He looked at the watch in Jin Yan's hand. It was simple, but there was something luxurious about it.

She seemed to remember the watch on Xiao Yu's wrist. It was also this brand.

Could it be that what Jin Yan said about giving to friends was for Xiao Yu? However, this watch really did match Xiao Yu's temperament. A low-key, luxurious look suddenly appeared in his mind, as if Xiao Yu was wearing this watch.

He felt a strange sensation in his heart.

"In the past, when I was engaged to him, I didn't care too much. I only focused on working hard and even cancelled my engagement to him for a chance in the future. However, after so many years, I have always regretted it." Jin Yan's voice was lonely, but she looked at her watch with a gentle smile.

Hearing these words, Ye Yan Xi was sure that the watch was for Xiao Yu. Only Xiao Yu had once been engaged to her, so he didn't know why he would cancel the engagement.

He felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle. He felt dull pain.

Jin Yan didn't linger on her grief for a long time. She pulled Ye Yanxi along and said, "Can you take a look at this design for me?"

She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the price on the signboard. This was her salary for a few months.

The corner of Ye Yanxi's mouth quirked up in a smile as she looked at Jin Yan's somewhat excited expression. "This design looks really good. The person you want to give it to must be very compatible with it."

Jin Yan beamed with joy again. She handed the watch to the saleswoman. "This one, please use a good box to wrap it up."

The sales clerk saw how Jin Yan was so straightforward and certain, and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll definitely wrap it carefully for you. Miss, you have a good eye, this watch is a new one from our side. It's popular as soon as it goes on sale. You'll definitely be close to your sweetheart."

"Thank you." Jin Yan was even happier now.

"Miss Jin, then we'll go shopping first. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Un, I'll see you again when I have time!" Jin Yan smiled at the two of them and nodded.

Ye Yan and She Chuyan went up to the second floor. She Chuyan seemed to be lost in thought for a long time before she finally remembered who that Miss Jin was. No wonder she was so familiar with her.

"Xixi, isn't that the senior you admire so much, the young female diplomat who often appears on the news on TV?" He Chuyan smacked her forehead and finally remembered.

"That's right!" Ye Yanxi nodded. When she just entered the mall, she still felt full of fighting spirit and wanted to stroll around until her legs went weak. However, she felt that the mall was very stuffy and couldn't breathe.

"Are you for real?" It's actually really her! " Only then did She Chuyan react, "She really has a disposition, much more beautiful than what she looks like on TV. Oh right, how do you know her?"

Ye Yanxi smiled, "I've seen her in the CEO's office. They've been engaged before."

The CEO, wasn't that Xiao Yu? She Chuyan was intelligent to begin with, and upon hearing what Jin Yan had said, she became suspicious, "Xixi, didn't she say she would buy a watch for her lover? "Could it be …"

Ye Yan Xi pretended not to care as she shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe it's for the CEO."

Even though she had disguised herself well, She Chuyan still saw a trace of loneliness on Ye Yanxi's face and couldn't help but be worried in her heart, "Xixi, you … Is everything okay? "

"What's the matter with me?" Ye Yan Xi's voice rose as she took a deep breath. She felt that the shopping mall had become even more stuffy, "How about we go out and have a drink? I'm so thirsty, and I feel that the shopping mall is a bit hot. It's not comfortable at all."

Whether it was the shopping mall or her heart, Ye Yanxi didn't want to think too much about it.

"Alright, I just happen to be thirsty. I was just about to tell you." She Chuyan clapped her hands, then pulled Ye Yan and Xi Lin out of the shopping mall.

They found a café, sat down for a while, then went shopping, but all afternoon, Ye Yan Xi couldn't lift her spirits.

In the evening, their spirits waned and they prepared to go to dinner.

As soon as he walked out of the mall, he bumped into two people coming towards him. It could be said that they were enemies on a narrow path.

The ones walking in from outside the mall were Chu Beize and his fiancee, He Man.

He Man wore a light green knee-length skirt and white high-heeled shoes, while Chu Beize wore a white shirt with dark blue pants. He was holding onto Chu Beize's arm, and the two of them looked like a couple in deep love.

