Chapter 2 - dream partner
02
The smart speakers in the house spit out beautiful light music.
There was a yoga mat on the ground, Ye Liuying changed clothes and sat cross-legged, trying to drive away the irritability caused by Shen Xingzhou.
Who knew that not long after, there was another knock on the door.
Ye Liuying almost thought it was Shen Xingzhou who left and returned.
She put on a long coat, and the people who appeared after opening the door were far beyond her expectations.
It was Uncle Wang, the driver of Shen Xingzhou.
He gave Ye Liuying a bunch of apartment keys and told her that she would send all her things to the apartment.
“He gave it to me?” Ye Liuying looked at Uncle Wang in disbelief.
Uncle Wang recalled what Shen Xingzhou explained, and embarrassedly relayed: “Young master said, out of sight is pure.”
“…” As expected of him.
Ye Liuying took the key cooperatively.
The doll hanging on the keychain was still the one she had left at the Peninsula Villa.
She held it in her hand, and somehow suddenly thought of the scene when they first met.
The playful and perverse son, brother, is even worse than now.
And she suddenly realized that in the past year, he and she have both grown up.
– Ye Liuying’s situation at that time was not very good.
She didn’t even have time to get her coat, so she ran out of the banquet hall in a hurry, her hands shaking when she pressed the elevator.
“Ah Ying, wait! Ah Ying!” Ye Zhicheng chased after him, but he was fat and lacked exercise, so he only had time to see Ye Liuying closing the elevator door in front of him.
She breathed a sigh of relief, leaning her back against the elevator wall and panting.
The Ye family runs a small and medium-sized home appliance business, which has been going downhill in recent years, surviving through cracks.
In her opinion, her father is not suitable for running a business, but obviously he doesn’t realize it himself, and after listening to some drinking friends, he wants to transform and develop high-tech home appliances.
Because of lack of funds, he tried his best to get an invitation to this evening’s business dinner.
Ye Liuying didn’t have class this afternoon, so he came here with a dress.
She accompanied him to meet many celebrities, thinking that she was here to serve as a vase, but only later did she realize that her father’s heart was bigger than she imagined.
It seems that the father who loved her so much in his memory has become a little strange.
Ye Liuying was the only one in the elevator.
She was stunned, and saw the elevator stopped on the thirty-sixth floor with a “ding”.
The atmosphere of entering is very strong, and as soon as you enter the elevator, it shows a strong sense of existence.
He was wearing an army green overalls suit and a black functional vest casually over his shirt, revealing his superior body proportions and long legs.
“They are all decent people, why are you full of yellow waste?” He wore white wireless headphones on his ears, and raised his eyebrows frivolously when his eyes met Ye Liuying in the corner.
The sound is nice.
It’s a pity that it’s not a serious person.
Ye Liuying lowered her eyes and moved her body to the right, trying to reduce her sense of existence.
A few tens of seconds seemed as long as a century.
He took off his earphones and leaned against the elevator wall with Ye Liuying. Those peach blossom eyes with beautiful arcs were astonishingly bright, “Sister, you look a little familiar.”
He had said similar things to many people in the past, but this time it was sincere.
Although Ye Liuying doesn’t think so.
The one-shoulder black pleated dress set off her icy muscles and jade bones, and the delicate collarbone chain shone in the bright white light.
She is slender, with perfect lines from her arms to her shoulders and neck, as elegant as a swan.
He looked down at her face, almost falling into the moonlight in her eyes.
“But you look strange.” Ye Liuying finally looked up at him.
This is really old-fashioned, but judging from his appearance, the possibility of failure should not be high.
His skin is very white, and he seems to be cold. Peach Blossom has a small vermilion mole under his eyes, handsome and affectionate.
Hearing Ye Liuying’s words, he laughed out loud, and the numb bass had its own reverberation effect in the narrow elevator car.
Ye Liuying frowned, and after seeing the beating numbers of the elevator, she raised her feet and left.
“I was born once, and I am familiar with it again.” She heard a meaningful voice behind her, with a lingering ending, lingering in her ears.
Fortunately, he went to the underground parking lot without her coming out.
Ye Liuying calmed down a bit, took out her mobile phone from her handbag and contacted Meng Linzhou.
Meng Linzhou is her cousin, three years older than her.
Ever since Ye Liuying could remember, she liked to stick to him very much. Meng Linzhou didn’t find it annoying, even if she had a younger brother later, his kindness to her never changed.
If it wasn’t for that incident, Meng Linzhou would still be the person she trusted the most.
The phone was picked up almost in seconds.
Meng Linzhou waited for her for a long time, and as soon as she connected, she said impatiently, “Ah Ying, are you still in the hotel?”
“Well…” Ye Liuying glanced at the rain screen outside the hotel and nodded lightly.
She hesitated for two seconds before biting her lip and said, “Can you come and pick me up?”
“Wait, I’ll come right away.” There was a small sound in the receiver, Meng Linzhou picked up the key and walked out.
Ye Liuying nodded silently.
She felt that Meng Linzhou seemed to know something, at least more than she knew.
March in Jiangcheng is the time when the spring is cold, and the dense rain is mixed with the cold wind, gradually destroying people’s will.
Ye Liuying was afraid that Ye Zhicheng would catch up, so she did not dare to wait for the bus in the lobby, and walked out of the hotel without looking back.
