Ye Xi had not walked far from the Lan's Mansion when he heard Little Treasure Wang shouting from behind him.
After being startled for a moment, Ye Xi turned his head to look, only to see a small ball of white shadow rushing towards her.
Not long after, the hem of her skirt was bitten by Little Treasure's fangs.
Ye Xi looked down at Little Treasure, and Little Treasure also looked at her, rage in his eyes.
The tip of his nose started to ache uncontrollably, Ye Xi sniffed, then squatted down and rubbed Little Treasure's head with his red eyes.
"Woof, woof?" Under Ye Xi's comforting words, Xiao Bao slowly gave him its teeth, its small head rubbing against its leg, looking at Ye Xi with its eyes wide open.
"Little Treasure, be good. You can stay with grandma for a while. After Mommy's baby is born, Mommy will come to take you home, okay?"
Ye Xi held Little Treasure and said with a gentle tone of discussion.
"Woof, woof?" Xiao Bao stared at Ye Xi and cried.
Ye Xi tugged on Xiao Bao's ears, "Xiao Bao, believe in Mommy. She will come to pick you up soon."
However, even Ye Xi did not expect that Little Treasure, whom she had promised to "not long", would have lasted for several years.
When she saw Little Treasure again, he was no longer the tiny little thing he was now. He could still be held in her arms.
In the end, Ye Xi coaxed Little Treasure around for a good while before he carried Little Treasure back to Lan's Mansion and left.
What Ye Xi did not know was that after she left, Little Treasure stood alone at the Lan's Mansion entrance, staring in the direction she left in for a very, very long time.
Ye Xi walked to the bus stop and stood at the side of the tarmac with his phone in hand. Her delicate eyelashes drooped down as she stared at the phone in her hand.
He did not forget what the man had said to her before he left. He had said that he would come and get her later.
Ye Xi was hesitating, hesitating whether or not she should tell that person that she had already left the Lan's Mansion.
After a long while, when the bus that was heading to the city center arrived and Ye Xi got on the car, she still had not decided whether or not she should inform someone.
Before this, such a small problem wasn't worth hesitating over for such a long time. But now, she was truly hesitating.
Sitting on the bus next to the window, Ye Xi tilted his head and silently watched the scenery pass by.
His mind played over and over again the bits and pieces of the day they had met.
The more he thought about it, the more Ye Xi felt that he was hopelessly stupid.
There were many things that reminded her that this man was not what he said he was. He was just a small employee.
A large house of a few thousand square meters, a car loan that was suddenly repaid, two thousand yuan's worth of domestic helpers, two hundred thousand yuan worth of clothes that was bought for her without blinking an eye, a house in the Four Seasons Garden, many, countless of details? Now the whole thing was sarcastic and biting at her nerves.
He thought about how she had i ocently told him that she would pay back the car loan with him because of the 200, 000 yuan of clothes she was wearing, and how she had just gotten pregnant and the CEO had extended the maternity leave. When she had happily shared it with him, he had been laughing at her stupidity.
Ye Xi sucked in a deep breath as he tried to wipe the tears in his eyes. However, the tears never stopped as they continued to fall.
Ye Xi covered his face with his hands, crying silently like a child.
Admit it Ye Xi, you are injured, it's true, you are injured! Because she loved a man who lied to her in everything!
There were very few people on this bus to the city. At this moment, there were only two or three passengers and a driver in the huge coach.
Because the distance between them was too far, they didn't notice Ye Xi's abnormality.
Ye Xi unrestrainedly used her tears to vent her sullen emotions. As a result, when she got off the car, Ye Xi's eyes were as swollen as two big walnuts.
When she got off, her appearance attracted the attention of several passengers who were getting off at the same time.
Ye Xi's face was flushed red from being stared at. She pursed her lips and covered her face, with her head lowered, she quickly got off the carriage.
After avoiding the crowd and walking for a short distance, the phone in his hand suddenly rang. Ye Xi's footsteps paused, and his breathing actually paused as well.
Ye Xi held his phone tightly and took a few light breaths. Then, he looked at the phone.
When he saw the caller ID, Ye Xi's scalp turned numb. He never thought that the phone call would be from Overlord Qiao, who had disappeared for a long time!
Licking his lips, Ye Xi frowned, but he still reluctantly accepted it.
"Xi Xi, Surprise."
The moment the phone was co ected, the indolent voice of a certain hegemon came over.
Ye Xi curled his lips, did not utter a word, and walked with his head lowered to a quiet resting chair and sat up.
"Hey, Ye Xi, it's been so long since I've called you, is this how you treat me?" Qiao Jinglian scoffed.
Ye Xi pursed his lips, "What are you looking for me for?"
When Ye Xi said this, the other side fell silent.
Ye Xi had not been able to wait for a long time before opening his mouth, his eyelids fluttered and he sighed in his heart.
Fine, she admitted that her tone earlier had been very impatient.
With his domineering and unique personality, if she was in front of him right now, his neck would probably be in trouble.
After pausing for a moment, Ye Xi had no choice but to adjust his tone, and asked softly and sincerely, "Brother Lian, is there something you need?"
"Can't I look for you if I'm fine?" His tone was filled with displeasure!
Ye Xi frowned, and retorted in his heart, "why are you looking for her for?".
However, under the situation where a certain Overlord was already angered, she did not even dare to ask this question out loud if he had ten times the guts to ask her.
Ye Xi bit her lips in frustration and her voice became softer, "Brother Lian, I don't have that intention."
"Humph!" Qiao Jinglian coldly snorted, and after a moment of silence, his tone suddenly grew heavy, "Xi Xi, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"?" Ye Xi was startled, "What day?"
Qiao Jinglian's breathing became heavy, his voice became dejected, and at the same time, a bit of self-deprecating, "You really did forget."
Ye Xi frowned, he quickly took his phone and looked at the date, his mind thinking quickly, suddenly thinking of something, Ye Xi took a deep breath and immediately placed the phone beside his ear, "Brother Lian, today is your birthday."
"Heh?" It was not in vain for Brother Lian to love you so much." Qiao Jinglian's voice had a hint of a smile, as he was extremely satisfied with Ye Xi's sudden recall of his birthday.
Love her?
Ye Xi's face was filled with black lines.
Ye Xi puffed his lips, but due to the fact that today was the happiest day of his life, Ye Xi's fair face revealed a smile, "Brother Lian, happy birthday!"
After Ye Xi finished speaking, that person seemed to have chuckled, but he could not hear it clearly, and then, he heard him say lazily, "Is that it?"
Ye Xi blinked his eyes. What else could he do?