She saw Chu Beize first, then saw him appear together with He Man, her face changed, and she was about to charge forward.

When she realized what He Chuyan wanted to do, Ye Yanxi grabbed her to prevent her from doing something impulsive.

At the same time, Chu Beize also saw them.

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Chu Beize's face. He then looked at Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan with a wary expression, as if he was afraid that they would reveal the past in front of his fiancee.

She Man was also a smart person. She saw something strange on their faces.

"What is it? Do you know Beize? " She Man raised her face with a face full of arrogance, and looked at Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan.

"Of course I recognize him. Even if he had changed her face, I would still be able to recognize him!" She Chuyan squinted her eyes and smiled sarcastically.

"Beize, how come I've never heard you mention these two ladies before?" She Man looked straight at Chu Beize.

Chu Beize's expression returned to normal, "Oh, they are my old classmates, I just met them a few times."

"So that's how it is!" She Man let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "Don't tell me that one of these two people had a girlfriend?"

"How could that be?" Chu Beize immediately retorted, his expression did not change, but he still forced a smile, "You know, I've never been in a relationship before, where did my ex-girlfriend come from?"

"Even if we talk about it, there's nothing much to talk about. But I don't want the past to affect our future lives. "

"How could that be? How would it affect us in the future? Oh right, didn't you say you wanted to see the clothes?" "Then let's go up."

"Yes."

She Man walked ahead, her heels making a crisp sound on the marble floor. Chu Beize immediately followed behind her.

After the two of them left, Ye Yan Xi could still hear Chu Beize saying something, "Manman, look at the development of the western suburbs. I hope you can tell Uncle He and ask him to give me some advice."

In the western suburbs, Ye Yanxi knew that this was the project that Chu Beize was responsible for.

Looking at the two of them walking away, He Jieyan stomped his feet, "Chu Beize is a scum, from what he said just now, he can't wait to get rid of us. What junior, you think you are trying to keep him busy, who do you think you are? If you didn't stop me, I would have gone up and slapped him. And that fiancée, her eyes are almost on the top of his head.

After speaking about She Man, Ye Yan Xi looked at the back view of the two. She Man had tied up her hair, so she could clearly see that cinnabar mole.

She was sure Xiao Hong had one there too.

"What are you looking at?" She Chuyan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Ye Yanxi's eyes.

"Yanyan, why do I feel that He Man is just like the Little Red in the orphanage."

"What?" You said that Xiao Hong, who always likes to cry and hides behind you? " He Chu Yan let out a cold snort, "Look at He Man, how could that be possible? Alright, stop thinking so much. I'm so hungry, let's go eat."

"Fine." Perhaps she had mistaken him for someone else, Ye Yanxi thought to herself.

The weather today wasn't too good, and it was dark. After the two finished eating, it started to pour heavily. It looked like it wouldn't stop anytime soon, and Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan didn't bring any umbrellas with them when they went out.

After dinner, they listened to the sound of the rain outside. It was already night time, so they sat in the dining room staring at each other.

"I'm really unlucky to see Chu Beize, it's actually raining so heavily." He Chuyan curled his lips.

"You should think so. God told us to stay a little longer." Ye Yanxi smiled.

"Sigh, what a mush. I'm still looking for a man but I'm not interested in women!" He Chu Yan rolled his eyes.

"Then you can bear to part with me." Ye Yan Xi looked at her with a pitiful look, as if she had been abandoned.

"Stop!" She Chuyan glanced at Ye Yanxi and said, "Maybe the one who will leave me will be you."

As they were talking, Ye Yanxi's cell phone rang.

She didn't know why, but at that moment, she felt that it was Xiao Yu calling. However, when she looked down, she discovered that it was an unfamiliar number.

Less than a minute later, he hung up again. It was a sales call.

Seeing that Ye Yan Xi's face was not looking good, He Chu Yan asked, "Who's calling? Are you okay? "

"I'm fine. It's just a sales call." As he said that, he kept his phone, feeling a sense of irritation in his heart.

