Yan Yan - Chapter 32.3

Chapter 32.3
There was nothing in the yard.
Before walking in, Su Yan imagined that the first thing that would catch her eye should be a Chinese-style courtyard, with rockery and waterside pavilions delicately distributed. After passing through the courtyard, there was a Chinese-style villa where everyone gathered and talked.
After entering, Su Yan realised that her ideas were not as good as the ones the designers had used to construct them.
The designer had created something that was not a Chinese-style mansion. Instead, they had made a small version of an old town found in the southern part of the Yangtze River.
The first thing anyone could see was a pond. There was a long hallway on the right side of the pond. There were lanterns hung up along the corridor’s edges every now and then to provide light. Behind the corridor was a row of blue-tile houses. It was made of pineapple wood, which was carved with exquisite decorative patterns.
On the left side of the pond, there were green silk-weeping willow trees. Past that, there was a flat area that was covered with bluestone slabs. There were a lot of mahogany tables spread out on the ground, with four mahogany chairs at each table. Also, there was an old lamp on each table.
Two bridges made of blue stone connect the two sides of the pond. One was a small curved bridge on the side, and the other was a flat bridge with a slim width that was located in the middle at both ends of the pond.
The two bridges and the pond were surrounded by bright yellow lights, giving a pleasant feeling.
Compared with five-star hotels and regular high-end clubs, the atmosphere here was definitely not luxurious, but it was elegant and unique.
Men and women were talking, laughing, and chatting in different places. Some were in the hallway, and others were at a nearby table made of mahogany. Su Yan was surprised when she saw that all the men who came here were wearing expensive suits, and women were wearing different types of cheongsams.
The cheongsam was better for the event than the evening dress. When the suit was worn with the cheongsam, it gave a nostalgic feeling of the Republic of China era, and it looked very impressive.
Su Yan had to say that she really enjoyed it a lot. She was upset because she didn’t wear a cheongsam today; otherwise, she wouldn’t be as embarrassed as she was now. But luckily, the guests were busy drinking tea and chatting, so nobody noticed her at the moment.
However, after a few seconds passed, someone noticed Bai Xingfan, and he called out, “Hey, Mr. Bai has come.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was strong, like a gust of wind that quickly caught the attention of the people sitting near him.
Those people stopped talking one by one, slowly looking at them. They saw Bai Xingfan and then saw Su Yan next to him. They were first surprised, then became curious and started examining and exploring them.
If only one person was staring at her like this, Su Yan would have ignored it. But because everyone was staring at her, she couldn’t ignore it. It made her feel uncomfortable, like she was a monkey in the zoo that was being watched by a crowd.
She felt a sudden rush of emotions; her face turned red, and she felt really embarrassed.
At that moment, Bai Xingfan hugged her around the waist out of nowhere and said, “Don’t worry.”
His voice was soft and comforting.
Su Yan felt a bit better, but not much, because as she moved, more and more people started paying attention to her, and she quickly became the centre of attention.
Although she felt embarrassed, she did her best to not make herself feel more embarrassed. She tried to stay calm, stand up straight, and respond calmly to everyone looking at her.
“You did really well.” Bai Xingfan gave her a nice compliment, saying, “You were very graceful.”
Su Yanton was feeling content and confident, and her eyes were shining brightly.
‘She is like a child.’ Bai Xingfan couldn’t stop laughing and said, “Please be yourself.”
Su Yan nodded a little and said, “Yes.” However, she was not feeling too sure. She turned her face, looked up at him, and asked quietly, “Why is everyone staring at me?”
Bai Xingfan: “I also don’t know.”
Su Yan didn’t think his words were genuine.
At that moment, a young woman wearing a dark green cheongsam approached from far away and stopped in front of Su Yan.
She had on white high-heeled shoes; her ankles were showing and looked thin, and the tight, long cheongsam hugged her curvy body perfectly. As she walked with a swaying motion, her black, curly hair fell on her shoulders and she moved a little. Her full red lips matched well with her overall appearance, creating a beauty that was hard to describe.
She smiled kindly at Bai Xingfan and called him, “Hey Mr. Bai, you’re here.”
Bai Xingfan replied with a smile. “Sorry, I took some time on the road.”
Hearing the conversation between those two, Su Yan felt deep down that she was the one wasting her own time.
The lady looked around with her eyes and then looked at Su Yan. She playfully said, “I really didn’t expect that Mr. Bai would bring a female companion.”
Bai Xingfan: “Someone I know.”
The lady smiled and asked again, “Isn’t she just a regular friend?”
Bai Xingfan smiled helplessly at Su Yan and said, “I’m afraid to say it because I don’t want to make her angry.”
‘What do you mean?’ Su Yan thought angrily. In order to save face, she didn’t change her face and replied lukewarmly, “Why should I be angry?”
Bai Xingfan did not make a definite decision, let out a soft sigh, and looked at the woman again, saying, “Let’s discuss business matters first.”
“Sure” The woman slightly turned and extended her arms towards the stone bridge, saying, “Please.”
As Su Yan watched them walk away together, she felt a sudden surge of emotion: ‘Didn’t you promise that I would be the only person by your side tonight? But now you’ve abandoned me and gone with other women. What am I supposed to do now?’
