C195

On the way back to Green Jade Bay, the sky gradually darkened and the streets were lit up with neon lights. They reflected an intoxicated world, with large advertising screens displaying all sorts of novel and novel advertisements.

On the brightly lit streets, the Valentine's Day advertisements were naturally the most numerous.

Looking at the date on the screen, Ye Yanxi couldn't help but be shocked. So it was actually going to be Valentine's Day tomorrow.

Last time when she and He Chuyan saw those Valentine's Day advertisements, the two of them had been wandering aimlessly in the streets. At that time, she had been looking forward to seeing Xiao Yu at dawn.

Now that she had returned to Blue Jade Bay, tomorrow would be the seventh birthday. Could she be considered satisfied with her wish? It could be considered the first Valentine's Day that she and Xiao Yu had spent together.

Just as she was happily thinking about what to do tomorrow, Xu Bei, who was in the driver's seat, suddenly called out to her.

"Miss Ye." For some reason, Ye Yanxi felt that Xu Bei's voice was a bit unnatural.

She was surprised and asked, "Big brother Xu, what's wrong?"

"That's right..." Xu Bei said hesitantly, "About that... Tomorrow... Isn't it just the Double Seventh Festival? "

Hearing him say this, Ye Yan Xi began to understand a little. According to her understanding, Xu Bei also had a girlfriend, so he wanted to spend Valentine's Day with his girlfriend on the Double Seventh Festival, right?

After realizing what had happened, she looked at Xu Bei's hesitant appearance, and immediately helped Xu Bei to finish his words. With a smile, she said, "You want to spend tomorrow with your girlfriend, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Bei glanced at the rearview mirror somewhat embarrassedly, "My girlfriend said she would rest tomorrow, so I thought I could take half a day off, but I can still take half a day's work in the morning."

After a pause, Xu Bei said with some difficulty: "But the CEO..."

"I understand what you mean. The CEO isn't such a tyrannical and unreasonable person, right? How about this, I'll tell him that after arriving at the company in the morning, he'll just leave in the afternoon." Ye Yanxi suggested.

"Really?" Xu Bei's tone was immediately filled with joy, "Then thank you, Miss Ye."

"It's just a small matter. Everyone wants to spend Valentine's Day tomorrow with their other half. That's understandable." Ye Yan Xi was also infected with his joy and began to laugh. Moreover, Xu Bei was a good person, so she was happy to help himself.

The bright street lights poured into the dim car. Ye Yan Xi was just able to see the blush on Xu Bei's face, so she must be very happy.

"Where are you going to take your girlfriend tomorrow?" Ye Yan Xi curiously asked.

Speaking of this, Xu Bei immediately felt a surge of joy and relaxed. "She kept making a ruckus about going to an amusement park to ride the roller coaster, so I planned to take her there to play for a while, then go shopping and watch a movie at night."

This was what every couple would do, right? They would take a roller coaster ride, go shopping, and watch a movie together. As long as they were doing it together, they would feel that it was romantic no matter what.

However, for a busy person like Xiao Yu, it would be hard to find time for this sort of thing.

Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi's eyes dimmed. She said with a bit of envy, "That's great. If you two can spend the holidays together, your girlfriend will definitely be very happy."

When Xu Bei heard the disappointment in Ye Yanxi's words, he couldn't help but feel that he had said something wrong and had forgotten everything in his happiness.

He immediately explained, "Miss Ye, the CEO has been rather busy recently, so..."

"I know." Ye Yanxi smiled, "You don't have to comfort me, I don't blame you."

Maybe their Valentine's Day was working in the same building.

However, it was still much better than the couples that separated the two places. In any case, they would still be able to see each other often, Ye Yanxi consoled herself in her heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car wasn't right, Xu Bei didn't say anything more and continued to talk. He estimated that Ye Yan Xi was once again in a bad mood.

After arriving at Qingyu Bay, Xu Bei was still worried and told Ye Yanxi before he left, "Miss Ye, I'll leave the matter of me taking leave tomorrow to you."

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Ye Yanxi smiled as she responded, and then she took the elevator up to the second floor.

Huge posters were placed inside the elevator as well as advertising campaigns for the nearby shopping mall to promote Valentine's Day. There was even an amusement park, where couples were priced at half price tomorrow.

Looking at the colorful poster, Ye Yanxi felt a bit disappointed in her heart.

Even though she knew Xiao Yu was always busy and wouldn't have the time to accompany her … Perhaps it was because he didn't care if tomorrow was the Double Seventh Festival. Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi felt a sense of loss in her heart. To spend Valentine's Day with someone she loved … this was also something that every woman looked forward to.

When she got to the front of the apartment, she took a deep breath and cleaned up the mess.

There was no use thinking about it. The more expectations one had, the greater the disappointment.

