"Yao Zhixia!"

Ignoring the guests who came and went along the way, Xue Rin quickened his pace, trying to catch up with Yao Zhixia.

"Yao Zhixia!"

The panicked Yao Zhixia only cared about escaping, but he lost his way in the run, and ran and ran, and actually arrived at a remote open-air courtyard.

Xue Rin grabbed Yao Zhixia's arm and forced her to face herself.

"Yao Zhixia, don't you want to see me like that?"

Yao Zhixia was still silent, when she set foot on this island, her heart had been entangled and wandering, originally she just wanted to do her job well, but now, fate is still overwhelming.

"yes, how could a woman who could ruthlessly abandon me when I was lying in the intensive care room and my life and death were uncertain, how could she want to see me again?"

Whether it was two years ago or now, what Xue Rin hated most was Yao Zhixia's silence, he hated the feeling of not being able to see through her, which would only aggravate his sense of powerlessness and make him irrational.

"But I'm very curious, how could Yao Zhixia, who said that he was going to leave me two years ago, have the face to come to the opening ceremony of Qianxiang Group's hotel?" Xue Rin's tone was full of mockery.

"I'm just here to translate for my clients. ”

He had long expected that he would hear such hurtful words, but Yao Zhixia still opened his mouth calmly.

"Congratulations! You're really different without me, you've become a translator!"

Xue Rin's words pierced Yao Zhixia's heart like a thorn, she tried her best to break free from his confinement, she didn't want the two of them to torture each other like this, she didn't want to see Xue Rin like this.

"Mr. Xue, between us, it ended two years ago, don't talk about the past, don't forget it, let each other go, okay?"

Yao Zhixia raised his eyes to look at Xue Rin, his eyes were full of indifference, but this reaction became the biggest insult in Xue Rin's eyes.

What sins he has suffered in the past two years, only he knows, whether it is love or hate, he can only bear it by himself, he thought that seeing her again would give him an outlet for catharsis, but Yao Zhixia's resolute attitude did not give him the slightest breath, and the pain accumulated in his heart gushed out like a volcano.

"Okay, it's good, I didn't expect that two years can really change a person, Yao Zhixia, who was only a promise, turned out to be dead a long time ago, since you don't want to talk about personal feelings, then we will be strangers from now on. ”

After Xue Rin finished speaking, she left without hesitation, Yao Zhixia stood in place, as the footsteps became more and more blurred, she realized that the moment they met, it was the beginning of destined separation.

----

The lunch episode ended when Ah Yuan placed a clutch in front of the troublesome couple, and it turned out that the woman had left the handbag on the sink.

The lost property was found, but her husband was not so lucky, Lin Qingyu, who learned what had happened, not only announced on the spot that the company's supply qualification was canceled, but also invited the couple out directly.

As the night wore on, the lights around the resort lit up the night sky, and after an afternoon of recuperation and entertainment, guests were all excited for the dinner that followed.

Although Ben can't speak a word of Chinese, but today he is full of gains, at first when he went to talk to Lin Qingyu, he didn't have much hope, just wanted to mix up a familiar face, but what he didn't expect was that after only a few minutes of chatting, this Lin Qingyu gave him a plan to get to know each other further, the two talked about their growth experience from their respective family businesses, and Ben even unexpectedly found that the two were alumni who had studied at the same university.

Ben was thinking about today's experience, and the door next to him suddenly opened, and Yao Zhixia poked his head out.

As soon as she turned around, she was already shocked by the long black dress that Yao Zhixia was wearing, she had been wearing a conservative professional suit before, but now she suddenly had her long hair coiled and was wearing a well-tailored over-the-knee dress, just like a different person.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ben looking at her stunned, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but ask.

"Yao, you're so beautiful to wear, you're so good for this dress, wow!

Ben's praise was endless, and Yao Zhixia couldn't help but blush, this dress was not only beautiful for her, but also had a special meaning, it was a gift she bought for herself after completing her first interpreting job.

The reason why she chose to buy a skirt as a reward stems from her childhood long-cherished wish, Children's Day in elementary school, Yao Zhixia was selected by the teacher as the host of the festival because she has always been very well-behaved and has good academic performance, but in the end, because the family could not afford to buy a white princess gauze skirt that the host needs to wear, she could only give up this opportunity, the night after the event ended, after her mother fell asleep, the young Yao Zhixia hid in the quilt and silently shed tears.

