Chapter 719 Special Existence
The appearance of Ou Jinghuan in the banquet hall caused the crowd to surge even more, as if flowing water, all converging in one direction.
Guests who had been waiting at the entrance of the banquet hall saw Ou Jinghuan as early as the first floor.
They couldn't wait to squeeze up, and the others who had been waiting for a long time on the second floor and finally saw Ou Jinghuan also followed.
However, Ou Jinghuan had no intention of talking to those people. He walked with his head held high, looking down on the world with an air of arrogance, toward Li Chuyue, whom he most wanted to see.
With his extremely keen insight, he noticed Li Chuyue's unhappiness from afar.
He never expected that it was his own fault that made Li Chuyue unhappy.
Therefore, Ou Jinghuan concluded that it was Xu Zhishan and the others standing next to Li Chuyue who had upset Li Chuyue.
However, as he gradually approached Li Chuyue and the others, he was unable to discern from their expressions who was guilty.
Finally, standing beside Li Chuyue, he sensed her unusual behavior even more and felt the unpleasant atmosphere even more.
At this moment, Li Chuyue's body language betrayed her as she faced Ou Jinghuan's advances, and she did not resist his closeness.
Although she wasn't very happy, she didn't want Ou Jinghuan to think that she was upset because he had praised another woman.
So, while she was angry and didn't want to look at Ou Jinghuan, she pretended to be calm and smiled.
However, even the slightest change in Li Chuyue's emotions could not escape Ou Jinghuan's sharp eyes, which made Ou Jinghuan tense up instantly.
His gaze towards Li Chuyue was gentle, and his thin lips slowly approached her ear, his tone exceptionally tender as he spoke:
"I'm sorry... I left for so long without telling you before."
Have you been waiting long? Are you angry with me? Hmm?
Ou Jinghuan realized that he had left Li Chuyue's side for so long without saying goodbye, so he immediately apologized to her.
His confidence, which he had recently expressed to Ying that Li Chuyue really wanted to see him, has now turned into unease.
Because he didn't know what had happened to Li Chuyue and the others, he felt that he was the most likely person to have angered Li Chuyue.
"It's nothing." Li Chuyue remained motionless in the face of Ou Jinghuan's apology, but she still responded.
Upon hearing this, Ou Jinghuan was startled, and his arm around Li Chuyue's waist tightened.
Firstly, Li Chuyue responded to him, but clearly did not accept his apology; secondly, she did not deny that she was angry with him.
He could sense that it wasn't just what he said that made Li Chuyue unhappy; the strange atmosphere among them made him suspicious.
Ou Jinghuan didn't ask Li Chuyue any more questions. The gentle expression he had when he looked at Li Chuyue turned increasingly cold the moment she slowly raised her head.
He quickly scanned the faces of the people around Li Chuyue, carefully observing each person's expression.
At this moment, Xu Zhishan was still holding back her anger, her bright and beautiful face puffed up with sullen expression.
Firstly, she was angry that Xiao Yueyue was still fantasizing about getting back what she hadn't cherished before, and even wanted to interfere in the relationship between Chuyue and her cousin.
Secondly, she was angry at herself for wanting to cherish someone and pull them out of the picture, but she received no response and never managed to do so.
Ou Junli's expression was almost identical to Xiao Yueyue's; both were shocked by Ou Jinghuan's domineering entrance, which resembled that of a protagonist.
But Ou Junli remembered that she had brought Xiao Yueyue to find Li Chuyue and the others, and that unpleasant things had happened before.
This made her quickly lower her head, looking as if she had done something wrong and felt guilty.
She went from admiring him at the beginning to now being afraid to look him in the eye, as if she was afraid of being disliked by him.
This was completely opposite to Xiao Yueyue; she didn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Having not seen Ou Jinghuan for a long time, her eyes lit up like stars the moment she looked up and saw him.
She wanted to rush up and hug Au King-wan immediately to express how much she missed him and how happy she was to see him.
But just as Xiao Yueyue was about to lift her foot, she quickly noticed Li Chuyue suddenly turning around and not looking at Ou Jinghuan.
She immediately thought of Ou Jinghuan's dislike of others getting too close to him, especially women.
So, instead of impulsively running up to greet Ou Jinghuan, she suppressed her excitement and joy, watching him walk towards her with starry eyes.
Just as Xiao Yueyue blushed and was about to greet them, she saw a scene that shocked her.
Her pupils dilated and contracted as she stared intently at Ou Jinghuan and Li Chuyue's bodies pressed tightly together.
And then there was that hand, intimately and domineeringly wrapped around Li Chuyue's waist, full of aggression and possessiveness.
Ou Jinghuan's apology, in particular, left her speechless for a long time.
Xiao Yueyue couldn't believe that what she was seeing and hearing was real, and she couldn't believe that Ou Jinghuan would be so close to a woman.
She recalled that in all the years she had known Ou Jinghuan, she had only briefly touched his arm.
What left a deep impression on her and was the most intimate touch between her and Ou Jinghuan was actually accidental.
That time, Xiao Yueyue was chatting with her classmates in the classroom when she happily took a step back.
Then, she unexpectedly bumped into Ou Jinghuan, who was standing behind her at the desk.
By then, Ou Jinghuan, who had started exercising, had already shed his frail appearance.
Although he hasn't grown taller yet, he has already become an unmissable presence in the school in terms of both looks and grades.
During that accidental physical contact between Xiao Yueyue and Ou Jinghuan, she did notice whether Ou Jinghuan showed any disgust.
However, Ou Jinghuan did not show the displeasure that he would not deliberately hide when other girls deliberately approached him.
This made Xiao Yueyue feel that she was a special person in Ou Jinghuan's heart, at least she was not rejected by Ou Jinghuan like other girls.
Although she was unable to have any closer interactions with Ou Jinghuan afterward, the special difference between them was enough to make her heart flutter.
But what she was seeing now shattered her years of self-indulgent fantasy.
At this moment, Xiao Yueyue finally realized that Xu Zhishan had not lied to her before, and that Ou Jinghuan had really changed.
And there really were other women who could get much, much closer to Ou Jinghuan than she could when she stood next to him, even with their bodies pressed together.
Especially when she met Ou Jinghuan's cold gaze, she didn't sense any joy in seeing him.
At this moment, Xiao Yueyue was somewhat taken aback, and a trace of sadness began to flash in her eyes.
Knowing who Ou Jinghuan was looking at her with such a cold expression for, she understood even more the meaning behind Xu Zhishan's words to her.
She felt very conflicted; her excitement and joy quickly turned into sadness and dejection.
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yueyue forced a polite, albeit insincere, smile, a hint of sadness in her eyes, and said:
"Jinghuan, it's been a long time..."
"..."
At this moment, Ou Jinghuan did not respond immediately to Xiao Yueyue's greeting.
