Empress Of The Lost Kingdom Chapter 14
Advertisement
Around midnight Tang family's private jet landed in Xi city's airport.
The sky was clear and filled with countless stars. The weather was much colder than that of Jing city.
Tang Wei Sheng looked at Li Juan. She was looking at the sky like a child with her hands across her chest.
"The sky is much clearer than the Jing city. isn't itit?" Tang Wei Sheng asked her. The Jing city was the most developed in the C country with sky scrappers and an enormous amount of light pollution. So it was rare for people to have a clear sky view during the night.
Li Juan agreed with a smile.
Suddenly a lush black May Bach appeared in front of them. A man in a black suit got down from the car and greeted Tang Wei Sheng.
"Good evening CEO Tang. How was your flight?"
"It was good, Manager Zhang."
Zhang Zi Zhong was Tang Corporation's Xi city branch's general manager. Tang Wei Sheng has met him a few times during board meetings.
"I didn't expect that you will come to receive me." Tang Wei Sheng was surprised to see him. It was midnight and Zhang Zi Zhong drove himself to receive him.
"It is my duty," Zhang Zi Zhong smiled and opened the car's door and held for Tang Wei Sheng.
"Why are you doing this Manager Zhang, after all, you are elder than me?" Tang Wei Sheng complained and allowed Li Juan to enter into the car.
"This is the first time you are visiting Xi city and I am glad to serve you, CEO Tang." Zhang Zi Zhong said cheerfully.
"haha, then I will trouble you then," Tang Wei Sheng entered into the car.
One hour later, the car reached a hillside manor.
A well-built grand mansion in contemporary Tudor style was all lit in light. It looked like a ship sails on the vast sea. It was the only building in that area.
Li Juan was amazed to see a place like this in the city.
"Chairman got this building only a year ago." Yang Xiong told him.
"A year ago," Tang Wei Sheng was amazed.
"Yes sir. He told me that, it is something like a birthday present for you and when the right time comes you may stay here for a while." Zhang Zi Zhong told him.
"I thought my birthday surprises are over," Tang Wei Sheng smiled. I think I got it wrong.
Li Juan was stunned. Receiving a grand mansion as a birthday present was beyond belief. The only expensive gift Li Juan ever got was a chain with a diamond pendant from her mother when she joined the university.
"Please come this way." Zhang Zi Zhong led them to the main door. Before they pressed the doorbell, a maid appeared.
"Good evening master." A woman in her late fifties greeted him.
"Boss, this is Mrs Zhao. Chairman told me that you don't like too many servants at home. So she is the only maid we got here." Manager Zhang notified him.
They set foot into the mansion. The interior of the mansion was decorated in minimalistic style- just like the way Tang Wei Sheng likes it.
Tang Wei Sheng carefully examined the interiors.
"Is everything alright boss?" Manager Zhang asked him.
"Yes," everything in the villa was of Tang Wei Sheng's interests.
"Then, I will take leave."
"Rest well, Boss," Zhang Zi Zhong greeted them and left.

Three of them stood there in the living room.
"Do you need anything master?" Mrs Zhao asked them.
"No. do you need anything, Miss Li?" He looked at Li Juan's sleepy face.
"No," Li Juan looked at Tang Wei Sheng with tired eyes.
"You must be tired. I don't think we get enough sleep but still rest well till the morning." Tang Wei Sheng told her.
"Mrs Zhao, can you show Miss Li, her room." Yang Xiong asked.
"Yes, sir. Miss, please come this way."
"Rest well CEO Tang;" Li Juan greeted him. "You too, assistant Yang."
"Good night."
"Good night Miss Li,"
Li Juan parted her ways with them and went with Mrs Zhao.
In the morning it was Yang Xiong who waked Tang Wei Sheng. On normal days, Yang Xiong only needs to report to his boss around 9 in the morning, for escorting him to Tang Corporations.
Even during business trips, his boss wakes up early and does his morning chores. But today, it felt a little bit awkward.
"Good morning boss," Yang Xiong, greeted him.
