Chapter 124 Aren’t you waiting for Mr. Qi?

(The previous one has been added~)

Ji Jinhe frowned, and the hand on Qi Xiuxu's arm gently pulled his sleeve.

Qi Xiuxu noticed the movement here, tilted his head slightly to glance at Ye Xingyao, rubbed Ji Jinhe's head and said softly, "Come back soon."

Ji Jinhe withdrew his hand without looking back and walked towards Ye Xingyao.

Qi Xiuxu lowered his head to look at his empty arm, then winked at Cheng Mi, who nodded and followed Ji Jinhe away.

Ye Xingyao brought Ji Jinhe to a place with few people, stopped, and looked at Ji Jinhe hesitantly as if he wanted to say something.

Ji Jinhe placed the wine glass he had been holding for more than ten minutes on the table beside him and said nonchalantly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ye Xingyao bit her lip and looked at the two bodyguards following not far behind her.

Ji Jinhe tilted his head to glance at the two bodyguards, not taking them seriously. "Don't worry about them."

No one in the capital can stop her from doing anything she wants.

Oh, except for someone.

Ji Jinhe's eyes were deep, and he pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably unhappy.

Ye Xingyao thought for a while, then looked up at Ji Jinhe with hope in her eyes, "Miss Ji, please help me!"

The bodyguard was some distance away from the two men and did not notice anything wrong at this time.

"What can I help you with?"

Cheng Mi stood not far from the two of them, looking at Ye Xingyao with surprise. This girl would ask for help.

"I didn't get engaged voluntarily..." Ye Xingyao looked at the bodyguard in the distance, a look of sadness flashing in his eyes.

Her mother died when she was very young, and later her father had a new lover and children, and gradually stopped caring about her.

Even the monthly pocket money was not enough for her to spend. Ye Hongkai would only give her some pocket money when she needed to go out and deal with other girls.

The rest of the time, Ye Xingyao lived worse than a child from an ordinary family. Even her college living expenses were earned by her part-time job.

She has just turned twenty years old, but Ye Hongkai has already thought of using her to arrange a marriage, and the target is a man who is ten years older than her.

She didn't want to be used as a tool for marriage, so she kept running away these days and was caught every time.

Ye Xingyao was really at her wit's end, and even considered committing suicide, but...

What about her dog Laicai? Laicai is still in Ye Hongkai's hands.

Now her only hope is Ji Jinhe. Ji Jinhe has a high status, and Ye Hongkai will definitely not dare to go against her.

She knew it was a bit presumptuous to suddenly ask Ji Jinhe to help her...

Ye Xingyao turned to look at Ji Jinhe, "I really have no other choice. I don't want to be a tool for a marriage, nor do I want my life to be controlled by others. Miss Ji, please help me. I will be your slave for the rest of my life..."

Ji Jinhe's gaze swept over the bodyguard standing not far away again, his eyes dark and deep: "There's no need to be a slave to me. Just remember that you owe me a favor."

Ye Xingyao's eyes suddenly widened, tears streaming from her eyes, "You, you agree?"

"Yeah." Ji Jinhe lowered his eyes and looked at her, then raised his hand to wipe away her tears.

"You... thank you!" Ye Xingyao's tears flowed more and more. Feeling embarrassed at this moment, she raised her hand and wiped her tears hurriedly.

Ji Jinhe took out a handkerchief from his pocket and put it in her hand. He held her shoulders and turned her to face the door.

"You're welcome. I'm happy to help the girl stuck in the swamp. Go ahead, I'm behind you."

Ye Xingyao turned around hesitantly, "But, Laicai..."

"I'll help you get it back."

Hearing this, Ye Xingyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Jinhe's hand was still holding her shoulder, as if it could convey some mysterious power with an aura of courage, and her eyes gradually became firm.

Ye Xingyao raised her foot and walked towards the door of the banquet hall. Two bodyguards not far away saw her movements and wanted to step forward to stop her.

Cheng Mi took a big step forward and stood in front of the two bodyguards, his aura overwhelming.

The two bodyguards recognized Cheng Mi as a member of the Qi family and did not dare to move forward. They watched Ye Xingyao approaching the door step by step. One of the bodyguards turned and walked towards a certain direction of the banquet hall.

Ye Hongkai was still chatting with a certain CEO. When he saw one of the bodyguards coming over, his brows furrowed deeply and he shouted, "What are you doing here? Go back to the lady."

"Sir," the bodyguard glanced at the people around him and whispered a few words into Ye Hongkai's ear.

Ye Hongkai's face changed, and he quickly said goodbye to the boss next to him and strode towards the door.

When he was about to reach the door, he saw Ye Xingyao's back and opened his mouth to scold.

A voice suddenly came from the side, with a strong warning in the voice, "Mr. Ye."

Ye Hongkai's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around to look at the person who came, "Director Qi."

Qi Xiuxu lowered his eyes and glanced at him, "I see you are very anxious?"

"No, no." Ye Hongkai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Really?" Qi Xiuxu raised his eyes and looked towards the door. "My Jinhe likes to play with Miss Ye. Mr. Ye shouldn't mind."

These words were spoken in Qi Xiuxu's tone, as if he was giving a notice.

How could Ye Hongkai dare to say no?

He bent his waist and said, "I don't mind, I don't mind, as long as Miss Ji has fun."

Qi Xiuxu glanced at him and continued looking towards the door.

Ye Xingyao walked towards the gate step by step. The Ye family servants around her looked at Ji Jinhe who was lazily following her and did not dare to stop her.

The other guests noticed something and turned to look at one of today's protagonists walking towards the door.

Just like that, everyone in the banquet hall witnessed Ye Xingyao leaving the banquet until he disappeared.

After walking out of the door, Ye Xingyao slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Ji Jinhe in disbelief, "I did it!"

She finally stood up to Ye Hongkai once, and on such an important occasion.

Ji Jinhe raised the corners of his lips, "Well, you did it."

Outside the door, the bodyguard was waiting for them in a car. Ye Xingyao glanced back at the banquet hall and asked, "Aren't you waiting for President Qi?"

"Wait," Ji Jinhe raised his eyes lazily, "but not here."

Although Ye Xingyao, one of the protagonists, has left, the banquet has not been announced to be over yet. Ji Jinhe would not stand outside waiting for Qi Xiuxu foolishly.

Ji Jinhe ordered his bodyguard to drive the car to a milk tea shop not far away.

She pushed the ordered milk tea in front of Ye Xingyao and said, "Drink something sweet, it will make you feel better."

"Ah," Ye Xingyao was a little flattered, "Thank you, thank you."

Ji Jinhe put a straw into his own cup and said, "It's just a piece of cake."

Ye Xingyao looked at Ji Jinhe with a straw in her hand, her eyes slowly turned red again, and tears gradually filled her eyes.

Ji Jinhe looked at her with a puzzled expression. Why was she crying again while drinking milk tea?
