Chapter 411: Heart-to-heart Talk Between Brothers

"Zi Yang."

If it was in the past, Gu Ziyang would have rushed over to hug Gu Zimo like the warm sunlight. At the very least, they would have patted each other’s shoulders to show their intimacy.

Now, they were within reach, but it was as if there was an uncrossable ditch.

He could no longer do as he pleased like before.

"You’ve lost a lot of weight. Haven’t you been eating well recently?"

The two of them sat down in the living room and Gu Ziyang personally made tea for Gu Shimo.

After suffering the heavy blow of losing his parents, the sunny, handsome, and carefree youth had an additional layer of melancholy and decadence.

His face had obviously lost weight. His originally toot face was now sunken on both sides.

"No appetite."

Gu Ziyang sat diagonally across from Gu Shimo. He did not even dare to look Gu Shimo in the eye, and his fingers were unconsciously scratching each other.

"People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. How can we not eat properly?"

After all, they were brothers. Seeing him like this, Gu Shimo could not bear it.

"What’s going on between you and Leng Xiaoduan? Do you like her?"

Gu Ziyang knew that he would not come to visit him for no reason.

"Brother, thank you for your concern." Correct content is on NovelFire

Gu Ziyang summoned his courage and looked at Gu Shimo.

"I... I’ve always liked Wanwan. You should know that. I once thought that she was the only girl I would like in my entire life and that I would never fall in love with other girls. Leng Xiaoduan..."

At this point, he paused for a moment, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"Maybe it’s because she’s seen my most miserable side. I don’t have to hide anything in front of her. At first, I didn’t expect to have a good impression of her one day. It was only yesterday that I was completely sure of my feelings. I admit that I like her, but I also know that it’s impossible between us."

He smiled bitterly.

"If you know it’s impossible, why did you stay at her house all night last night? In the end, they didn’t get along?"

Gu Shimo and Leng Xiao were on the same side on this matter.

"I was too greedy."

Leng Xiaoduan had agreed to be the female lead in his micro movie. She had told him not to leave, so he really could not bear to leave.

He was thinking that he would indulge himself just this once. View the correct content at NovelFire.

"Then what do you plan to do next? Back then, Leng Xiao tried to assassinate me."

Gu Ziyang held his head in pain.

It was too difficult. It was too cruel for him to make such a decision.

His world had long collapsed, and he had nothing left.

Leng Xiaoduan was his only hope.

He couldn’t even have this last hope?

"I’m not afraid of Leng Xiao killing me. If he wants my life, I can give it to him at any time."

Gu Ziyang adjusted his thoughts and calmed himself down.

"I just don’t want to see their relationship worsen because of me. Perhaps, I really shouldn’t have appeared in front of Xiao Duan. I’m afraid that I’ll only bring her sadness and pain."

"It’s good that you can understand. Ziyang, you’ve really grown up now. You know how to take responsibility." Men were not difficult, so how could they be called difficult (men)?"

Gu Ziyang replied with a long sigh.

Gu Shimo changed the topic and said," By the way, I’ve already found some clues about Zhao Qinlan."

"You have news of her?"

Gu Ziyang was stunned.

A moment later, he asked stiffly.

At the mention of Zhao Qinlan, the atmosphere changed.

Gu Shimo saw his stiffness.

His tone was cold." There are some clues, but there’s no definite news yet. We’re investigating, but it should be soon."

Last time, Ye Qingwan had told him that Xue Yunfei had once flaunted in front of her, saying that she had tipped Zhao Qinlan off.

With the idea of "it’s better to believe it than not"

 

Chapter 412: Checking Call Records

Gu Shimo immediately used his connections to check on the express deliveries sent to the capital by the major express delivery companies in South City that day.

They did find out that the recipient was Zhao Qinlan, but the people in the capital had confirmed that it was not the Zhao Qinlan they were looking for.

He had also checked the sender’s name and phone number, but he couldn’t find any records of her mailing.

He did not know if Xue Yunfei was trying to confuse him, or if she was using an alias, but in short, the investigation was fruitless.

——

At noon, Ye Qingwan received a call from Yang Feng, asking if he wanted to have a meal together since he had arrived in South City. NovelFire

"It’s a pleasure to have friends coming from afar."

Ye Qingwan was about to say that she was looking for him when he came knocking on her door." Since you’re in South City, of course I have to be the host.""

She immediately called 1587 to make a reservation and asked Gu Feng to drive her there.

The car stopped at the entrance. Yang Feng was elegant and waited there to open the door for her.

This made Gu Feng, who had already gotten out of the driver’s seat and was about to open the car door, feel empty.

"Little Feng Feng, you want to come too?"

Yang Feng smiled brightly at Gu Feng, revealing his white teeth.

Gu Feng, on the other hand, felt his hair stand on end because of the way he addressed him.

"Miss Wanwan, I’ll park the car. Call me when you’re done here. I’ll pick you up right away."

