35: Chapter 0035: A Very Clichéd Start 35: Chapter 0035: A Very Clichéd Start Ye Xunhuan had wanted to say, “Qin Muge, you’re talking nonsense, when the hell did I ever say these things?”
But upon seeing the endless tenderness and anticipation in Su Guyan’s autumnal eyes, he involuntarily swallowed back the words that had reached his lips!
Ye Xunhuan had never been a cruel person, especially towards won—he simply couldn’t harden his heart because he feared seeing the disappointed and helpless look in their eyes.
Of course, if it were an enemy, Ye Xunhuan would be an absolutely ruthless butcher, destroying beauty without a second thought or a trace of reluctance or compassion.
But was Su Guyan an enemy?
She was not.
On the contrary, Su Guyan had always been one of the people Ye Xunhuan cared about most in his heart—or to say she was a thorn in his side wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
It was just that this thorn was deeply embedded, rarely causing trouble or pain.
It hurt only when he heard others ntion her.
Now, seeing Su Guyan again, scenes from the past erged as if they had happened yesterday.
He wanted to refuse, yet he didn’t know how to.
Subsequently, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but sigh softly, and then he nodded his head.
In the end, he couldn’t bear to refuse Su Guyan.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan nod, an unprecedented excitent appeared on Su Guyan’s flawless face.
At this mont, Su Guyan was like a little girl who had received her most beloved toy, overjoyed beyond expectation.
Qin Muge witnessed this scene, and his mind filled with wonder.
Could it be that Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan really knew each other?
“In the coming days, I hope for Mr.
Ye’s care,” Su Guyan said as she politely extended her slender, fair right hand.
Upon seeing this, Qin Muge’s eyes widened in astonishnt.
It was unprecedented for Su Guyan to initiate a handshake with a man.
In Qin Muge’s mory, it was usually others who actively shook hands with Su Guyan, and few could prompt her to offer her hand politely.
But now, she was extending her hand to shake with Ye Xunhuan…
If this got out, who knows how many people would be envious!
To have Su Guyan proactively extend her hand for a polite handshake ant she acknowledged you, and anyone who could prompt Su Guyan to do so was surely a major player.
But what about Ye Xunhuan?
He had actually prompted Su Guyan to extend her hand.
What was more shocking to Qin Muge was that Ye Xunhuan seed quite reluctant.
After their hands clasped together, Ye Xunhuan imdiately wanted to withdraw his hand, but Su Guyan held on tightly, seemingly very unwilling to let go and lingering.
It was as if by holding Ye Xunhuan’s hand, she possessed the whole world.
Su Guyan was longing, but ultimately, Ye Xunhuan managed to pull his hand back.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan withdraw his hand, a flash of sorrow crossed Su Guyan’s face.
But then, rembering that she would see Ye Xunhuan in the coming days, she ca to terms with it, and her smile grew thicker.
Then, Su Guyan looked at Qin Muge and said, “President Qin, it’s almost noon.
I don’t know if you have ti, but may I invite you to lunch?”
“Of course, I have ti,” Qin Muge imdiately replied.
“I’m just afraid Miss Su won’t have the ti!”
Having the chance to have a al with Su Guyan naturally delighted Qin Muge, especially since the Huangtu Group’s project still needed Su Guyan’s investnt.
Therefore, whenever there was an opportunity to foster a good relationship with Su Guyan, Qin Muge generally wouldn’t refuse.
“How about we have sothing to eat at this hotel’s restaurant?”
“Of course, no problem!”
Afterward, Su Guyan, Ye Xunhuan, and Qin Muge left the Starbucks and went directly to the restaurant inside the hotel.
Su Guyan didn’t choose the romantic Western-style restaurant but opted for a Chinese one instead.
Once seated, Su Guyan imdiately ordered a dish of chopped chili fish head and couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xunhuan.
In her mory, chopped chili fish head was Ye Xunhuan’s favorite dish, with no equals; whenever they went out to eat, Ye Xunhuan would almost always order it.
As for herself, she wasn’t very fond of it because it was too spicy for her to handle.
But as long as she was eating with Ye Xunhuan, even if she didn’t like it, she found joy and happiness in the al.
Because he liked it, she would learn to try and to like it too.
When Ye Xunhuan saw Su Guyan ordering the chopped chili fish head, a complex emotion flashed across his calm face.
So many years had passed, and she still hadn’t forgotten his favorite dish.
But as ti went by, even if that dish remained, was the person who used to share it with him still there?
She was there, but everything else had changed, and the sa feeling from back then could no longer be found!
Subsequently, Su Guyan ordered several other dishes, nearly all of which were Ye Xunhuan’s favorites.
At the dinner table, Ye Xunhuan hardly spoke, it was mostly Qin Muge and Su Guyan talking, but Su Guyan would occasionally glance at Ye Xunhuan as if she was afraid that sothing she said might anger him.
Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, was engrossed in his al, paying no mind to Su Guyan’s gaze.
The al ended with an atmosphere that was compatible, if not exactly harmonious, but at least it wasn’t oppressive.
After the al, Su Guyan turned to Qin Muge and said, “Miss Qin, I was thinking of taking a walk outside, I don’t know if Mr.
Ye…”
“Of course, there’s no problem, he isn’t busy anyway!” Qin Muge cut Su Guyan off before she could finish her sentence, and then turned to look at Ye Xunhuan, “Right?”
Bitterness filled Ye Xunhuan’s face.
Would it even make a difference if he resisted?
Helplessly, Ye Xunhuan simply nodded.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan nod, Qin Muge breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly, she was truly afraid that Ye Xunhuan, that jerk, would be difficult at this mont and they would all end up embarrassed.
Afterward, Qin Muge chatted idly with Su Guyan for a few monts before excusing herself to leave.
But before leaving, Qin Muge reminded Ye Xunhuan to accompany Su Guyan well, to enjoy themselves looking around, and then she left.
Once Qin Muge had gone, the atmosphere imdiately grew heavier.
Su Guyan was no longer the lively talker she was before, and she seed more like a shy girl in love, head bowed, hands tightly clasped together, appearing extrely nervous and uneasy.
At that mont, Su Guyan had a thousand words she wanted to share with Ye Xunhuan, yet she didn’t know how to begin and could only hang her head in silence!
Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, wore a usual expression, neither joyful nor sorrowful, his calmness reaching an extre.
After a while, unable to bear the oppressive and sowhat eerie silence any longer, Su Guyan said, “It’s been a long ti, how have you been these years?”
