Chapter 495: YC Exists and Dies With Her (5) (2/2)

He Jichen's heart ached. The next second, he withdrew his hands from her face and without any regard for the surrounding employees in the canteen, he got up, reached out his hands and pulled her into his embrace. He carefully placed her head on his chest, gently patting her back and trying to cheer her up.

His shirt was quickly soaked with her tears.

He didn't say anything but silently stayed with her and let her cry freely on his chest.

After some time, he felt her tearful, shivering body gradually quiet down.

He continued to embrace her for some time before he gently pulled her away from his arms.

Her eyes were red from crying and his heart ached as he reached his hand out to wipe the tears from her eyelashes. Then he said: ”Do you feel better now? If you're a little better, how about we go get something to eat?”

Seeing as Ji Yi didn't really have an appetite, she shook her head.

It's definitely not okay to not eat... He Jichen was about to try to coax Ji Yi when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the nearby employees whispering amongst themselves from the corners of his eyes. Then he abruptly stopped what he was about to say.

He was so focused on trying to cheer her up that he forgot they were in a public space.

With both her eyes bright red from crying, he certainly didn't want so many people watching her.

At that thought, He Jichen changed what he was about to say. ”...If not, how about we first get something to eat? After we order, we can go back to the office and let the chef cook our food. We'll eat when you're hungry, is that alright?”

This time, Ji Yi didn't shake her head in disagreement but silently nodded.
