In the same late night, Ye Jinfan took Ye Xi and drove back to the former residence of the Ye family.
Ye Xi was silent all the way until the familiar villa gradually appeared in front of her eyes, and finally a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
That was the place where she grew up, and it was the place where she witnessed most of her life experiences. Originally, it should have been gone long ago.
When the Ye family went bankrupt, this villa should no longer be there.
Ye Xi couldn't help but turn her head and look at Ye Jinfan. Ye Jinfan seemed to know what she wanted to ask. After a faint smile, he said: "How could I let this house be occupied by others?"
Ye Xi was slightly startled, the car had already arrived at the gate.
Since the death of her parents, only the two siblings lived in the Ye family villa, and he rarely went home. Whenever she came to the door of the house, she would always see a deserted look.
But at this moment, six or seven cars were parked neatly in front of Ye's house. Professional bodyguards stood around the low wall, surrounding the entire villa like a copper wall.
Seeing this, Ye Xi quickly looked away.
After all, it's still different.
Ye Jinfan's car drove straight into the heavily guarded iron gate and stopped at the main entrance.
Ye Xi sat in the car and did not move until Ye Jinfan got out of the car and walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and pulled her out.
The moment he pinched her hand, Ye Jinfan frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold? Go in and take a hot bath first to warm it up."
Ye Xi still didn't answer, and Ye Jinfan didn't wait for her to answer, so he pulled her through the door.
The layout and furnishings in the house were the same as before, still the way she remembered them from the beginning.
As soon as Ye Xi entered the door, she looked at the home she was most familiar with. Before any emotion came to her heart, her eyes were already red.
Ye Jinfan took her to the sofa and sat down, "You rest here for a while, and I'll go up and get some water for you."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her again, then turned and went upstairs.
When he went downstairs again, Ye Jinfan had already changed into home clothes. When he looked at the living room, Ye Xi's figure was no longer on the sofa.
Ye Jinfan's eyes darkened and he quickly went downstairs. Then he saw Ye Xi sitting at the foot of the stairs at the turn of the stairs.
She hugged her knees, leaned against the guardrail, and sat quietly in that corner, her body trembling slightly, and she was clearly...crying.
Ye Jinfan paused for a moment before stepping forward, squatting down in front of her and holding her face.
She had already cried until her eyes were blurred with tears, and there was no trace of blood on her extraordinarily pale and thin face. Not even a shadow of the soft, sweet Ye Xi could be seen on her anymore.
Ye Jinfan hugged her into his arms again and whispered: "Don't be afraid, we are going home. No one can force you to leave again, and I will never let you leave again."
Leaning on his shoulder, Ye Xi seemed to be crying harder, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.
Ye Jinfan hugged her tightly for a long time, then finally raised her face and asked in a low voice: "Xixi, where is the child?"
Hearing this question, Ye Xi froze suddenly, and the next moment, she just grabbed Ye Jinfan's arm hard, as if hoping that he would stop asking.
But Ye Jinfan stubbornly asked again: "Where is our child? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Ye Xi stared at him closely, obviously extremely sad, as if she would faint in the next moment, but Ye Jinfan still held her face, as if gossiping, Xu Xu asked: "Tell me, what is he like? Is he good?
Be good, are you making trouble? Has it made you hard?"
"She's dead—" Ye Xi finally couldn't help shouting, "She's already dead—"
When Ye Jinfan heard this, he didn't have any big reaction.
He just darkened his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he once again hugged Ye Xi, who was crying bitterly, tightly into his arms.
…
In the middle of the night, Ye Xicai, who cried until she was exhausted, finally fell asleep on the bed she was most familiar with.
It's just that she didn't sleep peacefully this time. From falling into chaos to suddenly waking up, it only took more than ten minutes.
But when she woke up, Ye Jinfan who was originally by her side was gone.
Ye Xi lay stiffly for a moment, then finally got up and walked out of the room barefoot.
The empty room was very quiet, so soon she heard Ye Jinfan's voice coming from the direction of the terrace.
He seemed to be talking on the phone, his voice was low and urgent, full of sullenness.
Ye Xi followed his voice and stepped forward step by step. When she finally reached the entrance of the terrace, she heard his last words clearly——
"...In short, I must make the Huo family pay the price they deserve—"
Ye Xi suddenly stopped in her tracks and did not take a step forward again.
After Ye Jinfan hung up the phone, he didn't move for a moment. He just sat in a chair on the terrace with his back to where she was, smoking one cigarette after another.
Ye Xi stood quietly at the entrance for a long time and looked at him for a long time.
She knew that the most important thing in his heart was still revenge on the Huo family.
She also knew that it was impossible for him to take her away and live the peaceful life she wanted.
But after all, she had no other choice.
Even if Mu Qian really never forgives her from now on, after all, this is the only way she can go.
…
The next evening, Mu Qian showed up at Lu Yuan's apartment on time again, carrying a pot of soup.
When she came in, Lu Yuan was immersed in painting. When she heard Mu Qian coming in, she suddenly put down her pen, closed the album, and then looked at Mu Qian, "You are really unstoppable, rain or shine."
"No, there will be obstacles soon." Mu Qian came forward with soup, "Huo Jinxi and I will go to Germany in two days, and I won't be able to make soup for you by then. But don't worry,
When the time comes, I will ask Auntie to make some soup and bring it to you, so you can still have something to drink."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Why are you going to Germany?"
"Play." Mu Qian replied smoothly, then her eyes fell on Lu Yuan's picture album, "Where are you painting?"
"No..." Lu Yuan paused and then said, "I'm bored, just writing and drawing."
Mu Qian heard the resistance in her tone and did not open her picture album. She just walked to the kitchen and got a bowl to serve her soup.
Lu Yuan then stood up and walked over, asking: "How long will it take to go to Germany?"
"Not sure." Mu Qian said, "About a week or so."
"Will Qi Ran go too?"
"Um."
Lu Yuan was quiet for a moment and then asked again: "How is Ye Xi?"
"Going back to where she belongs." Mu Qian replied calmly.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly, "This is her own choice, so don't worry too much..."
"I'm not worried." Mu Qian chuckled and said, "I used to think that the life that suits me will also suit others. But it turns out that's not the case. Everyone has his or her own path in life, and no one can do it for me.
Someone else makes the choice. So, let her make it."
