C145 (1/2)

The rain had already soaked Ye Yan Xi's entire body. Her skirt was stuck to her body, making her look extremely miserable. Her exposed skin was covered in goosebumps from the cold.

Xiao Yu pulled on her arm with a bit of anger. It was ice-cold, and not even the slightest bit of warmth could be felt.

”Why are you so cold? ”How long has it been since you came out?” Xiao Yu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. ”You're just debasing your body like that! Do you think you're as solid as a wall? Why didn't you call me when you came out?”

Xiao Yu cursed, but he couldn't stop his heart from aching. He put on the suit over her body and used his arm to stop her as he pushed her into the car.

After closing the door, Xiao Yu got in the car.

Xu Bei very considerately turned on the heat. Not long later, the car began to warm up. Ye Yan Xi's senses recovered a little bit, no longer numb and cold.

However, his heart was still extremely cold.

Once she felt better, Ye Yan Xi took off Xiao Yu's jacket and passed it to him: ”It won't be cold anymore.”

This was the first thing Ye Yan had said since he got on the car. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, had been sulking because of her actions. He sat off to the side with a dark face, neither of them speaking.

At this moment, Xiao Yu glanced at her, ”I thought you didn't know the cold, so you stood there in the rain. Why didn't you call me earlier?”

Thinking about this matter, she couldn't stop her anger. She really suspected that Ye Yanxi's confession in the banquet hall was a joke.

”You're not going to the wedding?” Ye Yan Xi asked with a lack of confidence.

”Let's not talk about the wedding first. Weren't you the one who begged me to bring you here?” Xiao Yu glared at her, ”How come you didn't finish and ran out?”

”Oh, I didn't want to participate, so I came out.”

Obviously, Xiao Yu didn't believe her at all. If something hadn't happened, then how could she have run away? And he didn't even bring an umbrella, standing in the rain in the rain. When he got off the car, he could clearly see that her eyes were red. She must have been crying.

She must have come out because of some grievance, but she didn't want to tell him.

To some extent, Ye Yan Xi had a stubborn personality. If she didn't want to say anything, no matter how hard he asked, she would be able to remain silent. This was something that was somewhat similar to him.

”Next time, if something like this happens, you must give me a call in time, do you hear me?” Xiao Yu warned her in a low voice.

Although Xiao Yu's tone was sharp at the moment, Ye Yan still felt a warm feeling in his heart. This was because he was worried about Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu cared about her a lot.

Suddenly, the stifling feeling in her chest loosened by quite a bit. Ye Yan Xi turned around and leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder. This kind of dependent action caused Xiao Yu to be angry. Ye Yan Xi depressingly replied, ”I understand.”

After hearing this, Xiao Yu also pulled her into his arms. When he spoke again, his tone was much gentler. ”We'll be back in a while. Sleep for a while, I'll call for you when it's time.”

His voice was low and it carried traces of a doting tone. This sort of gentleness made Ye Yanxi extremely fond of him. She only wanted to be deeply in love forever.

Thus, she put her arms around his waist and smiled, ”I'm really sleeping.”

Xiao Yu also tightened his grip on her arm, tilting it slightly to make her feel more comfortable. The stern expression on her face suddenly softened.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Ye Yan Xi finally felt at ease. Thus, she quickly fell asleep in Xiao Yu's arms.

When she was four or five years old and playing in the garden with the other children, she saw a pair of husband and wife looking at her affectionately from the front gate.

Seeing her looking back at them, the couple suddenly turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.

The rest of the kids pushed her and shouted, ”Look, Xixi, it's your parents.”

These four words caused Ye Yan Xi to use all her strength to chase after him. The stone path in the garden was very hard to walk on. Ye Yan Xi stumbled as she ran on her short legs, shouting, ”Dad, mom, wait for me!”

Her tender voice echoed in the air, but the husband and wife acted as if they hadn't heard. They walked very quickly, and even though her steps were as fast as the wind, she still couldn't catch up to them. In the end, she could only look at the couple's figures.

Ye Yan Xi helplessly stood at the entrance of the flower garden, there was nothing around her in that instant. She couldn't find any other children, and no one came to help her.

She had been abandoned and her parents no longer wanted her.

”Father... ”Mommy...” Ye Yan Xi stood where she was and called out to her again and again in a sad and futile manner, with a sorrowful tone.

Following her words, he seemed to feel someone holding her hand and calling out to her anxiously. That voice seemed very far away but also seemed to be very close, ”Xiao Xi, wake up …”

Wake up? Why did he have to wake up? Who was calling her Xiao Xi?

His mind was in a state of chaos as he felt the world spinning around him.

Because the voice kept on shouting, Ye Yan Xi's eyelids twitched and she opened her eyes, wanting to see who was calling her and why. As her vision cleared, she saw a handsome face.

Looking at that familiar face, everything that had happened in the past sixteen years returned to her mind.

It turned out that she wasn't standing at the entrance of the flower garden. She was just dreaming. It was Xiao Yu calling her.
