The evening lights were lit. The night sky added a hue of magnificent color to the city.
The night sky of a city was always filled with hot and dry beauty. Even at night, the heat and dryness in the day did not subside. It showed a sense of heavy mysteriousness, making people want to explore.
Inside an elegantly decorated French restaurant, Yun Ruoxi sat beside the window. She looked down at the heavy traffic on the street through the window, and her gentle face had a trace of sadness.
She was wearing a light yellow dress, soft but not losing pureness. Her delicate brows were as if they were painted by the most famous artist in the world. It looked so perfect under the lights, perfect sadness.
This kind of women was the best at stimulating men’s desire to protect them. She was feminine, melancholy, and a bit sad. It made people want to give them the best gem in the world in exchange for their smile.
Ye Chen walked into the restaurant and spotted her quickly. She happened to be turning her head to a side, showing her perfect side face. He had no idea what she was thinking about, but she looked sad.
Third Young Master Ye frowned and walked over to Yun Ruoxi. “Ruoxi, how long have you been waiting for?”
He pulled out a chair and sat down.
A trace of happiness flashed past Yun Ruoxi’s eyes and her sadness faded away. Her eyes were filled with glittering shine and her whole face lit up. It was as if Ye Chen was her life and she lived for Ye Chen.
It had been so for the past few years!
“Not long!” Yun Ruoxi replied with a gentle voice. Although she had waited for an hour, she did not think that it was long. She did not mind waiting as long as Ye Chen came in the end.
“What do you want to eat? I can help you order!” Yun Ruoxi said considerately. Her beautiful face was filled with gentleness.
Ye Chen shook his head, a trace of doting smiled skimming past his delicate features. He said faintly, “There’s no need. I’m going home to eat later!”
Before having a son, Ye Chen would snatch Cheng Anya’s lunch. After that, she would automatically bring two sets of lunch. Although they were home-cooked food, they were really delicious, better than those cooked by a five-star hotel chef.
Ye Chen’s appetite had become more difficult to satisfy.
Ever since he lived with his son, Ye Chen had been going home to eat with Ning Ning and he had never missed it. If the issue was not urgent, he would push it to the next day. He would rather spend time with Ning Ning, buying groceries, before going home together to cook and eat.
He did not know how to cook, but he had been learning recently.
Ning Ning said that the first condition of a good man was to know how to cook. Ning Ning patted his chest childishly and said that he was an example of a perfect man. Ye Chen was so amused that he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The little kid said that he wanted to train his daddy to be a skilled cook within the shortest possible time so that Ye Chen could serve his mommy.
Look, what a biased little kid.
But…
Ye Chen really cherished this family warmth as it was something rare for him.
“Go home to eat?” Yun Ruoxi was shocked and she became nervous for no reason. She tried to ask, “You’ve hired a helper?”
“No!” Ye Chen looked at Yun Ruoxi deeply. It seemed like Old Master Ye had not told Yun Ruoxi anything. But it was expected. Old Master Ye was hoping that Yun Ruoxi would marry Ye Chen so that he could get the help of Yun Enterprise. It was natural that he would not tell Yun Ruoxi the truth.
“Ruoxi… Forget it. Do you have anything to tell me?”
Traces of a bitter smile flashed past Yun Ruoxi’s lips. Since when did their relationship become such that she could only find him when she had something to say? ‘Ye Chen, I am your girlfriend, your fiancée. You said that if you get married, the bride would definitely be me.’
‘Have you forgotten about it?’
“Have you been busy recently?” Yun Ruoxi hid her sadness and asked softly. Recently, whenever Yun Ruoxi looked for him, he either switched off his phone or said that he was busy. She called MBS and Liu Xiaotian said that the President did not stay in the office often. He was often late and left early.
Ye Chen had never behaved in such a way!
Even if he was busy, did he not even have time to eat dinner with her?
“I am indeed quite busy!” Ye Chen smiled. He wanted to spend the whole day with Ning Ning. Once he thought of the cute and scheming Ning Ning, his coldness became warmth. He naturally showed his doting side.
“Really?” Yun Ruoxi smiled bitterly. Her melancholy eyes looked very sad. It added a trace of sadness to the romantic restaurant.
Did he have another woman?
He had not been attending any events recently, but there had also been no rumors regarding him being with other women. He went home once he ended work. This transformation of a boyfriend was good for a girlfriend.
But, if Ye Chen was the one who had this transformation…
It only made Yun Ruoxi feel uneasy. Lies, guesses, jealousy, and all sorts of negative thoughts went through her mind. She felt that if she still did not meet Ye Chen to ask him about it, she would go crazy!
In the past, even if Ye Chen had a woman, he would never forget about Yun Ruoxi. But, how long had it been since he last called her?
Once a woman felt a sense of danger, she would become hysterical.
She really wanted to ask who it was, but she lost all her courage to ask once she saw the gentleness and tender love that Ye Chen had never revealed. She was afraid that she could not accept the consequences.
“Right, where is your chief secretary? Liu Xiaotian had been the one answering the call recently.”
Would it be Cheng Anya?
It was such a coincidence that the woman that caught Ye Chen’s attention was not around at that period.
Ye Chen’s eyes darkened and he looked at Yun Ruoxi with a cold expression. Was she testing him out? Humph!
“She got into a car accident and is lying in the hospital,” Ye Chen said without any emotions. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already half-past seven. His son should be urging him to go home. “Do you still have anything to say? If not, I need to leave!”
“Chen…”Yun Ruoxi shouted his name in a flustered manner. It was obvious that she was sad from her tone. “Can’t you accompany me for a night? It has been so long since you accompanied me!”
The woman was very feminine, and she looked like one could not help but love her upon seeing her. Even someone with a heart of steel would not be so heartless as to reject her invitation after they looked at her.
Ye Chen was expressionless and cold. He rejected her with no hesitation. “No!”
Ye Chen walked two steps and looked back. He looked at Yun Ruoxi coldly and said, “Ruoxi, do not have any hopes of me!”
Ye Chen was cold, heartless, and had no trace of emotions. It was as if he was just stating a fact.
He turned around and walked away once he finished his sentence.
Yun Ruoxi looked at his back view and gritted her teeth secretly. She felt so painful that it went into her bone marrows. She could not help but clench her delicate and fair small hands. How could Ye Chen be so cruel? Although Ye Chen had not treated anyone gently in the past few years, he had never talked to Yun Ruoxi with such a tone. Yun Ruoxi had always thought that she was different from other women.
But, why did Ye Chen change his attitude so quickly?
Reluctant, she was very reluctant!
Her grandpa had said that he and Old Master Ye were already planning to make arrangements for their wedding. She was going to be his wife and the wife of MBS’ president. But, where was Ye Chen’s heart at such a time?
She would not allow anyone to come in between them.
It’s been a long six years. She had accompanied him through such a long way and had wasted her youth. How would she be willing to give up Ye Chen?
She always knew that Ye Chen did not love her, but he did not love anyone and did not care about who he married. Why couldn’t it be her?
Yun Ruoxi stood up. Her gentle face had become gloomy.
She wanted to see what was waiting for him at his villa and making him anxious to return. He did not even want to spend one more minute with her.
