074: Highschool Reunion (2)

Chen Yiling and Hu Yiran, together with their husbands, Fu Guren and Xue Xingju, came over to meet Yue Xuexia, but were surprised by the scene of a god-like handsome man standing beside a fairy-like gorgeous lady. Moreover, their clothing is obviously paired.

Hu Yiran is as honest with her mouth as always and spoke out, "Wow~ a God and a Goddess in flesh!"

Pinched.

Chen Yiling pinched Hu Yiran's waist, making her shriek in pain.

"Ouch! Why pinch me, Yiyi!?" Hu Yiran asked in a complaining tone.

Chen Yiling responded, "I wanted to know if it's real."

"Then pinch yourself! Ow. Ow," Hu Yiran said.

Xu Xingju approached his wife and asked, "Wifey, are you alright?"

"I'm hurting, Hubby~" Hu Yiran said as she hugged her husband.

It was then that Yue Xuexia noticed the arrival of the group.

Yue Xuexia said, "You guys have arrived. Come in and rest for a bit. There are still a few minutes before the party begins."

When the four of them walked into the Presidential Suite, they were taken aback by the decor. They were able to recognized certain stuff inside the room because they were from a relatively wealthy household. The transformation was finished, and Yue Xuexia restored the living room to its original state.

They were seated next to their partners in the living room. Hu Yiran and Chen Yiling were forced to look at the man next to Yue Xuexia. It is been a long time since we have seen a man this exceptional and attractive. His face instead accentuates Yue Xuexia, who is sitting next to her and is really beautiful. It is not just that he is getting older.

Although Yue Xuexia has a cold, aloof manner, this man complements Yue Xuexia perfectly with his powerful presence and regal aura. They appear to be the ideal couple. Their appearances, demeanors, and energies are complementary to each other.

Chen Yiling gathered enough courage and asked, "Xiaxia, may we ask who the gentleman beside you is?"

"Oh, him. He is my escort for tonight. A friend," Yue Xuexia said.

"My name is Jueyang. I'm the older brother of Xue'er's male assistant Tai Yang. The younger siblings of Xue'er asked my younger brother to protect her at tonight's party. So here I am. I will be here as an escort and bodyguard for tonight. Not let Xue'er get bullied at all," Shen Jueyang said.

Chen Yiling and Hi Yiran realized immediately why this man was there. They were aware that Yue Jixia was aware of the specifics of the previous incident involving Yue Xuexia and Sui Lengya. One of the most memorable moments of their high school years was when Yue Jixia slapped Cui Ruru's face in front of everyone as a result of that incident.

Chen Yiling nodded her head in understanding. "Then it's better to introduce Sir Tai here as Xiaxia's boyfriend instead. Cui Ruru had forced Sui to bring her over after hearing that you were coming."

"Sorry. That was my mistake. I got drunk that night and spilled about your attendance. Xiaxia, I'm really sorry. But that bitch hasn't changed at all. She is still a bitch even after marrying that stupid man!" Hu Yiran said.

Xu Xingju commented, "Isn't it better that Lengya is married? At least he wouldn't have any reason to approach Miss Yue. Also, with Sir Tai beside her, all those other men interested in her will not be able to approach. More than that, you should introduce your husband, Yiling."

"Ah, yes. Xiaxia, Sir Tai. This is my husband, Fu Guren," Chen Yiling said.

His wife had already told Fu Guren everything there was to know about Yue Xuexia. He was also aware that she had saved her during the auction, to which he had neglected to go with her. She had an incident as well, but luckily Yue Xuexia was there to save her. He took a gift out of his pocket. Inside is a little box that appears to be a bracelet.

That day, it was the Crimson Cloud Auction House's Jade Amulet Bracelet Auction. Only four had been purchased by Taiyang and Yue Xuexia, and Yue Xuexia lacked a protective one. Yue Xuexia discovers that Chen Yiling's husband is probably a cultivator after seeing another one that was given as a gift.

Shen Jueyang said, "This thing is precious even for you. Are you sure you are giving it away?"

"I already have enough for me and my wife. Moreover, Miss Yue saved my wife that day. This is my token of gratitude. I hope you accept," Fu Guren said.

Chen Yiling, next to Fu Guren, appeared a little uneasy. She worries that her friend could turn down a present like this. Her spouse has already expounded upon the magnificence of this amulet. That day, there are not many set auctions. She was unable to obtain one for herself. That day, when she got home, she told her husband everything. Without delay, he sought out the other purchasers of this amulet and ultimately purchased three.

Since Yue Xuexia desired this item the most in that auction, two were set aside for them, and the additional was meant as a present. They spent a lot of money to purchase this, but it is still deserving of Yue Xuexia's generosity.

The present was accepted as planned. After accepting the present, Shen Jueyang assisted Yue Xuexia in putting it on her wrist. The red jade goes beautifully with her crimson evening.

Yue Xuexia said, "I owe your family once. You may contact Tan Bingyu for the rest."

The couple, Fu Guren and Chen Yiling, were delighted after achieving their goal. Shen Jueyang was also relieved to have this amulet on Yue Xuexia. That day, when she was almost assassinated in front of him, he was helpless, as he didn't have any physical body that could last for too long and accompany her or protect her. His current body is made to be temporary, allowing him to appear in the mortal realm, but it doesn't last long. It can only exist for a few hours before it disappears again.

Hu Yiran didn't notice much about the conversation that happened between the people in the room. Xu Xingju thought otherwise and realized that there was something else that Yue Xuexia held aside from her wealth. It was something that involves the secret of the Chen family and a problem that can be solved with Yue Xuexia getting personally involved.

