Chapter 35 chance encounter
During the whole dance, Su Yan’s cheeks were flushed, and she was a little dizzy, as if she was drunk.
She also didn’t dare to look at Bai Xingfan, for fear that she would lose control if she looked at it too much, and then slammed her head into the south wall, so she kept her head down and her eyes lowered, like a wooden man, letting him dance with her.
The accompaniment is a melodious and soothing waltz, and every note irons the heart like a trickle, but Su Yan’s heartbeat is not affected by this dance at all, and it agitates like thunder from beginning to end.
At the end of the dance, all the guests sent applause without hesitation.
Su Yan hurriedly took a step back and got off his feet: “Is it over?”
“Yeah.” Bai Xingfan had to let go of her waist, but he didn’t forget the most important thing: “Have you thought about it, Miss Su?”
Su Yan fell into silence after he said the words “early married” just now.
Intellectually, she wanted to separate from him, and she had to do it, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable, but emotionally, she couldn’t do it, and she couldn’t bear him.
Reason and emotion have been tearing back and forth. Reason tells her that this man is dangerous and must not be held high, but emotion is constantly bewitching her, seducing her, and impelling her to want to approach this man involuntarily, so she can’t. make a choice.
Up to now, she doesn’t know what to do, so she can only choose silence again.
Bai Xingfan also expected this to be the case, so instead of persecuting her, he said, “I will patiently wait for Miss Su’s reply.”
Su Yan’s breath choked, and after a while, she finally said, “I need time.”
She wanted to get close to him, but she didn’t dare to get close to him, so how to make a choice was a very difficult matter, she needed time to weigh and consider it, and she needed time to determine her own mind—
If you love someone enough, you will never lack the courage to be with him, but that’s not the case with her, she doesn’t have enough courage, so she doesn’t know if she doesn’t like him enough so she doesn’t dare to be with him, or Because the scars left by her previous relationship were too deep, she was afraid to accept a new relationship.
“It doesn’t matter.” Bai Xingfan looked at her with a focused expression and a firm tone, “I will always wait for you.”
After they were seated again, the dinner officially started.
The ingredients used in each dish are top-level configuration, and it can be seen at a glance that the price is expensive, which shows that the overall cost of this dinner must be high.
According to the rules here, the person who lights the sky lantern must bear the cost of all the dinner parties held in Shan Yin Xuan tonight.
Although there are only four games, the cost must be staggering enough.
Su Yan felt a little distressed, but she was too embarrassed to ask how much Bai Xingfan spent. After all, this sky lantern was lit for her.
Yao An’an and Bai Xinglan didn’t come back until halfway through the dinner.
Later, when talking with the guests he knew, Bai Xinglan learned that his brother had lit the sky lantern just now, but he actually missed it!
Bai Ershao was heartbroken, and then began to beg his brother if he could order another game for his own younger brother?
Bai Xingfan ignored him at all.
After the dinner, the guests left the venue one after another, but Yao Anan couldn’t leave, because the task arranged by the master for her had not been completed, so Su Yan accompanied her to the Zhuyuan. Before they left, Bai Xingfan instructed Su Yan to wait outside the Zhuyuan Gate after getting something, and he would pick them up.
After the troops were divided into two groups, Su Yan and Yao Anan descended all the way, from Wangmei Garden to Xiuzhu Garden. Along the way, Su Yan’s ears and mouth have never been idle, because Yao An has been gossiping to her, and her attitude is very serious, like a policeman who is interrogating a prisoner.
The paper could no longer contain the fire, and Su Yan was embarrassed to continue to hide it from her good sisters, so she could only answer questions.
The two walked all the way to talk, and when they were about to reach Wangmei Garden, Su Yan finally explained everything between herself and Bai Xingfan to “Officer Yao”, Yao Anan was satisfied, but still very angry: “You You’ve been hiding it from me for so long? Sure enough, you don’t love me anymore when you have a wild man!”
“…”
Su Yan was helpless: “I didn’t hide it from you on purpose, I just didn’t know what to do.”
Yao Anan: “What should I do?”
Su Yan was silent for a moment, and finally expressed her concerns: “I’m afraid he is the second Xie Yu.”
Yao An’an’s eyes widened, and she said in shock, “Bai Xingfan actually has an ex-girlfriend whom he has been talking about for many years?!”
Su Yan was also shocked: “What? How did you know?”
