Chapter 180: She said: I’m sorry

Chapter 180: She said: I’m sorry

"Yo, Xiao Huan, come in, come in."

Zuo Jiangqin’s face was covered with powder, making the color of her face a different shade compared to her neck, which was especially noticeable under the backlight.

"Sorry to disturb you, Auntie."

"Not at all, it’s no disturbance. I got the ticket for you especially."

Zuo Jiangqin smiled, pulling Yan Huan into the room.

Yet, as Yan Huan glanced at the smile on her face and the hand holding his, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Isn’t this a bit too enthusiastic?

Zuo Jiangqin even personally moved a chair over for him to sit. Yan Huan thanked her and sat down, looking at the back of Bai Yi in the makeup mirror.

"Yiyi."

Following Zuo Jiangqin’s call, the girl in front of the makeup mirror finally turned her head around.

Contrary to Yan Huan’s expectations, her face did not carry the remnants of tears.

It seemed like her smile had been adjusted after a tune-up, revealing only a bit of fatigue in her eyes due to her mother.

Her black hair cascaded down, adorned with an earpiece resembling angel wings on her right ear.

Below the hair accessory, scattered crystals complemented her well-suited makeup, pure and beautiful.

She wore an idol-style dress with a mix of white and gold, gleaming under the lights.

Just as the media commented, Bai Yi indeed possessed stunning beauty.

"President Yan."

She smoothed her hair and took a deep breath.

Pushing down the weariness and sadness in her eyes completely, she greeted Yan Huan with the full charisma of an idol.

Yan Huan watched Bai Yi in front of him, who forced herself to remain calm and smile, while the sound of a clock ticking persisted in his ears,

"Drip drip...tick tock..."

Yan Huan kept his composure, simply smiling,

"Just call me Yan Huan."

Zuo Jiangqin also sat on a chair nearby, nodding and saying,

"Indeed, young folks don’t need all these formalities. Please, have a seat."

Yan Huan glanced briefly at Zuo Jiangqin, smiled a little, but did not respond.

On the contrary, Zuo Jiangqin took a look at Yan Huan from head to toe and suddenly asked,

"Uh, Xiao Huan, Auntie has something to ask you."

"Auntie, go ahead."

"Well, didn’t Ye International set up a scholarship at your and Yiyi’s school last week? That’s not fake, is it?"

Yan Huan nodded and replied,

"It’s real, Auntie. I heard that Ye International’s scholarship can even cover fees beyond tuition, and there are many of them. They also provide internship spots to students during the holidays..."

Hearing this, Zuo Jiangqin smiled, though she didn’t really understand or care about the details of the scholarship coverage.

She glanced briefly at Yan Huan, pondering over her words, then asked him,

"Oh, is that so... The thing is, Auntie wanted to ask about your relationship with Ye Lan from Ye International. I heard from the secretary of your school’s principal that she came to the school to see you last week, right?"

Yan Huan, upon hearing this, seemed to suddenly understand why the other party was so enthusiastic towards him.

His facial expression remained unchanged, but then Bai Yi suddenly exclaimed from behind,

"Mom!"

Zuo Jiangqin gave Bai Yi a sharp glance, then turned back with a smile to look at Yan Huan,

"It’s like this, Yiyi’s uncle, and the man Auntie is going to remarry used to be President Ye’s junior brother, and he has also returned to work at Lin Gate recently, so Auntie wanted to ask more."

"Not at all, Auntie. Aunt Ye did indeed come to see me at school last week, and I spent a weekend at her place."

"Ah, I see..."

Although Yan Huan didn’t elaborate, Zuo Jiangqin could already feel that the relationship between Yan Huan and Ye Lan was special.

Yan Huan likewise guessed that Zuo Jiangqin’s inquiry about his relationship with Ye Lan was related to her remarriage prospect.

"President Ye is still single at the moment. I heard her ex-husband treated her and her child very poorly. If there’s a chance, Auntie could see if she can introduce someone suitable..."

Yan Huan watched Zuo Jiangqin in front of him, not saying a word, and just kept smiling.

"Mommy!"

But from behind, Bai Yi had already shouted in a tone that seemed unable to endure any longer.

Frowning, Zuo Jiangqin turned to look back at Bai Yi and then turned to Yan Huan with a smiling face and stood up, saying,

"It’s fine, Xiao Huan, keep in touch with Auntie and Yiyi in the future. Young people should chat with each other; Auntie won’t barge in. I’m going to check how the preparations are going, Yiyi, remember to watch the time."

Zuo Jiangqin waved at Yan Huan, growing fonder of the handsome and spirited Yan Huan the more she looked at him.

Before leaving, she gently patted Yan Huan’s shoulder and then left the room satisfied.

"Click~"

The door was closed, leaving the two and the persistent ticking in the room,

"Drip drip...tick tock..."

Yan Huan turned back to face Bai Yi, who forced a smile, and she pointed at the door, apologizing with a smile,

"My mom, she’s a bit, well, you know... President Yan."

"Just call me Yan Huan."

"Oh... Yan... Yan Huan."

Yan Huan nodded and also let out a sigh of relief. He then said to Bai Yi,

"I’m not very good at dealing with elders, but for the sake of an idol, I had to bite the bullet and come over. This is actually my first time backstage; it’s quite novel to me."

"An idol or whatever..."

Bai Yi’s face turned slightly red from Yan Huan’s words, but her nose began to twitch imperceptibly, appearing quite pleased.

Yan Huan looked at Bai Yi in front of him then suddenly asked,

"So Bai Yi, are you going to sing today?"

"..."

Upon hearing the question, Bai Yi opened her mouth slightly, with the joy from the praise slowly retreating back into her eyes.

She pursed her lips and then showed Yan Huan a forced smile.
