Chapter 300
Seeing that Fang Su Jin seemed to know this young man, the look on Lin Fang’s expression quickly turned uglier. Lin Fang turned to Fang Su Jin and asked, “Who is this?”
Zhang Yi Hai did not often go out and play like the others his age. Because he was still studying, his parents did not usually bring him out in the public. Therefore, it was not strange for Lin Fang not to recognize him.
Lin Fang looked at Zhang Yi Hai again. “Fang Su Jin, you’re cheating on me?”
“Bullshit.”
Zhang Yi Hai raised a brow at Fang Su Jin when he heard her scolding.
“Lin Fang, we might have gone out a few times, but are not a couple,” Fang Su Jin said. “Watch your mouth. What do you mean by cheating on you?”
Zhang Yi Hai threw Lin Fang’s hand away and gave the man a lookover. It was only now that he realized that Lin Fang was the same person he saw during his friend’s engagement ceremony.
Back then, when he saw the two of them together, Zhang Yi Hai had thought that Fang Su Jin was dating this man.
.....
So, it wasn’t like that?
Without knowing why there was a sense of relief in his heart.
“You agreed to go out with me. Doesn’t that mean you agreed to be my girlfriend?” Lin Fang said.
Fang Su Jin gasped. “It was a blind date! If it’s not for our mothers, do you think that I would go out with you? Lin Fang, you are sick.”
Zhang Yi Hai looked at Fang Su Jin again. He couldn’t understand why someone like Fang Su Jin would need to go on a blind date. Were her parents too eager to let her get married?
Even so, someone like Lin Fang was not suitable for Fang Su Jin, right?
The man became agitated and was going to grab Fang Su Jin again. However, Zhang Yi Hai was quick to block him again.
“Young Master Lin, you better watch your manners,” Zhang Yi Hai warned. “Don’t forget where you are.”
It was only then that Lin Fang took a step back. He looked around and finally seemed to realize where he was. Even though he was impatient with Fang Su Jin, he could not create a scene with Zhang Yi Hai around. He did not want his parents to be disappointed in him.
Fang Su Jin continued to hide behind Zhang Yi Hai. Now that she had someone to protect her, Fang Su Jin finally became braver. “You don’t have to worry. I will talk to your mother. From now on, you don’t have to see me again. After all, the only reason you go out with me was for your mother right?”
Once she finished saying those words, Fang Su Jin turned around and left. She was going to look for Madam Lin and asked for her to stop pairing Lin Fang with her.
Zhang Yi Hai shot a look at Lin Fang before he went to follow Fang Su Jin.
However, to his surprise, Fang Su Jin did was not heading back into the ballroom. Instead, the girl ran out through the back door.
Zhang Yi Hai stood up straight as he watched in the direction where Fang Su Jin had run to. He recalled that there was a small garden at the back of the hotel.
He touched his chin before turning around to follow her.
However, when he came out, Zhang Yi Hai could not find the girl anywhere. His eyes narrowed, wondering if the woman had run off somewhere else.
He walked through the small garden and finally heard a small sobbing. He followed the sound and finally found Fang Su Jin squatting down on the ground.
Seeing that Fang Su Jin was crying again made his heart ache.
Zhang Yi Hai hesitated. After a while, he squatted down next to her and patted her shoulder.
However, his movement startled her.
Fang Su Jin subconsciously slapped his hand away and stared at him in fear. However, once she recognized the person in front of her, Fang Su Jin finally heaved a breath in relief.
“It’s me.” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “Sorry. Did I frighten you?”
Fang Su Jin sniffed. “Zhang Yi Hai, what are you doing here?”
His gaze softened upon seeing her reddened eyes. “Didn’t you say that you were going to look for Mrs. Lin in the ballroom? What are you doing here?”
Fang Su Jin raised her head to meet Zhang Yi Hai’s gaze.
Zhang Yi Hai saw the aggrieved look in her eyes and thought that her face resembled a rabbit. Really cute and harmless. But surprisingly, she also knew how to curse people.
“How can I go and see people like this?” Fang Su Jin sniffed again. She stretched her hand and pushed Zhang Yi Hai away. “You go away. Just leave me alone.”
Zhang Yi Hai continued to stay still.
“Leave me be. I’ll be alright after a while.” Fang Su Jin needed a while to vent her frustration. Once she had vented enough and gathered her courage, only then will she be able to see people.
Zhang Yi Hai hesitated. Then, he stood up.
His movement startled Fang Su Jin. She thought the man would stay with her for a while and listen to her venting.
Before she could say a word, Fang Su Jin saw a pack of tissue in front of her. Her gaze shifted to the tall man in front of her again.
“Sister Fang, you should wipe your tears. Be careful. Don’t ruin your makeup.”
Zhang Yi Hai’s words only made Fang Su Jin cry harder.
The young man watched the woman helplessly. He did not know how did he offend her by offering a packet of tissue.
Fang Su Jin grabbed the packet from Bai Qi and pulled a few tissue papers to wipe her tears. She was careful not to ruin her makeup.
Once she was done, Fang Su Jin raised her head to look at Zhang Yi Hai again. She could not understand... Why is it that every time she ran into trouble, Zhang Yi Hai would appear to help her?
Why is it that she always showed an embarrassing side of her in front of this man?
