171 Little Brother Emo (2/2)
Ye Shuang thought about it after she received the invitation. She was particularly friendly with the family on the first floor over the following two days. She had helped the granny on the first floor babysit her grandkid. She played with the two-year-old granddaughter for two days and finally captured the heart of another child. With the girl's help, she managed to maintain her male form until the day of the party. She left home at 4 pm and drove to the party venue.
”Mr. Ye‽” When Ye Shuang's car arrived at the parking lot, there were already people waiting for her. When they saw the license plates that their boss had specially mentioned, they quickly rushed over to hand her a card. ”Boss told us to refer you to his private underground parking spot. There's a special elevator, and the adjacent parking spots are reserved for managers, so you don't need to worry about interruption.”
”Thank you.”
Ye Shuang nodded politely and was once again impressed by Fang Mo's forethought. After accepting the card, she followed the direction given by the man and soon found the parking spot. Ye Shuang parked the car and walked to use the elevator.
The elevator door just opened, and Ye Shuang had not even gotten the chance to get in when another car arrived. There seemed to be a driver because before the car was even parked, the person in the passenger seat got out, and the driver moved to park the car while the man walked to the elevator.
Only those in business or upper society would park here. Ye Shuang held the elevator door open out of courtesy. After the man got in and removed his sunglasses, both of them were surprised. This was someone she knew. It was An Zixuan, who had been chased overseas by Sister Shuang.
At the time, to lure Xu Jian to take the bait, they had to deal with the uncertainty of An Zixuan. Now that the dust had settled at An Empire and Anthony had tied up all the loose ends, no one would mind if Anthony returned to the company.
The first time Ye Shuang saw An Zixuan, it was at An Zining's place. He was both successful in terms of business and love at the time, so he looked happy and calm. When she saw him again at the bar, An Zixuan had finally seen through the mask of his so-called lover. He was down in the dumps. And now… if not for the similarity in the facial features, Ye Shuang would not have thought that she was looking at the same person.
The current An Zixuan had resentment and hatred in his eyes. It was unclear whether he had been dumped again when he was overseas or there was no one to help him walk out of the trauma, but he looked just like those annoying teens who hated everyone and everything.
”Hello, are you going to Noah Real Estate's party as well?”
Brother Shuang was now a public figure, so he easily ignored the resentment in An Zixuan's eyes. She recovered quickly from her initial shock and flashed a smile that lit up her handsome face.
”Oh, yes.” An Zixuan was still stunned. As he answered, his expression shifted, and he staggered involuntarily back.
After the man answered, Ye Shuang pressed the button for the top floor. The elevator door was closed, and An Zixuan was standing in the way. Before the man got injured, Ye Shuang quickly reached out to grab him and pull him in with as light of a touch as possible. Because she was careful not to injure the man, her movement and expression were gentle and careful.
This surprised An Zixuan again. His eyes softened quite a bit. When he heard the elevator door closed behind him, he slowly understood why the man suddenly reached out to grab him.
The elevator started to move upward. Ye Shuang smiled politely and nudged back slightly to maintain his polite façade. Then she turned her attention to the number above the door. After three seconds of silence, An Zixuan suddenly spoke. ”Don't you know me‽”
He really did not believe that people in San Lin City would not know about the big joke called the An family's young master. They kept whispering horrible things behind his back… but An Zixuan did not expect that he would be the recipient of such peaceful gaze.
”Hmm?” Ye Shuang turned to look at the man with a surprised gaze. She used one second to comb through her memory and confirmed that An Zixuan had only met her female form, so she used her brilliant acting to shake her head with sincerity. ”I'm sorry, I've been spending my time in Jing Hu City and Shanghai on business, so I'm not familiar with people from San Lin City.”
When An Zixuan heard this answer, he sighed silently in relief, and the expression on his face became more natural. The light in the elevator was very bright. Ye Shuang's skin was unblemished, and it was practically glowing in the light. Combined with his handsome features and buff body, looking at him gave the impression that one was looking at a Greek sculpture.
It was not that An Zixuan did not follow the news, but his original focus had been surrounding Xu Jian and the An family's business, so as famous as Brother Shuang was, for An Zixuan, who did not read the entertainment news, Ye Shuang's face was one of those handsome faces that he saw on television and on the street. However, when he saw the man in person, An Zixuan realized that this man's handsomeness was far greater than he anticipated.
Ye Shuang was already used to the popularity her male form enjoyed. It was still acceptable when she was in her female form. There were compliments, but people would not stare at her until they lost focus. Even before she became a star, there were people on the street walking into poles because they were too busy staring at here… including both males and females.
Because of that, Ye Shuang did not think much of the gaze that An Zixuan kept tossing her way. She kept her expression neutral like she did not notice anything. Her expression did not even twitch until the door opened.
Of course, her attitude confirmed the answer that she had given An Zixuan earlier. If they had heard about An Zixuan before, they would not have been able to face him so calmly!
Especially the males!
She nodded politely at An Zixuan as she stepped out of the elevator. She scanned the party and soon found her target. The employees who attended the party were surprised. They knew that their boss would invite several guests for the annual party, but no one expected this year's guest would be so surprising and good on the eyes.
Fang Mo noticed the sudden silence at the party. He turned around, and as he expected, he saw Ye Shuang standing at the elevator looking at him with a half-smile.
”You're here!” Fang Mo smiled brightly and was about to walk forward when he halted. An Zixuan‽ Who invited him?