When he opened the door, the room was as dark as ever. Xiao Yu was probably still busy at the moment, and hadn't come back yet.

Standing at the door, Ye Yanxi only felt very cold. Thus, she sent Xiao Yu a text message asking if he was still busy. Right after sending the message, Xiao Yu called.

"He went back?"

"Yes." Are you almost done there? " Ye Yanxi asked.

It seemed that someone was calling out to Xiao Yu. He lowered his voice and said, "You might have to busy yourself for a while. If you're tired, you should rest first. Don't wait for me."

"Alright, then busy yourself." After hanging up the phone, Ye Yanxi changed into her shoes. She felt that the room was much quieter than before.

She first went to wash up, then picked up a book to read. Until now, Xiao Yu still hadn't come back.

After looking for a while, she felt a bit absent-minded, so she decided to go downstairs to Xiao Yu's study.

In the past, Xiao Yu stayed in the study room for a bit longer to work. Every time he worked, Ye Yanxi rarely disturbed him, so the number of times she came in was also quite hot. After she pushed open the door and walked in, she saw two rows of bookshelves filled with books, mostly in foreign languages.

The desk was clean and tidy. Other than some office supplies, there was nothing else.

Ye Yan Xi walked around the table and sat down on the large chair. He closed his eyes and imagined Xiao Yu sitting there, as if he were in the office.

When he opened his eyes, he could not help but sigh.

He didn't know what had happened to him recently, and he could only sigh for no reason. Was it because the Double Seventh Festival was about to arrive?

She stared at the pen holder on the table for a while before standing up. She was bored out of her mind and began flipping through the books on the shelves. She hadn't paid much attention to what books Xiao Yu liked to read before.

She rummaged through the pages until she found a book that looked like it had been thumbed through a lot by the owner. The pages were slightly rolled up, and there was even some wear and tear on them.

This was the book that Xiao Yu often read, right?

After flipping through a few pages, Ye Yan Xi suddenly felt that there was something in the book that was bulging up.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Yanxi still couldn't help but be curious. She flipped through a few pages. There really was something here. It was an old photo, and it could be seen that it was very old.

He could vaguely see that the person in the photo was a girl.

At that moment, Ye Yanxi's heart was beating rapidly. She took the photo to a place with a bright light, and compared it to the light, she was able to clearly see the girl in the photo.

The girl didn't seem to be old, only around ten years old. Her black eyes were extremely intelligent, with a oval face and pointed chin. She looked very pretty, but the photo was blurry, and her attire was unclear. She seemed to be dressed as a student, with loose ponytails that hung down to her shoulders, and a mischievous smile on the corner of her mouth.

Why is there a picture of a girl in Xiao Yu's book? What relationship did she have with Xiao Yu?

Holding this photo, Ye Yanxi's hands trembled slightly. One question after another rose up in her mind. She really wanted to know who this girl was. What kind of person was Xiao Yu?

After so many years, Xiao Yu had kept her photo hidden away. The pages on the side of the book could be seen to indicate that he often came to look through it, right?

He felt a pang of sadness for the unknown photo.

Although he tried his best not to think about it, there was nothing he could do to stop his thoughts.

If it were an ordinary person, then the only possibility for someone to keep a photograph of another person of the opposite sex for years would be … This man was the most important person in his life.

Could she be Xiao Yu's former lover?

Countless answers flashed through Ye Yan's mind. Even now, Xiao Yu still cherished her picture. If he was an unforgettable lover, then what was she now?

She shifted her gaze to the photo again. She had to admit that the woman in the photo was much more beautiful than her. Even though it was a black and white photo, one could still tell that she had a very good temperament and looked even more beautiful when she smiled.

Xiao Yu probably wouldn't forget her, so she had always kept her photo hidden, and still kept her in her heart.

Ye Yan couldn't help but think that if that girl appeared again, Xiao Yu would probably choose her!

Suddenly, he felt that he was somewhat ridiculous. Just a moment ago, he was still depressed because he couldn't spend Valentine's Day with Xiao Yu. But now, in the blink of an eye, he found a photo of another woman in his study.

Just as she was lost in her own thoughts, the phone suddenly rang. Even the sound of the bell in the empty room was so abrupt that the photo in her hand fell to the floor.

Ye Yan Xi quickly picked up the photo and placed it on the page. Then, she went to find her phone.

The caller ID was Xiao Yu.

For no reason, Ye Yanxi felt a burst of guilt.

She felt like she was secretly peeping at someone else's privacy while they were being grabbed at a bag. She even wondered if Xiao Yu had only called because she had peeked at the photo.

Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi began to panic, and her fingers became much slower. Perhaps her hands were sweating, and she had to press a few times before answering the correct button.

After the call connected, Ye Yan Xi asked in a small voice, "What happened? There is... What's the matter? "
