"What's wrong?"
Lin Yan parked the car and helped Ye Zi unbuckle her seatbelt. He looked at her pale face and furrowed his brows. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Zi smiled gently and shook her head at Lin Yan. "It's nothing. I'm just a little tired. Please search on Baidu. "
"I'll cook when we get home. You sleep." Lin Yan rubbed Ye Zi's head.
Ye Zi nodded and followed Lin Yan out of the car and into the elevator.
In the elevator, besides Ye Zi and Lin Yan, there was a man wearing a hat. He pulled the hat down so that no one could see his face.
The moment Ye Zi walked into the elevator, she saw the man immediately.
She frowned slightly. Ye Zi felt a sense of familiarity when she saw this man. However, she couldn't see his face, and she didn't know where she had seen this man before.
Ye Zi was very good. This man looked good, but the more he looked good, the more she felt good about him.
Lin Yan held Ye Zi's hand and followed her gaze. He instinctively took a step toward Ye Zi and stood between Ye Zi and the man.
Ye Zi wanted to laugh. Mr. Lin looked unapproachable on the surface, but in reality, he was a jealous man. Even if it was a stranger in the elevator, he was prepared to isolate them.
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped on the 16th floor. The man walked past Ye Zi and Lin Yan and walked out of the elevator.
Ye Zi looked at the man's back. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. It wasn't until she couldn't see the man's figure that Ye Zi stopped looking.
Lin Yan moved in front of Ye Zi and pinched her face. "What were you looking at?"
Ye Zi followed the gap in the elevator door and pointed in the direction where the man had disappeared. Her lips curled into a slight smile. "Looking at him."
Lin Yan suddenly frowned, raised his hand to touch his chiseled chin, and said in a low voice: "In front of me, you're openly looking at another man …"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch …"
Ye Zi slapped Lin Yan's hand, trying to get him to move away from her face. "You're so annoying. I'm not doing this to see him. I just feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
"You've seen him before?!" Lin Yan's face darkened.
"Aiya, I didn't mean that." Ye Zi quickly explained.
Lin Yan suddenly laughed and rubbed Ye Zi's head. "Silly girl."
"Sure! Lin Yan, how dare you trick me. "Ye Zi was sullen and stomped her feet lightly.
The elevator stopped, and Lin Yan stepped out of the elevator first. When he turned back, he gave Ye Zi a bundle of autumn spinach.
Jian Xia and Qin Chen had been waiting for them to return. When she heard the sound of the key opening the door, Jian Xia quickly went to greet them. Seeing Ye Zi's pale face and thoughtful expression, Jian Xia asked anxiously, "Xiaozi, what happened?"
Ye Zi smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing. It's just that when I came back with Lin Yan today, I met Brother Chen Mo on the road. He's handling a case. I'm just cooperating with the police to help with the investigation."
Jian Xia heard that and breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death. You must be hungry. I just made something to eat. I'll go get it for you."
It was a simple meal, but Ye Zi found it tasteless. She only ate two mouthfuls and put down her chopsticks.
Jian Xia furrowed her brows and asked, "Is it because I didn't make it to your taste?"
Ye Zi smiled and explained, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable. I don't feel like eating. You guys can eat. I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room to rest for a while."
After that, Ye Zi got up and went straight to her bedroom.
Jian Xia furrowed her brows and looked at Ye Zi's back. She blinked and slowly looked at Lin Yan. Her red lips slightly opened and she sighed. "Xiaozi seems to have something wrong. What's wrong with her?"
Lin Yan thought for a while and shook his head slightly. "Recently, she always seems to have something on her mind. She won't tell me anything I ask."
Jian Xia rested her chin on her hands and blinked. "Could it be because of the change of hormones because she just got pregnant?"
"Maybe."
Ye Zi laid on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. It was as if someone had stuffed a time bomb into her brain, ticking away the countdown.
With a splitting headache, Ye Zi furrowed her brows and bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth.
The game continued.
These four words lingered in Ye Zi's mind all along, and she couldn't get rid of them.
What was the game?!
Was it to continue investigating the cause of Xiao Yihuan's death?!
While Ye Zi was thinking, her phone suddenly vibrated.
"The death of the female corpse." The text message only showed these four words.
Sure enough, the purpose of the mysterious man was to ask her to investigate the murder. What was his purpose?
No matter how Ye Zi thought about it, she couldn't understand. What was the use of investigating these murder cases to him?
She turned over and stuffed her head under the pillow. At this time, Lin Yan pushed the door open and saw Ye Zi's action. He frowned slightly and walked towards Ye Zi on the bed.
