Chapter 5

Ye Qingli didn't say anything. She was not the kind of naive little girl who had just entered society. It was impossible for her to reveal her private affairs to a stranger.

Seeing that Ye Qingli didn't say anything, the girl didn't get angry. Instead, she took a sip of her drink and said to herself, "If you don't want to talk, then let me tell you. I just escaped from a terrible home. I'm penniless and a homeless person. Maybe I'll have to sleep on the street tonight. But I'm very happy because from now on, I won't have to listen to those people's orders anymore and I can chase my dreams. One day, I will become a household name and you will see me on the big screen over there."

Ye Qingli looked in the direction the girl pointed and saw a huge screen showing an advertisement. The actress in the advertisement was glamorous and beautiful.

Ye Qingli thought again, if what she said was true, it would be very dangerous for a little girl to wander around outside.

After the girl finished speaking, she looked at Ye Qingli and said, "I know it without you having to tell me. A young girl sitting on the side of the road crying, her troubles are nothing more than family, career or love. You look well-dressed, you don't seem to be from a poor family, so it must be because of love. Although I don't know what happened, I still want to tell you a life lesson, that is, before loving others, you must first learn to love yourself."

"If a person doesn't love herself, how can she be respected by others? Love is the spice in a boring life, and one's own life is the highlight, don't you think?" The girl said, blinking at Ye Qingli.

Ye Qingli stared at the girl in a daze. Her few light words were like a huge hammer hitting her heart.

No one has ever told her to love herself first, and she has always been trying hard to catch up with the person who doesn't love her.

"Okay, I've finished talking. I'm leaving first. Bye." The girl stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait." Ye Qingli called her.

Ye Qingli looked up at the girl, tears still in his eyes. "Thank you for telling me this. Didn't you say you wanted to pursue your dreams? Let's add each other's contact information and let me be your first investor."

After separating from the girl, Ye Qingli called a taxi and returned to the apartment.

She found all the gifts that Jinsi had given her.

From small items like earrings to large items like property deeds, everything was placed on the bed in chronological order.

Ye Qingli sent a message to Ji Jinsi's assistant: "I have something for President Ji. It's in my apartment. Remember to pick it up."

"Okay, Miss Ye." The assistant responded quickly.

After doing all this, Ye Qingli packed up his things.

She only took away a few pieces of clothes she bought, and kept all the ones Ji Jinsi gave her.

Her ID card and household registration book were all in her hands, so she didn't need to go back to the Lin'an villa.

Ye Qingli looked at the suitcase at his feet and suddenly realized that after staying in this city for so many years, he had so few things that belonged to him.

"Ye Qingli, after tonight, you have to start learning to love yourself and live your own life." Ye Qingli said with a big smile. Gradually, the smile became smaller and smaller. She squatted down and burst into tears.

It was at this moment, in this empty room, that she was able to completely vent the emotions that had been suppressed all night, leaving her past self behind.

This time, she is finally going to let go.

The next morning, after working all night to finally deal with the urgent matter, Ji Jinsi took off his glasses, closed his eyes, and relaxed his sore eyes.

"Knock knock" someone is knocking on the door.

"Come in." Ji Jinsi opened his eyes.

The assistant pushed open the door and came in: "Boss Ji, the matter has been resolved, and the client has approved our plan."

"Okay. Tell Li Kun to be careful. If something like this happens again, he won't be able to keep his position as director."

"Okay. Mr. Ji, do you want to go back and rest now?"

"Yeah." Ji Jinsi stood up and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and asked, "Did Qingli say anything to you last night?"

"After I informed Miss Ye last night that you would not be returning, she didn't say anything," the assistant replied.

Ji Jinsi recalled the expression of suppressed sadness on Ye Qingli's face before she left last night. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go order the latest model of bag and send it to her."

Ye Qingli is the most well-behaved. She will definitely not be angry about what happened last night. She will just be a little bit irritable, and she can be coaxed into submission by giving her a bag.

The assistant agreed readily, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he said, "By the way, Mr. Ji, I almost forgot. Miss Ye said she has a gift for you. It's in her apartment."

Ji Jinsi was stunned for a moment, then smiled as if he understood something.

"Let's go to her place." Ji Jinsi felt that it would be a good idea to sleep with Ye Qingli in his arms.

When they arrived at Ye Qingli's apartment, Ji Jinsi unlocked it with his fingerprint.

The apartment was silent.

Ji Jinsi closed the door, took off his suit jacket, threw it casually on the sofa, and slowly walked towards the bedroom.

He just opened the door, but did not see Ye Qingli.

A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Jinsi's eyes. He looked around and found something on the bed.

His memory of those things was already very vague, but he still clearly remembered the bracelet that he had put on Ye Qingli's hand the night before.

He picked up the bracelet, a dark light flashed in his eyes, as if he realized something, he stood up and opened the wardrobe.

The clothes in the closet were hung neatly, all of which were clothes he had given to Ye Qingli over the years, but the suitcase in the corner was nowhere to be found.

There was an inexplicable emotion brewing in my heart, and a terrible low pressure seemed to form in the room.

Ji Jinsi took out his cell phone and called Ye Qingli.

"Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off his phone. Please try again later..."

Ye Qingli pulled the suitcase and threw the phone card in his hand into the trash can.

"Sister, can Xiaobao really leave the hospital?" Xiaobao asked, hugging her legs.

The gloom between Ye Qingli's brows disappeared because of Xiaobao's words: "Yes, Xiaobao, let's go to a new place together, okay?"

"Good, that's great!" Xiaobao cheered happily.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy?" Lin Pingyu, who had completed the discharge procedures, walked over.

"Brother Lin, my sister said we are going to a new place." Xiaobao waved happily at Lin Pingyu.

"Xiaobao, you can't call me brother." Lin Pingyu squatted down and said.

"Not calling you brother? Then what should Xiaobao call you?" Xiaobao asked with his head tilted.

"Hmm..." Lin Pingyu thought for a long time, but finally gave up. It was too early for Xiaobao to call him dad. "It's okay, just call me brother."

Lin Pingyu stood up and looked at Ye Qingli. "Have you really decided to go with us? Will your family agree?"

Ye Qingli looked at the fallen leaves on the ground coldly: "My mother has passed away, and I have no family. Let's go, don't miss the plane."

Lin Pingyu felt that Ye Qingli was acting strangely, as if something had changed overnight, but he was smart enough to know that he shouldn't say anything more, so he picked up Xiaobao and said, "Let's go home!"
