"If you hadn’t come back, Jingxi wouldn’t have met you, and he would have stayed by my side all the time. Don’t you think so?"
Still, no one responded. Beichen Rui just frowned; he was drunk now and couldn’t hear what he was saying.
Two minutes later, Ye Xinluo finally mustered the courage, stood on tiptoe, and lightly kissed Beichen Rui on the lips like a dragonfly touching water.
Then she quickly pulled away.
She opened her phone again, clicked on Housekeeper Lin’s number, deliberately ignoring the number that followed.
But no matter how much she ignored it, her heart still ached.
After a while, she returned to the contacts screen and looked at the number after Housekeeper Lin’s.
[Wife].
These two words undoubtedly pierced her eyes, and she didn’t have the courage to open it, let alone dial it.
No wonder Jiang Shihan came to her inexplicably recently to say those things, and no wonder he kept her in the office for so long this afternoon.
It turned out that this was all true—Jiang Shihan wasn’t lying to her. There really was an engagement between them, so this [wife] was Jiang Shihan, right?
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have cared for him tonight.
But there was one thing she couldn’t figure out: since he already had a fiancée, why did he still want her to marry him? Could it be that he was deliberately making things difficult for her?
Thinking of this, she felt angry and more so, a bitterness, wanting to leave him here.
In fact, she did just that, supporting Beichen Rui to a big tree, letting him lean against it, and then turned to leave.
...
Ten minutes later, Ye Xinluo came back and saw Beichen Rui in the same posture as when she left, except now he had his eyes open.
He was just staring blankly at her.
Thinking he was sober, she walked up to him, only to realize he was just staring at a spot with vacant eyes.
She sighed helplessly and was about to call Housekeeper Lin again when a black Bentley stopped by the roadside. The person in the driver’s seat opened the door and walked over to her.
She then realized it was Housekeeper Lin who came, and Ye Xinluo was taken aback, "Housekeeper Lin, why are you here?"
Housekeeper Lin replied, "I was just handling some affairs and passed by here. It looked like Miss Ye, so I came over to check, and it really was."
Housekeeper Lin spoke without a change in expression; he wouldn’t tell her that it was Mo Han who called him, saying Beichen Rui was drunk and needed him to fetch him.
He also mentioned Ye Xinluo was there, ordering him to hurry over, so Housekeeper Lin drove over without another word.
"I see..." Ye Xinluo nodded, clearly believing his words. "You take him back, I’ll leave first."
As she turned to leave, Housekeeper Lin quickly called after her, "Miss Ye, it’s very late now, let me take you back!"
Ye Xinluo stopped in her tracks, glanced around, and seeing no cars nearby, nodded in agreement.
When Housekeeper Lin helped Beichen Rui into the car, Ye Xinluo got in as well.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Beichen Rui’s villa, and Ye Xinluo followed since Housekeeper Lin said they’d drop off Beichen Rui first, then her.
Entering the villa with Housekeeper Lin, she curiously looked around the decor. It was a garden-style house, and she had seen many flowers in the yard outside just now. "Housekeeper Lin, does Jingxi live here too?"
Housekeeper Lin replied, "The young master lives in the room next door. He stayed with the young master for a while, but later, the young master said he wanted him to become independent, so he moved to the room next door."
Supporting Beichen Rui to the master bedroom door, he looked at her and asked, "Miss Ye, could you help me get the young master inside?"
