Chapter 42 Waltz

  Chen Yan sat on the sofa holding the remote control and kept changing channels. When he saw Jiang Yan coming, he raised his head and pointed to the opposite side for her to sit down.

  "Brother Chen Yan, do you have something to ask me?" Jiang Yan asked timidly, unable to figure out why Chen Yan had called her over. She was a little scared and carefully thought about various possibilities in her heart. If he asked about the phone call that day when she provoked him about Xia Xi, how should she respond? If he asked about her relationship with Yuan Ruo and those rich kids, how should she answer?

  Her mind had been racing for half a day, but Chen Yan still hadn't asked her anything, he just picked an orange from the fruit plate and handed it to her.

  "I won't eat anymore" Jiang Yan's heart was filled with even more anxiety

  "Didn't you say that day that you wouldn't give up..." Chen Yan picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and looked at Jiang Yan, saying: "Since it's like this, then let's date."

  His tone was as light as a cloud, just like saying "since that's the case, let's have another apple". This sentence fell into Jiang Yan's ears, but it was like throwing a huge stone into the Heart Lake, and the fireworks in front of her suddenly burst open. "What?" She almost doubted if she had misheard, until Chen Yan repeated it again, and only then did she dare to confirm that her wish for many years had come true just like that.

  "That's all, I'll have the driver send you back later," Chen Yan said, standing up and turning to head back upstairs to his bedroom.

  "Wait a minute!" Jiang Yan shouted to stop him. The girl was indeed thoughtful, she knew he wasn't in her heart just by looking at Chen Yan's expression, but that didn't matter, as long as he was willing to give her a chance, as long as she could be by his side, she would one day make him fall in love with her.

  Chen Yan turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

  Jiang Yan just wanted to talk to him a bit more, rummaging through her mind for topics, and suddenly remembered what had happened on the road earlier. She hesitated before opening her mouth: "Yuan Rui... he's still bothering me."

  As soon as he heard the name, Chen Yan raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully: "I'll take care of it"

  Jiang Yan heard this and smiled, stepping forward to hold Chen Yan's hand. "Brother Ayi, I'm so happy, I will definitely treat you better than Xia Xi."

  When Chen Yan heard the three words "Xia Xi Xi", his eyes flashed with some ripples, and he quietly shook off Jiang Yan's hand, coldly smiling and saying "As long as you're happy"

  His expression was uncertain and unpredictable, in stark contrast to the joy on Jiang Yan's face beside him. The two of them stood before a massive glass window, frozen into a picturesque scene just before sunset.

  At eight o'clock in the evening, on the top floor of C City's landmark building, elegant waltz melodies fluttered among men in luxurious attire, where a lively and extraordinary annual meeting was underway.

  The lights dimmed, and the protagonist of the annual meeting took the stage. Liu Yaxong stood under the spotlight, this nearly fifty-year-old middle-aged man was the leader of the entire C City pharmaceutical industry. His temples had some white hair, but he looked straight and majestic, his charm undiminished.

  "I would like to extend my heartfelt welcome to all of you who have taken time out of your busy schedules to attend Jade's year-end appreciation dinner. I am truly grateful for your presence here tonight." He paused for a moment, his tone softening, "Throughout my life, from being an unknown small-town doctor, to venturing into business, and finally establishing the Jade Pharmaceutical Company, the greatest pride I have is not these achievements, but rather my daughter. Allow me to introduce my little princess, Xinmiao."

  The spotlight shone on Xinxin, who was standing in the front row. Her expression was slightly surprised, and then she regained her usual calmness. She walked slowly onto the stage, wearing a white off-the-shoulder mini dress that accentuated her slender figure. Her smooth neck looked elegant and noble even without any adornments.

  She bowed to the crowd, intimately holding her father's arm, and said a few polite words in a calm and collected manner, before returning to the stage. It was only then that she dared to relax the tension in her heart, as no one had told her about this arrangement beforehand, so she could only improvise.