The regrets of childhood may be made up for with money when they grow up, but the regrets of growing up are like wounds that can never be healed, always painful when people are most vulnerable, just like Yao Zhixia at this time, she was humiliated by Xue Rin to the point of incompleteness, she still has to pretend to face him again tonight without waves.

Ben bent his arm and motioned for Yao Zhixia to carry him, and seeing that Yao Zhixia did not refuse his gentlemanly move, he led her to the banquet hall where the dinner was held.

"Yao, actually, I always have a question for you, which may be presumptuous, but ...... Xue Rin, he?"

During the day, he witnessed the chase game between Xue Rin and Yao Zhixia, and naturally had doubts in his heart.

"We know. ”

"Oh, I said, no wonder he ......"

Yao Zhixia's low tone made Ben instantly notice that the relationship between the two did not seem to be so pleasant, and in order not to make the atmosphere awkward, he immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence back.

No matter how much he wanted to ignore the existence of the other party, the moment he entered the banquet hall, Yao Zhixia still uncontrollably looked for Xue Rin's figure in the crowd.

Ben also looked around expectantly, trying to find Lin Qingyu, and the intimate waiter took the initiative to serve each of them a glass of champagne.

At this moment, Manager Zhang walked up to the stage with a microphone in hand, and after a lengthy opening remark, he announced the official start of the dinner.

In the next second, all the headlights in the audience went out, and they were replaced by dark lights scattered on the roof of the shed.

The secret and beautiful atmosphere made the audience boil, and just as people were cheering, a bright chasing light suddenly hit the crowd.

Following that beam of light, Yao Zhixia saw Xue Rin, who was particularly dazzling in the crowd, and it was Lin Qingyu's snow-white slender hand that snuggled up in the crook of his arm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next, please allow me to invite Mr. Xue and Mr. Xue Rin of our Qianxiang Group and Director Lin and Miss Lin Qingyu of Dahua Group to dance this opening dance for us!"

In the applause of everyone, Xue Rin put his hand on Lin Qingyu's back lightly, and led her to the middle of the banquet hall, the melodious music sounded in time, Lin Qingyu glanced at Lin Jiashang who was standing not far away, and took steps with the beat of the music and Xue Rin's guidance.

Yao Zhixia disappeared in the dim crowd, staring at the dancing two with bated breath, Xue Rin in black and Lin Qingyu in a white slim evening dress, like a prince and princess wandering on Swan Lake, so beautiful that it was intoxicating, and the guests present all stared intently at this pair of beautiful people, and the whispers of admiration were like ants, which drilled into Yao Zhixia's ears from time to time.

Yao Zhixia vaguely remembered that in the study of the old house where Xue Rin lived, there were a lot of old records and vinyl discs of heavy metal rock, but he didn't expect that he could dance a waltz, Xue Rin's easy dance steps made Yao Zhixia feel in a trance that she had never known him.

Ben, who was standing beside Yao Zhixia, was only staring at Lin Qingyu, who was as beautiful as Snow White, and a smile appeared on his face.

Just like those who have always longed to escape from the siege, the world envies Lin Qingyu for such a life, but only she knows how tormented she is at the moment.

Knowing that the other party is disgusted with herself, or even more sad, she ignores herself, but she still has to be at the mercy of others like a doll, if it is not for the consolidation of the Lin family's position in the group, how could she accept such an arrangement with pride.

"She's coming?"

Lin Qingyu couldn't help but whisper in Xue Rin's ear.

"Knowingly asked. Xue Rin opened his lips coldly.

"Later, you separated?"

Lin Qingyu had asked Ben during the day, Yao Zhixia would appear here and had nothing to do with Xue Rin, seeing Xue Rin's expression at the moment, Lin Qingyu came up with an answer in his heart, Xue Rin still had a deep resentment towards Yao Zhixia's departure.

Seeing that Xue Rin didn't respond, Lin Qingyu continued: "I heard Ben say that he is your old friend, I really underestimated Yao Zhixia, the yacht attendant back then, now he has become a business translator, it's really a twist and turn!"

"I don't care what you think of you, there is only one request, stay away from her. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xue Rin pulled Lin Qingyu out of his arms with a force, and the frightened Lin Qingyu tried his best to stabilize his feet so that he would not fall.

