You're My Only Star

Chapter 298 - Difficult Situation

After work, Song Xing Xing headed over to NEXT Group headquarter to pick up her fiance. Song Xing Xing hang around the lounge to wait for him and watched as people walk past by.

At this time, the employees were rushing home and no one was paying attention to her. After waiting for a while, Song Xing Xing saw that someone was walking over to her. She raised her head and was surprised to see a familiar face in front of her.

"Song Xing Xing?" The man curled his lips into a smile the moment their gazes met. "What are you doing here?"

Song Xing Xing was not expecting that she would meet Qiu Yang at this place.

Qiu Yang is the elder brother of her high school friend, Qiu Ling Yi. Previously during her grandfather's birthday banquet, her mother had tried to set her up with Qiu Yang. The situation was uncomfortable and Song Xing Xing would still find it awkward when she met Qiu Yang.

A while ago, Qiu Yang had exchanged his contact with her.

Afterward, Qiu Yang has been texting her under the pretense of asking about the situation in Capital City. He had invited her out a few times using the same excuse.

Each time, Song Xing Xing would reject his invitation to come out. Other than answering Qiu Yang's questions and giving him the suggestion he seek, Song Xing Xing did not reply much to him. However, it does not mean that the man would give up.

"I came to meet someone," Song Xing Xing answered.

His brow shot up. "Oh? Your boyfriend?"

Song Xing Xing had once told him that she had a boyfriend. Of course, Qiu Yang thought that it was only her excuse to reject going out with him. After all, he had not heard any news that Song Xing Xing was seeing someone in their social circle.

Song Xing Xing replied to him with a smile, turning Qiu Yang into a daze.

The girl in front of him was very pretty. Her smile was warm and soft. Looking at her face made his heart skip a beat.

Qiu Yang always had a good impression of Song Xing Xing. Otherwise, he would not play along when Song Xing Xing's mother had tried to set them up.

"Why are you here as well?" Song Xing Xing glanced at the briefcase in his hand and asked, "Business meeting?"

Qiu Yang chuckled. "I had a meeting with President Lu to discuss a possible collaboration."

Song Xing Xing nodded and had no plan to continue this conversation. However, this did not stop Qiu Yang from continuing and asking her various question. He tried to ask her out by pretending that he was not familiar with the place that Song Xing Xing had suggested to him.

At this time, the elevator in front of them slid open.

The two of them turned their head at the same time and saw Special Assistant Bei Yuan step out of the elevator.

The man had a smile on his face. Bei Yuan turned to Qiu Yang and greeted him. Afterward, he turned to Song Xing Xing and spoke, "Miss Song, President Lu invited you to go upstairs."

Song Xing Xing glanced at her phone. She had arrived an hour earlier at his office. As she did not want to disturb him and his work, Song Xing Xing decided to wait in the lounge and had not mentioned to him of her arrival.

She waited in front of his elevator hoping to see him the moment he came out.

"Miss Song, those staff from the security department recognized you. They saw you waiting here and informed President Lu right away," Bei Yuan explained when he saw the puzzled look on the woman's face.

The corner of her lips twitched. Song Xing Xing was not expecting that those staff from the security department recognized her. After all, the number of times she had come to the headquarter could be counted with her fingers.

Sensing a few glances at her, Song Xing Xing raised her head and pursed her lips to a thin line upon noticing that a few staff were looking in her direction.

Special Assistant Bei Yuan had appeared in the lounge and was taking the initiative to speak with an unknown woman. With the man's identity, it was impossible not to attract attention. Moreover, a few passersby who were closer to them had heard that it was President Lu who had invited her upstairs.

"Song Xing Xing, you..." Qiu Yang did not finish his words. He was as surprised as the others upon hearing Bei Yuan's words.

Although he knew that the Song family and President Lu Xun had a good relationship, he did not think that Song Xing Xing would be very familiar with Lu Xun.

"Then, I have to excuse myself." Song Xing Xing heaved with relief upon finding a reason to escape.

Qiu Yang still had a few things that he wanted to ask her. However, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. In the end, he could only watch as the girl walked away.

Song Xing Xing lowered her head before she stood up to follow Assistant Bei Yuan.

The staff began to whisper and gossip as they watched Assistant Bei Yuan lead the girl into the special elevator that head straight to the President's floor.

Song Xing Xing heaved with relief when she could no longer sense their gazes.

Although she was used to this kind of attention because of her family, it does not mean that she was comfortable with it.

Her thoughts went back to her meeting with Qiu Yang. Song Xing Xing wondered if rumors about her with Lu Xun would spread among her circle of friends.

Qiu Yang would speak with his sister regarding this meeting and ask about her relationship with Lu Xun, right?

A heavy breath escaped her.

Song Xing Xing decided not to do anything about it. She was already engaged with Lu Xun. It would not make sense to continue to conceal her relationship with him.

If those people know, they will know.

The elevator slid open after a ding.

Bei Yuan led Song Xing Xing to the president's office and ushered her in after knocking on the door.

Song Xing Xing stepped into the office and quickly noticed that the atmosphere does not seem right. She raised her head to look at Lu Xun and saw his unhappy face.

Lu Xun spoke before she could open her mouth and ask what was going on.

"I heard that you ran into an old friend in the lounge." 

A thought came to her mind and Song Xing Xing did not know whether she wanted to laugh or cry. It was clear that someone was eating vinegar.. Whether she could come out with a satisfactory explanation or not, she would be in a difficult situation.
