Chapter 10 He misses her

  Tian Xinnian was still worried about Ye Anning, so he went to the bathroom to find her. As expected, she saw her sitting on the ground with a painful and pale face, and hurriedly helped her up and drove her back.

  Ye Anning left home and rented a place to live on her own after turning 18. Her mother had passed away when she was five years old, and originally, her father's love for her was already lukewarm. After Qiao Yun and her son moved in, Ye Anning didn't have a single good day. Six years into their marriage, Ye Anning was five years old, and Ye Mingzhu was seven years old. However, Ye Mingzhu was actually the biological daughter of Ye's father. Two months after Ye's mother passed away, Qiao Yun moved into the Ye household, which made Ye Anning feel disheartened and disappointed.

  Tian Xinnian sent Ye Anning back to her apartment in a taxi, looking at Anning's pale face, Tian Xinnian felt heartache for her.

  "She called out softly, 'Anning, wake up, we're home.'"

  Ye Anning murmured and fell asleep in the car for a while. The wine also sobered up a bit, "Oh, goodnight sweetheart."

  Tian Xin Nian followed her down from the car, "I'll see you up."

  Yè ānníng let out a "tsk" sound, "Sweetheart, you're messing with me? I'm a taekwondo black belt, perverts see me and they have to kneel down and call me 'young lady'."

  A "poof" sound

  In the quiet of the night, the man's low laughter sounded especially clear, and it was only then that they saw a figure vaguely standing under the apartment building.

  Ye Anning narrowed her eyes, still unable to see clearly, and shouted angrily with the help of wine, "Who is sneaking around eavesdropping on Miss and Second Miss's conversation? Get out here!"

  Ye Anning's sudden roar at the riverbank instantly lit up the motion-sensitive lights in the pitch-black apartment building corridor.

  A familiar figure stands under the sensor light, with a soft smile at the corner of his mouth, which is even warmer than the orange-yellow light.

  Ye Anning suddenly fell silent, her body stiffening almost imperceptibly.

  Shen Yicheng walked over and smiled softly at Tian Xinnian, "Thank you for bringing Anning back."

  Tian Xinnian let out a soft sigh. This man was still as gentle as jade in her memory. She waved her hand and looked at Ye Anning with concern.

  Yan Ning wanted to give her a reassuring smile, but the corners of her mouth were unable to curve up. "Sweetheart, go back home and drive carefully, send me a text when you arrive."

  Tian Xin nodded in response, although she was still uneasy about this as it wasn't something she was suited to be involved in, and she also didn't know what exactly had happened.

  As soon as Tian Xinnian's car disappeared from view, Ye Anning turned around the man behind her and went upstairs.

  Shen Yicheng looked at her cold and expressionless face with a faint smile.

  "Alright..." The helpless and indulgent tone, unchanged from before, instantly reddened Ye Anning's eyes. A pair of warm, thick hands landed on her head, gently stroking it, the voice full of amusement, "Little girl, angry? Hmm, still drinking."

  Ye Anning's body trembled slightly due to her suppressed emotions. She had told herself that since he chose Ye Mingzhu, she would forget everything between them. Although she had made up her mind, she was still affected by his casual words and familiar tone and actions. However, the man beside her was no longer the Wing City brother from her memories who she could rely on.

  It used to be his warm smile, indulgent tone and loving gestures that could thaw her icy heart. But now this warmth no longer belonged to her. She turned her head to the side, lowering it, "It's late, brother-in-law, you should go back, or Ye Mingzhu will worry."

  Shen Yicheng was amused by her title, "Little girl, I've been gone for so long, don't you miss me at all... But I, really miss you."
