C269 Familiar strangers

After that, Qin Xu was no longer in the mood to listen to what the unfamiliar owner had said.

Ye ming Xin hurriedly left the hospital three days ago. Her family had also sold her house at a low price, and now, she had disappeared.

Qin Xu knew that Ye ming Xin was doing this to avoid him, but... He was completely unprepared. Ye ming Xin would use this kind of method to avoid him — with a decisiveness that made it seem as if they were completely unrelated to each other …

With that last glimmer of hope, he dialed Chu Xiaoxiao's number, hoping to get news of Ye ming Xin from her. However, Chu Xiaoxiao was completely unaware of the matter regarding Ye ming Xin's family moving.

Qin Xu started to become depressed, his chest was suddenly filled with a sense of loss, as though he had lost something important.

In the end, under the gaze of the unfamiliar house master, he left the area where Ye ming Xin was.

Regardless of whether he was willing to accept it or not, Ye ming Xin had indeed left.

Perhaps she was no longer in Z City, or even in the country … The world is so big that they might never see each other again in this life …

If he had known earlier, that day at the hospital was his last time with Ye ming Xin, he would have said his goodbyes to Ye ming Xin — —

He would apologize and explain that, whether or not she would eventually forgive him, he would at least tell her that apart from the first time they met, he had never treated her like anyone else in his life after that …

Unfortunately, it was too late now.

Time would not stop just because of regret. Just when Qin Xu realized that Ye ming Xin had moved away, not long after, it was time for his brother and Chu Xiaoxiao to study abroad.

That day, Qin Xu personally sent them to the airport.

He watched from a distance as the plane took off. Surprisingly, he did not feel reluctant to part with it. Instead, he felt more relieved.

In that moment, as if he suddenly realized something, he actually let go of his obsession with Chu Xiaoxiao.

His secret love, which could not be exposed to the light, suddenly moved away from him …

Although in the following days, Qin Xu would still think of Chu Xiaoxiao occasionally, after half a year, the person he thought of every midnight would gradually become Ye ming Xin.

When Ye ming Xin had appeared more and more often in his dreams, even though she was troubled in the beginning, Qin Xu did not take it to heart. After all, he was extremely guilty towards Ye ming Xin's disfigurement, and it was normal for him to dream about her a few times at night.

But before Qin Xu could figure out the reason for his regret, he remembered that Ye ming Xin was no longer around, and as if he was hiding from him, he ran far away from him like a plague god.

Qin Xu suddenly became agitated again. He started to hate to dream about and remember anything related to Ye ming Xin.

In order to fully divert his attention, Qin Xu threw himself into his work with all his heart. Every day, he would be busy enough to no longer have the energy to think about anything else besides his work.

Qin Xu perfectly inherited his father's business acumen and also worked diligently. In less than two years, he had followed his father's wishes and smoothly carried out new reforms within the Qin’s Insurance, successfully increasing the annual profit of Qin’s Insurance by thirty percent.

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, it had already been five years since his brother Qin Chengqi left the country to study abroad.

During these five years, Qin Chengqi and Chu Xiaoxiao had always stayed abroad to do research and every year, they would only return a few times during New Year's Eve. And in these five years, by relying on his own strength, Qin Xu officially went from the Qin’s Insurance COO to become the CEO of the Qin’s Main Group, as well as the operations of the Prime Minister's Qin’s.

Because Qin Xu was too capable, he gave up his position in advance and quit managing Qin’s. Afterwards, he traveled the world with his wife Lin Xi.

In the five years of time, everyone seemed to have forgotten about the incident that happened during that vacation five years ago. It was only when Qin Xu suddenly received a call from his big brother, Qin Chengqi, saying that he would be returning to their country together with Chu Xiaoxiao in the next few days.

That night, Qin Xu once again dreamed of Ye ming Xin and Chu Xiaoxiao …

Due to the dream he had last night, Qin Xu was unable to sleep well the whole night. When he arrived at the company the next day, he felt a little low pressure.

The staff of the company observed the situation and saw that their CEO was in a bad mood today. They tactfully put in all their energy to work, afraid that the CEO would take the opportunity to kick them out if they were to meet with bad luck.

It was also because of this that the entire company, especially the floor where the CEO's office was located, had staff members trembling with fear all day.

The reason why the employees under Qin Xu were afraid of him was not because he was usually too harsh on management, but because of his cold and aloof nature, which made him seem harsh.

In fact, calling Qin Xu cold had wronged him.