He didn’t dare to do anything to Yang Feng, so he pretended not to hear anything and said respectfully to Ye Qingwan.

Seeing Gu Feng get into the car and drive away, Yang Feng smiled even more. View the correct content at NovelFire)

"Your bodyguard is interesting."

"You’re still talking."

Ye Qingwan was speechless. She didn’t understand why Yang Feng would tease Gu Feng every time he saw him.

"Little Wind?"

Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but shiver.

"Speaking of which, aren’t you also a small peak?"

Yang Feng rolled his eyes and looked thoughtful.

"Oh... We both have the word Feng in our names. Although we have the same pronunciation and different characters, it’s also a kind of fate."

"Why did you emphasize that you have fate with Gu Feng?"

"Hehe."

The two of them greeted each other and entered the private room. They ordered and ate.

"This is a gift."

Yang Feng handed her a huge paper bag.

Ye Qingwan thanked him and put the gift aside.

"By the way, if I want to check Xue Yunfei’s recent call records, can you help me?"

"Logically speaking, due to the principle of customer privacy and confidentiality, unless it’s the phone owner himself or the public security law requires evidence, ordinary people can’t get the call records of others. However, I’ll personally go back to the capital tomorrow and help you secretly retrieve the records."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Yang Feng suddenly reacted.

He narrowed his eyes at Ye Qingwan." Wanwan, you treated me to a meal so enthusiastically just for this purpose?"

".."

Ye Qingwan laughed dryly and didn’t answer.

——

The meal lasted for nearly two hours, and everyone was happy.

It was almost three o’clock when she returned to the company.

"Sister Qingwan, I want to take a leave of absence later and get off work an hour early."

Leng Xiaoduan had been silent since he came to the company today. Ye Qingwan had asked her to go out for dinner, but Leng Xiaoduan said that he had no appetite.

It was obvious that what happened this morning had given her a huge blow.

Even now, he had yet to recover.

Initially, Ye Qingwan had told her not to come to work today and to give herself a break.

Leng Xiaoduan insisted on coming to work, saying that he still had some unfinished business.

Ye Qingwan guessed that she was trying to numb herself with work again so that she wouldn’t be stuck in her previous emotions, so she let her be.

"Okay, if you have something to do, go ahead."

She didn’t ask Leng Xiaoduan what he was going to do and directly approved his leave.

"Did you not eat lunch? I have some biscuits that Yang Feng gave me. I’ll give you a box."

Ye Qingwan took out a box of biscuits from the bag, but when she saw the words " White Lovers " on the box, she put it back.

"Ah, I forgot that I opened it here. Don’t mind me."

As he spoke, he handed her the half-filled box of biscuits that he had just opened and shared with his friends.

"Handmade biscuits won’t be very sweet. You can eat a few more."

"Thank you, Sister Qing Wan. I’ll bring it over to my parents for a feast. Sister Qing Wan, you don’t mind, right?"

 

Chapter 413: Encounter in the Cemetery

Ye Qingwan smiled and said," Do as you please."

So she was going to visit her parents.

There was still an hour left before work ended. Leng Xiaoduan finished his work and packed his things. After informing Ye Qingwan, he left the office.

She went to the flower shop outside to buy a bouquet of flowers and booked a car online to go straight to her parents ’cemetery.

When she felt wronged and could not express her feelings, the only place she could think of was her parents ’grave.

However, when she arrived at her parents ’cemetery, she realized that Gu Ziyang was also there.

Gu Ziyang also bought two large white chrysanthemums and lit them up. He also brought fruits and beer.

Green smoke curled up. Judging from the length of the smoke, he had been here for a while.

"Little Duan?"

"Gu Ziyang? Why are you here?"

Before he could get close, Leng Xiaoduan noticed him and stopped in his tracks.

Both of them were surprised.

There was another emotion lingering in his heart.

"I, I happen to have nothing to do today, so I thought I should come and pay my respects to Uncle and Auntie."

"You shouldn’t have come. If my brother sees you, you’ll be in big trouble again."

Gu Ziyang smiled bitterly." I’m not afraid of being beaten by him. I didn’t think about what happened last night and caused your brother to misunderstand you today. I’m sorry."

Leng Xiaoduan pursed his lips tightly and did not say anything.

What was the point of saying all this now?

Gu Ziyang took a deep look at her and stepped aside.

"Then I’ll leave first. You do it!"

Leng Xiaoduan nodded and walked over slowly.

Gu Ziyang followed her to her parents ’grave reluctantly. He turned around and was about to leave when he heard Leng Xiaoduan calling him.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Ziyang’s heart skipped a beat.

"What is it?"

He turned around immediately.

Leng Xiaoduan coughed lightly.

"Take these offerings away. I can’t even put it here."

Gu Ziyang had brought too many offerings, filling up the empty space in front of the tombstone. There was no place for Leng Xiaoduan’s things. freeNovelFire.c o(m)

"If you don’t mind, you can put it away and take it home to eat."

