Chapter 232 - Not To Live For His Sake (1/2)

Chapter 232 Not To Live For His SakeTang Xia dressed up in her best attire and left her house to drive herself there. The bustling streets flashed past her throughout her journey, but she had an inexplicable feeling that something was not right.

However, she felt that Ye Yifan probably really had some urgent matter to attend to. Otherwise, someone as gentlemanly as him would not have done this.

When the car gradually reached the venue of the event, the cheering and laughter coming from the interior of the big, tall villa could already be heard from afar. Tang Xia gradually stopped the car and handed the keys over to the attendant who approached her. “Miss, do you have an invitation?”

Tang Xia took something that resembled a card out of her handbag. “Are you referring to this?”

The attendant instantly replied in a more respectful and courteous tone, “So you are Miss Tang. Please come in.”

Tang Xia smiled slightly and lifted her skirt gently to walk into the venue slowly, one step at a time. When she stepped onto the marble floor in her stilettoes, a crisp sound echoed.

Everyone was stunned when they noticed Tang Xia, who was slightly embarrassed as she returned their tasteful smiles. However, just as Tang Xia was about to walk to the center of the lobby, she spotted two figures that she couldn’t be more familiar with. She was instantly stunned.

She felt her spine turn cold instantaneously. The handsome hunk and pretty lady, who were so dazzling when they were together, were obviously Ye Yifan and Li Xianxian!

Li Xianxian was smiling like a flower as she chatted with Ye Yifan about something. Tang Xia did not know what was wrong with her, but she felt so terrible that both her hands were balled up into fists.

Suddenly, Ye Yifan, who had been chatting happily with Li Xianxian, noticed Tang Xia, who was staring at them while she stood far away. He was instantly stunned before he turned his head to shoot a glance at Li Xianxian.

Li Xianxian was also slightly puzzled. When she turned around and saw Tang Xia, she frowned, unable to conceal the look of loathing on her face. When Tang Xia saw the two of them looking at her, she turned expressionlessly and left.

Ye Yifan suddenly felt his heart sink. He dashed over directly and caught hold of Tang Xia. His sudden action caused Tang Xia to lose her stability and get slammed straight into Ye Yifan’s arms.

Before Tang Xia could respond, she heard Ye Yifan’s anxious voice. His voice was deep and low and seemed to have a certain magical charm to it. “Li Xianxian suddenly ran over to my house. Don’t be angry, Tang Xia. I did not expect it either…”

Tang Xia’s mind was not quite lucid as she rubbed her temples. Gradually, she regained her lucidity, pushed Ye Yifan away, and broke free from his arms before she asked him softly, “So you just threw me aside?”

She had originally thought that Ye Yifan had some urgent matter to attend to, but it turned out that Li Xianxian had suddenly come over. No matter how she thought about it or how hard she pondered it, she could only jump to the conclusion that she did not hold as important a position as Li Xianxian in his heart!

Ye Yifan was stunned for a moment. He had never seen Tang Xia look so angry before. It was as if a volcano that had remained dormant for a long time could not contain itself anymore and suddenly erupted one day.

He was instantly lost. He had no idea what to do. He had never encountered such a situation before. He took a deep breath and slowly stepped aside before he reached out with his hand like a gentleman.

“I wonder if I could have the honor of having the opening dance with Miss Tang as a form of apology?”

Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan’s extended hand. As she felt hesitant about whether she should agree, she suddenly heard a yell that was accompanied by the sound of brief panting.

Before the two of them could react, an unidentified object dashed straight into Ye Yifan’s arms. Both of them were instantly shocked. However, Ye Yifan, who was the first to react, pushed Li Xianxian away. “Xianxian, stop fooling around.”

It was at that moment that Tang Xia finally saw clearly. The person in front of her was Li Xianxian. She suddenly felt as if a stone was weighing down on her heart. She felt slightly oppressed and found it hard to breathe.

Li Xianxian was weeping like a pear blossom bathed in the rain. She gripped onto Yifan’s arm for dear life. No matter how hard Ye Yifan tried, he could not break free. “Yifan, look! They are all talking about me behind my back. I really hate how they are acting!”

Ye Yifan could not push Li Xianxian away. Thus, he secretly took one peek at Tang Xia from the corner of his eye before he sighed helplessly. “Xianxian, during this livestream, you did things which were not right. That much is true.”

Li Xianxian was stunned for a moment. She had not expected that Ye Yifan would side with Tang Xia at that very moment. He did not even say something nice or offer her some words of comfort!

She immediately turned her head and glared viciously at Tang Xia. Coincidentally, Ye Yifan could not see from this angle, but her glare left Tang Xia speechless. Actually, she had been silently resisting the urge to rush over and throw Li Xianxian out.

It’s all because of you! If it hadn’t been for you, she would not have done that livestream. That incident would not have happened and Ye Yifan would not have treated or spoken to her like this.

Li Xianxian found it hard to bear her anger. She instantly felt indignance along with a shred of dissatisfaction. The tear stains on her face had yet to dry, and she looked like the gentle and delicate Lin Daiyu from ancient times, which made one’s heart ache for her. “But Yifan…”

Before Ye Yifan could recover, Li Xianxian pointed at Tang Xia viciously. She appeared to be slightly furious and resentful. “Can you vouch that she could be safe and sound there and that she never did anything bad?”

Suddenly, both of them went silent and merely stared at Li Xianxian.
