Roland glanced at Yiyi thoughtfully, said nothing, and then walked away.
At the same time, as soon as Yi Yao arrived at Shelley's convenience, he was met with insinuating questions.
"I heard that you and Xing Yan were shopping in the mall two days ago?"
Shelley's face remained normal, and her calm tone did not reveal her attitude at the moment, as if she was just chatting casually.
In fact, he was extremely nervous. Thinking of Xing Yan's attitude towards Yi Yao several times before and after, he was afraid that the two of them would really have feelings for each other.
Yi Yao knew clearly in his heart that this must be Yi Yi talking nonsense, and maybe adding some extravagant words to it.
In order to prevent Shelley from misunderstanding, Yi Yao took off his mask and looked at Shelley with clear eyes.
"Miss Shelley, Mr. Xing and I did go to the mall, but there were other reasons. I'm sorry I can't tell you now."
Xing Yan chose a gift for Shelley, presumably because he wanted to give him a surprise, and she couldn't let her ruin it.
He continued: "But don't worry, I did not seduce Mr. Xing, and I am still a pregnant woman."
Hearing this, Shelley was shocked, and his eyes subconsciously went to Yi Yao's belly, obviously not expecting that the other party would be pregnant.
"You have a baby?" Shelley said in disbelief.
"Yes." Yi Yao nodded, "It's been more than three months."
When she mentioned the child, her body seemed to exude a soft light, her eyes and brows were full of kindness, and her hands gently caressed her abdomen.
After learning about this, Shelley completely lost all doubts about Yi Yao and no longer struggled with the matter between Yi Yao and Xing Yan.
He patted the seat next to him, worried that Yi Yao would be tired, and quickly said, "Sit down quickly."
Yi Yao took a step back, with firmness and respect on his face, and bowed to Shelley with a righteous attitude.
"Miss Shelley, I'm here just to work. I won't do anything that goes against the rules."
In this way, Yi Yao also expressed her thoughts to Shelley side by side. She would never have any thoughts about Xing Yan.
When Yi Yao said this, Shelley felt a sense of guilt in her heart. She was naturally magnanimous and did not shy away from making mistakes.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have listened to the rumors and misunderstood you."
"It doesn't matter." Yi Yao acted calmly and generously, "It's just because I didn't think carefully."
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. After this incident, they felt an inexplicable feeling of sympathy for each other.
Shelley thought of something, "By the way, I'm going out with Xing Yan soon, so you can rest here."
"Okay, I wish you good luck, Miss Shelley." Yi Yao smiled sweetly and said nothing.
Shelley smiled softly, like a fairy walking out of a painting, and Yi Yao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
We both work in the city that never sleeps. Why are Shelley and Yiyi so different? They are not on the same level at all.
However, this has nothing to do with her. As long as she does her job well, she shouldn't think too much about anything else.
So, after Shelley left, Yi Yao cleaned the entire room to make sure there was no dust.
She was sitting down to rest when she suddenly received a call from Shelley, "Miss Shelley, are you okay?"
As a result, Xing Yan's voice came from the phone, "She's drunk. I'll give you an address. You come and pick her up."
When Xing Yan said this, Yi Yao responded without any hesitation, "Okay, I'll be there soon."
Afterwards, after Yi Yao reported to Roland, he called the full-time driver from Night Capital and went out together.
After a long time, the car stopped at the entrance of a high-end restaurant. Yi Yao immediately saw Shelley and Xing Yan standing on the roadside.
Yi Yao hurriedly walked forward and said, "Mr. Xing, thank you for taking care of Miss Shelley. I will take her away."
"Take care of her, she's very drunk." Just after he finished speaking, Xing Yan changed his tone again, "Forget it, I'll go with you."
"Uh... ok."
Although I don't understand why Xing Yan suddenly changed his mind, Yi Yao, as a humble wage earner, doesn't know much.
The three of them got into the car. Shelley kept leaning in Yi Yao's arms, with his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed.
Yi Yao was confused. Logically speaking, Xing Yan was celebrating Shelley's birthday, but why did she think something was wrong with these two people.
All the way to Beijing, which never sleeps, the atmosphere in the carriage was always solid and never relaxed for a moment.
After helping Shelley into the room to rest, out of politeness, Yi Yao came to the door again and explained to Xing Yan.
"Mr. Xing, thank you for sending Miss Shelley back. From now on, I will take care of you, so I won't trouble you anymore."
"Thank you." Xing Yan said politely, and his eyes slowly focused on Yi Yao's figure.
He continued: "You seem to be resting well recently. You are not as haggard as when I saw you before."
Yi Yao nodded slightly, "It's pretty good. Thanks to Miss Shelley's care, I can take good care of myself."
Hearing this, Xing Yan glanced at the door and said in a serious tone, "Shelley, you are indeed a very kind person."
It's a pity that they were not destined to be together. Xing Yan withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly towards Yi Yao, politely.
"Then I won't bother you. I'll treat you to dinner when I get the chance. Thank you for helping me choose a gift last time."
"No……"
Before Yi Yao could say her words of rejection, Xing Yan strode away.
Helpless, she could only swallow the words that came to her lips.
Pushing the door open, Shelley was squatting on the ground leaning against the sofa, curled up together, exuding sadness.
After seeing Yi Yao, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "He's gone?"
"Yes." Yi Yao nodded and asked tentatively: "Miss Shelley, do you have something on your mind? Maybe you can talk to me."
Shelley smiled bitterly, his eyes full of self-mockery, and his originally neatly combed hair became quite messy.
"What's there to say? It's just that I like him, but he doesn't like my old-fashioned plot."
Originally, I wanted to use this birthday meal to show my feelings to Xing Yan, but I didn't expect that the two of them almost couldn't even be friends.
All along, Xing Yan had no feelings for her between men and women, it was just her wishful thinking.
Yi Yao probably understood what happened between the two people. Although he couldn't empathize with it, he really felt sorry for Shelley.
He slowly knelt down, held Shelley's hands, and comforted him with a soft tone.
"Sister Shelley, you are excellent and beautiful. There are so many men in the world, there is no need to be obsessed with just one person."
Anyone can give advice, but to really understand it, it is up to Shelley himself, and others are powerless.
Shelley raised his eyes when he heard the sound, "Are you telling the truth?"
"certainly."
Yi Yao nodded firmly. She would never lie to others about this kind of thing. She admired Shelley and admired him even more as a person.