Originally, the offerings were just for display and had to be brought back.

Especially Leng Xiaoduan, who was used to being poor since he was young. He would never let them go to waste.

"Take it back yourself."

Leng Xiaoduan gathered all the offerings and put them into a bag. He held them in his hand and stretched them out in his direction.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that he didn’t move, she urged him again.

He sighed and had no choice but to walk back to her and reach out to take the bag from her.

She didn’t know if he was distracted or what, but he grabbed the bag in her hand along with her hand.

She obviously flinched, but she did not struggle.

Out of the blue, he grabbed her hand.

"Let go!"

She seemed to have reacted in an instant. Her face was half flushed and her tone was angry.

"Oh, I’m sorry." NovelFire

He quickly let go of his hand in embarrassment.

The warm and delicate touch still lingered on her fingertips, and her heart felt like it had disappeared.

"You can leave now."

She ordered him to leave.

He retracted his hands and crossed them, seemingly a little uneasy.

"Alright, I’ll leave now." He nodded in agreement.

Although he was reluctant to leave, he had no reason to stay.

Seeing that his figure was getting further and further away, Leng Xiaoduan knelt down weakly and another line of tears flowed down.

Leng Xiaoduan stayed in front of his parents ’grave for two hours until the sky turned dark. He had no choice but to get up and leave.

However, she had been sitting on her knees for a long time. Coupled with the fact that she had not eaten for the entire day, her blood sugar level was already low. All of a sudden, her legs went weak and she fell back down with a thud.

 

Chapter 414: Carrying Her Down the Mountain

After letting her legs get used to it for a while, Leng Xiaoduan slowly stood up. There were no street lights on the mountain, so she turned on the flashlight on her phone and walked down the mountain slowly. View the correct content at NovelFire

At the corner of a large slope, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the side.

"Little Duan!"

"Oh my god!"

In the eerie cemetery, Leng Xiaoduan was caught off guard. She was so frightened that her phone and the things in her hands fell to the ground with a crash. She twisted her ankle and fell to the ground.

A pair of thin but strong arms reached over and held her firmly before she fell.

"Gu...Gu Ziyang?"

After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Leng Xiaoduan recognized Gu Ziyang.

"It’s me."

"Why are you still here?"

She was still in shock and remembered that she was scared half to death just now. She was shocked and angry, completely forgetting that he was still holding him. She reached out and hit him hard.

"Why are you scaring me? You scared me to death, you know that? Who told you to scare me! Who told you to scare me!"

Her fists landed on his body, but he didn’t feel any pain. Instead, he felt a layer of sweetness in his heart.

When she was done, she suddenly realized that the position between the two of them was too ambiguous. Correct content is on NovelFire

She pushed him away." Let go of me!"

"Good!"

Gu Ziyang listened to her and slowly let go.

"I’ll go and pick up the things for you."

He let go of her and made sure that she was standing firmly. Then, he pointed at the place where the phone was shining. He helped her pick up the phone first, then picked up the other things that could be seen and put them into the bag.

"The phone screen is broken."

He returned the phone to her.

"I can get a new one." She took the phone and did not mind.

"You’ve been here all this time. Why didn’t you leave?"

"Because I suddenly remembered that there’s something very important that I haven’t confirmed with you."

"What is it?"

"It’s dark and the mountain road is not easy to walk on. Let’s go down the mountain and talk."Gu Ziyang said.

"You walk in front, I’ll show you the way."

The cemetery was built on a hill, and there were gusts of cold wind at night. There were also the cries of night owls, which sounded a little creepy.

"Alright."

Just as she was about to step forward, she gasped.

"What’s wrong?"

"I think I sprained my ankle."

A thin but persistent back appeared in front of her.

"I’ll carry you."

"You don’t have to carry me. I’ll walk down slowly by myself."

"There’s no one else here. No one will know."

"I already said there’s no need...Ah!"

She stubbornly wanted to move forward on her own, but there was a sharp pain in her ankle.

" You, don’t try to be brave. Come up quickly.""

Gu Ziyang was also very stubborn. "I was the one who scared you just now and caused you to sprain your ankle. I should be responsible for you."

"Gululu."

At this moment, Leng Xiaoduan’s stomach rumbled again.

"Are you hungry? Should he eat something to fill his stomach first and find a place to have a good meal when he reached the city?"

Leng Xiaoduan felt dizzy. She almost lost her balance due to her low blood sugar. She subconsciously pounced forward and laid on Gu Ziyang’s back.

Gu Ziyang almost staggered. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly stood up with a stake to stabilize himself.

He pushed his right hand against the ground and stood up steadily with her on his back.

Leng Xiaoduan couldn’t care about anything else right now. He quickly took out a biscuit from the bag, tore off the wrapping paper, and stuffed it into his mouth.

She wasn’t afraid of hunger, but she didn’t feel good about low blood sugar.

