Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With an outstanding appearance and exceptional net worth, Han Yifeng was one of perfect Prince Charmings most girls dreamt of. His presence simply took many people’s breath away. A lot of girls started getting envious of Xi Xinyi.
Being born in a prestigious family and now having become a popular superstar, she even got married to such a worthy man. Xi Xinyi had gotten hold of what a woman could dream of. How fortunate of her!
The shutter clicks went on frantically as Han Yifeng stepped in. He smiled as he nodded to the guests, befitting of the image for a young man from a prestigious family.
“CEO Han, you’re finally here! Everyone’s ready and it’s about time too.” a.s.sistant Xiao Zhao came up to him.
Han Yifeng looked ahead to see his parents Han Yu and Huang Ziyao as well as Yue Lingsi and Deng Wenwen. They were greeting the guests joyfully. Looking around, he could not find Xi Mushan anywhere, so he frowned slightly. “Is Uncle Xi not back yet?”
“Mrs. Xi gave him a call just now. He’s on the way and should be here soon. CEO Han, Ms. Xi is just upstairs, let’s go!”
Xiao Zhao smiled. “I heard Ms. Shanshan say that Ms. Xi is really stunning today. Coupled with you, CEO Han, you two are the perfect match! I’m so excited for the both of you!”
Han Yifeng’s expression softened. His eyes looked much gentler as well as he nodded and then looked towards the staircase area. As though he suddenly remembered something, he looked at Xiao Zhao and asked, “Did you see Ms. Xiaye?”
“CEO Han, Ms. Xiaye…”
Before Xiao Zhao could finish his sentence, there was some commotion at the back. Han Yifeng turned around as he heard someone yelling, “It’s Mayor Xi!”
“Hmm? Who’s the young lady beside Mayor Xi?”
“Why does she seem a little familiar?”
Looking at the entrance, Xi Mushan was walking slowly into the house, and beside him was a slim lady with waist-length hair wearing a black windbreaker.
It was Xi Xiaye!
Han Yifeng’s focus instantly locked on Xi Xiaye’s unfriendly figure.
“Congratulations, Mayor Xi!” People started greeting Xi Mushan the moment he came in.
Xi Xiaye glanced at Xi Mushan coldly. As she ignored the odd gazes from everyone else, she paved a path for herself and walked straight ahead towards the staircase area with a dark aura around her.
“Xiaye, you…”
Han Yifeng came up to her with a mixed expression, yet she totally ignored him and pushed him away coldly before proceeding upstairs.
Because Xi Xiaye had used quite some force, Han Yifeng crashed onto the staircase handle. Luckily, he reacted quickly and clutched onto the handle, avoiding an embarra.s.sing fall.
Thump!
Solid footsteps marched right upstairs. He was startled and had no idea what had happened. By the time he looked around for Xi Xiaye, she had already headed upstairs.
“Yifeng! Are you alright?” Yue Lingsi and the others came up to him quickly and looked at him worriedly. Han Yu and Huang Ziyao who were behind looked at each other with a complicated expression.
“I’m fine!”
Han Yifeng pushed Xiao Zhao who was holding him away. He was starting to get impatient and then went upstairs as well. Yue Lingsi and the others seemed panicked.
What had happened?
Such a turn of events confused the crowd. They widened their eyes when they witnessed what just happened. So many questions needed to be answered.
…
“It’s Xiaye! Oh G.o.d, is something going to happen again?”
Huang Ziyao looked troubled as Xi Xiaye’s figure disappeared by the staircase. She held onto Han Yu’s hand and said, “Today is a big day for Yifeng and Xinyi. Please don’t let anything happen!”
“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. Let’s go up and take a look!”
Although Han Yu spoke those words, he was worried too. He felt a great sense of unease when he saw Xi Xiaye’s cold aura around her. Hopefully, nothing bad would happen!
“Don’t worry, it should be alright. I’ll go up and take a look. Mother, please take care of things downstairs.”
Yue Lingsi frowned with her heart worried sick. Then, she went upstairs as well.
As for Xi Xiaye, she headed straight for Xi Xinyi’s room as soon as she reached the second floor. After taking several steps, she saw the beautiful Xi Xinyi coming towards her with a joyful expression along with Huang Shanshan beside her.
“Xi Xiaye!”
Huang Shanshan raised her head when she heard the hasty sound of footsteps in front. The first thing she saw was Xi Xiaye’s cold expression and her eyes were dark as if a black typhoon was walking right towards them.
“What are you trying to do?!”
Huang Shanshan trembled slightly and looked at Xi Xiaye cautiously. She unconsciously s.h.i.+elded Xi Xinyi behind her. However, before she could grab Xi Xinyi, Xi Xiaye dragged on her dress and pulled her behind her. Huang Shanshan fell against the wall behind and fell onto the floor.
“Sis, have you finally decided to come?”
Xi Xinyi glanced at Huang Shanshan and freaked out a little, but a smile appeared on her face. As she was about to cling onto Xi Xiaye, Xi Xiaye closed in on her and looked at her with a pair of icy cold eyes. In a cold and calm voice, she said, “I’m going to ask you this.”
She squinted her eyes as they got colder. “Did you go and look for my mother yesterday at University A?”
Xi Xinyi was shocked and her expression changed when those words came out from Xi Xiaye’s mouth. She stared blankly at her and mumbled, “Sis, I just… I just wanted to give her an invitation. I…”
Before she could finish, a wicked grin crossed Xi Xiaye’s face. Her tiny figure went up swiftly. She moved so fast that behind, Han Yifeng could only catch a glimpse of a dark figure…
As quickly as she could, she grabbed onto Xi Xinyi’s hair and yanked her backwards. She raised her other hand and started slapping that lovely face.
“Ah!!!”
Xi Xinyi’s heartbreaking scream came right after the resounding slap, breaking the silence in the corridor.