When he first came to the main company, although Qin Xu's employees could not be considered friendly, as long as it was someone he had met before, he would nod and greet them whenever he saw one. He would even occasionally smile at them when he was in a good mood.

It was just that Qin Xu had underestimated his charm.

The handsome and rich CEO smiled at the female staff. It was as if she was actively releasing hormones.

Very quickly, a majority of the female employees in the entire main company had all fallen into enemy's hands. Some of them even thought that Qin Xu's smile towards them was because he found her interesting and was hinting at something …

Only when the female employees bumped into him did Qin Xu realize the seriousness of the situation.

He did not reject office romance, but in recent years his focus had been on work and he was not interested in reopening a relationship for the time being. Women's enthusiasm for him would not only affect him, but also the company's business.

As a result, after that, Qin Xu did not take the initiative to greet the employees anymore. He started to distance himself from the employees intentionally, and that was how he developed the cold temperament, which was able to repel people a thousand miles away.

The head office staff trembled in fear and trepidation for the whole day. Although the president did not look any better, he still waited for them to get off work. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and quickly finished what they were doing and left the company.

Qin Xu also knew that he didn't look too good today, which scared all of his colleagues in the company.

He also knew that he shouldn't have brought his emotions into the company, but perhaps because of that dream last night, he really couldn't muster up any energy today …

In these past thirty years, the thing he didn't want to talk about the most was that he had a crush on Chu Xiaoxiao, and that Ye ming Xin had disfigured his face in front of him — but last night, he had actually dreamed about it all …

Qin Xu impatiently drank all the coffee in the cup in front of him, then closed his eyes and started to adjust his emotions.

After a while, he still had a business meeting to attend and a business meeting to discuss. His current expression was clearly inappropriate.

After a while, when Qin Xu opened his eyes again, all the negative emotions on his face had been suppressed by, and his face had returned to its usual indifference.

He raised his head and looked at the time. Seeing that it was about time, he picked up his jacket, took the private elevator downstairs, and hurried towards the royal ball.

When Qin Xu arrived at the party, it was neither early nor late, but when he arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

In the past few years, Qin Xu had long learnt how to deal with business like a fish in the water.

After getting the cooperation he wanted today, Qin Xu became a little impatient and continued to pester at the royal ball.

He was not in a good mood today, and restraining himself until now was already not easy, especially after he had sent two women over to chat with him.

He impatiently put down the wine cup in his hand and was about to turn around and leave, when he was suddenly hit by someone before he could turn around.

The other party was impartial and coincidentally bumped into the wine cup that he had just put down. There was still half a cup of wine in the cup and the wine was spilled, staining Qin Xu's clothes with dirt.

Qin Xu frowned.

He was already in a bad mood. Now that his clothes had been stained by someone, he turned around and wanted to investigate who it was that ran into him. However, when he turned around and saw the other party, he was stunned.

Ye ming Xin?!

Qin Xu almost wanted to shout out in shock, but he quickly realised that he was only seeing things, and recognised the wrong person. The person in front of him looked similar to Ye ming Xin, but he was definitely not Ye ming Xin.

Although he hadn't been with Ye ming Xin for a long time, he would definitely recognize Ye ming Xin's appearance.

As for the woman who accidentally bumped into him, it was just that under the dim light, she looked like Ye ming Xin from a certain angle, or could be said that she looked similar to Chu Xiaoxiao …

But perhaps because of this similarity, Qin Xu felt a strange sense of familiarity towards the woman in front of him. He had originally prepared to pursue the topic, but in the end, he did not speak of it.

As for the person who bumped into him, when he saw the alcohol dirtying his clothes, he immediately apologized embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

Qin Xu looked at her again, and replied: "It's alright."

The familiarity he felt from the woman in front of him had unconsciously aroused his good impression again. Qin Xu suddenly felt that the alcohol on his clothes didn't matter anymore.

"What's your name?" he suddenly asked.

Qin Xu did not know what happened to him, but he suddenly wanted to know his name.

The lady in front of her raised her eyebrows and answered: "My name is Ye Anne."

"Ye? Your surname is Ye as well? " Qin Xu's heart seemed to have been moved by something.

"What is it? Can't I be surnamed Ye? " After Ye Anne heard this, she asked Qin Xu.

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly so that the expression on her face could not be seen.

"Of course not," Qin Xu shook his head, his gaze still staring at half of Ye Anne's face, he said, "It's just, you suddenly reminded me of a friend with the same surname Ye, that's all."
