Chapter 454: Meeting Again (2)
Jian Yiling!
She had come to the capital!
She had broken her promise to him!
It had been three years. Over a thousand days and nights.
He had chosen to let her go. Chosen to stay in the capital and not inquire about her anymore.
However, she had turned up at the Qin family banquet! She made no secret of her presence as well!
However, before Zhai Yunsheng could recover from his shock, Qin Chuan appeared beside Jian Yiling.
Qin Chuan walked back to Jian Yiling.
This time, he brought something to Jian Yiling.
He didn’t stay for long before he left again.
However, he was gentle and patient as he spoke to her. This was not something that he did when he spoke to other people.
Although this only lasted for a short period of time, two people had been watching them like a hawk.
One of them was Mo s.h.i.+yun. She never took her eyes off Qin Chuan in the first place.
She took in every movement and expression of Qin Chuan.
As she watched, her heart began to feel as though it was being suffocated. She was unable to catch her breath.
In the past few years, she thought that she had given up. She thought that she was no longer obsessed with Qin Chuan.
However, when she saw Qin Chuan talk to Jian Yiling in such a gentle manner, it was as though a thousand ants were gnawing at her heart.
When Zhai Yunsheng saw the scene in front of him, his heart did not hurt. Instead, his chest felt tight.
Then, he heard people chatter not far away from him:
“I heard that Young Master Qin is going to dance with a very special lady today.”
“Yeah, that’s true. When Young Master Qin was talking to someone just now, he told them that he was going to dance with the most important person in his life. He said this with a smile on his face. And thus, I a.s.sume that he’s going to dance with her for the first dance of the day.”
“Wait, does that mean that this isn’t just the return of the Young Master of the Qin family? Rather, he’s also bringing back the future Young Lady of the Qin family as well?”
Zhai Yunsheng’s bodyguards noticed that Master Sheng’s face had visibly darkened.
In the banquet hall, elegant music began to play.
Zhai Yunsheng suddenly got up. His long legs took big steps as he walked straight across the ballroom.
As soon as he moved, everyone looked at him in surprise.
The crowd was incredibly surprised. What happened to Master Sheng?
Jian Yiling was currently burying her face in food.
Yu Xi was also focused on eating food.
Suddenly, he felt a chillness in the air.
Yu Xi raised his head and saw Zhai Yunsheng. He hadn’t seen Zhai Yunsheng for a long time.
“Master… Master Sheng?”
Why was Master Sheng also here?
Didn’t Master Sheng hate coming to such occasions?
The number of times that Master Sheng had been to a party in the past three years could be counted on one hand.
When Yu Xi spoke, Jian Yiling raised her head as well. She looked at Zhai Yunsheng.
Three years had pa.s.sed. Zhai Yunsheng’s appearance had become more mature.
However, he had the same phoenix eyes. Eyes that were deep and mysterious. Eyes that Jian Yiling could not read.
His lips were pursed in a straight line and his expression was taut.
However, he still wore his clothes the same as before. The top two b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt were still unb.u.t.toned.
The skin that was under his s.h.i.+rt was still as white as ever.
As Jian Yiling looked at him, she knew that he was going to be angry.
She had broken her promise to him.
In reality, Zhai Yunsheng was indeed angry. However, the reason for his anger was far more complicated than Jian Yiling’s simple thoughts.
Zhai Yunsheng’s hands were clenched into a fist in his suit trousers. He felt his knuckles click.
The two of them stared at each other. They did not speak for a long time.
Yu Xi looked at the two of them. He felt that the atmosphere was not right and thus, he hurriedly spoke out to try and break the frigid atmosphere.
“Master Sheng, you haven’t seen G.o.d Ling in quite some time, right? What a coincidence… Why don’t you sit down and have something to eat together…”
At the end of the sentence, Yu Xi’s voice began to trail off.
The atmosphere had become worse. It felt as though Master Sheng was about to get angry at any moment.
