Ye Yun’s appearance stunned all the boys and girls present, and the boys all cast envious glances at Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen felt both proud and uneasy, seeing so many eyes indiscriminately falling on Ye Yun. He didn’t know why, but he just didn’t want so many n looking at Ye Yun beside him.
"How is it? Did Sister Yun make you proud today?" Ye Yun wrapped her arm around Zhang Beichen’s, and because the venue was a bit noisy, she leaned into his ear and whispered.
A unique feminine fragrance wafted over, making Zhang Beichen’s heart flutter, and his ears quietly turned red.
Ye Yun’s appearance was like finding a dazzling diamond among a pile of ordinary stones, constantly drawing the n’s gazes. So only dared to sneak a peek, while others, full of confidence, approached with drinks to greet her.
Watching these familiar male classmates, Zhang Beichen felt uncomfortable, but seeing Ye Yun reject them one by one made him happy again.
"So many people invited for a drink, why don’t you?" Ye Yun smiled at him.
Feeling bewitched, Zhang Beichen really took two glasses of wine from a servant’s tray. When the wine entered his throat, he felt as if his heart was on fire.
At this point, the music in the hall began, and he smiled slightly at Ye Yun: "Beautiful lady, may I invite you for a dance?"
Ye Yun’s heart fluttered slightly, and she placed her hand on his.
The two were perfectly matched, moving and turning as if they were two bright pearls on the dance floor. At that mont, their eyes held no one else. Ye Yun even felt the skin touched by Zhang Beichen’s hand on her back growing warm, but fortunately, there was a tassel in the way, and the hall’s lighting was dim enough to spare her any embarrassnt.
At that mont, she was even a bit ashad because she almost fell for her future niece’s fiancé.
After the dance, many n ca to invite her, but they were all turned away by Zhang Beichen.
Ye Yun laughed again: "You were saying before why I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend, and now you’ve blocked all my suitors."
Zhang Beichen stared into her eyes, his gaze deep: "None of these people deserve you."
Ye Yun was taken aback and hurriedly turned her head away, picking up another glass of wine to hide her emotions.
In the car on the way back, she felt intoxicated. Otherwise, why didn’t she refuse when Zhang Beichen stopped midway and kissed her?
Zhang Beichen’s kiss was still inexperienced, yet Ye Yun felt herself becoming imrsed, and then suddenly, as if awakening, she pushed away the man beside her.
"No, we can’t do this." She forced herself to stay calm, looking out the window.
"Why not?" Zhang Beichen’s eyes burned as they fixed on her, "I know you feel it too."
"But you are Xiao Shu’s fiancé."
"That’s just a joke among adults."
"But you like Xiao Shu."
"I don’t." Zhang Beichen unbuckled Ye Yun’s seatbelt and forced her to look at him. "I misunderstood before because of the adults’ jokes. I thought it was affection, but only today did I realize what real affection is."
"Still, it’s not right." Ye Yun broke away from him and tried to open the door, only to find it was locked. "Let out."
"No, you’ll run away as soon as I open it. I’m not doing that until we clear this up." Zhang Beichen at this point seed nothing like a nineteen-year-old boy but a man determined to win over the woman he loves.
"Our generations aren’t the sa."
"We’re not relatives, so what does that matter?"
"But I’m older than you."
"Only by two years, so what? They say if a woman is three years older, it’s like holding a golden brick. I finally understand the truth in that saying now. Xiao Yun, would you be my girlfriend?"
Ye Yun noticed that Zhang Beichen’s way of addressing her had changed; he used to call her Sister Yun.
"Why aren’t you speaking? I know you have feelings for . Earlier, when I kissed you, you didn’t refuse." Zhang Beichen moved closer, his breath brushing her face.
His bluntness made Ye Yun blush, stamring: "I...I was just drunk."
"Who are you fooling, a child?!" Zhang Beichen chuckled lightly, turning her head back and kissing her deeply.
At first, Ye Yun resisted, but with his improved techniques, she soon found it hard to hold her ground, lting under his advances like water.
A rain had fallen during the day, so the evening breeze in the hot sumr brought a slight chill. Leaning against the car hood in Zhang Beichen’s embrace, Ye Yun frowned: "Aren’t we wronging Xiao Shu by doing this?"
"Don’t overthink it," Zhang Beichen played with the tassel on her back. "What’s wrong about it? It’s not like I confird a relationship with Xiao Shu."
"But wouldn’t it be strange? The adults at ho won’t agree."
"No, they definitely will."
"Why?"
"Why do you think the adults joked about that in the first place? Wasn’t it to solidify cooperation through marriage? I’m the son of the Zhang Family, and you’re the daughter of the Ye Family, isn’t that perfect?"
"But I’m not the heir to the Ye Group." Ye Yun said with self-mockery.
"So what? To , you’re a hundred, a thousand tis better than Ye Shu. Who else at your age could create such a big company? My parents would be overjoyed to have such an outstanding daughter-in-law."
"Really?"
"Really."
Ye Yun was not unmoved; Zhang Beichen truly was a great person, and his previous life had shown how well he treated Ye Shu.
Thinking of his previous marriage with Ye Shu was a bit unsettling, but other than that, she couldn’t find another man who loved her as intensely and wouldn’t stray.
She knew it was sowhat despicable to steal her niece’s future husband, but it wasn’t voluntary; Zhang Beichen’s pursuit was just too overwhelming.
As Zhang Beichen said, his previous pursuit of Ye Shu might have been misled by the elders’ words, as their interactions in the past life showed.
How could a dominant yet slightly roguish man like him be so ceremoniously distant with the woman he adored? At least, she’d never seen Zhang Beichen and Ye Shu’s fervent love in the past life.
On the contrary, in this life, he was passionately fiery towards her, so she wasn’t the destroyer of their marriage; she simply helped Beichen find his true love.
Without Beichen, Xiao Shu would also find her true love in the future, wouldn’t that be perfect for everyone?
She just regretted now, why in the previous life did she stay so distant from Beichen; if they’d interacted earlier, would they have been together back then?
