293 [Bonus chapter]She was Chasing Him Away

At the side, Fang Su Jin was nibbling on the appetizers on her plate. She glanced at the tall man beside her and wondered just how long would he stay by her side.

She wanted to escape and find her friends, but Fang Su Jin could feel that Zhang Yi Hai was keeping his eyes on her. It was as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

He look as if he had something to say to her. However, his hesitation was making her worry that this young man was going to scold her or something.

With him around, Fang Su Jin did not dare to move around.

Fang Su Jin glanced at Zhang Yi Hai again and heaved a long sigh.

She wondered just why would he have to listen to his sister and continued to stay by her side. She was already an adult that did not need supervision. Moreover, Zhang Yi Hai was younger than her.

Why was the man around her too strange?

She also wanted to be pursued by a good man. But the men around her were either creepy or too scary.

A few seconds later, Fang Su Jin gasped.

.....

By thinking like this, did she already consider Zhang Yi Hai as one of her pursuers?

No. She cannot think like this. Zhang Yi Hai was only a little brother of her best friend.

Fang Su Jin quickly scolded herself.

“Sister Fang.”

“Huh?” Zhang Yi Hai’s voice snapped out of her trance. Seeing that the man was looking at her surprised her a little bit.

Fang Su Jin could not help but wonder if Zhang Yi Hai would know the thoughts in her mind.

She did not say her thoughts out loud, did she?

Of course, Zhang Yi Hai was unaware of what was going on in Fang Su Jin’s mind. At this time, he was too busy with his own thought.

“You...” Fang Su Jin subconsciously took a step back when she saw the serious look on Zhang Yi Hai’s face. “Zhang Yi Hai, what are you doing?”

“Sister Fang, I’d like to apologize again.”

His words surprised her. “Huh?” Fang Su Jin was not expecting Zhang Yi Hai to suddenly apologize. “What are you apologizing for?”

“Last time, my parents misunderstood us and caused you trouble,” Zhang Yi Hai continued.

Fang Su Jin looked at the man for a few seconds longer before she burst into laughter. “Zhang Yi Hai, you have been looking at me for a while because you wanted to apologize for what happened in Capital City?”

Zhang Yi Hai nodded. Then, his head tilted to one side. Judging from Fang Su Jin’s words, it seemed that she was expecting him to say something else.

“You don’t have to apologize for this,” Fang Su Jin said. “Everything happened because of me. I... I shouldn’t be drinking too much and causing you trouble. Moreover, I should be the one to apologize. Because of me, your parents misunderstood you.”

Zhang Yi Hai shook his head. “A woman’s reputation is very important.”

Her lips curled into a gentle smile. Thinking that Zhang Yi Hai was only worrying about her made her heart warm.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Fang Su Jin said. “It has been months. I already forgot that such a thing had happened.”

Zhang Yi Hai thought that the incident was too embarrassing for Fang Su Jin and that she no longer wanted to talk about it. Since that was the case, he really should not speak about that matter anymore.

The two of them were quiet again.

Fang Su Jin glanced at the tall man beside her and spoke, “Zhang Yi Hai, you don’t have to stay with me all the time. I’ll be fine on my own. Besides, don’t you have to join your family members up there?”

Zhang Yi Hai glanced at the stage and saw a woman walk up.

“It seemed that the ceremony is about to start soon,” Fang Su Jin reminded him.

Zhang Yi Hai shook his head. “There is still time.”

The corner of her lips began to twitch. Fang Su Jin wondered if Zhang Yi Hai would understand that she was chasing him away.

“Su Jin?”

The familiar voice made her turn. Fang Su Jin looked at her parents and a smile bloomed on her face. “Mom, Dad.”

The Fang couple gave their daughter a look over before turning to Zhang Yi Hai. Once they recognized the man as Zhang Li Xue’s little brother, the couple’s expression began to ease up.

“Yi Hai,” Father Fang nodded when he saw the young man. He could still remember chatting with Zhang Yi Hai during his visit with her sister the last time. Father Fang’s impression of Zhang Yi Hai had always been good.

Meanwhile, Mother Fang was looking at her daughter with worry. “Su Jin, mom knows that she was at fault. When are you going to return home?”

Fang Su Jin glanced at Zhang Yi Hai and coughed. She had run away from home to avoid her mother setting her up with some random guys.

This matter was a bit embarrassing and Fang Su Jin hoped that Zhang Yi Hai would not know about it.

Fang Su Jin held her mother’s hand tightly and blinked a few times, hoping that her mother would understand her meaning. “Mom, I know. I’ll go back with you after this event, alright? You know that I have been staying here to help Li Xue.”

Mother Fang did not understand her daughter’s warning gaze. However, hearing that her daughter would return home after the celebration made her heart feel at ease.

Zhang Yi Hai looked at the family of three and spoke, “Sister Fang, since your family is here, then, I should go and find my family.”

Fang Su Jin nodded. However, Father Fang was a little disappointed.

“Yi Hai, you should come over to our house when you have the time,” Father Fang spoke. “Let’s continue our discussion later.”

Zhang Yi Hai exchanged a few polite words with Father Fang before he left to join his sister and the others before the ceremony would begin.

However, before he could walk very far, a familiar someone stopped him.

Zhang Yi Hai looked at Mu Zhen Yu and could not help but recall the last time they met and the words he said to him.

“Zhang Yi Hai, aren’t you with your sister?” Mu Zhen Yu gave the man a look over and realized that the suit he was wearing was different than the man he saw with Zhang Li Xue earlier.
