"Don't call me Mr. Yang—it sounds awkward. Just call me Yang Ce." Yang Ce nodded in satisfaction as he spoke.
"All right, then I'll call you Yang Ce. And you shouldn't call me Miss Shu either—just call me Shu Ya." Here Shu Ya paused, then added, "Or you could call me Xiao Ya."
"Xiao Ya?" Yang Ce's hand on the steering wheel gave a sudden jerk. He murmured the name, then said with a rather strange expression, "On second thought, I'll just call you Shu Ya. I'm not used to calling you Xiao Ya."
"Why not?" Watching Yang Juehuan's expression, Shu Ya's heart tightened as well. He used to call her Xiao Ya.
To be continued.
693. A Tangled Heart
"Nothing," Yang Mo shook his head with a touch of self-mockery. "You wouldn't understand what those two words mean to me."
"Ah?" Shu Ya started, then her heart leapt with joy. Could it be that he had not forgotten her after all? Thrilled, she was just about to speak and probe a little further when a phone began to ring.
"Sorry, I need to take this." Yang Heng gave a smile, put on his Bluetooth headset, and pressed the answer button. "Hello."
"Yang Ce, where are you?" Chen Shutang's voice came from the other end.
"Ha ha, Mengyan. I'm out running a few errands. What is it—something the matter?" Yang Yanchuan said.
"Did you know Shu Ya is coming to Songjiang to hold a concert?" Chen Shutang said. "I heard your uncle's group is the organizer, is that right?"
"Yes." Yang Ce glanced at Shu Ya beside him, then said, "What, do you want me to get you an autograph?"
"If there's a signed CD, then yes, get one for me, heh heh." Chen Shutang laughed slyly. "I was only going to ask you for a couple of concert tickets—I never imagined you could get an autograph too."
"No problem, leave it to me," Yang Yanzhou said. "I'll call you tonight."
After hanging up, Yang Minlan smiled at Shu Ya and said, "My girlfriend—she's a fan of yours. She asked me to get her a signed CD."
As for concert tickets, Mingyang Group was the organizer, so naturally they could get as many as they wanted. VIP tickets would be no problem either.
"Ah?" When Shu Ya heard that the caller was Yang Ce's girlfriend, an indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart, and for a moment she lost her composure.
"What's wrong, don't want to give me one?" Seeing Shu Ya silent, Yang Ce assumed she was unwilling, and grew somewhat annoyed. I did save your life, after all, didn't I? Even asking you for a signed CD has to be this much trouble?
"N-no, that's not it." Shu Ya came back to herself and smiled rather unnaturally. "Of course I can. I'll get one for you right now."
Shu Ya dealt with a great many social obligations every day, and plenty of people made this sort of request of Yang Cen, so she generally kept a few signed CDs in her bag.
With that, Shu Ya opened her handbag and took out several copies of her latest album.
"You have this many?" Yang Ce glanced at the albums in Shu Ya's hands, then scooped them all up at once. "Give them all to me. I expect plenty of people will be asking me for CDs."
"Uh—" Shu Ya had not expected Yang Ce to be so overbearing, claiming them all for himself in one go. Still, she said nothing, only shook her head helplessly. "All right."
Yang Ce was still a little angry at Shu Ya's silence a moment ago, and this was his small retaliation. He felt he ought to be more forceful with Shu Ya—better yet, make her afraid of him, so that she would not dare casually spread what she had seen aboard the Alice.
A moment ago, when Shu Ya heard Yang Yanzhou say that the two words "Xiao Ya" meant a great deal to him, her heart had surged with emotion. She had nearly been unable to stop herself from telling Yang Ce right then and there that she—she was that very person.
But Yang Juehuan's phone call had thoroughly dispelled that notion. She was afraid. It seemed Yang Ce was on very good terms with his current girlfriend. Even if she told him the truth, would he accept her?
