After hanging up the call from He Chuyan, Ye Yanxi stood in front of the shopping mall, waiting for Xiao Yu to come pick her up.

After waiting for a while, she suddenly heard someone call out to her from behind.

"Miss Ye."

Ye Yan Xi subconsciously turned her head and saw He Zhenhua behind her. He had seen her clearly hostile towards him several times, but now he suddenly called out to her, leaving her at a loss. She couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Hello, Director He!" However, seeing that the other person had called out to her first, Ye Yan Xi quickly and politely nodded her head to greet him.

"Why is he alone today? Did he not come with your friend?" He Zhenhua looked around Ye Yan Xi and asked.

"Oh, I'm just passing by today. I'm not here to go shopping." Ye Yan Xi quickly explained.

"So that's how it is. I thought you were here to shop." He Zhenhua seemed to be very busy, looking down at his watch from time to time. "Yesterday's matter was too abrupt, and I didn't think it through. How about this, it's the right time for dinner. I'll treat you to dinner as an apology."

Looking at He Zhenhua's expression, Ye Yanxi knew that she was only casually inviting her out. In truth, she didn't really have much sincerity in her heart, but she was just being polite, at least on this point. She understood what she was capable of, and it wouldn't be enough for the president of the He family to treat her to a meal and apologize.

"No need." Therefore, she hesitated a bit, then explained with a smile: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Boss He. You didn't say anything wrong yesterday, so there's no need to apologize. I'm waiting for someone to come and pick me up, so I'll be leaving soon, so there's no need to trouble you anymore."

"If that's the case, then there's no other way. When the time comes, I'll treat you to a meal." He Zhenhua said indifferently.

Ye Yanxi thought in her heart that perhaps there wouldn't be that day, but she still politely replied, "Okay then, I will definitely have a chance."

"One more thing, I would like to ask Miss Ye."

"I wonder what he always wanted to ask?" Ye Yan Xi suspiciously looked at him, feeling a bit surprised in her heart.

"I've heard that you're an orphan. Have you ever thought of finding your own biological parents?"

Ye Yan Xi didn't expect He Zhenhua to ask her this question at all, but she had thought of it before. It was just that there wouldn't be such a day. "It's been so long, I don't have such a strong desire to find them anymore."

"Why?"

"Now that I have a father and a friend, if I suddenly find my biological parents, that's strange too. Maybe they already have their own children, and their families are happy and full of life, maybe they will be the same as me. Maybe, because of my sudden appearance, they would be in a mess in their original lives, so I think that's fine."

Right now, she had her father, He Chuyan and a few other close friends, as well as Xiao Yu. This was enough, she should be satisfied with what she had.

Long ago, she was also very envious of the child her parents doted on, who could act coquettishly towards her parents, especially when she saw that the girl who lived in the same dorm as her had already been found by her biological parents and taken back. At that time, her wish was especially strong, and she also hoped that her own parents would accidentally find her one day, but after so many years, she was no longer that little girl.

When he grew up, he would envy his parents, but also resent them for giving birth to him and then abandoning him. However, now that everything had been cleared up, he felt like there was nothing left to hate.

"So you don't want to find your parents?" He Zhenhua's tone seemed to carry a hint of interrogation, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if we find it or not. It doesn't matter." Ye Yan Xi answered truthfully.

He Zhenhua didn't say anything, he only fixed his gaze on Ye Yanxi for a long time. The assistant beside him seemed to be reporting on their work to him, which could probably be counted as someone's secret on the job. Thus, Ye Yanxi consciously nodded towards He Zhenhua and walked away.

He continued to wait for Xiao Yu to arrive. Seeing that it was about time, he waited for another five minutes before Xiao Yu called.

Ye Yan Xi quickly told Xiao Yu to park the car in a concealed location. Then he jogged over and got on the car like a thief.

Every time Xiao Yu saw her cautious movements, it was as if she was engaging in guerrilla warfare. His face would immediately darken, and today was no exception.

"Why didn't he go to the underground parking lot or the subway near the company? Why did he choose so far away?" She had just sat down when Xiao Yu pressed her.

He still had the nerve to ask her that!

Ye Yanxi muttered in her heart, and somewhat grudgingly said, "Today you said in the middle of a meeting that your clothes were bought by a woman?"

