Chapter 51.1: Stars

After the meal, Yan Xingzhi sent Cen Ning and her roommates back to school.

While the girls walked to the dormitory, they laughed and chatted with Meng Peiyan. Cen Ning knew that Meng Peiyan was a goddess-like figure in the hearts of her roommates, so she didn’t bother them and just quietly watched everyone’s enthusiasm.

When they were almost downstairs in the dormitory, a roommate suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Hey, have you guys… noticed something strange?”

“What?”

“I remember that Meng Peiyan mentioned her favourite type on a certain program before, and she mentioned soldiers at that time, right?”

The scene was silent for a moment, and Chen Miao tentatively asked in a daze, “So…?”

“Isn’t Mr Yan a soldier? … I now feel more and more that Mr Yan is very similar to the back of the previous scandal photo.” After speaking, the roommate covered her mouth and looked at Cen Ning nervously.

The two roommates stared at Cen Ning.

“Gbbbb!”

“So you knew it when you saw it?”

“So the boy Meng Peiyan likes is your boyfriend!”

“So you took a boy from Meng Peiyan!”

…

One after another, one singing and one harmonizing, it was like they were enacting a play.

Cen Ning signalled for them to calm down. “That photo was a misunderstanding. He had nothing to do with her at the time. They were just friends. In fact, there were many people present, but the reporter only took pictures of the two of them.”

“That means that Meng Peiyan likes Mr Yan, but Mr Yan is devoted to you till death!”

Cen Ning’s forehead sweated slightly. “Keep your voice down, don’t be so exaggerated.”

Chen Miao grabbed her hand at once. “Ningning! Don’t worry, I won’t be angry with you just because Meng Peiyan was once my goddess. Love! It’s all mutual.”

Cen Ning: “No…”

“But you are really powerful. Tell me, does Meng Peiyan still like Mr Yan?”

Another roommate chimed in. “Think carefully, Meng Peiyan’s eyes never left him this entire evening, Ningning! You have to be careful, anyway, it’s Meng Peiyan, the dream goddess in many men’s hearts. You better watch closely and don’t let your boyfriend be stolen.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? It’s so unlucky.”

“Eh, this is also a kind reminder.”

Listening to what her roommates said, Cen Ning smiled lightly and continued walking.

Watch closely?

What was considered watching closely?

In mid-May, Yan Guofeng celebrated his birthday.

Originally, Yan Guofeng’s low-key personality didn’t like big birthdays, but this time his daughters insisted, so he compromised and held one.

The location was in a courtyard in the suburbs. On that day, relatives, friends and wealthy businessmen from all over the world would be invited to attend.

On such a big day, as a small part of representing the Yan family’s face, Cen Ning naturally had to dress up to attend. Thus, Cen Ning set off with Zhang Ziyi, who was also going to try on dresses.

Cen Ning basically never wore such grand clothing, but Zhang Ziyi was different. She had gone to many big occasions with her family when she was young, so she was very experienced.

This time, the two went to the dress shop that Zhang Ziyi often went to.

“Miss Zhang, this is a new style designed by our costume designer. See if you like it.” The waiter followed Zhang Ziyi very attentively and introduced to her endlessly.

Zhang Ziyi looked around and finally stopped in front of a black dress.

The front of this dress is quite satisfactory, but the back is completely hollowed out. It was not completely a mature style. The designer’s small designs on the neckline and skirt made this dress mature and a little dexterous.

“Miss Zhang really has a good eye. This dress is a little sweet, but also a little sexy. It’s very suitable for you at such a flowery age.”

Zhang Ziyi also liked this one. She turned her head to look at Cen Ning. “Ningning, try this one.”

Cen Ning originally thought that Zhang Ziyi was choosing for herself, but he didn’t expect that it was for her after looking for a long time.

“Ah, this… This isn’t very good.”

“How is it not so good? I think it’s very good, especially suitable for you.”

Cen Ning looked at the design on the back of the dress and silently took a step back. “This one is a bit too revealing.”

“Tsk, it’s just showing your back. There’s no need to make a fuss. Besides, you are in your early twenties, it’s time to start this style.”

Cen Ning: “…”

“Trust my eyes. This is definitely suitable for you.” Zhang Ziyi said to the clerk next to her, “Take it out and give it to my friend to try.”

“Okay.”

After getting pushed and shoved, Zhang Ziyi finally coaxed Cen Ning to change into this dress.
