Yun Meiyi was taken aback by that voice. Her brows tugged in a frown as she turned to look at the person who suddenly appeared to say this. Although it sounded familiar in her memories, still she couldn't make out where she had last heard it. Furthermore, she just couldn't bring herself to believe that now in this world she had left with many people who would turn up to support her.
She turned to look back, however since she had fallen on the floor, it was not easy for her to get the sight of the person from the midst of the crowd. She tried but failed every time and on top of that, her movements only brought more of the stinging pain to her flesh.
In the end, she gave up on the thought of catching the glance of the person and focused on keeping herself in a place to not make the pain multiply. If the man really would be there for her, he would definitely come to her. Otherwise, she would take this as another plan of Yun Jiaqi to embarrass her. After coming across her reality today, she wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be the case.
Yun Meiyi held her sprained foot and sat there with her eyes closed, enduring the pain of her ankle. She was thankful that even though just for a short moment of time, she was momentarily able to forget the pain her heart was suffering with. She was happy that at that moment, in front of so many people, due to the pain in her ankle, her defeated heart had become less embarrassed.
While on the other hand in that one voice, people's attention was quick to divert. Just moments ago, the people who were looking at Yun Meiyi turned to look toward the entrance of the banquet hall. Their curiosity to know more about the person was making them desperate.
They tried to look at the person and also caught sight of him but the brightness in the hall was just from the light of a few candles, so, it was still hard to figure out the person. They could see that there was a tall, noble build man standing at the entrance. Whispers filled the room as Yun Jiaqi also turned to look at the person.
Su Yang's eyes also narrowed in the direction of the entrance. Although his expression remained nonchalant, his eyes rippled with a different emotion mixed with suspicion.
"Who are you? Do you know my sister?" Yun Jiaqi asked, her brows frowning with doubt. Yun Meiyi hardly went out. So, she was sure that other than some counted men she couldn't be too outgoing to know many people and vice versa.
The person at the entrance remained silent, showing no interest in giving any answer.
When Yun Jiaqi saw the person not answering, she repeated again to ask. "Hello? I am asking you. Do you know my sister?" Something told her that maybe whatever the man said earlier, it wasn't for Yun Meiyi. After all, after seeing her fall from grace, who would come to take a stand for her?
"Jiaqi, I don't think he meant it to her. He must be talking to someone else." Zheng Shu Ting sneered. In her tone, it could be said her hostility towards Yun Meiyi was on another level. "After all, why would anyone want to support this soon-to-be-dead piece."
She said, and Yun Jiaqi was about to nod when suddenly, from the corner of her eyes, she saw the movement at the entrance. Turning to look once again at it, she finally saw the man moving in with his steps.
They took it wrong. This man was really here for Yun Meiyi, otherwise what else could explain his walk inside.
People whispered among themselves, as Yun Jiaqi fisted her fingers again in a fist as she saw the man coming closer and closer inside. Although due to lack of proper light, his features were not totally visible, one could still say that he had a beautiful complexion with chiseled features that could make any woman's heart weak.
People watched him walk. He moved inside leisurely as if he was taking his casual stroll in the garden where he didn't need to report or explain anything to anyone.
It was the beginning of autumn and the weather had started to take a slow turn towards winter with cold winds outside, not to mention there was a sudden storm as well. People were not particularly cold, but with the blow of sudden breeze, they were feeling themselves shiver every now and then.
But something changed when they saw the man walking in. Although they were confused, many of them felt that the more the person came in, the warmer the hall room became. It was like the person was exuding some heat that was turning the temperature of the room differently.
"This warmth … do you feel it's because of him?"
"I don't know. That doesn't make sense. He is a human, not a room heater to warm up the temperature of the room."
"What do you know? It might be his aura. Looking at his stature and earlier, hearing his magnetic voice, I could say he must have his own type of aura that would be capable of bringing all these effects. Have you not heard that people's aura does make a change in the surroundings?"
People talked among themselves. But not for once their eyes leave to follow the sight of the man, who has appeared from nowhere.
Under everyone's watchful gazes soon, the person walked almost to the middle of the hall where Yun Meiyi was sitting bracing herself with the sight of her long, raven black, wavy hair on show.
Although there were many people around, both men and women, still looking at the man's gaze at Yun Meiyi, it felt like, except for her, no other was visible to him. All his attention and focus were cast just for her and on her.
That type of gaze could easily make anyone jealous, and Yun Jiaqi was no special case in that scenario. Especially when it was related to Yun Meiyi, how could she not be envious?
"Why haven't you answered me? Who are you? And why are you looking at my sister like that?" Gritting her teeth to hold in her frustration, she asked. But seeing the man still not paying attention to her, she could no longer hold it. Stepping forward, she was about to get in front of him to ask when suddenly her movements paused seeing the man crouching down on his knees, right in front of Yun Meiyi.
"Finally, I have found you."