"So what?" Xiao Yu retorted with a question, "This is the truth, is there something wrong with that?"

She actually still had the face to ask him. Ye Yan Xi ignored his words as if they made some sense, and unhappily explained, "That's right, I said that we can't reveal our relationship yet, right? When you say it like that, the company goes into an uproar and all of them are trying to guess who that woman is! "

"Do you want our relationship to grow forever?" Xiao Yu's voice was clearly filled with hostility as he raised his voice, "Ye Yan Xi, am I really giving you a lot of face by being your boyfriend?"

Ye Yan Xi sighed, "CEO, you are not shameful, but the key is that the gap between us is too big. Once it is exposed, I will be the one to bear the pressure, so I am not ready!"

In reality, she was planning something else in her mind. If this was the case, then it couldn't be exposed. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to defend herself.

However, Xiao Yu's expression eased up a bit upon hearing Ye Yan Xi's words.

"Then how long will you be preparing?" Xiao Yu immediately followed up with another question that Ye Yan Xi didn't want to answer.

Ye Yan Xi casually said, "I can't say for sure. Anyway, it's not possible now, so I'll tell you when we get there."

Xiao Yu didn't press her further. He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. In his heart, he felt a bit guilty.

However, Xiao Yu said something else. "The day after tomorrow will be Beize's and He Cong's wedding. I must attend that day. Will you be with me?" Then he added, "To see your ex-boyfriend's wedding."

Ye Yan Xi immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, "Forget it, that's not the time for me to go."

Because of the matter at the mall, with Lady Chu and Madam He's feelings for her, it would only make everyone uncomfortable. If he went to the wedding and messed it up, it would be a big deal.

"You and me."

A warning bell immediately sounded in Ye Yanxi's head.

Why did Xiao Yu insist on taking her there? She didn't believe that he had such good intentions. He was afraid that he would just casually toss her into the crowd. If that happened, she would be in deep trouble.

There were so many people who didn't welcome her, she really couldn't bear it. Furthermore, this was a festive occasion.

"Ah, so hungry..." Ye Yan Xi rubbed her stomach and immediately changed the topic, "What do you want to eat tonight? We'll stop at the shopping mall to buy vegetables."

Xiao Yu only glanced at her and two words came out between his teeth, "Anything!"

In the past, when he was asked, Yuan Zhou had always been able to shout out the names of a bunch of dishes without panicking. Now, only two words were being spoken, 'anything'. It seemed that Yuan Zhou was in a really bad mood.

However, Ye Yan Xi didn't plan to coax him. This stingy man was simply too hard to coax. Who knows when she would sneak into his trap.

The next morning, it was a weekend, so Ye Yanxi didn't have to work, but Xiao Yu still had to go to the company as usual.

In the morning, Ye Yan Xi intentionally got up and made breakfast for him. But after eating, she didn't say much and just left. But from the fact that he could eat the breakfast she made, it seemed that his anger had dissipated a bit.

Xiao Yu was a bit angry. No one could compare to him. Furthermore, he would get angry at every moment. He would think of opening a dyeing workshop if he was given just a bit of color.

However, these words were at most a few complaints in her heart. She wouldn't say them out in front of Xiao Yu, otherwise she might be tossed around.

After Xiao Yu left, Ye Yanxi went back to sleep. After she woke up, she called He Xianyan, wanting to pick up her backpack.

However, he had listened to how HeChu Yan complained about the clothes he bought for a long time, and that was within her expectations, because the clothes she bought were all over the season.

At that time, Ye Yan Xi had tried to persuade her, but she was unable to bring back He Chu Yan. She had already predicted that when she went back, He Chu Yan would definitely regret it.

When he finally calmed her down and was about to leave, her phone rang again.

It was Jin Yan.

Ye Yan Xi was still hesitant. She didn't know if she should accept it or not. In any case, Jin Yan had always been her idol.

However, based on her relationship with Xiao Yu, and the fact that they had been living together for a long time, Jin Yan had always liked Xiao Yu.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally answered.

"Hello, hello." Ye Yanxi took a deep breath.

"It's me, Jin Yan." Jin Yan bluntly stated her name.

