Ye Huanhuan snapped out of her daze, her body reacting faster than her brain. She abruptly stood up and rushed out of the principal's office.
Her gaze was fixed on the figure receding into the distance, and she ran after it, shouting as she did so:
"Cheng Yue! Can you let me explain?"
Upon hearing the voice, Cheng Yue paused slightly, but she did not stop or turn around.
As Cheng Yue's figure gradually disappeared, Ye Huanhuan felt as if a piece of her heart was missing, leaving her with a slight pain, but mostly an emptiness.
Others treated her with sincerity, but she treated them like trash.
She truly deserves the consequences of her actions that have led to this situation.
Looking in the direction Cheng Yue had left, she couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly. Oh well.
Since it can't be explained clearly, let's just leave it at that.
It's good to go back to being Xia Huanhuan, the one everyone despised and scorned.
However, just as she was immersed in self-doubt, suddenly, a warm embrace held her tightly.
Ye Huanhuan's heart skipped a beat, a sour feeling rose in her nose, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She buried her face deeply in Tang Yi's chest, feeling the warmth emanating from him and drawing strength from him.
Tang Yi's deep voice came from beside her ear: "If you want to cry, then cry."
These words were like a key, unlocking the floodgates of Ye Huanhuan's deepest emotions.
She could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her cheeks.
"It's okay, I'm here for you." Tang Yi gently patted Ye Huanhuan's back to comfort her.
Ye Huanhuan looked up at Tang Yi with teary eyes, her heart filled with emotion and dependence.
"Thank you, Tang Yi..." Ye Huanhuan said softly.
Tang Yi gently wiped away the tears from Ye Huanhuan's eyes with his fingers and smiled tenderly.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to the Ye family first." He took Ye Huanhuan's hand and prepared to leave with her.
Ye Huanhuan's voice was muffled: "I...don't want to go back yet..."
Yes, she doesn't want to face Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan yet.
While in the hospital room, she said very firmly that she would never return to the Ye family in her life.
Although she knew very well that she was acting in order to lower Ye Ru's guard and make her complacent, so that she would reveal the truth.
However, Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan's distrust from beginning to end made her feel very uncomfortable.
"In that case..." Tang Yi asked tentatively, "Do you want to come to my place?"
There seemed to be a hint of expectation in his tone.
Is this considered an invitation?
Ye Huanhuan was taken aback.
Tang Yi looked at Ye Huanhuan, his Adam's apple bobbing, and his breathing becoming heavier. He added:
"Huanhuan, I will take good care of you."
Ye Huanhuan lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but inwardly she was constantly cursing herself:
You've already slept with her, why are you still pretending to be innocent, Ye Huanhuan!
"If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement." Tang Yi's voice was even lower, making Ye Huanhuan's legs go weak.
No! She couldn't go to Tang Yi's place; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself!
She's pregnant, so she can't have sex until she's three months along!
She looked up at Tang Yi, whose eyes were full of expectation, and shook her head to refuse: "No, you should take me to the hotel first. I want to be alone for a while."
The expectation in Tang Yi's eyes instantly turned into disappointment, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Okay. But..."
He released Ye Huanhuan, took her hand again, and said with a smile, "I'll take you to get something to eat first, so that my princess won't go hungry."
Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but mock herself: "Have you ever seen a princess so down on her luck?"
"As long as you're willing, you'll always be my princess." Tang Yi looked at Ye Huanhuan earnestly, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.
Ye Huanhuan's heart softened, and her face flushed slightly.
After having dinner at Xiyuan, Tang Yi took Ye Huanhuan to the Rosewood Hotel, the very place where Ye Haiming was holding a family reunion banquet for Ye Huanhuan.
"Get some rest. Call me if anything happens." Before leaving, Tang Yi tidied Ye Huanhuan's waist-length hair and gave her these instructions.
Ye Huanhuan nodded. "I understand."
Tang Yi stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on her head, and said softly:
"Huanhuan, when I left last time, I said I would give you a surprise, do you remember?"
Hearing Tang Yi's strong heartbeat, Ye Huanhuan's heart melted, and she softly replied:
"I remember……"
Tang Yi said with some guilt, "Huanhuan, I'm sorry, this surprise may have to wait a while longer before it can be delivered to you."
Ye Huanhuan shook her head, "It's okay."
Then, unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "But what exactly is this surprise you're talking about?"
Tang Yi smiled, cupped Ye Huanhuan's cheeks in his hands, and gently kissed her forehead.
"Huanhuan, just wait."
After saying that, he let go of Ye Huanhuan and said gently, "I'm leaving now. I'll come pick you up tomorrow when I'm done with my work."
Ye Huanhuan blushed and nodded. After watching Tang Yi leave, she closed the door and lay on the bed, lost in thought.
It was already 11:15 p.m., and there were only 45 minutes left before her bet with Wen Zhe ended.
Just then, Ye Ru sent her a message: [You lost.]
Looking at these three words, Ye Huanhuan felt both grief and humiliation.
She lost this confrontation with Ye Ru.
