Chapter 18 - Bound to Meet Each Other

While Ruyi was stressing about that man's arrival, she heard knocks on her door, to see the children looking at her.

"Come in Jue'er, Yue'er" Ruyi waved at them. The children straight off ran towards her, she felt healed with their presence. But she saw that their guardian isn't with them.

"Where is grandma?" Ruyi asked the children.

Jue'er answered her. "Nana, is still at the phone with daddy!"

Ruyi was curious at the identity of the children's father, but sensing why they are here, she called Sebastian to get the car as they will be eating outside, so that she can get a breath of fresh air, erasing the disturbing news she just heard. Luckily, B City is large and her office is quite far from the airport.

She heard a knock once more and thought it was the children's grandmother so she went and get the kids and get ready to go eat out with her.

"Mrs. Kwon, would it be alright if we have lunch at Paradis d'Eden? I highly recommend their food!" Ruyi kindly said. She knew that the food there is the best since it is owned by one of her uncle's close friends, and she had been dining or having business meetings there.

"OH! That would be perfect, my son just arrived in China and said that we would out with the children and said the same place. May I invite him then? It's been quite a while since the children saw their father" Miya consulted.

"If it's okay with him for me to be barging in, then I would" As much as Ruyi couldn't help but feel quite queasy with her decision, her curiosity about the children's father was more overwhelming than her mind telling her not to.

Sebastian called Ruyi that the car is ready, so she and her guest went to go out. Of course not without the curious eyes of her employees when she saw that their CEO was having fun with her guests and was smiling.

"Goddess..." One of the male staff exclaimed.

"OMG! Our boss smiled... I feel so blessed" A female clerk whispered.

"B-boss... so beautiful.."

It couldn't be helped that Sebastian's mouth twitched from all the noise he heard from the employees. Their boss never smiled and always kept her resting bitch face, so seeing it suddenly makes not only male but also female fall. Sebastian remembers how both male and female were wooing her and was heartbroken when she became that man's GIRLFRIEND.

Arriving at the restaurant, Miya called his son to tell which room they were occupying. While waiting for him to arrive, Ruyi went ahead and ordered food not forgetting to consult the elder whether they had certain allergies or food that cannot be eaten due to health issues. Miya shook her head answering Ruyi, so Ruyi went ahead and asked what the children liked before finalizing her order.

Food arrived so they started eating, as the man hadn't arrived yet. Soon after, they hear a staff opening the door to welcome their guest.

*clang* Ruyi was shocked. No, terrified at the man who arrived. Sebastian's face couldn't be painted too. His face went from white to green and ended in black while glaring. The children were as happy as their grandmother seeing the man had finally arrived.

"Ms. Ruyi, meet my son, Yamato Renji" Miya was happy that her stepson had arrived in time just as they started their meal.

"..." Ruyi was still shocked so she didn't reply, rather she couldn't reply.

"Daddy!" The children went towards the man.

'Daddy?' Ruyi snapped from her thoughts and looked at the kids' father.

"Hello, Ruyi" Renji smirked seeing Ruyi and her reaction.
