Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Chen Xu was gone, Pan Li’s demeanor toward Chen Fan suddenly improved as she poured her attention on him. Chen Fan ignored her insistent persuasion to drink up, instead, he took only small sips of wine from his cup. He also noticed Pan Li’s flirtatious gaze that was locked on his face.

Pan Li had always been a small ball of s.e.xually charged fire. She let her s.e.xual charm loose to attract the attention of Chen Fan, however, she ended up only arousing Qiu Yilun.

A hint of displeasure flickered in Zhou Qinya’s eyes. Although she didn’t take Chen Fan too seriously, she was curious about Chen Fan’s background. Despite coming from a prestigious family, Chen Fan acted as if he was an ordinary person. They had hung out together for a few weeks and not until then did they realize his unusual family background.

“Boss, I will drink up my wine as an apology. I was wrong”

Qiu Yilun lifted the wine cup, looking embarra.s.sed. Before Chen Fan could offer an answer, he poured the contents in his cup down his throat. Under Qian Lulu’s influence, he was very close to drawing a line with Chen Fan and siding with Chen Xu. After all, he had thought Chen Fan was just an ordinary college student while Chen Xu was one of the heirs of an influential family.

“No worries. No harm is done.”

Chen Fan drunk up for the first time. He knew Qiu Yilun very well. Although his personality was flawed with many shortfalls such as his promiscuity and arrogance, he was extremely loyal to his friends. In that respect, his girlfriend, Qian Lulu couldn’t compare.

Qian Lulu also looked embarra.s.sed.

Qi w.a.n.gsun remained as calm as before, however, a sharp light flashed in his eyes from time to time as he fixed his gaze on Chen Fan.

“So is it true that Fang Qiong is your girlfriend?” Zhou Qinya asked abruptly.

The question caught everyone’s attention. They paused and looked to Chen Fan. Pan Li tightened her face and waited expectantly.

“Of course.” Chen Fan shrugged.

“Fang Qiong had been famous when she was only in high school. Many heirs of elite families line up to woo her.” Zhou Qinya stared at Chen Fna knowingly as she smiled lightly.

“You guys might not know this. Ever since she was in high school, she has a spot in her father’s office and partic.i.p.ated in her father’s business meetings. She went to school during the day and helped her father run his company in the night. Rumor had it that by then, she was practically involved in every operation of the company. Her father Fang Mingde had given her part of his authority and is going to let her be in charge of their new makeup company.”

“Really?” Everyone was impressed.

This information only circulated among the elites of Jin City. An average Joe might not even know who Fang Qiong was.

The thought that Fang Qiong was already going to run a company while they wasted their lives away in bars and clubs made the college students lament how far they had fallen behind.

“Therefore, most of her pursuers were from the top families such as the son of the owner of the Wan Rong Group, Shen Junwen. He was her good friend and cla.s.smate for many years. Son of Qin Hua, Qin Wenjun was also on the list.” Zhou Qinya looked to Chen Fan thoughtfully.

“I have heard that Fang Qiong’s National University Entrance Exam grade was on the top ten list in the province. She could have gone to Huaqin University or Yan Jin University, however, she insisted on staying in Jin City University. Rumor had it that she did so because she is waiting for someone. Is it you who she is waiting for?”

Chen Fan remained calm under everyone’s surprised glare. He took a sip of wine and suddenly, sorrow and wistfulness start to flicker in his eyes.

In his last life, Fang Qiong had waited for him for six long years but in the end, he could only get into the Business School at the Jin City University. Although he still failed to attend the Jin City University with Fang Qiong in this lifetime, he was with her under a different persona.

“So you guys are childhood crushes and made a promise to each other to attend the same university! Wow! that’s romantic.” Qiu Yilun exclaimed

“Humph! Power and knowledge are useless for women. The top priority of us woman is to find a good man. Not everyone can stomach a strident strong woman.”

Qi w.a.n.gsun’s hands shook a little after he heard the remark.

He remembered his girlfriend who he had run away from. She was attractive and talented, but he couldn’t stand her strong and stubborn personality. In the end, their conflict drove him to run away far from her to this university in Southern China. His gaze landed on Liu Xiaojin and her innocent and kittenish appearance. It suddenly seemed much more appealing to him than before.

Chen Fan kept his silence and didn’t say a thing,

Pan Li was just an average mortal and she would never understand the thought had gone through him and the five hundred years’ suffering. She was his destiny. He loved Fang Qiong in his past life, and so would he this time around.

“What the h.e.l.l, who cares. let’s keep drinking!”

Qian Lulu finally broke the awkward silence.

After a while, the party was over. Qi w.a.n.gsun unprecedentedly invited Liu Xiaojin for a walk outside. Liu Xiaojin was elated by the turn of the events; her insistent effort had finally paid off.

Qiu Yilun gave the rest of the girls a ride home, leaving Chen Fan alone with Zhou Qinya.

“Do you want to head home now or you are in the mood for another one?”

Zhou Qinya’s lips curled into an alluring smile. She rarely smiled, but when she did, it was breath-taking.

The more time she spent with Chen Fan, the less she understood him. In her mind, Chen Fan had transformed from an average joe to not only a direct descendant of the Chen family but also Fang Qiong’s childhood crush.
