Chapter 41: Why Are You Avoiding Me?_i
Translator: 549690339
Su Hongxing didn’t consider herself a timid woman, but at the first sight of this man, she suddenly felt a wave of timidity.
After sleeping in the hospital for a day, she took her dream as a warning.
If the scene in her dream came true, would she need to sleep with such a complete stranger?!
Su Hongxing couldn’t imagine such a scene, and subconsciously hid behind Ye Qilan.
Beichuan had always been a fan of beauty, and thus held no interest in an ordinary woman like Su Hongxing. However, it was his noticing Su Hongxing hiding behind Ye Qilan that sparked his curiosity and made him look at her twice.
Unable to see her clearly due to her position, he swiftly walked towards her and pulled Su Hongxing out from behind Ye Qilan.
“Why are you hiding from me?!” Beichuan scrutinized Su Hongxing from head to toe, every feature inspected meticulously.
Su Hongxing was very uncomfortable under Beichuan’s scrutiny.
Since she turned fifteen, due to overeating and idleness, she’d become increasingly plump. Xiao Ji once said, whether she was plump or skinny, he would still like her.
Nevertheless, she never thought of losing weight.
For all these years, besides Xiao Ji, there hadn’t been another man who looked at her with such blatant desire, making her feel exposed.
“I didn’t.” Su Hongxing subconsciously avoided Beichuan’s gaze.
Beichuan studied Su Hongxing thoughtfully, staunchly saying, “You did!”
This overweight woman’s face stiffened the moment she saw him. At that very moment, he thought he was seeing things, but now it was obvious, she was feeling guilty.
She barely even dared to hold eye contact with him, as if she’d done something wrong.
Ironically, he was certain that he was meeting this woman for the first time. “Alright, let’s go in.” Ye Qilan had caught notice of Su Hongxing’s evasive eyes. With his understanding of Su Hongxing, she was capable of handling many situations with equanimity and composure. However, her expression had changed and she deliberately avoided Beichuan at the mere sight of him. Did Su Hongxing and Beichuan know each other? But he had never heard Beichuan mention Su Hongxing before.
Su Hongxing rushed to enter first to avoid any further interaction with Beichuan. On seeing more men and women inside the room, she stopped in her tracks.
Previously, when Ye Qilan said he needed her company for a dinner, she assumed it was business-related.
Now, it seemed more like a private dinner party.
Ye Qilan purposefully stayed behind and asked Beichuan in a low voice, “Do you know Su Hongxing?”
It took a while for Beichuan to register. Su Hongxing was the overweight woman from earlier.
“Her name is Su Hongxing?” Beichuan’s expression changed when he looked at Ye Qilan, “No wonder you brought this woman to the dinner.”
Friends close to Ye Qilan knew of his special fondness – he adored cherry blossoms.
This private dining room named “Hongxing” was reserved by Ye Qilan.
So, the special treatment Ye Qilan was giving Su Hongxing had a reasonable explanation.
Both men, each with his own thoughts, entered the private dining room.
The women in the room were all beautiful. Su Hongxing didn’t like such gatherings but she wasn’t an inexperienced woman. She sat quietly next to Ye Qilan, playing the wallflower.
Everyone was surreptitiously eyeing her, her appearance sparking curiosity. She knew everyone found her ugly and felt she didn’t belong beside Ye Qilan. To be honest, she did not want to be there either..