After eating a few biscuits, she felt a little better.

Gu Ziyang carried her steadily and walked down the mountain slowly.

"Gululu."

Gu Ziyang’s stomach was also singing the empty city stratagem.

He had not eaten all the rice he had today. The aroma of the biscuits that Leng Xiaoduan was eating had triggered the protest of his internal organs.

Leng Xiaoduan took out a biscuit, tore the wrapping paper dry, and groped around to feed it to his mouth.

 

Chapter 415: Boyfriend and Girlfriend

She said softly," You should eat a little too."

"Alright."

Gu Ziyang opened his mouth and ate the biscuit that she fed him.

His lips accidentally touched her fingers, and an electric current surged through them. Both of them froze.

He finished a biscuit.

Gu Ziyang seemed to have increased his strength a little. He broke the silence between the two of them and asked," Are these White Lovers ’Cookie?"

"Ah?"

Leng Xiaoduan didn’t understand.

"This biscuit should be a White Lovers Cookie from Hokkaido, right?"

He sent her up and walked forward with a heavy load. When he spoke, it was still a little strenuous.

"Do you know the meaning of white lovers?"

".. He did not know. Talk less and save some energy."

A flashlight shone in front of him, causing Gu Ziyang to close his eyes.

"Are you the owner of the car with the license plate number ending with 3377?"

It turned out that it was the local cemetery manager. Just as he was about to close the gate, he realized that there was a car parked in the parking lot.

It was already dark, but there were still people who had not left?

He was afraid that something had happened to the grave-sweepers, so he quickly went up the mountain to look for them.

"It’s me."

Gu Ziyang replied. View the correct content at NovelFire)

The manager quickly turned the flashlight to the side. He was a little glad and a little resentful as he said,

"I said, what’s going on with you guys? The grave-sweeping meant that there were mosquitoes everywhere on the mountain. It was not romantic at all to have a relationship in a cemetery."

Gu Ziyang was not in a position to explain himself. He was carrying Leng Xiaoduan on his back, so it was difficult for him to speak.

Just as he was about to speak, Leng Xiaoduan took the initiative to explain," I’m sorry for delaying the time."

He was afraid that this person would let his imagination run wild again, so he added.

"Because I accidentally twisted my ankle, so..."

"I see. I thought it was a girlfriend acting coquettishly with her boyfriend."

After finding the person, the manager was relieved and had the mood to tease him.

"Not bad, young man. It’s dark. Let me show you the way."

Gu Ziyang carried Leng Xiaoduan on his back and used his phone to illuminate the road.

Leng Xiaoduan was carrying two bags of offerings in his hands, so it was not convenient for him to take out his phone.

Gu Ziyang had no choice but to turn on the flashlight on his phone and put it into the plastic bag that contained the fruits. He walked forward under the light.

Gu Ziyang thanked her," Thank you so much."

Not only because the other party was helping to show the way, but also because the other party had said that he and Leng Xiao Duan were boyfriend and girlfriend. Leng Xiao Duan did not refute.

When they reached the parking lot, Gu Ziyang gently put Leng Xiaoduan down.

The night wind was cold. She had been able to use Gu Ziyang’s body temperature to warm herself up. Now that they were separated, Leng Xiaoduan couldn’t help but sneeze.

"Little Duan, are you alright?" Gu Ziyang asked worriedly.

"I’m fine. Let’s hurry up and leave."Leng Xiaoduan shook his head.

"Wait for me in the car for a while. I’ll be right back."

Gu Ziyang unlocked the car door and said quickly as he watched her get into the passenger seat.

Leng Xiaoduan was about to speak when Gu Ziyang turned around and ran away like a gust of wind.

After a while, Gu Ziyang came back in a hurry.

At the same time, two disposable paper cups and a thermos bottle appeared in his hands.

"It’s already autumn, and it’s on the mountain. The wind is strong at night, so you probably caught a cold. I bought a bottle of hot water from the manager. Have some."

As he spoke, he opened the cork of the thermos bottle, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to her.

As he was afraid that she would get scalded, he put the two disposable cups together and did not take them off separately.

Leng Xiaoduan had just cried in front of his parents ’grave and had eaten a few biscuits to fill his stomach. He was thirsty and Gu Ziyang had brought him hot water just in time.

"Thank you."

She didn’t act pretentious. She reached out to take it and thanked him.

Gu Ziyang saw that she had accepted it readily. He turned around slightly and drank some water with his back to her. A gratified smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

He opened the trunk, took out a bottle of mineral water, and gulped it down.

He was also extremely thirsty.

On the way back to the city.

The atmosphere in the car was strange.

"Does your foot still hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital to have a look and get a look?"

In the end, Gu Ziyang broke the silence first.

"It’s just a sprain. It’s okay. I’ll go back and apply it on my face."Leng Xiaoduan said.

"Oh, I see. Then, what about dinner? What do you want to eat?"

"I’m not hungry. I just want to go home and sleep."

