56: Chapter 0056: Once, Now 56: Chapter 0056: Once, Now In a presidential suite within the Hilton Hotel, Su Guyan, having freshly done her hair and calmly dressed up, sat rigidly on the sofa like a schoolchild.
Her exquisitely maintained hands, ever so slightly shaking, grasped the cell phone, as she tried her utmost to project an air of calm, nonchalance and poise.
But her overly tense emotions rendered her smile somewhat stiff and her voice somewhat unnatural, “Can you come out?”
To make this call, Su Guyan had started preparing hours ago, picking up the phone then putting it down, tormenting herself back and forth numerous times.
Although Ye Xunhuan had promised to accompany her yesterday, he hadn’t sought her out all day today, which made her feel very uneasy inside, thinking that perhaps Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to see her due to the incident from years ago and that his promise to accompany her was just an excuse.
She wanted to see Ye Xunhuan, yet she feared he might choose not to meet her, and even more so, she feared he might be angry with her!
It could be said that Su Guyan was utterly tormented within her heart about making this call to Ye Xunhuan.
But in the end, the desire to see him overcame the fear in her heart, prompting her to make the call.
Ye Xunhuan fell into a moment of silence, glancing at Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong, truly unsure how to respond, whether to reject or accept!
If he were to accept, then what about Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong?
After all, they had just arrived.
But if he were to refuse, then perhaps Su Guyan might be heartbroken?
But what if he didn’t refuse?
Finally, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, “Sorry, I have some things today, I might not be able to come out!”
Upon hearing these words from Ye Xunhuan, Su Guyan felt as though her world had turned pitch black, those eyes previously bright as the full moon now seemed obscured by clouds blocking their pristine moonlight, slowly dimming, while her complexion turned pale.
Even after so many years, he was still angry with her, still harboring resentment…
But upon reflection, she thought, if the roles were reversed, wouldn’t she possibly hate him too?
One has to suffer the consequences of one’s own actions!
No sooner had Ye Xunhuan’s words ended than Qiu Shuihan immediately said, “Xunhuan, if you are busy, go ahead, don’t mind us…”
“Enough of that, if I tell you to be busy, then be busy,” Qiu Shuihan said sternly.
“A man should prioritize his own affairs, and besides, we’re not leaving today!”
With Qiu Shuihan saying this, what more could Ye Xunhuan say?
Yet at that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with bitterness; if he knew that the person he was going to meet was his first love, the woman he couldn’t let go of, would he still let him go?
Ye Xunhuan took another breath and said to Su Guyan, who still hadn’t hung up, “Where are you now, I’ll come over later!”
Su Guyan, who had been pale-faced and lost, suddenly lit up with unprecedented excitement upon hearing these words, “Really…
Upon hearing that Ye Xunhuan would come over, Su Guyan’s voice inexplicably trembled as she tried hard to disguise it!
can I wait for you at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel?” Su Guyan’s voice was filled with a pleading tone never heard before.
Soon after, Ye Xunhuan ended the phone call without saying more!
After hanging up, Ye Xunhuan looked apologetically at Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan, “Mom and Dad, you see, you just arrived, and I…”
“Go attend to your business!” Xiahou Yutong said gently, “There’s nothing wrong with your dad and me, and besides, isn’t Ruoxi with us?”
“All right then, mom and dad, I’m heading out.
I’ll come back a bit earlier!”
“No worries, no worries!”
After leaving the villa, Ye Xunhuan got into his car and drove straight to the Hilton Hotel.
Throughout the journey, Ye Xunhuan appeared to be somewhat dispirited.
In his heart, Su Guyan was like a thorn deeply embedded at his core; normally it didn’t hurt him, but whenever someone mentioned her or even touched on the subject lightly, the pain inside him would become unbearable!
He couldn’t forget her, yet he also knew clearly that he and Su Guyan couldn’t possibly be together anymore.
She was married now, and her husband was not someone to be taken lightly.
Before he knew it, Ye Xunhuan had driven to the Hilton Hotel, and soon a striking voice caught his attention.
Today, Su Guyan wore a white dress that just covered her knees, revealing her white, smooth, slender legs in the air, dazzling and translucent.
Her beautiful white sandals with exquisitely painted toenails in carmine contrasted against her fair skin, like blossoms of winter plum in the snow, shockingly gorgeous and extremely tempting!
The originally wavy hair was straightened that day, casually draping over her shoulders.
The reason Su Guyan straightened her wavy hair was because she knew Ye Xunhuan liked women with long hair draped over their shoulders, he found it beautiful!
Long hair draped over her shoulders, tall with long legs, a slender waist, and a chest majestically towering…
All this made Su Guyan breathtakingly beautiful!
Upon seeing Su Guyan dressed up , Ye Xunhuan’s expression suddenly became dreamy.
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan’s thoughts seemed to travel back to several years ago.
There were times when she dressed , standing at some street corner, some place, waiting for him with a smile, waiting for him to come to her!
This scene was so like the past!
But soon after, Ye Xunhuan came back to his senses, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
Although Su Guyan’s attire resembled the past, Ye Xunhuan knew that they could never return to those times.
Sometimes, a miss is destined to last a lifetime.
That was the case for him and Su Guyan.
After parking the car, Ye Xunhuan rolled down the window and said to Su Guyan, “Get in the car!”
When Su Guyan saw Ye Xunhuan driving a BMW, she was not at all surprised; in her heart, this man was incredibly outstanding.
As long as he wished, becoming a top executive was no problem at all.
After getting into the car, the smile on Su Guyan’s face grew even richer!
“Where are we heading?” Ye Xunhuan asked, exhaling a dense puff of smoke as he looked at Su Guyan.
“I’ll follow your lead!” Su Guyan said with a smile, her voice as delicate as water and very gentle.
This tender voice seemed to wash away all troubles, all sorrows!
Everything was so similar to the past, still the same, always listening to him!
But Ye Xunhuan knew, it was no longer the past!
Ye Xunhuan didn’t say anything else and directly drove away from the front of the Hilton Hotel.
Neither Ye Xunhuan nor Su Guyan noticed that just after they left the Hilton Hotel, a black sedan that had been parked by the side immediately followed them!