"Hello, Miss Jin!" Ye Yan Xi then asked, "I wonder why Miss Jin is looking for me?"

"Let's meet up. I'll be waiting for you at the coffee shop on Heavenly Heart Road." Jin Yan stated her purpose.

Ye Yan Xi wanted to reject him immediately, but she couldn't come up with a suitable excuse, "Okay, what time is it?"

"In half an hour, I'll be waiting for you there.

"Alright."

Since it was only half an hour, they wouldn't be able to go to She Chuyan's house now. Thus, after she called She Chuyan and explained the situation, She Chuyan immediately became spirited, saying that after she was done, they could go shopping in the neighborhood, since she had nothing to do at the weekend.

Ye Yan Xi didn't have to be careful, so she made an appointment with her and went out to take a taxi to the coffee shop.

This was a relatively high-end coffee shop. The interior was elegant and quiet, and as soon as Ye Yanxi entered, she gave her name. She was immediately escorted to Jin Yan's private room.

The people who could come here were no small matter. They were all successful members of the upper class. The waiters were used to seeing famous people, and when they saw Jin Yan, they all had the same expression.

However, she didn't look at Ye Yan Xi with a friendly gaze. In fact, she even looked down on her. However, she didn't look at Ye Yan Xi with any concern.

When they arrived at Jin Yan's private room, the waiter took a close look at Ye Yanxi before lightly knocking on the door.

"Miss Jin."

"What is it?" Jin Yan's distant, indifferent voice drifted from within.

"You waited for Miss Ye to come in, do you want to go in now?" The attendant's attitude towards Ye Yan Xi had a 180 degree change; she was respectful and cautious.

"Let her in."

"Alright." The waitress looked at Ye Yan Xi with a displeased expression, then left without a word.

Ye Yanxi opened the door and walked in.

The first thing he saw was Jin Yan, seated at the round table in a wheelchair. She seemed to be sipping her coffee. When she heard the noise, she looked towards the door.

"Miss Jin, it's Ye Yanxi. Sorry for being late." Ye Yanxi politely said, worshipping Jin Yan from the bottom of her heart.

"Since you're here, come in and have a seat!" Jin Yan's voice was lukewarm.

Ye Yanxi closed the door and sat down opposite of Jin Yan. Seeing that Jin Yan was still seated on her wheelchair, she couldn't help but feel a bit worried. "Miss Jin, how's your leg? Are you feeling better?"

Legs...

Although this sentence was filled with kindness and concern, it stabbed at Jin Yan's sore spot. She gave a self-deprecating smirk.

"What is good? What's not good? "

Ye Yan Xi suddenly felt a burst of awkwardness. She hadn't expected Jin Yan to say this, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her. Still, she could feel a bit of disappointment in her heart.

Regardless of who it was, this was definitely not a good thing. If his leg was injured, there would be repercussions. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be happy.

"I'm sorry, Miss King, I shouldn't have asked."

"Nothing, I'm already used to it." "You don't have to apologize," Jin Yan said flatly. "It's not your fault."

"Then why did you call me here today?" Ye Yan Xi sat there feeling a bit uncomfortable, so she asked this question. She and Jin Yan weren't exactly familiar with each other, and if it weren't for Xiao Yu, they probably wouldn't even have met each other.

"How long have you and Yu been together?" Jin Yan sipped her coffee.

He'd expected it to be because of Xiao Yu, but alas, this person was practically her jinx.

"About a month." However, she didn't want to tell Jin Yan about the matter between her and Xiao Yu sixteen years ago. She feared that things might get even worse for her.

"One month." Jin Yan snorted lightly. "It's only been a month, but you two already have such deep feelings for each other."

She wasn't sure if she was overthinking things, but she had a feeling Jin Yan's words were hiding needles.

Instinctively, Ye Yan Xi wanted to open her mouth to refute something, but after thinking for a while, she didn't say anything.

"You and he only know each other for a month, and we've known each other for ten years. What a joke. Even ten years wouldn't be enough for a month."

Therefore, Ye Yan Xi quickly shut her mouth, it was better to not say anything.

"No matter what I do or what I've done for him, he won't even look back at me. Even if I went to find Leo for him, even if I'm injured and lost a leg in the hospital, at that time, you guys will still be together, loving each other, right?"