After eating the biscuits and drinking a glass of water, Leng Xiaoduan was already full.

"Then...Should I send you home?"

"Sorry to trouble you."

".."

Nothing happened along the way.

An hour later, when the car passed by a hotel, Leng Xiaoduan suddenly said,"

"Stop here for a while."

 

Chapter 416: Hotel Room

"??"

Gu Ziyang slammed on the brakes and turned to look at the brightly lit hotel lobby in front of him.

"Are you planning to stay in a hotel tonight?"

"Yes."

Leng Xiaoduan had just thought of this.

The old neighborhood she rented was on the sixth floor and there was no elevator. She couldn’t possibly jump home on one foot, right?

"Thank you for sending me back."

She opened the car door and was about to get out when she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at him.

" Didn’t you say that you wanted to confirm something with me?" she asked."

"Ah, oh, it’s a good thing."

Gu Ziyang was distracted and could not keep up with her thoughts.

"I wanted to ask you if you agreed to be the female lead in my micro movie."

Last night, she should have agreed, right?

However, he wasn’t confident enough. In addition, something unpleasant had happened today. He needed to confirm it again. NovelFire

"The selection for the film festival is next month. You probably don’t have enough time, right? Moreover, I sprained my ankle again. Perhaps this is fate?"

She stared at him, her words hinting at something.

"If this is God’s will, it’s just preventing me from participating in this year’s selection."

Gu Ziyang looked straight at her, as if he had made up his mind.

"I still have next year, the year after that, the year after that, and the year after that..."

His heart trembled for a moment.

Leng Xiaoduan couldn’t take it and looked away first.

"This is your own matter. You can decide for yourself!"

He couldn’t be so indecisive anymore.

"Today, I promised my brother that I would go on a blind date."

She raised her eyes and looked at him again. She didn’t avoid him. She was serious and serious.

——

Ye Qingwan had just sent the leaf Xi to the bathroom to take a shower when she received a call from Gu Ziyang.

Ye Zixi had originally said that he would wait for his father to come back to shower together, but Gu Shimo had to attend a social gathering, so Ye Qingwan did not let him wait.

"Wanwan?"

"Brother Ziyang."

"It’s like this, Wanwan. I have something to ask of you. I can only look for you for this matter."

"What is it?"

Gu Ziyang then told her about the incident where he accidentally met Leng Xiaoduan when he went to sweep the grave. Of course, he left out the details.

"She accidentally sprained her ankle. As you know, the old neighborhood she lives in doesn’t have an elevator, so she went to the hotel to stay tonight. Why don’t you help her send a change of clothes?"

"Alright, I understand."

Ye Qingwan was also conflicted. She sympathized with them, but she couldn’t encourage them to be together.

"Brother Ziyang, I heard about what happened last night. There’s something I don’t know if I should say. Xiao Duan has really suffered too much."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Ye Qingwan thought that Gu Ziyang didn’t want to talk to her and was about to hang up.

Gu Ziyang’s voice rang out again.

"Actually, even if you don’t say it, I know. Although I have nothing now, I still have self-awareness."

"Brother Ziyang..."

"I’m fine, Wanwan. I’ll leave Little Duan to you."

After the call ended, Ye Qingyu immediately called Leng Xiaoduan.

"Little Duan, I heard that you’re staying in a hotel? I’ll go pick you up. Can you stay at my house tonight?"

"No need, Sister Qing Wan."

Leng Xiaoduan’s voice sounded alright. It did not sound as heavy as she had imagined.

"The room charge isn’t refundable. Isn’t it a waste? It’s rare for me to stay in a hotel, and it feels good."

"Then I’ll send you a change of clothes? I bought a new one last time, but I haven’t worn it yet."

The two of them had similar figures, so they could really wear each other’s clothes.

"You still have to take care of Zixi at night, so there’s no need to trouble yourself."

"It’s fine. I’ll let him watch cartoons later. Wait for me, I’ll be right there."

She quickly fished Zixi out of the water, dried herself, and changed into her pajamas.

"Zixi, I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon. Can you watch some books or TV?"

"Good, Mama,"

Ye Zixi answered obediently.

Ye Qingwan kissed his soft cheek and promised him again,

"Mommy will be back soon."

After comforting Zi Xi, Ye Qingwan hurried back to her room, tidied up a change of clothes, and hurried downstairs.

 

Chapter 417: Mr. Gu Only Wants to Get Married

Gu Feng drove Ye Qingwan to Leng Xiaoduan’s hotel.

She found the room where Leng Xiaoduan was. Ye Qingwan rang the doorbell and shouted,"Little Duan!""

Leng Xiaoduan’s voice came from inside."

Then, he landed on one foot and jumped...

Leng Xiaoduan looked outside through the peephole. After confirming that it was Ye Qingwan, he opened the door and let her in.

"I’m sorry to trouble you to come over so late at night."

"Why are you treating me like an outsider? Aren’t we sisters?"

