Chapter 316: Chapter 316: What’s her background? Chapter 316: Chapter 316: What’s her background? As he finished speaking, he saw Su Zixi stop in front of a Bentley car. A middle-aged man who looked like a butler opened the door for her and respectfully said, “Young Mistress, please.”
Yan Lingfeng’s expression became somewhat stiff. He had of course noticed the car earlier, but he had not associated it with Su Zixi at all.
Moreover, Young Mistress…
He took a deep breath, “She… what’s her background?”
Although he had been prodding Su Zixi for information just now, he hadn’t really taken her seriously, thinking she was just an ordinary young girl, even assuming she was a junior employee from Yun Xuefei’s studio, accompanying her to dinner.
Seeing the look of shock on Yan Lingfeng’s face brought joy to Yun Xuefei’s heart.
She said indifferently, “Her status is not something you’re entitled to inquire about.”
“…” Yan Lingfeng held back, “Could it be that she is the President’s daughter?”
He came from a family of scholars, and his friends all had some degree of influence. There were really not many people in Yanzhou City whose background was off-limits to him.
Yun Xuefei ignored him, pulling her coat tighter, ready to leave.
“Hey, considering I’ve waited so long,” Yan Lingfeng caught her with a sense of resignation, “at least give me a chance to see you off.”
Yun Xuefei frowned, thinking of an excuse to refuse him when she noticed a black car pulling up from the corner of her eye.
Her eyes lit up and she raised her chin, “My family’s driver has come to pick me up, you needn’t trouble yourself.”
Yan Lingfeng followed her nod and couldn’t help but hold his breath.
The car stopped in front of them, and then a tall figure got out, closed the door, and walked towards them.
He was dressed in a trench coat, looking tall and sharp, like an unsheathed blade, which due to his leanness, seemed all the more cutting, evoking an involuntary sense of distress.
Yun Xuefei stared at him, suddenly lost for words.
The man approached her with a warm smile, “I just got off work. I hope I’m not late, am I?”
Yun Xuefei shook her head almost instinctively.
“Let’s go.” He said, and very naturally took her into his arms, then turned to Yan Lingfeng, “I’m taking Xuefei with me, make yourself at home.”
Without another glance at Yan Lingfeng’s unsightly expression, he escorted Yun Xuefei back to the car.
Huo Yanzhao personally fastened her seatbelt, then walked around to the other side, got in the car, and started it.
Yun Xuefei remained silent, biting her lip. She noticed Yan Lingfeng still staring in their direction, unmoving, but soon the car turned away, and Yan Lingfeng disappeared from her sight.
It was then that she let out a sigh of relief and looked at the man beside her, “Why are you here?”
Huo Yanzhao paused before answering, “Madam Wu said you were having dinner here. I happened to have something to discuss with you, so I came to pick you up.”
“Hmm. What did you want to talk about?” Yun Xuefei tried to sound nonchalant.
“Who was that man just now?” Huo Yanzhao suddenly laughed hoarsely.
“I don’t have to explain myself to you, do I?” Hearing his somewhat frivolous tone, anger surged up inside Yun Xuefei.
“Indeed, you don’t have to.” He nodded self-deprecatingly, and after a long while, he suddenly blurted out, “It’s done.”
Yun Xuefei was momentarily bewildered, “What?”
“I mean… our paperwork is completed.” His tone remained calm, calm enough to be unsettling, “Legally, we no longer have any relationship.”
