Birth of a Beauty novel Chapter 97

Quan Long's brows shot up in astonishment. A lots of questions popped up in his mind.

' Lin Xueqing? Why would she call me so late at night? Park near my house? Why would she want to meet me so abruptly? And how the hell she got my number?'

Suppressing his urge to ask her everything all at once , Quan Long first calmed himself down.

He only asked a question " Why all of sudden? I mean don't you think it's pretty late-"

He was cut off by her cold yet soft voice " Reply me with a 'Yes' or 'No'."

' What? Is she ordering me?'He frowned. After a while, He eventually spoke" *sigh* Yes-"

As soon as, She heard 'Yes' from him, She ended the call.

"..." Quan Long.

---

" Why would she call me, here? Though she can get information about anyone easily, It still doesn't feel right to just get someone's number and call them when you barely know eachother. Added to the fact it's so late, and I am a boy. "

Quan Long was muttering to himself on the way to the park. Since the park was quite large, He had to look around for few minutes before noticing a girl in a swing.

Since he was facing her back, She didn't see him. The girl had blonde short hair, so It didn't take long to realize it was really Lin Xueqing.

' She really is here. But Seeing her like this, why I feel like her figure looks so forlorn..like a lost child.' Quan Long thought.

" Are you going to keep standing and stare at me from there? Is there something written in my back?" Lin Xueqing asked as she stood up from the swing.

Quan Long was taken aback. He hastily replied "No, I was just-" Just then, Lin Xueqing turned around to face him.

"You were just?!" She raised her brows.

"I was-" Quan Long was about to respond nevertheless froze as his eyes widen in astonishment. "Yo-You..Is that cigarette in your hand? Are you smoking?"

" Yeah. Got any problem?" Lin Xueqing look at the cigarette in her hand before glancing at the boy in front of her.

She raised her hand to take a puff but Quan Long was even qui than her. He slapped it off her hand.

" Do you have a death wish?" Lin Xueqing angrily shouted at Quan Long who was stomping on the cigarette.

" Smoking is really injurious to health . It harms your lungs. Better stop it while you are at it than regretting later." Quan Long suggested looking straight at her.

He added " If you called me here just because you were bored, then I am leaving."

Lin Xueqing pursed her lips as her delicate brows knitted.

For the first time, she was speechless, She couldn't refute his words since she herself didn't know why she called him to meet so late at night when she was supposed to have long night drive by herself.

Seeing her just silently standing there with no intention of speaking, Quan Long turned around to leave. " I am leaving. Don't call me again at a time like this."

Just as he took a few steps..

*Growl*

Quan Long froze . His mouth twitched as His cheeks started to flush red. ' Sh*t. Why my stomach is growling so loud in front of a girl? But why I feel like it was not coming from mine?'

*Growl*

Quan Long confirmed it wasn't his stomach. ' The-Then..Is it-' He turned around to see Lin Xueqing.

Contrary to his expectations, Lin Xueqing wasn't flustered at all instead she was frustrated.