"Good morning assistant yang." Tang Wei Sheng greeted him and took the coffee from his hands.
"Did you sleep well?" Tang Wei Sheng's face appeared relaxed and calm.
"Yes. What about you, boss?"
"It was okay." Though Tang Wei Sheng said it casually, Yang Xiong could detect happiness behind the words.
Okay, his boss is in a good mood, Nah, he used to be in a good mood, from the flight itself.
What exactly happened to his boss?
"So when is your return flight?"
"At 2 pm." Yang Xiong was not staying with them in Xi city. He was flying back to Jing city to assist President Tang Yi who will be in-charge on the behalf of CEO of Tang corporations.
"Will you be alright without me?" Yang Xiong asked with concern.
"I should ask you that. Will you be alright without me? President Tang is much scarier than me." Tang Wei Sheng said playfully.
" I will try to manage, boss."
Everyone in the Tang Corporation was well aware of President Tang Yi's character. He was strict and cold towards his employees. Other than his assistant none of the employees had direct contact with him. After Tang Wei Sheng entered to the firm Tang Yi only appeared during high-end meetings. It was only a year and each and everyone in Tang corporation was grown fond of the young master Tang than that of Tang Yi.
Unlike his cold and arrogant dad, Tang Wei Sheng was much more cheerful and radiant person.
"Did Mrs Zhao make this coffee?" Tang Wei Sheng asked.
"No young master, Miss Li made the coffee. I told her not to bother, but she was adamant. She made coffee. Watered the plants and fed the birds."
"Does she mistake it as her home?" Tang Wei Sheng asked with a smile.
"You should probably ask Miss Li. She is waiting for you. Boss, you should get ready soon and have your breakfast. I will go and get your car." Yang Xiong recommended.
"Yeah. I will." Tang Wei Sheng drank the coffee and went to the washroom.
When Tang Wei Sheng came ready for breakfast after bathing, Li Juan was looking through various handwritten notes.
It was true, she did bring some sweaters.
Li Juan was wearing an olive green sweater and black jeans with her curly hair loosed down. With the black-rimmed reading glass, Li Juan appeared immersed in examining the notes.

"Good morning Miss Li." Tang Wei Sheng greeted her.
"Good morning;" she replied without even looking at him. She seemed busy with the notes and laptop.
"You seem very busy sweetheart." Tang Wei Sheng sat down near to her and looked at the pile of handwritten notes.
Li Juan startled to see him sit beside her.
"Senior Tang!!!"
Okay, Heart please don't play any rock songs.
Li Juan tried to calm herself by grabbing the hand-written notes and kept into stacks. Unfortunately, it slipped from her hands and spilt in the floor. She leaned down to pick them which made the books on her lap to fall. It is total Chaos.
Okay, someone is clumsy before her crush!
Tang Wei Sheng helped her to pick up the notes.
"It's okay Senior Tang, I will do it." Li Juan stopped him and picked it.
"Hey, it is alright," he picked the sheets of paper and gave them back to her.
Why does she have these many sheets of paper? I thought digitalization was encouraged among the citizens. Tang Wei Sheng doubted.
"Your hand-writing is good." Tang Wei Sheng told her.
"Huh, thanks," Li Juan said it vaguely and moved away from him.
Tang Wei Sheng noticed it and moved closer to her.
"I always wanted to ask you. Are you scared of me?" Tang Wei Sheng asked her out of blue.
Li Juan looked at him with confusion.
"You always get uncomfortable whenever I am with you,"
"No, No Senior Tang." Li Juan replied.
"No, you are lying. I have always observed it. Whenever we are having a conversation, your face turns red and you start stuttering.
What is it? Do you fear me?"
"No, It is just…it's nothing but…" Li Juan hesitated for a moment.
How will she say that it is only because her hormones act differently whenever she sees him?
"Nothing but?" Tang Wei Sheng become curious and moved closer to her side.
Li Juan's heart started beating fast and her cheeks got blushed.
"See this is what I am talking about?" He told her. Tang Wei Sheng looked at her reddened cheeks.
