Starlight Has No Past

Chapter 30 Part 2

Liang Ziruo felt quite happy after voicing her complaints about his brother . Then she thought about something more serious: “Have you interacted with Wen Shaoqian?” She stared at him quite seriously . “Listen, the way you live your life now is up to the limit that our family can accept . If you go with these kinds of people and mess up your own life, don’t blame dad if he disowns you later . ”

Zhou Tingsheng amusedly pushed away the hand that was pointing at him: “Rest a.s.sured . ”

Liang Ziruo felt much better and smiled: “That’s good . There’s an opening gala for the auction with many beautiful women . You can pick any one of them, I’ll pretend that I didn’t see . ”

Zhou Tingsheng wasn’t too interested in these sorts of things . Yet Liang Ziruo was especially enthusiastic in finding a match for him, maybe it was her way to relieve the pressure of work . She even sent several pictures with personal information to Zhou Tingsheng’s mailbox, like an overzealous matchmaker . The pictures were all candidates with good qualifications . Zhou Tingsheng took a look, there was an accomplished woman from Cambridge, a PhD from the University of Columbia . He was wondering whether he was choosing a girlfriend or a graduate school?

The opening gala was held at the harbor at night . A double decked cruise ship docked at the port as the venue for Ferra’s gala . The French chanson was played, intoxicating the men and women there . Zhou Tingsheng had found a vantage point higher up to drink his wine and overlook the spectacular event . The perfume from the attending women permeated the sea breeze . However, these sort of occasions bored him .

He lazily glanced at the men and women down below . A resplendent silhouette caught his eye .

Ten minutes before, Ye Qiao was changing inside her room in this same cruise ship . The narrow mirror reflected her naked body .

She stood in front of the mirror without much expression on her face . On her bare chest was the scar from the past-- --10 centimeters long . After seven years, the scar had faded into a hazel hue, though one could still imagine the scarlet mark it once was and the life and death experience behind the color .

Surrounding the scar was the tattoo pattern Zhou Tingsheng had carefully drawn for her . Those vines that looked as if they were growing out of her heart and willfully spread out as if they were about to grow into a big tree against all odds . However, when she woke up from the dream, the vines remained only as branches without even having the chance to be colored .

Ye Qiao opened an elegant, velvety rectangular box, changed into a gown, and put on the earrings and necklace from the box . Wen Shaoqian’s phone call happened to come in when Ye Qiao finished dressing . She picked up her clutch and answered the phone while walking towards the door: “I’m coming out . ”

“En . I’m waiting outside . ” Ye Qiao found herself unaccustomed to Wen Shaoqian’s gentle voice, he sounded overly attentive and thoughtful .

Actually, she rarely came to these kind of events on her own . It was Wen Shaoqian who had persuaded her using his “professional judgement” to suggest going on a vacation in order to get a break from her busy work schedule and her troubled love life .

The night view in the harbor was so beautiful that Ye Qiao started thinking it was a good idea to make the trip . She looked up to the sky and let the sea breeze whisper through her hair . The reflection of the moon on the surface of the water was soft and bright .

Ye Qiao was lost in thought when a jacket with a pleasant fragrance was put on her shoulders . Wen Shaoqian quite gentlemanly gathered the front of the jacket closer and said: “It’s a little chilly out here . Do you want something to drink to warm yourself up?”

“Sure . ” She followed him to get a drink but suddenly turned around to take a glance as if she was searching .

Wen Shaoqian asked: “What’s the matter?”

Ye Qiao shook her head: “It’s nothing . I thought I saw something . ”

She always had a sharp intuition . She distinctly felt that someone was looking at her direction just now .
