Emperor of Business
Cool

Bastian takes Xia away to a quiet coffee shop.

"Help the moccachino." Bastian said to the waiter.

"I am too."

After Xia finished ordering, he looked at Bastian and hesitantly said. "I'm really sorry for what happened earlier. I didn't expect Amari to go that far and I didn't expect Aleister to go there either."

"You don't have to apologize for other people's behavior, it's not your fault."

Bastian smiled and said. "I've felt your gratitude, I saved you from danger that night was also good for me. It's also an honor for me."

'Because good? What mean?'

Xia's cheeks suddenly blushed, his breathing was tight and without realizing it like a whimper.

Bastian didn't notice it at all.

The waiter brought his order, Bastian drank it and slightly frowned. "Hm? Not bad."

After all what he was drinking right now was coffee grounds from the most expensive and purest coffee beans. Then it is carefully prepared by baristas who are proficient in coffee making. Over time, the taste will naturally become amazing.

Gradually, the two people who were previously awkward, began to be able to chat quietly.

"Ah? So you're the owner of Moleque?" Xia could not help but exclaim.

The other people in the coffee shop looked at him in shock one by one. He quickly closed his mouth.

"Is that something extraordinary?" Bastian laughing.

"Of course, you look too young to be the owner of a big company." Xia would not say. "I can understand why Harley was so scared."

"Ah not really." Bastian shrugged his shoulders and said while joking. "It could be said that thankfully it was Harley. If it was someone else, because he didn't know me, he might just think of me as a young man who couldn't distinguish status and beat me up."

"Can be. Hahaha." after listening to Bastian's joke, Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud. "But it's no coincidence you have the top of the cosmetics business chain."

Bastian says. "If you want to work at Moleque, just say my name there and they'll definitely tell me."

"No need." Xia hastily said. "You saved me once, if now you help me again, I'm really like a shameless person."

'Why would Bastian want to help me? Don't let him be interested in me, too.' Thinking of this, Xia's heart beat faster.

It wasn't a quick heartbeat that was as irritating as his feelings for Aleister. He is happy now.

"That's all a trivial matter, not even worth mentioning." Bastian laughing.

He had no idea that Xia would think too far. The reason why he had chosen to help her was that other than that it was indeed a small matter to him.

That was because, Xia defended herself in front of Harley without knowing her identity, giving her a hint of appreciation.

In a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, time passed quickly.

Finally, when she was about to part ways, Xia once again thanked Bastian earnestly.

He looked at Bastian's handsome and resolute face with a gentle smile, his face slightly embarrassed and became a little hesitant, as if wanting to say something.

"What's wrong?" Bastian asked doubtfully.

"Anu--,,,"

After taking a deep breath, Xia finally gathered up the courage, her tiny lips slightly opened and then loudly said. "Bastian, I like you."

Bastian saves her from the cruel hands of thugs. As he leaned against Bastian's chest, he saw Bastian's calm and handsome face and felt very safe and reliable.

From then on, he had different feelings for Bastian.

And Bastian's domineering and stunning attitude in front of Harley and Aleister made him fall even more in love with her.

Now, Xia finally couldn't hold back her feelings and showed her heart to Bastian.

Happiness needs to be fought with a little effort.

Krik krik krik krik.

Bastian looked confused. He saved Xia without feeling, it was because of the mission of the system. That's all it is.

DING!

[Mission: Approving a woman's confession of love.]

[Mission completion gift: Wealth + 5 billion dollars.]

[Punishment of failed mission: Wealth - 5 billion dollars.]

'Hm?'

Bastian frowned with a wry smile. The mission of the system this time pissed him off.

Xia looked at Bastian nervously and waited for his answer.

After a while, Bastian sighed and said to Xia. "Sorry."

"Didn't you like me?"

Xia's body trembled, his eyes looking like a whirlpool spinning in a swirl.

"No, you're a very attractive, beautiful and kind girl, how could a man not like you?"

Bastian scratched his head and said solemnly. "But I already have a boyfriend, so I can't accept your expression of love."

DING!

[Random mission "Attack confession" failed.]

[Wealth minus 5 billion dollars.]

Bastian's face became ugly, the good thing he could cover it up, he felt his heart dripping with blood. He just lost 5 billion dollars outright.

His heart was already screaming in panic. 'There really is no other way! So mean! Shit!'

But the truth is on the surface he tried to calm down.

"So--,,," Xia cried and smiled, wiped her tears and continued. "I thought you hated me for what happened today. As long as you don't hate me, I'm already very happy. It shows that I still have a chance, doesn't it? But this is my first confession of love, and I'm still a little sad about being rejected."

Seeing Xia's sincere and steadfast face there was also a hidden affinity. The rain on her graceful face made people want to protect and love her.

Bastian approached and made Xia hold his breath.

Bastian slowly looked at Xia's eyes and his body grew closer.

'What's this? Does he want to kiss me?'

Xia was nervous, his pupils instantly shrank and the frequency of his heartbeat surged rapidly.

With her eyes closed, Xia waited, feeling that time was at a standstill.

'This is my first kiss. How'this?'

He was not at all calm waiting for the man in front of him.

Both Xia's cheeks faded a deep red. His pair of bright and clear eyes were tightly shut due to nervousness leaving only the long lashes trembling slightly.

But after waiting for some time, he did not feel anything.

When he opened his eyes, he only found Bastian's smirky face.

Bastian who was looking at her only patted Xia's head gently and randomized her hair until it was as messy as chicken feathers.

"I think you're prettier if you smile. See you soon."

Bastian waved his hand, got into the car, and stepped on the accelerator and left without waiting for Xia to react.

He just left.

Cool.

Xia stood on the spot, staring at Bastian who was leaving like a thief and could not help but laugh.

"Hehehe, I'm thinking too far."

He touched her cheek and muttered. "What an interesting guy, but I'm not just gonna give up. I'll try my best to chase after her, there's still a chance before she gets married."
