Fan Yu gradually lifted his gaze and asked her calmly.

Fu Xi was stunned by that simple sentence of his; afraid she had heard it wrongly, she stared at him blankly with her pair of enlarged eyes.

Why did he want to help her since they did not even know each other?

“Do you find it weird?” Fan Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a pair of smiley eyes.

He seemed to have seen through her thoughts as he kept the smile beneath his gaze and said, “Perhaps, it is because I could tell that you are really into the art of tie-dye. Also, it was not your wish to help Mo Kun run the fashion show; otherwise, you would not have regretted your actions at the very last minute and got your companions to help Nian Xiaomu.”

Fan Yu paused as he spoke and shifted his gaze toward the public square that was bustling with people crowding around the bonfire.

“Everyone makes mistakes. The most important thing is not to pay a painful price for their mistakes, but to realize your mistakes and turn over a new leaf.”

Fan Yu shifted his gaze toward Fu Xi and stared at her fixedly.

As their eyes met, Fu Xi was in such a stupor from the light beneath his eyes that she could not speak.

She had thought that she would definitely not be forgiven for doing such an evil deed and not be able to turn back once she had made a mistake.

However, now, Fan Yu was telling her that even though a mistake could not be undone, being able to make up for it in time was in fact way more important.

Could she still… have a chance to repent?

“What do you want me to do?” Fu Xi bit her lips and asked in a soft voice.

She did not know if it was right for her to trust a person whom she was meeting for the very first time.

However, her instincts told her that he was not a bad person.

A graceful and gentle impression was displaced from the royal aura that was shining through his entire body, so much that it seemed like there would be many others rushing to serve him even if he was indeed a bad person…

“Don’t worry, I would not tell you to do things that are against your conscience. I only want you to step up and tell the truth.”

Fan Yu stood up from the ground and bent forward to pick up his business suit.

He flicked the dust on the surface away.

Just as he was about to say something else, he saw Zheng Yan’s figure appear in front of him.

Fu Xi was standing with her back to the light and Zheng Yan could not see her face clearly. However, when she saw her silhouette and knew that she was a female, she started to tease Fan Yu excitedly.

“I was wondering why you disappeared all of a sudden. And so, it turns out that you had sneaked out to chat with a pretty girl. Way to go, Young Master Fan!”

“…”

“No, we don’t know each other, just that…” Fu Xi tried to explain on Fan Yu’s behalf when she noticed the frozen expression on his face.

However, Zheng Yan refused to listen and giggled while covering her mouth.

She was walking toward them but swiftly retreated backward soon after.

“I understand, I understand! I shall not disturb the two of you, I will return now. You guys can take your time to chat!”

As Zheng Yan spoke, she waved her hands and ran away!

“…”

Fu Xi stared at Fan Yu with a confused face.

However, Fan Yu’s expression had already recovered to its tranquil state. As he fished out a business card from his pocket, he passed it to her and said, “My mobile number is written here. My assistant will be here to fetch you tomorrow, if you have not changed your mind, that is.”

Fu Xi took the business card from him and lifted her head to look at him.

Fan Yu flashed a smile at her before he turned around to leave.

Fu Xi was left standing rooted to the ground as she quietly watched him disappear from her sight. With the help of the moonlight, she lowered her head and took a look at the name on the business card: “Fan Yu…”

Fan Yu walked away with quick steps. Just as he reached the car park, he saw Zheng Yan, who was about to leave.

Zheng Yan was stunned when she saw him.

She stood on tip-toe and looked behind him. Then, she asked in a perplexed tone, “Where is that girl? Why did you come back alone?”
