Who is this man, and why does he have such a strong presence?
Han Yao was filled with fear.
“Sister Han, I told you before, the reason I wanted to become a star was to find the missing Xue An. Now that he has returned, I might as well not continue being a star,” Fan Mengxue said.
Han Yao shuddered, then looked at Fan Mengxue in disbelief.
“Do you know what you’re talking about? Your acting career has just started to take off; an endless array of flowers and applause await you ahead, yet you choose to retreat?”
Fan Mengxue lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing Fan Mengxue like this, Han Yao couldn’t help but clench her teeth, then mustered the courage to say to Xue An, “Mr. Xue, I am sorry, I take back what I said earlier. But please understand, Mengxue is like a daughter to me, and her sudden withdrawal is truly disappointing.”
Xue An remained noncommittal.
Han Yao continued, “I believe you are no ordinary man, but I think a successful and even world-famous Mengxue will be much better than a woman who only knows to be around you.”
“Why are you telling me this?” Xue An said indifferently.
Han Yao replied, “I hope you can persuade her.”
“I said before, Mengxue is a living person. Whatever she wants to do, I will support it.”
Han Yao then turned to Fan Mengxue, “Mengxue, I hope you can think it over carefully. Moreover, Stephen will also be coming to Beijiang in the next couple of days. If you make up your mind, I can take you to meet him.” Fan Mengxue did not utter a word.
Han Yao looked at Xue An, then, hesitating to speak further, she left.
After Xue An went upstairs and settled the two young girls, Fan Mengxue asked in a trembling voice, “Xue An, do you think I should go?”
Xue An smiled slightly, “I’ve already said, to live is simply to follow one’s heart. If you like it, do it; if you don’t, don’t. It’s that simple!”
“But…” Fan Mengxue was also conflicted.
She didn’t want to leave Xue An.
But she was also aware that Xue An’s current attitude towards her was far from liking her.
Especially with An Yan, whom she had never met, standing between them.
This made her feel even less confident.
If she could become a world-famous star, perhaps… that might increase her chances of being accepted by Xue An. Fan Mengxue spent the night in turmoil.
Finally.
The day of the auction arrived.
Qin Yu arrived early to drive Xue An.
When she saw that Xue An was still wearing his usual clothes, she frowned slightly.
“Mr. Xue, don’t you have any other clothes?”
Xue An shook his head and said indifferently, “What, do I need to change clothes just to attend an auction?”
“Not necessarily, but as this is a gathering of many merchants in Beijiang, it would be better if you and your two daughters dressed more formally!” Xue An remained noncommittal.
However, the two young girls were thrilled at the prospect of new clothes.
A woman, no matter how young, is still a woman.
As long as she’s a woman, she is naturally defenseless against new clothes.
Xue An didn’t actually care about these things, but for his daughters’ sake, he was indifferent.
Fan Mengxue didn’t need to worry, as she had brought enough clothes with her despite her hasty return to Beijiang.
At that moment, Fan Mengxue, dressed in a finely crafted cheongsam, exuded a gentle yet dignified grace.
Qin Yu drove Xue An and the others to Beijiang City’s most upscale commercial clubhouse, Silver Dragon Plaza.
“Let’s try these on first,” Fan Mengxue whispered.
