Chapter 29: 29 Uninvited Guest_l
The man who was teasing Ding Yinuo was none other than the Dean’s son, Pei
Zexi…
Ding Yinuo nonchalantly threw a piece of chocolate at Pei Zexi’s face,
“Scram! When have I ever been uninterested in women?”
“Psh, since Miss Song got married, which woman have you been good with? If you can name one, I’ll drink all three bottles today.”
Pei Zexi’s words hit me with surprise.
What does that have to do with me? Why am I suddenly being brought into this?
Ding Yinuo sat on the sofa, he didn’t answer Pei Zexi, but he stared at me for a few seconds.
As far as my memory could reach, Ding Yinuo was universally acknowledged as the most popular guy at school since high school.
He was tall and slender, with clear-cut handsome features, fair skin, and his monolids made even the dogs think he was deeply affectionate.
Adding to that, his father was also a well-known persona in A City. Handsome and fashionable, born into money, he had more than his fair share of female admirers back then.
However, Ding Yinuo seems to have always been a lone ranger, never choosing anyone.
Even up to his graduation from university and into his professional life, he seemed to ooze a sense of mystery, never being linked to any scandals or rumors.
This man who excelled in all aspects and was full of charm.
Has been single all this time.
1 was caught in a muddle,
All of a sudden Su Peisheng chimed in,
“Who says he wasn’t with anyone! What about Jiang Jiaying?”
When Su Peisheng brought her up, I remembered Ding Yinuo’s bizarre and mysterious romantic past.
It must have been junior year of high school.
Our class got a beautiful female transfer student.
Rumor had it her family was quite wealthy and her parents held influential positions, she loved to bully people all the time.
At that time, I cannot recall what I did to offend her. She would always gather a group of her girlfriends to target me wherever we were.
During this time, my older cousin got sick abroad. My aunt went to take care of him and my uncle was busy with work.
I didn’t bother them with these petty matters, I dealt with them myself.
In those six months, I had a lot of conflicts with Jiang Jiaying, even leading to a physical brawl at one point.
I faced severe punishment.
However, Jiang Jiaying got off scot-free due to the connections her father had, so she was free to roam our campus unscathed…
At this difficult juncture, rumors about Ding Yinuo dating Jiang Jiaying spread across the campus.
This is one of the reasons why I’ve always had something against Ding Yinuo.
As the boyfriend of my sworn enemy, he naturally became my enemy as well.
Because of this, Wenya had been berating Ding Yinuo for many years.
However, mysteriously, Ding Yinuo neither admitted to dating Jiang Jiaying nor denied their romantic relationship.
Less than a month later, the school was awash with rumors that they had broken up.
Although the truth of the matter was unknown, Jiang Jiaying quickly processed her drop-out procedure and vanished from my world.
Of course, there were other rumors at school.
Some said that Jiangs father hoped to send Jiang Jiaying abroad to study in the United States, where she could finish her education and then pick up where they left off.
Some said Jiang Jiaying fell into depression, attempted suicide, and was finally sent to the UK by her father against her will.
Opinions varied, either way, the truth was beyond my knowledge.
What relieved me during that period was, without Jiang Jiaying stirring things up, I managed to get into university smoothly.
At this moment, Pei Zexi interrupted again,
“Ahem, what about that Jiang girl? Do you really think our Mr. Ding would be interested in her?”
“Why wouldn’t he if he’s not attracted?”
“You wouldn’t know this! Mr. Ding did that for Miss Song! Don’t you know that Mr. Ding has always secretly loved Miss Song? When that Jiang girl kept harping on about not leaving Miss Song, Mr. Ding couldn’t just blatantly step in. So, he used the love card to drive the Jiang girl crazy…”
Pei Zexi’s revelation shocked me.
Just as I was about to listen more carefully, Ding Yinuo stood up to set the record straight,
“Shut it! I’m not secretly in love with anyone!”
“Hey, if you didn’t like her, why have you remained celibate for her all these years (
“Beat it! If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I’ll kick you out!” Ding Yinuo got angry, and Pei Zexi quickly changed the subject.
He poured me a glass of red wine on the spot,
“Little sis! We were just talking nonsense! Mr. Ding is a good man, faithful and considerate. Plus, he has remained celibate all these years. If you can win him over, he will surely…*cough cough*.. ”
I just smiled and didn’t say anything.
I wasn’t interested in engaging with men who made obscene remarks, let alone getting into a discussion with him.
At this moment, Su Peisheng lit a cigarette and brought the topic back to Gu Yuanzhou.
“Speaking of which, Miss Song is quite pitiful, having met a social climber like
Gu Yuanzhou; she has indeed been very unlucky.”
I spoke up in defense.
“Perhaps things are not as you think, Miss Song and Mr. Gu are in mutual affection, loving and cherishing each other…”
Just as I finished my sentence, Pei Zexi broke into exaggerated laughter.
“Young lady, it looks like you’re too innocent! You’ve been fooled, haven’t
“Is that not the case? Don’t belittle Gu Yuanzhou, he is actually quite capable!”
Setting aside Gu Yuanzhou’s cheating incident, his performance in business affairs is indeed commendable and there seems to be no issue with his character.
Moreover, when I was attracted to Gu Yuanzhou and we got to know and love each other, it was my choice.
It is confirmed that I am in love with Gu Yuanzhou.
I would never deny that my initial choice was wrong.
As soon as I finished my words, Pei Zexi laughed harder. He pointed at me and at Ding Yinuo,
“Mr. Ding, this isn’t good, how did you find another Gu Yuanzhou fangirl?”
Su Peisheng coughed lightly,
“You’ve got it all wrong! This lady is Gu Yuanzhou’s assistant.”
Pei Zexi’s laughter gradually quieted down, but he didn’t adjust his attitude. Instead, he warned me,
“Young lady, since you are so innocent and might be fooled by your boss. Let me give you a heads up, you’d better not fall in love with him. Otherwise, the consequence would be disastrous! Just take his wife as a warning.”
I replied nonchalantly, “That fire was an accident!”
No matter what wrong doings Gu Yuanzhou might have committed, at least in front of others, I must play the role of a good assistant. Otherwise, my cover would be blown.
Pei Zexi shook his head,
“Tsk tsk, seems like you’re clueless.”
Ding Yinuo seemed to be uninterested in continuing the topic,
“Alright, let’s stop here for today. No more talking about it, come on, let’s drink.’
Pei Zexi interposed,
“Mr. Ding, I think this young lady is quite naive. I think she should know what kind of person her boss really is!’
“Why dig up the past?”
“At least it could prevent her from being deceived! You don’t want her to become the second Miss Song, do you?”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yinuo looked deeply at me again, and casually asked:
“Would you fall in love with your boss?”
