C132 (1/2)

After hanging up the call from He Chuyan, Ye Yanxi stood in front of the shopping mall, waiting for Xiao Yu to come pick her up.

After waiting for a while, she suddenly heard someone call out to her from behind.

”Miss Ye.”

Ye Yan Xi subconsciously turned her head and saw He Zhenhua behind her. He had seen her clearly hostile towards him several times, but now he suddenly called out to her, leaving her at a loss. She couldn't help but feel puzzled.

”Hello, Director He!” However, seeing that the other person had called out to her first, Ye Yan Xi quickly and politely nodded her head to greet him.

”Why is he alone today? Did he not come with your friend?” He Zhenhua looked around Ye Yan Xi and asked.

”Oh, I'm just passing by today. I'm not here to go shopping.” Ye Yan Xi quickly explained.

”So that's how it is. I thought you were here to shop.” He Zhenhua seemed to be very busy, looking down at his watch from time to time. ”Yesterday's matter was too abrupt, and I didn't think it through. How about this, it's the right time for dinner. I'll treat you to dinner as an apology.”

Looking at He Zhenhua's expression, Ye Yanxi knew that she was only casually inviting her out. In truth, she didn't really have much sincerity in her heart, but she was just being polite, at least on this point. She understood what she was capable of, and it wouldn't be enough for the president of the He family to treat her to a meal and apologize.

”No need.” Therefore, she hesitated a bit, then explained with a smile: ”Thank you for your kind intentions, Boss He. You didn't say anything wrong yesterday, so there's no need to apologize. I'm waiting for someone to come and pick me up, so I'll be leaving soon, so there's no need to trouble you anymore.”

”If that's the case, then there's no other way. When the time comes, I'll treat you to a meal.” He Zhenhua said indifferently.

Ye Yanxi thought in her heart that perhaps there wouldn't be that day, but she still politely replied, ”Okay then, I will definitely have a chance.”

”One more thing, I would like to ask Miss Ye.”

”I wonder what he always wanted to ask?” Ye Yan Xi suspiciously looked at him, feeling a bit surprised in her heart.

”I've heard that you're an orphan. Have you ever thought of finding your own biological parents?”

Ye Yan Xi didn't expect He Zhenhua to ask her this question at all, but she had thought of it before. It was just that there wouldn't be such a day. ”It's been so long, I don't have such a strong desire to find them anymore.”

”Why?”

”Now that I have a father and a friend, if I suddenly find my biological parents, that's strange too. Maybe they already have their own children, and their families are happy and full of life, maybe they will be the same as me. Maybe, because of my sudden appearance, they would be in a mess in their original lives, so I think that's fine.”

Right now, she had her father, He Chuyan and a few other close friends, as well as Xiao Yu. This was enough, she should be satisfied with what she had.

Long ago, she was also very envious of the child her parents doted on, who could act coquettishly towards her parents, especially when she saw that the girl who lived in the same dorm as her had already been found by her biological parents and taken back. At that time, her wish was especially strong, and she also hoped that her own parents would accidentally find her one day, but after so many years, she was no longer that little girl.

When he grew up, he would envy his parents, but also resent them for giving birth to him and then abandoning him. However, now that everything had been cleared up, he felt like there was nothing left to hate.

”So you don't want to find your parents?” He Zhenhua's tone seemed to carry a hint of interrogation, which made people feel uncomfortable.

”Yes, it doesn't matter if we find it or not. It doesn't matter.” Ye Yan Xi answered truthfully.

He Zhenhua didn't say anything, he only fixed his gaze on Ye Yanxi for a long time. The assistant beside him seemed to be reporting on their work to him, which could probably be counted as someone's secret on the job. Thus, Ye Yanxi consciously nodded towards He Zhenhua and walked away.

He continued to wait for Xiao Yu to arrive. Seeing that it was about time, he waited for another five minutes before Xiao Yu called.

Ye Yan Xi quickly told Xiao Yu to park the car in a concealed location. Then he jogged over and got on the car like a thief.

Every time Xiao Yu saw her cautious movements, it was as if she was engaging in guerrilla warfare. His face would immediately darken, and today was no exception.

”Why didn't he go to the underground parking lot or the subway near the company? Why did he choose so far away?” She had just sat down when Xiao Yu pressed her.

He still had the nerve to ask her that!

Ye Yanxi muttered in her heart, and somewhat grudgingly said, ”Today you said in the middle of a meeting that your clothes were bought by a woman?”

”So what?” Xiao Yu retorted with a question, ”This is the truth, is there something wrong with that?”

She actually still had the face to ask him. Ye Yan Xi ignored his words as if they made some sense, and unhappily explained, ”That's right, I said that we can't reveal our relationship yet, right? When you say it like that, the company goes into an uproar and all of them are trying to guess who that woman is! ”

”Do you want our relationship to grow forever?” Xiao Yu's voice was clearly filled with hostility as he raised his voice, ”Ye Yan Xi, am I really giving you a lot of face by being your boyfriend?”

Ye Yan Xi sighed, ”CEO, you are not shameful, but the key is that the gap between us is too big. Once it is exposed, I will be the one to bear the pressure, so I am not ready!”

In reality, she was planning something else in her mind. If this was the case, then it couldn't be exposed. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to defend herself.

However, Xiao Yu's expression eased up a bit upon hearing Ye Yan Xi's words.

”Then how long will you be preparing?” Xiao Yu immediately followed up with another question that Ye Yan Xi didn't want to answer.

Ye Yan Xi casually said, ”I can't say for sure. Anyway, it's not possible now, so I'll tell you when we get there.”

Xiao Yu didn't press her further. He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. In his heart, he felt a bit guilty.

However, Xiao Yu said something else. ”The day after tomorrow will be Beize's and He Cong's wedding. I must attend that day. Will you be with me?” Then he added, ”To see your ex-boyfriend's wedding.”

Ye Yan Xi immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, ”Forget it, that's not the time for me to go.”

Because of the matter at the mall, with Lady Chu and Madam He's feelings for her, it would only make everyone uncomfortable. If he went to the wedding and messed it up, it would be a big deal.

”You and me.”

A warning bell immediately sounded in Ye Yanxi's head.

Why did Xiao Yu insist on taking her there? She didn't believe that he had such good intentions. He was afraid that he would just casually toss her into the crowd. If that happened, she would be in deep trouble.

There were so many people who didn't welcome her, she really couldn't bear it. Furthermore, this was a festive occasion.

”Ah, so hungry...” Ye Yan Xi rubbed her stomach and immediately changed the topic, ”What do you want to eat tonight? We'll stop at the shopping mall to buy vegetables.”

Xiao Yu only glanced at her and two words came out between his teeth, ”Anything!”

In the past, when he was asked, Yuan Zhou had always been able to shout out the names of a bunch of dishes without panicking. Now, only two words were being spoken, 'anything'. It seemed that Yuan Zhou was in a really bad mood.

However, Ye Yan Xi didn't plan to coax him. This stingy man was simply too hard to coax. Who knows when she would sneak into his trap.

The next morning, it was a weekend, so Ye Yanxi didn't have to work, but Xiao Yu still had to go to the company as usual.