The surrounding guests burst into warm applause, unaware of the strange atmosphere between the two.

Lin Qingyu, who had returned to his position, stared at Xue Rin with a smile on his face, and swallowed this breath forcefully.

After the dance, in the applause of everyone, Xue Rin let go of Lin Qingyu, walked straight to Manager Zhang, and motioned for him to give the microphone to himself, Manager Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately obediently put the microphone with both hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you again for coming, the future of Qianxiang Group is inseparable from your support and cooperation, I hope you can leave a good memory tonight!

After speaking, Xue Rin threw the microphone to Manager Zhang, the music sounded again, and the guests all spread out actively, toasting and chatting in twos and threes, and for a while, the entire banquet hall was lively.

There was an endless stream of guests who came to congratulate and greet them, and Xue Rin respectfully greeted them one by one, and when all the entertainment was over, Xue Rin felt a little tired.

"Brother Rin, go out and rest for a while, you can't be too tired. Ah Yuan whispered in Xue Rin's ear.

Xue Rin exhaled, planning to go outside to breathe, but he was just about to raise his feet and walk outside the banquet hall, when he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Yao Zhixia in a black dress.

At this time, Yao Zhixia was standing beside Ben, engrossed in translating a conversation between Ben and another guest.

Xue Rin couldn't help but stop, staring at Yao Zhixia, who looked like a new student, with confidence and a smile from the bottom of his heart that he had never seen before.

The woman who was often shy and timid was gone, the woman who was bullied like a lamb and couldn't resist was gone, a bitter smile flashed at the corner of Xue Rin's mouth, it turned out that she who only belonged to herself had really left.

"Brother Rin, I'm staring here, you go and rest. ”

Ah Yuan also saw the woman in the distance, and he pursed his lips uneasily and urged.

Retracting his gaze, Xue Rin paused, turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.

----

After chatting with people from all walks of life for more than an hour, Ben felt dry mouth, so he took Yao Zhixia to the dining table to get some food.

"Yao, I'm so happy, I didn't expect that I, a foreigner, was quite popular, and so many entrepreneurs wanted to know me. Ben said as he looked curiously at the various novelties on the table.

"We Chinese are very hospitable, you have to be confident that your family will definitely find new development opportunities in this land of China in the future." Yao Zhixia said and handed Ben an empty plate.

At this time, Ben had already been attracted by a red square pastry, and as soon as he thanked Yao Zhixia, he took a clip and put it on his plate.

"What is this? I don't think I've ever eaten it. ”

Ben curiously flicked the piece of pastry with his fork, which seemed to be very elastic, and he raised the plate to his nose again, and sniffed it carefully, and smelled a sweet and sour.

Yao Zhixia, who was pouring water on the side, unconsciously turned his head, but lost his mind after seeing the pastry on the plate.

"Hey, water!" Ben's eyes were quick and he stood up the water bottle in Yao Zhixia's hand.

Yao Zhixia looked at the glass in her hand in a trance, and the clear water in the cup couldn't resist her trembling hands, and spilled out staggeringly.

"Be careful, don't get your clothes wet. Ben picked up a napkin from the dining table and thoughtfully wiped Yao Zhixia's hands.

"Thank you, I'll just come by myself. Yao Zhixia took the tissue and wiped it absentmindedly twice.

Seeing that Yao Zhixia was fine, he relaxed and looked around while eating pastries.

Suddenly, Ben found Lin Qingyu chatting with several young and beautiful girls, and his eyes immediately couldn't take his eyes off.

"Yao, I've worked hard for you today, it's time to get off work, you're free!" said without looking back.

"Huh, so fast?" Yao Zhixia was a little surprised.

"Eat slowly, eat more, I'...... I'm going to wander around, you don't have to follow me!"

Ben then put down his plate and picked up a glass of champagne from the table, and after a moment's thought, he took another one.

"Enjoy tonight! don't follow me!" Ben said and slipped into the crowd.

Yao Zhixia didn't have time to think about it, she hung her head and looked at the red on the plate lonely, her eyes were a little wet.

"This is what Brother Arin explained, and all the hotels under the Qianxiang Group will serve this dessert. ”

The sudden appearance of the voice startled Yao Zhixia, and she hurriedly raised her head, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Sister Zhixia, long time no see. ”

A gentle smile appeared on Ah Yuan's face, and his eyes flashed with quiet joy.