Ye Qingwan looked at her expression carefully. Compared to the day, she seemed to have recovered a little.

"Brother Ziyang told me you were here."

"I guessed it."

Leng Xiaoduan was momentarily disappointed.

Soon, she pulled herself together and drove away the negative emotions.

"I’ve already made it very clear to him today."

Part of the reason for her ambiguous relationship with Gu Ziyang should be attributed to her.

It was her indecisive attitude that caused Gu Ziyang to keep his distance from her.

Ye Qingwan saw the determination on Leng Xiaoduan’s face after she had learned from her painful experience.

It was not easy to cut off the threads of love with a sword.

Leng Xiaoduan looked calm, but Ye Qingwan knew that she must be hiding the sadness and sadness in her heart.

Leng Xiaoduan was only in her early twenties. She was at the age where a flower bloomed. However, because she had too many burdens on her shoulders, she had lost her original bright and passionate look.

Ye Qingwan opened her arms and hugged her.

Leng Xiaoduan was slightly stunned. He also reached out his hands and hugged Ye Qingwan tightly.

"You’ve worked hard, Little Duan."

"Thank you, Sister Qing."

Fortunately, there was still Ye Qingwan in this world who understood her.

A hug was enough to make Leng Xiaoduan feel comforted and warm.

——

Ye Qingwan stayed in the hotel for half an hour.

Leng Xiaoduan knew that it was inconvenient for her to stay for a long time, so he urged her to leave quickly, saying that he was tired.

Before she left, Ye Qingwan instructed Leng Xiaoduan," My phone is on 24 hours a day. Call me if you need anything.""

"Yes, I know."

Leng Xiaoduan nodded lightly.

Her heart was filled with warmth because of Ye Qingwan’s concern.

After leaving the hotel, she was about to get into Gu Feng’s car when the door of the back seat suddenly opened from the inside.

A tall and slender figure appeared. He was handsome and looked at her with a smile.

"Brother Shi Mo?"

Ye Qingwan was overjoyed. She couldn’t help but run to him.

"Why are you here?"

"The dinner just happened to end. I heard from Gu Feng that you were here, so I came to pick you up and go home with you."

"Alright, let’s go home together."

She reached out and took the initiative to hug his waist.

He took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms. The two of them quietly hugged each other.

They would see each other every day, but not long after they separated, they would start to miss each other.

Gu Shimo’s hug was warm and comfortable. It was really like a solid haven.

In his arms, she subconsciously wanted to turn into a lazy cat and enjoy herself.

After getting into the car, she leaned against his shoulder, and his warm and thick palm wrapped around her shoulder.

"I talked to Ziyang today."

Ye Qingwan told Gu Shimo about Leng Xiaoduan and Gu Ziyang’s encounter today. Gu Shimo also knew that she was here to bring Leng Xiaoduan a change of clothes.

She took the initiative to tell Ye Qingwan about her meeting with Gu Ziyang.

"Ziyang admitted it himself. He said that he does like Leng Xiaoduan."

"That’s why Little Duan decided to reject him."

Ye Qingwan said.

"Seeing the two of them reminds me of us back then."

Ye Qingwan felt emotional.

Gu Shimo tightened his grip on her shoulders.

"So, I cherish every moment you are by my side."

When Gu Shimo suddenly appeared, Ye Qingwan’s heart was in turmoil. She was extremely glad that he was not in Gu Ziyang’s situation. Otherwise, she would have been in even more pain than Leng Xiaoduan.

"Since that’s the case, Wanwan, why don’t you consider making me a full-time employee?" NovelFire

Ye Qingwan’s sadness towards Leng Xiaoduan and Gu Ziyang disappeared after Gu Shimo’s question.

Other people might be thinking about what to eat for lunch and dinner every day. NovelFire

Only Mr. Gu was thinking about marriage all day long.

 

Chapter 418: Jealous, Jealous

The next day, Leng Xiaoduan was still limping, but she insisted on coming to work.

Ye Qingwan told her to tell her if she felt unwell and she would take her to the hospital.

At noon, because Leng Xiaoduan couldn’t go out, Ye Qingwan ordered takeout and ate with her in the office.

Her phone rang. Ye Qingwan turned around and saw that it was Yu Xin.

She took a glance at Leng Xiaoduan, picked up her phone, and went outside to answer the call.

"Hello,"

"Wanwan, are you free this afternoon? Can you accompany me to buy some baby clothes?"

On the phone, Yu Xin’s attitude was polite, making it difficult for Ye Qingwan to say " no."

"I don’t have any other good friends around me. You’ve been through it before, so you’re more experienced. Seeing that you take such good care of Zixi, I want to learn from you, can I?"

Ye Qingwan had a feeling that she didn’t just want her to buy clothes for the baby. View the correct content at NovelFire

"Alright, which mall do you plan to go to? I’ll go and find you."

Seeing that she had agreed, Xinxin seemed very happy.