Yao An’an: “Didn’t you say that, I’m afraid he is the second Xie Yu.”
Su Yan: “Then I didn’t say he had an ex-girlfriend!”
Yao Anan was speechless: “Then what are you worried about?”
Su Yan: “…”
Yao Anan: “It’s his next girlfriend who should be worried.”
Su Yan: “…”
Yao Anan went on to say, “Do you think that a scumbag like Xie Yu is easy to find? It’s beautiful! Men who are so scumbag are rarer than the moon.”
It’s true that few men would dare to run away from their ex-girlfriend on their wedding day.
Su Yan really had no way to disagree: “You are right.”
Yao An’an: “So you worry a lot.”
Su Yan sighed: “I’m not talking about my ex-girlfriend, it’s about family conditions and class level. The difference between me and him is too far, and we don’t belong to the same family. How can we be together?”
Yao An’an: “Don’t you have three views and knowledge? If you two have the same three views and can understand and tolerate each other, why not?”
Su Yan: “I’m not sure if we can do this between the two of us.”
Yao An’an: “You haven’t been with him before, of course you don’t know.”
Su Yan: “What if it’s not suitable to be together?”
Yao An’an: “Then separate.”
Su Yan: “Isn’t this a waste of emotion?”
Yao An’an: “It’s not a waste to hang up like you are now? If you like each other, try it. If you haven’t even tried it, how do you know it’s not suitable?”
Su Yan was speechless, not knowing how to refute this sentence.
At this time, they had reached the entrance of the bamboo garden. Fortunately, the banquet in the bamboo garden was over, and the guests were leaving in twos and threes. Seeing this, Yao Anan immediately called the chef surnamed Zhao.
This time, the call was quickly connected, and Chef Zhao asked them to wait at the entrance of Zhuyuan for a while, and then he went over immediately.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a middle-aged man in a white chef’s uniform came out of the side door. Yao An’an and Su Yan immediately walked towards him.
The two parties connected, one handed payment and the other handed delivery, and the undisclosed transaction was successfully completed in full view of the public.
Chef Zhao took the money and the confidentiality agreement and returned to Zhuyuan through the side door; Su Yan waited for Yao Anan to put the sky-high beauty and slimming recipe into his backpack, and walked with her to the roadside in front of the main entrance of Xiuzhuyuan, waiting for Pick up by car—Although Yao Anan does not have a driver, the staff will help her drive the car over.
After the dinner, it was the peak of the return journey. One after another, top luxury cars drove past them one after another, all from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Because it is night, for safety reasons, everyone’s speed is not high, so there is some congestion on the road.
Su Yan and Yao Anan were chatting and waiting, but they were not bored.
There were also many guests who had just come out of Xiuzhu Garden around them, and everyone was waiting for their driver and car.
Except for Su Yan and Yao An’an, everyone else was wearing fancy clothes, but after a night of practice, Su Yan and Yao An’an were also used to this feeling of being out of place.
Almost all the people around were standing and chatting, and the voices in the ears were a bit noisy. Suddenly, a clear and clear “Yan Yan” penetrated the crowd and entered Su Yan’s ears.
The familiar male voice made Su Yan froze, holding her breath for a moment.
She turned her head back incredulously, her eyes crossed the crowd, and she met Xie Yu’s gaze.
This was the first time she saw Xie Yu after that wedding in a few months.
He was wearing a dark gray suit today, with a black tie in front of a white shirt, and the warm yellow lighting was projected on his cheeks from the side, sparing no effort to illuminate his handsome, angular features, and even more so. The indescribable excitement flashed in his eyes.
Excited to the point of shortness of breath, lips trembling.
He has been afraid to go to her, dare not see her, because he has no face to face her.
But he really misses her.
Like a mountain torrent, Xie Yu could no longer restrain the longing in his heart, and he pushed the crowd in front of him desperately, and rushed towards her like a madman.
Su Yan froze in place, staring at Xie Yu dumbfounded.
He appeared so suddenly that she didn’t react at all.
Just when he was about to rush in front of her, “Su Yan” interrupted their thoughts at the same time.
The sound of “Su Yan” was deep and cold, like a piece of unpolished jade.
If Xie Yu was severely injured, he froze in place in astonishment—it was that voice!
He will never forget that phone call and that man’s voice for the rest of his life.
