After Ye Huan left, Su Qingqing took several deep breaths but still couldn’t suppress the grievance in her heart.
No reply to text ssages.
No reply to WeChat ssages.
No answer to phone calls.
Every ti she waited for him to reply, waited for him to return calls, it was a whole night of waiting.
The result was always the sa.
Disappointnt!
Even knowing that Ye Huan had a wife and had no reason to respond to her ssages, Su Qingqing couldn’t help feeling extrely aggrieved.
The words "have so self-respect" were like a lit fuse, almost setting off the explosive barrel of emotions Su Qingqing was harboring!
She clung to him, called him, texted him, sent him WeChat ssages, yet he saw it as her lacking self-respect?
Months of accumulated grievance nearly made her break down and cry.
But she ultimately held it in.
Enduring the pain in her ankle, she crawled out of bed and painfully changed clothes.
It was still the sa smart and energetic black OL uniform, paired with ultra-thin stockings.
She walked out of the room.
Seeing that Ye Huan had not left yet, she showed no expression, coldly glanced at him, and proceeded to the hallway to change her shoes.
"Your foot is injured, you can’t wear high heels," Ye Huan reminded helplessly from the sofa.
"Get lost!"
Su Qingqing coldly spat out a word, took a sharp breath while putting on black high heels, and then said coldly, "Get out."
Having no choice, Ye Huan sighed, got up, and moved to the hallway.
Attempting to support her, he was pushed away.
"Did I tell you to touch ?" Su Qingqing said, pushing Ye Huan away with a cold face.
This change was what Ye Huan wanted to see.
Ye Huan didn’t want to have any emotional entanglent with Su Qingqing, as it would be unfair to Zhang Huimin.
But... Su Qingqing’s ankle injury was severe!
Frowning, Ye Huan reminded her, "This is the fifth floor. Your sprained ankle hasn’t healed yet, and going down the stairs like this could make the injury worse..."
"Why do you care? Are you my boss or sothing?"
Su Qingqing cursed and then began the difficult task of walking down the stairs.
For a full fifteen minutes.
Her face turned as pale as paper from enduring the pain, and she finally reached the first floor.
Ye Huan was extrely helpless and had tried several tis to help her, but each ti she swore at him until he backed off.
Su Qingqing called a taxi, got in, and left.
Watching the departing taxi, Ye Huan couldn’t help but let out another sigh.
It seed like...his words were too harsh earlier.
But perhaps it was better this way, a clean break rather than a tangled ss, right?
...
Celestial Sea City, State Guest Hotel.
A Hongqi sedan parked at the front entrance of the hotel.
A man with a stern brow and majestic eyes, exuding a commanding presence, got out of the car.
He was dressed in a crisp military uniform, bearing three golden stars on his shoulders!
Three-star General!
As he stepped out, over a hundred special service soldiers imdiately stood at attention and saluted with a standard military salute, loud enough to pierce the sky, "Good day, Director!"
Ye Tiance returned the salute and then, accompanied by Wuling Fei, walked directly into the hotel.
"I heard that the young man nad Ye Huan saved Qiqing again?" Ye Tiance asked with calm deanor, hands clasped behind his back.
"Yes, when Shen Xu attempted to shoot the young lady at noon, he was the one who subdued Shen Xu."
"He was at the restaurant as a representative of Tianyun International, negotiating a cooperation with Shen Xu’s Leke Group?"
"Yes, that’s correct," Wuling Fei nodded in response.
"Don’t you think it’s quite the coincidence?"
"Too much of a coincidence..." Wuling Fei’s face tensed slightly, "Director, are you suggesting he orchestrated the situation to win the young lady’s favor?"
"I don’t think anyone would go to such lengths for such a reason," Ye Tiance shook his head slowly, "Besides, if that was his goal, he would have agreed when Qiqing proposed to him at the banquet. His goal would have been achieved, why take unnecessary actions?"
Wuling Fei nodded in agreent, seeing the sense in his words.
"How’s the investigation on his background going?"
Ye Tiance’s question brought imdiate embarrassnt to Wuling Fei, "Director, this...you might need to check it yourself?"
"What’s the situation?"
"We don’t have the authority to access his files; his records are...SSS-level!"
SSS-level.
Ye Tiance stopped in his tracks, frowning tightly.
