"Miss Bai." Just as she turned around, a familiar girl's voice suddenly sounded behind her. She was startled, and Yun Chuan lowered her head and asked, "Do you know her?"
"Not very familiar."
"Do you want to say hello?" Yunchuan respected her opinion 100%.
She nodded and turned slowly.
Ye Xiao was wearing a dark suit tonight, very formal. Nalan, who was beside him, was wearing a white dress, especially fresh and refined. Holding his arm, standing beside him, she looked even more petite and lovely. Although the two of them were more than 10 years apart, to be honest, not only did they not look any different in age, but they actually looked very compatible.
Yu An stood behind them.
When Bai Suye looked away, she met Ye Xiao's cold gaze. Her heartstrings tightened a little, and she looked away. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Ye Xiao's eyes seemed to be staring at her arm holding Yun Chuan.
Before, he still needed her to be loyal to him, but now that the two of them haven't had any contact for such a long time, does that mean she no longer needs to be loyal to him
"Miss Bai, it's been a long time." The first person to speak was Nalan. She smiled sweetly, as if she was completely unaware of the awkward atmosphere.
"A long time."
Nalan's attention was immediately drawn to Yunchuan, "Is this the future boyfriend you mentioned last time? Could it be that because he has become your boyfriend now, you have never appeared again?"
Future boyfriend...
Yunchuan smiled and said, "Did she tell you that?"
"Yeah. That's right." Nalan nodded and looked at the Night Owl beside him, "You heard it at that time, too, right?"
Ye Xiao had a blank expression on his face and did not respond to Nalan's words.
The two men's eyes met in the air, and Yun Chuan was secretly shocked by the sharpness in his eyes.
This person... is too aggressive and too domineering.
Did I offend him at some point
But, it was clearly the first time I saw him.
"It's time to go." Night Owl said only three words indifferently, without greeting them, and even seemed to be disdainful of giving them an extra glance, and walked in with heavy steps. His posture was like that of an ancient emperor.
He went in first, and Bai Suye breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at their backs holding hands, her eyes darkened.
"That man, is he also your friend?"
Bai Suye shook her head, "None of them are my friends. Let's go in too."
Yun Chuan just felt strange. From what the girl said just now, she knew of his existence, which was not like an ordinary friend at all. However, the name "Miss Bai" was indeed very unfamiliar.
However, Yunchuan didn't ask any more questions and just went in with Bai Suyue.
… … … … …
There were many people at the dinner.
Men and women were drinking and chatting. If one stayed there alone, he would disappear in a moment.
But Night Owl is different...
No matter how many people there were, or how lively the scene was, he was still the most eye-catching one in the whole place. She only needed to turn her head slightly to see him—from a distance, surrounded by the crowd, occasionally clinking glasses with others. Indifferent, but not impolite.
Throughout the process, he attracted the attention of countless women. They all looked at him, admired him, whispered to each other, and felt sorry for him.
Because, throughout the night, Nalan followed him closely, as if to tell all the women in the world that this man belonged to her and no one else could covet him. Obviously, Ye Xiao also gave her face, holding her waist with his big hand, almost never letting go.
Bai Suye looked away and drank two glasses of wine. The burning alcohol slid into his stomach, and the cool feeling in his body finally became better.
"Are you too bored?" Yun Chuan greeted her and happened to see her put down her empty wine glass.
"No, it's fine to just stay here and watch." Those who came tonight were all from the business world, and she didn't know many people in the business world. This made it more relaxing and she didn't have to socialize too much.
"We'll just dance a few times and then leave. As long as we're here, it's fine."
"good."
Bai Suye nodded, and melodious music slowly sounded in the venue.
It is very important to start the dance music. Originally, the chairman and his wife of the Chamber of Commerce were to start the game, but the chairman strongly invited Ye Xiao and Na Lan. In the past, Ye Xiao didn't like this kind of occasion. Bai Suye thought he would refuse without hesitation, but this time, he didn't. Instead, he bowed his head and asked for Na Lan's opinion.
Nalan nodded, and he took her hand and slowly walked into the dance floor.
A pair of figures danced gracefully under envious eyes. Ten years later, Night Owl's dancing became more and more elegant.
"They are such a good match."
"This girl must be very young, she looks like she's only around 20. But Ye Xiao is already 32."
"Of course men nowadays like young girls. Look at her at 18, she's so tender and you can even squeeze water out of her face."
The whispers of others beside her entered Bai Suye's ears. She looked at the happy scene in front of her from afar, and her eyes unconsciously filled with a light mist.
He is happy...
"Are you okay?" Yun Chuan sensed that something was wrong with her and was a little worried.
"It's okay." Bai Suye shook her head. "It's just that I feel touched when I see couples of lovers. It's inevitable to feel sad after being single for too long."
"Are you sentimental to the point of being sentimental? That doesn't seem like it."
"Do I look too sane?"
Yun Chuan nodded solemnly, "Very."
She laughed and said straightforwardly, "So what I said just now was a lie. Now that the opening dance is over, can we go dance too?"
"Of course, I'm honored!" Yun Chuan bowed slightly and handed her his hand like a gentleman. She smiled and placed her hand in his palm, not even glancing at the other couple.
… … … … …
Nalan had already noticed that something was wrong with Night Owl tonight.
He was not a person who liked dancing, and in previous occasions like this, he would have left long ago. But tonight, he not only danced with her for the opening dance, but also for the second and third dances, and he showed no intention of ending.
Occasionally, they would dance past Bai Suye and Yunchuan. Bai Suye was always smiling as she talked to Yunchuan. Their voices were very soft, they were very close, and their postures looked quite ambiguous. Nalan noticed that every time the two of them passed by them, Ye Xiao's expression became a little colder. In the end, his whole body seemed to be covered with ice, so Nalan didn't even dare to breathe, and he danced wrong several times.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, there was a loud "click" and the lights in the entire venue suddenly went dark.
The music also came to an abrupt end.
