It was already three-thirty in the morning when Ye Mingqian woke up. Her throat hurt as if a blade was stuck. She knocked on her heavy head and found that she was on the bed in her residence.
She had no idea when she came back or who sent her back.
Although the cup is small, the quantity is there, so I drank it down and drank it.
But she remembered Chi Yanchen's last three words clearly.
A long fight?
Ye Mingqian laughed at himself and got up from the bed. As soon as his feet hit the floor, he collapsed. He had no strength and couldn't get up for a long time.
When she touched her forehead, it felt a little hot.
Got a fever.
Not surprised by this result.
In order not to make a fool of herself in front of others and to maintain her reputation as a virtuous and virtuous woman when she married into the Huo family, she had not drank for a long time. It was strange that her body could bear it after drinking so much.
I don’t know when it started raining outside the window, pattering on the glass window.
Ye Mingqian likes rain very much, but she doesn't like it today. The drizzle makes her upset.
After lying on the ground for a while, she felt that her body had regained a little strength. She stood up slowly holding on to the edge of the bed and moved outside the bedroom.
The dim night light in the living room made Ye Mingqian's heart sink.
Chi Yanchen was sitting on the sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingers. The disposable cup on the coffee table was filled with cigarette butts. It looked like he had been here for a long time.
She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out of her throat. Her tonsils must have been inflamed.
The man on the sofa noticed her arrival, turned his face slightly, and looked straight at her.
Ye Mingqian slowly walked to the water dispenser and poured herself a glass of water. The sweet water flowed down her throat to her internal organs. After coughing twice, she felt that she had regained her voice.
"Did you send me back?" she asked, her voice still hoarse.
Chi Yanchen frowned, "It's really ugly."
Ye Mingqian paused and ignored his criticism, "Thank you."
It seems that she really pissed him off. Although Chi Yanchen was not easy to talk to in the past, he still had principles towards her. Today, he is so indifferent that he doesn't care about her life or death.
"Go find me a set of clean clothes." His voice was indifferent, as if he was instructing a servant.
Ye Mingqian couldn't refuse, so she dragged her weak body from the second bedroom to find a set of clothes that Chi Yanchen had left there last night. When she returned to the living room, he had disappeared.
The sound of rushing water came from the master bedroom behind her, and Ye Mingqian frowned and quickly relaxed.
Now is not the time to worry about this.
She stood guard outside the bathroom. As the sound of water inside disappeared, the man's arm stretched out from inside.
"Bring it here."
Ye Mingqian heard the sound and handed it over.
When Chi Yanchen came out of the bathroom covered in moisture, he saw Ye Mingqian sitting by the bed, still wearing the clothes he wore when drinking. The smell of alcohol in the room made him frown, "Go take a shower."
Ye Mingqian's heart tightened.
Seeing her reluctance, Chi Yanchen sneered: "Young Master only thinks of his own charm, but I'm still so horny."
She bit her lower lip, "I'm sorry."
For her selfishness.
Ye Mingqian took her clothes and entered the bathroom obediently.
Hot water falls from the shower head, hitting your face and body.
The small space in the bathroom filled her with a sense of security. The warm mist surrounded her body, and her body, which was chilled by fever, was slowly returning to normal.
Ye Mingqian's complexion improved a lot when she came out of the bathroom. As she wiped her hair, she saw Chi Yanchen's eyes staring at her somewhere.
She subconsciously turned sideways and tightened her neckline.
"What are you hiding from?"
This action made Chi Yanchen displeased. He pulled Ye Mingqian close and pressed her down on the bed, with an imperceptible sarcasm in his tone: "Why didn't you hide when you were doing it with me? Now you are pretending to be a chaste and fierce woman with me?"
The blood on Ye Mingqian's face faded completely, and she forced herself to stay calm, "I hope you will respect me a little, and we need to pay attention to the sense of propriety between us."
Chi Yanchen pinched her face and said in a cold tone: "Ye Mingqian, I'm not satisfied with your attitude towards me."
Ye Mingqian's pale face was stained with anger, and even his voice was trembling without her noticing it, "Chi Yanchen, this is not the reason for you to humiliate me."
"Are you in a bad mood now?" Chi Yanchen pressed his fingers harder, "Why didn't you think about my feelings when you brought that person to see me?"
Ye Mingqian closed her eyes and defended feebly, "I don't know your grudges. It's my fault for causing you trouble. What do you want me to do to calm down? As long as you ask me, I will do it."
"You don't have that much respect."
Chi Yanchen moved his palm down from Ye Mingqian's cheek, grabbed her chin and lifted it up, "I'll report to Tengtian tomorrow."
With his throat suppressed and unable to make a sound, Ye Mingqian asked with his eyes.
"Don't you want me to be satisfied?" Chi Yanchen rubbed his fingertips on her delicate skin. Before he had a thought, Chi Yanchen let go of his hand, "Stay by my side and leave when I am happy."
"Chi Yanchen, you are crazy. If Huo Jili finds out, neither of us will suffer."
Ye Mingqian covered her neck and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
"All he can know is that I'm treating you like a dog."
Chi Yanchen stood up and looked down at her: "I'm not happy. Tianqiong won't give it to you, and you can't even think of entering the Huo family."
Ye Mingqian was startled, her desire to argue was extinguished, and her arms hung down weakly.
"At eight-thirty in the morning, I hope to see you in my office on time."
She said nothing and watched Chi Yanchen leave.
The sound of closing the door sounded, and the tears that Ye Mingqian had been holding back flowed out like a flood.
She had never been so humiliated as she was today. Even when faced with Ye Shirong's suggestion that he would sell his daughter to marry her to Huo Jili, she could accept it calmly.
In the darkness, Ye Mingqian threw herself into the pillow and sobbed softly until she was tired of crying and fell asleep.
This time because of Chi Yanchen's warning, she didn't sleep peacefully, but when she woke up again two hours ago, her eyes were swollen into walnuts. Ye Mingqian looked at her haggard face in the mirror and could only cover it up with heavy makeup.
It takes nearly an hour to drive from her home to Tengtian Building, so Ye Mingqian didn't dare to delay, so she packed up and hurried to pick up the car.
At 8:28, it was almost touching the sky.
But Ye Mingqian did not show up in Chi Yanchen's office, she was stopped outside.
"I'm sorry, I haven't received any personnel transfer. People of unknown origin cannot be allowed into the president's office."
Secretary Xu was not there, but a young assistant secretary stopped her and glanced at her with a scrutinizing look.
"Then you call Chi Yanchen."
Ye Mingqian looked at the time, and it was already past eight-thirty.
"Who are you, Mr. Chi?"
When the assistant secretary saw her calling Chi Yanchen by his first name, his eyes that were just scrutinizing turned into unfriendly.
"Step aside."
Ye Mingqian had no explanation for her, she was just one of the women who admired Chi Yanchen.
