Ye Mingqian lay on the back of the sofa, carefully digesting the news he received during the day.
If Aunt Chen had been braver and pointed out the fact that Huo Jili killed Mrs. Huo, surveillance could prove that he had indeed entered the ward. Even if he was not found guilty, his external reputation would be ruined.
"Only a little bit."
She felt infinite pity for this.
The sudden sound of the doorbell interrupted her thoughts.
"Why are you here?"
Ye Mingqian opened the door and found Chi Yanchen standing outside. She looked back and saw no sign of Shu Qiaoqiao.
"Send her back to Shu's house."
As if looking for a reason for him to come here, Chi Yanchen's eyes dodge, "Come by and sit here."
That goes far enough.
Her family lives in the east of the city, while the Shu family is in the wealthy area in the west of the city, bypassing most of H City.
The man's thick and long eyelashes were still hung with night dew. The softness in his heart was touched, and Ye Mingqian turned away.
"Come in, it's cold outside."
Chi Yanchen today tends to make people feel particularly soft-hearted.
"any drinks?"
Ye Mingqian opened the refrigerator and found that there was no drink in it. She still didn't have the habit of stocking up on food.
"Your refrigerator is cleaner than a dog's lick."
Chi Yanchen's figure occupies her small lazy sofa, and the words he speaks can make people angry at any time.
"Who would have thought that Mr. Chi would deign to come to this humble house." She closed the refrigerator door and turned to the tea bar machine to pour tea.
"This is the only one, and I have no regrets."
Ye Mingqian put the tea cup in front of him, and a few drops of tea splashed out from the force and fell on the coffee table.
"So angry."
Chi Yanchen raised his eyebrows, "Would you like me to tell you a funny joke?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Mingqian raised an eyebrow and glared at him, "Chi Yanchen, you think I rarely tell you."
He lazily leaned half of his body, tapping the sofa with his fingers every now and then. His voice was mixed with a tone that he had never heard of her before, "Well, I don't care."
Ye Mingqian's heart skipped a beat.
She seemed to hear a hint of weakness in his tone just now?
The hairs all over my body suddenly stood up. How could I have such an illusion?
"speak nicely."
She rubbed her arms.
"You come."
Chi Yanchen hooked his hand at her.
"What are you..." Ye Mingqian narrowed her eyes and looked at him, and found that the other person's eyes were blurred, which was very different from the usual coldness.
"Are you drunk?" she discovered in surprise.
This man has never shown his drunken side in front of others.
It seemed that she really wanted to give him a big blow during the day, and at night he touched her while drinking to drown his sorrows.
its not right.
"Why did you send Shu Qiaoqiao back when you were drinking?"
Before Ye Mingqian finished speaking, a huge shadow enveloped her head. As soon as she raised her head, she met two soft lips, which were cold and without warmth.
"Chi Yanchen!"
She tilted the man's head and knitted her eyebrows together, "You tricked me into getting drunk."
"No."
Chi Yanchen's eyes were clear, not as blurry as before. He hugged her waist tightly and kissed her deeply.
In the past, it was always on the large bed, and the smell of each other lingering in the small space of the sofa made people more confused and infatuated. After a while, Ye Mingqian was defeated by the man's offensive, and she let him run without any armor.
She couldn't remember how many times she had climbed to the top. Exhausted, she fell asleep in the warm embrace.
"Qianqian, don't betray me."
Before falling asleep completely, Ye Mingqian seemed to hear Chi Yanchen's murmur, but her eyelids drooped before she could think about it carefully.
She felt like she had just closed her eyes when a ringing sound rang in her ears. She sat up reflexively and found that she had fallen asleep on the bed at some point, and the pillow beside her was empty.
Ye Mingqian turned on the bedside lamp in the dark and found Chi Yanchen getting dressed, with a solemn expression on his face.
"what happen?"
She felt an unusual air pressure.
"Aunt Chen is gone."
Just four words made Ye Mingqian's heart sink. Before her brain could react, she asked, "Let's go, where?"
Then he realized what happened and immediately started to look for clothes, "I'll go too."
"You can't go. Stay at home and show up at the company on time tomorrow. Don't make Huo Jili suspicious."
Chi Yanchen quickly finished dressing and left like the wind.
Ye Mingqian sat alone on the bed and looked at the time on her phone. It was only four in the morning.
She looked around the empty room, with the lingering warmth of Chi Yanchen lying next to her, and she felt more and more empty after comparing them.
"You are a lone avenger." Ye Mingqian patted her cheek and forced herself to stay awake, not to covet the warmth that Chi Yanchen brought to her.
She put down her arms and used the light to realize that no part of the exposed skin on her body was covered with hickeys.
"Is that crazy?"
Ye Mingqian was startled and ran to the mirror. He was relieved when he saw that there was only one obvious red mark on his neck.
Only with this, I can see people tomorrow with some concealer.
She took a simple shower and crawled back into bed without feeling sleepy.
Aunt Chen's voice and smile can be seen every time she opens or closes her eyes.
How come someone who is alive during the day is gone at night?
He couldn't call Chi Yanchen to ask about the specific situation at this time. Ye Mingqian lay weakly on the pillow, his thoughts wandering until the sky turned white.
Stepping into the Tengtian Building like cotton under her feet, she felt a little dazed.
"Miss Shu didn't come today."
Secretary Zhong smiled and waved to her, as if he was saying something, but her ears were buzzing now, and she could only see the other person's mouth opening and closing, but she couldn't hear what was said at all.
"How are you?"
After being tapped on the shoulder several times, Ye Mingqian came back to her senses and said, "I'm fine."
"Both Mr. Chi and Secretary Xu came to the company today. Secretary Ye and I are the only ones on the floor."
Secretary Zhong winked at her: "We can take it easy."
"Yes, I'll go down first. If you need anything, you can call me."
Ye Mingqian agreed casually, then found an excuse to leave.
She went to the employee cafeteria and bought two buns. On the way back, she met a tall and thin man. After thinking for a long time, she saw the blue sleeves on his sleeves and remembered who the man was.
"Mao Jian?"
This member of the inspection team, whom she had only met once, suddenly stopped her. Ye Mingqian first looked at her own clothes. After seeing nothing wrong with her clothes, she stared at him warily.
"looking for me?"
"Do you know where Russell Juan went?"
Mao Jian was tall and tall, and he showed an image of calmness and authority wherever he stood. If he hadn't deliberately lowered his voice, his voice sounded a bit milky, so no wonder he kept a straight face.
"Why did you ask me about Russell Juan?"
She puzzled: "I just came to the company, haven't you known each other for a longer time?"
"Because she talks about you a lot."
"Then what do you want from her? Let me tell you."
Ye Mingqian said generously.
"This cannot be conveyed."
Mao Jian's face turned red instantly.
