Chapter 123 Yanyan, long time no see
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall, as if a stone had been thrown into the calm lake, and the ripples quickly spread out. Someone in the crowd shouted loudly:
"Look, it's the second young master of the Su family!"
There was an excitement and amazement in the voice that was hard to conceal. This shout seemed to ignite some hidden spark, and the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was instantly pushed to a climax.
Mu Nanyan was also attracted by the sudden noise and subconsciously turned around and looked towards the door of the banquet hall.
However, her view was blocked by layers of people. The door was crowded with people, as if all eyes were focused in the same direction, and the air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.
Mu Nanyan stood on tiptoe, trying to see the legendary second young master of the Su family through the gaps in the crowd, but she could only see a blurry figure.
At this moment, the crowd slowly parted, and a man walked out of the crowd with a calm and elegant pace, as if he had an innate aura.
He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, which made him look tall and slender, with smooth shoulders and a tight waist. Every detail revealed low-key luxury.
His face was half-lit and half-dark by the light, with deep and three-dimensional contours, but it was difficult to see his full appearance at first glance, as if shrouded in a mysterious veil.
His appearance seemed to ignite every corner of the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes followed him involuntarily.
The women were whispering to each other, their eyes flashing with unconcealable surprise and admiration; the men were glancing sideways, with a bit of inquiry and fear in their expressions. He was like a dazzling star, instantly becoming the focus of the entire banquet.
Mu Nanyan's sight was blocked by a tall boy. She could only see the man being surrounded by a group of women and walking towards the center of the banquet. Those women all had exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, but they seemed so insignificant in front of him.
They surrounded him with ingratiating smiles on their faces, as if vying for his attention, but he remained indifferent, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, neither distant nor close.
At this moment, Mu Nanyan's gaze fell on Yun Qianxue. She was standing next to the man, with a rare hint of shyness and tenderness on her face.
Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her cheeks were faintly flushed. She was completely different from the arrogant and domineering Yun Qianxue in her daily life. She whispered something, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the moment.
Mu Nanyan couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity. Who was this man? What kind of charm did he possess that could make someone as proud as Yun Qianxue reveal such a soft side? She tried to squeeze through the crowd, wanting to see more clearly, but the surging crowd blocked her out.
She could only look at the man from afar, with an indescribable emotion rising in her heart.
Seeing that she couldn't see the man's face clearly, Mu Nanyan simply withdrew her gaze. The Second Young Master of the Su Family was, after all, a person who had nothing to do with her.
She has never liked joining in such fun, not to mention that these high-ranking children from aristocratic families are destined to have no intersection with her.
She turned around and prepared to leave, intending to look for Chenchen. However, when she returned to her previous seat, she found that Chenchen was gone. The place where Chenchen had been sitting was empty, with only half a cup of unfinished juice left alone on the table.
Mu Nanyan frowned, feeling a little uneasy. She looked around, trying to find Chenchen in the crowd, but the banquet hall was packed with people, the lights were interlaced, and everywhere she looked were unfamiliar faces.
She took out her cell phone and wanted to call Chenchen, but found that the words "No Signal" were displayed on the screen. The signal in the banquet hall seemed to be blocked, which made her feel even more irritated.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Chenchen was not the kind of person who would leave without saying goodbye. Maybe he just went to the bathroom or was called away by someone.
She decided to look for him nearby first, and if she couldn't find him, she would find a way to contact him.
Mu Nanyan moved among the crowd in the banquet hall, anxiously searching for Chenchen. Her steps were hurried, and she felt vaguely uneasy, fearing that something might have happened to Chenchen.
Just when she was distracted, a waiter holding a tray suddenly came over from the side. Mu Nanyan had no time to dodge, and her shoulder slammed into the tray in the waiter's hand. The wine glass on the tray shook a few times, and a few drops of wine splashed onto her skirt.
Her foot slipped, her body lost balance, and she fell backwards. Just when she thought she was going to fall to the ground in a mess, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and held her steadily.
Mu Nanyan was still in shock, her heart beating like a drum, and she froze in place until a deep and familiar voice came to her ears: "Be careful."
She subconsciously looked up and met a pair of deep eyes. That face was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if it was a phantom walking out from the depths of her memory. Mu Nanyan was stunned, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.
Countless images flashed through her mind - their first meeting on the university campus, sitting side by side in the library, the whispered conversation on the phone late at night, and finally the sudden breakup.
Su Muyang, this name is like a key, instantly opening the door to long-closed memories.
"Yanyan, long time no see."
Su Muyang's voice was still low, but with a barely perceptible tremor. His eyes were complex and deep, as if he had thousands of words to say but didn't know where to start.
Mu Nanyan finally came back to her senses, and forced a smile on her lips, but her voice was a little dry:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, and her fingertips turned slightly white. She had never thought that she would meet him again on such an occasion.
At this moment, Yun Qianxue walked over quickly. Her eyes flickered between Mu Nanyan and Su Muyang, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
She stretched out her hand and took Su Muyang's arm, saying coquettishly:
"Brother Muyang, are you okay? Why did you suddenly come here?"
Her voice was sweet, yet with a hint of deliberate unnaturalness.
Mu Nanyan's eyes fell on the two people's arms linked together. She felt like something was stabbed in her heart. She quickly lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes and said calmly:
"You guys chat first, I have something to do and I'll leave first."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave, her steps hurried, as if she wanted to escape from this suffocating scene.
However, Su Muyang suddenly let go of Yun Qianxue's hand and grabbed Mu Nanyan's wrist.