She shuddered when she went out, and did not dare to go too far. She estimated the distance and decided to go to the bus station not far away.
“Aying?” Meng Linzhou didn’t hang up the phone, and kept on calling her, “I should be there in ten minutes, don’t be afraid, I’ll be there soon.”
“Okay.” Ye Liuying responded.
She took the initiative to hang up the phone and hurried to the bus stop.
Gradually, fine raindrops climbed onto Ye Liuying’s white and tender skin and her long curly hair.
It was also raining on the black dress, which showed her slender and slender figure, shining like a vivid oil painting in the rain.
Ye Liuying ran attentively, not noticing a white top supercar following behind.
The owner of the car followed her unhurriedly, driving the sports car to the speed of a bicycle.
Until she stopped at the bus stop, he didn’t care whether it was illegal or not, and stopped in front of her arrogantly.
The window rolled down, and the handsome face he had just seen not long ago reappeared in Ye Liuying’s line of sight.
“Is it cooked now?” He was wearing a black leather fingerless glove on his left hand, with distinct knuckles of his fingers. “Where are you going? I’ll take it off for you.”
It must be said that this is a good time to flirt.
But with Ye Liuying, he has no chance of winning.
“I’ll wait for someone.” She glanced at him roughly and then withdrew her gaze, looking down at her hand intently.
“It’s cruel.” He smiled, not sure if he was talking about her or the person she was waiting for.
Ye Liuying didn’t take him to heart.
She thought he was leaving soon, but it turned out that she had miscalculated.
Before she could regain her senses, the man opened his umbrella and got out of the car and walked towards her.
It wasn’t until he was covered with a large men’s jacket that Ye Liuying looked up at him.
She didn’t even have make-up on her face, her innocent little face was tinged with the coldness of the spring rain, and there was a light mist in her brown eyes, which was silent but seductive.
Four eyes facing each other.
The interest in his eyes grew stronger.
“No thanks.” He moved his lips, and his profound facial features were stunned by the neon lights on the street.
Ye Liuying was stunned for a rare moment.
He didn’t say anything, left his jacket and turned his head to leave, his straight figure seemed to be covered in mist.
“Next time, don’t say we don’t know each other.” Before getting into the car, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Liuying, showing his signature smile.
The roar of the sports car sounded, and it was soon integrated into the traffic.
The long-lost spring rain has been falling for a long time, and as soon as this person leaves, there is a tendency to stop.
Ye Liuying looked up at the bleak sky, but her heart was empty and she couldn’t find a place to return.
“Ah Ying.” As he said, Meng Linzhou arrived in just ten minutes.
He opened the door and got out of the car without caring about holding an umbrella. When he saw Ye Liuying standing alone, he turned around and walked towards her with an umbrella.
The anxiety on Meng Linzhou’s face couldn’t be more obvious.
His facial features are clear and handsome, and his image from childhood to adulthood is very positive, which is obviously different from the person just now.
Ye Liuying pulled into the collar of her jacket and got into the car under the protection of Meng Linzhou.
Meng Linzhou had prepared a lot of words, but when he really saw her, he couldn’t say anything.
He turned his head to look at Ye Liuying and frowned slightly when he noticed her obviously ill-fitting men’s jacket, “This jacket…?”
The conditions of the Meng family are much better than those of the Ye family. Meng Linzhou and Shen Xingzhou have met several times.
If I remember correctly, he saw Shen Xingzhou passing by at the party a few days ago.
Shen Xingzhou has his own exclusive designer. Except for the brands he loves, every other piece of clothing is unique.
The bomber jacket in this style, as well as the embroidered logo on the shoulders, is enough proof that the dress belongs.
“It was given by a passerby.” Ye Liuying replied casually.
Seeing that Meng Linzhou didn’t care about her, she didn’t ask any further questions.
With the temperament of his cousin, it is not unusual for him to be approached by a son like Shen Xingzhou.
What really made him care was what happened to her in the hotel today.
Originally, Meng Linzhou planned to accompany her here, but she has not been looking forward to seeing her for the past two years. In addition, something happened temporarily in the hospital, so it was delayed.
“Uncle he…” Meng Linzhou spoke with difficulty, rarely daring to look at Ye Liuying’s reaction, “Would you like to move out? If he comes to you again, you can find a way to avoid it.”
Ye Zhicheng really went too far this time.
He didn’t want to defend Ye Zhicheng, and for a moment, he almost couldn’t help but tell the truth.
“It’s fine if I live at the school.” Ye Liuying lowered her head and didn’t say much, her tone was light.
After she went to college, she would only go home on weekends, but tonight she was forced to be a vase, and Ye Zhicheng asked Ye Zhicheng to accompany the rich and potbellied businessman to dinner.
Ye Liuying didn’t quite understand why Ye Zhicheng would prioritize sons over daughters to such an extent.
Before his younger brother was born, his love for her could not be faked.
Meng Linzhou turned to look at Ye Liuying who was biting her lips and said nothing, the obscure emotions in her eyes kept fermenting.
Unlike the cute little girl when she was a child, her temperament is colder now, especially when she doesn’t speak.
It was quiet in the carriage, and he seemed to be able to hear his own heart beating violently.
Meng Linzhou thought about it, turned the corner and parked the car on the side of the road, pressed Ye Liuying’s shoulder and said, “Aying, listen to me, you actually…”
Not the Ye family’s child.
