Chapter 109: 109: Cruise Ship Party (3) The identity of Yue Xuexia had easily spread on the cruise. There were lots of people who wanted to meet her, especially those who were looking for investors for their companies. Unfortunately, before they could approach her, she and her assistant had already climbed up the stairs that lead to the second floor of the cruise ship. That upper deck was reserved by a few seniors with high standing, not only in the business industry but also in the military and the state itself. It was not simple to climb up the stairs. You need an acquaintance staying on the upper deck who will bring you up. With only seniors staying on the deck, the younger generations can hardly stay in that place. Though for Yue Xuexia, this is not that hard, as Grandpa Tian had personally informed the guards about her. As expected, the moment Yue Xuexia reached the stairs connecting to the upper deck of the cruise ship, the guards bowed their heads and didn't block her at all. An old butler from the Tian Clan even welcomed her arrival with courtesy. "Young Mistress Yue, please, I am Butler Cui from the Tian Clan. The old master had been waiting for your arrival. This sir, your secretary can also come with us." "Thank you, Old Sir. Please serve this tea for the seniors," she said. Yue Xuexia brought with her cute tea can that looks extremely familiar in the eyes of Butler Cui. This looks similar to those tea leaves which she had gifted to the old master before. It's that tea that had mystifying effects of healing. As soon as he saw the tin can, a delighted smile appeared on his old face as he accepted it. Butler Cui said, "This is a good tea. Don't worry my lady, I will help you pour it for the old master and his guests. They will definitely like it." Yue Xuexia just smiled as she climbed up the stairs with Taiyang's support. Her ascension to the second floor gave those who were watching her figure with feelings of envy, jealousy, greed and anger. They just couldn't understand why such a young lady would be welcomed by seniors like Old Tian and the others. Among these states there is one that gives a different feeling. It was a young man who looked like an elite. Wearing a navy blue suit holding a wine glass while following his father talking to some friends within the crowd. His name was Zen Fanyu. Zen Fanyu saw the side profile of Yue Xuexia who was about to climb the upper deck and mumbles, "Xuexue?" --- Zen Fanyu was Yue Xuexia's batchmate and ex-boyfriend in college. The relationship between the two used to be good. It was just after Yue Xuexia graduated from high school abroad in the UAE. She returned to her home country to continue her studies in college and took a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. At that time, Yue Xuexia's programming was only done as a hobby, and she didn't have any idea what course she should take in college. Papa Yue, a certified electrical engineer who had been working abroad, told her to try taking electrical engineering like him. She is good in both mathematics and English. As she had no idea what kind of course she wanted, Yue Xuexia took electrical engineering at a famous technological institute in their country. She took an entrance exam for it and passed with flying colors. After returning to the country, Yue Xuexia stayed at the dormitory offered by the university. Her parents and siblings remain abroad, as the former are working while the latter are still in school. Only Yue Xuexia returned to their country and lived in dorms. During weekends and holidays, she would go and stay over at her grandma Hialun's house to be with her grandma. Yue Xuexia and Zen Fanyu were batchmates since they were freshmen. The number of female students in this course had a ratio of 3:30. There are only three females in this batch, and Yue Xuexia is included. The elective subjects of this Electrical Engineering course are made up of different branches of mathematics, and Yue Xuexia enjoyed them quite well. It is just that there would be group homework that requires them to do it together. Moreover, the harder the course is, the fewer students remain in their batch. Among those who stayed strong, Yue Xuexia and Zen Fanyu are included. In their sophomore year, the batch of 30 students was down to less than half. The familiar faces disappear one by one. Yet, Yue Xuexia, who didn't actually choose this course, still remained. Having fewer familiar faces among their batchmates, those who had stayed remained closer and became friends than the actual acquaintances they used to be in freshman year. It was at this point that Yue Xuexia and Zen Fanyu had a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. They had been classmates for two years and had been going to the same classes for those years. So, their friends weren't surprised about this. The relationship between the two was quite famous; after all, one is a beauty and the other is a handsome man. It is just that Yue Xuexia's health took a wrong turn when they were about to reach their third year. Her asthma attacks became frequent, leading to her being absent for a few days. There would also be some seizures as her heart is weak. But the schedule at their university is quite strict, and an absence would equate to missing a week of classes. That's how fast-paced the teaching at this university is. Yue Xuexia didn't want to affect her boyfriend, Zen Fanyu's studies and told him that he shouldn't miss his classes because of her. Who would have thought this would cause a change in everything in between the two. Just as Yue Xuexia's just returned to class after half a month of rest, everything in her class had changed. When she arrived in the classroom greeting her friends, they couldn't help, but give her pitying looks. Even though Yue Xuexia is quite dense with how frequent their gazes are, it truly made her uncomfortable. So, that afternoon when she just returned to the university, she came looking for Zen Fanyu. Yue Xuexia visited his dormitory and as she is a regular visitor the guards knew about her. She was finally anxious when the guards looked at