“Alright, that’s all we can do for now. I hope everything will calm down and pass.” As she said that, Michelle picked up the coffee cup in her hand and took a light sip. However, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
“Alright, don’t worry, Xue ‘er. Everything will work out when it comes to it. Moreover, that fellow had always put her at the center of everything, so if something were to happen, he would definitely take her feelings into consideration. Cheng Qian is also taking care of Bing ‘er. I can see that they love each other very much and trust each other. They won’t really affect their relationship over such a small gossip. ” Ye Changqing also comforted her.
After that, the two of them fell silent and sipped their coffee without saying anything else.
It was already very late at night outside the window. The street lights in the city were slowly lit up, as if they were telling the suffering in the heart of every mortal in this long night.
At the farm several dozen kilometers away, she thought that the man would turn back to show his concern if she stayed for a while longer. To her surprise, after waiting for nearly 20 minutes, there was still no trace of his car on the road outside. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her heart, slowly freezing it.
!!
‘Ziming, are you really not going to bother with me anymore? Do you really have the heart to let me continue to wait here without any hope?” She mumbled to herself once more as she looked at her phone screen, which was as dark as night.
“Pei Pei!” Just as she was mumbling this to herself, the sound of a car’s engine and Ji Ziming’s familiar voice could be heard from the road.
“Ziming!” As the mountain villa was exceptionally quiet, any sound would be heard clearly. When she heard him calling out to her, she immediately stood up and greeted him from a distance. However, the gloominess and disappointment in her eyes had already turned into happiness and gratitude.
He’s back, after all. He didn’t go back on his word. With this thought in mind, she quickly strode toward the car that was waiting for him at the intersection.
The moment he alighted from the car, he quickly pushed the door open and hugged the woman in front of him. His voice was filled with guilt.”Pei Pei, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have left you behind. Are you scared to be here alone?”
Her head was buried in his embrace, and even though her eyes were full of tears, her lips still curled into a smile when he turned around.””I’m not afraid. I knew you’d come back for me. I was too stubborn, that’s why I made you leave in anger. Ziming, just promise me, okay? This time, just relax and let me complete senior Changqing’s gift with this designer. “As you know, senior Changqing took care of me when I was still working at LV group. Now that he and Xue ‘er are finally together, we can all see the hardships they’ve gone through. So, I don’t want to end this rashly, and I can see that he really values it. I don’t want to disappoint him. ”
His heart softened when he heard her pleading voice.
He caressed her thin shoulders and said,””Alright, alright, I’ll agree to everything. You don’t know how scared I was when I was driving just now. I really regret walking away just now. On the way back, I kept thinking that if something happened to you on the way back, I definitely wouldn’t be able to forgive myself!”
He hugged her even tighter after saying that.
She smiled lightly.”Ziming, I don’t blame you. I’ve always thought that you’d come back to find me. Look, aren’t you back?”
“Yeah, you’ve been waiting for so long. Are you cold and hungry?” Hearing that she was not reproaching him, he released her and gently asked,””It’s all my fault. Let’s go. I’ll take you out to eat now. We’ll go home after we eat.”
She diligently nodded her head and replied with a smile,””Yes, yes. I’m really a little hungry. Didn’t you say that you’ve prepared delicious food for me here? Then hurry up and bring me there. ”
With the knot in their hearts untied, the two of them held hands and walked towards the cafeteria in the villa with light steps.
PEI GE did not know that there was such a high-end and elegant restaurant behind the villa, deep in the bamboo forest. Thus, the two of them enjoyed a romantic candlelight dinner there. Only then did he return home in satisfaction.
The moment he reached home, he received a call from his Secretary, Linda, informing him that Luo Yi had already confirmed her flight back to China and even told him when it would land at A city’s airport.
He hung up the phone and thought of how to explain it to her when he saw her taking a shower in the bathroom.
“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly pull such a long face?” She walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair dried with a towel and walked over to ask him this with concern when she saw him sitting at the head of the bed in a daze.
He forced a smile and took the towel from her. As he helped her dry her hair, he gently replied,””Pei Pei, have you been in contact with Luo Yi recently?”
She was first shocked, but then she calmly replied,””MMM…Haven’t I been overseas with you recently? She only came back these two days, and I was busy dealing with senior brother Changqing’s gift, so I didn’t have time to contact her. He wondered how she was doing recently. Oh, right. Did something happen to her?”
The man’s heart seemed to relax when he heard her take the initiative to ask about her current situation. He dried her hair more carefully and gently replied,””Oh, it’s like this, I just got a call from Linda saying that Luo Yi is looking for me. She’ll be back in city A tomorrow. I’m thinking that since we’ve received so much help from her before, if she comes back, we should go and take care of her. After all, she’s our good friend and her family isn’t in the country. What do you think?”
He emphasized the word ‘good friend’ and even probed her, afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Feeling that he was being too narrow-minded, she pouted unhappily and replied,””Ziming, why are you asking me this? Do you think I won’t agree to Luo Yi coming back to contact us?”
