Chapter 290 - Potential Boyfriend
Chapter 290 – Potential Boyfriend
Everyone made way for Elder Yu who was the Master of the prestigious Yu Family. ''Happy Birthday, my boy,'' The old man patted Jun ZIxuan's shoulder.
''I am glad that you are here,'' Jun Zixuan's lips tilted upwards.
Grandpa Yu laughed, ''If you may take this little gentleman with you…'' The old man pointed his chin at Yu Jinhai, ''I have something I want to discuss with my granddaughter.''
Yu Mei glanced at him questioningly.
''Girl, how are you?" Grandpa Yu asked as soon as they reached a dark corner, away from the prying eyes of media.
''Uhh…I am fine…'' Why did this old man looked especially scary with those eyes burning with obvious curiosity?
''No No…You must have had a fever,'' Grandpa Yu sighed.
Yu Mei shook her head, ''Eh..No, I am really good. Is there something you want to say, Grandpa?"
''Why did you confess to Jun Boy? It should be the other way around,'' Grandpa Yu sighed. He was on his way when he heard this news from some little birdies. This little foolish granddaughter of his…
''What's wrong with me confessing to him?" Yu Mei was curious about what was going on in his mind.
''You…It has to be like that. He is the man here. He should be the one doing it. You should let him do the chasing part. Men are all fond of it,'' The old man whispered.
"Aye~ Grandpa, you sure have some experience,'' Yu Mei winked.
''You little brat,'' Grandpa Yu sighed, "You don't understand what I'm saying-''
''I do, Grandpa. I understand,'' Yu Mei smiled, ''But for him, I am willing to break every norm of the society. Jun Zixuan has done much more for me, than anyone will ever know. I don't have a proper gift for him on his birthday for he has everything in this world but I knew this gift of mine was sure to bring a smile on his face. So how could I not go for it?"
''Haish…Silly girl, he is a lucky man…'' Grandpa Yu shook his head.
''I am the lucky one here…''
On the other side,
''I bet they are gossiping about you,'' Mu Shen clicked his tongue looking at the granddaughter-grandfather pair. He was still shocked at the public confession that came out of nowhere.
"Let them gossip then,'' Jun Zixuan replied with a constant smile on his face as his gaze remained fixated on her.
Mu Shen was speechless. It was hard to believe that this man was like a wounded tiger some time ago.
Yu Jinhai glanced at Jun Zixuan curiously, ''Brother-in-law…"
''Mhm?" Jun Zixuan glanced at him.
Mu Shen could swear that his voice sounded sweeter than honey and it was giving him goosebumps.
''Are you really very happy today because it is your birthday?" the little boy asked.
''Maybe or mayn't be. Why do you ask?" Jun Zixuan ruffled his hair.
''You look really happy,'' Yu Jinhai blinked.
''It's not his birthday, it's your sister,'' Mu Shen mumbled under his breath, ''Aye! What is there in love that makes everyone crazy? I prefer-'' He paused, his breathe hitched while his words caught in his throat.
Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at him and Yu Jinhai did the same. Both of them followed his gaze and glanced at the entrance.
Li Shuang stepped on the red carpet dressed in a simple black gown.
The gown clung to her body, accentuating her curves.
Her long straight hair was let down as she stepped inside with her bodyguards behind her.
Mu Shen exhaled the breath he did not know he was holding.
As soon as she stepped inside, Yu Jinhai glanced at her, ''Brother-in-law, can I go to Shuang Jie?"
Jun Zixuan nodded, ''Go slowly,'' He waved at one of his bodyguards who immediately went after the little boy.
''Who is that guy with her?'' Mu Shen asked looking at the huge man walking beside Li Shuang, ''Is it her boyfriend?" After all, he did not look like a bodyguard.
Jun Zixuan glanced at him, ''Her partner for the night. Possibly her boyfriend too.''
''But hey, didn't she recently break up with a jerk?''
''What has that got to do with you?"
Mu Shen averted his gaze from Li Shuang before looking at Jun Zixuan who had his eyes narrowed, ''Hey, it's not like what you think…''
''How do you know what I am thinking?"
''Well…'' Mu Shen scratched the back of his neck, ''She…Sigh… I was just curious about her.''
Li Shuang walked towards Jun Zixuan, holding Yu Jinhai's hand , ''Happy Birthday,'' She passed him the gift.
''You also know?" Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow.
''Of course,'' A small smile settled on Li Shuang's cold face, ''Mei told me that I am not allowed to come empty-handed.''
Jun Zixuan smiled as he received the gift from her, ''Thank you.''
Mu Shen glanced at the small box curiously, ''Can I keep it?"
''But it's not your birthday,'' Li Shuang frowned.
''Whatever gift you give me on my birthday, I will give it to him,'' saying that, he snatched the box from Jun Zixuan's hand.
Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow. Wasn't he 'just curious'?
''Is this your boyfriend?" Mu Shen pointed his chin towards the man behind her.
Li Shuang shook her head, ''He is the Vice President of Dream Entertainment, Edward…''
Mu Shen nodded at the man named Edward who nodded back at him.
''…My potential boyfriend,'' She continued expressionlessly.
''My potential brother-in-law?'' Yu Jinhai asked curiously.
''Yes,'' Edward answered on her behalf, ''I am pursuing your sister.''
Yu Jinhai glanced at him blankly and so did Mu Shen.
When Jun Zixuan spotted Elder Yu walking towards them, he simply stood up and walked out of the awkwardly tense atmosphere.
…
''Ah Shuang is here…''
Yu Mei followed the old man's gaze, ''Who is that man with her?''
''Her potential boyfriend that she says….''
Yu Mei frowned. She has only recently gone through a breakup with that jerk of a man, Zhu Boqin then who is this new guy?
Li Shuang has been with Zhu Boqin since a long time so it should not be possible for her to fall in love with someone else so fast or is it?