"The advertising call made you angry?"

"It's nothing. How about we go back this time? We don't know when we'll make it back." Ye Yanxi smiled.

"It's raining so heavily outside, how can we get there?"

"How about I go back first? You wait a while longer, I forgot to feed Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei when I left this morning, I'm scared that I'm going to starve." With that, Ye Yanxi stood up.

"What do we do when it rains?" He Chuyan pulled her back.

"It's fine. I'll go to the convenience store next door and buy an umbrella."

As a result, He Chuyan didn't stop her anymore, as she watched Ye Yanxi carrying her bag in a hurry and walking out of the restaurant.

It rained for a long time, but there was no sign of stopping. Ye Yan Xi sat on the bus and arrived at a stop near Green Jade Bay.

When she got out of the car, even though she was holding onto an umbrella, her entire body was still wet. Ye Yanxi was already shivering from the cold and completely numb. She didn't feel any coldness. When she arrived at the apartment building, not a single piece of her clothes was dry.

When they got on the elevator, there was someone in the elevator. Seeing Ye Yanxi's wet body, she leaned against the corner with disdain, and that person got off the elevator first and quickly walked past Ye Yanxi, almost bumping into her. Ye Yanxi could only expressionlessly push Liu Hai, who was blocking her eyes, to the back.

His clothes were completely drenched and stuck to his body. Only when the cold wind blew did he feel the chilliness that seeped into his bones.

When he reached the door, he reached into his bag for the key. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the key.

Ye Yan Xi looked through the bag again and found that the key was probably lost when she was taking things out.

Thus, she knocked on the door again, hoping that Xiao Yu was still in the room. But after waiting for ten minutes, the door didn't open and she knocked a few more times. The person next door opened the door, looked at Ye Yan Xi, and then closed the door.

Xiao Yu shouldn't be around.

The watch Jin Yan had bought was for him. Perhaps they were finishing their meal.

Ye Yan Xi no longer knocked on the door. The face of the woman next door was filled with impatience. It was already very late, so it wouldn't be good if she made a ruckus.

Her body was still somewhat cold, so she leaned against the wall and sat on the ground.

She was soaked from head to toe by the torrential rain, and now she couldn't even enter the house. It was very cold.

As the events of the day flashed through his mind, he felt extremely wronged, as if he was the one that had always been abandoned.

Just as he was about to take out his phone to call He Jiyan, he asked if she had gone back yet.

However, just as she opened her phone, before she could find He Chuyan's number, a low battery notification sounded. Soon after, the screen dimmed down and the computer shut down completely.

The call didn't connect, and he didn't know if He Xianyan had gone back yet. If he went to look for her now, she might not have gone back yet. In such a heavy rain, it would be better to just wait here for Xiao Yu to come back.

She just looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock. Xiao Yu usually didn't come back very late, so it should be soon, right? she thought.

In the pitch-black corridor, she could hear the pitter-patter of the rain outside. She waited alone at the door, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

He had no idea how long he sat there in the dark. Eventually, he felt his body heat up and he just wanted to go to sleep. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Then, he slowly lost consciousness.

In the underground parking lot, Xiao Yu got out of the car, told Xu Bei to come and pick him up early, and then went up to the elevator.

Before they entered the elevator, Xiao Yu dialed Ye Yan Xi's number. However, there was the sound of a phone being switched off.

He had clearly texted her in the morning.

Suddenly, a trace of displeasure appeared in Xiao Yu's eyes as he coldly hung up the phone.

After getting out of the elevator, he walked towards the apartment with his long and slender legs.

However, before he even reached the door, he saw Ye Yanxi sitting on the ground. Her eyes were closed and her entire body was drenched in sweat.

There was still a puddle of water on the ground.

In her daze, she felt someone speaking into her ear, a hand on her forehead, bringing with it a slight chill. It was extremely comfortable. She struggled to open her eyes and saw Xiao Yu in front of her.

Was he worried about her?

"You must be dreaming, right?" Ye Yan Xi mumbled to herself as she fell into Xiao Yu's arms.
