Chapter 160: Chapter 0160: Could it be Squad Leader Chu’s Husband?
The so-called class reunion was nothing more than rich people flaunting their wealth, and influential people flaunting their power.
Even those struggling with academia would deliberately mention their achievements in certain academic fields in an understated manner, positioning themselves as above the fray in comparison to most people.
Of course, some attended hoping to address past emotional regrets.
Lan Zhu was a high-end private club in Jiangzhong City.
When Ye Xunhuan arrived at Lan Zhu, it was almost eight o’clock.
Since Mu Tiange had called Ye Xunhuan earlier, Ye Xunhuan knew their gathering was on the third floor of Lan Zhu and headed straight there.
Upon reaching the third floor, he saw several maturely dressed men and women at the entrance, chatting away lightheartedly amidst their greetings; in the lobby, others were gathered in small groups.
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but stop in his tracks and seriously scanned the hall, thinking about how it had been almost ten years since he had last seen these people. Many had changed so much, he could hardly recognize them!
And in these past ten years, Ye Xunhuan had experienced some of his most unforgettable days.
During this time, he had gone through countless situations that most people would never encounter in a lifetime, whether it be pain or glory. Under the long river of years, all had become the past.
As Ye Xunhuan stood there, watching everyone happily chatting in the hall, a sudden fragrance approached, followed by the sound of high heels hitting the floor, prompting Ye Xunhuan to involuntarily turn his head.
He saw a stylishly dressed and gorgeous woman walking toward the hall, her large wavy hair, enticing phoenix eyes slightly tinged with seduction, probably capturing many souls, and her bright red lips slightly pouting, irresistible not to long for a taste of their sweet scent.
Upon seeing this woman, Ye Xunhuan frowned slightly, a familiar yet strange feeling rushing over him!
He found the woman very familiar, yet he couldn’t remember who she was.
After all, he hadn’t finished high school and had left the school almost a decade ago. Ten years could change a lot, enough time for many to marry and have children.
It was understandable that Ye Xunhuan didn’t recognize her at that moment.
As Ye Xunhuan gazed at the woman, she was also looking at him, alternately frowning and pondering, until finally, her youthful face overlapped with Ye Xunhuan’s in her mind, "You... are you Ye Xunhuan?"
The woman asked uncertainly.
"Who are you?" Ye Xunhuan still couldn’t recognize who the woman was.
"Think carefully!" The woman, upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s response, knew she hadn’t recognized the wrong person and slowly began to smile.
Ye Xunhuan frowned, propping his chin as he scrutinized the woman facing him. After a long while, he suddenly exclaimed, "You... you couldn’t be Chu Ji, could you?"
Seeing that Ye Xunhuan had recognized her, Chu Ji’s smile grew even brighter, "At least you remember some decency, remembering your old class leader!"
Chu Ji, Ye Xunhuan’s class leader back then, was quite nice to him, or rather, she had some interest in him, and her family background was also extremely good. Ten years ago, Chu Ji was the epitome of the so-called ’babe rich beauty.’
But unfortunately, back then, Ye Xunhuan’s eyes were only for Su Guyan.
Ye Xunhuan’s eyes mischievously shifted, "My goodness, I would never have thought that the Princess Taiping of the past has now become so sagaciously curvy, my, my..."
While Chu Ji initially was delighted to see Ye Xunhuan, her expression darkened immediately upon hearing his words, "You jerk, how dare you call me Princess Taiping..."
The reason Chu Ji came here was solely because of Ye Xunhuan. Back then, she liked Ye Xunhuan, yet Ye Xunhuan liked Su Guyan, and at that time, in Ye Xunhuan’s world, only Su Guyan existed; everyone else was just a passerby.
Including her, Chu Ji. Now, her purpose in attending the reunion was purely because she knew Ye Xunhuan would be there—she had come for him.
Perhaps to make up for the past regret, to see how the man she used to secretly love was doing now, whether he was as successful as she had imagined.
It looked good so far.
Pinching is a technique specially used by women, and damn it, it’s always the same as taught by a master. The technique is identical, and they know exactly where it hurts.
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but gasp for air.
"What, you’ve changed, but this handsy temper hasn’t, has it!"
Chu Ji snorted, "Is it any of your business?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ji said with a smirk, "So, do I look beautiful or what?"
"Are you sure you didn’t go under the knife in Korea?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Chu Ji was taken aback initially and then glared at Ye Xunhuan with fiery eyes, "You..."
"Looking at you, it doesn’t seem like it!"
Ye Xunhuan finished speaking, and Chu Ji’s anger subsided by half, "You have some sense. Did you ever expect I’d turn out this beautiful?"
"Still beautiful after removing makeup?"
Chu Ji’s lips twitched involuntarily, "Ye Xunhuan, how come I never noticed at school that you had a knack for being annoying?"
Ye Xunhuan hee-heed with a smirk.
Back in school, Ye Xunhuan was known only for fighting and not for smooth talking. But now, it was as if he had transformed into a different person.
"It’s about keeping up with the times, advancing with society. I had to make my gab slicker." Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Otherwise how would I always get one over you?"
"Why are you standing here, not going inside?"
"I calculated and knew I would meet you, our big class leader Chu, so I’ve been waiting right here," Ye Xunhuan said with a light chuckle.
Chu Ji’s heart bloomed with joy. After ten years, Ye Xunhuan had become slicker, but his ability to charm had only increased.
"Shall we go in together then?"
Ye Xunhuan nodded. Finally, he had encountered someone familiar, and their relationship during school was quite good, so it wouldn’t be too lonely. Thus, Ye Xunhuan walked in with Chu Ji.
Just as Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji entered the hall, Mu Tiange noticed them right away.
Instantly, a dark, fleeting smile crossed Mu Tiange’s face, but it disappeared just as quickly as he immediately stood up to approach, "Ladies and gentlemen, guess who these two are?"
As soon as Mu Tiange finished speaking, everyone’s eyes immediately fell on Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji.
"Our big class leader, Chu Ji!"
Chu Ji had always kept in touch with these classmates, so someone recognized her almost immediately.
"Does anyone know who the person next to Chu Ji is?"
The crowd stared at Ye Xunhuan, examining him incessantly, brows furrowing as if desperately trying to remember.
"Possibly big class leader Chu’s husband?"
