When she was about to exit quietly before the other party noticed, she caught a glimpse of a human figure lying on the bed from the corner of her eye.
The one who remained motionless was Chi Yanchen.
"Fell asleep?"
Ye Mingqian then walked in gently with confidence.
When he came to the bed, Chi Yanchen had his eyes closed as expected.
The small table lamp beside the bed emits a warm orange light, which imprints on his head and face.
She squatted down on the edge of the bed and carefully observed the man's face at close range.
The eyebrows are slanted, the nose is high, and the dark eyes are closed, losing their usual coldness.
In his sleep, Chi Yanchen no longer felt alienated, but the sorrow between his brows was a bit more broken, as if it could disappear with just a light touch.
Ye Mingqian couldn't help but get closer, close enough to hear his steady and even breathing.
"Chi Yanchen, you have Shu Qiaoqiao, do you still need me?"
She stared at the sleeping beauty in front of her without blinking, and the worry that had been suppressed in her heart gently came out.
Probably not needed anymore.
From the moment they chose to marry Huo Jili, they were destined to be destined to be together.
Ye Mingqian leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Chi Yanchen's face like a dragonfly.
Say goodbye to her greedy desires.
"Goodbye, Chi Yanchen."
She stood up and left the dim bedroom. The moment the door closed, Chi Yanchen, who had kept his eyes closed, opened them.
He understood the meaning of Ye Mingqian's last sentence.
Looking in the direction he was leaving, he sneered inaudibly.
Have your wings stiffened and want to fly solo?
Ye Mingqian had been wondering a few days ago whether her cooperative relationship with Chi Yanchen could be terminated directly.
After all, as she thought, although she and Chi Yanchen had the same enemy, their ultimate goals were not the same.
As long as Chi Yanchen takes down Shu Qiaoqiao with snacks, he will be able to obtain evidence to bring down Huo Jili. The evidence they worked hard to collect in the past is just the icing on the cake.
The Zhou family fire was just one of them. Whether the truth could be found out would not mean much to bring down Huo Jili. Mrs. Huo's death alone could bring him to justice.
"It's time to go our separate ways."
To Chi Yanchen, she can only be a burden now.
After finding Aishang's finances, Ye Mingqian made up his mind not to come to Tengtian again.
"Damn Chi Yanchen."
If it weren't for his bad taste and telling her his name early, he wouldn't have to clock in at the company from nine to five every day.
Ye Mingqian handed the information he obtained to Secretary Zhong. When he returned to his work station, he found that the piles of documents were missing.
Was Secretary Zhong’s file level just now a little higher?
She looked up and found a clue.
"Why did you move them all?"
Ye Mingqian couldn't help but want to get it.
"Secretary Xu said you would have the afternoon off, so just give these to me. Anyway, I was doing all the work before you and Miss Shu came, so it will be more efficient."
She felt disgusted, so she retracted her hand with some sarcasm, "My hands and feet are a little slow."
"It's like this when you first come in. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can go back first."
Secretary Zhong raised her round face with a smile, which made people feel good to see her.
"Why did Secretary Xu suddenly give me leave?"
Ye Mingqian asked puzzledly.
"It's Mr. Chi's arrangement."
Well, it seems that Chi Yanchen gave Secretary Xu a notice before going to bed.
She said goodbye to Secretary Zhong and walked out of Tengtian.
The sudden free time left Ye Mingqian at a loss as to what to do. She stood on the street and watched the passing traffic, not knowing which direction to go.
The more confused you are, the more you want to see familiar people.
Ye Mingqian sent Xu Yue a message to ask if she was free. She was probably busy, but she didn't get a reply for a long time.
The sun shone on my body, but I didn't feel any warmth.
She stopped staring at the phone and decided to go to a mental hospital.
Even if you can't see Yunxuan, you can still get closer outside the wall.
Halfway through the car, Ye Mingqian received a call from Xu Yue.
"Hello?"
She pressed answer.
"Wu Jing, you bastard, get out of here and don't touch me."
Xu Yue's scream on the other end of the phone made Ye Mingqian subconsciously hit the brakes. She hurriedly drove the car to the side of the road and called her cell phone several times, but there was no response.
Then there was a loud bang and only the busy signal on the phone could be heard.
Something happened to Xu Yue.
She turned the car around without hesitation and drove all the way to the commercial street where Xu Yue Beauty Shop was located.
Ye Mingqian rushed in and arrived as quickly as possible. When he saw the door lock hanging on the door handle inside the glass door, he decided that there must be someone inside and kicked the door open without thinking.
"Xu Yue!"
"I'm here."
Hearing the response, she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wooden rolling stick for massage, weighed it and walked in.
As expected, Wu Jing was inside, holding a bench and facing Xu Yue, who was pointing the tip of the scissors at him.
Both of them were somewhat injured, and it looked like they had just had a heated argument.
There weren't many people at this spot, and Xu Yue's shop was deep inside, so no one noticed that a dangerous game of chase and escape was going on inside.
"Are you OK?"
Ye Mingqian first asked about Xu Yue's physical condition. After getting a positive answer, she raised the stick in her hand and hit Wu Jing hard on the arm while he was in a daze.
Hao Jing threw down the bench in pain and stared at Ye Mingqian bitterly, "I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you came to my door first."
"She is from the Huo family. If Wu Jing has even a hair, you won't be able to carry her around."
Xu Yue was afraid that her friend would suffer a loss, so she immediately ran over to protect her behind her.
"Why are you here?" she asked in a low voice.
"I answered your call and heard the noise here."
Ye Mingqian took a step forward and stood side by side with Xu Yue, "Why is he here? To cause trouble for you?"
"I've lost my job, and the old woman doesn't want him. I have no money and I'm here to do something bad. Don't worry, you don't get any advantage from me."
There was a slap mark on Xu Yue's face. Obviously her words did not convince Ye Mingqian.
She raised her head and looked at Wu Jing, "Do you believe I will call the police?"
"You report it and let them take me away. Anyway, I don't even have money to eat. If I go in, I can eat for free for a few days, hahaha."
Wu Jing's face showed a fierce look, and his eyes swept over her body, "The wife who said she wanted to marry into the Huo family turned out to be a waste who is guarding the gold mountain and doesn't know how to spend it. She can't make any money out of it."
"Shang Ailian was your former employee, right? Well, I didn't give her much money for sleeping with her, but at least I learned something from her. If you give me one million, I'll tell you."
In response to his shamelessness, Ye Mingqian threw the stick on the counter and made a dull threatening sound.
"I have no money, and I don't want to know. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."
