Chapter 167  : No Point Being Envious

“Hello, Mr. Huo.”

Fang Xiaocheng and Wang Dazhi both greeted him. Huo Yunshen nodded at Fang Xiaocheng with a smile.

When he moved his gaze from Fang Xiaocheng to Wang Dazhi, his warm glimmering eyes instantly turned sharp and cold.

Those eyes sent a chill running down Wang Dazhi’s spine. It was his first time meeting a famous person in such close proximity. He gulped, feeling uneasy.

Especially Elvis’s eyes. They looked hostile. Why?

Had he offended him before?

Xu Xiyan was wondering why, ever since Fang Xiaocheng and Wang Dazhi had come in, the harmonious atmosphere of the room had become strange?

The first person to break the odd atmosphere was Ying Bao. When she saw Fang Xiaocheng and Wang Dazhi, she ran happily toward them and hugged their legs. “Orange Mommy! Uncle Dazhi!”

“Hey, Cherry! What a good girl!”

Fang Xiaocheng took the little girl’s hand and walked in, Wang Dazhi following behind. They all sat down on the sofa. Xu Xiyan poured them some drinks and brought out a plate of fruit.

They chatted for a while. Then Xu Xiyan said, “You guys stay here and chat. I’ll go prepare dinner.”

Fang Xiaocheng knew that they were having steam boat tonight and she didn’t want to tire Xu Xiyan. “I’ll come help.”

The two women left. Ying Bao watched some cartoons. The two men were left sitting opposite each other, and the strange atmosphere crept in again.

Wang Dazhi, who rarely had much to say, appeared even more uneasy and quiet in front of Huo Yunshen.

Huo Yunshen picked up his cup of tea, quietly observing his rival between sips.

Wang Dazhi was a big man, and looked like an honest person, but he seemed to be a bit dim-witted.

No matter how Huo Yunshen looked at him, there didn’t seem to be anything special about this man.

What did Xu Xiyan see in him?

Wang Dazhi noticed that Huo Yunshen was watching him. He had been staring at him with those unfriendly eyes. He was starting to sweat.

What should I do?

I knew I shouldn’t have come in the first place.

Huo Yunshen looked at him for a moment, then put down his cup and asked, “Mr. Wang, both of you were from Peijing University?”

The superstar Elvis was talking to him!

Wang Dazhi was flattered. He thought that Huo Yunshen was asking about him and Fang Xiaocheng. He replied, smiling dumbly, “Yes, she was majoring in Chinese and I was majoring in computer science.”

“How long have you two been together?”

“Eight years,” Wang Dazhi answered truthfully.

Eight years... He and Xu Xiyan had been in love for eight years!?

Huo Yunshen was really shocked by that number. He felt a bitter pang in his heart at the thought of Wang Dazhi being together with Xu Xiyan for so long.

There was no point being envious.

If he had not gone abroad and stayed in Peijing, could he have met Xu Xiyan earlier?

Huo Yunshen seemed to have fallen into deep thought and no longer spoke.

Wang Dazhi quietly wiped off some cold sweat. He couldn’t exactly explain why he had felt extremely stressed out in the presence of the superstar.

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long before Xu Xiyan called them to dinner, and the negative vibes lingering around Wang Dazhi and Huo Yunshen were soon lifted.

Xu Xiyan put the double-flavored steam boat on the table. Fang Xiaocheng brought the ingredients out. Ying Bao ran into the kitchen for chopsticks.

They all sat at the table. Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen sitting on one side, Fang Xiaocheng and Wang Dazhi on the other. Ying Bao sat alone at the end of the table.

While they were eating, Huo Yunshen continued to stare at Wang Dazhi secretly.

He could not understand why Wang Dazhi was picking food for Fang Xiaocheng’s plate.

According to Huo Yunshen’s logic, Xu Xiyan should be sitting with her boyfriend, Wang Dazhi.

That Wang Dazhi was supposed to be picking food for Xu Xiyan!

Was it because his appearance had upset Wang Dazhi, and he was deliberately doing that to irritate Xu Xiyan?
