From Sidekick to Bigshot

Since she was young, her father raised Long Yuetian as a boy. When she became an adult, she inherited her father's company and became a strong independent woman who was focused on her career. As a result, she did not have any experience when it came to romantic relationships.

Naturally, she encountered a lot of men at work. However, they were either portly middle-aged men or pretty boys who were incapable of doing anything by themselves. Those males did not make her heart beat faster in the slightest way.

As she looked at Zhai Zhongshen, Long Yuetian couldn't help but tell herself off. Why was her heart being rapidly right now? Were those dramas right? Was your heart meant to beat faster when you're looking at someone you like?

But she was here to see Yiling! She wasn't meant to fall in love with this middle-aged man!

But why did she want to take off his shirt and belt?! Was she crazy?

Long Yuetian took a moment to gather her thoughts before she greeted Zhai Zhongshen politely: "Hello, are you here to see Yiling?"

Zhai Zhongshen nodded his head. Typically, he did not talk much.

He would only occasionally speak to his family members.

When he was speaking to his subordinates, his face would always be cold and terrifying.

At that moment, Jian Yiling walked out of her room. As she was dressed in loose and comfy clothing, Long Yuetian immediately thought she looked like a small and delicate doll.

But such a delicate girl was going to have a baby. Long Yuetian found it hard to imagine her precious darling looking after her very own baby.

"Uncle Zhai," Jian Yiling greeted when she saw the Second Master of the Zhai family.

"Mhmm," Zhai Zhongshen responded. Even though his response was a little colder than the average person's, one could tell from the soft look in his eyes that he cared a lot about her. He just wasn't sure how to express himself.

Everyone sat down to eat lunch together.

The Jian brothers who were staying at the Zhai Residence were also present at lunch.

Hence, the usually empty dining table was filled to the brim.

Master Zhai liked this a lot. In the past, whenever he had to eat by himself, he felt lonely and miserable.

This was what he wanted. He wanted his home to be lively and bustling.

As there was not much space, Long Yuetian ended up sitting next to Zhai Zhongshen.

She could smell the extremely faint cologne on Zhai Zhongshen.

Why was she thinking about him?

She just had a blind date with him!

Nothing more, nothing less!

Even though she has never been in a romantic relationship, she watched her fair share of romance dramas! Therefore, there was no need for her heartbeat to accelerate just because she was sitting closer to Zhai Zhongshen!

She had plans to play around with a bunch of pretty boys!

She wasn't ready to give all that up because of this handsome middle-aged man, was she?

Furthermore, this person was the Second Master of the Zhai family. He was known for his terrifying reputation in the corporate world. If she fell in love with him, she would probably die a miserable death.

Long Yuetian cautiously glanced at Zhai Zhongshen from the corner of her eye.

His gestures were elegant and calm and his actions emitted the charm of a mature man.

"Yuetian, are you alright?" Jian Yiling asked. She noticed Long Yuetian acting weirdly.

"Y-Yeah… I'm fine," Long Yuetian answered. She hurriedly found an excuse for herself: "I was just wondering if your baby is going to be a boy or girl."

The Jian brothers at the dining table immediately expressed their opinions.

Jian Yunnao: "It's best for Yiling to have a baby girl. She'll be as cute as Yiling."

Jian Yujie: "Yes, yes. Girls are awesome.

Jian Yichen: "Yeah. Jian Dan's no fun at all. He's noisy and boring."