  This appearance, originally hidden in the crowd, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Envious or admiring glances accompanied by whispers came to her from time to time, making Liu Xuan feel very uncomfortable. Just then, someone patted her shoulder.

  "Turned around and took a look, somewhat surprised: 'Teacher Xu?'"

  Xu Mufeng wore a black suit, making him look even more handsome and elegant. He smiled politely at Xing Man and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to have a parent-teacher conference."

  Xiao Mei gave him a white eye, slightly smiled and didn't speak.

  "Give me a smile and let's dance, okay?" Xu Mufeng extended his hand in invitation, Xuan Mo took it, and the two of them changed steps, swaying to the gentle music as they waltzed.

  "Teacher Xu, may I ask impertinently, you gave up your promising future in the UK and returned to teach high school students, was it because you were fed up with the corruption of capitalism and joined the modernization construction of socialism to purify your soul?"

  "However," Yu Mu Feng smiled and said with a humble tone, but his attitude was distant.

  "Then you'll infiltrate our teaching staff and corrupt the flowers of our motherland with capitalist civilization?" Xian Miao's words were sharp as a knife.

  The tone of this person, has a familiar feeling, Xu Mu Feng couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, jokingly saying: "Liu Xuan Mei, if I were 7 or 8 years younger, I would definitely chase after you"

  "If you were seven or eight years younger, I wouldn't like you" Xing Miao's mouth curved up, her heartbeat quickening with the rhythm of the dance, but Xu Mu Feng stopped in his tracks at this moment, staring blankly in one direction.

  Xian Mei stopped and turned around, looking in the direction of his gaze. At the end of the light, Shu Hua was walking towards him with Liang Heng, her steps gentle and elegant.

  She was wearing a burgundy evening gown, elegant and poised, greeting people around her with ease. Beside her, Liang wore a well-tailored suit, his face adorned with a humble smile, the two of them looking like a perfect couple.

  Xin Mei didn't notice Xu Mu Feng's emotional changes, and waved her hand to greet Shu Hua. Shu Hua smiled in response while walking towards her, but when his eyes landed on Xu Mu Feng standing beside Xin Mei, his expression faltered, and his footsteps slowed down. His hand, which was holding onto Liang He's arm, unconsciously loosened its grip.

  She walked up to Xianmiao, patted her shoulder, and used this small gesture to cover up the unusual expression from just now. "Xianmiao, it's so beautiful today."

  "Brother Xu, you're here too." It was Liang Heng who first greeted Xu Mufeng.

  "Hello, long time no see." Shu Hua stood beside Liang Heng and nodded towards Xu Mu Feng.

  A long time no see, with a gentle breeze and light clouds, made the usually elegant host Shu's voice choked with sobs, while Xu Mufeng nodded slightly before responding after a long pause: "Yes"

  Xin Meng only heard that the three people had known each other for many years from their sparse conversation, but she couldn't understand or penetrate the subtle relationships between them, so she silently stood aside without speaking, until Xu Mu Feng called her, and then she followed him to start dancing again.

  After the brief encounter just now, Xu Mufeng was visibly distracted and made several mistakes in a row. Xuan Xiao gestured for him to stop and sat down with him on a nearby sofa to rest.

  He was preoccupied, his eyes drifting around the dance floor, following the swaying figure of Shu Hua. Xian Mei also hesitated to ask questions, sipping her juice on the side and making a subtle hint: "I heard from my cousin that she has known Mr. Liang for many years. She recently returned to the city to do a show and will be staying here for quite some time. It seems like something good is about to happen."

  "Really?" Xu Mufeng's eyes dimmed upon hearing this, and he picked up a glass of cocktail beside him, taking a light sip.

  "She never played by the rules, who knows" Xuan Mei saw Xu Mu Feng's distracted appearance and understood roughly that their teacher Xu was also a romantic.

  Just seeing his dispirited appearance, she inexplicably felt a few pangs of melancholy in her heart.
