Novel Full Chapter 911 : Moved on?
“This was a mistake, Zhou Ai!” Jin urgently whispered near Ai’s ear, who was busy choosing the next appetizer in line to eat. She picked up a puff made up of some bread with a thong and happily placed it on her plate.
Then she looked at Jin. “Did you say something?”
His gaze darkened. “Listen to people when they talk.”
“The music is a little loud here.”
“I am saying that it was a mistake coming here. This is Kang Yuze’s company party. Why are we even here? I know you are here just to eat out of Bro’s view, which I won’t let you do it anyway.”
She glared.
“But there is no point in me coming here!”
“Why not? Shui will be here. Ren Alix and Kang Xiao too. You should make new friends,” her brows furrowed. “And the main point here is why we didn’t go to the Han villa to pick Shui?”
“…I-I mean it wasn’t necessary really. Wouldn’t she come by herself?”
Just then a black car arrived at the entrance and Yuze stepped out from the driver’s seat. The Kang company employees cheered upon seeing their CEO.
Yuze walked around and opened the door to the passenger seat. Shui, dressed in a beautiful coffee color dress, stepped out and smiled at him. The employees turned on their gossiping mode.
“I told you something is going on between our CEO and Miss. Han Shui! They are always together nowadays!”
“He even invited her to our company party. What else would it mean?”
Everybody’s whispers and talk was falling on Jin’s ears and he pressed his lips slightly. From the back passenger seat, Xiao also came out and accompanied her brother and Shui.
Ai glanced at Jin, whose expression didn’t look so good. “Well, he certainly went ahead to pick Shui up.”
“…What is the problem with that?”
“You should ask that yourself.”
Yuze smiled at his employees as he entered and said, “Continue with the party guys. I will raise a toast when everybody is in. Stuff up your stomachs all you want.”
The crowd cheered him.
Shui found Ai and raised her arm. “Ai!”
Ai eagerly waved her hand too. “Shui, you look so pretty! I love this dress. It makes me think of Jun’s eyes,” she blushed a little.
“And you are glowing. Pregnancy certainly has its charm,” Shui chuckled.
“Or food,” Jin let out a snide remark.
“Hey,” Yuze waved a hi and smiled. “Thanks for coming.”
Jin paused and said, “It should be us apologizing for barging in your party without even a proper invitation.”
He threw an accusatory gaze towards Ai as he said it. She looked away and focused on eating her puff.
“Oh please, you don’t have to stand on a ceremony like that,” Yuze waved his hand, “I had planned upon inviting the Liu family too but our companies are not really associated professionally, so I wasn’t sure. I didn’t want to put anybody on the spot.”
Xiao said, “I don’t see Alix and Mui anywhere. Have they not arrived yet?”
Jin’s gaze fell outside and he saw another car parking in front of the entrance. Alix’s sister, Mui, stepped out first and flipped her hair back with a style. She impatiently waited for Alix to come out, who was limping her way. Her right heel was broken and she walked, unbalanced.
Jin saw a little altercation happening between them where Mui clearly didn’t look so pleased with being late to the party and most probably because of Alix. Alix wasn’t really caring much and she already gave a signal to Mui to go on ahead and leave her behind if she wanted.
Mui scoffed and graciously took up on that offer.
“Xiao! Miss. Han!” She eagerly waved at them and hopped to their side.
Jin looked at Ai and said, “I will be back in a minute. You don’t run around and be seated in one place.”
Ai – “…”
—
“Ugh, damn it!”
Alix cursed her luck, staring at the broken piece of her heel.
“If you take back your prize for me joining Shui’s art classes, then I might probably help you.”
Alix looked up and seeing Jin standing in front of her with his arms folded, she arched her brow.
“You think I cannot help myself?”
“At least, I can see you struggling a little.”
She chuckled. “No thanks. I am not taking back my hard earned prize.”
His brow twitched. “It was just a silly drawing competition.”
“Which you lost so show some sportsmanship. Are you that afraid of getting close to Shui?”
“There is nothing to get afraid of!” He glared at her. “You are just having fun at my expense, don’t you?”
She sneered. “I have better things to do and my definition of entertainment is not so boring.”
She limped and walked and stumbled off balance. Jin caught her arm and helped her stand straight. “Why don’t you ask someone to get you a new pair? It’s still not too late.”
Alix narrowed her eyes. “Somebody did this to embarrass me and I am not afraid of a challenge.”
“Your sister?”
“She is going to pay for this,” she smiled. “Don’t you dare interfere.”
“You are already interfering in my life though,” he dryly said.
“Will you believe me if I say that I have a certain someone’s permission to meddle in your life?”
“You are drunk?”
She shrugged. “I wish I was so that I just sleep through this boring party and tadah! I will be back home already.”
“Then why did you even come?”
“Why did you come?”
“I was forced,” his gaze darkened.
“Ah, how our fates match so perfectly. Somebody has to prove that she is a good sister so here I am.”
“Leaving you here alone to come by yourself in a broken heel is not really proving anything.”
She shrugged. “Who said a human’s thought process can be understood?”
Jin offered his hand without a word. Alix chuckled. “Shui will feel really hurt.”
“…I already said that we have moved on.”
“So it didn’t hurt you when she came with Kang Yuze?” she smiled.
