Ye Huanyan's coat was in the corner of the sofa. She changed into her gown and walked out of the bathroom. She lowered her head to look for her coat. When she walked past Ling Han, her long hair fell behind her back, and a faint red mark appeared on her snow-white shoulder. However, his expression suddenly changed.
His eyes were fixated on the very obvious kiss mark on her neck.
Ye Huanyan turned around to get her coat.
At this moment, the phone in Ling Han's pocket vibrated twice. He slowly took it out and glanced at it. His colleague, who was reading a text message, suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye
The signal was full.
"Let's go. I'm done packing."
A woman's voice sounded behind him. It was still hoarse from crying.
There was no response for a long time.
Ye Huanyan frowned. When she slowly turned around,
Ling Han's expression was very gloomy as he stared at her without moving.
"Your acting skills make me think that I can choose an agent from the agency department to bring you into the entertainment industry."
His body exuded a chill, and his eyes seemed to be frozen with frost.
"I underestimated you."
Ye Huanyan looked at him in a daze with a puzzled expression.
"What are you talking about?"
"You acted according to the situation, and you played the trick of injuring yourself to gain sympathy. Jiang Meilan taught you by example. You can be considered to have surpassed her, Ye Huanyan."
Ling Han gripped his phone tightly and stared at her coldly.
"In that case, before I say that you did these things behind my back, you'd better go in front of Grandma and cancel that ridiculous engagement."
Following his gaze, Ye Huanyan turned her head. When her gaze landed on the kiss mark on her shoulder, her expression changed drastically.
"Ling Han, it's not like that. This is just a misunderstanding. I..."
Before her hand could touch Ling Han, she was flung away by his raised arm. She staggered, and her high heels suddenly tilted. She fell to the ground. When she raised her head, she heard the sound of the door closing.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were almost embedded in her flesh. The faint sobbing sound in the room grew louder and louder until it finally turned into a loud cry. The mournful sound traveled all the way to the door and echoed throughout the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, the waiter who was responsible for opening the door just now took the envelope from a woman wearing a cap and low-key clothes. He looked very nervous.
"No one will find out, right?"
"If you don't tell me, no one will find out." The woman shoved the envelope into his hand. "Remember, if anyone asks if you called the front desk from that room last night, you must insist that you didn't."
The waiter nodded hesitantly. Looking at the woman in front of him who was wearing a mask and leaving quickly, he felt that this person looked a little familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
In the cafe opposite the hotel, only Sheng Anran was left in the seat of two people. When she saw an angry figure coming out of the door of the opposite hotel, she picked up the coffee and took a sip. The corner of her mouth raised a proud arc.
Ye Huanyan, I told you to be honest. You are not clean, so don't blame me for making a fuss.
After Ling Han left the hotel, he didn't come home for three days.
After the company's annual meeting, it was the Spring Festival holiday. Ye Huanyan waited for him at home for three days. She had thought about what had happened before and after. The words of explanation had come back and forth in her heart no less than a thousand times, but she didn't wait for him to come back.
Until Aunt Zhang called her.
"Miss Yan Yan, it's almost New Year's Eve. Why haven't you come back yet? What are you busy with?"
Aunt Zhang's tone was quite complaining.
Ye Huanyan's heart was in a mess. She didn't know what to say when she received the call.
"Aunt Zhang, I have something to deal with these two days. Can you tell Grandma that I will go back in two days?"
"What do you mean in two days? Young Master, who you only see a few times in a year, is back. It's not right that you don't come back, right?"
"Ling Han went back?" Ye Huanyan raised her voice. She almost couldn't believe what she heard.
"Oh, you don't know?" Aunt Zhang's tone was a little puzzled.
"He's been back for a few days. Old Madam and I were wondering why you didn't come back. Young Master said that you had something to do. I saw that Old Madam was anxious, so I called you. You child … it's New Year. What can happen?"
Ye Huanyan's brows gradually furrowed.
In the past, when they went back to the old mansion, Ling Han would bring her back. Even if it was just for show, he would try his best to perform better in front of Grandma. Now, he wasn't even willing to put on a show?
He really didn't believe himself.
"Aunt Zhang, I understand. I will go back tonight."
"Ah, that's right. Come back and stay for a while. Old Madam plans to prepare for your wedding after the New Year."
Aunt Zhang's voice was full of joy, but Ye Huanyan couldn't feel happy.
If Ling Han knew about this, he would probably fly into a rage. He might even lose his temper in front of Grandma.
The words he said when he left the hotel echoed in her mind over and over again, and she couldn't get them out of her mind.
In the afternoon, she arrived at the old mansion.
The old mansion was in the old district of Lanjiang City. It was an antique house that was relatively quiet. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it felt like a paradise.
Aunt Zhang was waiting at the door early in the morning. The servants in the house helped to move the luggage out of the car.
"Aunt Zhang, these are the clothes and shoes I bought for Grandma and some other miscellaneous things. Put them in the wet nurse's room. That box is some small gifts for the servants at home for the New Year …"
"Okay, okay. Can you tell me everything after dinner?" Aunt Zhang took her hand and turned to the servants who were moving the things. "Put the things Miss brought in in the flower hall first. Don't knock them."
Ye Huanyan had to give up.
"By the way, Aunt Zhang, are there any servants who won't be coming home for the New Year this year?"
After all, it was not the era of being sold as slaves. No matter how many servants there were at home, they still had to go home during the New Year. At this time, it was very difficult to find someone to serve Old Madam. Fortunately, there was Aunt Zhang, who had been by Old Madam's side all these years.
"Oh, speaking of which, I have to tell you something." Aunt Zhang frowned and was a little embarrassed.
"My niece is getting married after the New Year. Her parents passed away early, and I have to take care of the wedding. So I have to leave on New Year's Eve this year."
"Ah?" Ye Huanyan exclaimed.
"You won't be here for the New Year this year? Did you tell Grandma about this? "
"I did. Old Madam gave me the money to go home for the New Year. I'm just worried. Although there are servants at home, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for Miss and Young Master to take care of those relatives who come to pay New Year's greetings."
Ye Huanyan frowned and sighed.
"It's okay. Aunt Zhang, your family matters are more important. You can go back first. I will help take care of things at home."
Aunt Zhang held Ye Huanyan's hand and sighed in relief.
"Ah, okay, with Miss Yan here, I can rest assured. As soon as my niece's wedding is over, I will immediately rush back. Also, after the fifth day of the new year, the servants at home will come back one after another. Miss, you don't have to worry too much."
