The waiter cautiously observed the man standing suspiciously outside the door in the distance, muttering to himself, "Is this guy out of his mind? What is he up to, standing there like that in broad daylight?"
In reality, Bai Ye did not leave after closing the door. He was standing tiptoeing outside the door, eavesdropping on the sounds coming from inside the room.
Bai Ye was thinking to himself that if the two women started fighting, he could rush in immediately to stop the farce.
However, to Bai Ye's disappointment, the room's soundproofing seemed to be quite good.
Unless the people inside are shouting or arguing, and are just having a normal conversation, he has no way of hearing what they are saying.
Unwilling to give up, Bai Ye continued to strain his ears outside the door, trying to catch some useful information, but all his efforts were in vain.
Just as he was feeling a bit annoyed, he suddenly looked up and found that the waiter in the distance was staring at him with a strange look.
Bai Ye suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He quickly scratched his head, trying to explain his behavior.
He strode up to the waiter and stammered, "Um...I...I just..."
The waitress clearly didn't buy his explanation; she looked at Bai Ye expressionlessly, her disdain growing more pronounced.
In her opinion, a man like Bai Ye, who sneaks around eavesdropping on other people's conversations, is most likely a two-timing scumbag.
However, seeing that Bai Ye did not do anything excessive, the waiter did not say anything more, but just gave him a cold look before turning around and leaving.
Seeing this, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to turn around and go back to eavesdrop when he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the room.
The room door was slowly pushed open, making a slight creaking sound.
Bai Ye stood not far from the doorway. Because his position was conveniently hidden by the open door, the person who had just come out of the room could not immediately notice his presence.
Seeing this, Bai Ye knew he was in trouble. He quickly slipped into another corridor next to him, moving swiftly and silently.
He cautiously peeked out, like a detective, observing the figures of the two women as they walked further and further away.
Once he was sure it was safe, Bai Ye tiptoed after them, keeping a distance at all times, afraid of being discovered.
Finally, he saw Yao Yuyan get into the car driven by his family's driver. The car slowly started and disappeared at the end of the street.
Bai Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief and came out from his hiding place.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng was still standing at the store entrance, seemingly anxiously waiting for a taxi.
Seeing this, Bai Ye's lips curled up slightly. He quickly walked behind Ye Qingcheng, gently patted her shoulder, and then said in a low voice, "Hi!"
Ye Qingcheng was completely unprepared for someone to suddenly greet her from behind. She trembled violently, as if she had been electrocuted.
Her first thought was that she had encountered a lecherous man with ill intentions, so she quickly turned around, her eyes wide with anger, and raised her little fist, ready to teach this person who dared to scare her a lesson.
However, when she saw that the person who came was Bai Ye, her fist stopped abruptly in mid-air, and her tense body instantly relaxed.
"Are you crazy?! Why did you scare me like that!" Ye Qingcheng complained irritably, clearly very dissatisfied with Bai Ye's actions.
Bai Ye was startled by her sudden reaction. He quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said with a smile, "My fault, my fault. Who knew you would react so strongly?"
Ye Qingcheng crossed her arms, a cold smile playing on her lips. Her eyes, sharp as icy stars, stared directly at Bai Ye as she said coldly, "What? Aren't you going to chase after your ex-girlfriend who's gone?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye felt a strange sensation welling up inside him. He muttered to himself, "Why does it smell so strongly of lemon?"
He scratched his head awkwardly and quickly explained, "I have nothing to do with her anymore."
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng's smile faded slightly. She turned her head away, seemingly dissatisfied with Bai Ye's explanation. Her tone was slightly displeased as she said, "But it seems she wants to rekindle our past relationship!"
However, Ye Qingcheng would never admit that she was upset because she was jealous!
She told herself that Bai Ye's entanglements with other women had nothing to do with her, and she wouldn't care at all!
She doesn't like Bai Ye at all!
Seeing that Ye Qingcheng was no longer speaking, Bai Ye didn't press the matter further, as the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
He was silent for a moment, then asked indirectly, "Ahem, what did you two talk about?"
He was really curious about what the two women had talked about, since they had deliberately sent him away.
Faced with Bai Ye's questioning, Ye Qingcheng did not answer immediately. Instead, she raised her delicate chin, tilted her head slightly, and gave off a somewhat condescending feeling.
A hint of arrogance flashed in her eyes. She parted her lips slightly and said slowly, "Beg me! Beg me and I'll tell you."
Bai Ye was speechless: "Tell me if you want, I don't want to know anyway!"
Ye Qingcheng turned away from him like a proud white swan, ignoring him completely.
Bai Ye was thinking about how to get back when he saw a shared electric scooter not far away and decided to ride it back.
It only costs two yuan to ride an electric scooter home, but it would cost around ten yuan to take a taxi.
Taking a taxi is not cost-effective at all, and it's not particularly cold right now, so riding an electric scooter is just right.
Bai Ye waved goodbye, saying, "I'll be going now, goodbye."
Ye Qingcheng turned around in a hurry and saw that Bai Ye was about to leave, so she quickly grabbed Bai Ye's clothes.
She said discontentedly, "What are you doing? If you're not coming back with me, where do you think you're going?"
He shook his head and said, "I never planned to go with you. I can just ride my electric scooter back by myself."
Ye Qingcheng, however, was relentless. She glared at him and said angrily, "How can you be like this? I've already called a car, can't you come with me?"
Bai Ye looked at Ye Qingcheng and suddenly found her rather cute. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, don't be angry. I'll go with you then."
Ye Qingcheng smiled with satisfaction. She loosened her grip on Bai Ye's clothes and said, "That's more like it. Let's get in the car now."
