"Hello?"
"What are you doing? Didn't we agree to call each other in the evening? By the way, have you officially started your job? I heard you still have four days of vacation."
Hearing Xia Qianqing's words, Louis scratched his nose, and then he remembered.
After the new employee assessment, they are given seven days of vacation.
However, he didn't get much rest in the past few days since he came back.
Yesterday he was directly appointed as the inspector.
"I took office yesterday. Maybe it's because the position is somewhat special, so I took office early." Louis explained.
"So anxious? Isn't it just a captain? There are so many captains in the region, is it necessary to be so anxious? He took office so many days in advance. I wanted you to come to the island city to find me. There is a good western restaurant here, and I was thinking of trying it with you."
"Why don't you come to me? The barbecue at my house is also very delicious." Louis smiled, holding the phone and said with a smile.
On the other end of the phone, Xia Qianqing chuckled: "Are you planning to let me go over like a little lamb and wait to be eaten by you, the big black wolf?"
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar man in a black suit in the sunset, Wen Xiaolu felt a little sad.
Why......
She had never realized that Louis was quite boyish before...
He clearly always liked to watch me silently before...
But now, that gaze no longer belongs to me.
She left without saying goodbye, perhaps because she felt she was no longer worthy of Louis.
In fact, even she herself felt that she was not qualified to win back Lu Yi.
In the end, I could only leave in shame.
Looking at the departing figure, a complex look flashed in Louis' eyes.
He sincerely wishes Wen Xiaolu happiness.
But unfortunately, he couldn't give her happiness.
Because, once you miss it, you miss it.
The present is more worth cherishing than the past.
......
"Bang--"
Ye family.
Ye Bingtang threw the glass tea bowl to the ground, and the tea splashed on Ye Xiong's trouser legs.
Ye Bingtang's face was as cold as ice: "Who told you to touch anyone in my group?!"
"Ye Xiong, I'm telling you, if you dare to touch anyone in my group, I will never marry you even if I die!"
"Then you die. A ghost marriage is still a marriage." Ye Xiong sneered, leaning against the black leather sofa, looking extremely cold.
Ye Bingtang sneered in his heart.
Yes! This man puts the interests of his family above all else, and only cares about the family's rise and fall, honor and disgrace.
For the sake of his family's reputation and the benefits brought by the marriage, he could sacrifice his daughter's happiness and future without hesitation.
He may be a respectable leader in family affairs, but within his family, he is a cold and ruthless tyrant.
He viewed his daughters as potential threats, believing that once they were married off, they might become traitors to the family.
This twisted idea may mean that he would rather his daughters die than see them live and "betray" the family.
However, despite having such thoughts in his heart, he could never really make up his mind to end his daughter's life with his own hands.
So now you are impatient to drive her to death?
Ye Bingtang looked at her arrogant father sitting on the sofa, and every detail of her life with this father flashed through her eyes.
"Daddy, hug me."
"Bingtang, you should be more stable. The daughter of my Ye family should be able to hold up a big banner on her own."
At the beginning, this man still had a little warmth.
But when will the transformation happen?...
Oh, Ye Bingtang remembered.
It was when his second sister betrayed him.
“She disappoints me so much!!!”
"As my daughter, Ye Xiong, I thought she would be a smart person! But now she doesn't listen to me. It's true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled!!!"
"Ye Bingtang, Ye Bingtang, will you be like this in the future? Ah?!!!"
"Dad... Bingtang is a smart person. Even if I get married, I am still a member of the Ye family. The rise and fall of the family is linked to my value. I will not be like my second sister and tie myself up in knots."
"...Yes, this is my good daughter! Come to Bingtang, let daddy hug you. You are so smart. You must remember what you said today. Pinky promise."
At that time, she naively thought that it was really her second sister's fault.
But later, she was wrong.
She was like a tame canary in a cage.
As she grew older, the cage became a little too small.
She gradually became as disobedient as her second sister.
"Who asked you to join the Night Dive?!"
"Ye Bingtang, do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you have awakened your superpowers?! Or do you also want to betray me like your second sister?!"
"Dad...I just want to see a wider world."
“Pah—”
"You're talking nonsense! The world of my Ye family is vast enough! You just want to betray me!!"
betray......
But, isn’t it because you betrayed me first and chose the family?
You gave us life, now you should give us freedom.
But alas, this is not the world of Detroit Become Human.
She is not an AI robot either.
I can't even gather the strength to shout out.
She is just a poor canary trapped in a cage.
One day, she will be given to someone else by her father.
And this is her destiny.
"Really... Then I'd rather die." Ye Bingtang gave a miserable smile, and a sharp ice crystal condensed in his hand, stabbing straight towards his throat.
