In the business car.
Yu Xiao's eyes were hazy, clearly a little drunk, and she said happily.
"Ye Fei, I'm so happy today!"
"I really didn't expect to reach a cooperation with Madam Guan today. From now on, I won't have to work so hard to find jade raw materials!"
"You are truly my lucky star!"
Yu Xiao grabbed Ye Fei's clothes, mumbling something in her mouth.
Seeing her like this, Ye Fei knew she was drunk and planned to pull her away.
"Just hold on, we'll be there soon!"
Ye Fei finally managed to straighten her up, but within seconds, she leaned towards him again.
This time, she even unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Ye Fei, why aren't you paying attention to me?"
"It's strange that you don't react to such a beautiful woman in front of you!"
Ye Fei couldn't help but rub his temples. He had to persuade her back and comfort her, which was truly difficult for him.
As a man in his prime, how could he not have any thoughts about a woman throwing herself at him?
But no matter what, he wouldn't take advantage of her.
Fortunately, the business car arrived at the hotel entrance in less than five minutes.
Ye Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, Ye Fei held her in a princess carry and brought her to the room.
After gently tossing her onto the bed and tucking her in, he left the room and returned to his own room to rest.
The next morning, the group took a plane to Jiangcheng.
On the plane, Yu Xiao looked as if she had something to say but hesitated, with a blush on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Fei was about to catch up on sleep when he saw her eyes never leaving his face, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, it's nothing."
"I just want to ask if I did anything else to you yesterday?"
Yu Xiao stammered, her face red.
"It's nothing much, just a lot of praise for me and a desire to offer myself in marriage."
Ye Fei thought of the scene last night, and his breathing quickened.
As soon as he spoke, Yu Xiao's face turned bright red, and the memories of last night flooded her mind.
"I was drunk last night, and those weren't my true feelings. Please don't take it to heart!"
Yu Xiao retorted immediately.
Although she had a place for Ye Fei in her heart, she still felt quite embarrassed to fall for a man five or six years younger than her.
"Don't worry, I'm not a gossip, I won't say anything."
"You can rest assured."
"I already have someone I like."
"I won't betray her."
Ye Fei immediately promised.
Although the woman was charming, his heart could only hold his senior sister.
"Hmph!"
But as soon as he said this, the woman ignored him directly.
Ye Fei was also dumbfounded, completely unaware of what he had said wrong to offend her.
Seeing that she had put on an eye mask, clearly not wanting to talk to him anymore, Ye Fei could only sigh, cover himself with a blanket, and rest.
A few hours later, the plane landed safely at Jiangcheng Airport.
After getting off the plane, everyone hurried home.
Ye Fei was no exception.
This trip had taken nearly five days.
It was time for him to visit the He family first.
He originally wanted to say goodbye to Yu Xiao, but the woman seemed to still be angry and didn't want to pay him any attention.
"Young lady, I really don't know what I said wrong. Can you give me some hint?"
"I'm stupid, so please take pity on me!"
Ye Fei pleaded with a bitter face.
"Figure it out yourself!"
"Remember to come to the company to find me in two days, or your spot will be forfeited!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman rolled up the car window, blocking Ye Fei's view.
Yu Xiao in the car was not calm.
Ye Fei's words on the plane kept echoing in her mind.
As soon as she thought of him already having someone in his heart, a dull pain and restlessness filled her.
This was also the first time she had experienced such an emotion.
In the past, weren't others always eagerly pursuing her?
She was the one who held the initiative.
But she never expected that the first time she wanted to actively pursue a man, she would encounter such a difficulty.
"Uncle Wang, drive!"
Yu Xiao saw that Ye Fei had also gotten into the car and then instructed the driver to leave.
He Jingyao, knowing that Ye Fei was already in the car, did not go to the company today for a rare occasion. Instead, she personally prepared a sumptuous dinner for Ye Fei at home.
After everything was ready, He Jingyao finally had the time to sit down and dress up, waiting for Ye Fei's arrival.
The doorbell rang.
He Jingyao immediately got up, tidied her clothes, smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead, and then opened the door.
A suitcase was placed at Ye Fei's feet, and he himself stood there relaxed.
With a bang.
The door was opened.
Ye Fei's eyes immediately fell on He Jingyao, who was wearing a black silk dress. Her fair skin of her collarbone was largely exposed, her hair was softly pinned up, loosely tucked behind her ear, and she wore a red gem necklace on her collarbone.
A flash of astonishment quickly appeared in Ye Fei's eyes.
Was she dressed like this to attend a banquet?
Ye Fei was filled with confusion.
At the same time, he silently gave a thumbs-up.
If one encountered someone with an unstable mind, they would probably lose their soul to this woman.
"Ye Fei, you're finally back!"
"I, no, we all missed you."
"My grandfather has been mentioning you these days, asking why you haven't come back to see him."
He Jingyao almost blurted it out, but then quickly corrected herself.
"I will find time to see him."
Ye Fei smelled the alluring fragrance in the air and his gaze drifted into the room.
"It smells so good, my stomach is almost starving."
"Let me see what delicious food you've made."
Ye Fei patted his rumbling stomach and carried his suitcase into the room.
"They're all home-style dishes, try them and see if they're good."
He Jingyao's gaze had been on Ye Fei all along, so she naturally didn't miss that glance of astonishment he cast on her.
In the days Ye Fei was away, she had repeatedly asked herself if she would regret it if Ye Fei really broke off their engagement.
She was very hesitant at that time.
However, to avoid regretting it in the future, she decided to give it a try.
Give herself a chance.
Although Ye Fei said he already had someone he liked, as long as she hadn't pursued the person she liked, she still had a chance.
She didn't believe that with her charm, she couldn't win over Ye Fei.
