In the early morning of the day of departure, at half past five, Qi Yuan's car appeared at the door of the villa.
For Ye Xi, this time is not too early.
She had been up all night.
When Qi Yuan went upstairs, she was still sitting by the window of the room in her usual posture, looking out the window in a daze.
Even at this moment, it was still pitch black outside the window and nothing could be seen.
"Miss Ye." Qi Yuan stood at the door and called her.
Ye Xi slowly turned around, and after seeing him, she stood up and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Don't worry." Qi Yuan said, "I brought you some breakfast. Eat something first."
Ye Xi heard this and sat back on the chair again, "I don't want to eat. Just call me when you want to leave. I've packed everything."
"Miss Ye." Qi Yuan sighed faintly and said, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your belly."
Ye Xi was quiet for a moment, then finally stood up again and walked out of the room.
Sure enough, there were several breakfast items on the table outside, including a small wonton and a shrimp dumpling, which Ye Xi looked very familiar to.
She sat down in a daze, and Qi Yuan first brought the small wontons in front of her.
Ye Xi lowered her head and took a sip, and the familiar taste instantly filled her taste buds.
She was absent-minded for a moment, lowering her head and eating almost in a daze.
"Try the shrimp dumplings." Qi Yuan then said to her, "It tastes good."
As expected, Ye Xi obediently picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in her mouth, her eyes turned red again.
Yunshanlou's wontons and shrimp dumplings have always been her favorite foods, and not many people know her preference.
What's more, at this time, Yunshan Restaurant is not open at all, but Qi Yuan was able to get these two steaming portions of food, which shows that it took some effort.
But who arranged all this for her... Ye Xi didn't dare to ask.
She just lowered her head and finished the two breakfasts in silence amid the aroma of food.
Qi Yuan stood aside and watched silently, never saying a word.
By the time we set off, the sky was already getting slightly brighter.
Ye Xi didn't say anything or ask anything. She just silently followed Qi Yuan into the car and left the villa in the dim morning light.
…
Tongcheng Airport.
Even though it was still early, the airport was as busy and noisy as usual.
There was a constant flow of cars coming and going on the departure floor, but there was a car parked on the roadside, motionless for a long time.
In the car, Ye Jinfan was sitting alone in the back seat, his eyes dim and unclear, staring closely at the travelers and vehicles coming and going in front of him.
Not long after, the cell phone rang and he answered the call.
"Mr. Ye, the manpower has been arranged. Now there are our people in every corner of the airport. As soon as Miss Ye appears, we will find her immediately."
Ye Jinfan listened and hung up the phone without responding.
He has set up a dragnet at this airport, and it is his, but after all, it cannot fly out of his grasp.
…
Qi Yuan's arrangements were very good. After leaving the villa, two cars escorted him all the way until he arrived at his destination.
Ye Xi was still sitting in the car waiting, while Qi Yuan went to help her go through the formalities.
After everything was settled, Qi Yuan came back and asked Ye Xi to get out of the car, preparing to take her into the gate.
Ye Xi was very quiet and cooperative throughout the whole process, without any emotion.
After all, she changed her name and stayed away from her homeland. Seeing her like this, Qi Yuan felt a little unbearable in his heart. He couldn't help but want to say something to her several times, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped.
There was never any sparkle in Ye Xi's eyes, until she saw the huge cruise ship in front of her, there was some fluctuation.
"You are pregnant and flying is too bumpy. A cruise will be much more comfortable." Qi Yuan said, "There will be many activities on the ship, as well as a library and a cinema. We will also have people arranged by us to take care of you along the way. Do you need anything?
You can give whatever orders you want."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people arranged to take care of Ye Xi on the ship had already come forward to greet him.
Qi Yuan solemnly entrusted Ye Xi to the two men. Ye Xi just said "thank you" and turned to follow the two men, preparing to board the ship.
Her movements were numb, and her every move was dictated by others, like a robot.
Qi Yuan looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
It wasn't until the moment she was about to step onto the boarding bridge that Ye Xi paused slightly, and then she turned around.
She had nothing to look forward to. This glance was just for the coming distance and farewell.
But the moment she looked back, her tears suddenly fell without warning.
On the pier, not far behind Qi Yuan, a figure she was familiar with was standing there upright, looking at her quietly.
The moment their eyes met, her eyes did not avoid her, and Ye Xi almost cried.
She came, she came to see her after all.
Even if it was just the last time, the last glance, she was still here after all.
Qi Yuan followed Ye Xi's gaze and turned around, and was not surprised at all when he saw Mu Qian.
Although Mu Qian had already said that she would not come to see Ye Xi, in fact, Qi Yuan had already guessed it when she seemingly casually asked him to prepare breakfast.
After all, the relationship has been as close as twin sisters for more than ten years. If one party never forgets it, how can the other party let it go so easily?
Ye Xi stretched out her hands to hold on to the pillars of the covered bridge, crying uncontrollably.
She originally had a lot of things to say to Mu Qian, but at this moment, she finally saw her, but she couldn't move even one step.
As smart as Mu Qian, how could he not know what she wanted to say?
If she wants to hear it, she will understand without having to say it.
If she doesn't want to listen, every word she says will be superfluous.
There was no need to say anything between her and her... and even more so today.
Ye Xi, however, couldn't let go. She just stood there and looked at Mu Qian without taking a step.
Mu Qian, who was motionless, finally made some move.
She looked at her from a distance, gestured to her, stretched out her hand and gently touched her belly.
Ye Xi could see it clearly, and her tears burst out instantly.
That was... Mu Qian was telling her to protect and take care of the child in her belly.
That was her exhortation and her blessing.
She finally forgave her.
Her foolish decisions and irreparable mistakes were finally forgiven by her.
That's enough.
Her sadness and despair were finally relieved at this moment.
Ye Xi suddenly reached out her hand, wiped away the tears on her face, and then waved gently to Mu Qian.
Mu Qian didn't move, just maintained the previous posture and looked at her silently.
Ye Xijing stood at the entrance and looked at her for a long time before finally turning around and disappearing from Mu Qian's sight.