He told her the name of the shopping mall and made an appointment for a rough time. He reminded Ye Qingwan again and again not to forget.

After the meal, Ye Qingwan told Leng Xiaoduan that she had to go out for a while and that he should call her if anything happened.

She asked Gu Feng to drive her to the mall that Yu Xin had agreed to meet.

"Wanwan, thank you. I know you’re busy with work, but I still called a busy person like you out."

Yu Xin said to her with a smile.

Ye Qingwan smiled back.

"It just so happens that I have nothing important to do this afternoon. It’s rare that you’re in the mood to let me buy clothes for the baby with you. I haven’t seen the baby in a long time. I’ll buy him a set of clothes too."

"Aiya, I’m already very happy that you can find time to accompany me to buy clothes for Yusheng. Why should I let you spend money?"

Yusheng was the name Yu Xin gave her baby.

Leng Yusheng, as the name implied, was born to Leng Xiao and Yu Xin.

Moreover,"Yu Sheng" had the same pronunciation as "Yu Sheng", meaning that they would be together for the rest of their lives.

Ye Qingwan was about to speak when her phone rang. It was Leng Xiao.

Knowing that Yu Xin had been paying attention to her, when her phone rang, Yu Xin’s expression became nervous.

Ever since yesterday morning, Yu Xin had accidentally seen Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan’s intimate expressions outside Leng Xiaoduan’s residential area, and she had imagined dozens of secret affairs.

Last night, she almost couldn’t sleep. She dreamed that Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan were having a tryst.

Jealousy had been burning in her heart. She couldn’t hold it in anymore, so she called Ye Qingwan to ask her out.

"It’s Brother Leng Xiao."

Ye Qingwan was afraid that Yu Xin would misunderstand, so she simply showed her phone to Yu Xin.

"Let me take this."

He picked up the call.

"Brother Leng Xiao."

"Wanwan, I’ve found another good candidate. Please tell Little Duan to arrange a meeting with him when it’s convenient for her."

"I’m out shopping with Yu Xin now. I’ll tell Xiao Duan when I get back."

Leng Xiaoduan sprained her ankle. It was not convenient for her to tell Leng Xiao about it now, so she could only wait until she avoided Yu Xin.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingwan turned around and saw Yu Xin, who had just come over to pick out clothes. She pretended to turn around as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Leng Xiao said that he arranged a blind date for Xiao Duan and asked me to tell him."

Although Yu Xin had probably heard the conversation, Ye Qingwan felt that it was necessary to explain it to her.

Yu Xin couldn’t help but complain to Leng Xiao. NovelFire

"Tell me about Leng Xiao. I don’t know what he’s thinking. Couldn’t he just tell the small Duan about this? Why do I still need you to pass on the message? You don’t have the responsibility of being a supervisor, do you? That was why a boorish old man was a boorish old man. He didn’t know how to be considerate when doing things."

Ye Qingwan understood what she meant, but she didn’t want to argue with Yu Xin.

She only smiled slightly and said," He might be afraid that he would argue with Xiao Duan after a few words, so he hoped that I could persuade Xiao Duan."

"If he’s afraid of quarreling with Xiao Duan, I can also go and tell Xiao Duan."

 

Chapter 419: Meaning

Yu Xin looked like she was thinking for Ye Qingwan.

She said," He doesn’t even think about it. He has a family of his own, and you have Zixi and Gu Shimo. No matter what, it’s better to avoid the suspicion that needs to be avoided."

"Does he think that every man is as carefree as him and doesn’t care about his wife? If Gu Shimo knew about this, he would definitely be jealous, wouldn’t he?"

Yu Xin was scolding her husband in name, but in fact, she was talking to Ye Qingwan.

No matter how slow Ye Qingwan was, she should be able to understand what she meant, right?

But Ye Qingwan didn’t seem to understand.

She even smiled.

She asked casually," Yu Xin, have you read a book called ’Love in the Time of Violet’?"

Regarding Yu Xin’s suspicion, Ye Qingwan was helpless.

She didn’t respond to Yu Xin’s words directly, but asked her a question instead.

Yu Xin was a little confused by her leaping thoughts. Why did she suddenly ask if she had read this book?

She cleared her throat and explained awkwardly," Although I don’t have a job, do you know how much time and energy it takes to take care of a baby that’s only a few months old? I don’t have time to read properly."

"It’s okay if you haven’t seen it. I can give you a rough explanation of the content." NovelFire

"Sure, go ahead."

"The male protagonist in the book was obsessed with a woman named Fermina Dasa all his life. He thought that she was beautiful, charming, and so different. So he couldn’t understand why other people didn’t know how to appreciate the beauty of Ferminadasa."

"’When she clattered on her high heels across the stone pavement, why didn’t anyone fall head over heels like him? The sound of breathing came from under her veil. Why was no one moved by it? Her braids fluttered in the wind, or her hands danced in the air, or a golden smile appeared on her face. Nothing. No one was crazy about love?’"

