CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 187: GENUINE FEELINGS STIRRED

After waiting for a few hours, Lin Ruixian returned to the apartment complex with Gu Ningyue, carrying a cake.

The two of them walked for about forty minutes before finally standing at the entrance to the hallway of Building Thirty.

This complex is indeed too large, with every building looking identical.

Several times, Gu Ningyue felt like she had walked into a maze, completely unaware of her location.

Gu Ningyue thought to herself, if she were to carry out a mission in Y City, this would definitely be the best hiding spot.

Once inside the elevator, Lin Ruixian said, "I’ll go in first later, wait for me at the corner, don’t rush."

Cheng Yihan is always very cautious; a stranger appearing with Lin Ruixian would easily scare him away.

Her identity as Gu Weiwei was no more, and Gu Ningyue was well aware of this.

"Alright. Call me if there’s any problem!"

Lin Ruixian nodded. On the seventh floor, a couple in the middle of a spat got on.

The girl was aggressive, and the boy silently pressed the button for the first floor, probably to leave.

After listening for a while and waiting for them to leave, Gu Ningyue remarked to Lin Ruixian, "Having someone make a fuss like that sometimes isn’t so bad."

Lin Ruixian, disdaining the thought, re-pressed the button for the twenty-seventh floor, "Always being that loud, I’d rather be alone!"

Gu Ningyue probed, "So, have you ever been in love before?"

Lin Ruixian glanced at her without speaking, apparently not intending to engage.

On the sixteenth floor, the elevator door opened, surprising Gu Ningyue at the sight of the girl who entered.

— Wasn’t this the girl she met on the plane?

The girl who wore a white dress on the plane was now standing in front of them wearing large sunglasses, clearly also a bit surprised to run into them here, "Do you guys live in this building?"

Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian, seeing he had no intention of speaking, she responded, "No, we’re visiting a friend."

The girl in the white dress mused, "Didn’t expect we’d meet again so coincidentally."

Saying this, she pressed the button for the 26th floor.

In the elevator with only three people, the atmosphere was particularly awkward. The girl in the white dress, having been rejected by Lin Ruixian once, no longer had any desire to approach him, simply standing there quietly, occasionally glancing at him.

"Ding—"

After reaching the twenty-sixth floor, the girl in the white dress from the plane exited, "Goodbye."

She waved to them as the elevator door closed again.

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but nudge Lin Ruixian, "Such a nice girl, and you’re not interested?"

The girl in the white dress, although not as outstanding as Chen Rui and the others, had a slender and graceful figure with delicate features, looking very clean and refreshing.

Upon reaching the twenty-seventh floor, Lin Ruixian stepped out of the elevator, casually saying, "If you like her, you can go after her."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

This guy, his temper really hasn’t changed a bit.

At Cheng Yihan’s doorstep, Lin Ruixian knocked on the door.

Gu Ningyue hid at the corner, looking at the man who emerged from inside after a few seconds, feeling a strange sensation.

These people hadn’t changed, but in Gu Ningyue’s eyes, they seemed as if they were from a past life.

However, for her now, it truly was a past life.

"Young Master Lin?"

"It’s me, does Mr. Cheng still remember me?"

"Hmm. When did Young Master Lin come to Y City?"

"Today, I heard Mr. Cheng lives here, so I made a special visit. Mr. Cheng, you wouldn’t mind, would you?"

"...Come in!"

Watching the door slowly close again, Gu Ningyue clutched her chest, leaning against the wall and remaining silent for a long time.

Cheng Yihan hadn’t changed, so what about her master?

Is she doing well? Where is she now?

If she could see her master, perhaps even being abandoned by Ling Tianyou wouldn’t matter to her!

Meanwhile, in a certain hotel in A City, two bodies that had just rolled in bed were tightly embracing each other.

"President Ye, I heard you’re planning a wedding?" You Shuying’s voice was hoarse, characteristic after intimacy, with a hint of tenderness and weariness.

Ye Mingchen nodded, "Yes, Wanwan is pregnant. In a few months, when her belly shows, she won’t be able to wear a wedding dress."

Ever since the family found out Gu Wanwan was pregnant, the elderly couple who originally didn’t like her much had softened their attitude.

After all, it’s their own grandchild, they wouldn’t ignore it.

"Can I attend?" You Shuying’s fingers drew circles on Ye Mingchen’s fair chest, her bright red nails still striking under the bedside lamp, "I want to see you getting married with my own eyes."

Ye Mingchen held her wayward fingertips, emotions swirling in his eyes, "Aren’t you afraid you’ll get hurt? Or planning to ruin my wedding?"

You Shuying lifted her head with a charming smile, "Does President Ye want me to crash the wedding?"

Ye Mingchen quietly looked at her, after a long time, said slowly, "That’s not impossible..."

You Shuying suppressed the nausea rising in her stomach, keeping a smile on her face, "Alright then, remember to send me an invite."

Ye Mingchen nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget."

After an undetermined time, a phone placed by the pillow rang. Ye Mingchen glanced at the name on the screen, picked up the phone and turned to You Shuying, "I have to leave."

You Shuying sensibly released her embrace, turning to her side, supporting her head with one hand, quietly watching as he answered Gu Wanwan’s call, speaking those well-practiced sweet words.

Once he finished talking and started dressing, You Shuying leisurely spoke, "President Ye, besides Gu Wanwan, how many other girls are there behind you?"

Ye Mingchen was taken aback, then calmly asked, "Want the truth?"

You Shuying nodded, "Of course. I’m not Miss Gu!"

Ye Mingchen laughed, "There are, and plenty."

A joke, how could the eldest Young Master of the Ye Family have only Gu Wanwan and You Shuying as women?

His marriage with Gu Wanwan was just because the benefits she brought were the greatest.

You Shuying, propping her head, asked, "Then, hasn’t there been one you’ve truly cared for?"

Ye Mingchen took the tie and placed it around his neck, skillfully tying a half-Windsor knot, then, with his back to You Shuying, said, "No. But I did meet a silly girl who genuinely cared for me."

Saying this, he even let out a snicker.

As if it was an extremely trivial and foolish thing.

He didn’t see You Shuying’s sudden clenched fingers, nor the gradually icy smile on her face, "Then later, where did she go?"

Ye Mingchen adjusted his tie in front of the mirror, after thinking for a long time said, "She probably...went back to her hometown."
