Chapter 7：No Problem

"Jie'er! Oy, Jie'er! You are not listening to me again!" Han Feng shouted to the phone. Based on his tone of voice, he is already at his ends wits. Since there is no one responding from the other line, Han Feng needed another option.

Jonah felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He put down the shopping bag that he is currently holding on both hands to answer his phone.

He is currently behind Han Jie waiting as she continues standing in the middle of the mall with a phone next to her ear. His face is already red from embarrassment due to the people that cannot help but glance at them for being in the way.

When he saw who is calling, Johan is surprised but still answered carefully. "Hello, sir?" His boss is calling him.

Why? Isn't he still talking to Han Jie?

"What happened to my daughter? Where is she? She is not responding!" Han Feng immediately exclaimed, feeling his headache due to the stress.

"She's in front of me, sir." Jonah replied respectfully, before patting Han Jie's shoulder and asked, "Miss? Is there a problem? Your father is looking for you."

Han Jie did not reply, but before he makes another move, the phone that she is holding fell on the ground, with a crash.

"Jonah." She called and turned around to look at him, somewhat stunned. "Slap me." Han Jie said completely ignoring her scattered phone pieces.

Eh? What are you talking about? Do you want me to lose my job?

Jonah laughed nervously as he stepped back to get away from her. "Miss, you're kidding."

"No. I'm serious. Slap me. Punch me or kick me. I need to make sure I'm not dreaming." She said seriously as she stepped towards him.

"Miss Jie! Your father is worried. Why not talk to him and ask him instead to hurt you?" He suggested. It is now official, Han Jie is a masochist. Isn't the full body waxing enough proof?

"Tsk. I can't. He will make sure that it will be very painful." Han Jie replied pouting before she pinched her arm. "Painful!" She declared before running to the restaurant near them.

"Miss, where are you going? Wait for me!" Jonah called out as he chased after her. He can only helplessly do so while updating his boss. "Sir, the miss went to a restaurant. She must be hungry and wants to eat so badly."

Han Feng just replied with a grunt before hanging up. He will just have to deal with his daughter later.

Jonah immediately found Han Jie on the far end of the restaurant close to the restroom and stairs. It is lunchtime and there is lot of people dining as well, but the place is not noisy at all. Mostly the are groups of men that are primarily working for the same company.

Jonah frowned unhappily as aside from the waitresses, his miss is the only female in that area. However, Han Jie does not seem to mind, and there is no one looking at her strangely, so it seems alright.

Still, Jonah feels that something in the situation is not right. He does not know what it is though.

Johan saw her motioning for him to come over and sit down. "Is it fine to sit here?" He asked, looking for any indication that the table is reserved, but found none.

"No problem."

"Ok. Miss, what do you want to eat?" Jonah asked immediately. His job is just so demanding sometimes. He can be a bodyguard, a servant, and a nanny as well. For him, Han Jie is like a grown-up kid that is just too restless even if she is older by two years.

Just like this time, Han Jie is supposed to be choosing what to eat, but she keeps on looking around, she seems to be on a edge.

"Miss, is there a problem?" He asked.

"I'm looking for someone." She answered truthfully, still looking around.

Jonah frowned and looked towards the stairs, "How about checking above?" He does not know who she is looking for, but with the way she is acting, there is a high chance that they will be wasting time inside the restaurant until she satisfied.

Han Jie bit her lip as her eyes darted at the stairs. "I will just wait here…" She said softly. Above the dining area are probably separate private rooms or meeting areas. How can she explain her visit above?

She cannot explain herself like, 'I am looking for my Master Shu. He is currently the most handsome man here in the mall, and I want to see him.'

Her Master Shu, the real one, just passed by, and she was not able to get a closer look. Han Jie is feeling so sad.

She does not need to be able to touch him, just looking up close, like one step away is enough. 'I promise,' Han Jie vowed to herself, 'but probably he already left or I am in the wrong restaurant.'

Since feeling so depressed, Han Jie called out the waiter and ordered a lot to the point that the waiter already asked if they are waiting for another two people.

So what? She is a stress eater and all her pent up frustrations and stress can only be relieved by delicious food.

"Wow! That is a lot of food! You are surely enjoying yourself!" Someone said that made Han Jie raised her head towards where the voice came from.

Han Jie's eyes bulged in delight as the man who caught their attention is handsome!The man may not be on the tall side, but he looks good. The uke or the receiver type on a gay relationship.

She smiled brightly before replying, "En! The food is delicious!"

The man laughed loudly, "Yes! Ten times better if it's free!" He added with a strange smirk on his face as he looks at them knowingly. The way he looks is giving them the impression that they are not welcomed.

Jonah and Han Jie stiffened suddenly, somewhat feeling alert. "I'm sorry? Are you being kind and decided to pay for what we all eat? Thank you so much if that is the case!" Han Jie stated positively. She was speaking out so loud and happyly that some of the men on business suit looked at their direction.

"Haha! So shameless! I would have never thought that I can still meet someone who is a blatant gold digger!" He responded as he looked down on her, venom laced on every word.

Han Jie suddenly stood up with a raised brow, "Can you explain that for me? I am feeling dumb today." She said sweetly.
