent my driver and two of our skilled bodyguards to pick him up from his company." w.a.n.g Yuvin answered promptly.

"Oh, I forgot to send grandfather a message. Can you please send him a message? He needs to at least prepare himself before your subordinates arrive." Kiang Leile asked favor from w.a.n.g Yuvin.

"Yeah, sure. Let me just give him a quick call. Please excuse me." w.a.n.g Yuvin then moved some steps away from them. 

"Too perfect. Makes me wonder... Does Mr. w.a.n.g hide skeletons in his closet?[4]" Chairman Xu said as he steady his gaze at w.a.n.g Yuvin's back. 

"You are just overthinking, Chairman Xu." 

"Ho-Ho! I'm just kidding, Miss Kiang! In fact I have nothing but admiration for Mr. w.a.n.g and please don't forget that I willingly sold my shares to him. Hmp!"

Chairman Xu retorted.

"But, come to think of it... Indeed he is too good to be true." Kiang Leilei murmured as she focused her gaze on w.a.n.g Yuvin.
