He’s As Dazzling As The Stars - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Meeting Current Lover and Past Lover

Xia Xingchen did not think she would meet him in the golf court.

Moreover, both of them only had a distance of twenty meters between each other.

If she had not seen it wrongly, beside him was Xu Yan.

Xia Xingchen’s back leaned against Yu Zenan’s chest. She was focused on hitting the golf ball earlier on but now, she felt strangely guilty.

Especially when she unknowingly met his icy cold gaze, her heart thumped ‘dong dong’ like a drum.

“Erm…” Xia Xingchen hesitantly spoke and wanted to take her hand off his grip. “How about… we do something else and not play golf anymore?”

Yu Zenan narrowed his gaze and lowered his head to glance at her. He then turned towards the mighty row of people beside him.

He had a displeased look. “Since he appeared, your heart seemed to fly towards him. Is there even someone like you? Am I that charmless?”

“You are spouting nonsense again. When did I do that?”

“You didn’t?” Yu Zenan harrumphed and his eyes made a gesture in front of her. “You almost bore through a hole in him.”

“Who said I’m looking at him? I’m not looking at him!” Xia Xingchen denied it to the end.

“Then, who are you looking at?” He raised his brows and clearly did not believe her.

Xia Xingchen pursed her lips and her chin raised up. “I’m looking at him. Do you see him? The one standing beside that foreigner who is busy translating.”

“Are you kidding me?”

“He is my first love.” Xia Xingchen pushed the golf club forward and shyly said, “But it had been years since we broke up, and months from now, he is going to become my brother-in-law.”

“…” Yu Zenan shot her a look of pity. “How sad.”

“Don’t gloat over my sadness!”

“Hey! He still seems quite interested in you.” Yu Zenan stood there and tilted his body towards her. “Look, once I come closer to you, his gaze will float here.”

“…” Xia Xingchen instinctively looked at Xu Yan and met his gaze. She momentarily froze before smiling at him.

That was really strange.

The amount of time since they last met was clearly not long ago but… now, the regret in her heart towards him decreased significantly.

Instead…

Her gaze instinctively slid past a certain person.

He sat in the rest area and tilted his body to the side while talking to Mr. Mayn. His body was straight and tall. Under the public’s eyes, that feeling of nobility and oppression could be felt even from far away.

He seemed to realize that her gaze on her, so he turned his head towards her and gave her a cold and clear gaze.

Xia Xingchen’s heart skipped a beat and immediately turned her head away.

For a long time, her heartbeat was irregular.

“Do you want me to help you test his heart for you?” Yu Zenan suddenly asked.

“What?” She did not understand. ‘Test whose heart?’

Yu Zenan’s long arm reached out and circled around her waist to envelop her tightly.

The air was filled with strong male pheromones that it startled Xia Xingchen. When she realized she was in the arms of this man, her face flushed red.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

“Don’t move!” Yu Zenan smiled. “Ay, do you know what expression your first love is having now?”

“…”

“It’s so dark that it is slowly turning to coal! But… it’s strange that the President does not look happy too!”

Xia Xingchen bit down on her lips and pushed him away with a red face. “You are playing dirty!”

Yu Zenan smiled as he shouted that he was wronged. “I’m doing this to help you. Now, you know that your first love still misses you!”

“You are helping me? I think you are just trying to take advantage of me!” Xia Xingchen angrily took the golf club and wanted to hit him.

Bai Yeqing would probably mistake Yu Zenan and her, right? But… actually, whoever she was intimate with was none of his business.

He had to deal with a ton of problems every day, so how could he have the time and effort to deal with such trivialities?

Yu Zenan exaggeratingly mourned and ran away. “I didn’t think that your touch was comfortable and you have a good figure.”

“You still dare to say!” Xia Xingchen’s face was bright red.

Yu Zenan turned around and held her hand that was holding the golf club. And all this while, he was happily looking at her angry and flustered look. “Don’t be angry. If you want, I can let you hug me back. Actually, my touch is quite comfortable too, so how about you try and touch me?”

He playfully grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. Xia Xingchen was really furious that she punched his chest in embarrassment and glared at him. “Who wants to touch you. I’m not as shameless as you.”

“Hahaha~”

…

Yu Zenan’s bright and happy laughter reached the other side, past the twenty meters.

Leng Fei noticed that the President’s face seemed to get even uglier over time. Especially after Mr. Mayn proceeded to play golf, the air around him seemed chilly as he sat there.

“Your excellency, the person together with Miss Xia… seemed to be Vice-President Yu’s younger brother.”

“Hmm.” He had recognized him long ago. Although Yu Zenan had just returned to the country, he could still recognize him with just a look.

“How did he and Miss Xia get so close? I suspect that he knows how you are associated with Miss Xia hence he purposely got closer to her.”

“…” Bai Yeqing kept silent and his thin lips were pressed tightly together. He could clearly hear their happy laughter, but he never spared them a look again.

At the side, Leng Fei was totally clueless about what his excellency actions meant.

………….

After a long time, Xia Xingchen got tired and proceeded to the washroom. As she passed by Bai Yeqing, she could feel Xu Yan’s gaze following her.

But Bai Yeqing…

Treated her like air.

Xia Xingchen ignored the disappointment in her heart and walked towards the washroom.

After she washed her hands, she walked out of the washroom. She had her head lowered and unexpectedly bumped into a sturdy chest.

She froze.

She raised her head and met Xu Yan’s deep gaze.

“Why are you here?” Xia Xingchen smiled and pointed at the light on the wall. “This is the women’s toilet.”

“I… was actually waiting for you.”

“Waiting for me?”

Xu Yan nodded his head and looked at her with a complicated expression. “Is he your boyfriend? Was he the one who took you away when you were drunk last time, too?”

She could clearly see the desolate look on his face.

She still had an unfathomable feeling in her heart as first love was always the purest.

So, she told a lie and nodded her head. “Yes, I hadn’t had the time to introduce him to all of you yet.”

“Oh…” His voice turned deeper and his gaze was deep. He stood silent for a while after that.

The scene became strangely awkward. Xia Xingchen spoke up to break such an atmosphere and smiled. “If there is nothing, I… will leave first.”

With that, she turned her body and brushed past him. But after having taken one step, her slender wrist was suddenly pulled back.

Xia Xingchen froze but came back to her senses and instinctively struggled away. Xu Yan held her wrist and could not help but strengthen his grip.
