When Ji Yu received a call from Yuan Shenghe, he was waiting for Yan Xunxue in a clothing studio.

"I'm with Yan Xunxue now. She's also going to a cocktail party and won't be here until around 6:30. You go first. I'll go in with her and then find you."

He looked at the time. Girls take a lot of time to put on makeup and dress up, so he might not be able to catch up.

"Okay, wait a moment." Yuan Shenghe's voice on the other end was a bit noisy.

As he finished speaking, the chaotic background noise gradually disappeared.

"What's going on over there?" Ji Yu heard the horn.

Yuan Shenghe's voice sounded again, "There was a car accident ahead, someone rear-ended someone, the road is blocked, I don't think I'll be able to catch up with you guys for much longer."

The evening rush hour in big cities is the most terrifying, and now there has been a car accident, which is probably adding insult to injury.

"Then we'll meet at the hotel entrance, if we arrive at about the same time."

"Okay, call me when you get there."

Ji Yu hung up the phone after chatting, but Yuan Shenghe almost never hung up on him and always asked him to do so first.

One time he forgot to hang up, and when he realized it, it was already an hour later.

"You and Yuan Shenghe have a really good relationship." A girl's voice with a hint of envy suddenly came from behind.

Ji Yu turned around and saw Yan Xunxue wearing a white strapless dress. Just like her name, the beautiful dress made her skin look whiter than snow, gentle and charming.

"Maybe it's because we're still in the honeymoon period. He still likes me very much now."

Yan Xunxue shook her head and said, "Some people's feelings will fade over time, but there are always some people whose feelings are sincere and loyal. If they change one day in the future, there must be a reason."

The smile on Ji Yu's face faded a little, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

Did Yan Xunxue know something? Otherwise, why would she say that?

Yan Xunxue suddenly added: "I think Yuan Shenghe is this kind of person. I can see that he has a very passionate feeling for you. No matter what time, you will always be the first in his heart."

"Thank you," Ji Yu paused, "I also hope you can find someone who treats you like this in the future."

Yan Xunxue smiled without comment.

In the future... there probably won't be any more.

While she was putting on makeup, Ji Yu secretly observed her but could not see anything.

He didn't meet Yan Xunxue very often.

Sometimes she looks cheerful, but sometimes she seems to be worried.

Just like now, seemingly hidden under a calm appearance, but in fact never let go.

-

Royal Hotel.

When Ji Yu and Yan Xunxue arrived, it was already past half past six.

The sun went down, leaving only a little light in the sky, and night began to fall.

The lights in the hotel are particularly bright in the dark, like a shining morning star.

In the dim light, Ji Yu found Yuan Shenghe, who was protected by bodyguards on both sides.

The man's reflection was stretched extremely long by the lights of the hotel. He stood at the bottom of the stairs with one hand in his pocket. His face was heavily shadowed. He turned around only to look over when he heard footsteps.

Light shone through his profile, half bright and half dark, and his eyes were extremely deep, and ordinary people hardly dared to look into his eyes.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Ji Yu jumped in front of him in three or two steps, not noticing that Yan Xunxue behind him had already stopped.

Yuan Shenghe reached out his hand before he came over and just caught his forward leaning upper body.

"Slow down, I just arrived too." Yuan Shenghe's voice was filled with a hint of charm.

"How was your afternoon in the lab?"

"Not bad. The lab is quite big. Cheng Mo is very professional. He even made someone cry." Ji Yu hooked his arm and looked up at him slightly.

Yuan Shenghe smiled and said, "What he hates most when he is working is other people's unprofessional behavior."

"I noticed that, but he actually performed quite well today, and he seemed quite serious..."

Yan Xunxue stood not far away, watching the two of them cuddling intimately, and suddenly a distant scene emerged in her mind.

Whenever she was late for get out of class, even for a minute, when she walked out slowly, she could always see that handsome and tall figure under the wall of the school gate.

The boy always turns around when she just appears, his eyes accurately capture her figure, and his warm eyes immediately burst into bright light.

Before she could get close, the other person walked towards her in the light of the setting sun.

When she was in a daze, he would reach out his finger and tap her forehead.

"It seems like Brother has reached a new level of handsomeness today. Xiaojiu is stunned again."

She spoke in a shameless tone and narcissistic words, then laughed freely and carefreely. Everyone envied her for having a boyfriend who was so devoted to her.

She would be particularly happy to hear these words, because she also felt that she was very lucky to meet someone she truly loved in this life.

Although they grew up slowly with the passage of time, the boy became more and more calm. To the outside world, he put on a mask and became the child of other people's family in everyone's eyes. But only when facing her, he remained consistent and his original intention remained unchanged.

He will show his mature side and also his childish side.

For example, he would suddenly rush to her and say in a proud tone:

"Xiaojiu, I got another project today. Isn't that awesome?"

The corners of Yan Xunxue's mouth curved up involuntarily.

"Ms. Yan."

A voice shattered her illusion and instantly made her fall back to the ground from her illusory height.

Yan Xunxue's face turned pale for a moment, but it was hard to see clearly in the dim street light.

Neither Ji Yu nor Yuan Shenghe saw it.

"It's quite cold outside, let's go in first."

"Okay." Yan Xunxue tried hard to curl the corners of her mouth.

Once you enter the hotel, the cold night air is isolated from the outside.

Led by the hotel waiter, they came to the second floor where the cocktail party was located.

This is a high-end business cocktail party. Bosses usually bring their favorite juniors to attend. Many deals are concluded while chatting and laughing.

The person who came to the Yan family was Yan Xunxue’s father.

Seeing his daughter coming with Ji Yu, the strict father was not surprised and even praised Ji Yu.

"Mr. Ji is really a young and promising man. Thank you for standing up for Xiaoxue for what happened some time ago."

Ji Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, you are too polite. Xiaoxue and I are friends now, and it is natural for friends to help each other."

The strict father was very happy to hear this, and he praised Yuan Shenghe again: "Mr. Yuan's vision is as good as ever."

Yuan Shenghe raised his lips, happier than hearing others praise him, "No, I'm just lucky."

After hearing this, the strict father couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This was not the first or second time that he had dealt with Yuan Shenghe. Countless people had praised him in the past, but he had never seen him express such obvious emotions.

Many people flattered him on the surface, but secretly thought that Yuan Shenghe was just playing around.

When he mentioned his little lover Ji Yu in private, his words were quite contemptuous.

Some people cannot control their own lower body and always think that others are the same as themselves.