Xu Xingju pretended not to hear anything and said, "It's almost time. We should get going now."

"That's right. It's almost eight. Those people would have gathered in the Royal Hall by now. We should go," Hu Yiran said.

While they are preparing to leave for the Royal Hall, in the said hall itself, people from the batch of graduates, which includes Hu Yiran and the rest,. Also, most of those who were worried brought their wives and husbands with them. Among the married men, Sui Lengya was forced to marry his wife, Cui Ruru.

After Yue Xuexia learned what he did that night, she was so angry and was almost hospitalized. She broke up with him and never spoke to her until they split up after graduation. On graduation night, he once again made a mistake after drinking too much, and the result was worse than the French kiss he had before breaking up with Yue Xuexia. He ended up sleeping with Cui Ruru and getting pregnant. Because of this event, he had no heart to pursue Yue Xuexia and had no choice but to accept his fate.

Cui Ruru is indeed a beauty, but compared to Yue Xuexia, she can only be considered an average beauty. She isn't smart like him, and her grades are worse than his. Her only advantage is that her family is quite rich, like his. Their families immediately agreed to their union, and they got married after Cui Ruru gave birth to their first son.

Unfortunately, Cui Ruru's real personality comes out after living together as a married couple. She is vain, loves to get jealous of anyone, and possesses princess syndrome. If not for the existence of their son, he would most likely divorce her already. After graduation, Yue Xuexia completely cut him off from her life. He knows that Yue Xuexia has a clear line for her likes and dislikes. Those whom she dislikes will never exist in her world anymore.

He could still see her at events like the debuts of Chen Yiling and Hu Yiran before the relationship between the three got stranger and faded with time. No matter what happened, he couldn't forget about Yue Xuexia. This reunion was organized by Xu Xingju at his instigation. His friend, Xu Xingju, warned him that Yue Xuexia might not come and to keep in mind his current marital status. He is a married man, after all. Even if Yue Xuexia agrees to attend the reunion, they can never have a relationship like before. Even so, he still wanted to see her. Thus, the reunion had been planned.

Actually, no one knew how to contact Yue Xuexia. Whether it was a coincidence or fate that she and Chen Yiling met and once again reunited, Yue Xuexia's presence in this reunion had been sealed. Sui Lengya heard from Xu Xingju that he had met Yue Xuexia together with his wife, Hu Yiran, and Chen Yiling. She is doing well. Pretty well, actually. He didn't tell him about her relationship and only told him that she was alright now.

A part of reflection before the Reunion Party:

Xu Xingju told him, "Leng, Yue Xuexia is no longer the same. She changed. A completely different person. I warned you alright. If you are bringing your wife with you, hold her back. You guys might not be able to bear the consequences of you offending her this time."

Sui Lengya was wearing a white suit and sitting at the bar, drinking with his other friends. Among their circle of friends, a lot of them had actually gotten married. He is one, and Xu Xingju is another. There are also a few bachelors in the crowd who brought their lovers. On the other hand, he was forced by his wife to bring her over.

His attitude had deteriorated, primarily due to Cui Ruru's egocentric nature. Although he had no intention of inviting her over, she must have heard from his acquaintance about the reunion and been aware that Yue Xuexia would be stopping by. He was forced to bring her over. Cui Ruru is dressed for a glamorous evening in a laced, nearly transparent white gown. She was also made to wear this white suit against her will. He was quite worn out. His marital situation is terrible.

"Leng, I heard from Xu that this hotel had been arranged by Yue Xuexia. Do you believe it?"

"But isn't her family not that wealthy? Compared to our family, her family is not much at all."

"Maybe it's a lie, but this is Xu we are talking about. It mustn't be a lie."

"Isn't she coming to attend this reunion? I wonder if she is still as beautiful as before."

"Well~ if she is well maintained like Cui Ruru, maybe~ hahaha."

Annoyed by the selfish remarks of his friends, Sui Lengya couldn't help but get pissed. "Enough. Is this how you act in a reunion where former classmates meet? If you are so amazing, then reserve this royal hall yourself. You're an adult yourself while you are acting like the money you have is something you earn but something your family gave you!"

"Come on, Leng. We are joking."

"I think you are drunk. How about calming down for a while?"

All of a sudden, a loud commotion happened at the entrance of the Royal Hall. Xu Xingju and Hu Yiran appeared arm-in-arm. These two were still as sticky as before. Their clothes were intentionally a couple's clothes. Xu Xingju is wearing a navy blue three-piece suit, and Hu Yiran is wearing a navy blue off-shoulder cocktail dress.

Following behind is the couple, Chen Yiling and her husband, Fu Guren, a rich young master himself. It was rumored that his family was richer than the Chen Clan. This couple is a bit low-key. Chen Yiling wore a single-color column beige dress, and beside her, Fu Guren is wearing a brown suit that matches Yiling's dress pretty well but is not as flamboyant as the first couple.

But what caught everyone's attention wasn't these two couples, but the couple walking behind them. After all, as soon as this couple arrived, the hotel staff waiting at the door personally laid a red carpet for them. Moreover, the face, presence, and aura this couple possessed are majestic. As if a real noble had arrived in the hall.

The man was born with refined and sharp features; his fox eyes were alluring, yet the depths of those golden eyes were arrogant. It was as if the emperor had personally lowered himself to show himself in front of his people. Beside him, holding his arm, is a lady with a perfect figure and face. Those phoenix-shaped eyes almost hook away their souls, but when they see the coldness within those eyes, they can't help but lower their heads. It was as if they didn't have the right to look into the goddess's eyes, as they weren't worth it.

"What the hell? Is that gorgeous lady in red really Yue Xuexia!?"
