CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 302: HELLO, MY NAME IS YE XINLUO

"Why are you standing here alone in the rain? Why don’t you go home?"

Beichen Rui didn’t answer her question, he just looked at her, and his nose caught a pungent smell. He frowned, "What’s so smelly?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and held a bag up in front of him, saying, "This is stinky tofu, it’s delicious. Do you want some?"

Beichen Rui quickly waved his hand, "This stuff is so smelly, it could kill you."

"No, it’s really good. How about we become friends...? Um, let me introduce myself first, I’m Ye Xinluo, what’s your name?"

Beichen Rui smiled, "As for names, it’s better not to know. Maybe we won’t even have the chance to meet again."

Ye Xinluo replied, "Alright then, never mind if you don’t want to tell. Looking at you, you seem to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. I’m thirteen. How old are you? Why are you here alone?"

"Hmm, seventeen. You like eating stinky tofu?" That smell permeated the air, making him a bit uncomfortable.

"Yeah, ah, I can’t talk to you anymore, I need to go home." She said and shoved the umbrella into his hand, lifted her schoolbag to cover her head, and then ran off.

Beichen Rui was just about to stop her, but the girl had already run far away. He stood there dazed for a while before coming to his senses, staring blankly at the umbrella in his hand.

That day was Beichen Rui’s parents’ memorial day. He was in a bad mood, so he ran out of the house, not expecting to meet her halfway and inexplicably receive an umbrella from her.

Later that night, when he returned home, his grandfather told him that he would be sent abroad for further studies, and the result was a six-year trip.

When he returned to the country six years later, he inherited the Beichen Family business. During those six years, Beichen Rui had transformed from an awkward boy into a confident young man.

At the board meeting for executing the inheritance of the CEO position, someone was dissatisfied with him, believing he was not up to the job. Back then, in his youthful arrogance, wanting to establish himself, he shot a bullet in front of everyone.

From then on, no one dared to oppose him.

Beichen Rui thought his life would just pass by like that, engrossed in work every day. But he was wrong.

One day not long after, he went out with friends. On the way to the restroom, just as he reached the door, a drunken woman rushed in front of him, even calling him a gigolo.

In the end, somehow, he had a relationship with her. As a result, the next morning, the woman disappeared without a trace.

Later, Beichen Rui had someone investigate her and found out she was studying at Z University. He also found out she was the girl who had given him the umbrella six years ago.

At that time, he didn’t think much about it, only assuming she was deliberately avoiding him. Therefore, he didn’t actively look for her, much less think that after that night she would get pregnant and secretly go to America to have the child.

...

Regaining his senses, he stared into Ye Xinluo’s eyes and said, "We’ve met."

Ye Xinluo responded, "When?"

"Ten years ago, one afternoon, it was drizzling, and you gave me an umbrella."

The person before him was no longer the naive girl of the past; now she had grown into a graceful woman. It was thought that after that year, there would be no chance to meet again, yet unexpectedly, this woman had given him a son.

Ye Xinluo tilted her head and thought for a long time before she remembered, "I thought we should have met before."

"I’m sorry..." Beichen Rui suddenly said...

"Huh?" Ye Xinluo was full of question marks, somewhat unable to understand what he was saying.
