87 1.3.9: Birthday Celebration V

Xiao Yunhua ignored his murmur of her name and turned around to leave, but she suddenly froze when she heard a deep yet teasing voice.

"What's going on here?"

She felt her skin pricked with goosebumps because of how familiar the voice was.

The voice was deep and velvety, giving her goosebumps and causing her heart to palpitate.

The voice belonged to the man that she had met on the island while drunk.

The one that she almost lost her virginity to.

The man that she silently made a bet with!

"Ming'er," Zhou Elder immediately brightened up when he heard his heir and favorite grandson.

He didn't expect that their little confrontation would attract the attention of his grandson.

Suddenly, he panicked when he considered the idea that he would fall for her just like his other grandsons.

But as Zhou Elder glanced and analyzed Zhou Ming's reactions, he was relieved to find mischief in his eyes rather than interest.

Any emotion was better than feeling anything for the enchantress before them.

"Don't mind this, let's go and speak. After all, you're rarely home. Who knows when you'll leave again for the family business!"

Zhou Elder sighed in disappointment, placing his wrinkled hand on the shoulder of his much taller grandson.

To his surprise, Zhou Ming uttered, "No worries, grandfather. I have settled anything that needs my attention, hence why I'll be home for a while unless an emergency happens."

"Really! What a relief, it's always best to have you home to nag."

Zhou Feng teased, different than his usual cold behavior and different from how he acted when Xiao Yunhua said she was going home.

Zhou Ming only smiled, his peerless face looking even more handsome.

All the young women felt their hearts fluttering and wondered who would be lucky enough to snag the title of his wife.

Even Kang Yiyi, who was devoted to Zhou Feng, blushed.

If Zhou Feng didn't exist, then the perfect man in front of her would've been the one.

Unfortunately, Kang Yiyi didn't care for the wealth.

She came from the great Kang family, almost yet not as powerful as the Zhou family.

Among those ladies whose hearts fluttered, Xiao Yunhua felt her heart fluttering too.

Albeit hers thumped for a completely different reason.

She slowly turned around and her honey-colored eyes met with Zhou Ming's dark colored ones.

Yet unlike what she expected, there was no reaction.

It was almost like they didn't know each other, not even as acquaintances.

Even strangers would've felt some type of empathy, yet by the look in his dark, endless pool of obsidian, it was like she was just another insignificant person in this world. Like she wasn't worthy in comparison to he—someone these people deemed as perfect as a Greek god.

Not knowing whether to feel relieved or not, she shook her head and quickly left, slamming the door behind her.

She left the still-stunned Qiang Yue, along with the rest of the Zhou family who believed she was a stain in their perfect little lives.

In their eyes, along with every guest in that room, she was the evil woman.

She was the one who dared to dream and vie for the great status that the Zhou family seems to hold.

She was nothing but a seductress that should be burned with the flames of karma.

After all, they would've never stopped and thought of it from her perspective.

She was merely a commoner desiring for something that was not to be bestowed upon her in this lifetime.

But only Xiao Yunhua knew the truth.
