Her boyfriend

South Bridge returned to the apartment with Zhan Xin. They slept for the whole day and only woke up in the evening.

Zhan Xin saw that her expression wasn't good, so she probed, "Nan Qiao, when I went to pick you up, I saw you coming back by yourself. I was worried that I would become your electric light bulb."

"You, do you miss me alone, or the two of us?" Zhan Xin didn't pursue the matter and poured some milk for her. She then said, "You left before us, so why do you look worse than me?"

Nanqiao's eyes drooped, and he rubbed his forehead. "Perhaps the time difference hasn't been reversed. There's a banquet tonight, so come with me."

"Banquet?"

As far as Zhan Xin knew, there were a lot of friends in South Bridge who could afford to have a party, but very few could hold a dinner party.

The most likely possibility was that …

Yu Cen Ran!

This won't do. Zhan Xin must ask Nanqiao, just what kind of attitude does she have towards Yu Cen Ran? Why did she come back and not say a word to Yu Cen Ran?

"Zhan Xin, can you help me grab the bathrobe?"

"Oh? "Alright."

Zhan Xin found a bathrobe and handed it over to Nan Qiao. She asked worriedly, "Nan Qiao, what kind of banquet is it tonight? "Say it so that I'm prepared to see what I can wear."

Nanqiao had soaked himself in the bathtub, and his emotions were complicated. In front of his eyes, there were endless silhouettes overlapping each other. They were his boyfriend's and Yu Cen Ran's …

She took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you want to see my boyfriend?" "My family's Xinxin looks good in anything, so you don't have to worry about it."

The important part was the first one, South Bridge's boyfriend?

"Who's your boyfriend?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

As South Bridge was selling off his suspense, Zhan Xin felt slightly more relaxed. South Bridge was a guy that cherished old times. If she were to introduce a boyfriend, she would probably be the same as before.

However —

Who was that man in a blue striped suit standing in front of the resplendent entrance to the hotel when the lights were on?

He was not Yu Cen Ran.

Zhan Xin followed beside the South Bridge, a little confused. Before she could even ask, the South Bridge by her side grabbed her skirt and quickly walked over.

Huo Ting held onto South Bridge's hand, his handsome face clear and elegant like jade. He looked at her warm smile, kissed the back of her hand, and said, "Nan Nan, you've come."

"Hmm, how is it? "Is it going smoothly?" Nanqiao chatted with him familiarly. The two of them seemed to be in harmony.

Nanqiao wore a black evening dress with a neck and shoulders cut. Her hair was tied back in a quirky bun, and her long earrings were reflected by her faintly discernible collarbone. She was incredibly beautiful.

The others thought her beautiful, and only she knew she was wearing it to hide the kiss in the middle of her collarbone.

Zhan Xin was stunned.

South Bridge had been abroad for a few years, so what had happened?

And then …

"Young Master Yu is here!"

Someone reminded Huo Ting by his ear.

Huo Ting hugged the South Bridge, looking overjoyed. He turned around and let go of the South Bridge to welcome it.

Behind the South Bridge, someone was discussing in a low voice.

"Speaking of Yu Cen Ran, he was once a nameless kid who founded his own business empire at the age of twenty-seven. He was merciless when it came to dealing with matters. In a blink of an eye, three years passed and he's even more amazing now!"

"Isn't that so? Now, we can hear Young Master Yu's name wherever we go, the Yu Family isn't easy to deal with! "

Nanqiao felt a headache coming on and wanted to turn around to enter, but Huo Ting suddenly called out to her.

"This is my girlfriend, Nan Qiao, and this is Yu Shaoran!"

"Hello, my name is South Bridge." The South Bridge stretched out his hand.

Yu Cen Ran would never have thought that the South Bridge would one day be unable to recognize him. She leaned on the arms of another man and extended her hand towards him with a smile, saying "hello" to strangers.

He felt as if his heart had been cut.

But he must not lose decorum or face.

"Hello." Yu Cen Ran held back the South Bridge. With a light touch, she loosened her grip and didn't look at her again.

This was a surprise to South Bridge.

"This is Young Master Yu's fiancee, Miss Xue Yuwei!"

Huo Ting continued to introduce.

Nanqiao's beautiful eyes narrowed as she sized up Xue Yuwei. From the moment Xue Yuwei got off the car, her gaze had always been filled with ridicule and scrutiny. What an unpleasant married couple. As South Bridge thought of this, she still greeted Xue Yuwei.

The four of them entered the hotel one after another.

Zhan Xin watched from the side, her heart in her throat. Seeing her performance on the south bridge, she did not seem to be putting on an act. Rather, she did not remember that Yu Cen Ran who loved her to the bones anymore. In fact, her eyes were even filled with hatred.

She did not know how she could not hate the South Bridge. She had no memory of Yu Cen Ran, and was completely unfamiliar with him. However, in her confusion, he had taken her away for the first time!

The banquet began.

The reason why Huo Ting arranged for the welcoming banquet to be held on the second day after his return from the British experiential learning was also because he wanted to take over as the president of the Huo Corporation and make more friends at the banquet.

The one who spoke up on the stage was his boyfriend. Looking at his high-spirited appearance, for some reason, South Bridge had never felt so depressed before. After Huo Ting finished his speech, she pulled Zhan Xin to a nearby dining area to avoid Yu Cen Ran's gaze.

She could feel a cold gaze on her. Who else could it be other than Yu Cen Ran?

Zhan Xin's heart ached. While nibbling on her cake, she tried to test the South Bridge. "South Bridge, do you know that person over there?"

"You know him?"

For some reason, South Bridge felt like she was suffocating, and even her tone of voice became impatient. She immediately asked, causing Zhan Xin to be stunned. Zhan Xin licked her lips and smiled. "Of course I do. There's no one in our city who doesn't know Young Master Yu."

"I hate him." Nanqiao said in all seriousness.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I hate him when I see him."

Zhan Xin panicked. Nan Qiao hated Yu Cen Ran. What was the point of this?

"South Bridge!"

"South Bridge!"

"South Bridge?"

Zhan Xin was the first to speak, followed by Huo Ting. To their surprise, Yu Cen Ran also called for South Bridge.

Xue Yuwei, who was standing beside Yu Cen Ran, smiled meaningfully at this scene. If she did not call Yu Cen Ran and tell him that the South Bridge would be attending the banquet tonight, he would still be with that Gu Qiao.

Compared to Gu Yi, the South Bridge in front of him was the strongest opponent. Xue Yuwei originally had the guts to let Yu Cen Ran meet with Nanqiao. She didn't expect that Nanqiao was actually the girlfriend of the Huo Family's eldest young master. Furthermore, she seemed to have forgotten about Yu Cen Ran.

It couldn't be better.

The South Bridge felt like a prey that was surrounded by a group of hunters. Other than Zhan Xin, who had been her best friend for many years, the rest of the people were filled with a sense of conquest.

She didn't know who to answer.

"Why don't we dance?"

The music started. Xue Yuwei was the first to break the stalemate, but she raised her hand in the direction of Huo Ting.
