At Lanjiang City International Airport, Ji Xiaoyue stood beside the silver-haired man at the sixth baggage carousel with a radiant smile on her face.
The silver suitcase had already passed under her nose twice, but she turned a blind eye to it and continued to chat with the silver-haired man.
Then, the person who looked like an assistant beside the silver-haired man took two black suitcases from the carousel and pulled them towards the silver-haired man.
"I should go."
Ji Xiaoyue's expression froze, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable disappointment. She mumbled, "Oh, you … you're leaving."
The silver-haired man nodded politely and gave her a faint smile. "It was a very pleasant experience to meet Miss Ji."
Ji Xiaoyue lowered her head, and her hands nervously fiddled with the buttons of her windbreaker. She was speechless for a long time.
She waited until the silver-haired man said goodbye to her and was about to leave. Then, she mustered her courage and looked up to ask, "Will we meet again in the future?"
The man was slightly taken aback, and then the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile. "Yes."
That smile was somewhat devilish and wanton, but it made a certain someone, who had been blinded by love, feel her blood boil. She didn't catch the hidden meaning at all.
"When?" she asked.
The silver-haired man didn't answer her. His deep gaze looked over her shoulder and landed on the carousel behind her. "Your suitcase is here."
He knew that it was her suitcase. He had long known that it was just an excuse for her to dawdle here and wait for her luggage, but he didn't point it out until he was about to leave.
What did he mean?
Ji Xiaoyue's thoughts were exposed. She felt her cheeks burning, and her mind was in a mess. She watched as the silver-haired man turned to leave. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.
She walked out of the airport in a daze and took a taxi back to her apartment. On the way back, she turned on her phone and found that there were more than ten missed calls.
When Ji Xiaoyue saw the words "Pleasure -Qiao Mu" on the caller ID, she was slightly taken aback, and a trace of astonishment appeared in her eyes. She was not familiar with Qiao Mu when they were colleagues. Other than work-related matters, they barely had any contact. She always felt that Qiao Mu was very unsociable, so she was too lazy to interact with him, let alone now that she had resigned.
However, when he saw that there were more than ten calls, he was surprised. He thought that it might be something urgent, so he called back. "Hello? Assistant Qiao? "
The voice on the other end of the phone was very anxious. "Secretary Ji, did Secretary Ye contact you today?"
These words were spoken quickly and anxiously, making Ji Xiaoyue's heart skip a beat.
When she returned to the apartment, it was already midnight. She got out of the car and hurriedly threw a hundred dollar bill to the driver. While talking on the phone, she unloaded her suitcase and walked towards the apartment, looking very irritable.
"What do you mean? What do you mean Yan Yan is missing? Isn't she pregnant? Shouldn't she be at Jinjiang Court? "
"…"
"What did you say? Ling Han chased her out? A paternity test? Are you crazy? "
"…"
"When did she disappear? I think you're all f * cking crazy. If anything happens to Yan Yan, let Ling Han regret it …"
Just as she was talking on the phone, she saw a familiar figure in the garden downstairs. If Ji Xiaoyue hadn't squatted down to move the luggage, she would not have seen the person sitting under the arch of the slide.
Her entire body stiffened, and she hung up the phone without a second thought. She threw down her luggage and hurriedly ran towards the garden.
"Yan Yan …"
Ye Huanyan sat on the sand with her hair tied up behind her head, and the hair in front of her forehead was a bit messy from the evening wind. She touched her bulging belly and hid under the arch, her eyes full of emptiness.
Seeing Ji Xiaoyue look at her, she slowly raised her head, but her eyes were a bit unfocused, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito's. "Xiao Yue, you're back. Can I stay at your place for a while?"
Ji Xiaoyue's eyes immediately reddened. No matter how much she wanted to say, her words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them. She could only hold in her breath and force back her tears. She sniffed hard and helped her up from the sand. Then she slowly walked towards the apartment building.
She originally thought that Ye Huanyan would be unable to recover from the setback, but after settling her in the apartment, she told her to take a shower, and she did. When she told her where the things were, she nodded gently. Other than the lack of expression on her face, there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
However, the more normal she was, the more panicked Ji Xiaoyue felt in her heart.
On the other side, Qiao Mu called to urge her again. "Did you find Secretary Ye?"
Ji Xiaoyue glanced at the bathroom and walked further away until she was certain that Ye Huanyan couldn't hear her. Then, she grumbled, "Do you really care whether she's dead or alive? If Ling Han really cares about her, why didn't he call me himself? "
"I'm just concerned as a colleague …"
"Assistant Qiao, don't tell me this. We don't have much of a relationship with you, so it's enough to do what your boss wants you to do. Yan Yan and I can't bear your concern. You and Ling Han are jackals of the same tribe. Just tell Ling Han how miserable her life is right now and let him ask his conscience if she was eaten by a dog."
Without waiting for Qiao Mu to speak, she angrily hung up and blacklisted Qiao Mu's number.
Ling Han and his subordinates were all heartless, cruel, and heartless people.
However, after hanging up the phone, she started to have doubts in her heart again.
How could Ye Huanyan's child be Su Nianhua's?
What the hell is going on?
Just as she was thinking, the sound of running water in the bathroom abruptly stopped. Ye Huanyan changed into a clean, loose nightgown and slowly walked out with her hands on her waist. Her wet hair was draped over her shoulders.
Ji Xiaoyue quickly walked forward. "Your hair is so wet, why don't you dry it first? The hairdryer is on the coffee table."
"Mhm." Ye Huanyan nodded obediently.
Seeing her timid appearance, Ji Xiaoyue was a bit annoyed. "Yan Yan, you …"
"Xiao Yue, I'm hungry." Ye Huanyan suddenly looked up and interrupted her.
She didn't want to hear anything and didn't want to answer anything.
Ji Xiaoyue was stunned. In the end, she had no choice but to swallow her bellyful of words. She said in a muffled voice, "Go dry your hair. I'll cook noodles for you."
There was still a roll of noodles and several eggs in the fridge. Seeing Ye Huanyan's fragile appearance, Ji Xiaoyue simply made some egg soup. She cracked all five eggs, and a bowl of steaming yellow egg noodles was placed on the table in front of Ye Huanyan.
"Eat first and rest well afterward. I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow morning. I don't have any ingredients at home, so I'll take two days off to stay with you."
"No need." Ye Huanyan blew on the noodles and whispered, "You go to work, and I'll stay at home. I'll call you if something happens. You don't have to stay with me."
"Are you sure?"
Ji Xiaoyue frowned.
"Mhm."
Ye Huanyan took a sip of the noodles and chewed slowly before swallowing. She looked up at Ji Xiaoyue. Her eyes moved slightly and her voice was very gentle. "Xiao Yue, you don't have to worry about me. I have a baby."
