…
It was the school’s 100th anniversary, so the school arranged for the top three students in each cla.s.s to attend as representatives.
Teachers, students, and guests filled the rows.
The host was doing a wonderful job as well.
Xuxu, Su Yue, and Bai Jing sat together in a row. Yan Rusheng informed Xuxu that he had something to settle first.
But half an hour later, he still wasn’t back.
Xuxu peered around the venue, looking for him.
“I’m sure all the teachers and students are familiar with our next esteemed guest. He is the President of Flourish & Prosper and he too graduated from Yizhong.”
The host loudly announced the arrival of Flourish & Prosper’s President.
Xuxu glanced at the stage in shock.
“Let us applaud to warmly welcome President Yan Rusheng from Flourish & Prosper.”
Applause thundered and echoed around before Xuxu could react.
The gorgeous man, dressed smartly in a suit, strode across the stage towards the host.
The host bowed and gestured at the microphone stand. “President Yan.”
He gracefully walked to the microphone stand. He began to speak with a faint smile playing on his lips. “The princ.i.p.al insisted that I had to give a speech. I only have a few words. I would like to thank Yizhong, and I would like to thank Teacher Li for organizing a summer camp for our cla.s.s.”
He paused as his eyes darted to a specific woman in the crowd. The woman looked surprised… and she seemed touched at the same time.
A tender smile played at the corners of his mouth. “And lastly, Xuxu, thank you for accompanying me through my childhood.”
Yan Rusheng nodded curtly at the crowd.
After that, he left the stage.
It had everyone dumbfounded. The speech… was way too brief.
The princ.i.p.al and teachers were all silently protesting.
He should have thanked his teachers in his speech and made some touching comments. But all he did was to mention his childhood sweetheart on stage.
Other than Xuxu and Yan Rusheng, no one else knew why Yan Rusheng had thanked Teacher Li for organizing the summer camp for the cla.s.s.
Yan Rusheng strode towards Xuxu and stood before her. He bent and kissed her tenderly on her forehead.
He then glanced at Su Yue, but she didn’t intend to give up his seat at all since Ming Ansheng was sitting beside her.
He glanced at Bai Jing instead.
Bai Jing understood and rose. “Third Brother, you can have my seat.”
There was an empty seat behind her, so Bai Jing occupied it instead.
“Bai Jing.” One seat away was Zhao Zheng. He craned his neck to look at Bai Jing with a smile.
Bai Jing glanced at him with a cold look, but she didn’t respond.
Yan Rusheng sat down next to Xuxu and turned to face her.
Xuxu said in a hushed whisper, “Why didn’t you tell me you were giving a speech?”
Yan Rusheng flashed a charming smile at her. “I wanted to give you a surprise.”
“So annoying,” whispered Xuxu as she pinched Yan Rusheng’s bicep.
Yan Rusheng intercepted her hand and tightened his grip on her hand.
Both of their hands intertwined tightly as they gazed at the stage once more.
The place holds so many wonderful memories.
Bai Jing stared at Yan Rusheng and Xuxu, a bit envious.
‘Don’t you want to have him…’
Zhao Zheng’s words invoked her desire once more.
Ming Ansheng had just answered a call and he said to Su Yue, “Something cropped up and I need to leave now.”
