"H City is more prosperous than before."
He does not mean that.
Ye Mingqian gently patted her yawning daughter on the back. She was just thinking about it while looking at the night scene outside the window, but to Zhong Xiaolan's ears, it felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.
Otherwise, the place the car passed just now happened to be the sub-building opposite the Tengtian Building, which was the public office building that was just acquired two years ago.
Zhong Xiaolan thought that Ye Mingqian's implication was that without her in H City, Chi Yanchen and Shu Qiaoqiao's lives would be better.
She smiled awkwardly, trying to say something nice for her boss, "In the past few years since Miss Ye was gone, Mr. Chi has almost driven himself crazy, and his life has not been good."
"I didn't ask him."
Ye Mingqian realized that her tone was a bit harsh, and saw Zhong Xiaolan's discomfort. She turned her daughter over and held her in her arms, and said in a gentle tone: "I'm really just amazed that the night view of H is more beautiful and prosperous, there is nothing else." I mean, Secretary Zhong, whenever you and I get along, I always say what I have to say directly and never beat around the bush."
"I was mistaken."
Zhong Xiaolan touched her nose and stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the car was speechless all the way to the arranged hotel.
Coincidentally, the hotel she stayed in was also the same hotel where Li Chengxi stayed. At that time, she came here to see Chi Yanchen because he was having a bad temper. Now that times have changed, Ye Mingqian couldn't make any trouble when she saw the hotel with the same furnishings. .
Zhong Xiaolan arranged the people, wandered outside the hotel for a long time, took out her phone and put it back, and finally put back the idea of telling her boss Ye Mingqian to return to China.
"let it go."
She no longer wanted to be the fish that brought disaster to the pond, so she scratched her hair and finally took a taxi home.
In the hotel, Ye Mingqian handed the sleeping Ye Weiwei to Liu Guixiang. Seeing that it was only after ten o'clock, she went to Xu Yue's house.
My friend still lives in her small rental house with two bedrooms and one living room.
"I'm afraid that once I move out, you won't be able to find a place to live when you come back."
The good thoughts towards her are as simple as ever and move people to tears.
Ye Mingqian moved the two boxes of wine prepared in the trunk and the kebabs bought on the road into the house.
"As I said, the first thing I do when I come back is to look for you until you get drunk."
The two of them had an intimate meeting three years ago. Now they have talked a lot about the wine. They drank bottle after bottle without touching a single kebab on the table.
"Yueyue, why are you getting married? My dear Yueyue, if he dares to bully you, come to me and I will make the decision for you. You also have a family, so don't be afraid!"
Ye Mingqian used Jiu Jin to talk to Xu Yue about the cold shoulder and difficulties she had received while starting a business abroad for many years. She also thought about her friend who was about to get married, so she reluctantly hugged Xu Yue and cried bitterly.
And the latter had already burst into tears because of her words.
After working hard and wandering in H City for many years, none of them had family members and no place to talk to when they had been wronged. Now that Ye Mingqian came back, she seemed to have found a backbone.
"Qianqian, good sister, I, Xu Yue, will always be your sister."
"Cheers to our sisterhood!"
Ye Mingqian raised the wine bottle, and the two blew another bottle, looked at each other and laughed again.
Crying and laughing, holding hands, dancing, singing, and doing all the things that I have never done in these years are crazy again tonight.
"I'm getting married, and you, Ye Mingqian, will be my bridesmaid."
Xu Yue was lying on the sofa with her tongue hanging out and her head tilted.
Ye Mingqian leaned against the sofa chair and fell to the ground. She pulled her coat over her friend's body, drank all the wine in the bottle, looked at the empty bottles on the ground with drunken eyes, and struggled to get up. Wandering out the door.
My eyes are so sleepy and I really want to sleep.
She hailed a taxi and thought for a long time before remembering the name of the hotel.
In the past, Ye Mingqian would sleep at Xu Yue's house when she was drunk, but that doesn't work now. Weiwei wants to cry when she doesn't see her when she wakes up in the morning. She is a mother, and she wants to be as good a mother as her mother Zhou Yun.
I got out of the car in a daze and walked down the corridor of the hotel. I didn't know whether it was because I was drunk or because the carpet in the hotel was so soft. Why did it feel like I was stepping on cotton?
Ye Mingqian held her head against the wall and shook her dizzy head, struggling to find the room number. When she saw the room number that seemed to be hers, her confused eyes lit up, and she swayed her body and slammed into the door.
She was so drunk that she didn't suspect that there was something wrong with opening the door without a key card. She just wanted to fall on the soft bed and have a good sleep.
"sleepy."
After searching for a long time and unable to find the light switch, Ye Mingqian impatiently bumped around in the darkness looking for the bedroom.
what sound? Is his door unlocked?
Chi Yanchen, who couldn't sleep in his room, heard the noise coming from outside the door and put down the sleeping pills in his hand.
He rented the presidential suite of this hotel every year. Recently, his insomnia became more and more serious. When he couldn't sleep, he would think of a change of environment to sleep here.
He stood up and opened the bedroom door, and saw a petite figure walking in the darkness. He thought it was a woman who had found out where he lived and climbed into bed, and instinctively frowned.
But when he smelled the familiar smell of alcohol mixed with perfume in the air, he wanted to ring the bell to call the security personnel.
"Very sleepy."
The moment the sound reached his ears, Chi Yanchen thought he was dreaming.
"Qianqian? Is that you?"
Or was he hallucinating again due to insomnia? .
"Who is calling me?" The black shadow came closer, and through the light of the bedroom, he could see her facial features clearly, and her pupils instantly formed a line.
"Qianqian!"
It's really her!
Chi Yanchen excitedly stepped forward and hugged the visitor. When he felt that the warm and soft body in his arms was real, his eyes began to moisten.
The person he thought about day and night returned to him.
"Who is it? Leave me alone and go to sleep." Ye Mingqian's eyes were so sleepy that she couldn't keep them open. She touched a piece of hot skin with her hand and raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "Go away."
"Okay, my Qianqian wants to sleep." Chi Yanchen hugged the lost Ye Mingqian tightly, feeling her body temperature, and he was shocked to realize that this was not a dream.
Was it God who heard his prayers for the past five years and sent Qian Qian back to him?
In the past, Chi Yanchen only believed that his fate was determined by his will, but the torture of losing Ye Mingqian in the past five years made him visit famous temples and Taoist temples all over the country, just asking for the return of his beloved woman.
He carried Ye Mingqian to the bed and put him down gently, leaned over and rubbed his head against her face.
"Do not bother me."
Ye Mingqian drank and felt dry and sad. Someone was touching her face. She waved and murmured for people to go away.
"Qianqian."
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
"Chi Yanchen?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
"Chi Yanchen?" Ye Mingqian shouted the name again.
She responded with a piece of softness covering her lips.
