Chapter 262: The One I Love
"It hurts, it really hurts!"
"So, this means I'm not dreaming?"
"No... no!" The chubby guy nodded. He really wished this dream would never end. Even if it was fake, at least he had flaunted himself, right?
Taking a beating today was all for the sake of getting on TV and becoming famous.
"You sure are bold!" Xiao Tianyu remarked meaningfully.
Since you dared to impersonate Celestial Universe's CEO, perhaps we can make this dream come true. Doesn't everyone outside want to know who the CEO of Qingcheng International is? Let's give them what they want.
"Of course, I'm the real CEO of Celestial Universe!" The chubby guy declared confidently, patting Xiao Tianyu's shoulder boastfully, "Brother, you just saved my life, from now on at Qingcheng International, you're my personal bodyguard. Don't worry, you'll never suffer any loss!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu didn't respond, instead he glanced at Gao Shaoyang, then turned and left.
Gao Shaoyang naturally understood Xiao Tianyu's intentions; otherwise, all those years working under Xiao Tianyu would have been for nothing.
So, Gao Shaoyang stepped towards the chubby guy, showing a respectful demeanor, and said with a smile, "CEO, please follow me back to Celestial Universe Headquarters!"
"You guys aren't planning to murder me, are you?" The chubby guy looked at Gao Shaoyang in terror. He knew precisely what kind of person he was, and heading to Qingcheng International now naturally left him feeling uneasy.
"CEO, what a joke!" Gao Shaoyang smiled and said, actually thinking that if Qingcheng International wanted someone dead, they wouldn't need to resort to murder.
Since it was acting, Gao Shaoyang naturally accompanied Xiao Tianyu in pulling off the act perfectly.
...
Scene change.
Hanhai International Hotel.
At this moment, a white Ferrari parked at the entrance of Hanhai, the door opened, and a woman in a light red long dress, carrying an LV limited edition handbag, stepped down in high heels.
Her hair was curled and pinned on her head, adorned with ruby earrings that were extremely eye-catching, perfectly complementing her outstanding aura.
The moment she stepped out of the car, she instantly became the most eye-catching presence, causing all other women around her to fade into the background.
This woman could only be Ye Qingcheng.
Then, Ye Qingcheng threw the keys to the security guard in charge of parking, and walked towards the entrance of Hanhai in high heels. As she approached the automated revolving door, Ye Qingcheng stepped inside.
A beautiful waitress greeted her with a smile, "Do you have a reservation, miss?"
"Box fifteen," Ye Qingcheng said calmly.
"Alright, please follow me!"
Click, click, click~
The waitress led Ye Qingcheng in high heels to the elevator, taking her to the third floor, quickly bringing Ye Qingcheng to box fifteen.
Ye Qingcheng took off her sunglasses, glancing around the room.
This glance made her heart suddenly tremble. Is it really Yi Tianxing?
Although it has been three years apart, Ye Qingcheng's mind has been filled with this face day and night, how could she forget it? Even though Yi Tianxing was a bit more mature than three years ago, his features hadn't changed, and he had even become more charismatic.
"Qingcheng!" Yi Tianxing put down the teacup in his hand, stood up like a gentleman to pull Ye Qingcheng's chair open, and Ye Qingcheng smiled slightly, naturally sitting down.
Over the past three years, Ye Qingcheng had barely smiled. Now with a smile reappearing, it was evident the place Yi Tianxing held in her heart.
"Over the past three years, you haven't changed!" Ye Qingcheng gazed at him with her beautiful eyes and said gently.
Back in college, whenever they gathered, Yi Tianxing would always instinctively pull out her chair.
"You have changed!" Yi Tianxing said calmly.
This statement seemed to have other meanings, but Ye Qingcheng didn't pick up on it. She said, "Indeed I have changed, from being a student to becoming the CEO of Qingcheng International today!"
After speaking, Ye Qingcheng curiously asked, "And you?"
Yi Tianxing seemed to deliberately change the subject, "Are you still fond of Blue Mountain coffee?"
"Yes!" Ye Qingcheng nodded.
Yi Tianxing continued, "Waiter, a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, please!"
"Certainly, please hold on a moment!" The waiter replied with a smile, then left the box.
A hint of a cold smile flashed across Yi Tianxing's face, unnoticed by Ye Qingcheng, as she asked, "These years, have you been well abroad?"
"Not well!" Yi Tianxing shook his head, grabbing Ye Qingcheng's right hand on the table and continued, "Thinking of you day and night, how about you?"
"Yes!" Ye Qingcheng nodded, trying to withdraw her hands from Yi Tianxing's grip, but saw him hold tighter, bringing a blush to her cheeks.
Still pretending, are you? Thinking of me day and night yet getting married? Yi Tianxing sneered inwardly but didn't show it on his face.
He said, "During our two years of dating in college, we never did anything inappropriate. Meeting again today, I won't let you down. I'll spend my life making up for the three years I've owed you!"
After speaking, Yi Tianxing stood up, came beside Ye Qingcheng, gently lifting her chin with his fingers, Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes gazed at him, her blush becoming even more prominent, yet she didn't resist.
At the same time, Ye Qingcheng's breath became a bit rapid.
"Qingcheng, you're truly beautiful!" His voice was as soft as silk whispering in Ye Qingcheng's ear, causing her heart to tremble.
Then, Yi Tianxing was seen closing his eyes, his red lips inching closer, Ye Qingcheng's pupils widened in fear as she looked at him.
As Yi Tianxing's red lips were about to touch hers, Ye Qingcheng suddenly snapped back, pushing Yi Tianxing away, "Tianxing, no!"
Ye Qingcheng herself didn't know why, at the moment Yi Tianxing was about to kiss her, she didn't have that feeling she once had for him.
Even feeling like the events of three years ago were just a page in a thick book, one that seemed to have been turned over.
This very feeling made her instinctively stop Yi Tianxing's advance.
Knock, knock, knock~
At this moment, a knocking sound emerged.
"Come in!" Ye Qingcheng promptly said, while suppressing her inner panic.
Bam~
The door opened, a waitress entered the room with a cup of coffee, and came in front of Ye Qingcheng, "Miss, your coffee, please enjoy!"
Upon saying this, the waitress placed the Blue Mountain coffee in front of Ye Qingcheng, who said coolly, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" The waitress gave a slight bow and left the box, shutting the door behind her with a push, bam~.
Yi Tianxing's deep eyes gazed at Ye Qingcheng and said, "Qingcheng, you've changed!"
"I haven't!" Ye Qingcheng felt somewhat panicked, sipping the coffee to calm her nerves.
"Why just now..."
"Can you give me a moment to prepare?"
"It's been three years of preparing already!"
"I..."
"Do you have someone else you love?"
At these words, Ye Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat, images of Xiao Tianyu rushed unbidden to her mind. From checking into a hotel to getting married, she thought it all over again. He's just a passerby in my life with no relation, even if there is a marriage, it's merely for money.
Time and again, Ye Qingcheng repeatedly reminded herself that she and Xiao Tianyu had nothing to do with each other; that he's just a rogue, a hooligan, a good-for-nothing without any ambition.
Disliking someone naturally blinds you to their merits, leaving only the disadvantages visible. Currently, Ye Qingcheng was in such a state.
Four chapters a day, although I dare not say Old Nine is fast, he's definitely not slow. Alas... it's hard for Old Nine, even four chapters took him a whole day, kneeling for your understanding!!
