Don't be afraid of what?

Ye Mingchen didn't know, he only felt a dense pain in his chest. Bai Youyou's arm became tighter and tighter, and it was gradually difficult for him to breathe.

He just wanted to comfort her.

When Bai Youyou suddenly regained her senses, she saw a red circle around Ye Mingchen's neck, and then looked at her flushed cheeks. When she realized what she had just done, tears started streaming down her face.

"Sorry …" "Sorry …"

She cried and apologized, not daring to look down at him. Ye Mingchen pulled her fingers apart, not letting her hurt him. In the gentlest voice, he told her, "I'm fine. I'm fine."

Bai Youyou shook her head and kept apologizing.

She could not forgive herself.

In the world, the one who didn't want to hurt Ye Mingchen the most was her.

However, she had to do this when she was feeling insecure and unconscious.

He did not pull her away, he condoned her.

But even so, the damage was real. If Ye Mingchen pushed her away and scolded her twice, he might feel better in his heart.

Ye Mingchen pulled her into his embrace and lightly patted her back. Bai Youyou's tears had dyed his clothes and caused a large tear stain to spread across his chest.

The steady, reassuring beat was like a bell ringing in her heart.

At this time, Bai Youyou made a decision.

A decision she believed would never be regretted.

Ye Mingchen accompanied her at Lin'An Residence for a day, and even at night when he slept, the scars on his neck still did not disappear, but they had only faded a little. Bai Youyou pretended to be asleep.

After Ye Mingchen fell asleep, he opened his eyes and looked at the scar on his neck.

His eyes were calm, but he was stubborn.

In the morning, Bai Youyou decided to help Ye Mingchen choose his clothes to wear. She even hugged him before leaving, just like before.

When Ye Mingchen walked out of the Lin'An Residence, he kept feeling that something wasn't right. Turning his head back twice, he saw Bai Youyou wearing a nightgown standing at the door and smiling at him. He waved her through the door.

It was early spring, and the weather was very cold.

Bai Youyou nodded his head to indicate that she heard it and closed the door.

The Ye Family Group was a tranquil place. All the employees took their positions, and those who were able to work at the headquarters were naturally the elites. They did things cleanly and efficiently.

Ye Mingchen wanted to make up for the work he did two days ago, so he was rather busy.

As such, he didn't even notice it after noon. He waited until he was hungry before frowning.

It was already two in the afternoon. In the past, Bai Youyou would always come to deliver food before midnight, even if there was something urgent, she would send him a message. However, there was no movement at all.

Dong Ming rubbed his stomach as he entered, looking at Ye Mingchen with satisfaction, he asked with jealousy: "Is Loving Lunch delicious?"

Ye Mingchen normally did not have much of an expression, but as a child, Dong Ming had a very good grasp on his expression. He could tell that Ye Mingchen was not happy.

"Bai Youyou didn't bring you food?"

He pointed it out, and seeing Ye Mingchen's gloomy face, he knew that he had guessed right.

Then he said, "You didn't eat, did you? I don't even remember the time when I worked. "Sigh, fortunately, I wanted to give you two husband and wife some time alone …"

He sighed in a pretentious manner, with a tone as low as he could muster.

It was rare for Dong Ming to not be afraid of that cold face of Ye Mingchen in the circle.

Ye Mingchen glanced at him, then took his phone and started to dial.

Something was not quite right. Ever since he had left today, he had felt that something was amiss.