Ye Qingwan said the classic lines in the book gently and calmly. The content was a little long, and Yu Xin was confused. She didn’t understand what she was trying to say.

"Oh my, you guys are so educated that you speak differently. Leng Xiao is only worthy of being with such an illiterate person. If I talk to him like this, he will probably only say three words to me: ’Speak in human language!’"

Ye Qingwan smiled and explained in simpler words,"

"Actually, what this paragraph is trying to express is that ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Leng Xiao is your Fermina Dasa, and you are the one who is madly in love with him."

In other words, the person you love might not be taken seriously by others.

Yu Xin was stunned and couldn’t help but ponder over the long sentence that she had just said.

Vaguely, she seemed to understand a little, but not completely.

Therefore, she decided to go to the bookstore to buy Love in the Age of the ChoChoera after she was done.

Yu Sheng was still sound asleep when she returned home after buying the book. She wanted to take advantage of this time to open the novel.

His phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?" She picked up the phone.

"You are Yu Xin, right?"

The voice sounded very strange. It was obvious that the voice had been altered, so it was impossible to determine the other party’s gender and age.

"I’m Yu Xin, who are you?" Yu Xin asked warily.

"You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that I’m on your side and that I’m here to help you."

"You’re helping me? Help me with what?"

"You love your husband, Leng Xiao, right? But your husband is thinking about another woman. This woman’s name is Ye Qingwan, right?"

Although he could not tell what the other party’s background was, his tone made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

 

Chapter 420: An Unknown Phone Call

Yu Xin asked coldly," Who exactly are you? Don’t sow discord here. Leng Xiao and I love each other very much. Ye Qingwan is just his sister who grew up with him."

"Hehe, little sister? Did Leng Xiao tell you this? Or are you deceiving yourself?" NovelFire

Then, she told him the truth about her marriage with Leng Xiao.

Leng Xiao married her not because he loved her, but because he wanted to save Ye Qingwan and the child in her belly. He had no choice but to marry Yu Xin.

Leng Xiao loved Ye Qingwan deeply. He would not hesitate to do it even if he had to die for Ye Qingwan, let alone marry Yu Xin.

"Who exactly are you? Stop talking nonsense here!"

Yu Xin, who had been suspicious of Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiao, had temporarily let down her guard after meeting Ye Qingwan.

The person on the other end of the phone had touched a sensitive part of her heart, and Yu Xin had long forgotten the meaning behind Ye Qingwan’s words.

Although Yu Xin had been married to Leng Xiao for four or five years, the reason Leng Xiao married her back then was a sharp thorn hidden in her heart that could not be touched.

Once touched, she would lose control and become hysterical.

At that time, he had to agree to Yu Xin’s condition and marry her because he wanted to save Ye Qingwan.

Yu Xin also knew that Leng Xiao did not marry her willingly.

She originally thought that she could use her sincerity to warm up Leng Xiao’s cold heart and make him fall in love with her.

However, when Ye Qingwan appeared again, her sense of crisis was like a tsunami.

As long as Leng Xiao wasn’t with her, she couldn’t help but wonder if he was seeing Ye Qingwan again.

Especially yesterday morning when she saw Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan behaving intimately.

At that moment, her heart was completely occupied by jealousy. She could no longer think rationally, and even her breathing became rapid.

Just like his current reaction.

The other party had obviously noticed her reaction and continued to say,

"You should know better than anyone else whether I’m talking nonsense or not. I’m not here to ask you for confirmation. I’ve said it before. I just want to help you. Leng Xiao is a very responsible man. I believe that if it weren’t for Ye Qingwan, he would love you wholeheartedly. So, do you want to get rid of Ye Qingwan from Leng Xiao’s heart and avoid any future troubles?"

"You don’t even dare to let others know your real voice. How can I trust you?"

"You have no other choice. If you think you can tolerate your husband sleeping with you, what does it have to do with me?"

Yu Xin gritted her teeth. After a moment of silence, she said,

"I need to think calmly. Please give me some time to think about it."

"Sure. Then I’ll call you again in two days."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed very confident." Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about your child, right?"

——

Ye Qingwan returned to the company and asked Gu Feng to send Leng Xiaoduan home before returning to her own home.

Ye Qingwan wanted to bring her home, but Leng Xiaoduan didn’t want to trouble her.

Ye Qingwan also told her about Leng Xiao’s call to arrange a blind date for Leng Xiaoduan.

"Sister Qingwan, can you tell me that my legs are not convenient these two days? I’ll go in a few days when my legs are better."

Leng Xiaoduan and Leng Xiao had the same idea. They refused to contact each other directly and asked Ye Qingwan to be their free messenger.

Ye Qingwan couldn’t bear it. Although she knew that Leng Xiaoduan was just trying to stall for time, she deeply felt sorry for him.

She said," Okay, I’ll call Leng Xiao.""