"You don't have to be afraid around me. I am just your friend. Or, based on what happened between us, should I say ...your boyfriend?" He smiled and pinched her cheeks.
Li Juan was left spellbound.
Did he say, boyfriend?
She never imagined that there is going to be a day when Tang Wei Sheng will consider him as her boyfriend.
Don't be scared any more sweetheart. Tang Wei Sheng patted her curly hair. "Come let's have breakfast."
Tang Wei Sheng held her palm and pulled her up.
They sat down face to face in front of the breakfast table.
It was a healthy yet delicious breakfast.
"Where is Assistant yang?" Li Juan looked for Yang Xiong while arranging the plates.
"Oh, he went for shopping." Tang Wei Sheng said casually.
"Shopping, at this time? It was only 10 am."
"Yeah, he went to buy a car for us." Tang Wei Sheng said while munching.
"By the way which is your favourite car sweetheart?" He asked her.
Li Juan thought for a while. "Senior Tang, I use public transportations every time. So I don't have any favourites."
It was the first time in his life he was hearing such an answer. He knows that Li Juan couldn't afford a car, but still she may have a dream car. TangWei Sheng smiled at her.
"Do you want one?"
Li Juan looked at him in confusion. Is he offering a car?
"Do you have a dream car or something?" Tang Wei Sheng does not want Li Juan to travel with Lee Tae Min anymore.
"No," it was a straight answer from Li Juan.
"Why? You don't like cars?" Tang Wei Sheng was curious.
"It is because of global warming."
Huh? Tang Wei Sheng was awestruck for a moment.
"I don't find a need to buy a car, it's just me and I don't find it appropriate to buy a car for the sake of a single person." Li Juan explained.
"That's why I prefer public transportation."
"But I saw you always travelling with Lee Tae Min."
"Only when I wanted to reach early and we happened to live in the same area."
"Where do you live?"
"In the downtown,"
"Isn't it far from your university?"
"There is a shuttle bus service," Li Juan said with doubt.
Don't he know that commoners use bus service unlike him?
"What if there is urgency and you couldn't find a bus or subway?" Tang Wei Sheng asked her hypothetically.
"I can book a taxi." Li Juan replied.
"What if you are sick and you are unable to find any public transportation facilities? What will you do then?" Tang Wei Sheng asked again.
Li Juan looked at Tang Wei Sheng's face with a blank expression. What is wrong with him? Why is he interrogating me like a criminal?
"You should call me right away then, you dummy." Tang Wei Sheng pinched her cheeks.
Li Juan was awestruck. Is she dumb or what? Tang Wei Sheng was clearly hinting her that she should consider him as a boyfriend.
How bad! Should I try to change the topic? Li Juan calculated in her mind.
"But you like sports cars." Li Juan asked him." Don't you?"
"Yes. I like sports cars." Tang Wei Sheng excitedly replied.
"When I was abroad I used to participate in racing championships."
"Seriously!" Li Juan was surprised. " I didn't know it."
"Only my grandpa knew about my racing craze. When he was at my age, he was also into racing, so we kept it as a secret.
You know according to others, it is a dangerous game." Tang Wei Sheng looked at her with a proud feeling. "And now, you knew my secret. So do you have any secrets to share with me, sweetheart?"
The only secret Li Juan had been her feelings towards Tang Wei Sheng. And this isn't the right time to say it. When the right time comes she will tell him.
Since he is also showing interest in her, Maybe the right time won't be so long. Li Juan smiled unknowingly.
"What is it?" Tang Wei Sheng asked her. "Why are you smiling?"
"Nothing."
"You got something on your mind. Ha ... Tell me, sweetheart." Tang Wei Sheng was persuading her.
"It's nothing Senior Tang."
"Tell me, sweetheart," Tang Wei Sheng held Li Juan's wrist and pulled her towards him.
Both of them stared into each other's face until it turned red.
Suddenly the door got opened and Yang Xiong came inside.
ooppsss, someone just caught red-handed or should I say red-faced? Like a tomato?
