Start Over!
These four words finally calmed He Chuyan down completely. Looking at Liang Sheng in front of her, she no longer had the eagerness to be with him as before.
She originally thought that if she saw him again and he was still willing to confess his love to her, she would agree to him without hesitation. But now, it seemed that everything had changed.
He Chuyan never expected that she would be so calm, with no ripples in her heart. It was as if the person standing in front of her was not the one she had been waiting for bitterly for five years, but just an old friend who had reunited after a long separation, or even a stranger gradually.
What surprised her was that the scene of leaving home in the morning suddenly popped up in her mind. The warm kiss of Shen Mianshu seemed to still linger on her forehead.
After a while, He Chuyan also looked up at him seriously without any avoidance. "Liang Sheng, you've been gone without a trace for five years. Now you suddenly come back and say you want to start over with me. What makes you think I'll still be waiting for you and start over with you?"
"Yanyan, didn't we agree back then? Before I left, I said I would come back. Now you're not married yet. Isn't it because... you've been waiting for me?"
He Chuyan just found it ridiculous.
"Why do you assume that just because I haven't gotten married in these five years, I've been waiting for you?"
The receptionist looked over there for a while and then walked over. "Sister Yan, do you need me to bring you a glass of water?"
"No need." He Chuyan's expression was calm. "This gentleman is leaving soon. Go back to work. Don't pour water for him."
"Yanyan, are you angry? I know I did wrong. I..."
He Chuyan sneered and interrupted him. "In these five years, you left so neatly without any intention of contacting me. Liang Sheng, what gives you the confidence to think that I would definitely wait for you?"
"Yanyan, I had my own hardships in these five years. If I could, I wouldn't have left you."
"Enough. I've made it very clear. There's no longer any connection between us. Moreover..." He Chuyan gave him a cold sideways glance. "Even when we were together back then, how many things did you hide from me? Since there's no trust between us at all, why should we be together again?"
"Yanyan, I understand that you're very angry now. But I'll come to you again later, waiting for you to think it through."
After Liang Sheng said these words gently, he smiled at her and then turned around to leave.
Watching his back, He Chuyan clenched her fists tightly.
The receptionist also came over, looking at Liang Sheng's back. "Sister Yan, who is this guy?"
He Chuyan regained her calm and said lightly, "My ex-boyfriend."
"Ah... Is he the ex-boyfriend who disappeared without a trace for five years?" The receptionist stared in surprise.
"Yes, it's him." He Chuyan took a deep breath.
"Sister Yan, aren't you about to get married to Mr. Shen? Your ex comes to you at this time. I'm afraid he has ill intentions. How about telling Mr. Shen about this to avoid any misunderstandings?"
Just thinking about this matter gave He Chuyan a headache.
"Ah, let's see. I'll handle this myself. By the way, I won't go for lunch. Please bring me a meal back. I'll go back to my office. Thank you."
"Uh, okay."
Inside the meeting room of S University.
As usual, there was a cultural exchange meeting in the afternoon. With yesterday's experience, Ye Yanxi restrained herself a bit and finally didn't oppose Liang Sheng's speeches everywhere.
The school leaders were naturally overjoyed. Ye Yanxi had been so confrontational yesterday that they were really afraid that the Italian representatives would get angry first, which would have been a big problem.
One was a guest from abroad!
The other was the wife of the president of Xiao Group.
They couldn't afford to offend either side. If the two sides could reconcile and get along harmoniously on their own, they wouldn't have to be so worried.
The main reason was that yesterday, Xiao Yu told her not to conflict with Liang Sheng directly for the time being and that he would handle the rest.
Therefore, after the meeting ended, Ye Yanxi left the meeting room immediately. She didn't want to have any entanglement with Liang Sheng at all.
After going out, Jin Yan stopped her.
"Hello, Teacher Jin." Ye Yanxi looked at Jin Yan with a smile and greeted politely.
Jin Yan also nodded with a smile. "How was it? Was the cultural exchange process smooth? Any problems?"
"Smooth." Ye Yanxi nodded.
But she still felt a bit guilty in her heart.
It was Jin Yan who recommended her to participate in the cultural exchange discussion, but she always had conflicts with Liang Sheng, which disappointed Jin Yan's good intentions. She didn't know if it would have any impact on her.
"Good. As long as it's smooth. I just came here specifically to ask."
Jin Yan's concern made Ye Yanxi feel even more guilty. After hesitating for a while, she still told the truth. "Actually, I'm really sorry about yesterday. Because of personal reasons..."
