Ye Ziyi's expression was as calm as ever. He shrugged his shoulders helplessly and asked with a smile, "Zhiyuan, are you worrying about me?"
"Hum, " Leng Zhiyuan nodded.
"Really?" Ye Ziyi's eyes lit up as he looked at her.
Leng Zhiyuan could see the sincerity in his eyes. She curled the corners of her lips, "If you believe, then what I said is true."
"You're beating around the bush with me? Fine, I believe it's true, " Ye Ziyi reached out to hold her little hand."Let's go back. You must not be used to this kind of situation."
He held her hand and led her out of the hall. The waiter drove the luxury car over. Leng Zhiyuan sat in the passenger seat while Ye Ziyi drove.
"Ziyi, is it okay for us to leave like this? Will your father... blame you?"
Ye Ziyi pressed both his hands on the steering wheel. He did not look at Leng Zhiyuan, but adjusted to a comfortable position and said calmly, "He won't be angry. He has never taken me as his son. Other than loving himself, he probably only loves... Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao's biological mother is his first wife, the love of his life. As for my mother, she is just an ordinary woman. My birth was also an accident. He never intended to have me, so he sent me to the orphanage..."
"Zhiyuan, " Ye Ziyi glanced sideways at Leng Zhiyuan and smiled."I knew what I should be fighting for since I was young. I knew that if I didn't work hard enough, I wouldn't be able to get anything. I've had enough of the discrimination and supercilious looks of this world. I swore that I will live high and mighty."
At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan understood him. This was someone who had never received love and care. It was inevitable for him to go to the extreme.
"Ziyi, you've succeeded. You're now high and mighty, but are you happy?"
Happy?
Ye Ziyi looked at Leng Zhiyuan. The woman's eyes were so beautiful, her clear and watery eyes were mirroring his reflection. What's happiness? He didn't need it.
He nodded, "Yeah, happy."
"Then are you satisfied?"
Satisfied?
"Ha, Zhiyuan, if you can be with me, then I'm satisfied."
Leng Zhiyuan smiled and turned her head to look outside the window.
The luxury car soon stopped. Leng Zhiyuan looked at the strange road and the exquisite house in front of her and asked, "This is... your home?"
"Mm-hmm. Zhiyuan, The rain is so heavy now, you wouldn't mind coming to my place for a drink, right?"
Leng Zhiyuan's eyes shifted. This was like the dragon's lair and the tiger's cave, can she venture in?
She asked with a faint smile, "If I go in, will I be in danger?"
Ye Ziyi's expression was gentle. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if I want to put you in danger, there are so many cameras here. The police will find my house in no time."
"Not necessarily. It's well-known that Ye Si does things meticulously."
Ye Ziyi smiled. He looked at the radiant and enchanting face in front of him and replied gently, "Don't worry. There won't be any danger. How can I bear to do that to you?"
Leng Zhiyuan didn't know if he was hypocritical or not. He masked himself too well, so she couldn't be certain if he had fallen for her.
"Sure, I'll go in then."
She went in gladly.
...
The decoration of the duplex was low-key but wore a luxurious feel. It could be seen that the owner of the house had good taste. Leng Zhiyuan walked in and examined around. Ye Ziyi walked into the kitchen personally, "Zhiyuan, what would you like to drink?"
"Coffee."
"Okay, just wait for a minute."
Seeing that he had rolled up his sleeves and grounded the coffee beans personally to make coffee on the spot, Leng Zhiyuan had to admit that Ye Ziyi was very charming. The kind of charm that exuded from the inside out.
She retracted her gaze and looked at the wall in front of her.
There was a painting hanging on the wall. It seemed to be drawn by some master. In the painting, an old woman sat on a rattan chair.
Leng Zhiyuan took a few glances and was instantly attracted by a piece of jewelry that the old woman wore.
At this moment, Ye Ziyi walked over, "Zhiyuan, coffee."
"Thank you, " Leng Zhiyuan took a sip of coffee. Then praised, "Your brewing skills are not bad. The coffee is very delicious."
Ye Ziyi raised the coffee cup in his hand, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm used to being alone, so I can prepare a little of all kinds of food and drinks. Things like Italian pasta and American dishes can't trip me over. Zhiyuan, do you want to try it?"
"Sure, " Leng Zhiyuan nodded.
"But my food is not something that anyone can taste. Only my future girlfriend can."
Leng Zhiyuan stunned for a moment, then she looked up, "Ye Si, are you... seducing me with food?"
"More or less, " As he spoke, Ye Ziyi's expression became devoted and gentle."Zhiyuan, to be honest, since you and Major General Zhou have separated, have you ever considered me?"
Leng Zhiyuan took a sip of her coffee, "Ziyi, do you like me for real?"
Ye Ziyi's smile did not change, "Yes, I do."
"What do you like about me?"
Ye Ziyi pretended to think for a moment, then lowered his body and leaned closer to Leng Zhiyuan. He whispered, "There haven't been many women in this world whom I like, but you're very special. You have a kind of magic power that makes people want to get closer to you."
His answer was very sincere and not perfunctory at all. Leng Zhiyuan was confused, but she didn't mind. She smiled and asked, "Ziyi, how much do you like me?"
"So much that... I can't lose you."
Can't lose her...
Zhou Yao had said the same thing to her in the past, and now Ye Ziyi also said it. Does their "can't lose" mean the same thing?
Leng Zhiyuan placed the coffee in her hand on the tea table."I got it. I'll think about it. I'll be leaving first, " She turned around and left gracefully.
She left quickly and suddenly. Ye Ziyi looked at the half-done coffee cup on the tea table, then took a sip of the coffee in his hand with satisfaction and elegance. His lips curled into a smile.
...
Leng Zhiyuan did not take the car. It was drizzling outside, and she just walked in the rain. She had very important questions to think about.
She opened the app on her phone and drew a picture from memory: An old woman sitting on a rattan chair, wearing a bracelet that looked like a piece of local jewelry on her wrist.
She had studied psychology. No matter how well-hidden a criminal was, he would still give himself away in daily life. She felt that she had found an important point.
She dialed a number, "Hey, Ah Chen..."
"Yes, Miss..."
"I'll send you a picture. Send someone to investigate the jewelry in the picture. You must find out which local jewelry it belongs to."
"Miss... What have you noticed?"
"Scorpion has been elusive all these years. No one seems to know where his stronghold is."
Ah Chen was very excited, "You found something?"
"I'm not sure yet, but you go investigate first."
"OK!"
Leng Zhiyuan hung up the phone. Her heart was pounding. She had a feeling that she was going to go to the battlefield again.
She had successfully pulled off the thread in the higher-ups. If she also finds Scorpion's nest now, she believed that Scorpion would soon surface. He would have nowhere to hide!
