C9 First Appointment

When Ye Yixin first came to the Ye Family, she was as obedient as a little rabbit, very pleasing to the eyes of her father, and also very passionate to Ye Youqing.

Because of her mother's death, Ye Youqing could not bear to bear grudges against her, but she had never blamed or relented. Although the two of them were not as close as the other sisters, as the older sister, Ye Youqing had been taking care of Ye Yixin and helping her for the past ten years …

After ten years of being together, she didn't know what Ye Yixin thought of her, but in her heart, she had long since treated Ye Yixin as her own sister.

The three of them did not speak along the way. When Ann Na sent them back to the Ye Family Villa, Ye Zhen was waiting at the door. Ann Na exchanged a few words of pleasantries with her seniors before driving away.

She promised Si Yuan that she would treat him to lunch, and she even agreed to help Si Yuan earlier.

Ye Zhen should have been waiting at the door for a while. The early summer's sun already has a bit of heat in it, his face is a little red from the sun, and the tip of his nose is covered in a thin layer of sweat. Seeing Ye Youqing get off the car, he hurriedly used his eyes to look at her up and down, then asked: "I heard from Ann Na that you've been sick for the past few days, how is it now? Is there anything wrong with your body? "

Although his tone was stiff, there was an unconcealable look of concern on his face.

Perhaps the sun was too high, Ye Youqing thought that Ye Zhen was just like the father who loved her for eleven years ago.

She answered blankly, "I feel much better. I'm just a little tired and want to go to sleep."

Ye Zhen nodded: "Alright, alright, it's already noon. I'll get Mrs Liu to boil some soup for you. It's still simmering. Drink a little and then sleep."

Ye Youqing nodded hesitantly. Ye Zhen was a little happy, so he ordered his mother to have lunch with his two daughters.

Taking into account that Ye Youqing had just recovered from her illness, the dishes prepared by Mrs Liu were all very light. Other than Ye Zhen asking her about her taste occasionally and giving her dishes, the two of them basically didn't talk much during the meal. However, the atmosphere was very warm.

Ye Yixin, who had been ignored by the two of them, ate quietly while she counted the times her father had given food to her sister. Her hand under the table tightened its grip on the dress, again and again, until the ruby flower was torn from the skirt and dropped to the ground.

She touched the torn part of her dress, and felt a secret pleasure.

Ye Yixin suddenly stood up and scooped a bowl of soup for Ye Zhen and Ye Youqing. When she handed the bowl over to Ye Youqing, she lamented, "Ever since Auntie Song passed away, this is the first time we've had such a happy meal together!"

The Auntie Song that Ye Yixin mentioned was Ye Youqing's mother. Her words brought back Ye Youqing's memories. The scene of her mother committing suicide flashed before her eyes. The spoon in her hand fell into the bowl with a "pa" sound.

"I'm full." Ye Youqing said in a daze and ran upstairs.

Ye Zhen gave her a deep look. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated and eventually slumped into a chair.

Ye Yixin stood there nervously. She looked at Ye Zhen and asked, "Dad, did I say something wrong to make sister angry?"

"It's alright," Ye Zhen smiled at her listlessly, "Sit down and continue eating. Dad will go to the company first, and he might be back a little late today. Remember to tell Mrs Liu to make some more soup for your sister."

"Alright." "Dad, be careful on the road. Don't work too hard."

Ye Zhen's heart warmed when he heard this. As expected, his little girl was the most considerate.

Upstairs, Ye Youqing was lying on her bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Ye Zhen's concerned and injured eyes, and his mother's eyes that could not rest in peace … They kept going back and forth. Her head was about to explode, and she desperately needed to do something to divert her attention.

At this moment, the phone at the head of the bed made two short rings. It was the text message notification.

Ye Youqing opened the text message and found that it was from Lu Yuanbai. She asked if she had lunch when she got home.

She held the phone for a moment, then suddenly remembered her identity as a potential customer. She decided to give the "pretty boy" on the other end of the line a reply: "Where are you now?" I'll pick you up and drink with me.

After nearly five minutes, Lu Yuanbai's text message still hadn't returned.

Just when Ye Youqing thought that he was stuck at work and was about to give up on this plan, a text message came in: Chenshui International Plaza, waiting for you. In the end, Ye Youqing added a funny little emoji, which made the corner of her mouth curl up.

When Ye Youqing arrived at the Chenshui International Plaza, she saw Lu Yuanbai, who was standing in the middle of the crowd.

Lu Yuanbai was a tall, 1.9m man. He was tall to begin with, and he was handsome, with an extraordinary temperament. Although he wore a cheap suit, he stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.

Lu Yuanbai also saw Ye Youqing and smiled at her from afar. He waved a small sunflower in his hand. Lu Yuanbai and his sunflower were standing in the light and were even more dazzling than the sun.

Ye Youqing was infected by his smile and smiled along with him. Her fretful mood finally calmed down a little.

People were coming and going on the square. She and Lu Yuanbai walked through the crowd towards each other. When they finally met face to face, there was joy on their faces. A vague ambiguous feeling appeared.

Lu Yuanbai handed over the little sunflower in his hand and said, "This is for you."

Ye Youqing smiled as she thanked him and asked, "You've been waiting for a long time?"

Lu Yuanbai shook his head: "I just arrived."

He had been discussing business near Chenshui International and sent a text message to Ye Youqing at the end. He didn't expect Ye Youqing to invite him for a drink, so he asked Lee Binn to cancel the afternoon meeting and go to the mall to buy a few cheap suits for him.

After he had changed his clothes, he went to the florist and picked a sunflower. Ye Youqing had arrived, and everything was just right.

"Didn't you want to drink? I know a clubhouse. It's a good way to keep secrets from getting photographed. " As Lu Yuanbai spoke, he took two steps forward and bent over in a gesture of invitation.

"Looks like this is where Si Yuan often goes." Ye Youqing asked again, "Do you need me to ask for a leave of absence from Si Yuan?"

Lu Yuanbai paused for a second and almost forgot that he was still Si Yuan's driver. He lied without thinking, "I've already hired him."

"Then let's go." Ye Youqing nodded.

Therefore, Lu Yuanbai acted as Ye Youqing's temporary driver and brought her to a private clubhouse. Ye Youqing found out when she arrived that the clubhouse was a membership system and she couldn't enter without a membership card.

Lu Yuanbai took out a membership card from his wallet and handed it to the front desk. The two of them were successfully released.

When he turned around and saw Ye Youqing looking at him with a puzzled expression, Lu Yuanbai quickly explained, "This is Si Yuan's membership card. He lent it to me at the last minute."

Ye Youqing raised her brows. "Your boss treats you so well." Si Yuan was a person who was very close to her. Occasionally, she would ask him for help, but she had to ask Ann Na for help. She didn't know that Si Yuan was so considerate towards his subordinates.

Lu Yuanbai agreed with a straight face: "Boss Si is indeed a good person."
