Confessing (1)
Nothing unexpected happened at the end of the charity gala. Everything was normal except for Xiao Qishen, who had always been around Shan Yatong all night.
During the party, Xiao Chengyu didn’t come to bother him. Perhaps it was because he had a Xiao Qishen around him, or perhaps it was because he had ruined his plan and didn’t want to look at him.
When he left the hotel door, Shan Yatong rubbed his forehead. He flew back in the morning and even attended a show in the afternoon. Then, he hurriedly put on a suit to attend the charity gala. He looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already early in the morning. He looked at the flamboyant clothes around him and recalled the time when Xiao Chengyu had brought him to his friend’s party when he had studied abroad in his previous life. At that time, he was like an ugly duckling who had accidentally broken into the swans. Although he appeared indifferent on the surface, no one could tell that he was cautious in his heart.
A claw was placed on his shoulder, and a bright smile appeared in front of him. “Yatong, I’ll take you home.” At the same time, he threw a sharp look at Yang Jun who wanted to get closer. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that Xie Xun was a good idea to stall Lu Fan.
Shan Yatong’s gaze landed on his shoulder and then on Xiao Qishen’s dazzling smile. He slowly withdrew his gaze. “Let’s go.”
When he heard that Shan Yatong didn’t refuse, Xiao Qishen immediately said, “Wait a minute. I’ll go drive it and come right away.” His expression was like he was afraid that Shan Yatong would be impatient and leave first. When Shan Yatong saw him like this, he couldn’t help but smile and nod.
Xiao Chengyu stood in a corner and looked at Xiao Qishen’s face, which was filled with the intention to curry favor with that youth. He suddenly remembered that he had been so nervous before, and that person had also smiled at him. Later, he inflicted harm on him. In the end, he couldn’t return to the past. Why had he reached that point? What had made him abandon his deep affection and choose those rich and powerful people?
Xiao Chengyu, I don’t know you and I am no longer Jing Muyan.
Xiao Chengyu, there aren’t medicines for regret in this world. I can’t forgive you for what you did.
At that time, when he said those words, the tone of his voice was extremely cold and indifferent.
That’s right, how could there be a medicine for regret in this world? If he had the chance to choose again, he wouldn’t do that. He wouldn’t let a man die. Why? Why did he come to this point? He walked step by step towards the youth in white; his face was in a trance that even he wasn’t aware of.
“You won’t be able to go that far, right? You won’t even have the chance to regret it…” The young man’s smile didn’t change, but the temperature in his eyes gradually turned cold. The way he looked at him like that was like looking at a passerby.
Shan Yatong didn’t mistake Xiao Chengyu’s eyes for that instant weakness. He remembered that many years ago, Xiao Chengyu had done the same thing as Xiao Qishen after the reception. He sneered, “President Xiao, long time no see.”
This sentence was like a curse that shattered everything. He had nothing to do with him, one was the President while the other was an artist.
Xiao Chengyu took a step back. What happened to him just now? How could he get close just because this person had the same aura as that person? He adjusted his expression. “Mr. Shan’s endorsement contract has been signed for two years. I think we will meet again soon.”
Shan Yatong’s eyes were beaming. Was he warning him or his boss? He neatly nodded his head and said elegantly, “Naturally, doing my job dutifully is my ethic as a professional.” After saying that, he unconsciously revealed the watch on his wrist, indicating that he wouldn’t forget to advertise the Xiao family’s product on such occasions.
“Mr. Shan is naturally a very good artist. Our company’s higher-ups are very satisfied with this,” Xiao Chengyu impassively said. ”I think Mr. Xiao should also be satisfied with the endorsement fee.”
“Yatong, let’s go.” A black sports car stopped in front of the two of them. Xiao Qishen stretched out his head to him. As if he had just discovered Xiao Chengyu, “Brother is here too. Why don’t we go together?”
“No need. Your sister-in-law is going back with me. And we have the driver to drive us.” Xiao Chengyu looked into Shan Yatong’s eyes and found that the young man beside him didn’t have any special expression on his face just because Xiao Qishen would drive for him. Shouldn’t he say that he was indeed an actor? How could he act so perfectly at a time like this? How could an orphan with no background not have a way to climb to this stage? Who was he trying to show his indifference to?
“Chengyu, you’re here.” A beauty dressed in a light-colored qipao walked over with a smile. She saw the person sitting in the car and said with a smile, “Zimo, if you have the time, go home and sit. Everyone at home misses you.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law. I will.” After that, he got out of the car and opened the door for Shan Yatong. After he got in, Xiao Qishen smiled at the two of them and said, “Brother, sister-in-law, we’ll go first. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” The woman looked at the car and saw that Xiao Chengyu’s face didn’t appear warm at all. The smile on her face gradually disappeared and she forced a smile. “It’s quite late now. Let’s go back.” Her heart ached slightly. He had insisted on marrying her back then, but now that he had reached this stage, she had to be the one looking for him.
