8 Let’s Get Married (1/2)
”Mr. Ye, I hadn't been able to thank you. I'll be treating you tonight.” Yang Xinyi smiled.
Her smile was like a spring breeze.
”Waiter!” Ye Xiong raised his hand and voice.
”Open a bottle of your most expensive red wine,” Ye Xiong said upon the arrival of the waiter.
Xiao Fangfang gawked at him with bulging eyes.
”Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not spending your money. President Yang's happy to pay, am I right?” Ye Xiong twitched his mouth.
Seemingly accustomed to his thoughtless demeanor, Yang Xinyi smiled. ”It's okay.”
”Xinyi, he's trying to capitalize and take advantage of you. Don't let him do that.”
”Fangfang, don't talk about it. I know what I'm doing,” Yang Xinyi turned to Ye Xiong and smiled. ”Mr. Ye...”
”Please, call me by my name.”
Ye Xiong had goosebumps when she called him Mr.
”I'll address you as Ye Xiong.”
Dinner and red wine were served. The waiter opened the bottle and poured each one a glass.
Three personalities were on the same table. Xiao Fangfang was asking questions to pry into Ye Xiong's life while Ye Xiong was dodging the questions. Ye Xiong was not telling the truth, nine out of ten questions. Only Yang Xinyi sat beside and paid close attention while adding substance to the conversation every once in a while like a wise elder.
After dinner, Yang Xinyi offered. ”Ye Xiong, can you drop me off? I can't hold my drink.”
”Xinyi...”
”What? You can't bear to part with him?” The red-faced Yang Xinyi asked Xiao Fangfang.
”I'm only warning you not to be fooled by his appearance. He's bad news,” Xiao Fangfang advised.
”Hear that? Isn't President Yang asking for trouble?” Ye Xiong casually cast a glance at Yang Xinyi.
Yang Xinyi, having consumed some red wine, had her cheeks flushed red, her eyes in a state of daze and her voice somewhat ambiguous. She was captivating. She curled her lips into a smile. ”I trust Ye Xiong is a gentleman.”
”Don't blame me for not alerting you.” Xiao Fangfang snorted. She got into her BMW and drove away.
For some reason, she was upset. The thought of Ye Xiong in Yang Xinyi's car was displeasing!
”You'll lose your virginity for letting a lame construction worker drop you off.” Xiao Fangfang cursed.
Ye Xiong got into Yang Xinyi's Porsche. From the rear-view mirror, he saw her quietly sitting in the back seat with her eyes fixated outside the window as though she was deep in thought.
Street lights streaks flickered on her face, dark and gleaming at times. The smile out of professional habit was missing. Her brows were in a deep frown with a load on her mind.
”President Yang, where to?” Ye Xiong asked.
”Let's take a stroll at the peak of Mount Tiandu,” Yang Xinyi dully answered.
Mount Tiandu was a mountain in the north of Jiangnan City. There was a winding path up to the top. It was a great place for a ride. Ye Xiong was puzzled about why she would go to such a place when it was late. Did she want something to happen between them?
He quickly dismissed the idea. He recalled Xiao Fangfang mentioning Yang Xinyi's religion that opposed her from any illicit conduct prior to marriage. He would be damned if she wanted something to happen between them.
The car hurtled past and soon they reached the top of the mountain.
The two got down from the car. Suddenly, a commotion was stirred as seven drunk youngsters came and encircled them.
”We were just talking about women when a beauty presented herself. A gorgeous one too!”
”God must have heard our prayers and sent a woman to relieve us.”
The hooligans surrounded them like sharks and gawked at Yang Xinyi with perverted looks.
Yang Xinyi hid behind Ye Xiong without a hint of panic. She knew Ye Xiong could take care of these hooligans. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Get lost!” Ye Xiong coldly blurted.
He did not raise his voice but it was capable of stirring their souls, enough for the group of hooligans to sober up.
”B*stard, you don't know what's coming, beat...”
Before he could finish, the guy flew five to six meters away before scrambling onto the ground and struggled to get up. The surrounding hooligans did not get a good eye on the attack.
”There's something odd about this guy. Let's attack together.”
The remaining few whipped out daggers to pounce at Ye Xiong.
