"Hello?" Ye Xi said suspiciously as he held his phone close to his ear.
"?" What responded to Ye Xi was a faintly discernible breath. His first impression was that the other party was a woman, because her breathing was very shallow and very thin.
Ye Xi frowned, then opened his mouth once again, "Hello, how are you?"
"I am Yaoting's mother." Ye Xi's last word had yet to come out from his mouth when he heard the other party speaking.
Ye Xi was surprised, but she quickly calmed down. She lowered her long and soft eyelashes and said softly, "Hello, may I ask what you need?"
"I want to see you... Do you have time now? " she asked.
Ye Xi's eyelashes trembled, "I have two hours of rest time at noon."
"Heh?" "Alright, I'll wait for you at the coffee shop near Huo's."
"Alright." After Ye Xi finished speaking, he did not hang up, but waited politely for her to hang up first.
After a moment of silence, the man asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"?" Ye Xi was startled, and did not say a word.
"Juice or coffee?" Perhaps he did not hear Ye Xi's reply, and that gave Ye Xi two choices.
Ye Xi opened his mouth, and sighed in his heart, "Juice?"
This time, the other party did not say anything and just hung up the phone.
He took off his phone, and Ye Xi lowered his head as he stood in his office for a while. Only then did he return to his office, take his bag, and go to the caf?.
Arriving at the cafe, Ye Xi saw the woman sitting in front of the window right away while standing at the entrance.
The woman's hair had come down, a very young maroon billow, very long, and the ends of it had fallen to her hips on the cloth sofa chair.
The cheongsam was shoulder-length. One of her arms rested on the table as she lazily supported her head. The other hand was leisurely and bored as she stirred the coffee with a spoon.
The warm sunlight from outside the window sprinkled onto her body, causing the diamond on her neck that matched her cheongsam to shine brightly.
She was like an elegant lady from the nineties, but not quite. Her face was so young that there was not a trace of age in it.
"Here."
Perhaps because she saw Ye Xi at the door, she extended her hand out towards Ye Xi. Her body was like a snake, elegantly straightening her body, revealing her charming and flirtatious style, dazzling everyone who looked at her.
Ye Xi sighed in her heart, she had no choice but to admit that this woman was beautiful, even if she knew that she was probably over 40 years old, she had to admit this fact.
Ye Xi walked over and sat in the seat opposite of her. The bag was still on his shoulder and he didn't seem to plan on staying long.
The woman raised her eyebrows and pushed a glass of lemon juice in front of Ye Xi, "It's good for women's skin to drink more."
"Thank you." Ye Xi looked at the lemon in front of him and said.
The woman laughed, "Let me introduce myself, Han Yuxue, Yaoting's mother."
Ye Xi nodded, "Hello."
The woman pursed her red lips, "What should I call you? Ye Xi? Too unfamiliar. How about I call you Xiao Xi? "
Ye Xi lowered his eyes, "As you wish."
"Heh?" She took a sip of her coffee and put it down. Then she looked up at Ye Xi and asked, "When were you and Yaoting together?"
Ye Xi looked at her, "Are you concerned about it?"
"Of course, Yaoting is my biological son. I am very concerned about anything regarding him." Han Yuxue leaned back against the back of the chair, and said while looking at Ye Xi, as if it was a matter of course.
Ye Xi stared at her. The girl's pure eyes made his face stiffen for a moment.
After taking a light breath, Han Yuxue asked, "Xiao Xi, do you have some sort of misunderstanding about me?"
"You're too serious. I don't understand you, so how can there be a misunderstanding?" Ye Xi said softly.
"That day?" Han Yuxue laughed bitterly, "If it wasn't for you that day, I'm afraid I would have died in my own son's hands."
When he mentioned that day, Ye Xi's little face paled, and fear flashed past her eyes. She clenched her two little fists on her knees.
That night, she did not ask who that woman was, because she had an answer in her heart.
She didn't want to talk about women because she didn't want to drag him into painful memories again.
When she received the woman's call today, she had already confirmed the answer in her heart.
Han Yuxue squinted at Ye Xi, not letting go of the change in her expression.
After a long while, Han Yuxue suddenly leaned forward with both hands on the table, looking straight into Ye Xi's eyes, he asked suspiciously, "Xiao Xi, have we met before?"
"?" Ye Xi was startled, she stared at her, her big eyes blinking. Other than that night, this was the second time they had met.
Ye Xi shook his head slightly, "No."
Han Yuxue frowned suspiciously, his body leaning back once again as he stared at Ye Xi and mumbled to himself, "That's weird, but I have the same misconception about you that we've known each other for many years."
Many years?
Ye Xi frowned, he stared at her and did not speak.
Han Yuxue lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly looked up, staring at Ye Xi in surprise: "Xiao Xi, is your mother surnamed Xu?"
Ye Xi's heart jumped, "My mother's surname is Xu."
"Single name: Autumn, right?" Han Yuxue was getting more and more excited.
Ye Xi's pupils constricted as he nodded.
"Heavens, why do you look so familiar? You're actually Xu Qiu's daughter."Oh, Xiao Xi, you really look more and more like your mom now. You're all great beauties." Han Yuxue stood up in joy and walked towards Ye Xi.
Seeing her coming over, Ye Xi could only sit inside.
Han Yuxue unceremoniously sat next to her, and grabbed onto one of her hands. He happily pinched Ye Xi's little hand, "Xiao Xi, do you know? Your mother and I are good friends. It's just that something happened twenty years ago and I left B City, so I lost contact with your mother. This time, when I went back to B City, I went to the place where you used to live, but your mother doesn't live there anymore, I was just worried that I couldn't get in touch with her? Destiny? Xiao Xi? Such fate! "
After Han Yuxue finished speaking, Ye Xi suddenly felt that although her face did not reveal her age, but her actions still matched up to someone in her forties.
Ye Xi awkwardly pulled out her hand, but due to curiosity, she did not stop at this topic. Instead, she looked at Han Yuxue blankly and asked, "You, are you really friends with my mother?"
"Of course, we can share a man!" Han Yuxue seemed to be joking, but in Ye Xi's ears, there was an inexplicable sense of viciousness mixed within.
Ye Xi looked at her face carefully, but there was nothing on her face other than the joy after hearing news of her old friend.
However, Ye Xi only felt that it was strange that she would use such a comparison to describe the close relationship between her and Xu Qiu, and it was faintly uncomfortable.
