The Devil’s love

Chapter 178 - Twenty-seven Years

Twenty-seven years without seeing his daughter closely or talking to her was Weilong's limit. He knew that she didn't see him or maybe would never see him under the father or family light but he still wanted to make sure that whether from afar or near, he protects and makes sure that she always stays safe.

Tightening his grip on the steering wheel, he sighed. With the temper and character that Ning had, he very well knew that she would never forgive anyone if she ever managed to find the truth but Weilong was ready to face his daughters wrath. He really didn't expect anything from Ning because he knew he had no right over her decisions but he just wished and didn't want Ning to push him away. ??

He also knew that it was very selfish of him to ask for that but he wanted it, he selfishly wanted it.

Picking up his file from the passenger seat, he took a deep breath before getting down from the car. He was nervous as well as excited to see his daughter closely and talk to her face to face after twenty seven years.

Ning's office

When Meili escorted Weilong inside, Ning was talking over the phone.

His legs froze and his body turned stiff when he saw her. She was as beautiful as her mother and looked more like her than him except for her eyes, she had his eyes.

When the image of the tiny little doll-like baby he had held in his hands as soon as she was born flashed in his mind, his eyes watered up and there was no way he could control them. His small little doll had grown up to become such a beautiful and outstanding woman.

"Boss, Mr Weilong is here," Meili smiled at him before walking out of the room.

Ning quickly hung up the call and made her towards him. She was about to greet him when he saw his red teary eyes. "Oh my God, are you fine?"

Taking out his handkerchief, he wiped his tears away and explained, "Yes I am fine, I think the air of this room is making my eyes itching."

"Oh, let me open the windows for you," Without waiting for his reply, she opened all the windows and invited him towards her desk.

"I hope I did not keep you waiting Ms Yang or should I call you Mrs Mo?"

"Mrs Yang should be fine but I don't mind Mrs Mo as well," she smiled but her expression changed when she realised something.

"So let's get—"

Cutting him off, she asked, "Hmm I am sorry for the interruption and this may seem a bit out of the topic we are at but have we met before?"

Weilong gulped in nervousness and asked, "We? Hmm I don't think so but why?"

"I-I don't know, I just feel like I have seen you somewhere but I cannot recall where," she frowned. Ning was very sure that she had seen him somewhere but she couldn't put her finger on it, she had no idea where and when they had met before.

Wondering why she felt that way, Weilong tried to shrug it off, "I would definitely remember if I had met you Mrs Yang, I think you have mistaken me for someone else."

Brushing her thoughts away, Ning sighed, "Maybe, anyway, what was it that you wanted to talk about?"

Taking out a few papers from his file, he said, "I wanted to talk to you about Valique."

"So is it true that you actually managed to buy Valique?" She inquired, she was still having a very hard time believing that someone managed to persuade that stubborn owner and get their hands on that piece of amazing land which could be considered as valuable as gold.

Without waiting for his reply she added, "Four years ago, I tried my best to get this land but couldn't. I even offered a very high amount but the owner just turned me down saying that the land wasn't for sale. Even my husband tried his best but the result was the same. So the fact that someone actually managed to get a hold of it really surprises me."

"You can say that it's a coincidence that the owner happened to be my father-in-law's old acquaintance so we could convince him easily and maybe you couldn't buy Valique because fate wanted us to work together on this project," he explained.

Ning smiled and nodded her head, "Maybe but I am glad that I got this lovely opportunity to work with you. Yi told me a lot about you and now I can't wait to work with you and your company."

"Well, my son handles all company matters these days but I am personally taking over this particular deal because I also want to work with one of the leading businesswomen. I mean, I have heard a lot about you too. Your achievements and the way you have handled Yang Corporation after your grandpa is amazing. I am sure that your parents must be very proud of you."

Weilong felt very proud and happy after seeing how capable his daughter had become. The way she conversed, her posture, attitude and the way she dealt with everything was so smooth and intermediating. He was very happy and satisfied with the way his father had raised her.

The mention of her parents faded the smile on her face. She cleared her throat and tried to change the topic. "I'll prepare a contract and send it over to your company. My team will need sometime to come up with a plan so I'll let you know when we are ready for the next meeting."

The change in her expression did not go unnoticed by Weilong. He slightly frowned and wondered what was wrong. Was she not on good terms with her called parents? Taking a mental note to find out about it, he nodded his head. "Alright, I'll wait for your response then."
