Ming Ansheng fell silent, lost in his train of thoughts.

Su Yue curled her lips into a smile. “I know. You love chasing after young and innocent girls.”

She passed the drink to Ming Ansheng.

Ming Ansheng looked at Su Yue with a bewildered expression. She had a bright smile on her pretty face and it lit up his entire world.

He received the glass. “Yeah, but I only have eyes for you.”

Su Yue smiled before bowing her head. Her smile seemed rather bitter.

No matter how nice and gentle he was to her, she couldn’t forget the fact that he had once loved Meiduo. Meiduo had occupied a place in his heart in the past.

Although she might not be as important as her.

‘Meiduo is better than you in another aspect...’

Ming Zhongsheng’s taunts rang in Su Yue’s ears once more. It made her uneasy and worried.

What did that old man mean by that?

Was he simply scaring her off by spinning lies? He should try to make her give up on her own accord.

Ming Ansheng was also in a deep reverie as both of them stood in silence.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Su Yue.”

Bai Jing’s voice jolted her back to reality as she approached them.

Su Yue smiled at her. “You must be bored.”

Bai Jing slightly shook her head. “Nope.”

Su Yue replied, “Actually, this event is boring and wasn’t as fun as I’ve imagined.”

All these people were much older than her, and she couldn’t understand any of their conversations.

Bai Jing grinned. “Most are professors, so naturally, they would discuss academic stuff.”

She turned towards Ming Ansheng and nodded.

Ming Ansheng nodded as well.

Su Yue pouted and grumbled, “But I can’t understand and I don’t wish to.”

She wasn’t used to putting up a false pretense especially to people or topics she was uninterested in.

Ming Ansheng knew that she had suffered in silence because of him. His heart was aching every time he was reminded of the tea leaves he found on the floor in his apartment.

All he wanted was to protect her and shelter her from harm.

But things didn’t go his way.

Su Yue raised her head and looked at Ming Ansheng. “Uncle Ming, what time are you leaving?”

Ming Ansheng glanced at his watch before replying, “I reckon it will still take a while. I have to give out a speech later.”

It surprised Su Yue. “You have a speech later.”

Ming Ansheng nodded and replied, “The principal invited me, so I had to.”

He was a brilliant young businessman. He was indeed born in a wealthy family. Besides that, he also achieved outstanding results in school as well.

It was Yizhong’s 100th anniversary, so how could they miss out on such an important representative from their alumni?

Su Yue looked curious as she asked, “What is your topic?”

An enigmatic smile formed on Ming Ansheng’s lips. “You’ll know later.”

He paused before continuing. “Your third brother is giving a speech too.”

“Really?” Su Yue frowned. “Why wasn’t I aware?”

Third sister-in-law mentioned nothing to her.

Ming Ansheng chuckled. “Then continue pretending you didn’t know.”

Bai Jing’s presence was overlooked.

Ming Ansheng fixed his eyes on Su Yue as though his entire world revolved around her.

Bai Jing’s eyes blazed with jealousy.

“Let’s go look for them.” Ming Ansheng gestured at Yan Rusheng and the rest.

Su Yue nodded. “Mm.”

She then grabbed Bai Jing’s hand. “Let’s go.”
