Chapter 17 : Meeting the past crush.

"Classmate Jiang."

A husky , baritone voice sounded with a gentle tone as if wrapped in a pot of honey. The voice was steady with clear enunciations reflecting the owner's laid-back yet easy going persona.

Jiang XueYue and Yan Yixing both turned to look at the owner of the voice at the same time, curiosity clear in their same big dark eyes as those shone with purity forming an endearing image.

Wen Huosheng grinned in amazement at the sight of adorable pair of teenage girl and the child.

"Yes?" Jiang XueYue stood up before answering with an speculative tone non-verbally asking the newcomer about his sudden appearance in front of them.

She knew this person,he was the one in her photo gallery, the previous owner's school crush. Jiang XueYue observed the young man in front of her discreetly, careful not to come out impolite yet the curiousity took over her.

The young man was around 186 cm tall, taller then Jiang XueYue by a head. The youngsters complexion was quite fair,his silhouette lean and slender as he stood straight. The man had gentle but defined features making the man give off valiant aura. What stood out the most was his obsidian dark eyes , twinkling with countless tiny flickers of light.

The persons eyes was not particularly entrancing yet they were unusually profound with a alleviating energy to them.

Wen Huosheng was clad in a beige colour trench coat which reached just below his knees with a navy blue thick sweater underneath and black denims which were just the right fit,neither too tight nor too loose as they accentuated his long legs with grace.

"Hello,how are you. Long time no see."

"Indeed"

Jiang XueYue greeted back before giving an indifferent answer. She could muster no familiarity or closeness towards the man who she strangely was meeting for the very first time after her rebirth.

However,this man held a special identity for the past Jiang XueYue thus she chose to remain neutral to this man as any closeness will only lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

"It's good to see you after so long,the teacher did inform us of your leave due to health issues. Hope you are recovering well so far."

Wen Huosheng replied with a light tone neither servile nor domineering , despite the other person's lack of emotion. He was just showing concern towards an injured classmate which was what a rational person would do in such a situation.

"Second young master Wen, glad to see you."

An extremely cold voice sounded contrasting to the owner's pleasantry . Mo Sicheng stood beside Jiang XueYue as he stared straight in the young man's eyes with his icy ones.

"Big brother Mo."

Wen Huosheng quickly accosted with a surprised face , finding the duo infront of him sudden yet compatible. The pair of man and woman stood closely together with the same callousness in their sharp eyes despite the warm curve on their lips.

The Mo family and the Wen family were actually relatives as the daughter of Wen family was married to the second Master of the Mo family,who was also Mo Sicheng's second aunt.Hence, the families met on several occasions, especially the children who were close to each other.

"We still have the child waiting for us,see you around. Please excuse us."

Mo Sicheng said with gallantry before turning to walk back towards their seat which was about two metres a distance,while passing one cup to Jiang XueYue.

It was very rare for one to meet the First young master of the Mo family,even the relatives got to see him on special festivals only. The first young master,was the heir of the Mo family followed the elder's of the family in military all round the year. Which explained Wen Huosheng's surprise finding him at the mall with pink cups of fruit tea in his hands.

What a sight to behold.

Jiang XueYue nodded in acknowledgement at Wen Huosheng as she followed after Mo Sicheng.

Wen Huosheng was stuck with a sudden realisation as he watched the receding figures of the couple.

Weren't the Mo and Jiang family said to be in an marriage alliance set by the their grandparents. Surely!

The Old Masters of both the families used to fight alongside each other in the wars that took place in the time of mass struggle leading them to form companionship of decades. Which was after the years turned into a promise of a marriage alliance.

This fact was not known to the general public. Wen Huosheng was only aware because the the relation between the Mo family and the Wen family.

Wen Huosheng shrugged and walked away with his mango pearl milk tea, not pondering over the matter anymore.

Jiang XueYue was enjoying her fruit tea when she recieved a call from Jiang Xuesheng. He told them not to wait any longer and go on about their shopping as their group was stuck with something and would arrive a bit later.

Jiang XueYue discussed with Mo Sicheng before they went to the child's clothing section to get clothes for the little girl.

The child eagerly looked around the place filled with varying clothes and colours as Jiang Xueyue helped her choose accordingly. Mo Sicheng quietly walked behind the girls , showing close to zero interest , only speaking a word or two when asked as they walked around.

It was only after they had already gotten three dresses for Yan Yixing when Jiang Xuesheng and the group arrived with clear annoyance on each of their faces with varying degrees.

" What's going on? "

Jiang XueYue asked with a worried mein, faced with the groups not so good expression. The group decided to halt the shopping spree for a while as they discussed over the matter.

"We met grandma and aunt at the entrance and had an argument which ended up taking so much of the time."

It was clear that it was their maternal grandmother and aunt in the context ,as they were from the very few people who could make the family lose their temper to such a level.
