Chapter 1236 - He Looked at Her Like She Was a Stranger (1/2)

The first thing Cen Xi saw was a pair of long legs.

Then her gaze slowly moved up and she saw the man’s tall body and a devilish face like it was from a comic.

Slender upturned eyes, high nose bridge, s.e.xy red lips. His facial features and the outline of his face were like it was made by G.o.d’s hands, there seemed to be no flaws.

He wore a pair of rimless gla.s.ses, his forehead covered with his bangs. The outline of his face was well-defined and handsome, making one fascinated just by looking.

He had one hand in his pants pocket, his lips lifted slightly in a devilish and cold smile. His body exuded a strong aura.

As he came in, all the men and women stood up from the sofa.

Only Cen Xi, who was crouched down by the coffee table, seemed to be fixed in place, staring at the man who had come into the room.

She knew him.

She had seen his photo countless times. Before she met Qiao Sen, she had always wanted to find him, wanting to atone for her sister’s mistake.

But he had not been heard of and she did not know where he had gone. She never expected to meet him on the yacht tonight.

She lowered her fluttering eyelashes that were like b.u.t.terfly wings and tightened her grip on the wine bottle.

Were her eyes playing a trick on her?

Other than his face, his figure, the way he walked as well as the aura of keeping people away from him, were all very similar to the Qiao Sen she knew.

Qiao Sen…

There was a dull pain in Cen Xi’s heart when she thought of him.

Did he really sacrifice himself?

Or, did he change his ident.i.ty and start a new life?

Cen Xi lowered her face and was like a puppet that had lost the ability to think, her mind blank.

“Third Brother Qiao, you’re here.” The one who spoke was Tang Xi, who was Qiao Yanze’s best friend since he was a child and grew up together with him.

When the incident happened at the Qiao family, the Tang family who was close with the Qiao family, was also implicated. Tang Xi was forced to go abroad and when he secretly returned home, Qiao Yanze had disappeared and no one knew where he had gone.

Qiao Yanze looked at Tang Xi, whose eyes were red, and they shook hands and b.u.mped their shoulders in the way of good buddies. Tang Xi could not wait and pulled Qiao Yanze to sit down.

“Girl, pour some wine.”

After a few seconds, Tang Xi saw that the waitress did not bring the wine and he raised his eyebrows. “Girl, what’s the matter with you? Pour the wine!”

Qiao Yanze looked at the woman by the coffee table with his upturned eyes that were under the lenses.

The woman was wearing a wine red cheongsam with a high slit. As she was crouching down, most of her legs were exposed and her skin was fair and clear as jade.

She had her head lowered like she was in thought.

She only reacted when Tang Xi called her for the second time, and poured the wine hurriedly, bringing it over with her head lowered.

Qiao Yanze’s tall and elegant body leaned against the sofa, his chin resting on his long fingers. Every action of his showed the coldness and arrogance of a rich young man. Instead of taking the wine, he stared fixedly at Cen Xi, whose head was lowered. He said in a clear and slightly lazy voice, “Lift your head up.”

His voice was what she had never heard before.