Like a falcon smelling a dangerous breath, he began to look for the source of the sound, and as soon as he looked up, he met a pair of dark and deep eyes.
These eyes seem to be covered with a layer of frost, which is extremely oppressive and daunting.
Consternation flashed across Xie Yu’s expression again – Bai Xingfan?
He knew Bai Xingfan, but he didn’t know him well, and he didn’t even speak to him. He only met once at a few dinner parties.
Will the initiator be him?
Did he offend him?
Xie Yu couldn’t tell anything from the voice alone, but Bai Xingfan’s voice was so similar to that man, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
Su Yan also heard Bai Xingfan’s voice, and immediately turned her face back, only to find that his car was parked in front of her.
Bai Xingfan was standing in front of the half-open car door, looking at her blankly.
“Get in the car.” He said succinctly, beyond question.
His face was a little gloomy, Su Yan didn’t dare to resist, and got into the car obediently.
Yao Anan noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and decided to choose the path of “take care of yourself”, so he ran to the back to find his own civic.
The moment Bai Xingfan closed the car door, Su Yan’s heart also trembled – judging from the strength of closing the car door, he was already angry.
Su Yan raised her eyes, looked at someone sitting beside her quietly, pursed her lips and hesitated, and explained, “I didn’t expect him to be here.”
Bai Xingfan didn’t speak, he looked forward with a cold face, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
Hey, be careful.
You are the vinegar.
Su Yan was a little unconvinced, and reluctantly glanced at the back of the car, who knew that she was facing Xie Yu’s line of sight.
Xie Yu never left, standing motionless on the side of the road, frowning deeply, his eyes fixed on Bai Xingfan’s car.
Su Yan sighed and thought: It’s really an enemy with a narrow road.
She never dreamed that she would meet Xie Yu here by chance.
If she could, she hoped that she would never see him again in her life.
“Still watching?”
Bai Xingfan’s voice was cold, Su Yan suddenly returned to her senses, she immediately turned her head back, and whispered, “Aren’t you ignoring me?”
“…”
Another feeling of being on the verge of losing control.
I want to occupy her, put her in a cage, put a shackle on her, so that she can stay by my side obediently.
But he was afraid of hurting her.
He put her on the top of his heart and was reluctant to hurt her in the slightest.
Bai Xingfan took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions: “Miss Su wants me to say something?”
Su Yan: “…”
There is absolutely no way to answer this.
After thinking about it, she returned him the same sentence: “Is Mr. Bai jealous?” When she said this, she was still a little complacent, feeling that she had finally turned the tide against the wind.
Who knows, Bai Xingfan’s answer turned out to be: “Otherwise?”
Su Yan: “…”
Bai Xingfan looked at her expressionlessly: “Indifferently watching the woman I like flirting with other men?”
The three words “the woman I like” made Su Yan’s face blushed, but the four words “showing affection” made her a little angry: “I didn’t even flirt with him!”
Bai Xingfan was noncommittal, his expression and tone revealed a little gloom: “You have been looking at him.”
Su Yan was helpless: “I can’t see him yet?”
Bai Xingfan is firm and firm: “No.”
Su Yan was not convinced: “Why not? Do you see him breaking the law?”
Bai Xingfan was silent for a moment: “Don’t break the law, break me.”
Su Yan was taken aback: “What?”
Bai Xingfan’s expression was extremely serious: “I will be jealous for you.”
Su Yan’s heart trembled suddenly, as if being gently fiddled with a feather.
That tingling, tingling and numb, spread rapidly down the apex of the heart, and invaded the entire heart irresistibly.
Her breathing began to become disordered again, her sanity began to spin out of control, and her emotions tried to get out of control.
A danger warning sounded again in her mind, she desperately restrained herself from looking at him, clenched her teeth and turned her face to the car window.
It was pitch black outside the window, only the lights on the side of the road shone down.
Su Yan tried her best to get rid of all distracting thoughts and tried to focus on the night scene outside the window, but with little success, she was always unstoppable – he would be jealous for her.
The atmosphere in the car is quiet, and the baffles between the front and rear rows isolate the two of them in a private space.
Bai Xingfan’s voice suddenly sounded in the car, his voice was low and gentle: “Yan Yan,”
This was the first time he called her by her nickname.
Su Yan’s heart skipped a beat, feeling temptation and danger.
He looked at her profile face, affectionately and earnestly: “Will you be my girlfriend?”