her with the same eyes as her friends. No one told her the reason, but out of curiosity she finally asked the guard why she was looking at her in such a way. The guard was a kind uncle who would always greet her with a smile, likewise she treated this uncle guard with the same courtesy. Finally, she learned why they are looking at her with pitying looks. It seems that Zen Fanyu had reunited with his ex-girlfriend who broke up with him due to the circumstance that their university and course is different. They fought and broke up just after Zen Fanyu and her finished their freshmen year. In the eyes of everyone, she had become a substitute for this girl and was finally thrown away after Zen Fanyu and she had gotten back together. She was shocked and was in disbelief. She doesn't want to believe the words of others until she sees them with her own eyes. So, she waited at Zen Fanyu's dormitory and waited for him to come out. Yue Xuexia heard from Uncle Guard that the girl had visited Zen Fanyu on this day. Who would have thought that the fool was her? She waited for hours only to see her boyfriend holding another girl as they came out of the dormitory. Yue Xuexia immediately hid as he stifled her cry. The kind guard helped her find the couple who were coming out of the dormitory. In the end, before the two walk away, Yue Xuexia comes out and confronts the two. Zen Fanyu was surprised to see Yue Xuexia appearing in his dormitory and immediately felt guilty that he wanted to push away the woman in his arms, but the woman held his arms tightly. "Xuexue!?" called Zen Fanyu in shock. The woman narrowed her eyes and acted coquettish towards Zen Fanyu. "Sweetheart, who is she?" "Please don't speak. This is something between Fanyu and I." Yue Xuexia's cold words frightened the girl, but instead of leaving the side of Zen Fanyu, she had grabbed him closer as if she was afraid of him. She acted like a little bitch before Yue Xuexia. Yue Xuexia had just recently got cured from her illness and tried her best to control her breathing and not to suffer another seizure. Her face turned paler at this scene making her look a sickly beauty in the eyes of others. This is also the reason why she looks at her with pity. Such a nice and pretty girl, she just has to find a scum to break her heart. "Zen Fanyu, is it right for me to believe that you've betrayed me?" asked Yue Xuexia. The man wanted to explain that his mouth was opening and closing; unfortunately, the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat. This silence gave Yue Xuexia the answer she needed to know. After trying to calm down her breathing and erratic heartbeats, Yue Xuexia only said, "I understand. Goodbye." She walks away without turning back. Her words were enough to stab Zen Fanyu's heart especially upon seeing Yue Xuexia's pale face. He actually wanted to explain why he made this choice, but seeing her thin back who gathered the last of her strength to leave, he couldn't help but frown. He pushed the girl holding her arm. Zen Fanyu gave her a warning. "You should know what to do and what shouldn't be done." After this day, Zen Fanyu wanted to talk to Yue Xuexia and explained the reason for his actions. Who would have thought that after that day, Yue Xuexia would completely disappear from the university and when he checked with his professors it was said that Yue Xuexia was taken away by her family for a private reason they couldn't tell him why she left the university. --- Zen Fanyu didn't expect that after all these eyes, their path would once again cross. He was accompanying his father for tonight's charity party. Their family had another big project and is looking for investors that will invest in their business. This is the reason why he and his father are at this cruise ship party. He whispered to his father, "Father, I would like to go to the bathroom." "Go. Watch your actions. There are too many people on this ship we can't afford to offend," Mr. Zen said. Zen Fanyu, after separating with his father, looked around and found the stairs where he saw Yue Xuexia going up just now. He was delighted and a bit excited to meet Yue Xuexia after all these years. It's just that the separation between the two of them is unclear and he couldn't untie the knots in his heart. It was because of his memories of Yue Xuexia that he remained single until now. As for the woman from before, their relationship didn't last that long and he broke up with her after he graduated. Just as he was about to climb up the stairs leading to the upper deck, two strong-looking guards had come to block him. "This area is forbidden for entrance. Only VIP clients can go up!" "Sir! Please go back. The upper deck is reserved by Young Master Tian for his grandfather and his old friend. Uninvited guests are not allowed to go up." "Pardon me, I didn't know. Please forgive my rudeness." Zen Fanyu actually wanted to force his way up until he heard that the one who reserved the upper deck was none other than the host of this party, Tian Qiuya. The young heir of the Tian Clan is one of the bigshots on this cruise ship. He walks away with his eyes lingering on the stairs and ignores the laughter of the crowd for his actions. Though he felt embarrassed that he was blocked by the guards, he was more interested in seeing if the gorgeous lady he saw was truly Yue Xuexia. He failed to control his curiosity and walked back to ask the guards. "Excuse me. I would like to ask if the lady you just climbed up is called Yue Xuexia?" asked Zen Fanyu. This query made the guards look at him twice, but they didn't respond. Butler Cui, who just returned carrying a tray of newly brewed tea, overheard the question of this young man. Butler Cui asked, "This young man. Do you know Young Mistress Yue?" "Young Mistress? Are you talking about Xuexue?" asked Zen Fanyu. Butler Cui frowned at such an intimate call for Miss Yue's name. It seems that this young man actually knows about Miss Yue. "How about this? Tell me your name, and I will go up and ask the Young Mistress about this. Please wait here for a moment," said Butler Cui. "My name is Zen Fanyu."
