Huanhai Sports Club Private Club
The luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling swayed, its dazzling light shimmering on the marble floor.
A chorus of cheers and applause erupted inside the room. The crowd included several handsome, tall, and enthusiastic young men, a truly pleasing sight.
Among them were many distinguished young men from powerful and wealthy families, possessing both refined manners and privileged backgrounds.
Chu Wuyang sat in a quiet, slightly secluded booth upstairs, with a panoramic view of the pool table, and sipped her coffee.
A casual glance at the scene below revealed the rich, slightly bitter aroma of coffee, combined with the boost of hormones, which indeed brought a sense of clarity and pleasure.
At this moment, the crowd parted, revealing a small gap through which a young woman wearing a white silk blouse and shorts appeared.
Holding the cue stick in her right hand, she straightened her back and leaned forward to aim at the ball, her upper body pressed against the table. Her slender waist was faintly visible, and her loose curly hair swayed with her movements, flying up at the moment of impact. Her bright eyes flashed with confidence, making her both sexy and sweet.
The billiard ball went smoothly into the pocket; the skillful and uniquely graceful movements became a beautiful sight to behold.
Successfully capturing everyone's attention, the cheers at the scene reached another climax.
"That's amazing! Who's this beautiful woman?"
"Do you know him? Should we go up and get his contact information later?"
"Let's forget it. She's the only daughter of the president of the Ye Group. We're not good enough for her. Only families with the backgrounds of the richest men in Haicheng, like the Chu and Jing families, are worthy of her."
The crowd whispered among themselves, their voices tinged with regret.
Ignoring the whispers, Ye Yuhe smiled slightly and pushed through the crowd without looking back, heading straight towards Wuyang.
"Wow, you're really captivating! You asked me out just to see this?" Chu Wuyang said, glancing at her sideways as he held his coffee.
Ye Yuhe sat down, her shoulders slumped, clearly tired from holding her posture for so long. She turned to look at Chu Wuyang, sighing with a hint of resentment.
"Sigh, of course not. I'm not giving up such a huge forest. Isn't this my last hurrah?"
Chu Wuyang raised an eyebrow in surprise. Was she going to undergo gender reassignment surgery and reform herself?
"How about we keep two? Just two? No, no, it would be terrible to break the law like this. But, it's so hard to just give up such a big forest!"
Seeing the woman opposite him holding the small cake with a mournful expression, muttering complaints to herself, Chu Wuyang clearly saw her eyes, curved in a crescent shape, brimming with starlight, sparkling brightly. It seemed she had met the one who could make her settle down.
So he pretended not to understand and nodded slightly, kindly suggesting, "It's not worth giving up the whole forest for one tree. Only children make choices. Why not have it all?"
Without even thinking, Ye Yuhe replied, "No, your brother won't agree."
Chu Wuyang almost choked after taking a sip of coffee, exclaiming, "What? My brother?"
Both of them were stunned. They had been trying to carefully choose their words, but now they had been caught off guard and confessed without warning. They had no choice but to be honest and accept the leniency.
Ye Yuhe lowered her head and stammered, "Yes, yes, Chu Yao and I are together now. Our two families will announce our engagement at your grandfather's birthday banquet next week."
Ye Yuhe finished speaking in one breath before cautiously glancing at Chu Wuyang's expression, afraid that he would accuse her of being disloyal for not telling her about dating her brother.
Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, she saw Chu Wuyang's brows furrow, and she immediately panicked, her words even stuttering slightly.
"Yangyang, are you angry with me? I'm sorry, I..."
"I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner. Actually, I've liked Chu Yao for a very, very long time."
"It wasn't until we met at the Zhou family banquet that we made any real progress. I didn't tell you before because it was just my unrequited love. Are you angry that I didn't tell you sooner? I'm sorry, I..."
Chu Wuyang quickly interrupted, shaking his head and saying, "No, I'm not angry. I'm just a little worried about you, Ahe. You know the Chu family is a very complicated place."
Ye Yuhe felt relieved after hearing Wu Yang's words; at least she wasn't upset that Wu Yang hadn't told her.
But her crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed into a straight line, her eyes lowered, and sorrow welled up in her heart. Then, as if making a decision, she relaxed her brows, smiled, and looked up at Chu Wuyang, saying firmly:
“We grew up together. Although our families are somewhat different and our relationship isn’t very close, my relationship with you is closer than your relationship with your cousin. Not only do I know all the terrible things you’ve been through, but I also know other more private things.”
"But I think I know what I want. I like Chuyao, and Chuyao is willing too, so I don't want to give up the happiness I have now for the sake of an uncertain future. So Yangyang, please wish me luck! Don't worry."
I don't know if people grow up in an instant, but Ahe's firm attitude actually calmed Wuyang down a lot. Since she could say that, it meant she had thought it through, so of course Wuyang was at ease and offered her his blessings.
But still with some concerns, she hesitated repeatedly before finally speaking:
“Ahe, of course I wish you well, but do you still remember Ruanxi? Your older brother hasn’t looked for anyone else all these years,”
"But you might not have forgotten Ruan Xi yet. If Ruan Xi comes back one day, you might have a falling out. Will you regret it then?"
Even though Ye Yuhe had mentally prepared herself for hearing the name, she still felt a stirring in her heart when she actually heard it. However, this did not change her decision, and she said calmly and optimistically:
"I've thought about it. In their mutual love before, I was just someone who watched from the shadows. But now, I can stand openly in front of the person I love, and that's my greatest fortune."
"Who can predict the future? But I've always been lucky, so I believe fate will be on my side in love too, don't you think?"
This mature statement completely dispelled Wu Yang's worries. Thinking about it, Ahe also grew up in a wealthy family; even though her father only had one daughter, she still had many cousins and siblings.
Even if she didn't participate in these kinds of troublesome affairs in wealthy families, she must have seen plenty of them. Her usual naive and innocent demeanor had made her underestimate her. Now that she was so insightful, she could finally put her mind at ease.
At this moment, as a good friend, one should naturally be on high alert. Chu Wuyang was genuinely happy and smiled gently:
"Yes, that's right, you are the luckiest. I don't have much luck, but I'm willing to share it with you if you need it."
Later, whenever she thought about it, she always regretted that her words had come true and that she hadn't refused, taking what little luck she had.
I should have shared half with her...
