Answer the phone.
"..."
During the five-minute phone call, Ji Yebai’s face grew increasingly gloomy. After hanging up, he left to speak a few words with Yan Yichen, didn’t even say "goodbye" to Ning Xixi, and hurriedly departed.
Ning Xixi stared blankly at his retreating figure, feeling somewhat lost and helpless.
Was he going to leave her behind?
The only person who knew the truth, Yan Yichen, quickly came to comfort her, "Xixi, Yebai has some matters to take care of. He doesn’t want you to worry, don’t overthink it."
Ning Xixi nodded despondently.
Others also offered their consolations. The only voice of discord came from Shi Manyu, who clung to Yan Yichen’s arm and rubbed against it, "He couldn’t have been seduced away by that little vixen, right? Yichen, brother, you won’t be like him, right? Manyu knows you’re a devoted man~"
Yan Yichen withdrew his arm. Although Shi Manyu’s breasts were large and she was clearly trying to seduce him, he really felt no attraction towards her, but rather a deep revulsion!
Ning Xixi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Could it be... Dong Yingluo had contacted him again?
It had to be said, Dong Yingluo was like a thorn between her and Ji Yebai; it didn’t hurt the muscles or bones, but was as choking as a bone stuck in the throat.
The occasional pain caused distraction and turmoil.
"Brother’s wife, don’t overthink things. It’s not often we all get to go out together, we should definitely all gather for a meal!"
"Yeah, Xixi, let’s go, we’re going to have something delicious."
At the dinner table, Xiao Xichen was like a live treasure who kept the atmosphere lively, making everyone laugh uproariously.
But Ning Xixi felt a constant twitching in her eyelids, and a heavy feeling in her chest. She quietly went to the restaurant’s terrace to get some air.
Yan Yichen had been keeping an eye on her. Seeing her leave, he followed.
"Still thinking about Ji Yebai?" He leaned on the railing, glancing sideways as he asked.
His handsome face showed a faint smile, his squinted eyes forming an attractive curve, looking like a gentle older brother without the intrigues and shrewdness usually present.
Ning Xixi hummed in response, nervously fiddling with her fingers and tentatively asked, "President... I mean, President, did Ji Yebai go to see a woman?"
"You’re thinking too much, of course not," Yan Yichen said with a soft laugh, rubbing Ning Xixi’s hair affectionately, "Squinty? Is this the nickname you gave me?"
Ning Xixi felt a bit embarrassed, "Sorry, I won’t call you that anymore..."
After all, giving someone a nickname without being very close can seem quite disrespectful.
"No, I quite like it, you can call me that," Yan Yichen replied with a gentle and harmless smile.
After some casual conversation, Ning Xixi stepped forward, planning to return to her seat.
Yan Yichen’s voice came from behind her, "Ning Xixi, it’s inappropriate for me to say this, but please believe me, Ji Yebai... truly likes you, to an extent that even he isn’t aware of himself."
Her heart shaken, Ning Xixi clenched the hem of her dress.
"Thank you for telling me this."
...
At night, in the Ji Family home.
Ning Xixi tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand which showed it was already past eleven at night.
Ji Yebai... still hadn’t come back...
The door creaked open, Ning Xixi sat up excitedly, "Dabai..."
"It’s me, Xixi," said Mrs. Ji softly.
It wasn’t him... Ning Xixi let her eyelids droop in disappointment, "Auntie, where is Dabai?"
Mrs. Ji opened her mouth as if to speak, then hesitated, a fleeting look of avoidance in her eyes.
