Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 704 - 696: Coincidental Meeting with an Old Friend (Part 2)
Before Yao Yiyang could respond, Charles suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulders, saying to her, "I was just about to introduce you, this is the Technical Director of ’Colors,’ my newly established company."
He glanced at Yao Yiyang and then said with a slight smile, "I guess I don’t need to introduce your names to each other."
Yao Yiyang pursed his lips and returned a smile to Charles, his gaze then shifting back to Ji Anning, his lips involuntarily tightening a bit more.
When the two were at T University, they weren’t close, so their chance meeting here didn’t give them much to talk about, and as they continued, the atmosphere became silent.
At that moment, Charles was pulled away by another group of people. Ji Anning and Yao Yiyang leaned against a table laden with champagne, Ji Anning holding a glass in her hand, not drinking, just to fit the occasion.
"These past two years, have you and..."
"Now, are you and..."
After a moment of silence, Ji Anning and Yao Yiyang suddenly and in unison turned to look at each other, prepared to ask something, their words clashing and both stopped again.
Ji Anning smiled, feeling that their questions were probably about the same person, so she didn’t hold back and continued to ask, "Have you been in contact with Yuanyuan these past two years?"
"No," Yao Yiyang shook his head, his lips curling into a faint smile; then he suddenly looked up, "But, I know she’s doing quite well now."
Ji Anning slightly tilted her head to look at him, observing the gentle smile on his lips, gradually feeling a sense of helplessness.
She too tightly pursed her lips, saying with a smile, "I thought as much, she has a cheerful personality."
Sometimes, it’s not about how hard you try, how much you give, or how much you want something to happen.
Especially with something like love, she felt that timing, location, and people, lacking any of these would not work.
"So you’re not in contact with her anymore?" Yao Yiyang suddenly asked Ji Anning.
Ji Anning nodded, "Yes, we haven’t been in touch for two or three years."
Then she looked at Yao Yiyang and asked, "Is she still in Hai City?"
"No," Yao Yiyang shook his head, "After graduating from college, she went to teach in the countryside, in that person’s hometown."
That person...that traffic policeman?
Ji Anning felt a pang of hurt for Jin Yuanyuan, wondering if she was still not over her first love with the traffic policeman?
Yao Yiyang’s voice rose again beside her, "She has lost weight, probably just a bit heavier than you are now, and she’s also gotten much tanner."
Everyone is like this, when talking about someone they like, always with some longing and some memories, Yao Yiyang’s face showed a trace of indulgence, or tenderness.
Ji Anning stared at him, hesitating for a while before cautiously asking the doubt in her heart, "Why...don’t you go find her?"
He seemed always to keep tabs on Jin Yuanyuan’s life, but it had been three years, if it was true love, why not go to her?
"It doesn’t necessarily have to be about how things stand with her, this way it’s pretty good," Yao Yiyang replied lightly.
Utterly carefree and casual.
Ji Anning couldn’t understand, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the distance, to the man surrounded by a group of young people, who also appeared so youthful and excellent, standing out distinctively among his peers.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be about where things stand with her, this way it’s pretty good...
Suddenly, she understood that back when she secretly adored him, before they were together, at least her heart still had sweetness, a trace of tiny longing, tiny fantasy, tiny anticipation.