It’s important to note that he built the Special Service Bureau himself, and only after becoming its Director were his records upgraded to SSS-level.
And SSS-level, without exception.
Are the pillars of Huaxia.
"Interesting."
Ye Tiance said with interest.
anwhile, the two arrived at the entrance of the presidential suite.
Ye Tiance knocked on the door.
After receiving an invitation to enter from Ye Qiqing, he pushed the door open and entered.
Ye Qiqing sat in the middle of the bed, her eyes sunken, bloodshot, and her face showed weariness.
One might think she had beco a living corpse.
Seeing her like this made Ye Tiance furious.
"What, aren’t you known in the Capital’s upper circle as a notorious lady? Aren’t you ashad to be like this over a man?" Ye Tiance asked with a dark face.
Ye Qiqing: "..."
"I’m proud!" After a brief silence, Ye Qiqing snorted coldly, her cheeks slightly red.
Ye Tiance’s face darkened even more, "Didn’t you say you’d never fall for a man? Changed your tune so quickly?"
"You don’t get it, this man is different!"
"He’s not like ordinary n, you know, otherwise, how could I fall for him?"
"It’s just a pity... he has a wife, and he’s also very loyal."
Ye Qiqing’s mood fell again as she spoke.
Unbeknownst to her, the more she spoke like this, the more her father, Ye Tiance, felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
Bitterness to the extre!
Bitterness turned to ’hatred’!
It’s a pity he has a wife and is loyal?
Doesn’t that an if Ye Huan were not loyal, Ye Qiqing would consider being the other woman?
Ye Tiance nearly spat out the tea in his mouth, tightly crumpling the disposable cup in his hand, he gritted his teeth, "I will et this Ye Huan tomorrow to see what qualities he possesses to enchant my daughter, Ye Tiance, so much."
"Don’t do anything reckless!" Ye Qiqing, like a startled rabbit, sprang up from the bed, looking at Ye Tiance with wary eyes.
The proverb about daughters being hard to keep at ho struck Ye Tiance for the first ti, his face blackened like Bao Zheng’s.
"Return to the Capital City tomorrow!" Ye Tiance ordered, leaving no room for discussion in his tone.
"I won’t go back." Ye Qiqing’s reply was crisp.
"Not going back? The banquet is over, why not? Don’t tell you still have special feelings for that married man." Ye Tiance’s tone turned harsh.
Ye Qiqing was rendered speechless.
Indeed, by the schedule, she should have returned already.
But she couldn’t help feeling a bit ’reluctant’ to leave Ye Huan.
But what’s the use of being reluctant?
Alas, she could only lant eting the right person too late.
"The situation in Celestial Sea is dangerous. You must return to the Capital City tomorrow, or I’ll break your legs," Ye Tiance added coldly.
With no options left, Ye Qiqing helplessly shrugged, "Fine, I’ll go back tomorrow."
At that point, she added, "But you have to promise you won’t cause trouble for Ye Huan, or else I won’t let it go."
"You..."
Ye Tiance was exasperated, but he nodded.
Then, he turned and left.
Could that young man nad Ye Huan truly possess such charm!?
The more Ye Qiqing defended Ye Huan, the more determined Ye Tiance beca to et the young man.
"Whose pig is this that has enchanted the prized cabbage I’ve nurtured for twenty years..." Ye Tiance muttered to himself as he left the presidential suite.
"Director, what did you... what did you say?"
At the door, Wuling Fei couldn’t believe her ears, her mouth twitching.
Ye Tiance’s old face flushed, and he replied, "You heard wrong. I ant to say, make sure you return to the Capital tomorrow with Qiqing. She agreed to go back."
"Oh, okay." Wuling Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Celestial Sea was indeed too dangerous.
Once back in the Capital City, Ye Qiqing would be completely safe.
But...
Did she really mishear sothing about pigs and cabbages?
Wuling Fei stared at Ye Tiance’s departing figure, her eyes wide open.
Could the renowned General Ye Tiance, who once led an army to subdue the Monkey Nation at a young age and later held imnse authority, feared by military forces worldwide, really utter such vulgar words?
No way!
Must have misheard!
Yes, definitely misheard!
If not, then she must have been hallucinating!
Convinced, Wuling Fei nodded solemnly.