Lin Yan leaned over and sat down. He picked up the pillow that covered Ye Zi's head. His thin lips parted slightly as he asked in a gentle voice, "Wife, what's going on with you recently? Why do you always look so worried? "
Hearing Lin Yan's voice, Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes. She didn't want to make Lin Yan worry, so she forced a faint smile. "Nothing. I just didn't expect that I would suddenly get pregnant. The sudden arrival of this little guy ruined all my plans."
"What's your plan?" Lin Yan moved closer to Ye Zi. A faint fragrance from Ye Zi rushed into Lin Yan's nose.
Lin Yan held Ye Zi in his arms and buried his head in her shoulder.
"It's itchy." Ye Zi struggled slightly, but Lin Yan tightened his grip. In desperation, Ye Zi had to give up and let Lin Yan hold her like this. "I still have a lot of plans, such as the detective agency, the wedding, and …"
She paused slightly, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "And Xiao Rou."
At the mention of Ye Xinrou, Ye Zi frowned. During this time, Ye Xinrou seemed to have disappeared from the world. She didn't ask Ye Zi for money, nor did she disrupt her life.
Could it be …
Ye Zi had a bold assumption in her heart. If that mysterious person did something bad to Xiao Rou …
Her heart suddenly trembled, and she bit her lip hard.
Lin Yan seemed to see through Ye Zi's thoughts. Her tightly frowned brows relaxed, and with a gentle smile, he said softly in Ye Zi's ear, "Don't worry. Ye Xinrou will be interning in Lam's Group during this time. I heard from Qin Chen that he seems to have arranged for her to be taught by a handsome guy from the law school. During this time, she won't care about you."
A handsome guy from the law school!?
When Ye Zi heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
Only Qin Chen could come up with such a wicked idea.
But Ye Zi was still a little worried. After all, before her father passed away, the person he was most worried about was Ye Xinrou. Ye Zi also promised her father that she would take good care of her no matter what.
"As for her salary, I paid her according to the level of a department head."
"Department head?" Ye Zi blinked. "Why did you give her so much money? Xiao Rou has always been a girl without restraint …"
"Alright, alright." Lin Yan gently kissed the side of Ye Zi's face and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about her. I did this to make you feel at ease."
Ye Zi smiled and got into Lin Yan's bad side.
That night, Ye Zi leaned against Lin Yan's strong chest and fell into a deep sleep. She could clearly hear Lin Yan's powerful heartbeat. It seemed that Lin Yan's heartbeat could make her feel calm and safe.
The next day.
Ye Zi woke up to a fragrant aroma. Her sleepy eyes reflected Lin Yan's handsome face.
Lin Yan had a faint smile on his face. He tucked a strand of her long hair behind her ear. "You're awake?"
Ye Zi nodded slightly and smiled. "What did you cook? It smells so good."
Lin Yan said, "Black-boned chicken soup. You need to nourish your body now."
With that, Lin Yan helped Ye Zi up, and the two of them walked out of the bedroom. She immediately saw Qin Chen sitting on the sofa. He was holding a bowl of black-boned chicken soup in his hand, enjoying it with a look of enjoyment.
Hearing the footsteps, Qin Chen turned to look at them and said with a smile, "The chicken soup is good, but it's a little bland."
Lin Yan's cold eyes glanced at Qin Chen and said coldly, "This is for Ye Zi to nourish her body, not for you."
"Don't be so stingy."
With that, Qin Chen handed the empty soup bowl to Lin Yan. "Quick, give me another bowl."
Ye Zi glanced at him. "Can't you get it yourself?"
With that, Ye Zi walked to the dining table and looked at the breakfast prepared by Lin Yan.
She was a little hungry. After receiving the text message last night, she didn't have much appetite and forced herself to eat a little. At this moment, she was really a little hungry. Looking at the chicken noodles and chicken soup, Ye Zi ate heartily.
After breakfast, Ye Zi walked to the sofa and gently kicked Qin Chen. "What are you doing here instead of working at this time?"
Qin Chen smiled and said, "I'm looking for him. Of course, I have good news."
"Ha!" Ye Zi chuckled. "What good news can you have?"
"Hey!" The corner of Qin Chen's mouth twitched slightly. "Why can't I have good news? I'm the wind in spring, the fan in summer, the rain in autumn, and the fire in winter …"
"Come on, you … I think you're the crow that brings the funeral." Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Qin Chen and turned back to the bedroom.
"Hey!" Qin Chen patted his thigh and stood up. "Sister-in-law, I have to tell you about this. I …"
