"I’m done eating."
Ye Mingi said obediently, her gaze soft as she looked at Jin Chenye.
When he ca to her, wanting to pretend to be her boyfriend, Ye Mingi was indeed surprised.
Her first reaction was shock, her second was an indescribable awkwardness and embarrassnt.
She never knew that Jin Chenye knew about so many things, yet always acted as if he didn’t.
At that ti, she was probably quite embarrassed, Ye Mingi didn’t even dare to et his eyes, fearing to see any trace of disdain.
In the end, he simply told her calmly that everyone has a past, whether they want to accept it or not, it’s already in the past.
If you can let go, you can start anew; otherwise, being entangled forever will only pull you deeper.
Ye Mingi rembered she just stared at him blankly, watched him walk up to her and give her a hug.
"Mingi, there are still many people in this world who care about you. For them, you should learn to be brave."
He didn’t say it outright, but she knew.
Besides Su Yiru, it was probably only Qin Youxuan who would worry about her like this.
Plus, with his relationship with Qin Youxuan...
Ye Mingi was dazed for a few seconds and then gently nodded.
Although she didn’t know if it would help, just like he said, you’ll never know until you try.
Since that day, they’ve been together.
Every day, going to and from work, Jin Chenye would pick her up and drop her off, not giving her a chance to be alone.
Once she returned to the Ye Family villa, Ye Mingi would turn off her phone.
Just like that, things were peaceful for about ten days.
Yu Xiuzhun seed to have vanished from her life, while Jin Chenye beca the most important part of it.
They went to work together each day and left together; he’d drop her off, and she’d accompany him for dinner.
In everyone’s eyes, they were a perfect couple.
But Ye Mingi knew, this man who took care of her in every way didn’t have her in his heart.
Without him saying, she could understand from his eyes.
To him, she was probably just a younger sister who needed care.
Because Qin Youxuan had asked, he was just doing a favor.
Even so, Ye Mingi was still grateful.
Nobody understood more than she did, how secure she had felt in those ten days.
No longer panicking at a phone ring, nor fearing that Yu Xiuzhun might suddenly appear beside her when she went out alone, sweeping her away unprepared.
There was soone by her side who knew all she went through, but only felt pity, not disdain.
It felt like she had found redemption, no longer alone or afraid.
"You’re not good with alcohol, just take a glass of champagne, I’ll introduce you to so of the key partners of the Ye Group." Jin Chenye took her hand and led her to the drinks area.
He picked up a glass of champagne and handed it to Ye Mingi, then took a glass of red wine for himself.
Ye Mingi was very obedient; Jin Chenye didn’t let her drink much, and she didn’t dare indulge.
Apart from sipping a little when toasting with others, she just held her glass and followed Jin Chenye through the crowd.
"Watch out!"
Ye Mingi was slightly distracted when soone almost bumped into her.
Jin Chenye’s eyes darkened, and he quickly pulled her to his side.
"Sorry, I was too careless." Ye Mingi snapped back and apologized imdiately.
"What were you thinking about, so lost in thought that you didn’t even notice people?" Jin Chenye asked softly, and as he glanced down, he realized their posture was sowhat intimate and quickly let go.