"Oh, that matter. It's no big deal. It's just a discussion. It's understandable. Don't blame yourself too much."
"Did it have any impact on you? Did the school criticize you?"
"How could it? Don't worry."
"Really?"
"Really. Why would I lie to you?" Jin Yan suddenly remembered something. "By the way, there will be an off-campus inspection tomorrow. Do you know about it?"
"Oh, the team leader just mentioned it in the meeting."
"That's good. But you..." Jin Yan glanced worriedly at her lower abdomen.
Students were coming and going in the corridor. After they passed by, Jin Yan whispered, "You're in a special period now. The school leaders and others don't know about this yet. I'm here to ask you. If it's inconvenient, I can tell the leaders for you tomorrow and not arrange you to go."
Ye Yanxi was still a bit touched. Jin Yan was so considerate of her. "It's okay. We won't walk much outside, and most of the time we'll be in the car. If I don't go, others may think I'm being special and talk about me behind my back."
"Then you really insist on going? With your current status, even if you don't go, no one would dare to say anything."
These words made Ye Yanxi even more determined to go. She least wanted to be restricted by this status.
Although she was the wife of the president of Xiao Group, she was also a student now. If she put on airs because of Xiao Yu, it would have a worse impact. Moreover, she didn't want to be treated differently because of this status.
After a while, Ye Yanxi nodded firmly. "Teacher Jin, don't worry. I'm really okay. Besides, I've always been in good health. I had a physical examination last time and everything was fine, so there won't be any problems."
"Okay, but I'm still worried..."
It seemed that Jin Yan was worried that if something happened to her, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Xiao Yu.
Ye Yanxi smiled. "Don't worry. If something really happens, I'll tell Xiao Yu myself and ask him not to hold the school responsible."
"I didn't mean that." Jin Yan looked at her awkwardly and explained.
"Teacher Jin, I understand. Don't worry. I'll be okay." Ye Yanxi had to assure her again.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore."
"Okay, then Teacher, I still have something to do. I'll leave first." After saying that, Ye Yanxi nodded and left.
Watching her back gradually fade away, Jin Yan involuntarily looked at her lower abdomen. Her clothes were quite loose and nothing could be seen.
But Jin Yan knew that Ye Yanxi was probably about four months pregnant now.
Ye Yanxi had just returned to the classroom with her books in her arms. Before she even opened a page, someone from the teaching affairs office told her that someone was looking for her in the principal's office and asked her to go there quickly.
Although she was curious about who would be looking for her, she still got up and followed that person to the office.
When she arrived at the office, there was no one there. A passerby told them that the principal had gone to the meeting room and asked her to go there directly when she came. So the two of them walked towards the meeting room.
As soon as she got to the door, Ye Yanxi just took a glance and saw that the meeting room was full of people, and almost all of them were important leaders.
The director of the foreign language department saw her first and waved to her. "Xiaoye is here. Come in quickly."
Ye Yanxi took a few steps and looked at the principal a bit nervously. "I wonder what the principal wants to see me for?"
The department director took over the conversation and pointed at the person sitting on the other side of the table. "Well, Mr. He said he wants to sponsor our school's expansion. Mr. He said he wants to meet you. Didn't you two meet before? You should recognize him."
Sure enough!
Ye Yanxi frowned and looked in the direction the department director pointed. Sure enough, she saw He Zhenhua sitting upright on the other side of the table.
There was still wisdom and shrewdness hidden in his eyes, but Ye Yanxi clearly felt that He Zhenhua's face seemed a bit paler. But she didn't really care.
After walking over, Ye Yanxi said politely, "Mr. He, this school expansion matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with a student like me. You should discuss it with the school leaders. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Ye Yanxi turned around decisively and wanted to leave.
But He Zhenhua stood up and called out to her. "Xiaoxi, wait."
This call also made all the leaders present nervous. There seemed to be some conflict between the two of them, but considering Ye Yanxi's status, He Zhenhua probably wouldn't do anything to her.
It was just that regarding the school expansion matter, if Ye Yanxi left, it might all go to waste. So everyone was nervously looking at Ye Yanxi.
The principal gave a signal, and the department director immediately stood up and stopped Ye Yanxi.
"Student Ye, we haven't finished discussing this matter yet. Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"You guys discuss your own business. What does it have to do with me?" Ye Yanxi frowned. "All the leaders present here, are you going to stop me against my will just for the sake of the school expansion? Come on. You're all important leaders in the school. Aren't you afraid of losing face if word gets out that you're making things difficult for a student?"
