"I don't know who you're talking about." She turned her head to the side.
How did he know that it was her? How did he find her?
How did he find her? Well it was a process.

Advice on love?! Was it about the women he had him look for?
Assistant Jiang stood their in disbelief.
"Hello?"
Assistant Jiang took a seat on a nearby chair.
"What's the issue?"
Su LingTian looked at the paperwork on his desk and sighed .
"How do you approach someone after so long? Especially when you haven't left on good terms?"
"Well, I think that if you want to continue any relationship, communication is key."
"But what if she doesn't want to see me?"
"Who said she doesn't?"
Su LingTian sat there for a second. Assistant Jiang's answer rang in his ears.
What if she did want to see me?
Seeing his bosses reaction, Assistant Jiang sighed.
'Whew. I survived another day.'
The following days, Su LingTian drove himself to work taking the same route he did the previous day. However, he never once saw the girl walking.
Slowly he was growing restless. What if that wasn't her and he was wasting his time? A whole week had went by.
Recently, work at the office had become heavy so he had to stay at work late.
He was driving home late at night when he noticed a commotion on the sidewalk. He planned on passing by when he noticed a woman running down the street only to be grabbed.
Immediately he put his foot on the break. It was her!
He quickly parked the car and ran over. When he arrived the girl was about to be hit. The thought angered him and without thinking he ran and punched the man.
When it was just the two of them, he looked over at her.
Her head was down so he couldn't see her face. He stood there contemplating. How was he supposed to approach her?
"Are you ok?"
"Yes"
"Li Hua are you ok?" He asked while grabbed her face.
When she was finally looking at him he knew it was her. It may have been 7 years but he'd be able to recognize her. He'd recognize her anywhere.
"I don't know who you're talking about."
Hearing this, Su LingTian wanted to laugh. He didn't have time to play with her.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No." She stubbornly said.
He was about to say something else when he felt droplets of water on his cheek. He looked up and it started to rain.
"Shit."
He grabbed her hand and tried to take her somewhere for cover. However when he grabbed her hand he heard her whimper out in pain.
"What's wrong?!"
Li Hua refused to make eye contact with him.
"I think it's my ankle."
When she was trying to escape, one of the men grabbed and pulled her back forcefully. She was in heels and her foot twisted a little.
Su LingTian pulled out his phone and called a number.
"Come on, let me help you."
He took her arm around his shoulder and let her lean against him. They walked towards a nearby convenient store and took cover.
No one spoke until a car pulled up.
The driver got out and opened the door.
"Young Master Su."
Su LingTian took her hand and led her to the car.
"We're going to the hospital."
Hearing this she wanted to object. She was already low on money and couldn't afford to go to the hospital.
"No it's fine just take me ho-."
"No you don't know if it's serious or not. You're going to the hospital."
That was that. She got in the car and they drove to the nearest hospital.
She was checked into a room and a doctor came to examine her.
"Well it seems like you've tore a ligament in your ankle. You'll have to stay here for a few days to recover."
"No I can't! I have to go."
She couldn't afford to stay in the hospital for a long period of time. She had to go to work.
"Young lady it's best you just wait it out." The doctor walked out and left her alone in the room.
When she arrived in the hospital, Su LingTian didn't come in the room with her. He stayed out in the hall to talk with the doctor and after a few minutes left.
It was already late so she decided she'd be better off going to sleep. No use in fighting a one man battle.
~~~
The next morning she woke up and was blinded by the bright lights. She covered her eyes and racked her brain over what happened.
"Oh."
The events of last night cake back and she realized her situation. There was no one else in the room with her. She looked around the room and noticed a bag on the table next to her with a note.
"Eat well, I'll visit you later."
There was no name on the note but she knew exactly who it was from. Su LingTian.
She opened the bag and she saw all sorts of food. There was congee and other snacks.
She thought back to the night before, when he helped her to the store and into the car. How he frantically rushed her to the hospital. He was like that about her?
She breathed in. She could faintly smell his cologne. It was woody and deep. She liked it.
She quietly grabbed the food and ate it.
The question still remained. How did he find her? Was he looking for her? Most importantly how did he know it was her.
He'd say he'd be by later so she could ask then. No use in stressing over it now. She tried to move a little but even the slightest movement gave her pain.
She reached for her phone to tell her boss she'd have to take a few days off. Lucky for her he was a very nice man.
Once she finished on the phone she rested back down again.
"Wow did he smell good. Was it lavender?"
