"Yes, I will send you abroad." Ye Jinfan said, "Didn't you say you won't have a happy life in Tongcheng? Then go abroad and live a peaceful life there."
Ye Xi looked at him in confusion and didn't answer for a while.
"I will arrange everything there so that you will not be disturbed and there will not be any security threats." Ye Jinfan said, "You stay there well and I will come to see you when I have time."
Ye Xi looked at him and couldn't help but open her mouth, but no sound came out.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jinfan said, "Isn't this what you want? Get the best of both worlds, isn't it?"
Ye Xi was still speechless.
Is this what she wants?
Yes, but also no.
What she wanted was a world for two people, and what Ye Jinfan gave her was a world for two people, but it was also a world for one person.
As he said, the best of both worlds.
He can continue to stay in Tongcheng and fight for everything he pursues, while she can stay abroad with peace of mind and be the woman behind him.
But in a day like this, she was afraid that it was simply a luxury.
"You said you wanted me to be considerate of you and think about you, and I did it." Ye Jinfan said, "But Xixi, you also have to think about me. You can't completely ignore my thoughts and ask me to follow you completely.
There are some things that I just can’t let go of.”
After a long time, Ye Xicai finally spoke again: "Let me think about it."
"Okay." Ye Jinfan responded, then stood up, glanced at the dress spread on the bed, and said, "I want you to know that I really need you to stay with me wearing this dress tomorrow night. Tomorrow
In the evening, I will come back to pick you up."
After saying this, Ye Jinfan turned around and left her bedroom.
Ye Xi sat up again and stared at the dress on the bed, her eyes not moving for a long time.
…
The next day, the Lu family annual meeting was on site.
Although Ye Jinfan, the chairman of the Lu Group, is currently in a turmoil, and many of Lu Group's investment projects have suffered losses, this annual meeting was held with unprecedented grandeur and excitement. The most luxurious hotel in Tongcheng was chosen, and the layout was particularly special.
Generous, like a fairyland.
When Mu Qian followed Huo Jinxi to the scene, the venue was almost full of guests.
Almost all of Tongcheng's upper class and business elites were present.
Seeing this situation, Mu Qian couldn't help but said: "Ye Jinfan is still very capable. Under such circumstances, he can still invite so many people."
A hostess led the two of them to the arranged seats, but many people came up to greet Huo Jinxi along the way, so the two stopped from time to time.
Huo Jinxi chatted with others, and Mu Qian occasionally made a conversation, but most of the time he just stood behind Huo Jinxi and took a thorough look at the banquet venue.
When the two of them finally walked to the banquet table at the front and sat down, Mu Qian whispered to Huo Jinxi: "Do you feel that this scene is arranged less like an annual party and more like...
"
"Wedding." Huo Jinxi took over the conversation and faintly said the two words that Mu Qian didn't say.
Mu Qian couldn't help but look at him, and then said: "And as the master, Ye Jinfan has not shown up yet, this is completely unreasonable. Of course, if he wants to appear as a newcomer at a moment when everyone is watching, then explain
It makes sense."
As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause and cheers suddenly erupted in the banquet hall. At the same time, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the direction of the source of the sound - the gate.
Mu Qian also turned around to look, and soon looked past the crowd of heads and saw Ye Jinfan and Ye Xi walking slowly in from the door.
From too far away, Mu Qian could only see Ye Jinfan in a black formal suit, and Ye Xi in a red dress, like a newlywed couple, which was particularly eye-catching.
Mu Qian only took a distant look and immediately looked away.
Huo Jinxi turned to look at her and stretched out his hand to hold her. Mu Qian leaned against him and started playing with her phone.
The inexplicable cheers and applause behind him continued, and everyone present obviously gave Ye Jinfan enough respect. The applause and cheers continued to approach, which meant that Ye Jinfan and Ye Xi were getting closer and closer.
Mu Qian did not look back, so she could not see the desolate calmness on Ye Xi's face.
In fact, Ye Xi was a little stunned and stiff from the moment she entered the venue.
Firstly, it had been a long time since she had appeared in front of others, especially in front of so many people; secondly, she had not expected that the Lu family's annual party would be such a grand and solemn occasion.
She originally thought that as the host, Ye Jinfan would arrive early to greet the guests, but she did not expect that as soon as she walked in, the whole place would be waiting for them.
Ye Jinfan held her hand and greeted the people around her while walking forward. During this period, everyone's eyes on her were curious and meaningful. The further Ye Xi walked forward, the more she became aware of something.
Such an appearance was too high-profile and eye-catching. It didn’t look like an annual meeting, but rather—
Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat and she didn't dare to think about it anymore. She could only try her best to stay calm and follow Ye Jinfan forward step by step.
Until, Mu Qian's figure appeared in her sight.
Mu Qian's back was turned to her, leaning on Huo Jinxi and playing with her mobile phone, but she still recognized her figure at a glance.
With almost everyone looking at her, Mu Qian's back-to-back figure seemed a bit awkward, but Ye Xi knew that this was her true reflection.
She stared at Mu Qian's back for a while, but Mu Qian never looked back at her. Even when she and Ye Jinfan were standing behind Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian talking to others, Mu Qian picked up her phone and scrolled through
Show something to Huo Jinxi, laugh while talking, as if he doesn't care about their existence at all.
Until Ye Jinfan led her to stand in front of Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian, and specifically greeted them: "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, thank you both for taking the time to come. It's really a great honor."
Huo Jinxi then stood up and said, "Lu's company has developed very well in the past year. As a partner, I should come to congratulate you."
After hearing this, Ye Jinfan still had a smile on his face and said, "That's not all because of Mr. Huo's care. I hope we can continue to cooperate happily in the future."
After saying that, Ye Jinfan picked up a glass of wine and toasted Huo Jinxi.
Mu Qian stood behind Huo Jinxi. It was only now that she finally glanced at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi was also looking at her, and when she saw her looking over, Ye Xi couldn't help but take a step forward, as if she wanted to say something to her.
However, Ye Jinfan stretched out his hand to stop her, and then said to the guests at the table: "I'm sorry, I'm a little late today. I'll talk to you in detail after I finish my speech. Please forgive me for the poor reception. Enjoy yourself."
After saying that, Ye Jinfan pulled Ye Xi towards the main table.
Mu Qian looked at the backs of the two of them, remembering that Ye Xi seemed to have something to say to her just now, and couldn't help but stare slightly.
